I went with a 3/4 hp last time to save 400 dollars and it works fine for pens etc. but not enough muscle for bowls. I purchased this one last time with 1 hp and it maks all the difference . Never slows , is very smooth, easy to change speeds with reverse for sanding. Had it about a month and absolutely love it.

I wouldn't run that standing in front of it. Easier to see but ive seen enough blades come thru the metal housing to know if that happens, you are in direct line of fire. I used to walk right beside the blade guard until a blade came thru about 18" and almost got my leg. I also had a shaking problem but it was due to some bolts that worked lose and when a wind storm hit, knocked the head off the tracks and misaligned everything. Had to take mill off the tracks and reset to get rid of it.

Great to see you folks back out on the water! That's a beautiful boat you built!! Really enjoy your videos, and love seeing you and the misses having a beer enjoying a lovely day fishing! Need to throw a couple crab pots out from the coast guard station next time when the waters rough like that! Hope to see many more vids enjoying a beautiful day on the water enjoying a cold one(or two or three 😂)
@OregonOldTimer6 күн бұрын
First time we put out crab pots, one was gone when we got in from fishing. We noticed while heading out that there were two other pots near our two. When we came back, the only on left was one of ours, clearly marked with our ID. About fifty yards off was a lone pot, no ID. I figure that one either got dragged off or otherwise displaced. I figure the owner came back, saw three, and took two. I don't put down crab pots in Tillamook Bay anymore unless I can stick around and watch them.

This was and is my top contender choice so thank you so much for your review. I am working on a Beaver/Rockwell at the moment so definitely identify with your first part of the video haha I worry that this model is not enough of a size increase but only experience on one of the big lathes would tell. My biggest issue on this lathe is there appears to be no tailstock support when turning on the outboard. right? When turning the biggest pieces you'd want the safety/support and not have it. Seems odd. Last note I see on LeeValley they showed current model shows a forward/reverse switch where you can tell which position it is in. I wonder what other fixes they have had :)

@@OregonOldTimer That's awesome! I'll have to be sure to keep checking back in hopes of seeing what you come up with.

I wear wide shoes too! BUT 40 yrs of work boots and a broken left big toe joint, both my Big toes are pushed up against my 2nd toe. I was born with 2nd and 3rd toes, both feet joined together up to the last joint right behnd the toenail back line. Now that I'm retired I'm fighting bunions and corns. A day in a pair of wide work boots and my feet hurt like walking on sharp rocks by the time I take them off for the day. My feet need a Miracle to ever get both big toes straight again. P.s. I like your review and your modifications. I hope the shoe company listens to you. God Bless and keep you Eric.
