Record rmp 300 Lathe

Looking forward to it..
I actually have a lathe… bought it quite a few months ago… have yet to try my hand at turning though.

That looks like a great substantial lathe. Good luck on getting it all set up and making chips.

Well I’m happy for you Pommy!
Enjoy your first lathe and welcome to the slippery slope. <g>

It looks like a well built Lathe andy.

I have a set of lathe chisels by Record.

If their lathe is as good as their chisels, you’ve got a good one.

Nice little lathe. I sometimes wish mine was smaller. Most of what I do could be done on a smaller more stable lathe. (as long as it has good power)

Looking forward to seeing your projects. Remember….NOTHING is too bad to post. that lets us give advice (if wanted) and see your experiance grow.

Keep on turnin!

It’s a slippery slope and you just took the first step! Pretty soon, nothing but turning in the shop, table saw is a great catch all, router gathers dust in the corner….....

You are going to love it!

You are going to love turning!!

All I can add to the other comments is;

1) Get good turning tools. This is not the area to go cheap.

2) Dull tools bite (in more ways than one). Have an experienced turner show you how to sharpen those tools. I found a good investment was a “Wolverine” sharpening jig.
