Pm-1127 Tail Stock "update"

[lpeedin]

Got a deal on some 6" cast hand wheels a while back. Didn't take much to adapt one to the tail stock. Free spins like a "big" lathe.

Great Idea.

Nice mod. Cheap and easy, but looks like it makes a big difference.

Nice upgrade on the tailstock, I'll bet it has a nice feel to it over the smaller diameter wheel.

I am loving this about as much as any "upgrade" I've done to any of my equipment. The rounded outer circumference is very comfortable to my old hands.

Nice. I hate the aluminum hand wheels on my lathe right now. Would like some nice cast iron hand wheels like that.

Yes, I know I can buy them from mcmaster, but they are not cheap.

Grizzly also has very nice cast Wheels. I not to long ago bought a 6" and an 8" . Both are very good . The price is also not bad.
