Wicked stuff man

It has finally happended I bought me a lathe! Hafco AL-320G.



bonus cute dog for internet points.



Unloading by myself





so purty!

and for some reason I cannot load the ones of it set up.

Got a simular one, but with the power button low, next to the lever that switches direction on the main feed.

A lot safer than on top tough, something you'll want to change.

Righty oh and continuing on.

lathe installed and welded to 10 mm plate soon to be bolted to the floor.



in the vain of crap on workbenches

And what I really wanted to talk about, has anyone had any luck in using angle grinder gears and the stock housing?



turning down the shaft



I did get it in there successfully i have a better pic somewhere.



go to test it much excite! and



Boom 2 dead besc must of gotten a good spike at nats and I lost 2 botbitz ones as well.

That's a great idea to use the original grinder shaft for a brushless motor - its difficult to couple a separate motor to the gearbox. I would think about adding a support bearing at the back so the gearbox isnt supporting the weight of the motor.

brett used grinder gearboxes in IG.
seemed to work ok, but not really up to running (or being hit by) spinners.
Plan-B broke the gearbox as i recall.

The gears themselves can be quite good especially from a 7"-9" grinder, however if your expecting to swing a 2kg spinning bar or disc off them, it explode rather quickly.

Haha no I was thinking pulley to weapon or is this still a no go?

Its more the strength of the gearbox case and the output bearing - if you can add a larger bearing, that would go a long way to battle-hardening the gearbox.

thanks jules he is a big puppy now! I was originally looking at using the gearbox for a FBS but looking at the height of the ntm motor upright makes bugger all difference anyway.

Also does anybody have any links to some full body spinner build diaries? All I have found is the shreddy one and little spinner 4 upgrade
