Mini Brass Lathe Solenoid powered

[flyingtractors1]

In an earlier thread I had published build pictures and a video of my treadle powered Miniature Brass Lathe. I have now figured out how to power it with a solenoid and moment arm arrangement. Ralph

Thank you for your interest, Mitch. I didn't build from drawn plans and haven't drawn any up subsequently. But I published a build thread / history in this forum in February 2012 under the title of "miniature lathe". Hope that you can find it and that it is helpful. I updated it more recently after I powered it with a solenoid and momentarm configuration. I could render a quick sketch if you require additional help. Ralph
