![]() I don't need an expensive or elaborate chuck to start I was considering just screwing the rims directly to a plywood disk on the faceplate, some holes of which could be re-used for hardware to raise certain tone rings or hoops anyway. Any way to do it with a big rheostat or something?Īny experience with this machine would be appreciated. I just wish I could turn it down a little slower than 700 rpm just for some ops. I saw a website one or two of you guys were involved with that had a pretty cool mod for it, too, making it a bit like a metal lathe. While "pipe bed" lathe wasn't my first choice, coming from a modest machine shop background, beggars can't be choosers and, as pipe beds go, this looks nice with sturdy 4 pipes or more meant for all manner of mods, and cast iron legs (not to mention the beefy head and tail). The only thing that concerned me was, it looks like the minimum speed (without some special differential speed reducer accessory) is 700 rpm ?Īny thoughts, corrections, or "yeah but's" about this, or is that just kinda hairy? ![]() ![]() ![]() A guy within driving distance has a well-maintained Shopsmith Mark V Model 500 for $200. ![]()
