New lathe coming in??? Coronet Regent lathe 5months overview/ new announcement

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Nice lathe. In the USA it costs about $2600. My club has the Coronet Herald and it has the same screw tightening on the HS cover which is not user friendly compared to a nylon thumb screw or magnet. In the USA, the closest competitor lathe would be the Laguna 1836 which costs aboout $2900 but weighs 100 lbs (45 kilos) more but only has a 2 yr warranty. Look forward to seeing your new lathe.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Mike, I saw your older video with herald , I think it was in your club... Laguna is also nice lathe🤗 , this new one is smaller in size but quite good..... Much like your powermatic which is excellent lathe

I have just bought a new Regent record Power lathe, after watching your videos. Love it!!!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Congrats and enjoy your new lathe.,...☺️☺️

Great review Thomas, you right about the motor slow to after power is off, your work is classic. Always watch your videos.

Thank you very much 🤗

Hi Tomislav Slow Stopping can certainly be a problem,I’ve a Nova 1500 lathe,I bought it in 1980 and it came with a 3\4 hp motor and no reverse back then. I soon swapped the motor for a 2 hp motor that could be adjusted to run forward or reverse,I solved the slow stopping problem by turning and fitting a large wooden wheel to the outside of the spindle.I think it has eight speeds and is relatively easy to stop at any of the settings.I’ve used the lathe a lot over the years and now at eighty plus years old I turn every day,it has never had any issues and is still running on the original belt. I like many others really look forward to your videos and thank you for sharing your expertise and vast knowledge,thank you. Regards from NZ

Your setup sir sounds great.... 😀 Thank you for watching and support what I do 🤗 Wish you all the best... Greetings from Croatia

Very fair review. I'm really looking forward to seeing your new lathe. Exciting.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Brendan 😉

This is good information for the cornet as I have a CL3 at the moment, and was looking to purchase the cornet So thank you

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its a solid lathe, you will be happy to own one ,but if you do a lot of production work like I do then long stoping time can irritate a bit ... Best of luck sir.

[@jayscott306]

Record power hit a lot of sweet features with that model. I figured you'd be going bigger, soon. Congratulations on the new machine coming in.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Jay... Accually going smaller☺️ I'll explain why I said yes to this offer in unboxing video in few days☺️

[@jayscott306]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Yeah, so I'm just watching it, now. I felt a bit silly when I first saw it because I had not read your reply here. My comment was thinking the wrong direction. I should have known your practical nature. I have thoughts about it because it looks like my second choice for my 16 month old lathe. I'll share those thoughts in your new video.

[@stefancartmale8034]

Hi Tomislav. Did you get your slow stopping rectified? I have a 2hp grinder that I installed a VFD on. The VFD is completely programmable. I can adjust in the settings where the ramp up speed can be adjusted as well as the stopping speed. On my VFD, it is very simple to change the setting. I can make my grinder come to a dead stop immediately or with up to 16 seconds of run down before completely stopping. Hope this info helps as the Eaton inverter should have similar settings that can be changed.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

No unfourtually...... Record power didn't wanna say how to set it up and I didn't wanna mess with warranty.... It found great new home with begginer turner who don't mind that ☺️

Thank you, indeed have stayed up late to finish it as order wait😉... Thank you for watching 🤗

[@kennethcaine3402]

I'm surprised that people have such a problem because it takes too long for it to stop. That just shows that it is well made, the bearings are smooth meaning they have the right fit and there is nothing binding. To me that would be a good thing because if it turns so freely it should take less amps to run it. Great review.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Stoping time in this case doesn't have nothing to do with bearings, as its not spining freelly , the inverter and motor is stoping the spindle....that is why you can't stop spindle with your hands like for example dml320 lathe before this one.... Its simple as little adjust in inverter but Record power didn't wanna give away how to do it.... Anyhow its good lathe but not for me with that slow stoping time.....

[@kennethcaine3402]

@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I misunderstood and was thinking it was a mechanical thing. I enjoyed your review and I really liked the lathe the way it's made and everything. Thanks for sharing and correcting me I'll see you on the next video.

[@leftymcshea6876]

Well done review...I noticed when you first got the lathe how long the headstock took to stop. that would be a lil irksome when fine tuning a lid fit to a box or fitting an inlay to a mortise. All in all a very nice lathe. Thanks for the review. 👍

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, you notice well, especially on something like fitting a lid or jam chuck.... But nothing can be perfect I guess so 🤗

[@davidvetter8902]

Best of luck with the new lathe. Yes, it seems a backup lathe would be important to you and your shop in case any repairs might need to be done. Seems like you turn every day.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I turn every day for at least 4-5 hours, before it was more but now I'm stay home dad so a bit less time...thank you for watching 🤗

I have the exact same machine but with the outrigger. My only dislike is the emergency stop on and off constantly as you mentioned , and I had a stuck chuck and had to give it a tap and broke three indexing teeth . Other than that it is a stellar machine

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed its nice lathe.... Thank you for watching

[@MrKevincryan]

I actually have this Record Power lathe Tomislav. I am very left handed and the swivel head makes it possible for me to hollow bowls etc. I find it a very good, sturdy lathe, but I have to admit the time it takes to stop is a bit annoying. Thanks for the review.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

No problem,glad you enjoy regent,all in all its good lathe

[@deyyoung42]

Thanks for the review. In the (Southeast) USA, Highland Woodworking sells Record Power Coronet lathes. But I have to say, the slow stopping is a major issue and should be fixed.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I hope they will fix that although its not issue for mayority of turners just the ones that has a deadline to make stuff for customers as well as shot video etc😅

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much for comment and watching

[@0BAMiiN]

Hi Tomislav, I'm happy you're getting a new lathe but after watching the video and reading your comments I still have to wait for your explanation as to why exactly you're getting a smaller one again 😅 My biggest problem (and not because I'm a professional turner or anything close) with this lathe would also be the slow stopping time. I have a Midi Pro and it's taking like half the time your lathe takes to stop. That would bother me as well 😅 I'm looking forward to the presentation of the new one 🤗 Greetings ☺️

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, I'll try to make video tommorow and explain... nothing special as a reason but there is a point in it.... More in video 😊 P.s. its very close to midi pro.....😊

[@mickjulian7499]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I was going to guess a midi pro! I really like mine, can't believe I got so much lathe for the money.

[@MarklTucson]

Nice objective overview. My Rikon lathe has a similar irritating feature on the shut-off button. The button has a feature in which it stays in the off position until you push it to release it if you push the stop button too hard. I haven't seen the advantage of that feature and it often causes irritation when trying to restart the lathe.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed, some of those features are really weird and pointless, rikon and Record power share many parts as well... Thank you for watching 😀

[@lankisherjohn8262]

A wild guess that your new lathe is from KS / Stratos? I have the KS FU 180, which has the switch you mention to select how quickly it stops. Plus, stop start is one operation.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Correct sir, a bit smaller unit .... I'll explain why and how in unboxing video why I took smaller unit..... Those one push start and stop are great time savers and slower time to stop especially

[@lacoutardes]

Hi good review for this lathe. You can modify the magnetic brake time with programmation on VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) ask Record lathe how to change this variable parameter. I have a Sweet 16 from Robust lathe and when I have a heavy piece the magnetic brake turn off, it's too heavy for the motor to brake in the same laps time, so I change the VFD parameter to make double time to stop.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much, I think its also something simple as type something in inverter and I did ask Record power about that and they answer was they will have to check with there engineers and they they might help.... Thank you for your tip and support 🤗

[@lacoutardes]

You can check the manual instruction of your VDF with name and model on google, you will have instruction to enter in programmation mode and the brake & acceleretion parameter.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

@@lacoutardesits at the new owner and they did say it will affect warranty so better to wait for they solution.... My new lathe has a nice feature which I'll show in the video regards this...🤗

[@catamures1]

@@lacoutardes I recommended, what you say, a long time ago to Tom. Asking help from Record Power , waranty regarding, is good, but I think they are much on woodworking than automation.😁 How the heck can stopping time affect waranty ? I put a VFD on a motor for have full control on that motor. A very fast stop may affect a 50 kg piece if it's not fixed properly in the chuck, but is not the case on this lathe.. I think that, without electric braking the engine would stop faster( Tom said if he turn the power off from main switch, the lathe stop faster ) That is because the VFD is not controlling the motor anymore, just inertial force. An automation technician would solve it in a few minutes.

[@lacoutardes]

@@catamures1 I agree with you. Some lathe constructor include the brake parameter because a piece of 50 kg can't be stop like a 1 kg piece of wood. CORONET will lost some buyer like Tomislav because they mist something in the marketing, they don't listen serious woodturners. A+

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Interesting. I initially rejected the Regent because of the poor speed range (fastest to slowest in one gear) is quite low even when compared to other Record lathes. That's why I went for the KS Stratos 230 and I'm very pleased with it. I've never used the higher brake setting on the 230 though. Anyway, my guess is either a KS XL as you've had some KS gouges or because of the association with Mr Raffen, maybe Vicmarc. Either way, interesting times!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed,agreed... Stratos 230 or XL will probably be next one , but this is accually smaller lathe.....☺️ From ks.... Vicmark is still out of my reach but only for now😅
