    2x72 grinder build

    I built one a few years back. Best and most used piece I have ever built. It started with 1HP motor I was given, then made mostly with bits I had laying around.

    Members non stock cars

    Wow, there is some awesome stuff here! A lot better than I've seen on some hot rod forums lately. Thanks for sharing guys. Yes, share what you have. My thoughts were any vehicle you play with, cause we all know they don't stay stock.

    Standard Modern Series 2000

    I'm in Selby and have the same lathe. I'm late to the post as I see you've gotten it apart already. I had an oil leak at the headstock on mine. It's just an O ring which I got from a local hydraulic shop. I'd recommend replacing it while you're there.
