What about a 1/8 carbide burr or ball endmill? Spin at 1K or so?

Making progress and then two steps back! I was tapping 8-32 holes for a button head to retain the bearing and my hand slipped off the stinking tap wrench and broke off my tap! Any suggestions as to removing this broken off tap? I have way too much time into one of these to just scrap it...

Jay, I looked on the Kalamazoo belt sander I have and it is reversible. There is a tag showing wiring diagrams and specifically said what wires to swap to reverse rotation. I will give it a try when I get the spinner done to determine what if and what mods are necessary. Was able to mill the...

Looking good Jay! Looks like a pretty nice sander you had stashed in a corner...its great you found a use for it! I picked up a steel bar for my spinner. Just need to machine the brackets and centers. I'm making mine pretty simple with .750" thick 6061 plate and held in place by set screws...

Jay, I am not really sure. The motor is a baldor and can be wired for 220 I know. I'm guessing it can be reversed...I don't know much about electric motors though. Haven't had much time to mess around with it nor start on a spinner...ordered bearing though. It is a nice unit...if barrel...

Head to YouTube and search "Alex Jones peirs Morgan". Awesome!

Got my Kalamazoo belt sander the other day. Still need to order some 600 grit and finer and scotch brite belts for it. Also made a notion to get started on a barrel spinner. Should work pretty nice...hopefully. Will keep the grit away from the lathe at least...

With a 1x42, all kinds of belts are available from 3M...600, 1200, Leather and scotchbrite belts.

Enco had a 20% off everything and free shipping yesterday and ordered one a Kalamazoo 1x42 belt sander for $207 shipped to my door! Will come in handy for all kinds of things and the nice thing is, its made in USA and belts are cheap and easy to change.

Isn't the ITAR BS required with a type 7?

I'd look at this spinner opposed to the Brownells version. Much better quality. You could always build one as well... http://www.longriflesinc.com/products.html

But how are you finding the curve? Are you dialing between centers buy indicating the chamber end by using the muzzle side center(spider) and then indexing high side of muzzle?

How do you index a barrel?

pics? lol

Or go the Dasher route with an 8 twist...

Get an 8 twist and run heavier 105 or something and you'll have a 100-1000 yard varminter!

Jackie...you mentioned making a bushing for your sizer...what type of material did you use? I'd imagine they can be made out of oil or water hardening drill rod?

Thanks Scott. I actually did plug it in and shaped some carbide tipped tool bit and cut right through the carbide. Made a very nice finish on them. The previous owner seemed to coat the wheel down with a huge amount of wd-40 or some other protectant and seems to be saturated into the wheel...

Mike...thanks for the additional heads up. I'm not going to buy it, but what if a table was built and a cross feeding drill press vise was utilized so you can move in x, y and figure out a way to move in z direction?

Thanks a ton Dave. I'm glad I inquired about it here...I was close to committing to a deal! I'm hoping to find one on craigslist or a local auction. What am I looking for? I'm sure that question warrants a more complex answer!
