    Coronet No 1 back up and running

    Well, I ended up going for the Axminster K10 chuck, with type C dovetail jaws, and C type drive centre and a faceplate ring. All delivered to work today, I am itching to get home and mount it all up!

    Coronet No 1 back up and running

    Well, I haven't done any turning for nearly 20 years, and it was actually on this lathe when my grandfather was alive. Hence only using an engineering 4 jaw chuck as that is what is still on the lathe. I have a couple of rusty old faceplate's, but the live centre got lost so I also need to get...

    Coronet No 1 back up and running

    With regards to the Axminster chuck, what are the recommended jaws to get? I have never used a proper woodturners chuck, only an engineering chuck :lol:

    Mortar and Pestle

    Have a read of this http://www.fefpeb.org/wood-food/properties-of-wood/antibacterial-effect As you are planning on making a food preparation item, it would be wise to select a hardwood with good antibacterial properties IMO. (I used to work in retail in a food environment)

    Coronet No 1 back up and running

    Paul, I can only agree with your comment about Axminster being very helpful, I have bought a fair few bits from them in the past, and found them to be very helpful on the phone!

    Coronet No 1 back up and running

    Arhghhh, now I have to make a decision between the Dakota chuck (very keenly priced) and the Axminster (which seems to have more accessories). Decisions, decisions, decisions!

    Atrax,Electra & Triton pens

    They look lovely! I am just trying to work out exactly what I need to start pen turning, I have spent several days poring over the Axminster catalogue, but I am still somewhat confused as to the absolute minimum equipment required.

    Coronet No 1 back up and running

    I finally pulled my finger out and have got the Coronet No 1 I inherited from my late grandfather back up and running. It had been left in a somewhat damp garage, so it was rather rusty :o All rust removed, and steel parts treated with ACF50 :D The only thing wrong with it is the start...

    Hi from a Newbie

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, I have a lot of work ahead of me though. I have managed to track down someone with the correct colour paint, so that's a result right there!

    Hi from a Newbie

    Hi everyone. Just inherited my gramp's Coronet No 1, which has got into a bit of a sorry state unfortunately so it looks like a total strip, clean repaint and rebuild before I can start turning. I haven't done any turning for getting on for 20 years so this is going to be a real voyage of...

    FTAGH: Record Coronet No 1 Instruction Booklet

    Hi Pete Total newbie here, I found this site looking for a manual for a Coronet No 1. I just inherited my grandfather's No 1, and it needs a full restoration as the relative who kept it after gramp's death let it rot in a damp garage. Do you still have the manual, or a scan by any chance...
