Nice! |
Red Wing?? What / who is that?? Well ask a dental lab, and they'll know right away. It is limited to tools about 2 inches in diameter due to the 1/4 hp motor, and single phase. It works a treat with small tools.

I was getting ready to start reassembly of these glue clamps, when I remembered it out there, all alone in the shop. I stopped by my local mom and pop hardware store and started looking.... And found these really fine stainless wire wheels. I bought 2, then lost them in the jungle in the front yard. Went back, bought 2 more, and found the others walking back into the house...... Really? I mean, R E A L L Y??????

4 of them, and the little plastic bushing is PERFECT |
Okay, I have a lifetime supply now. No problemo. They even fit on the buffer side of the motor!! Sweet! I didn't have to make an arbor for the 3/32" collet on the other side.
Prettied up the spindles..... Now on to the thimbles.... Hmmmmm..... someone was trying to get these apart, and used a grinder to bark up the ends.... No wonder I had such trouble getting them apart.....

Thanks Bubba |
So much so that I marked up the tightest one. Well, tough. I'll have to live with it. Run the tap through the threads to make sure they are clean and formed right.

The pliers ate right through that sweatshirt I had wrapped around it. Doh! |
And..... One spindle won't thread in. I need to Higbee this thing.

Are those square thread? Rolled? |
And I'll use a needle file in the lathe to do that. They haven't made my Tormach yet. Because I haven't ordered it!! Man is this fun or what?!?!?!? Yeah, it's "or what" all right!!!
