Dave Winters Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Here's my new toy. Not as sexy as the bikes, but if you're a woodworker you're sure to sprout a chubby. It's a Oneway 2436 woodturning lathe. 900 lbs. of quiet precision. o-3600 rpm in 1.5 seconds. Cody "Wingnut" Winters in there for scale.

fin Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Dave, VERY nice machine! Gotta love big heavy tools. Are you a wood guy by proffession or hobby? Do wood-work guys use DRO (Digital Read Out) on their lathes? So I suspect "Wingnut" will be precision ballanced when you get done with him?

Dave Winters Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Yeah, I'm a professional woodworker. I do all sorts of artsy-craftsy stuff- decorative bowls, framed mirrors, cutting boards, I like to mix it up a bit. No DRO on the lathe- It's variable speed, with a three step belt pulley, and the dial has a scale on it to give you your speed. So depending on the belt position the rpm's are 70-700/190-1900/305-3050. Full speed reverse. 3hp motor. Really a fun tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 ever make a pool cue?:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Winters Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 No. never turned any pool cues. I've done some weird stuff tho- Corian, Freindly Plastic, vegetebles, ice, bone, nuts, seed pods, cardboard, colored pencils, etc. Can't wait to carve- I just bought my 31st consecutive season's pass here at Steamboat. No front range deals here: early season rate: $899.00. ouch! Unrestricted though. Might be a good idea for a topic- "What's the most expensive season's pass?
