Small Project Distraction
I picked up 1-1/2 old Southbend Lathe tool post grinders from a fellow Zoner and started fixing them up. Not a bad little project. I still need to finish grinding, clean up and paint but it seems to work great.
I'm not much of a welder but I scabbed together a belt and wheel guard from some flat plate I had laying around. I cut strips out of the plate the formed them for the belt and wheel guard portions then welded.
I took one of my messy shop with welding stuff scattered....
Here goes....

Finished another pulley....
Just waiting on the broaches. They are suppose to be in Wednesday but of course I'll be out of town.
I couldn't stand it so I re-did that spindle pulley.
Question - Spindle Threads
I'm going to have to do some trimming somewhere. The splines on the spindle only stick up out of my pulley by a 1/4". I see where I can easly trim another 0.375" off and that will allow 0.500" worth of threads and a little clearance on my Spindle Nut.
This is the nut/hub my PDB will pull against. I think with 1/2" worth of fine threads and a shoulder for the nut to butt against when tight, and a set screw ought to handle the pressure okay. Opinions?
My only "other" option is to machine some off the shoulder on the bottom of the spindle cartridge but I rather not do that unless I have to.
