kanny 19,523 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Never did like the spindle moulder. Could get you seriously hurt. Love my lathe though. Turned some not bad stuff. Got a reasonable wood working shop bottom of my ground. Wish I could aspire to that kind of work though. Yes if you don't know what your doing they have no mercy I've seen a couple of lads loose all there fingers on one hand on the spindle and both educated and should have known better than to cut corners . ... only ever had a bit of a fuk about on my mates lathe its good fun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
