[attachimg=1] I found this copy of Model Craftsman Magazine from April of 1939 with what appears to be an Early Guilder Lathe. #Post#: 60354-------------------------------------------------- Re: New Project By: txlabman Date: February 14, 2024, 10:40 am --------------------------------------------------------- Very cool. Thanks for posting. #Post#: 60640-------------------------------------------------- Re: New Project By: AirSpyder Date: February 20, 2024, 6:35 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Hello, Small update I reassembled the newly painted disc and table for the sander and gave it a try, it actually worked pretty well for the lower rpms I was running. [attachimg=1] I also drilled a hole in a piece of aluminum. I will need a better selection of speeds if I want to do any real work with this tool. By "real work" I mean use it as it was intended, some light turning and wood working to construct a model boat or other small model.

You know what would be perfect for this would be a Sherline variable-speed DC motor. This is what I used to power my die filer: [attachimg=1] Zero to 6000 RPM, and a healthy torque curve. Of course, originality goes right out the window...[attachimg=2] Paula #Post#: 60643-------------------------------------------------- Re: New Project By: AirSpyder Date: February 20, 2024, 8:04 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the suggestion Paula, I'll stick with pulleys and keep it closer to original. ;) #Post#: 60658-------------------------------------------------- Re: New Project By: RichSteamTx Date: February 21, 2024, 9:29 am --------------------------------------------------------- Man, that thing is beyond cool - I wouldn't know how to use half of it but boy would it be cool to have. People would think I was some kind of a skilled machinist having one of those! ***************************************************** (DIR) Previous Page (DIR) Next Page
