I was sitting around one morning and came across the website of Dale Winburn (Winburn.com) and looked closely at how he fabricated a bowl lathe. I found it to be interesting thing to play around with the possibilty of making one and thought i would be a fun project. I have written to him to ask a few questions about the sizes of things he used when he built it.
There is less than $100 in steel and would use box beam for the main upright
Dealerselectric.com - has motor/VSD packages $400 - thinking of 5 hp
I post this on AAW also but im reaching out to others that may not see it or belong to AAW
My question is really to communicate with others that have done the same - I have questions about the height - spindle with taper - motor size - variable speed hook up etc..........
Below is a picture form Dales website showing the one he made............................
Yell if you a interest in this area and thank you ahead of time for any help
