@@cgmcornel I haven’t personally used the MAXI1 so difficult for me to say, I like the heavy duty no frills design of the MAXI1 but I prefer the control panel and digital display on the Regent. The heavier weight of the MAXI1 is an advantage but it is easy to install a shelf between the lower leg stretchers on the Regent so that heavy stuff can be stored on it to add extra weight. The Regent has certainly got a lot of power, I recently turned a 22inch bowl on it without any issues whatsoever. I haven’t checked recently but I think the Regent may be slightly more powerful than the MAXI1. If you get the Regent I would recommend getting the outrigger and bed extension but this does up the price.
@@JimsonMakes Thankyou for the quick response Jim; I'll be new to woodturning, and my logic is to get the best lathe I can, rather than needing to buy another lathe again in a few years! Hope that doesn't seem daft! I have some money put by, so will hopefully be getting a 15ft x 10ft shed, and kitting it out from scratch next year! I used to be a glassblower; and have been blown away by what I've seen being turned in demonstrations, and on RUclips. Am focusing mainly on 'Record Power' for totting up my wish list / what I want next year; am trying hard not to get too carried away! Definitely feel like I've found a new passion for life!
@@cgmcornel that sounds like a great plan. The Regent lathe is a very good lathe and certainly good value for money. It is very quiet and powerful and should be more than enough for most turners. Remember to allow money for a good sharpening machine ( I personally like the Sorby Proedge ). If possible it is best for the lathe to be standing on a concrete floor, much less bounce and vibration. If your shed has a wooden floor then it may be possible to cut part out and pour a small concrete section or put extra supports under that part. It is surprising the forces generated by even a small piece of timber. Also advisable to clad the shed inside with some insulation, this reduces temperature changes and lessens condensation forming on metal surfaces which can cause rusting on machinery and tools.

Very nice bowl jim. Very cool that you could be part of the development of the new tools. Cooler yet that RP would send you a set of them, and that beautiful lathe to use them on! Congrats!
Brilliant review, lathe looks fantastic... need to get some overtime in ! Oh and last time I watch with my wife, she was giggling along to the innuendos. Keep up the good work fella.
As someone who doesn’t know anything about wood turning, except that I love watching it, I found this video to be quite entertaining, interesting and fun to watch. 😄 Stay safe! 🧡✨ ~ Roma
Appropriate video, Jim. I’m thinking of upgrading from a Herald to either a Regent or a Twister 200. Love the voice over as I also need all the help I can get. Thank you for sharing 🌞
Another great video Jim. The tools appeared to work really well. And the lathe looks awesome. I would have liked to see you swing the headstock a little while hollowing the bowl. I am really excited to see more and more Record Power tools as well as the lathes starting to offered across the pond. They appear to be great quality lathes. Personally, I have been looking at the Envoy. Thanks again for the great video.
Thank you very much. Check out a couple of my other videos where I swing the headstock 90degrees and use the outrigger. The Envoy is a great lathe, I recently used one for 2 days of demo work
Oh special being on the consultation for the lathe tools! From your demo, I reckon they turned out well. Stay quiet about when they might want the lathe back 😉

Beautiful bowl Jim, very jealous with the new chisels but really jealous with the new lathe it looks the dogs b..........ks I might have to have a wee look for that 👍👍👍
Nice bowl! It looks like 40k subscribers has its real bonuses hahahahah! I must check out those new tools, I’m mostly using the cheap tools my dad bought back in the early 80s
Informative video thanks. I have a couple of questions, is the Coronet Regent lathe made in England and can you add extensions to both ends of the lathe, headstock and tailstock areas for doing longer turnings?
Sorry for the late reply. The Regent is not made in England except a couple of components but it gets a full PDI by Record Power before dispatch. I think you can only fit a bed extension to one end, the fittings at the other end are for the outrigger.
Beautiful bowl ,and looks like a really good lathe ,I been looking at the coronet herald as a replacement for my jet ,it has no varying speed ,thanks for the insight
Thank you very much Robert. The Coronet Herald is a fantastic lathe and I have used it for a lot of demonstrations. Very powerful and smooth for its size. Cheers Jim
Hi David, sorry if I missed your message, Ive been out of the loop for a while but just trying to catch up with my replies. Keeping well, hope you are too. Cheers Jim
Another great video Jim, loving the look of the new tools and machine. It seems that the bowl took so little time to make. Can you answer a question which I think maybe a lot of people want to know, I’ve never seen a video explaining what all the different colored (it looks like big rounds of cheese to me) stuff that you add to the cloth round things, I really don’t know any names for different parts of the machine. I see the stuff in different colours, white, green etc and I’ve wanted to know what colour dose what. Maybe you could add it to the end of one of your videos.... thanks Jim, you and the family stay safe xx
Hi.JIM LOVE THE MACHINE..LOOKS REAL GOOD.. WAS A LOVER OF RECORD POWER MYSELF.THINK THERE GOOD MACHINES ..HOPE YOU GET GREAT PLEASURE WITH IT..PERHAPS YOU SHOULD LET THE WIFE HAVE A SPIN ON IT..DAVID..
Its a really nice looking lathe, but for a $2400 price tag i would expect that lol. But my question on the tools, is there really any difference between those, or robert sorbys, or any other name brand expensive lathe tool for wood? Handel shape and size differences, maybe metal composition differences, but in reality is there much difference? The quality of the cut is directionally equivalent to the ability of the user and the quality of the edge of the tool right? Lol
Many thanks for watching. Yes the lathe is great, here in the UK the price is very competitive for the quality and specification. As for lathe tools, the new Record Power tools are a step up from the older ones in my opinion. Many HSS tools are similar but I have found over time that some hold an edge much longer than others. Some tools also have a poor profile which leads to an odd shaped bevel. I think the Record Power tools will be very competitively priced on release. You are quite right, a lot of it is down to your skill in using the tool. Cheers Jim
Hi Jim. Great video! I'm thinking of investing in a Coronet Regent. You've already answered a lot of my questions. But does it ever have a problem with vibration? Would it need to be pinned to the floor?
Hi Mike, I have not noticed any excessive vibration but mine is very heavy with the addition of the bed extension and the outrigger. It also has a large tool storage unit on a shelf underneath it which is held between the legs. All woodturning lathes generate vibrations and it is weight that counteracts this. The lathe is very smooth and quiet which is great for me in my little workshop. Obviously a concrete floor is essential but I have not felt the need to fix it down.
That’s a beautiful lathe! With the Apple Watch, does the dial on the watch control the zoom? Maybe your jacket was knocking the dial and making it zoom?
Hi Jim, how does the coronet compare to the axminster ? I had my mind set on the axminster but not so sure now ,would appreciate your view as you have used both. Many thanks
Hi Adrian, I am loving the Record Power lathe, it is certainly quieter and more powerful and the control panel is much superior. The castings are also superior quality. The extra capacity is also useful, they both have revolving heads but the outrigger makes more sense space wise in my small workshop. The Axminster is a good lathe and I have never had any complaints. It is still early days but I would have to say the Regent has the edge, especially with the addition of the outrigger. I hope this helps. Cheers Jim
Great bowl Jim! I love Ash. Tools looked like they worked perfectly, great kit. Also the lathe was awesome. Just a little bit of wondering on my part, the tail stock looked a bit undersized for a lathe of that capacity. Just saw a quick bit of it. Otherwise looked like it took on that ash with ease! Take care Jim.
Thank you very much Jeff. Haven’t really used the tailstock in earnest yet, seems very stable though. I do like a lot of weight on a lathe. I was very impressed with the power of the lathe and very quiet too. Cheers Jim
Many thanks for watching. Unfortunately the microphone on my workshop camera now creates horrible hissing so I tend to voiceover the recordings. The lathe itself is very quiet.
Thanks Jim, I am looking at the Regent to upgrade from my Laguna 12/16. Do you find the Regent heavy enough for large, unbalanced blanks. From my research it seems the Regent has plenty of power. Thanks and keep up with the great videos.
I am delighted with my Regent lathe. It is fairly heavy, especially with the bed extension and outrigger fitted. It is easy to add weight by putting a shelf between the legs and installing a heavy duty tool box in which to store heavy items such as chucks and face plates
Hi Jim, are you happy with coronet regent after few years? I am planning to swap my old lathe for something new and Regent is on my short list along with stratos fu 230. Would appreciate your opinion
Sorry for the late reply. Yes still very happy with the Regent lathe. I have had no issues with it. My only criticism would be that the hole through the headstock is too narrow for my vacuum chuck but this can be overcome by removing the hand wheel.
@ Jim many thanks for your reply and advice. In the meantime purchased new Regent from local stockist here in Poland . Have it for 3 weeks now and it is such a step change to the budget lathe I had before. Couldn’t be happier !
lovely job Jim bit jealous you getting a go on the big boy, I have the little brother to it the Coronet and as you said it is really well made and finished and so quiet too, cheers for sharing mate Ross ps wish you hadn't shown the tools tho I've already spent too much
It is an old cycling glove. You have to be careful wearing gloves when using lathes as they could potentially drag your hand if they get caught. I would only recommend wearing tight and fingerless gloves and keeping them clear of the workpiece. I tend to only wear them if I have to, usually to protect my hand from the hot shavings that come of these kiln dried woods. Many thanks for watching Cheers Jim
Jim I’ve just set up my bowl turning attachment on my record CL3 36x30 and it’s got a bit of a wobble on it…I’m sure there’s many possible reasons for this. But what’s the most likely 👍🏻
As you say could be a number of things. Check everything is tight and if it is on an outrigger, set it up so you have minimal overhangs, this will minimise vibration. Use light cuts when using an outrigger. The further away from the bed you are the more vibration will be multiplied at the tool rest.
@@williamswhistlepipes putting a shelf under the lathe and loading with heavy stuff helps, as could bolting it down. Concrete floor is also recommended as it reduces bounce. You will always get more vibration when not turning directly over the lathe bed. The more weight you can get in the lathe the steadier it will be.
@@JimsonMakes thanks Jim I’m going to bolt her down this afternoon it’s a concrete floor and it’s not that level so it will allow me to level it up too. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have that lathe and its the dogs bollocks, the tools Im not so sure, I have tried them but I prefer carbide coming from metal turning and have got used to it. I would like to try HSS but Im not sure I could deal with all the sharpening all the time, sometimes every minute on hard wood. The tools look nice, in my view these things at the cost should come in a simple nice box to keep them safe and rust free. they are not cheap and by adding a 5 pound box your not really doing much to the price. they should have done the control box on the Herald the same as this as that was its failing, also a brilliant lathe and will do Records profits well, I bought mine in spain and its superb. No regrets at all, bank manager yes but not me...
Yes a fantastic lathe. The control box is great, they have now added an inline stop switch for the Herald, I think they were keen to keep it a compact machine. I use mainly traditional HSS tools but I will use carbides on very hard woods and resins. I find traditional tools more satisfying and efficient to use on most woods and the more sharpening you do, the quicker you get. I tend to discard all packaging and put my tools in a rack. I know Record Power are looking to reduce the amount of packaging and the new sleeves are recyclable .
Lovely wood turning kit from Record, Jim, so many thanks for the video. We have a wood turning shop attached to the club to which I belong and the owner is an agent for Record. I wonder did you get the message from Record to pass the lathe on to me for further testing? I'll email you my address:-).
it does look like that but seems to work very well. It takes a standard 1 inch stem so there are plenty of other tool rests available if you wanted to change it.
It is a long lathe with the bed extension fitted but I love being able to slide the tailstock and banjo out of the way when required. Many thanks for watching. Cheers Jim

I would only recommend wearing tight and fingerless gloves and keeping them clear of the workpiece. I tend to only wear them if I have to, usually to protect my hand from the hot shavings that come of these kiln dried woods. Many thanks for watching

Jim I’ve just set up my bowl turning attachment on my record CL3 36x30 and it’s got a bit of a wobble on it…I’m sure there’s many possible reasons for this. But what’s the most likely 👍🏻
As you say could be a number of things. Check everything is tight and if it is on an outrigger, set it up so you have minimal overhangs, this will minimise vibration. Use light cuts when using an outrigger. The further away from the bed you are the more vibration will be multiplied at the tool rest.
@@JimsonMakes thanks Jim still haven’t got to the bottom of it would bolting the lathe down help👍🏻
@@williamswhistlepipes putting a shelf under the lathe and loading with heavy stuff helps, as could bolting it down. Concrete floor is also recommended as it reduces bounce. You will always get more vibration when not turning directly over the lathe bed. The more weight you can get in the lathe the steadier it will be.
@@JimsonMakes thanks Jim I’m going to bolt her down this afternoon it’s a concrete floor and it’s not that level so it will allow me to level it up too. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have that lathe and its the dogs bollocks, the tools Im not so sure, I have tried them but I prefer carbide coming from metal turning and have got used to it. I would like to try HSS but Im not sure I could deal with all the sharpening all the time, sometimes every minute on hard wood. The tools look nice, in my view these things at the cost should come in a simple nice box to keep them safe and rust free. they are not cheap and by adding a 5 pound box your not really doing much to the price.
they should have done the control box on the Herald the same as this as that was its failing, also a brilliant lathe and will do Records profits well, I bought mine in spain and its superb. No regrets at all, bank manager yes but not me...
Yes a fantastic lathe. The control box is great, they have now added an inline stop switch for the Herald, I think they were keen to keep it a compact machine. I use mainly traditional HSS tools but I will use carbides on very hard woods and resins. I find traditional tools more satisfying and efficient to use on most woods and the more sharpening you do, the quicker you get. I tend to discard all packaging and put my tools in a rack. I know Record Power are looking to reduce the amount of packaging and the new sleeves are recyclable .
Lovely wood turning kit from Record, Jim, so many thanks for the video. We have a wood turning shop attached to the club to which I belong and the owner is an agent for Record. I wonder did you get the message from Record to pass the lathe on to me for further testing? I'll email you my address:-).
Thank you very much Alan. Loving the new lathe. I will be reluctant to let it go.

Looks a great bit of kit but your turning out shone the kit 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 but it would be nice to be able to use
Thank you very much Douglas👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Lucky sod. ;)
Many thanks for watching 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The tool rest on the outrigger looks like a piece of thin pipe. So cheap for a very expensive lathe.
it does look like that but seems to work very well. It takes a standard 1 inch stem so there are plenty of other tool rests available if you wanted to change it.
That lathe looks soooooo long you are going to need to buy some towing mirrors!
It is a long lathe with the bed extension fitted but I love being able to slide the tailstock and banjo out of the way when required. Many thanks for watching.

Gonna suck when you have to send it back.
Yep sure will. Many thanks for watching
