I just take, or make a swag as to the size & cut it there, so I can make the hub, and I can bore the pulley for a tight press fit on the hub. ATM I need my bandsaw back amoung the living. Chicken v egg as I need to saw about a half inch thick piece off a block of 7075-T651 as a starter piece to take to the mill. And I'm not going to try that with a 2.75 inch hole in the table around the blade, nor am I going to wreck another Woodslicer blade trying. I have a genuine hacksaw blade coming, finer teeth so less grabiness I hope.
So today I'm working on the box for the BoB and motor electronics, looks like hell as it was out in the weather for at least 40 years before I acquired it 5 or 6 years ago, but when closed, its swarf proof, so it can be hung on the back of this Sheldons "stand". Wired up enough to at least see the power led on the BoB light up. Next I bring the computer and monitor down from the shop, adjust the networking config for fixed ip, then copy TLM's config en-mass to that box & see what I have to do to the .ini and .hal files to make it run stuff. And at some point, I've a new, all leds shop light that I need to hang over it. That will be a Rube Goldberg rig as I either put some pipe stands off the lathe to hold a cross beam, or put some sheet metal hangdowns off the garage door trackage so the under lever of the door opener can pass above it. The lathe is sitting about 18" inside the closed door and the door has to pass thru the "tunnel". I am inclined to think pipe stands as that will also let me build a place for the computer & monitor that should be high enough most of the swarf will miss it. I intend to get x&z moving before I swap the motor out and I've not found a good place for the spindle invertor yet. The box with the rest of the electronics doesn't have enough room for it. And I've rattled long enough, I need to go see what the mailman has brought me today. Thanks Andy.
