@ScionBoo Yea, tis one of the old tabletop Atlas drill presses with 5 speeds, and 5 gang pulleys. Weighs somewhere around 300 lbs.

Need to get some pix of this stuff, but tis such a pain with the old cam. Need to see about getting a new one sometime soon.

Just finished turning an extension for the mainspring winder so it will do loop end springs. Made it out of the same plastic as the handle.

@ScionBoo And most of that would end up being cut away. The one I have on there now will work, just won’t be able to change speeds.

@ScionBoo Could, but will be a LOT easier to cast a rough one and trim it up with the lathe. Would take a chunk of metal 7″ dia x 4″ long.
