Thanks for your feedback Dick, it sounds like we both are not willing to put our health at risk. The one I have now is this thing : http://www.amazon.com/AIR-PRO-Airshield-Faceshield-Protector/dp/B002Q0Y5IU Horrible to use, get head ace due to the band holding it and it's pretty darn heavy. Got...

Dust boxes Nice setup guys. Was just wondering; Is it enough to make a dust box with the dust extractor to make these machines operate without problems and safe? Would the linear guids clog up and jam if you only use the extractor hose or do you have to clean the detais up after each day of...

I feel I have many of my machines dust-proof but there is still some operations which I react to. Therefor -I bought a Trend Airshield-some-thing which was useless. Way to heavy and noisy. If you have the neck that Mike Tyson-you might find it ok... Now-I have considered the pro 3M setup...

Ower here most of the Predator users has sold their shafts but kept their butts, and then migrated to Tiger. The reason is that the quality has gone down the drain according to them-shafts warp like a dogs bone and the companies anal sales policy has backfired at them litteraly shooting them...

Doug That looks like a good setup! I had the choice of geting a HSD spindle which was wather cooled when I bought my setup, but ended up with a aircooled one. Can't be in the shop when I'm cutting at full rpm's - ear protectors needed AND earplugs in addition... My peak out at 18k Rpm's and...

http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=253191 First design work great for lathe turning. The coring design works ok for coring but needs to be redesigned for 100% result. However- I drilled a hole on the side for my router an it did a ok job. I need to add some brush design to seal the...

Here is Bob's explanation http://www.dzcues.com/images/mod-pin.jpg I'm not sure however if he uses a custom pin but the basic is that the depth of the threads is adjusted (inside the shaft) so the thread is not as deep as the "normal" ones. This is then compensated for with a larger diameter...

Carom shafts Just to make sure so I don't cock up here : Would these work to make the stock carom wood threads or are these a special breed for the carom industry? I have no Carom shaft to measure at but would be kind of nice to have a tool which would work for this work as well - not just in...

Joey Was considering a similar one for some of my work, but never got there. In any relation it should be better than a router-more teeth/Sec but that would be on of the latest passes. For hogging I guess you would most likely use a router bit. Compared to a table saw setup-> for those having...

I do the same: -First fiber pad with CA -Then turn this with a special tool to match the ferrule -Then sand and install tip. Never lost a pad but have lost break tips. K

Well, took my chinese chuck out today and mounted everything in one bang. TIR was so far out that the 4 bolts could not take it in..... Mounted only the back plate and to my surprice the face was way off. Took the plate off-spindle is perfect - no issues. Mounted back the plate with one shift of...

I'm not touching Ivory at all-I leave that to others. Just a question-When would the US run out of "pre-ban" ivory ( the ban started in 89' right?) If you think about it 2 times before you flame me you would get my point... My comment is not related to the company mentioned-just a stubborn view...

As mentioned by me, yes - both work, and yes - depending on the machine people use - they might prefer one over the other :wink: I never used a Delux so I can't comment on how rigid the cross slide or the saddle is, but it might be the reason for tailstock feed. And as Chris has mentioned, he...

Guys, this is making a storm in a glass of water. I have coring drills which I use in the tailstock and I have a different which I can use on my quick change tool post. Both work ! Alining the ones in the tailstock is easy. Just make sure the tailstock is zeroed and not off set. Doing the...

I was just considering something else as the hoggers while turning things round. The ones I have used on the cnc setup is just the normal wood cutters cutting frim the side. The lathe setup uses a horisontal router with a pocket cleaning mill-but the router died on my last time. Hmm, would have...

Sorry Kim, but here is a pic. Might be a stupid idea:(

Was considering to try a bevel cutter (60' version) in my CNC as a tool for tapering some of the species. I use KJs sawlade setup for some operations but the normal wood cutters I else use has only 2 cutting sides. I know about the wing cutters but was just considering the bevel as a potential...

Rick, With the amount of foam you have I see the effect more water gives. However, I think I need to start using a larger gap between the core and the material in case. Hmm, I'm not sure if I would like to experiment to much, the pics show the gabon I have talked about and also a 0,775 cored...

Thank you all for your feedbacks and PM- all are highly appreciated. I whent down to the shop today and did a clean up of the machines and checked the forarm I mentioned. It has swelled with the bobles in the end where I started the dowel, and a little less in the flush end. I'll poste some...

Cleard, but I need a Club membership :-)
