GET YOUR JET LATHE HERE goo.gl/B6rtWS

[@will2-b150]

[@TheBrokenLife]

I expected that to be a lot more expensive. I assume you did even better on the price locally?

[@SachiWI]

I'm a bit frustrated Cody - You have gone on and on about this forged tool but NEVER explaining what the hell it is

[@joshg4533]

Wranglerstar I'd prefer voiceovers much more than music when you're sound camera work. It's just boring with music

[@robertpothier1861]

Sachi In Wisconsin A froe is usually used for fine wood splitting as far as I know. Things like making shingles and such. You can probably find videos of them in use if you Google it.

[@chaselatendresse1777]

My father and I just picked up a old wood lathe at a auction 2 weeks ago. it's over 20yrs old made in good old USA in Michigan!!! So much fun these wood lathes! Can't wait to see up and coming homestead projects.

[@andymanly5101]

Your scraping with your tool not cutting, lower your rest and the cutter. Let it ride on the wood before you bring up the cutting edge. You shavings should be long and like ribbons. Be careful.

[@CapnCrusty]

Agree. You need to get some turning instruction right away before a tool used improperly causes you to meet an orthopedic surgeon.

[@RyeHillBaptistChurch]

Yep. Tool rest needs to be adjusted to center of work piece where the cutter makes contact. And never put your thumb on top or the cutting tool (Don't Ask Me How I Know) A Catch can mess up Thumbnails in a nano second. Hold the tool with your whole hand with your thumb pointing at you for roughing a piece round, especially with small tools like Cody's (Not Much Leverage for Stability).

[@Suitednzooted11]

I figured someone would have already said it, but yes ride the bevel of the gouge on the wood. The only tool you should be pointing down with is a scraper, gouges or skews should be riding the bevel.

[@L2FlyMN]

Congratulations on getting your jet! You will definitely enjoy using that tool. I was so relieved to see a taper in the eye of the froe! If you take too much taper off the end of the handle though, you will regret it, because you will eventually drive the handle right off the end, as you're pounding on the blade to drive it through the wood. Because as the wood shrinks, and compresses overtime, you will notice it being driven further toward that end. It needs to have an overhang similar to a pickax, to compensate for that. At least you have the convenience of a wood lathe now, so if you find you have issues, you can make a new handle. Remember to, the longer your handle, the more leverage you will have for prying.

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

But you had to say it again anyway...lmao. I think that makes about 103 times this has been pointed out in the comment section with each person after the 1st knowing that it was pointed out but just had to point it out again anyway. Makes people feel good when they act like they are experts and know something a beginner doesn't know I guess.

[@joshsaxon9904]

Little tip, make a plus on the side where the live center is and the middle of the live center can go in the part where the lines intercept and the outside bits can go into the lines cut the lines 1/8 in.

[@gmanlipripper]

love working on my lathe. know you need some vintage starrett outside calipers instead of your dial calipers. watch you shirt untucked too. all ways tuck mine in... have fun and be safe

[@TheOlsonOutfit]

A few years ago there was a gruesome death in my county involving a large lathe and a jacket.

[@gmanlipripper]

yeah much respect for my lathe. and always tuck my shirt in. Mr WS at least had his sleeves rolled up.

[@kenjohnson5495]

I have a Jet lathe and love ❤️ it. Mine is a little larger, but I wanted to turn large bowls. Congratulations on your purchase of a great shop tool.

[@m2hmghb]

Spring pole lathes date back many centuries. They're time consuming to work with and they take time to master but you can turn out some impressive items using one.

[@SOLT_Mark]

You will enjoy that lathe. Lathe work is fun and relaxing. It's easy to use to make gifts for family and friends too.

[@ebudrow1]

You can still turn a knob on the end, taper last 8-12 inches and shape the end. It doesn't need to be full thickness because of leverage. And the weight savings adds up by the end of a long day.

[@edadpops1709]

Note always keep your tool perpendicular to the tool rest.never point it down between the part and tool rest.other wise it might slap you or go thru your nice window. Be careful. Nice rig though.

[@sethwarner2540]

I think you might be happy if you could take the handle out if you want. So a knob on the bottom of the handle and a shaft that slides up through the hole would be a solid handle to hold and rive with, yet out it falls when you are done.

[@corytenhundfeld1553]

Keep your tail stock screwed out half way making it easier to remove for fitting rather than unscrewing then sliding the whole tail stock on the lathe. Also make or buy a good jig to sharpen your gouges having that perfect bevel makes a big difference

[@bigpapi3636]

Cool tool! There's something very satisfying about turning a piece of wood.

[@robtdriver]

Cody, a word of caution either put a cage over the widows or move your lathe to a different wall without windows trust me there will come a time when a turning piece and it lets loose if you turn long enough.

[@404BOOMER]

Just a tip- don't lay your calipers in all that sawdust. You will get the dust in the rack and pinion and sometimes causes problems in it working.

[@wavemanwt]

What is the MOST dangerous tool in the shop? The Lathe.Please read, understand, and follow the safety instructions that come with your lathe.Safety Sally rant off...

[@wcf8084]

STOP! Remove all jewelry, and loose fitting clothing before operating the lathe. Find and mark the center on both ends of the piece you want to turn. If the piece is square, use a hand plane to round all four sides to reduce chipping. Remove the spur drive (by tapping it out) from the spindle and mount it to the center point you just marked on the end of the piece. Reinstall the spur drive (with piece attached) to the spindle. Adjust the tail stock to set the center (live or dead) to the piece. You can use bees wax as a lubricant on the center. And most importantly, take some lessons before you do any of the above or use your lathe again. Please.

[@Suitednzooted11]

Why remove the spur drive? I have always just marked centers best I could and set the piece. Use the tailstock quill to push it into the spur nice and tight.

[@james5426]

G. Flanary taking the corners off the piece is a waste of time.

[@Suitednzooted11]

Art Heen When you're turning something that small and square between centers it's certainly a waste of time. Since it's square the 4 corners cancel each other out for the most part unless you're way off on centering it.

[@wcf8084]

I make it a practice to trim the corners on all stock. It's a matter of personal preference, but on larger pieces it's a must. You don't have to use a plane. A bandsaw or table saw works well. It only takes a couple of minutes. Try it if you haven't. Maybe you'll like it. Maybe not. Both methods remove excess wood, but it's less intimidating for a beginner not to have those corners spinning and almost invisible.

[@Suitednzooted11]

I completely agree with that, you should definitely try to get it centered well and not wobbling. That's kind of different than taking the corners off square stock, which seems pointless even with very hard wood.

[@edwarddouglaspierce]

Love my lathes! A Nova for small turning for mallets and pens and a classic Atlas for full length spindles! Get a good chuck, they are great! Just turned a mother day gift!

[@chrisbulldog1353]

That is so nice well done excellent choice for your shop. Mrs. W is so nice to let you stick in her mostly new oven or you are really brave lol

[@lpfreak1708]

those calipers just laying on the ways in the path of chips is killing me...

[@AverageJoeShopTalk]

Welcome to the club. I'm sure there will be no shortage of advice coming your way on the way you're using your tools, and I'm equally sure that you'll learn many techniques to improve your efficiency as you play with your new addition, so I'll refrain from offering my two cents. Great job turning the handle so far. CTPFYF

[@TeethRider]

Wow i need a wife like yours! "Hey I need to put something in your oven", "What is it just metal?", "Yep", "Okay, through em in". That's trust right there.

[@dylancoyle3703]

_RiskJr_ I use to melt lead for fishing weights in my mother's oven she didnt mind until I used her baking tray to cast them. Then I caught a coffee mug to the ass as I run out the back door

[@bigpapi3636]

Dylan Coyle Good one!

[@doghawkhunter]

As you find the therapeutic addiction that comes from turning on your lathe, you will definitely want to pick up a chuck. The Nova G3 is awesome. This one should fit the 1-in 8TPI threads on your Jet spindle: a.co/anq7Oqy

[@stevenhardy2898]

The just being released nova 1624 ii lathe looks pretty awesome too (similar price and footprint) and CAN do outboard turning.

[@CrossroadToCountry]

Steven I'd steer clear of NOVA. I wish I'd never gotten one. They aren't horrid but some things really get old with these lathes...

[@stevenhardy2898]

Thanks... I am not likely to buy new Asian powertools. I now buy old iron such as Delta and RBI and restore it. There are some really nice deals out there as high schools get rid of their shop classes.

[@philc457]

doghawkhunter I'm fairly sure the spindle is M33. At least my copy of the exact same lathe is ....

[@doghawkhunter]

Phil C, thanks. I should know better than to assume. I had to send back my first chuck because it didn't have the right threads. It would be nice if it was more standardized.

[@brootheboomer]

Make sure to take your tool rest off when your sanding for safety.

[@rogermcpherson3996]

since you ripped the stock you should have ripped it to square dimension because it allows you place the tool rest closer which makes it safer. my main lathe is a delta witch has a 44 in. bed. by starting the stock square the longer the safer. i am 76 y.o. and have been using lathes about 66 years starting in my dads cabinet shop and also in the harris pine mills in the spangle furniture factory. i have set up a shop at the mission hospitals locations in both bangkok and phuket where we construct the counters. and nurses stations and furniture. if you have question and can reach me by email i will be happy to answer you

[@jcardwell3rd]

Watch some Carl Jacobs. Your tool rest is too high. Hold down on the back of the tool to prepare for catch. You may end up with a tool through that window lol.

[@navajofox1]

With the back of the tool held down, the cutting edge of the tool should be just below the center line of the piece you are turning. Lower your tool rest and set your gouge on the piece. You should be about 15 degrees lower in the back before the cutting tip takes any wood. With your rest high as it is, you will catch the edge and send it through the window or you. Your skew will work better at those angles also. Good luck!!

[@dbwesner9229]

I just picked up a Shop Smith Mark 5 for the lathe feature, lathes are fun for sure. Congrats.

[@carrichard]

YOU LEARN BY EXPERIENCE, BUT ONE THING--DONT BE MAKING CHIPS BY DOING IT SO CLOSE TO YOUR WOOD BURNER. You don't want to start a fire in your shop.

[@outcast1871]

Is that lathe going in the giveaway toolbox?

[@HBButler01]

Outcast XD

[@normanmiers9129]

Outcast jet

[@robertward2286]

Froe is going to be nice. Great tool to have they are also good to make kindling. Good job

[@rickmaudlin2160]

Can't believe the MONSTER LATHES we learned on back in Junior High woodshop in the 70's ... and ONLY ONE kid lost the tip of his finger. Too bad kids don't have those opportunities today. What were awesome wood and metal shops in the that same school today are now "Computer Labs" ... Bah Humbug !

[@alecwhatshisname5170]

yeah bro I know what you mean. I used to love it when people lost their fingertips making useless junk. my school doesn't have a metalworking class, but most people don't metalwork now. look around in your house. is there a welder, forge, anvil, or bellows? no? how about a computer, smartphone, radio, TV, or even microwave? yes? now you know why those shops are being phased out. Schools teach things which will help people out in real life. while I believe that those metalworking skills are not completely useless, I also know I have never, in my 16 years on this earth, even seen a blacksmith or a forge. I have however built my own PC, and made a few basic programs. I use my computer skills every day. seeing how you are bitching and moaning about how terrible today's schools are for teaching useless skills, I would guess that you don't even know what an OS does and how one works. Honestly, if you don't like what schools are doing now, get a job as a superintendent and change it. If you don't feel like it, quit complaining.

[@rickmaudlin2160]

Well Alec, Perhaps my "Bah Humbug" comment was too strong as it obviously stirred you up. My point is about giving young people a variety of opportunities and exposure to different skill sets that may better match their aptitude and career interest. Not everyone will be as gifted or interested in computer technology as you are. There is actually a significant shortage of young, skilled workers in the trades. I own a communications technology firm that also does custom metal and some wood fabrication for our projects. So yes, we do have all of those tools (less a forge and billows). It is much more difficult for me to find a skilled welder or fabricator than it is someone to work IT, and the welder and installers make more money than many working IT. Oh and by the way, the kid who lost his finger tip went on to be a very successful jewelry designer and sculptor. He liked working with his hands and he was able to develop those skills in school. I don't think I would do well as school superintendent but I do offer internships for young people looking for the experience. Best wishes in your education and career.

[@patrice8257]

Rick Maudlin I agree with you Rick, I have to sons one does know what "OS" means and the other one knows the shop outside. Schools should have both. I have met people book smart out the Ying yang but common sense ahhhh NO lol oh and just for giggles BAH HUMBUG put that in your pipe....... :)

[@patrice8257]

Rick Maudlin I think you triggered Ole Alex lol

[@smellyellow]

lighten up, Francis.

[@coldwe]

I have many hours in front of one of those jet lathes. I think your chisels are dull. If it is fine chip partials it's a sign of dull chisels. Sharp chisels will shoot out string like the silly string once it is round. Don't be afraid of it, it will only shoot a piece of wood out at speeding car speed and it usually throws it right at your chest or head.

[@micksully3553]

My grandpa has an old lathe that I'm interested in trying.... good job

[@Brand-eo8gv]

Love the Lathe work, super fun to watch!

[@FUNNYBOY12375]

cody you may want to switch the lath and miter saw so you dont risk braking that window

[@christopherlakey3327]

Love this Lathe video. I haven't used one in forever but it was one of my favorite tools in school. Make more Lathe videos! Thanks for the videos as always!

[@tylerjenkins91]

Do yourself a huge favor and buy a Jacobs chuck for drilling on the lathe. Need a jaw chuck to go with it as well

[@tylerjenkins91]

Also skews work better with the long point down short point up at around a 30-40* tilt

[@reapergrim84]

The lathe can be so fun to use, I would recommend a wood chuck. Nova makes a really great one on Amazon for 89 dollars. A good wood turner to check out would be Carl Jacobs on KZbin, he makes great videos full of info and techniques about the lathe.

[@weldingwilly]

You should get a machinist aperon for when you work with the lathe and or tuck your shirt

[@ryancoakley]

My lathe is pretty much a drill press and an angle grinder

[@steveskouson9620]

Mine is a table saw, lathe, disc sander, and a vertical as well as horizontal drill-press. With a few additions, I can add bandsaw, jointer, jigsaw and drum sander. I've got the First edition, Shopsmith 10ER. That is a LOT of cast iron, guys. steve

[@ryancoakley]

Mine was cheaper ;)

[@AverageJoeShopTalk]

I've got a 10E I'm restoring! It certainly is a heavy beast. But it seems stable as all get out!

[@steveskouson9620]

The ER is better. I should know, 3 friends and brothers are running them, Oh ANYTHING that mounts on the 10 E. will mount on the 10ER. And, most of the later aluminum models. One more thing, my first ShopSmith, was a 10 E model. but the previous owner had updated it to a 10ER BEST multi-purpose machine available! (And, that applies to the current machines!) steve

[@AverageJoeShopTalk]

For sure! From the research I've done it seems that Magna produced the 10E (which stood for "E"xperimental) from late 1947 until early 1949, then revised the basic model into the 10ER ("E"xperimental "R"evised) which they manufactured until 1953. So, yes for sure the 10ER was equivalent to the 10E with the bugs worked out and more features & accessories. The basic machine is the same, so yes, all the accessories that were added to the 10ER will retrofit to the 10E. As for which is better, it sounds like you have much more experience with that than I. For me, mine is best because it's mine and nothing more objective than that (ha ha). I happened onto it, not expecting to come home with a wayward Shopsmith following me, one day when I stopped by a moving sale & met a fellow who was moving to Arizona & didn't want to carry the extra weight. He had a Mark 7 that he used fomr most everything and only used the 10E as a dedicated horizontal drill press. I STOLE the thing from him for $50!!! It's in good shape for a nearly 70 year old tool, runs well and has absolutely no lateral play in the quill. I'm going through it & cleaning it well, and will give it a fresh coat of battleship gray & put it to service in the shop. I'm super impressed by the over-engineering of the thing. It's built like it was made to go to war - and make it back home in one piece! Solid, well thought out, and well executed - and as you said, built to outlive newer tools. I have the attachments for the table saw, disc sander, and lathe, as well as a few mystery bits and 3 Jacobs chucks that came along with it. I consider myself extremely lucky to have a Shopsmith at all, as I never thought I'd be able to find one I could afford. This one fell into my lap. Happy turning! God bless!

[@FilmorYT]

So strange, I just set up an old wood lathe last week and used it for the first time. Super scary at first!

[@survivalmentor4168]

Lower your tool rest so it sits just below half the thickness of the wood. Keep your tool even and don't angle it down. I just don't want the next video to be "Wrangler Star visits hospital."

[@BillKibby1]

Welcome to the tool that invented the term "Rabbit Hole"! I also turn next to a window, seems inspiring, but you may want a steel grate between the wood and the glass because stuff happens, usually faster than you can react! Too, put on a good face shield and add a dust mask when sanding. You're standing there with your nose about a foot from a cloud generator. You and Jack have fun with that!

[@Glens1965]

Loved this vid. Good job W. Family.

[@ekevanleeuwen8964]

You have a very special ww2 Jotul 118 stove from norway.......

[@tanjdtan5374]

you should get some lathe calipers so you can measure your diameters on your pieces

i ordered a set from Steratt today,

[@mw-dc1by]

I always wanted to try a lathe.

[@rhysgarton3631]

If those froes were already heat treated (hardened and tempered) won't heating them up to 500f damage the temper of the steel

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Very nice for a first turn. how about a diamond pattern on a handle?. Those froe's are classic would love to rive out the ash log's I have brought home.

[@radbot1]

My dad built his own lathe once using a washing machine motor to drive it and no speed control. Ended up with the tool sticking a few inches out through the roof of his shed! Your jet is unbelievably quiet and smooth.

[@mattsmith5936]

When working a lathe I was always taught to put my hand on the handle palm down just in case it grab and swings it up and clonks you under the chin! Just a tip I learnt to save the ole gnashers!

[@vgullotta]

I just finished restoring an old Delta Homecraft lathe and just ordered myself my first set of lathe tools. Very excited to try it out!

[@doghawkhunter]

Vinny Gullotta, I just got my wife's grandpa's late 1930s Delta Double Duty 9" lathe up and running. It has a 1/2 spindle with a flat. That was the. Most frustrating part. I had to have my brother-in-law make a custom adapter on his lathe so I could attach a chuck. Now that it is set up, all I want to do is make square things round! Keep your tools sharp!

[@kevinmccollum4413]

What model # is that lathe? Did you purchase the stand separately?

[@TheMrKrause]

If you would not have told everybody would it have been a private jet? Seriously though... we have these in our school shop. They are nice.

[@lancemichaelson4865]

Great work

[@dennisbuckner6957]

Wranglerstar yep they are lovely little machine ..you might also like like watching some turners that i enjoy try as aforementioned Carl Jacob, Wyoming woodturner or my favorite Captain Eddy these guys have lots of good habits and some really good tips that make turning even more fun cheers from NZ

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Take this piece of advice Cody, buy the extention bed, do it right away, the extra lenght is great for lot of things, but it also adds weight too. Please buy and read "Woodturning: A Foundation Course Paperback by Keith Rowley" That is a good little lathe.

[@edwardscott9200]

The last thing I baked in my oven was a set of Trailer Rims that were painted with a 2 part polyurethane paint system. They turned out great! Oh ya, I'm a single guy so that could explain a few things.

[@alexandredesseroit265]

hi cody i just had a question in regards to the bees wax. to prefix this i have started restoring axes and curently working on a quite pited plumb so i had to remove all the rust but i had to reprofile itbecause of the pitting. so since i do not have a finish on the axe head should i use the bees wax like you showed in the video?

[@ZmbiBglz]

i enjoy the voice over.

[@nelsitorocks]

Frank howarth is a great woodworker who dose a lot of stuff on the lathe. He also has a really great way of filming and everyone of his videos are just great to watch

[@doghawkhunter]

nelsitorocks, his videos are pieces of art. As are a lot of the things he makes. Another Oregonian too.

[@autodidact9122]

I got a 33" harbor freight lathe several years ago for under $300 with the 20% off coupon. I turn bowls up to 12" in diameter, candle sticks and chess pieces on it. Great investment for few dollars. You will want to bolt it to the floor and I keep 3 50 lbs. bags of sacrete on mine to keep the frame from swaying.

[@Wrangler98JPTJ]

Love Liam Hoffmans craftsmanship! hope you love his ax! Have you eve seen any "Essential Craftsman" videos? He is a local Oregonian who dabbles in blacksmithing and has a pretty great startup channel. Nice Jet by the way!

[@rickwalker9265]

My Rikon Lathe was 1 of the first big pieces of powered shop equipment I bought. It's utterly indispensable I can make due without a band saw or table saw or even a drill press but the lathe is hard to replace. It doesn't hurt that it is very relaxing to turn a bowl or pen or handle of some sort. Huge thumbs up from me and another great video.

[@robertlunsford1350]

That is a great little lathe. You will have a great time with it.Get yourself a nice 4 jaw wood chuck and you will be making bowls in no time.

[@goodboyringo9716]

2021 you don't get this type of stand . The stand you they sell cost 305.00 + the extension stand is another 150.00, then another 280.00 for the bed extension. This Lathe in 2021 cost 1040.00 + the extension = 1775.00 better to buy a better lathe or only use this lathe without the extension.

[@tommeraas]

is that wood stove a jøtul f118 in the background, the one with a inscription over the door? do they translate it for the english speeking market?

Very nice lathe... I have the Excelsior mini lathe, but that one is much better :)

[@DS-jk5zr]

[@JosephDAndrea0121]

As far as I have researched the first tools we would recognize as a lathe date back to the ancient Egyptians. The work stood vertically and was spun with a rope similar to how you would use a rope and stick to start a fire.

[@emailaaron86]

I LOVE WOOD TURNING! glad this is a part of your channel now :) cheers

[@Mopardude]

I bought the same lathe a few months back been a pretty good lathe so far. My only complaint is the cheap on off switch, I have to jiggle mine for it to make contact. I for see me modding it soon to a better quality switch.

[@TheKrazyinjun]

You're turning into a jack of all woodworking trades, if that's such a thing.

[@GlenRickerd]

Last time I did any wood lathe work was junior high wood shop. Still have the bowl I turned. It WAS a lot of fun!

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

don't over think it, make more than 1 handle if you want thats the joy of having your own lathe.I bet it won't be long before you get a bigger lathe.they are so much fun

[@frodehau]

Is the handle for the tailstock lock supposed to be on the back?

[@evanwells6284]

Frode Haugsgjerd yes

[@jimfrozen521]

Congrats

[@Homeengineering]

Was the forged froe heat treated by the maker, wouldn't sticking it in the oven at 500 deg damage the temper of the blade.

[@bloodyl_uk]

I could feel how comfortable you are becoming around the lathe and the positive feedback it creates. The Froe is looking good, I was wondering why you didn't "axe handle" it until the end where you say you intend to knock the handle out and store it flat, I'd split and wedge it if it was intended to stay put. See you in the next videos comments. :)

[@sunnysunnysunny3186]

hi you just take the rod measurement but why not take the metal part from inside to get exact number instead of go and bake to the machine

[@sparkylopez565]

I don't understand why people won't hit the like button unless you ask them to. You do a good job and I try to make sure I hit it to help you out.

[@DrRogB]

[@PuerinTheHunter]

Wow, I had never heard of froe before. Spent a good time googling throw, throe, row, roe until I saw one comment with the right spelling.

[@stevecorry2118]

Lots of luck with your Jet lathe. I have just purchased one as well. I turn pens and have done it for the last seven years, the last three on a Rikon. I then decided to buy a Jet on the recommendation from a friend. During the turning of the first few pens, I noticed that the head stock had backed off about 1/4 inch from the bed. There was a very annoying and concerning clicking which is in conflict with your silent lathe. The morse taper chewed the mandrell off at the beginning of the taper. I also noticed that the mandrel saver had come apart. The little handle on the tail stock wheel came off in my hand. I called Jet and was told to fix it. I am 82 years old, but I had to turn the beast on its side to try and see what was wrong with the headstock. I grasped the nuts and found that they had not been tightened at the factory, I unscrewed them with my fingers. I tried as best as I could to tighten the nuts. I ordered and paid for the complete assembly of the mandrel, mandrel saver and morse taper. The tail stock will not tighten on the bed and continues to move resulting in the work piece being loose on the mandrel. I miss my Rikon and wish that I had never seen this Jet. As I said, Lots of luck.

Cody, a few more words of warning. NEVER bring ANY cloth to the lathe! PERIOD! If a piece of paper catches, you'll rip it. If a piece of cloth catches, it will rip YOU! This applies to shirts having long sleeves, or not tucked in. Wear some face protection. That piece of wood can come out, or break up. Shrapnel coming your way. Watch the videos of wood turners, on KZbin. I've sent you some links. The most dangerous thing about using a lathe, is it is ADDICTIVE! Make sure you don't neglect your family! Oh, nothing more therapeutic than "Makin' Shavin's!" (Thank you captain Eddie!) steve

You should cut groove and center punch in end when turning. And put oil in end. That hold wood better better. I think its safer

I am a fellow wood turner! You should watch woodturningwithtim1 for excellent ideas and wood turning and how to turn well. I learned from him and have only been wood turning for a couple of months. P.S. Lower your tool rest about one centimeter for the best results. Keep on turning

Cody, come back in 2 months after you've had the lathe a while then do a review on it. you have a tendency to get those new toy goggles on and love everything new you get :p

[@leeparkinson4989]

I think we all need a JET!

Lee Parkinson If you use your Brian you don't need a Jet

No Nada if I only had a Brian...

William Hill did the smart thing. instead of blind brand loyalty he went right to the people who know all of them see all the problems and have no reason to lie.

Lee Parkinson i am glad to see people need me. lol Sorry had to say that being i am a Jett by name. I have a Jet table saw and i would not own anything else they are rugged and last forever.

Sorry to disagree but I've got a 1510mm Jet bandsaw and to tell the truth, it's rubbish. The upper wheel spindle was; no lie; 2mm short and had to be replaced before any proper adjustment could be made. Guide rails are so slack that it can't be used for accurate work and the heat block mounting threads tend to strip. In short the margin for error is so large it's only good for freehand shape cutting. Maybe in US the quality is better but here in UK I wouldn't touch another Jet with a 3.000m (about 10'0" ;-) barge pole.
