Hi,
Can you help?
What i am trying to do is this...
I am an audio enthusiast.....to cut a long story short I want to make audio support cones with my lathe.
These are going to be roughly 15mm in dia x 8mm high (in new money), although the size/shape could very quite a bit.
To this end I ahve purchased a Charnwood w811 lathe, relatively inexpensively (by necessity).
I was trawling the net to try to find a wood holding chuck to hold the wood when I found some reasonably unfavourable comments regarding my machine.
So, whats the bottom line here?
Have I been sold a pup?
What are your recommendations...should I start again?
I would say I ahve been concerned about the speed (or lack of) of my production from the lathe and tools that came with it....standard Charnwood.
I am working with seasoned oak.
hope you can help!?
David
