| Variator for small lathe |

| BillTodd:
Not much of an update.... After adjusting the backlash and topping up the oil (lucky we had some old tellus at work for some other machine ) , I mounted the Kopp and motor on a U chassis to raise it and the belt to clear the headstock. Nothing is bolted down yet as I may try to hifde the enormous power train under the bench top. |
| BillTodd:
Small update: I have a small pile of 4040 extrusion with which I can make a stand for the lathe and motor. Just a mock up ATM to check height |
| BillTodd:
I've settled on the basic shape. The black motor plate determines the 600mm width of the frame. . I have to add a counter shaft and pulleys to get the drive up to the headstock. |

Bill, Good to see the Kopp being put to good use. Phil. |
| BillTodd:
Yes Phil, it's taken a while :) |
