axminster

Hello folks I had my first visit to the Axminster store in Cardiff last week. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Nice to meet such friendly and knowledgable staff and I have also bagged myself a two hour bowl turning lesson so I am very pleased with that indeed. I suspect I will soon...

I was after a new Chuck and Axminster were out of stock on the one I wanted and I come across the Viper3 which I had always avoided but this time I thought give it a go well it arrived this morning and I was impressed so time to try it out and to my surprise it is a great Chuck it turned a 9”...

Hi there. I'm Tony. I have been spending money fast - sorry, I mean woodturning! - for about 4 years now. I started as a result of encouragement from my wife, believe it or not. She and a lady friend bought an evening's pen turning nearby for their respective husbands for Christmas. We both...

Hi all, just putting a bit more stock together.... These two Levech are dressed in the stabalised double dyed blanks from Axminster/ PSI, not cheap by any means but always good results. One is green and yellow one is red and yellow?

Yesterday I ordered a couple of sets of accessory mounting jaws for my Chuck. I ordered them on line late afternoon and got free delivery (estimated 3days and remember it is a bank holiday weekend). Within 15 minutes I received a despatch notice email and then at 11:00 this morning the post lady...

I currently have a Clarke CWL325V 13" ( Clarke CWL325V 13" Wood Lathe with Electronic Variable Speed - Machine Mart - Machine Mart). It's been ok but it's lacking in quality :(. The tail stock moves no matter how tight you get it and you need a spanner to do that as the plastic handles slip. So...

Hello folks new member here I already have been turning for a few years so good some bad stuff turned out,, the thing is I've never dabbled in pens and have been given a small Axminster lathes which came with a mandrill and I was wondering if all mandrills are to same size diameter wise? David

A pair of rollester's from axminster one's acrylic and the other is definitely wood (but I might have forgotten the wood I used.. :rolling:)

Hi all. My name is John and I've just joined your group. I started turning pens last year and have made a few wooden and acrylic ones. Mostly slimline and euro twist pens. I bought my lathe from Axminster power tools and have the Axminster evolution pen mandrel. I am looking forward to any...

Anyone got a view on the New Axminster pen press Axminster Deluxe Assembly/Disassembly Pen Press - Pen & Pencil Kit Accessories - Woodturning Kits - Lathe Accessories - Machinery Accessories - Accessories | Axminster Tools & Machinery

Does anyone know or have you tried to fit Patriot Pen Blank Drilling Jaws Stiles and Bates to an Axminster sk100 chuck? ie are the bolt holes compatible? PG

Hi all, I am stuck I do not know which lathe I should buy, what with so many out there I am stuck. I have my eye on a Trade AT150PPL Precision Pro Lathe which is for pen turning and other small bowls, or an Axminster Craft AC305WL Woodturning Lathe, or Axminster Craft AC355WL Woodturning Lathe...

I recently inherited a lathe from my father. We did some turning when i was younger and thought i would try and "turn" my hand at some pen making. My question is where is best place to go shopping for mandrels, etc. i am close to Axminster power tools but they feel over priced. Is there a good...

Good Morning everyone, I’m new to pen turning but have had a lathe for a while and have made some bowls and other random objects, mostly from bits of old wood that I find lying around the woods surrounding my home, I love making what some people throw away into something useful or attractive and...

Hi I have two of the above kits if anyone wants them. I also have an Axminster Prokraft Woody Just PM me. First come, first served. Cheers

I fancied trying a set of axminster pen jaws but as I do all my turning on a modified metal lathe and I can not justify buying a wood lathe I purchased a set of axminster chuck jaws and spent a couple of hours in the shed modifying them on my mill to fit my chuck. Result is I can now add any of...

A Beufort minstral fitted with a fiji blank from Axminster tools. The picture quality does not do it justice.

A simple slimline pen made using the festival wood blank from Axminster, these always look better in the flesh and it has a CA finish.

Hi Has anyone got any views on these button jaws apparently 300mm Axminster ones although I guess now no longer sold by them. I see them for sale locally at £60... are they a good bet or not? Kevin:banana:

A quick gold Omega in a blank i found at Axminster last week....and i wasn't that expensive either!!:face:
