Hi Eric. Nice to see someone else tackling mini lathe Modding! :clap: Custom motor mount, definitely. Even if it's only a cradle to hold it more firmly. :thumbup: Guess you've already seen my Mods....... http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,7560.0.html I can also thoroughly recommend the "gearing" down pulley/ belt mod. I do most of my machining in Hi gear, now. Good luck. Keep the pics coming! :) David d |

Do you reckon your old motor will fit in the space provided, lengthwise? ... --- End quote --- Hi Andy, Yup, the motor I have does fit. The space is actually the same in size, just different mounting holes. Eric |

Hi David, I have been thinking about re-gearing it. If at least only to be able to use standard metric metric belts. I am also planning on modding the cross slide. Tapered gibs and perhaps the extended travel cross slide conversion from LMS. I would like to get the realbull 4" spindle as well. Eric |

Looking forward to following this thread, too! :thumbup: Any plans for the old bed casting? Might make an interesting project in itself. |
