Adam F Posted June 5, 2017 Report Posted June 5, 2017 Do any members have a lathe, or access to a lathe? I'm looking to turn up a couple of nylon rollers for my bow roller? Quote
Brian Posted June 5, 2017 Report Posted June 5, 2017 I've got a lathe Adam. It's old but should do what you want. Stuie and Jim 2 Quote
Adam F Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Posted June 5, 2017 Thanks Brian, if I get the nylon blanks and size up what I need, I'll give you a shout? Quote
Brian Posted June 5, 2017 Report Posted June 5, 2017 If it turns out that my lathe isn't big enough, my friend had a larger one. Quote

Jim Posted June 6, 2017 Report Posted June 6, 2017 I have a lathe too Adam but tied up for at least the next 3 weeks. Very busy at work and studying for an exam. If it's not done by then I'll take a look. Jim Quote
Jim Posted June 6, 2017 Report Posted June 6, 2017 Health & safety " box tickers" would be all over that one Brian. Mine's about the same size. 4" chuck ( 100mm ) if you're a youngster! Quote
Maverick Martin Posted June 6, 2017 Report Posted June 6, 2017 4" chuck ( 100mm ) if you're a youngster! 101.6 actually Quote

Jim Posted June 25, 2017 Report Posted June 25, 2017 I created this in case it's of use to anyone. Just have to print it off and specify the required dimensions. Then take or send to someone for manufacture. Jim Bow Roller.pdf niggle, Maverick Martin and 2006holmwood 3 Quote
shytalk Posted June 30, 2017 Report Posted June 30, 2017 Adam I thought you had been in my place enough times to know I got one of them lathe things in the corner in fact I use it to make the occasional roller myself !!!!! Quote
Adam F Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Posted July 3, 2017 I know Pete - I dont like to bother such a busy man as yourself for a dinky little roller.... but as you mention it.... I'll probably wait until the weather turns and do it as a winter project. Thanks Quote
