Thank you for this tutorial on the Cornet Herald. I am getting one for Christmas and your video is a big help. I am new to turning wood. I am a wood carver, painter, and do pyrography but I want to make bowls, platters, and other wood turn items. Thanks again.
Good morning and thanks for your comment . Not sure where you are from but there are usually great offers on at the Harrogate woodworking and woodturning show its on in November 10,11 and 12 best regards Andrew.
Hello Andrew, thank you for putting up this video. I just bought my Record Power Coronet Herald last week and am putting it together today. Looking forward to getting some wood turned this week. Your video was very nice and informative.
Hello Andrew, what would us novices do without someone like you with the patience to outline exactly how to put this lathe together. 50 odd minutes of instruction. Thanks from a very grateful beginner.
Hello Harvey and thank you for your kind words hope you are having a lot of fun with your lathe. Apologies for not replying sooner but I’ve only just seen the comment i must have missed the alert. 😊👍
Hello Garry you will love it I’ve worked with them for many years and it’s a cracking lathe. Demonstrated many times on Heralds at woodturning clubs as well. Have fun 👍
Mine arrived yesterday, have opened the box. I am so thankful you made and I found this video before I started to assemble it. Now know how to do each step. Many thanks. 🙂 52:57
Good morning Fiona thank you for your comment and hope you have lots of fun with your lathe. I will be demonstrating at Newark at the midlands woodworking and woodturning show if you are there come and say hello. Unjointed your new lathe
Hello Roy the lathes are great value for money demonstrated on them for years have a look at Record powers RU-vid site Ive done a video on the herald on their site and the plastic blinds I get from amazon
Andrew, thank you so much for such a good video. I have just ordered one of these, and I hope you can help me with a dimension? I am going to bench mount it, on an existing bench that has my DML24X on at the moment. However, I am a little worried about the spindle centre height! Nowhere can I find the height of the spindle centre off the bench!? I have ordered the bench feet as well because I was told that I needed them to bench mount it? My concern is that my bench is 910mm (35 1/4”) high, and although I am just under 6’, my elbow height is 1150mm (45 1/4”), the centre heist of the lathe, especially with the feet added, will make it all too high!? I would therefore be very grateful if you could give me the heights and any suggestions? Many thanks
Hello Jon thanks for the comment, I will measure the height today and message you this evening with the dimensions I am 6ft and if anything I prefer to have the lathe so that it is a little higher to keep my back strait causing less fatigue, you are going to have some fun with your new lathe I’m delighted with mine Ive been working with them since they came out. Have you seen the video on the Record power RU-vid site when I visited the showroom, it was in a time before Covid have a good day.
Hello again John just measured up from the bottom of the bench mount to the centre of the spindle is 12 1/2” 318mm Your bench is 35” high + 12 1/2” making 47 1/2” 1207mm mine is 481/2” 1232mm and I’m 6ft and it perfect for my posture It’s something I am passionate about with working in the construction industry all my life I’ve had back challenges and don’t want any more so I think yours should be spot on at that height Hope that helps
@@andrewhall6880 Thank you so much for doing that for me. As I suspected, it's a little high, but good to know that you find that height comfortable. So I feel more relaxed, and excited about getting my Herald on Monday 😁 If I do find it a little high, I will have to get one of the mats like yours .
@@andrewhall6880 That’s an idea. What sort of step do you use? Can I also be a real pain and ask for another dimension? I need to know the distance the motor overhangs when it is at the end of the bed? Also the actual bed length? Many thanks again.
It's a good designed lathe, too bad that the company is not interested for them after sale and the 5 year guarantee turns out useless. I have got mine for 3 months now with problem in rpms and the company doesn't recognise it as a problem. Of course it's very annoying and some times dangerous when you are working to get to 700 rpm from 400 or to trying to put in 1200 for example and not getting there but too low or too high.
