alright. thanks gentleman. drill press is next then

dang. fine. :lol: i'm young and naive and i don't need all my fingers anyways. What if he uses spade bits? and in answer to jeffs query, thats the plan (spade bits). also, what about turning prefab stem tenons on this contraption using the PIMO tools or therebouts? i know y'all are going to tell me ...

I'm looking to buy a cheap setup that I can modify easily. I mean really cheap. I was wondering what kind of attachments I can put on a 1/3-1/2 hp motor? sanding wheels? I'd like to buy Kurts setup with arbours, but I'd also like to know if I can put a jacobs chuck on a motor like that and freehand ...

has anybody sandblasted cherrywood? could that person post pictures?
just curious

what if... after drilling the tenon, and having the draft hole hit it on the side, plugging the end of the tenon, then drilling/dremeling a small hole in the side of the tenon to meet the draft hole perfectly when the tenon is inserted, therefore the draft hole wouldn't need to be in the bottom cent...

thanks for the feedback, folks. i really appreciate it.
as far as the lathe goes, sasquatch, i'm a poor undergraduate :/ ...so that might not happen for a while

thanks i will. i was actually wondering where to go from this point, as far as tooling is concerned
