Hi Roy I have the same lathe, had it about 2 weeks, all I've turned so far is a mallet and a fishing priest. Getting wood is a little difficult as I've never turned wood before. Great video.
Nice compact lathe, I like your stainless chuck too. Variable speed looks great. What hp is the motor. I like to half turn my bowl blanks then store them in a dry unheated shed for a couple of years. Not had a lot of success with microwaving larger bowls though.
How you getting on with the lathe mate ? Thinking of pulling the trigger on this sometime this week . Forgot to add where did you get the carbide chisels from ?
Was at the Axminster store today, thinking of buying this same lathe but was surprised when I was told that this lathe was rated at 2HRS USE PER WEEK! Any truth in this and have any users had any issues when using for longer periods?
Its good to see you back Roy. Enjoyed the vid and the wife loves the bowl. Its definitely got character.
Thanks Graham. Pick it up when you like 👍

Hi Roy

Hi there, not sure of the hp of the motor. It is a great lathe, but you seem a lot more professional than me. Thanks for watching.
May I ask which make of carbide chisels did you buy and wild you recommend them.thanks
Hi sorry I can't remember the make. But they are definitely worth buying.
How you getting on with the lathe mate ? Thinking of pulling the trigger on this sometime this week .

Yeah not too bad. Haven't used it for a while. Can remember where I got the chisels from.
Geezer..!!

I shouldn't think so. I've never had any issues with my lathe.
Will you make a video on your chucks?
Hi Frank. Probably not, I'm no expert 😉
Hi mate, is it still a good lathe to buy?
I would say yes.
