Yup, gears are so yesterday.
I have replaced the 'standard' ratio on all my lathes with a toothed belt drive to the gearbox.

Sounds good, do you think that would fit on my lathe (Seig C2) :scratch:

awemawson:
Toothed belts are available in an amazing array of pitches and sizes:

Taken me two days but I've finally got FORTH assembled and burned onto an Arduino. Guess it's not an Arduino anymore since the bootloader and everything else is changed in flash. It now has a real OS and language onboard. It is its own computer. And a cool retro one at that. I'm back in the early 80's with it and enjoying it!

Now Steve my first male menopausal event was celebrated re-building a motor cycle from my youth, and my second was to buy an Austin Healey 3000 ....
.... but you, oh no, it has to be a retro computer :lol:
vtsteam:
From what you say about the Healy costs these days, that's out for me. I'd prefer a Morgan +4 with a TR3 engine, anyway. Any availble in my price range of say $50 over there?
Guess I'll have to settle for a $10 Arduino, then. :lol:
