Did someone grab the and pulled where the rod broke ?

I bought a Clemens lathe back in the mid 80's and don't regret it, best investment I have. I bought every part that you can get for it and I can do any rod building job on even turning wood. The best thing about it is that it still looks like I just bought it.

Just installed a Rodskin. Should I use a color preserver before using expo finish?

I have 2 adapters that thread right on to the spindle of my renzetti lathe. I use 1 for a fine grinding stone and 1 for a wire brush. I first grind them and then a wire brush them. They come out nice and smooth.

Barry, I saw your belt drive. Now that's a belt drive, it looks like it came off a Harley

I have the Renzetti thru Dale Clemens. I've had for 25 years and it is just as good today as the day I bought it. I got all the extras which are nice to have. I don't need a extra lathe to do grip or wood work Plenty of power. I put the blank on my lathe and leave it there till finish. Made a motor mount for a slow turn motor to rotate the rod with finish cures. Grat all around lathe

I've seen a cork drill that would cut the end of a cork grip so you can insert the hood of a reel seat, but remember were I saw it. Anyone remember?
