Hi, I've had the coronet for a little over three years now, initially I was getting so many E2 codes and then the speed controller started fluctuating the sppeeds dramatically by itself. No hastle from RP and a new complete unit received, was ok for two and a half years but still suffered E2...

Is there such a thing as a "reasonably" quiet extractor? I need one for my small workshop. I have researched many types like camvac, workshop vacuums etc etc but none give a decibel factor and a continuous run time. I know many use sound proof boxes and the like, but heat build up is an obvious...

Job done and all is well, adjustment of the grub screws a complete success. I don't have a manual and the one I downloaded shows nothing re the pics and info you pointed out so well done to you with thanks :) Tony.

Well thank you chaps, although not attempting to adjust it you've helped me locate the grub screws on the base mounting! They're obviously there for a reason so I think you may have cracked it for me. I still have niggling doubts unfortunately, as I have shimed the trunion base with washers but...

As a beginner to woodturning as a hobby I find it strange as to why bowl gouges seem to at least twice the price of similar size spindle gouge, there must be some logic, can anyone explain what that might be? I'm tempted by the Ashley iles all rounder gouge that may be good for a beginner's...

Thank you Robbo, I suppose the record being a lighter will mean a little less weight on the bearings, cheers, Tony.

I have a new Record Power Coronet Herald lathe and am looking for a quality chuck to suit, could you advise as to which one to go for, there seems so many too choose from. Regards, Tony.

Thank you for responding Robbo, Yes I think your right re taking the course before emptying the coffers, regards, Tony,

Hello, I would like to take up woodturning as a hobby, I have enjoyed butchering wood for some years now and have a reasonable kit. I have studied many hours of videos, read a couple of books and visited a local club which I am about to join and take tutorial courses. My mind is set on turning...
