Mike you had my hopes up. However, I followed your link and if you blow up the picture you'll see that what looks like a hole in the end of the shaft is really just a dark reflection. I think they could bore a hole but don't because the shaft walls would be thinner than desired.Bill in Buena ParkComment

More good news. Tonight I spent a few minutes running the pink grinding bit from my HF die grinder set (because it fit) in my drill up and down through the 25mm tool post hole in the banjo - and presto! I now have a 1" hole in the banjo. So I can now use rests with 1" posts, as well as this 5/8" to 1" adapter (PSI, $11) so I can use all my 5/8" posted rests, including this curved rest for bowl turning that is on clearance at PSI which I picked up a little while back (was $20, now $6).Bill in Buena ParkComment

Am a new member here. Just stumbled across this post as I was looking for a hand wheel for my new 34706. It is an almost perfect lathe. If it only had forward and reverse and a way to drop the speed below 600 rpm. Thanks for having the same questions as I did.Comment
