Eye protection. Sorby Gouges, skews, parting tools, etc. (the stuff that hits the wood). Technotool wood turning chuck for bowls and goblets. Understand that you will be spending upwards of a minimum of $500 for decent quality tools. If you Google "Tools required for wood turning" you will get a comprehensive answer.

The knobs are a little hard to turn at first. They will loosen up with use. Just give them a hard twist. That should work.

I did not use a plate. I just installed the pulls. My old pulls were similar to these. I was simply changing the finish.

go down to your local hardware store and buy one for a couple of bucks that is made out of metal---hopefully something made in the u.s.a. and replace it. I recommend using some kind of gasket sealer. You better hurry. troop movements start in just a few months.

That's all you have to have. An egg turning thing can save you some effort - but is not necessary. You can turn them by hand.

You may want to hold off on buying anything till you receive your welder. It does not take long to pick up the supplies you need and you want to be sure you got a good unit before buying a bunch of stuff. My first attempt to purchase had a crushed faceplate the knobs were bent side ways. Have not attempted to purchase another yet as it was heavily discounted. And I did not have the funds to retry purchasing another yet.

Yes the old tools will work , I have also used Black and Decker and Craftsman tools.

If the filter is smaller than the tool you can grab the side panels and squeeze while your turning and it should work. Tony's suggestion about sandpaper is also a good idea too. Its a good tool imo but remember it is a cheap tool too.

This part is all you need. It sould come with two tools tools.you will also need a hair dryer to warm up the glue around the edges.the unit is kind of fragile so be very careful when removing the faceplate. The connections are also very fragile. the sure to remove the tape from the connections. I found a video on the internet that was very helpful. Search YouTube for your brand and model.I hope this was helpful and good luck

Do it on a clear head, no rushing, keep good track of your screws and you will be ok. Youtube videos online did it for me...I would advise magnetic screwdriver set. I did mine in 30 minutes...first time ever.

Thanks, I'll definitely drill a starter. It's going behind a TV mount and will have a faceplate over it so not concerned about a rough cut.

Start with 150, change to 220, then, depending upon what kind of finish you want on to 400.That Makita planer is superb. Be sure to have your earprotector (headphone style) on. It'll wear down your hearing in no time.Oh, and most importat, be sure there are NO, ZERO, nails, staples, or brads -- or anything metal anywhere on the piece you're planing.Nothing destroys the blades faster than that. If you had one of these, you'll immediately see a raised streak on the finish of the planed board.No choice then but refinishing the blades or installing new ones.

Check amazon lol. I was told by customer service that the grates are not seasoned and that they should be seasoned before using them. I've seen aluminum and steel plates that might fit as one piece, not two. I personally stay away from aluminum.

Hi Jean - we used old China from a local thrift store!! You need a special drill bit and we had a lot of different plates break - once we got in the rhythm they came out great!!

I have not turned a bowl to date on this unit. I believe that if you are looking to turn bowls; I would look for a larger lathe that had a variable speed drive. Its a good lathe for a hobbyist: pens, chess pieces, etc but it isn't what I would use to turn anything substantial.
