    If it's going on a mini lathe the ER40's are working out great.

    Looks good Tony, But the threaded part must be in the center of two non threaded ends. I can do the center drilling and also cut in the key slot. I just don't have any way to cut the threads. The threads look really good though!!

    Hey Tony, Do you feel like another project for me? I don't have any way to make this worm gear at the moment. I can't single point standard threads right now. My lathe has a metric lead screw and the only way I know of to make this is by single point threading.

    The last thing I got done was the spindle itself. A little challenging as it's 2.5" long, with a through hole of 3/32". The spindle is made out of 5/16 CRS. It turned out great so far. Every thing fits very nicely and turns smoothly and the through hole is on the money. I still need to put the...

    Next was the drive gear that gets pressed into the wedding cake, " step pully". All these parts also have through holes drilled in them.

    Next was one of the drive gears. I went with Joe's method on this one and inlayed it a 1/4" to the step pully.

    Ok, I spent all day yesterday on just a couple of parts. I got some of the spindle assembly basically done. It took me a while to figure out how I wanted to tackle the wedding cake, or "step pully". I finally decided to work off of the large end. I made sure that end was flat, then trued it to...

    Yep, it has the same 3 bolt pattern and relief that my lathe spindle has. It fit right on. I made sure it was a bolt on fit before getting it. I'm pretty sure they make the same chuck for the ER32 as well, with a couple different styles for different lathes. I almost got the C5 style, but I'd...
