Spoke wheel for threading on the 8x14 lathe

[Rndmann9]

I made this about a month ago. Not sure why I didn't think about posting it. Those who know the 8x12/14 lathe with stock motor is way to fast for threading so I made this to turn the spindle by hand. Useful for centering stock in a four jaw chuck too. It threads onto the back of the spindle shaft.

Here is a shot of it off the machine.

Simple to make with minimum materials.

Nice idea!, but... you take it out before machining, don´t you?.

Yea this is just for manually turning the spendle with out power.

It's easy to unscrew to remove when powered machining in needed.
