I agree with avoiding the nutool, I had the clarke version of that lathe and it is fairly awkward to use and could even be offputting (tricky banjo). as others have said, join a club and use theirs to get an idea of the size/type that best suits you before investing. You may find you prefer pen...

After a few failed bids on the big auction site for a better dust extractor I was sat outside of my local pub chatting away when I happened to mention ducting and dust extraction to an old pal, He quickly piped up that he had one sat in the back of his barn that was in fairly good condition he...

The only way I can get 3 items to match is using photoshop, lovely turnings there :D

I think we can safely say that nobody has a clue here :D ..........yet

=D> good shout, I am a huge fan of making my own stuff. Nice work. Next project http://fwd4.me/0zV3 (will be made from my old not very good cole jaws stuff)

I think flamastork's have deeper notches than that

I have just fitted one of these along with another smaller record one with the rectangle bench dog (£30 for the pair at my local tat shop), I only wish I had read this guide before I started as it took me a long time with a lot of head scratching and seemed considerably harder than you made it...

I must admit that I too am an "Impetric" person myself and use whatever system to suit the job in hand, sometimes mixing and matching. I think that if they sold tape measures with one or the other then we wouldnt all be so confused all of the time. Having both on all of the measuring devices is...

thanks Jon, Phil , great ideas, will give em a go later when work subsides.

my long nose jaws seemed to come without numbers until I gave them a good clean and found that each one has an almost invisible punch mark on the bottom, one has a single dot, one has 2 dots etc.. very hard to spot but at least now they meet up properly when mounted. Cheap jaws with no...

Definately not a file, I did find a vague reference to Enduro multi tip tools from issue 40 of woodturning mag (but can't find a back issue that far back :) ) but I think it is so old now they have ceased to exist. I will give the diamond hone a try and also check the sorby scraper tips, I think...

Hi Phil, It is a carbide one (as I found out when I tried to touch it up on the grinder and found it barely polished the edge) :oops: I do have a diamond hone, al be it a very cheap and nasty one, flat over the top? Simon

Hi all, When we were at the Malvern meet up I purchased a round nosed scraper with replacable bit, the name on the handle is Enduro of Sweden but googling this in any form simply gets me a list of motorbikes (not surprisingly), I wonder if anyone can tell me if any of the other multi tip tools...

http://fwd4.me/0yo9 Thats a lot cheaper than Rutlands (Axminster), they also have a link to their 148 peice jig making kit on there too (although one review of the kit suggests that the threads are not metric?, I can't confirm that).

great looking bowl Paul, not sure my rescue will look so good.
