Newbie questions
Hi Barry,
That should work fine. But Jet does offer a mini stand extender for that lathe. Here is a link to it. You will have to scroll almost to the bottom of the page to see it. http://www.hutproducts.com/jet9.html Best wishes, Dave David Peebles Lyons, Ohio Revolutions Woodturning www.bowlturner.com "B A R R Y" wrote in message ... Esteemed wood turners, I'm the "normal" woodworker who posted questions a few weeks back. You've answered them so well, I'll ask some more. G I bought the Jet mini, extension, and stand. After assembling it tonight, the lathe definitely does not fit the stand with the extension in place. Does anyone see any negatives of me building a heavy hardwood / MDF platform to mount the extended lathe to the stock stand? Any better ideas? My local library had Raffan's "Turning Wood" and Dunbar's "Wood Turning for Cabinet Makers". Dunbar's book seems to be exactly what I'm looking for at the moment, Raffia's book seems like a great reference spindle and foot turning. I still don't have any turning tools, as I've enrolled in a local turning class that starts 1/5. In class, I'll get to try all sorts of tools, which should help me decide which ones to buy first. However, I've messed around with bench chisels and some scrap mahogany squares I have laying around, and I think the bug is biting. Turning is so quiet, and it's amazing how a work piece develops! G Thanks for all the help so far! Barry |
