Fred, you also predicted lower gasoline prices. Nevertheless, where does one find the "affordable" health care you mention?

If you do another one, bore the hole first and then use a 60 degree live center in the tail stock. This will ensure that the hole is concentric with the turning. The standard live center won't work, so you need the 60 degree center.

Google "5" grinding wheel" and you'll find a couple of 5" wheels made by Norton.

Peter, yes, that's the same guy I was referring to. After looking more closely at the Hobby Machinist site, I believe he had posted some details of his set-up on the Yahoo 9x20 lathe group and that's where I came across the information. I recall seeing the one video where he shows the motor mounted ...
