I too have a fat flywheeled Webster, and that fat flywheel lets it idle down to a very low speed. Very good job.---Brian

Ross Donelly Member Joined Jul 9, 2018 Messages 11 Reaction score 32 Location california Sep 24, 2018 #11 Flywheel weighs about 7 pounds. It was made from an offcut from the steel yard. I don't have a power hacksaw so I figured I'd just leave it at that size. Had to pull all sorts of tricks to fit it on my little lathe.
