Finally got it back to working condition and I am very happy with it now the extra speed and power has made a world of difference. Once I get a new wheel and get it balanced right the finish should be nice.

Looking forward to seeing the latest version

Apart from a new wheel and some guards your pretty much seeing it. I do have to work out a balancing fixture.

Looks to be working well, you must be very pleased. What infeed depth were you using in the video? It seemed rather a heavy cut, you need to be careful not to overheat the work. It'll expand locally thus taking more off and leave an uneven finish when it cools. At the extreme the work expands, makes the cut heavier and burns the work. Amhik.

Oops, I have a temporary browser problem with Flash and Youtube, and didn't realize your post included a video. Hope to have things fixed shortly...

It wasnt taking as much as it looks, I lowered the head with four turns of the handle which I think is around .01mm but I need to rig up a dial to see the exact movement per turn. I might do that tomorrow after work because it has been so long in the making I have totally forgot how many teeth are on the worm gear, sure it was around 80 but cant be sure.

I have a few little problems one good one potentially bad. The good one is that my wifes work has been having a clear out, I was given a metal cabinet and wait for it A 16" ECLIPSE MAGNETIC TABLE  now this is too much bulk for the existing setup so a redesign will have to be on the cards now. The other problem is that a stray bit of swarve got onto the left/right controller board and blew a track . I just hope this is all it did.
Couldnt look at it this weekend however as I had to get some lights fitted into grand daughters doll house.
