I am almost embarrassed to show you this, but it has worked so well for many hours over many years that I guess it is worth having a look at. The cord from the spring, around the pot knob to the foot pedal is a very fine nylon covered? multi-strand cable, but lots of other things should work. I...

Whether cutting in normal rotation or reverse rotation, will your holder keep the cutting edge of the tool on the radius line of the spindle rotation? I don't think the same grind can be used for rotation in both directions. The cutting tip needs to be on the radial line and all the tool angles...

No, the washer just has two tabs on the ID that engage two slots on the hub. I am leaning to the removable loctite approach, as I expect that I may never have to remove the nut once I true and balance the wheel.

Bought a collection of tools that included a surface grinder wheel hub that fits my SG spindle, but the wheel securing nut has a right hand thread rather than the left hand thread of all my other hubs. I know the R and L hand threading is to keep the nut from loosening when torque is applied to...

Looks like a gap bed lathe with the gap filler missing.

I have never felt comfortable drilling stones either. Sounds like you missed my earlier comments about adding five minute epoxy to both sides of the stone on the "side" that is light when balancing, then removing some epoxy with a sanding drum on a dremel tool or some other way until the stone...

In my experience, the arbor does not have a recess. Your picture is for the wheel mounting hub that does have a recess. I suspect that this makes the hub easier to remove when changing wheels. It is preferred to have a dedicated hub for each wheel, so that once trued and balanced, wheel/hub...

While this may be helpful, I prefer a lever operated tailstock because it provides a great feel for the drilling process and allows quick swarf clearance when drilling deep holes. I salvaged a tailstock from a Big (to me) Japanese cnc lathe found at a salvage yard, sawed off the original mount...

Excellent idea. I will have to give it a quick try to see how true I can get it to run. Tried to Google "ablative die stones" but Google has no matches.

The double ended rotating arm is carrying profiled diamond cutters on each end. Below that is an indexable rotating collet that holds the bangle (bracelet). by rotating the bangle around its axis under the cutter the circumference can be decorated. All kinds of patterns can then be made by...
