comp56 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 call me old school but I like the older tools when it comes to certain tools...picked this guy up tonight from a retiring wood worker that had it from brand new and took care of it. he upgraded the drive belt to a power twist link belt and seems to make it run a lot quieter than stock. I realize the reeves pulley system is not the best but it also has a lot to do with the user. for now and for what I might do this will do just fine.

DamianD Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Very cool. My neighbor is HUGE into turning wood. He has like 3 lathes in his garage and makes some really cool stuff, mostly bowls. He offered to teach me a little, I need to take advantage of that.

ChrisK Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Nice Comp! I'm taking a pretty long class that's going to teach me bowl and plate turning and I've been buying tools all along. Very addictive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 You can fit a table saw in your basement workshop? That seems to the the problem with most basement workshops is the space. That's why I kind of want a Track Saw, but they are so darn expensive. Well the problem is I really want a TS55req Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Man comp ur building the ultimate shop with all these new cool tools!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 ya I have a 10x10ish foot area for it and a ground level private entrance so bringing in sheets is not to big of a deal. my shop is big it is just broke up in a U shape.the only restriction I have is to remember to never build anything larger than 32" square or I can't get it out the door. when I build a poker table 8 or even 9 foot long I'm ok because the base or legs are taken off an are never taller than 30" sure I'm limited but I don't plan on building much large stuff and if I do I will make it so it can be assembled later......
