You can skim the faceplate now fitted to your lathe and it will be dead nuts.

Errr, use it outside?
I set it up outside the other day to test it and just managed to get that little piece of wood planed before it started raining and had to decamp.
I've been looking at cyclone attachments for vacuums. Dust extractors seem to sell very cheaply on Facebook marketplace too but it's all extra space, running costs and unwanted noise isn't it? It's also suspicious just how many dust extractors are for sale. They must be expensive to run, annoying or something else the way they seem to fall out of favour and get sold for very little.
I'm getting a woodwork shed at the bottom of the garden. Some of my non sparky sheet metal tools might end up there too. Everything has come to a halt in the garage as I've ran out of space.
Once the shed is up, I will form a plan.

Some used timbers, plan is to make it into a kitchen table, just need to research best way of fixing them together, now just need Doris to decide what style legs she wants and get the steel ordered

Without extraction a planer can clog up & ruin the finish on your wood. To extract wood shavings you need a lot of airflow & a vacuum will be unlikely to have enough. You also need large bore pipe otherwise it will block, the standard small cyclones won't be big enough.

This is the one we use at our mens shed, it has a cyclone built in to it. It still clogs occasionally at the fan but it is great at keeping the planer clear.
Took these of the poor seized engine bits this morning.
I fancy snaffling a pair of the pistons & rods - they are only scrap now.
