Need more help, Just ask.

  • You should learn the names of the tools you are using. That lathe uses #2mt for all accessories in the tail stock and headstock. You do not mount a chuck on the spur center. You could get somebody hurt telling them to do that.

    Hello and thank you for the comments and help. Question, are you saying not to mount a chuck on the tail stock. I use a drill chuck on my tail stock all the time for drilling and forstner bits. my spur center comes out and my chuck slide in. I am able to use a chuck on either end.

  • Don't forget your dust masks. They are very important.

  • @MrLeonard55

    That funny, I never use one except when I'm painting. and I always have the sneezy problem after I lathe. Thank you for the great reminder.

  • what type of chuck is the black one at 2:00??

  • nice video got some ideas

  • Great video, very helpful and it gave me alot of ideas and info. I have been eye balling the Harbor Freight lathe. Love the file handles, great design...Thanks...Joe

  • Thanks, helpful information. So short summary level 1) the lathe, not too cheap ($200-250 is ok?) set of chisel tools. A solid bench(sewing machine cab seems great. and shaving stops. Face shield(Iwear glasses) lvl 2) self-centering head chuck, drill chuck for tail. would like to try pipes. lvl 3) calipers and head stock drill chuck. Can most drill chucks go head or tail? I got bandsaw , small drillpress, table saw and router w/stand. no grinder. but can use drill chuck for head. thanks gregg

  • I'm allergic to dust. Whenever i use the lathe or cut wood i usually have to use a dust mask.
