[quote="JPG40504"]Add another/more extension(s).]

He has not used the quill yet so I'd say two should be enough.

I was under the impression that when extending the live center two extensions was the limit but now I can't find that written anywhere so maybe that is not the case??? Or did I miss that fact somewhere? Perhaps it never was a fact?

I also have a MT2(M) to MT2(F) extension that I sometimes use. Not all centers are designed like the shopsmith's that takes the extensions.

Hmmmmm! I have not encountered any discussion of that.

Too many 'joints' could be detrimental.

A single long extension would be best(and the thicker the better).

Yep that is the one I remember. The price is not much to my liking.

So any one, any one at all have one?

I believe my problem is my work won't clear the bolt on the center of the UTR. I will check it on my next bowl to see what the max throw is with the UTR.

My solution is simple, yet pretty cool.

1) Buy classic stereo components on eBay. Maxell tape required.
2) Position SS between stereo and garage door.
3) Open garage door.
4) Crank it up!.

Hey, that paper-clippy thing really does work. Thanks, JPG!

Ok, here it is, for better or worse.

Set up in front of lathe. Two 7/16 4x8 OSB panels cut into eight 2'x4' panels, then hinged together in pairs.

New Dust Deputy to suck up all the contained chips. No slippery plastic sheets required. No hanging shower curtains to block the air conditioner.

Panels folded up and stored out of the way.

I looks like it should certainly work and the Dust Deputy can't hurt at all. Now that you have done all this work...well, I guess I'll keep that thought to myself. It probably would not have worked anyway.

Fred why didn't you just ...

Oh I see you have gotten a solution okay never mind.
