Oh and having the motor under the bed hasn’t caused me any problems nor did Rob before me.

Sorry. My friend. What chuck does my friend need.

You need a scroll chuck Mike, record sell an SC3 and SC4, I have the SC3 fitted to a little Jet lathe thogh a different spindle size and would certainly be big enough for newel caps or small bowls, you can usually get them new for not much over £100 but often come up s/h. There are a number of other makes and you can usually get adapters to make them fit your lathe, Axminster make their own version at £125 ish, if you're in no hurry just keep you eyes open on fleebay. Same for faceplates as long as the correct thread.
Maybe you should pass that info on to your friend.
EDIT: This type but double check your spindle size.

1 You know where my Workshop is, drive over and use my lathe.
2 Do some drawings of what needs turning, sort out some wood and drop them off and I will turn them. Hopefully the time frame is not to short.
Ten chairs, Dave, each with 2 turned legs, 2 spindles, 1 stretcher and 2 turned ears.....that's 70 turnings.

One of his early spindles went flying over his shoulder and into low earth orbit, so he's probably learnt to check for flaws before putting the wood onto a lathe. Apparently.
Return to Turning (Wood or any other material you fancy)
