how do they work together? i emailed kelton and they told me that it
would work ok but the motor might be a little weak. now that i have the
coring system i figured out that the knife support that is meant to go
into my banjo has a too wide diameter shank to fit in the banjo. is
there some way to solve thisproblem? should i make the shank thinner?
should i get a new banjo? if so which banjos work best for the record
cl3?
thanx

I think that this translates to the post on the tool rest is too big in
diameter to fit into the banjo. Correct? A good machinest should be
able to fix it. I am not familiar with the record lathe, but if you
have a 1 horse motor, it will handle the coring system without too much
trouble. It will handle the small set of knives easily. The medium set
will also work, but you can't be very agressive. If you have different
speed ranges, use the lower range for more torque. The tool rest
doesn't fit on some 12 inch lathes. I have done a number of posts here
about the McNaughton coring system. If you have any more questions,
look them up and or let me know.
