G'day,

just a couple of snaps of my home grown drive setup & mounting. Motor is a 2750rpm hence the layshaft. The layshaft will always run at less than the motor speed - I just used the Taig pulleys on the layshaft drive cos they were easily available and reasonably priced, might paint the "overdrive" pulley sections red to remind me to stay away from that zone.

Need to make a cover for those motor connections as well !! :eek:

cheers,
Bob

I use one of those lathes to makes pens with. I will try to remember and take a pic and post it. I also have a box full of parts to build another one but no Bed.
Dang another project I was trying to forget about--------:huh:
Love your set-up
