My badge is a lot less cool than Dave's. I now have badge envy. What next...

Looks are skin deep @7milesup, it's what's inside that counts

The bands arrived today.
I’m not sure what the two spools are for.
I don’t recall seeing any parts like these.
They have a pretty hard rubber between the two washers.
Maybe some some kind of bump stop for the table stops?
Edit: they fit over the studs that connect the bands to the table.
I believe they are to cushion the band from the abrupt stop when the table is reversed.

Had a few moments today to work on the grinder.
There was a pretty good buildup of crud on the table handwheel so I took it off for cleaning. I knew the hub that rotated the table worked off a gear from the handwheel shaft but I wasn't expecting this arrangement. The handwheel connects to a short axle with a small gear which drives this larger ring gear (I'm sure I don't have the terms right) which is attached to the hub shaft.
Quite an elegant arrangement.
