The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

thanks all!

Humidity sits at 50% here, doesn't move much here in sth Oz..

Groove depth, id have to check but not sure how to, as i’ve never had to!

Hi Lathers! I have purchased a 9cfm Vacuum pump (see photos) I have a 1" clear pipe travelling down to the swarf box (VR) and then the normal size to the lathe.. Intermittently it will not suck up the swarf and ball up on the diamond, making the discs into frisbees. I have since gone back to househo...

Hi mate, it's PETG, which is food safe, apparently!

I bought a bathroom heater lamp fitting and hang it from the ceiling with an adjustable (vertical) hook.. Its the best system because the heat is even over the disc ... I have posted something somewhere on this..

Cost me $10 at hardware store..

95% of customers want black discs mate!

Has anyone on here had any luck with Chinese PETG? I tried and it was noisy. Hard to deal with them too... Black was an issue too.. .

Yeah some of us aren't in the US... Aussie here mate!

I'll help you from Australia. We answer all emails with pride and good service. PM Me!

I bought a Victorinox knife sharpener and it works a treat! google it

thanks!

Send back to Souri. He will fix it for you.

Can't seem to find that?

Hey folks..

What's the best vacuum pump to get in Australia or close by? I have a VR...

I am currently using a house hold vacuum which has done fine, it is in another room, but want something quieter now...

Thanks!

Hey folks..

What pick up (monitoring) needles/cartridges do you use?

I am using a Shure White label. Can no longer get the authentic Shure tips, so will need to change. I always liked these pick up needles.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated....

Thanks for this!

When you say 'dynamic head' will this work with the default one from Souri?

Mine was posted to Australia. All good. If I could do it all again I would ditch most of the Souri equipment as it's not good.

Just the cutterhead and main mechanical parts. Leave the audio stuff and buy your own locally... and better quality!

Not sure about deposit. It’s a large machine but you should just buy the main parts, without his amp, mixer, and other hardware as you’ll replace them for better cuts.

So yes you should be able to take that in a padded suitcase. But take some bubble wrap too

How much are these? Fit on VR?

Any updates on this?
