It's a Grizzly mini wood lathe ...but not for long. The "SK" lathe->pickup winder conversion is afoot. Seems fine but with one flaw. The faceplate as shipped is visibly out of true. So whaddya expect for $140 US? -drh -- |

You think I want cast iron dust all over something that handles magnetic thingies? sheesh. Where'd you get your 1-1/4" diameter UHMW polyethylene rod stock? Steel tubing is ~.55 per inch at metal mart and the nearest plastic (Nylon) is twice that. McMaster-Carr sez acetal copolymer is the stuff ... for a mere $5.70/foot. argh. The steel pipe is looking good. -drh -- |

Oh, And cut down the existing rails (I didn't because I hate giving up it's other possible use) But it'll be easier. Also, make a metal base for the tailstock, mine has a little play (but only when excess pressure is applied) |
