Id like to build my own ww lathe. Its got to be small ( turn up to 5 or
6 inch pieces), tabletop version, but sturdy. I have the washing machine motor waiting, and will weld a base (or use black piping. havent yet decided). The rest will be metal (no wood on this one). Questions are:
- anyone know of an online source (Im not from the US) to get the basic parts (only essentials such as bearings and...)?
- What parts do I need (and dont say pillow block and such. Not familiar with the terms unless you describe them. Sorry)?
- Can I manage with a single speed lathe or is it imperative to have a pulley system (and then what parts are required)? Thanks again, Max
