    burning groove inside a bowl

    I use formica to burn grooves. The speed needs to be kept at a higher rpm. You want to generate a lot of friction and heat.

    Powermatic 3520B...Dream Machine or Hype

    I'm getting into this discussion a little late. I don't own a Powermatic, but have turned on one in 5 classes at John Campbell Folk School. They are great lathes, but, I think that the Jet 2hp 1642 is the best bang for the buck. I have a Oneway 2436 and 2 Oneway 1224's. I also have the...

    Hurricane chuck?

    I decided to give the Hurricane chucks a try last March. I found that they worked well. They weighed more than the Talons I was used to. I eventually decided to sell them and buy another Talon. I still have 2 of the HTC 100's. I went back to the Talon as I had grown used to them and my jigs...

    Any Oneway lathe owners here?

    I have both the Oneway 1224 and the 2436. Great lathes. I have the short extension for the 2436. Both of them are built like a tank. I would go for the 2436, the outboard capacity is tremendous(44" if I remember correctly). If you ever get up to the Cary area, you are welcome to stop by and...

    Rough Turning Bowls

    Mike the rule of thumb in roughturning bowls is to make the thickness 10% of the dia. Leave the tenon on and round over the sharp edges. I store mine in a cardboard box. I date them and weigh occasionally. Sometimes the end grain should be sealed. When the blank stops losing weight it is...

    It's Here! Caution - New Lathe Gloat

    Tim, I hope that you enjoy your 2436 as much as I have enjoyed mine. I wish that I had gotten the wheel set with mine. I have moved mine twice by myself(moved into a new shop). Enjoy.

    GWL - first bowl

    You should try a jam chuck to hold the bowl. Mount a piece of 3/4" plywood or mdf to your faceplate and cut a groove in it that you can push your bowl into. It should be a snug fit. You can re-enforce the hold with strapping tape. Take light cuts and you should be fine. FWIW curved side...
