Toolpost Power Spindle

Looks good, Are you making a tool post grinder?
 
Looking good, Cascao,

Eddy, I suspect it'll be a milling spindle, big taper rollers and Sturdy Construction - a TPG needs smaller lighter bearings to handle the RPM (e.g. "magneto bearings" here in the UK), particularly for internal grinding where you could be running 20-30,000 RPM.
 
I will use an 1800 rpm 1/4CV motor.
With MT 02 arbor, my plans was to use a small chuck from drill press and MT 02 collets I have.
 
Great progress this weekend

Milled the keyway and 17mm wrench

Are you going to make some sort of indexer for the lathe spindle?
 
I actually saw that, but didn't connect the two. Will the mill spindle be heigth adjustable?
 
The idea is to clamp the spindle with "U" bolts in slots milled on a horizontal plate welded on the base plate shown here

But, if I can't mill the slots, That's my plan B: https://flic.kr/p/zZDH29 [nice 3D movie from my study] tabs behind horizontal plate.

The motor have his own foot.
Maybe I will add one tensioner pulley after. And of corse a belt protection
 
Milling the slots previosly done on angle grinder
