Thanks Bobham. I feel a bit of a . now. I did indeed nip down to the European Woodwork show at Cressing today and spoke to a Record guy who explained about the grub screw. So, I fixed the problem earlier today. Hey, this woodwork show, they wanted to charge me to get in, £7.00. I said, "you...

Hi All, Sorry, I should have kept you guys up to date. Anyway, here's what happened: In essence, the horrendous noise was caused by the spindle drive pulley coming loose and chattering against the the key. The pulley is keyed onto the shaft and secured by a grub screw. In my opinion, it is all...

Hi Guys, It is interesting to hear from Ern, about his Nova DVR. I see the vertical alignment was out on his as well. It is not good enough on a lathe costing around £1700.00. Where is this precise laser alignment? My first 1624 was about 1mm out in the vertical, you could align it nearer than...

Hi Guys, thanks for the support. And Brendon, go for the Record bandsaw, I have the 300E and it is a really good machine. For the record, I have to state that I don't have a beef with Record Power, they are a good company and they have been concerned about me. No doubt they will sort out this...

Now, I guess by now that you are all sick of me and won't bother to read this, but I would like Technatool International to read it. Anyway, here is the update: The said Nova lathe was shipped back to Record Power, whereupon they examined it. They agreed that it was noisy and innacurate...

Well, my Nova lathe was collected today and is now en route to Record. Well, I have never believed that occasionally there is a bad anything made. If there is one, there will certainly be others. And, it turns out I am right. Here is a link to a you Tube video. This is a Nova DVR lathe. Noisy...

Just to update on the Nova front: Record agreed to take the lathe in for assessment. They seemed to have forgotton about just changing it as promised. Anyway, they wanted to drop a pallet, I was to somehow rope the lathe to it and a carrier would pick it up. No Way! Hey, this is still my...

Well, no news on the Record front. No phone calls. I had to go to work at 1pm, so maybe they rang whilst I was out. I got up this morning and thought, "to hell with it". I am losing interest, I really can't be bothered. In fact, I have not done any turning in over a week and have no desire to...

Hi Guys, Firstly, thanks for sorting out my picture link. Well, today I visited Elmers and spoke to Kevin, their lathe expert. I took my Supernava chuck with me. He seemed to think the chuck was OK and that the horendous rattling is being caused by the lathe vibrating. I tend to agree. As I...

Hi Guys, What a great bunch of guys you are. I never expected this response. I feel like I belong already. I reported the fault to Record on the next working day, after assembly. So they do know about the problem. Initially, they suspected the spur drive and sent me a replacement. No...

Hi, I am new to woodturning and new to this forum. I suppose that I've reached that age, y'know, garden sheds, wood, expensive machinery. So, I thought I would give woodturning a go. A decision that I now regret. I thought that I would buy a lathe, so I went for what I considered to be a good...
