Now that is cool Frazer!!! Congrats on a great runner!!!! Even though it is a double i am still counting it as a single engine!!! :big: Andrew

th_wwp What collet system did you use Mosey? I am getting a bit tired of beating the bar... :big: Andrew

Another option is to install a VFD and run the mill off the original 3 phase motor. That is how i have mine hooked up and i can get it from a few RPM's up to full speed with a twist of a knob. Lots of low down torque available. Andrew

Hi All, Been a bit busy buying a new car... Finally i have my one small car that goes like the clappers!!! 2012 VW Golf 2.5L! Andrew

Hi All, I managed to pick this 5C collet chuck up for a really good price! It all works very smoothly and is made by a machinist from castings. There are two issues i have with it is: the bore is not very smooth. And it has a slight runout. Is there a way to hone it on the lathe to get...
