To be totally honest I don’t know. The fan has a 50cfm tho and it’s probably about 5” across.
Hope this helps

Jim just bought a new laguna 1836 2hp. lathe. Wondering what type or size of 4 jaw chuck to buy? Thinking of superNOVA G2 for large bowls? 12 – 15″ dia… Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thx. Norm.

jim where can i find 1 1/4″ by 8 nuts to make flanges. and what type of pellets do you use for hot glue.thanks
You will need to find a specialty store that sells large nut and bolts like Fastenall here in Canada. I get my hot melt glue from Canadian Tire here in Canada as well.
Safe turning

Hi Jim I am going to buy a hercules tool which one do you use thanks .billd
Since your south of the border I can’t really help you out other than suggesting putting an on Craig’s list or your local buy and sell to get logs. Jim
Only one problem with what I’ve watched.
Just wish I’d seen this before I turned 70.
Oh well, I got a few years left.

Jim,
My name is Al Rosenberger, I’m from Newaygo Michigan. I love to watch all your videos. You do a great job explaining why you do what you do and I appreciate it! I have a question about the deep poor epoxy. I want to use what you use from designer epoxy in Canada.
That being said if I understand correctly to use a pressure pot should I only use the deep poor epoxy? I have never used epoxy before so I’m new to this, and I believe you use the deep poor because of the thickness. Correct? Thank you in advance for any help.
Sincerely, Al Rosenberger
You can use the pressure pot for all resins except the UV resin because it’s cured with UV light. Don’t forget to use my code inlayjim for you’re discount. Thanks for watching!
My largest pressure pot can hold pieces that are 14.5” in diameter and I purchased it from California Air Tools. Thanks for watching!

Jim,
I got into turning about a year go and have been enjoying it. My biggest problem is drying the wood. I have twice turned bowls but still after completion I still get movement. I have used a microwave and weigh between steps. I hear people use old refrigerators with a light bulb. looking for guidance and suggestions.
Thanks for all your videos

Hi Jim
After watching your videos I have started turning wood and resin, on my third piece. I have the Hercules and I am very happy with it for the most part. Here is the question I guy tons of tear out and chatter when I put the piece on for the first time and start to true it. When I say tons the entire piece is nothing but chatter and tear outs. I am turning slow at first since the piece isn’t true. Could that be the problem ? I’m kinda at a loss. Thanks in advance Jim

Hi Clete
I actually shot a video on my YouTube channel where I show how to make a Fridge kiln.

Hi Chuck
This is normal, I usually have the same issue until you keep the bevel rubbing on the surface of the wood all the time. Higher speeds will help.
