Uh, what exactly is this intended for? I read the description, but the mystery remains... If i were to guess, i would say that its a toolpost grinder drive unit, or similar accessory drive, but i cant say for sure... Nicely done machining wise, and i like the purple pen for marking... Much much nicer than blue or black... Lovely contrast colour for sure! Also, dont think that hand turning is stupid... I am considering implementing the foot drive from an old Singer leather sewing machine for my mini lathe, with a clutch and so on, but sometimes you really just want to see the thing moving as slow as possible, and for some parts, as slow as possible is as good as possible... It also allows you to use a wide parting tool to annihilate the chatter marks by running the lathe at 10 rpm with a foot... Not just that, but you can use the same tool, lapped with sub 1 micron diamond in the same manner, to produce mirror finish and absolutely spot on dimensions if you need to... Cutting tool surface finish translates into worked surface, and the slower and more gentle the cut, the better the transfer... It is definitely easier to do, than to drive a lathe at 10krpm with a specialist finishing carbide tool... And much cheaper, as you can lap one parting tool forever and never wear it down more than a few mm over a 100 years, and the foot drive can be found literally on scrap and had for pennies, as people toss out old sewing machines just as much as they do anything else... You just have to tinker with it a bit, as sewing machine uses the drive to run fast, but switching a few bits around isnt nuclear physics... All the best and kindest regards!
It is a means to drive my milling/drilling attachments (cutting/drilling frames), intended for ornamental turning and other stuff too. I had a small motor attached directly to my cutting frame (noisy, low power, in the way and only suited to power that specific thing ) this one is universal (I can use it with all my cutting/drilling frames) has lots of power, speed control, it's out of the way and very quiet
@@botavictor5832 aaah, so that is what you meant by cutting frame... The symbols completely went over my head... But in general i wasnt far from the truth... Nice work, the system looks well done!
Holy moly whatever it is that looks amazing!
Is very good 👍
