I'm starting wooden model boat building which requires turning and tapering 16" masts. Will this lathe do the job. What about chucks?

Yup what Ed said, but you could do 16" things with the bed extension Jet offers. I have one to do rolling pins, peppermills etc. Most any chuck set will handle spindle shaped things from 1/4" up to 3" in diameter or so.

Your lathe will only accomodate material which is fourteen inches in length.

You must determine the exact replacement part for your particular machine. Tapers are extremely precise and there are numerous types / diameters / tapers. None I have ever seen have a 11/16" hole. This chuck is a JT33 taper; it fits a spindle 1" long,.56051" at the small end, and .62041" at the large end. Research the model number and brand of the machine to determine the chuck that will properly mate.

Im not sure what your stripping, large or small wire? I have found that manually pulling the wire through the stripinator works very well. I believe the next model up is geared up for an electric, battery drill. the large crank is bolted on and does come off, a half inch chuck would probably fit, but go with the next model up if you want to use a drill. side note, unless your doing this with a second person to feed the wire I think your better off with the crank.

Yes. With the proper bit, there is plenty of power to drive and remove screws. Read my comments about the chuck though before you decide to make a purchase. Thanks

Depends on what you are asking about. The cross slide that the tool post is mounted to travels beyond any practical use for machining. From the "standard" chuck face, which of course you cannot machine all the way up to, to the tail stock is in the 21-22 inch range. Practical use of 20" is a pretty good number. Maybe slightly more. If you need 2 ft get a different lathe. If you are asking about the tail stock, it can be moved anywhere on the bed and locked down and it will travel roughly 2 1/4 inches. I think they actually list some absurdly short travel for that.

Sounds like this saw may be just what you need. It's very simple to operate and the blades don't easily break or come loose. It has more than adequate power for most wood projects. I actually used it mostly on fiberboard but some wood and a little bit of thin sheet metal. It did everything I asked of it except cut a straight cut which all depends on the operator. If this is in your price range I think you'll be quite satisfied with it.

You'll need to measure the large and small dimensions of the taper you are putting the chuck onto. Here's a chart for reference. http://www.victornet.com/reference/Morse_Jacobs.html The chuck you selected is a JT33 taper. If the dimensions match, degrease the mating surfaces and assemble with a solid hit from a rubber mallet. Good luck!

Don't know about that. Do know that the design of the jig allows a lot of play. It's about impossible to drill the holes in the correct location. I ended up not using it and did the job on a friends mill. Save your money and go to a gunsmith to have the job done

The manual for my machine says it will take up to a 5/8" shank. The quill has a MT2 taper, so you can use a variety of alternatives - I have a collet chuck, an arbor, and a smaller Jacobs chuck that will fit the machine also.

The question is a bit unclear. The head stock has a #2 morse taper. The lathe comes with a #2 morse taper drive spur/center. It can use any #2 morse taper accessories. The drive spindle is also threaded to accept 1"-8 accessories. Most common 4 jaw chucks either come with 1"-8 threads, or an adapter, to mount on the spindle. I use a Barracuda, and many other brands will work. The head stock through-bore diameter is 5/8", I believe, but I don't think this is relevant to the question. Also, the tail stock is #2 morse taper, and there are lots of accessories to fit.

I've used just a few times so far, so I am no expert. However I've found this jig easy to use. You set the depth with the adjustable collar, just clamp in place with a c clamp and drill. The key is to test on scrap wood first to make sure you're getting the proper depth adjustment needed. Hope this helps.

Yes, that is what I used. 3/8" chuck will be fine. I mixed about 3 gallons of thin set mortar, so self leveling should be no problem. Depends more on the power of the drill motor. Has lasted me over a year to date.

You will need to buy a chuck separately. I use the Nova G3. I really enjoy using this lathe.

If your lathe has a 1" x 8 tpi spindle the Barracuda chuck with 1" x 8 tpi will work.

The 18ga brad is too thin for your application and will bend when trying to go through thick decking floor. You should consider something larger than 16ga for decking, like a framing nailer. I have both a brad nailer and a Dewalt 16ga finish nailer. The Dewalt is great for base and cove molding. The brad nailer is for lighter materials or thin materials that split easily.

I don't know, call Grizzly. It is well made and they have a good customer support system. Sorry to not answer your question. I know it matters if a drill press takes taper chucks so you can convert to a light weight end mill.I am interested in the ultimate answer! Rick
