Window roller upper knobs My plastic window roller upper knobs have been broken forever, so I've been using nuts and a screw. Time to fix that.

Procharger Pulley Finished! Ok, the pulley is DONE. The keyway cutter was flexing so I welded it to a 1/2" thick piece of steel. I also gave the tool a more aggressive point. Finished keyway I tested the fit on an electric motor with a 7/8" shaft. The fit is even better than the...

Did some more work today, almost finished up the project. The reamer seemed to work out nicely. The bore is very smooth and appears to be precisely sized at 7/8" diameter. I also finished out the pulley grooves tonight. I was having some trouble getting the groove spacing exact since the...

#2 morse taper In the very first pic u can see the lead screw (covered by black sheet metal), and the half nut lever and threading dial. The lathe comes with a bunch of change gears so u can make any combination to get from 11 tpi to 56 tpi or something.

I am not a machinist And the only prior (minimal) lathe experience I have have had is using a mini lathe for really basic and non critical stuff at an old job. Anyway, I've been wanting to get a lathe forever because I realized how much it would expand my capabilities in making things. I didn't...

Post a pic, can it be TIG welded? I so I might have time in the next 2 weeks to look at it.

a sheet metal shop can do this for probably $20 or so.
