Wrapper - dryer - lath
It is a combo thing Got no room for the three of them so I made one to do it all

But I guess i mean the finisher / dryer You were talking of keeping the dryer on all night at What I thought was 80-90 RPM I was wrong it is slower

Just thought I would let you know Put a piece of tape over the blank and with a bit hanging off hitting my finger I counted the turns

No biggie

Bill; I added a drying motor to my Clemens on a Swing arm, all I need to do is loosen the drive motor and slip the belt onto the Dryer motor

I got a - poor man lath --
Drill with an adjustable speed handle
Dryer with two pulleys for two speeds
Done some wood with the lath Not bad
Any turning goes out side
A good vacuum cleaning and two coats of finish

Stuff comes out as good as some of the pro's with all there ( expensive ) equipment

Would be nice with at least two laths
two or three wrappers and or dryers Could get more done and not have to clean up so much
O Well Life is a ---Ya know

My first lathe was self built with a Sewing machine motor coupled to the Meat Grinder attachment from a 60 or 70's era Sunbeam counter top Mixer with a Stren Spool for a pully. built quite a few rods with it. (still have the parts!) next was all alum parts bed was from 8020.com everything else was hand made, built about 50-60 Surf and boat rods on that
