    I just bought one of those. After some research including watching this video, I decided that it was a good upgrade from my mini-lathe that I have been using for about 3 years. Very happy with it so far - very stable and quiet. I didn't get the legs, but placed it on a solid table (which I had made). I still haven't bolted the lathe to the table, and I am having no problems (I haven't turned unbalanced logs yet).
    The only disappointment so far is that the tailstock doesn't have self-extracting feature. I wanted to remove the live center today - what a pain. The knockout bar they provide is stupid - it has a bent end so it's hard to give it a knock with a mallet (don't look for the one you lost, John). After I managed to knock out the live center, the knockout bar got stuck in the hollow spindle. Grrr.

    • @JohnClothier
      @JohnClothier  5 років тому

      Im glad you are enjoying your purchase. Yes I agree on the tailstock and I have fed that back to the manufacturer. I did fine mine in the end but never use It as a knock out bar. I would recommend to make one yourself.

    • @ozziemale202
      @ozziemale202 5 років тому +1

      @@JohnClothier I finally found the knockout bar from my old lathe, and it's doing the job, better than the bar supplied with the Coronet Herald. I think that if I knew that it doesn't have a self extracting tailstock I would have bought another lathe. Maybe most people use this feature rarely, but I need it quite regularly. I change between the standard live centre, a bull nose live centre and a Jacobs chuck a couple of times a week.
      A month on, I can say that I love the lathe but hate the tailstock. I left a review on Record Power's Web site saying that,. As expected, my review didn't get posted.

    @mikeoneill5456 4 роки тому +1

    Great review, John - I found it just after I'd actually bought the lathe so I'm pleased to confirm that I have made a really good buy. One thing I think you may have got wrong in the review is that you've implied that pressing the 'pulley' button on the controller changes the pulley in use but in fact it doesn't. I can't find anything about it in the manual, but as far as I can tell the button is there only so that you can select an indicator of which pulley you're using. The speed range shown changes, but the chosen pulley doesn't. Apart from that though, I entirely agree with everything you've said - a great machine at a good price.

    • @JohnClothier
      @JohnClothier  4 роки тому

    Hi Mr. Clothier... I expect your pleased with that...and your right about iron...there's no substitute for weight and you'll notice this when turning things that are out of square/balance etc....
    One thing I'd like you to do with this though:
    Get a can of light spray oil and give the bed, headstock & tailstock a oil spray before using the airbrush on work mounted in it...
    Any over spray from the airbrush should just wipe off easily then...😉

    • @JohnClothier

    Hi John, I am German and was looking for reviews of the Coronet Herald but found almost nothing. I have a small lathe on a table. I want to turn larger bowls and vases and am looking for something bigger. I'm afraid the Herald will vibrate a lot when turning large pieces overhead because of its low weight. Can you confirm this or is my fear unfounded? I first thought of a Stratos XL but the price is enormous for a hobby turner who occasionally turns something nice. Can you recommend the herald or should I choose a heavy machine? Greetings and thank you.

    • @JohnClothier
      @JohnClothier  2 роки тому

      It is a small lathe and that does need to be considered but I have turned some heavy wood on it and it has been ok. you just have to take it slow to start. It all really comes down to money. I doubt you will find a machine as capable for the money. if you can afford more though you will get better

    @icespeckledhens 4 роки тому +1

    I bought Ccoronet at Harrogate last year but I have only just assembled it, as I had a leak in the roof. There are three things, one it definitely needs the bed extension, two, the handwheel, on the headstock, comes loose if I am rotating it clockwise to put a chuck on but is fine when taking a chuck off, which is effectively tightening the handwheel. Third, I have been unable to change belts because, although opening the door to the belts and loosening the motor tension lever, the motor does not move.
    Any ideas.
    Thanks
    James

    • @JohnClothier
      @JohnClothier  4 роки тому +1

      Hi James. Yea a bed extension is very useful for this lathe. I mostly use it to slide the tail stock out of the way rather than actually turning longer items. With the motor have you done the bottom bolt up to much? It should move pretty easy. I believe there is a grub screw on the hand wheel but I could be wrong. It should come undone that's for sure! Maybe worth dropping record a message about it

    Hi, whats the overall length? Im not sure how are they measuring it, but according to Record Power its 870mm which can not be right, coz you said the bed is 810 mm an then the motor and electronic control is clearly longer than 60mm. It would look like overall length is over 1000mm? Im I CLOSE?

    • @JohnClothier
      @JohnClothier  4 роки тому +1

      The bed is 810mm. The motor sticks out 260mm when at the far end. I believe when they quote the 1000mm then are talking about the legs. The legs are at a flared angle so are about 1000mm apart. It needs a footprint of 1000mm but you will need a little more to the left for the motor to maximise on the bed. Hope that helps

    • @JohnClothier
      @JohnClothier  3 роки тому

      Hi thanks. you would need to get an adapter. You will be best off speaking to record directly. They can make sure you get the right fitting. To be honest It is very sturdy As good if not better than any other lathe at that size. Remember that it is not bolted down just sat under its own weight. It is also designed to be portable so if you can lift it you can move it. I have turned 20" wood on it and I have also put a huge whole log on it. Both taking the size to its maximum and it was fine. The only time I have had it move is with a really out of balance piece of wood but you would get that with most lathes. I have seen a few Clarke lathes and none are as well made as the herald.

    Have you tried mounting a bowl on on to a wormscrew with the Herald, Recordpower told me that I only need to hand tighten a chuck on to the spindle but when I attempt to wind a blank onto the wormscrew, I need to lock the spindle and that simply unwinds the left hand threaded handwheel and it cannot be done. The only way I can do it is to put the chuck into a vice and then wind on the blank.
    Thanks

      @@JohnClothier Thanks for the answer, the manual says not to use the index lock for chucks or faceplates and I mentioned this to Recordpower when I brought up the problem of winding on bowl blanks and they told me not to use the index lock because you will damage it. They don't, at the moment, accept there is a problem but I will pursue it with them. It's a pity because otherwise it's a nice lathe. At the moment I wind the blank onto the chuck in a vice .

      James .Pritchard yes they have said that. Personally I don’t agree with them. It’s what I do and I have never had an issue. I’ve had my chuck stuck on the lathe before and needed a mallet to get it off. I’ve used the index lock and it was fine.

    Hi, I currently have a Nova Comet II mini lathe, it struggles with 10" bowl blanks when turning at about 800 rpm, do you find this lathe hard to stall ?, This was a great review, But may i ask, how the lathe comes, when i brought my Nova it came almost complete just the handle on the spindle needed to be fitted and tail stock wheel, i have looked at the record Cl4 and that comes in loads of bits!

    Hi John, Greetings from down under!! I want to ask if you have any further opinions of your new lathe 2 months in. Are there any things about it that bother you. I am in the market for my first lathe and this one looks like it might fit the bill. My only concern is the weight and the stand/legs... is it sturdy enough? cheers Gary.. PS keep up the good work!!

    • @JohnClothier
      @JohnClothier  6 років тому

      Hi Gary. Is there anything that concerns me or are there things I would change? There are certainly things that I would like to be improved upon but I am sure that people can say that about any lathe. This really comes down to personal preference vs available budget etc. If money was no object then this is not the lathe I would choose. The reason for this is by spending £5000 on a lather I would get the things that I would like to be changed. But this is not a £5000 lather it is a £1000 lathe. I have done hollowing, 20" outboard out of balance turning and all absolutely fine. As a first lathe it is absolutely ideal. It is reasonably priced and sets you up to do almost everything you would want to, not only as a beginner but as an intermediate too. So as to is there anything that concerns me? The stand is fine, the weight is fine, yes it is sturdy. The only thing that I think really should be there is a remote control to switch it on and off. Reaching around a 20" piece when outboard you do have to be a little careful and mindful of where things are. I have no hesitation in recommending this lathe to anyone that is just starting out, an intermediate or looking to move to the next level from a midi lathe etc. The reason I bought this lathe was because for the price point that I could afford it was the only one that gave me variable speed, cast iron bed, outboard turning, etc.

      Hi Mike. It's a cracking lathe. I am sure you wont regret your purchase! The emf filter block is there because of regulations about interfering with things such as TVs.

      Thank you for commenting Jim. I am sorry that this is how you feel, it certainly was never the intention. This video was specifically aimed at providing information on the lathe and was released outside of my usual project schedule and with an unboxing icon in the thumbnail to try and help people who may not have been interested to know this video was not for them. When I had mentioned the new lathe to people within the community many people asked if I would do this video as they were keen to find out more about it prior to making a purchase themselves. I will be back to turning this weekend and producing more turning project videos. I do have some resin projects cued up that hopefully will be of interest. Once again I am sorry that you felt that I was just showing off a new toy, it really was meant as unbiased information for others that may be considering the purchase. Thank you for supporting my channel
