ROLANDJAYS,thats exactly what im looking for! wish my rek o kut came with the shiny audax head that i see quite often on other peoples rek o kut posted sometimes on this forum. would need another mod to be able to lean back enough to emboss properly?due to economics i will probably end up embossing ...

Greetings all, i have Rek o kut challeger(well,still waiting for it to arrive!) that has the original astatic m41 head ,now ive yet to log on some hrs to test out its capabilities,but from reading about it in older posts,ive come to the conclusion that at one point in the future im gonna want to try...

Studiorp, couldnt download the manual ,but what do those values mean ? is that close to an SL 1200? or not even close? from what i read from posts here,it seems that the minimum would be to use an SL 1200/1210,but alot of people say its not really enough torque to cut. Im just thinking about embossi...

Studiorp,oh i love that Pierre Clement head,que bella! i would love something so stylish like that lathe,i imagine if there were Italiano lathe builds,the machinery would be even much more artistic looking! my french is not very good,especially reading,but its not for sale,o 0.00 ,que significa ,es ...

Studiorp,thanks so much for the link up,i have yet to work out a overhead scheme,just in the process of trying figuring out the embossing head,acquiring the parts,lots of reading,planning,baby steps! i really like the lathe you put together,especially the French design overhead,seems to be a rare th...
