Nice lathe Rusty ! Definitely beefy. That swivel feature on the headstock is very cool.

Holy cow that's a lathe! I am not familiar with the brand, but it sure looks like a heavy and well put together machine!

Its a brand that's quite commonly sold in the UK @John Morris  I had to look it up myself.  The company I do believe is based out of England.

Thanks. I have seen quite a few of this brand in YouTube videos I watch. I was a little worried at first but this had all of the features I was looking for. Everybody on YouTube seemed to like them so I went for it. I am very happy so far. Fit and finish is very nice. The headstock, banjo and tail stock all lock up very tight with little effort. Plenty of power with the 2 HP motor and it is very quiet. The rotating headstock can be locked in any position. That makes turning the inside of bowls a lot easier for me. I made this bowl today.

When using a scraper the flat top of the tool needs to be pointed down hill to prevent a catch.  The further over the tool rest the tool is the more likely a catch.  Starting at 5:10 Sam shows proper presentation of the tool for bowl turning.

 

 

Thanks Dan. That video helped a lot. I made a bowl today and used the round carbide on the inside to smooth it out. I raised the rest above center and angled the tool more and everything went smooth. Never came close to a catch.

That turned a beautiful bowl Rusty.

Beautiful bowl and a bitchin lathe Rusty. I don’t know how long Record Power has been around but it has been a long time. I have a scraper stamped with their name on it that was handed down from my father and I’m not sure he was the original owner.
