The thread has a protector on but I couldn't get it off. I didn't want to push it too hard in case it was a keyless chuck. It turns out I wasn't giving it enough beans! I'll look at the book as well. Thanks for the help!
Hello, new to turning and have acquired a Record DML 24X. I want to try and put the faceplate on to turn a bowl or two but can't work out how to do it. Any tips?
