I made it for engraving lettering on labels etc - I used the smallest centre drill that I could find as the cutter.

It seems it was 20 years ago !

That's really nice Andrew!  :thumbup: :thumbup: :clap:

I wonder if the one I have is for engraving? That would make sense because of the size. I'll have to dig it out and get a photo of it to post.

Meanwhile, I started in on the adapter ring for the 500 watt spindle.

Uh...... first attempt @ 16 IPM 8000 RPM and .020" DOC ....not so great. For some reason it seemed to wander sideways in the cut. I think the bit was flexing. The spindle and mount were really solid and no detectable play, before or after. It managed one pass, got back on track, then took a detour again, this time into double the depth of cut, which broke it.
