Wow a 10'er huh? That will be nice when you start turning pillars for your porch, you wont have to move your rest!! You may need to hook a bigger motor up to your mini though!:thumbsup:
The Excelcior lathe that Rockler sells is the exact same lathe just a different color so everything they sell fits. I got my bed extension there since HF dosnt sell one so now my lathe is green and black!
Grizzly also sells the same lathe so thats a good source for belts and any other parts you may need. Ive heard ordering parts from HF can be a nightmare. Luckily, I'm almost 2 years in and havnt needed any parts yet!
