You ALMOST have to ask.....Just how big was the lathe they used to make THIS one? DD

Also I was privileged to meet some of the nicest people I have met in years, everyone in Iowa was really friendly, It would have been a lot more difficult without their help , a local equipment rental company referred me to a contractor who had a skid steer fork lift located within 2 blocks of where we were working , It was almost like my hometown 50 years ago, always ready to help out any way they could.
many thanks to the folks in Iowa .

I'm also glad your home safe.

I look forward to the pictures you will post and the joy that you'll have when it first the spindle and you can use it.

I hope that you can post the speed that the spindle turns, too.

Congrats

Now a days, they use T5's. Much more versatile.

I can think of a better use for those T5 transmissions.
