Date: March 10, 2007 08:18PM I made this lathe out of a couple of first generation Makita cordless drills (the kind without replaceable batteries). It was originally designed for turning floats for steelhead fishing. I have just finished rebuilding it with a longer bed to turn cork. The dirll was originally powered by 7.2 volt nicad batteries, but is now powered by a 12 volt power supply. There are also a pair of 12 volt fans from old computer power supplies for cooling the motor. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
