Does anyone know if the Tormek leather honing wheels are compatible with Axminster bench grinders? Thanks

Thanks Richard, that’s a very detailed and helpful response. Am I correct in thinking I can buy different size jaws for the same Chuck? ie: could I buy a set of 35mm as for the Record chuck? Thanks

Hi, I have an Arundel J4 Senior with an M30x3.5 inbound headstock thread. I have been looking at this chuck and just wondered if they are any good? Record seem to get good reviews, but thought i would check with you guys first. Many thanks in advance...

I am looking to pick up a sharpening jig for bench grinder. The two I am looking at are the Tru-grind system and the Robert Sorby 447 Deluxe. I would be interested in peoples thoughts on the two jigs and which you would recommend. Many thanks

Thanks K. Very helpful

Thanks, I will check mine this evening, hopefully it is the same.

Thanks. Sounds like it would make more sense to by a chuck specifically for that side, especially as i plan to turn some large bowls. Or just use the bowl plate.

That is really helpful, thanks

thanks. Sorry if I am asking a lot of ‘obvious’ questions

Thanks Jacob, any suggestions on a suitable chuck? I looked at a Record one which I believe came with an adapter. It was being sold by a company called Yandles...

Morning all, I was wondering if anyone might be able to recommend a general purpose chuck for turning bowls and egg cups that would fit my Arundel J4 Senior? I think it has an inboard spindle thread of M30 x 3.5 and an outboard of M25 x 2.5. Can I get a chuck that will fit both threads? Also...

@Jacob @Phil Pascoe I made up an extended centre punch and both centres knocked out reasonably easily. Thanks for the advice. I have nearly finished cleaning up the metal work and will be moving on to the bench soon. Happy to post pictures if anyone is interested?

Amazing! Thanks Derek, I will drop you an email

Thanks Phil, I am digging out some steel rod to tap out the drive centre and tail stock centre and wanted to look for roughly the correct size.

Thanks Jacob, this is all really helpful. Am I correct in assuming that the tailstock centre should also tap out?

Thanks, i will order it now

Excellent, I have found a paint match so plan to rub it down and repaint it as well. If the drive centre is the piece that connects with the wood, then yes that is what i mean. Afraid, i do not know all the correct terminology for the various parts yet. I need to find a labled diagram. Do you...

Thanks Jacob. Did you change your mind about the model? i thought you put that you thought it was a Junior. Thanks for the advice, i will have a look at that this evening. Am i correct in thinking that the chuck just slots in? Is there any retaining screw or anything?

Hello, i have recently been given what i believe is an Arundel J4 Senior. Although it is fully working order, it is in need of some TLC as you will see from the attached pictures. I am sure i will have plenty of questions as i complete the restoration, but first off; please can someone tell me...

Morning everyone Many thanks for letting me join the community. I am a hobby carpenter, and enjoy making everything from candle sticks, green woodwork, spoons, DIY projects and even built my workshop. I have just been given an Arundel J4 Senior wood lathe to help me develop my woodturning. But...
