Thanks, Trevor for yet another mini lathe achievement - and good luck w the controller,
and I'm curious at what torque you'll get in the low end.

BTW: -Seems like your 4" 4-jaw just got a big brother (or have I missed an episode)?
No wonder you changed the spindle bearings - that weight (and length) add-on, and now the side force from the v-belt...

So - what's next: another 10" bed extension? A Norton box to avoid having to dismount the pulley to change gears?

Just keep'em coming!
Cheers
