You mention in the video that you change...Hi Ben, <br /><br />You mention in the video that you changed the light to LED.<br />All the lathes and any rotary machinery comes with an incandescent lighting. It's a safety feature. It's even not allowed (at least in my country) to have fluorescent lighting in machine shops because of the flicker (except when they use 3 phase connection and one light for each phase hence at least one CFL is on at any moment = no flicker)<br />Flicker cause the illusion of no movement when the rotation of the chuck synchronizes to the flicker of light. So it's hard to do precise work and also very dangerous. And also the color rendering index of halogen lights and incandescent lights are far superior to any LED or CFL.<br /><br />just a thought. be safe :)<br /><br />smikismikinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401164737462963207.post-72241842632669222552011-06-16T17:26:03.493-07:002011-06-16T17:26:03.493-07:00Nice review, I would love to make the same transit...Nice review, I would love to make the same transition myself!<br /><br />Just a tip, you should run the spindle without the jaws tightened down on the chuck. There have been a few horror stories about the jaws coming off.<br /><br />Keep up the great work!Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929987864000528670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401164737462963207.post-84301273201886411932011-06-04T15:33:09.959-07:002011-06-04T15:33:09.959-07:00Hey Ben. nice lathe!
