Thanks for the info. We have a Harbor Freight near us and they have a 20% off coupon so I'll get it pretty reasonably. I will see if I think I need the extension and will be able to add it later. I'm pretty new to the lathe and have a lot to learn...but I was new to Rod building 1 1/2 years ago and I find myself getting pretty at it now...never thought I could do what I am doing now! I am hoo

Thanks so much for all the information. I think I have decided to sell the lathe I have and buy a different one...it does not really meet my expectations and even getting a special adapter is very costly....might as well get one that is more suited to my needs. Think I am going to get the Harbor Freight 18". It will do everything I need. And I love that you guys are so knowledgeable. Than

This is a different model. I have a 3/4 to 1 inch adapter and it slides right over the threads. The Manuel looks like everything else is the same. The model number on mine is T31082. Can't find a Manuel for that model. But thanks for the try

I don't really know...and I'm not sure how to find that out.

I was given a Central Machinery 14 x 40 lathe. I woul like to put an adjustable Chuck on it but it has a 5/8 spindle and I can't find an adapter to go from 5/8 to 3/4 or 1 inch. Any ideas out there? I have searched all over the Internet trying to find one...no luck. Maybe someone with more experience with lathes can steer me in the right direction. It is a model T31082 lathe.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will be trying the Jann's for sure....I have one someone gave me that I'm pretty sure is DH. I love that one....but I broke it. So, I'll try theirs also.

Wondering if anyone knows where to purchase a 32" noodle ice blank with a different color tip. I have been searching for a couple hours and can't find what I am looking for. Also looking for a snow camo handle kit. Thanks

I did find Rod Glove. Will be ordering from them.
Forum: rodboard

Yes, I have that option. Was just trying to see if anyone knew of a seller.
Forum: rodboard

I like to deliver my rods with a Rod sock. Does anyone know of a company that sells custom printed Rod socks.
Forum: rodboard

I understand that the blank doesn't have to say it is a musky blank. Throwing crank baits...no trolling. Just looking for something in the mid ranges for weight..
Forum: rodboard

Have been searching for a Muskie Baitcasting Rod blank 8' med heavy. Found an MHX but not many other options. Hoping you guys can help me find what I'm looking for. Thanks!
