Hello from Nevada

Thanks for the welcome guys! My lathe is in working condition now. I installed a variable speed motor, a Harbor Freight chuck, a QCTP, and a Taig tailstock. It is quite versatile.



I'm working on an indexer for the lathe. It will replace the nut on the drive pulley. It is made out of a platter from a hard drive and a Unimat face plate. I need to make another platter with a multiple of 6 holes, and tap the faceplate instead of using the nuts.






The mill is also in running condition. I made a motor mount for it so I could use a sewing machine motor. The plan is to make a vertical feed for the thing using a Unimat feed screw.
