Think, this is going to be my first lathe very soon... ok, the price is much higher than the DML 250, 305 or even 320, but the functionality is also amazing. With the rotating head I can also "obuse" it as disc-type-sander and so on..

This is a brilliant benchtop lathe, I bought one 3 years ago over here in Spain and love it to bits. It has plenty of power and grunt when needed and is as solid as a rock, I have mine bolted down to the workbench and get no vibrations at all. I am nowconsideringbuyingthebedextension for longer spindles and upgrading the tool rest to make use of the swing head more now I have more experience of the lathe. I dont use it every day because over here in the summer it is just too hot for 3 months in my workshop but the rest of the year it gets a good workout!! If your anovicedontworry,Iwasandthiswasmy first andprobably lastlateh asI seeitlastinglongerthan me the way it is built forsure. Dont bother with cheaper machines you will just be so disappointed compared to this. Just make sure you have live centres, a drill chuck ,a good set of chucks and plates when you can afford it and definitely buy the bed extension and long rigger toolr est for the swing head. I also use my to turn down non ferrous metals such as ALi, Brass and Copper. I made a simple tool post that clamps to the bed and allows me to uss Carbide and HSS bits for turning the Non Ferrous metals accurately, I also use carbide chisels, I'm a qualified engineer not a traditionalist and use the best tools for the job in hand. I have lots of respect for those people that use steel chisels but I havent got the patience, time or the money to buy all the gear needed to sharpen a chisel on very expensive diamond wheels when in a couple of ticks I can change the carbide insert around and carry on for another 500 hours . I have tried a friends set of steel chisels and to be honest I cant really tell the difference between the two apart from the odd tool marks you occasionally get andI put that down to inexperience, as long as you have a sharp chisel be it carbide tipped or good old tool steel it will do the job and remove wood. Enjoy your purchases as this is a Damn fine British machine made by a company who has a pedigree.

Can the indexer accidently be knocked into position whilst running? I'm getting one of these lathes in a couple of days - its been collected by the courier now so waiting a few days for delivery. Very excited 😇

Hi Gavin - The indexing disc of the Herald has been designed so it is out of the way during use to prevent accidental engagement. In addition, if the indexing pin is engaged before starting the machine, when the machine is started the Herald will show an error message, which stops accidental starting with the pin engaged. Hope this helps!

@@RecordPowerTV Hi - thanks for the reply. I now have my Herald and do notice it has a slight lock indent position but if for any reason one is clumsy it could actually quite easily be knocked into the lock position whilst running. Maybe it needs an upgrade to a better pull out turn sort of mechanism to go in instead of the small dimple. Food for thought for the design team

Hello, thank you for your comment. This is not, the tool rest adjustment screw located on the underside of the tool rest just required a slight tweak which rectified this. Hope this helps. Best Wishes, Record Power.

It’s a pity it isn’t shown running. I bought one and the vey slow run down every time it is switched off is a PITA. Confirmed by others,Record customer service are most unhelpful. I wish I knew that before I bought it! John

Is this ok for a complete novice if not is there one you could recommend. I did look at the 305 I think but it needs to be easy as I’m disabled with bad hands cheers

Hi Derek - we're currently working on a new video showing the Herald in use by professional woodturner Andrew Hall. In the meantime the lathe can be seen in use on John Clothier's channel and also on our own channel here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/tG2XuX2nqIV_q6g

I purchased the Herald lathe and I love it except for one issue: the full 2-1/2” travel of the quill in the tailstock is not available when one has inserted a drill chuck. To get the drill chuck to seat in the MT#2 taper, the quill must be extended 1.1” leaving only 1.4” available for advancing. It looks like this is a result of the auto-eject stop inside the MT#2 being too close to the opening in the taper. The drill chuck I have is a standard drill chuck.
