I do in the near future.
Just a few more odds and ends to take care of first.
Today I mounted the huge face plate up on the lathe and worked on it.
The specs said no more than 900 RPM.
You think!!!
When I put it on some time ago it caused the lathe to wobble big time at 600 RPM.
So today I put it back on and trued it up the face and the outside edge.
Outside edge first.
Been putting it off because I was scared to do it.
There never was a register mark on it to match it to the lathe.
Once I faced it off and trued up the outside edge it runs like a champ at even 1000 RPM.
Not going to run that fast but it is good to know it is more balanced now.
Plus I put a register mark on it so it will go back in the same place every time.
