Re: Mark VII a start and a long ways to go..

Had 1st issues with the wheel setup. The Tinnerman clips gave way holding one of the casters to the shoe. I pushed it hard thinking I was stuck in a rut and the wheel mount bent as it was folding over. Anyway just posting to say this machine is so easy to work on bottom half. The ability to tilt eac...

Re: Gallery of Restorations

RF Guy- turned a couple bowls and so far works well. The shroud holds a lot so what’s not sucked up is easily sucked up with loose 4” hose as I move along. The finer dust is well taken care of and that was my biggest concern. I make changes all the time, on everything it seems like. If I change for ...

Re: 10ER Lathe dust collection and leather skirt

Finished up dust shroud and trying to figure out best port locations. I have one on top to hopefully keep the finer dust away from me. Thinking of just a 4” hose and a smaller “big gulp” at bottom.
