Hi Ern,
May have a suggestion, but may I ask what you wish to do with this item.

Working on alternatives to the exxy Tormek system.

This is to trial honing options. In partic with MDF discs. Wld also be handy to have a wire brush option.

A slow speed bench grinder might also work but I'm short of space, & it wld cost a lot more.

Have found one in the US but postage will be exxy.

G'day, if you have a hard time sourcing one, I'd be more than happy to whip one up on the metal lathe for you. All I'd need is dimensions, really. Cost would be minimal for something like that. If you're interested, shoot me a pm. Cheers!

Good onya Dordge. Have a greenie!!!

Is this for a dedicated second lathe? If not, an outboard substitute hand wheel might be more suitable.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi again Ern,
If you have an old No.2 M/T Drill Bit, you could use some real heat on it to turn it into Mild Steel, cut the drill bit off, machine a hole, then thread it. Should be Close.
I use similar, but I use a Jacobs chuck with No.2 M/T to hold my pieces. 4in. Wire Wheel, 3in. Sanding Gear,
4in. Buffing Wheel, & anything else I can think of. VS is handy.

Thanks for the ideas folks.

Durdge, PM sent.

Not sure if these short threaded #2MTs, which I have used for other purposes, might provide a solution. Would require further adaptation.

Just a thought. Some of my smaller faceplates have threaded centres for centre screws e.g. the <st1><st1>Screw</st1> <st1>Point </st1><st1>Chuck here</st1></st1>, thread is about 1/2". One of those could be readily adapted.

Thanks Neil.

Some poss'ies there.

A drawbar at tang end thru the spindle wld prob be a sensible thing to have too.

Yessum, saves some embarrassing moments. DAMHIKT.

heh heh ...

some rouge applied to the cheek might improve the mug but prob not at 1000 rpm

I bought nuts from a industrial fastener supply to fit two lathe spindles. The 1 inch X 8 threads per inch about $2 US. The 33 mm X 3.5 mm pitch were about $27 US for 5. $9 each / price break at 5.

I weld / screw / glue all sorts of things to them and they thread on my spindles.

I also have turned 125 mm disks from 25mm decking with a a recess in the back to grab with a chuck and glued sandpaper to the front. Nice flat surface for sharpening a skew.

Hi ern did you manage to get a lathe arbor yet ..........this is one i made if you are interested.

Thanks guys.

yeah, a kind forumite is making one up to my regrettably changing specs
