Interesting, that looks like a different set up from the current Sherline threading attachment. I wonder if it was meant to be done under power or just hand turning by the pulley, I don't see a crank.

I think this is the crank from watching the video.


Lathe arrives later this week so I will know then.

The anticipation mounts :) . Been following this thread with interest.
 
It arrived today. I will up-load some photos. It can 100% cut a thread and can be used for auto feed. I am missing the gears but I will track them down or make them. The motor works but is stuck at max speed, I will make a variable speed control. It is tiny.
 
It's in quite good nick, all very tight and nice. The bracket the motor is on was bent so I carefully bent that back. Just waiting on the belt. The motor is a sewing machine motor.
 
Does the sewing machine motor need a special kind of speed control ? Sorry if it's shown in the video , the filters block all of them here at work
