I need a drive centre (which I just ordered off poolewood) and then I'm saving me pennies for a chuck. So any bowl work will have to be on the face plate. Going to look into that now.

The Supersaw just left me Oh well.

Great ! do yourself a wee friction chuck for reversing it out of scrap, and we'll have a bowl pic up by half nine !

what size thread is it?

 

[wizer]

Cheers George. it's a no2 morse taper with a thread of M33 x 3.5

I just went out to fit the face plate and I couldn't get it on :? I'll have another play in the morning.

whats that in old langauge tom is it 1 1/2" by 16tpi ? i may have an old pollewood chuck from my euro 2000 days.

 

[wizer]

I really don't know tbh, but I suspect it's not the same. 1 1/2 inches is 38mm

 

[Mattty]

Where have you got the beastie from Tom? i had a quick google and couldn't find them being sold- They look expensive new?

 

[maltrout512]

Just had a quick look on their site and if it's the same model it says

Spindle Thread 30mm x 3.5 p

Come on Tom photos :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Mr Ed]

Never let it be said that you approach things by half measures Tom! It looks like quite a thing.

I think the cup holder might be faulty as the previous owner appears to have spilt his coffee down the front a few times... :lol:

Happy turning this weekend

Cheers, Ed

NB - just imagine the secret santa possibilities.... :wink:

I actually had a go at cleaning it today but the stains are various finishes so are hard baked on. Not sure how to shift it. Or even if I should bother as I'll probably get it that messy myself.

There a bit pricy!

Yeh but who needs food and heat?

 

[Paul.J]

Nice one Tom.
I don't blame you getting a substantial lathe to start on.
This should last you for some time

 

[Ironballs]

Congrats on the new purchase Tom, just be careful of the spinny bits and big chisels with your history of luck. I've only had a crack at turning once and kept getting the butt end of a chisel rammed in my direction when attempting a rounded over curve
