Headstock spindle for my home made lathe

[Claudio HG]

This is the part 4 of the series of videos showing my metal lathe that I'm making at home. In this part the spindle for the headstock. The spindle is made of components that I designed myself and ordered to a machine shop they made for me. It is a critical part of the machine because the required rigidity.
With hindsight the design could have been better (as always happens ).
Please leave your comments in the section below the video or here ...it could take some time before I am able to reply, so be patient.
Cheers, Claudio.
