homemade metal working lathe

The makeup of the 3/4 ton hub dictates the real estate. Using the rough brake drum as a driving surface allowed the use of a 4 groove pulley without changing motor position. The disc with homemade 4 jaw chuck has to be mounted on the hub end where the axle flange would normally bolt up. Thanks for asking. Paul

That’s a homemade chuck? I never would have have known. That’s some nice work. Looks like a store bought unit.
