Forum: rodboard

I have done this on my atlas metal lathe to turn grips down...made a base to clamp down on top of the metal lathe ( like John Powell stated ) so i can use the wrapper supports...the key here is to really support the blank.....never to many supports.....

My blanks just recently started walking out of the chuck and tried everything to correct the problem.....was close to ordering the alps chuck....I put a square across the bottom track and found that the chuck support bracket wasn't square on the track.....squared it up and all is good ..no more slippage......

got this little trick from BILLY40 of the NERBS......get a plano box and put the spools in seperate spaces and drill a tiny holes in the lid...one thread in each hole..then gather the threads in your hand and wrap...no tangles...
Forum: rodboard

Bill Ballou makes the grips....I think Billy40 of the NERBS sells some of his stuff...
Forum: rodboard

trim the tip....no big deal...
