Thanks for that demo! My lathe does need a handwheel, so this should be useful.

How do you adjust if it doesn't align?
@SouthAucklandWoodturnersGuild2 ай бұрын
All lathes are different. The Nova Neptune Lathe as shown in this video, page 20 of the manual (available for download from teknatool.com) explains the process of aligning the headstock. If you have a different lathe then you should consult the manual for that lathe, failing that hopefully someone has posted something to the internet that can help.

My next lathe improvement project. And for the same reason.

Much nicer with the wooden handle than the standard plastic knob or bare bar.

I turned a wheel for my Laguna 12/16 soon after I got it. It came with a smooth shaft instead of a wheel. I bored a hole in the wheel on the lathe exactly the size of the factory "wheel" and glued it on. Works fine. As you say, the concept is more important than the method.

Nice upgrade. I think I'll add a short piece of brass rod to the end of mine.

Are there any disadvantages to using a direct drive lathe?
@SouthAucklandWoodturnersGuild2 ай бұрын
We have not found any downsides, all the permanent lathes at South Auckland Woodturners are Nova DVR direct drive, this is also what most of our members are using in their own workshops as well. Nova DVR is smoother and quieter, with excellent power delivery and torque, ideal for the training programs we run at the club.

To more accurately register the 4 screw holes with the centre of the larger hole, align the same edge of each of the 4 holes with the cross lines. i.e. i.imgur.com/UPjNYoq.jpeg
@StevePrior3 ай бұрын
If you were going to turn the handle on the lathe while it was mounted on the wheel, why didn't you cut the center hole a little under sized and then true it up on the lathe? Then it would be perfectly balanced.

Thanks for your feedback. There are always many ways to approach a task such as this, the concept is more important than the method.

Thanks for the tip. I need to clean mine down because I left wet turned oak shavings on the bed overnight.
@SouthAucklandWoodturnersGuild3 ай бұрын
Wet oak, now you will have black on the bed of that nice new lathe from the tannins. Best to develop the habit of brushing the lathe down after use.

Nice looking lathe, but they won't be coming out until at least May of 2024.

Availability varies depending on the market. They are available in New Zealand, Australia and progressively rolling out around the world.

Is that chuck rusted?
@SouthAucklandWoodturnersGuild5 ай бұрын
A very used chuck from Terry’s workshop, not actually rust. Note he is also running an adapter as his chuck is M30 from his lathe and the Neptune has 1 1/4” 8 tpi in New Zealand configuration.

does the rotating head not have detents for alignment?
@SouthAucklandWoodturnersGuild7 ай бұрын
Yes it does have detents, but for accurate realignment with the tailstock we have found better results using the acruline (double ended morse taper) with all lathes that have a swiveling head.
@JamesBondDZero7Mi68 ай бұрын
It looks like a nice lathe for a midi lathe but for an everyday bowl lathe, I'd question the longevity of its design. It seems there is limited length in the spindle shaft for enough bearing support for heavy bowl roughing. The tailstock also looks a little lightweight to me. I'd consider this for a 2nd lathe for lighter finish work. I think it's still in the beta stage.
@SouthAucklandWoodturnersGuild7 ай бұрын
The design of this lathe is so well proportioned that it looks lighter than it is. If you require a larger lathe and desire the Nova direct drive then the Orion on Nebula may be a better fit for you.
