After some research, I stand corrected. I have used old files for hand chisles and gouges without taking into account the micro-cracks that the original process may have introduced. Even annealing the file will not remove these cracks. I stand, once again, corrected and in gratitude of those with superior knowledge. :)

Intersting looking machine. How do you change speeds. What happens when your shirt tail gets caught in the pulley :eek: There's one on Craigslist today for $1,000, yes that's a thousand.

First off, WHY wood ya have loose clothing on when operating machinery?:eek: Speed changes are accomplished by moving the belt up and down the pulleys.

Change which set of pulleys the belt uses.

That's why all my clothes fasten with quick-release tabs in the back.

Why on which part, the motor or flywheel?

The motor because I might actually try to lathe some metals on this thing. I've heard the power is one of the short-comings of the 10ER as well.

The flywheel, I may remove because it might cause more stress on the machine if something went wrong.

On most DC motors, there are fins/ridges on the flywheel needed for cooling the motor. If not, then you would be OK. Many treadmill motors are not continious duty motors which can overheat and destroy the motor and controller when operated too long.

I doubt that would be a problem.

Now as for bits etc. . .

10ER 'power' due to small motors and single v-belt.
