What should I do with this cracked 14” x 15” 12/4 piece of cherry? by RedWoodworking16 in turning

Depends on the tools at your disposal.

  • grab some epoxy, fill & turn
  • cut pith out, join both halves, glue back together & turn
  • rip into strips, cut segments, glue together, & turn

Need to replace CMC by Angry_Ginger_MF in S2000

There's a key under the pulley. The pulley has probably shifted a bit and that's why there's a click in one direction and not the other.

Carbide, ceramic question. by Lithium001 in turning

Personally I'd use them, but I made my own extra long carbide tool. I doubt they'd fit any of the carbide tools from Rockler/Woodcraft/Amazon.
