Hi,
I got this at a auction. I don't know the history of it. It has a small drill chuck in it, and the motor is 1/3 hp and it's 1725 rpm. The spindle is 3 inches long and it has a 1" diameter shaft. It has a 3/4" bolt going through the mount and it has a bushing with thick plate 'washers' at the top and bottom.
What would this tool be used for ? Could I use this somehow on my 9 in. Logan lathe? The spindle is tight (no play anywhere) and the entire mount is very rigid and stiff. I guess with different pulleys I could get it up to several thousand rpm, but I don't know the limitations of the v belt system. I have also heard that a chuck is limited in it's torque capabilities. I don't know what to do with it yet, although I think it could be useful if I was able to adapt it so it fit in place of my top slide, and use the power feed of the lathe to move it precisely.
I would be great if I could use this for slotting or with a flycutter bit to make things flat-I would have to use another way to attach tools than the chuck.
