Wood lathe setup and unboxing/ KILLINGER 1450 SE

[@SweeetJohnny]

Tomo, sockets are actually 230V, 220 was when we were young 😊 Congrats on new machine and continue with good work (and filming).

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you sir, 🤗 Its like sort of sleng to say 220v insted of 230😅

[@edwardkuhne2045]

"it ever happen to you that you're changing your shop layout a little bit and you came across stuff like this. and then you start to curse the one who made that job a lot harder than it should be, then you realise that was you actually." sadly a story I am all too familiar with! enjoy the new lathe mate!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you buddy🤗

[@justinfletcher7630]

I get almost as excited watching someone else open stuff like this as if I were

Thank you Will, stay safe

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Tomislav, That looks like a great machine, money well spent, I have a very old Wadkin RS8, with inverter drive, and Kontour 1500 SA , I wish you all the success for the future , And you soon be earning some extra pennies, or euros, or dollars, And look forward to seeing a new project being turned on it, stay safe, Phil from the moulin France .

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Phil, watkin is a beauty, thank you for watching

Hi Tomislav, I remember unboxing my Axminster 406 I was like a kid in a sweet factory, it’s lovely when it’s all put together and you finally can start to turn, happy turning mate.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you mate, its special feeling ecpecially when its something quallity like axminster or killinger 😀

[@isaacfisher5615]

Thanks for all your great videos! Here’s a little start for your bed extension fund, or maybe just for some holiday fun

[@tomjordan3326]

Congratulations Tommy She’s sweet 👍

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thanks 🤗

[@reinholdege4938]

congratulations ! I bought my dreamlathe 1991 also from Steiner. It has some features in common with your lathe. 2 horsepowers, distance between centers, hight over bed. But no electronical device, just 3 mechanical speeds and a two-speed 3 phase motor. Last summer I had to chance the bearings for the first time. And I did get very good advice from Steiner as how to change the bearings, step by step. With Steiner you are truely in the best hands.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Indeed, 33 years thats awsome.... STEINERT brothers are great

[@jorisdemoel3821]

As happy as a grown man in his workshop with his precision machined wood turning lathe. Congratulations! Also instructive on how to set a lathe up.

Good evening Tomislav from Tennessee USA. I "stumbled" onto your channel a few hours ago and have enjoyed several of your videos and liked each and everyone of them. I feel your joy with the new lathe...I'm on my 3rd now which is a gently used Jet 1642. Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and I will see you in the next video.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you very much for watching my videos and support what I do....1642 was on shortlist but was little expensive to buy here in Europe, but I love that lathe ... Hopefully I'll visit United States one day... Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@waynenickoleff9041]

Hi Tomislav, congratulations on getting your dream machine! We can see the excitement in your actions and hear it in your voice, very happy for you and looking forward to what you will create👍 I started turning when I retired 2 ½ years ago on an old 1954 Canadian 10” Beaver great little lathe. I saw a deal that I couldn’t pass up on an 1980 18” Canadian General sitting in a barn, I brought it home and cleaned it up, put new bearings in it and converted it to VFD my dream was fulfilled. Still learning and it is the most rewarding hobby for me. Take care, Wayne

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Awsome Wayne, that sounds like great find, I've seen on several videos general lathes,they look like extremely well build machines.... Thank you very much for watching and support

Good morning. Congratulations on your new lathe. I’m really happy for you. And in answer to your question about rearranging the shop and things happen, yes. It’s happened to me too. I have a Laguna midi lathe. I was very excited when it was delivered. I can relate to how happy you are. Your shop looks great. I hope you have a great day today. I’m heading to the local sawmill later this morning. I need some new wood to turn. Thinking about getting some African mahogany. Not sure yet. Enjoy your new lathe.

Congratulations Tomislav on your new lathe - it looks a beauty! In due course it would be great to see you demonstrate how to use the outboard turning function.

Hello Tomislav....great video. I followed along with shared excitement for your new lathe. But watching your skill on turning that bowl was equally excellent. I turn bowls on my old Rockwell/Beaver lathe( that I converted to variable speed),but what you do in minutes takes me much longer. Thanks-- looking forward to seeing new videos with your new lathe.

More Merry Christmas! Good on Steinart for the discount. Seems to be an excellent company. And thank you for sharing the unveiling and christening of what looks to be a workhorse of a machine. I think we all share your excitement. And I will tell you, my (1993) Vicmarc VL300 doesn't have registration marks! Of course, there's an easy workaround for this. And speaking of such, your new controller can almost certainly be adjusted for fast and slow stops. You still want slow for the big chunks to avoid them spinning off. Merry Christmas from South Carolina US. Greg

Tomislav, You are a blessed guy. What a beautiful lathe and this is a great video of it. I had a Stratos CO 230 lathe that I recently sold due to health problems. Really regret it now since I am much better. This one seems like a step up from the Stratos and like you said, a dream lathe. I am in the USA and I will be investigating availability here. I hope they have service here if they sell in the US. Although I did not have any problems with the Stratos, service became unavailable. Thanks for a great review.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Sorry to hear about your health, hope its all ok now? I think Steinert company send worldwide so send them email, say you saw it in my videos and they can probably sort something out.... Not sure about service however Steinert has great customer service so if ever something happens you should be covered.... But check with them ofcourse about all the details

I started turning at Xmas my Mrs bought me a bench top midi lathe,adjustable speed which got me hooked .I have already thinking of upgrading as the1/2 horse power motor struggles cutting bowls which I have fallen in love with.

I used to have a 750w lather but got frustrated a few times when I pushed it too hard. I now have a 1500w (2hp), That has the turning capacity and power to meet my needs. I'm sure it will be the lathe that lasts my life time

Enhorabuena!!! una fantástica adquisición. Solo al alcance de los profesionales o de los que les sobre el dinero😂😂.

Томислав поздравляю 😊 Искренне желаю вас счастья

[@robohippy]

Well, never heard of this lathe, and never had a chance to play on one. One thing I like is the 3 speed ranges, rather than 2. The mid speed range goes high enough for smaller bowls, and slow enough to core with. With a 2 speed lathe, they tend to not like coring in the high speed range. I do prefer slower minimum speed, like 10 to 15 rpm. The reason for that is that I like once turned bowls from sloppy wet wood. I let them dry and warp, then sand them out. I need that very slow speed so I can power sand with the lathe spinning. Most of the lathes over here turn off at 50 to 100 rpm. I asked one tech about it and he told me that if I ran my lathe that slow I would fry the electronics and ruin my lathe. I told him that I had sanded out thousands of bowls at that speed and never had any problems. He again repeated his first statement. I did get an American Beauty from Robust, and got the same concerns from the owner. He walked me through the steps to get the speed down so I could sand my warped bowls. He cautioned me about the heat issue. I found out my lathe ran cooler when I was sanding than it did when I was turning. I do make my lathe work when I turn bowls. I am a big fan of the pivoting headstock with my Vicmark 240, and the sliding headstock on my AB. It allows me to slide the headstock down or pivot it so I can stand up straight to turn. People that turn on long bed lathes use some what different mechanics than those who turn on short bed lathes. It just works better for me. One concern I have with the sliding headstocks is the pressure plate on the bottom of the headstock. My first sliding headstock lathe was a PM 3520A and it had a cast iron pressure plate which broke when coring some black locust. They replaced that with a steel plate that was about 4 by 6 inches, which is sufficient. My American Beauty has a plate that is the same size as the base of the headstock. Probably more than it needs. I saw one lathe, 24 inch diameter capacity that had the same plate on the headstock as there was on the banjo and tailstock. Not good. Hope you have a big plate on yours. Have fun with your new lathe!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Hi, thank you for watching 🤗 , I honestly haven't checked, will do now, I think its bigger then banjo😅 American beauty is a beast and lovely lathe
