I am trying my hand at woodturning for the first time so I suffer from considerable ignorance. I have bought a second hand lathe but cannot find any info on the net - My lathe is called Woodmen kl600 - made in Sweden by SP Maskinser. It has three speeds by adjusting the pulley. It certainly appears well made - does anyone know of this make and if so any opinions - is there a manual.
I have a face plate and I tried to turn some bowls to see how I got on and would now like to turn a spindle of sorts but do not have the bit to hold the spindle - i.e. when you take the face plate off their is only the thread to attach anything to hold the wood. What should I be looking for and can anyone recommend web sites that might help.
Many, many apologies for my ignorance
Thanks for any help that can be offered.
