    How easy or difficult to remove spindle pulley?

    I've never worked on one of those but I'd sure be getting a closer look at that circular nut looking thing in the middle. Is there 4 notches and maybe 2 holes for some kind of pin wrench ?

    Wheel stud fatigue failure from insufficient torque

    Yes ! I drag raced for many years, did my own engine assembly, bought a rod bolt stretch gauge and learned to use it. IIRC, the stretch spec for the rod bolts I used (ARP) was about .006" ( there was an acceptable range). I tried for ~ .0055", rather eye-opening to watch the dial on the DTI...

    Garbage Steel

    Sure, I've picked up a few scrap pieces -- bit it did "cost me" once -- it was some kind of pre-hard, put it in the bandsaw to cut it -- killed a blade. More than once; being the "thrifty fellow" I am, I've bought hot rolled rather than pay the extra cost of cold rolled for a piece I was going...

    Is Taper Attachment worth it?

    Never thought of the power feed / threading option with the taper attachment - that would be useful if you really needed it -- though, I do power feed when tapering long shafts (offset method). Regarding attach / detach of the cross slide from the lead screw, my current lathe has 2 X .250" pins...

    Is Taper Attachment worth it?

    I have owned 2 different lathes now for 20+ years - both have / had taper attachments - never used either - and I have cut lots of tapers. Short ones, I cut with the compound, longer ones , offset the tail stock. Taper attachment I currently own looks like it would do ~10" taper. Bit of a chip...

    If you were to buy a rotary table again- would you change it’s size?

    My 8" H/V is about as heavy as I care to lift by hand -- and the 8" doesn't give you a lot of real estate to clamp stuff down on.

    Supplies WD-40 & new VOC requirements

    I've been buying WD40 in US gallon cans for years - re-filling little hand squirters with it. Usually keep a gallon or 2 of Acetone in the shop too - may buy another hand squirter for that to replace the Brake Clean ?

    CA-AB Source for Lead Free Pewter Ingots and cheap hotplate

    IIRC ..... Pewter = Tin ..... I've bought pure Tin Ingots from Western Metals in Calgary. That was about 10 years ago, 1 lb. ingots were ~ $25 each.

    X axis power feed options

    I just bought a "Vevo" off Amazon - $235.00 delivered to my door. Had it about 2 weeks now, so far, I like it. Had choice of 150 ft lbs for $219 or 450 ft lbs for the $235. I took the 450 ft lb. model only because I do quite a bit of rather slow feeding and I thought the 450 might handle the...
