Those wheels are just awesome! I can't imagine how you can do that on a manual lathe.

Just awesome Steve. I'm an aspiring hobby machinist with a little 7x10 lathe and Taig CNC mill - haven't logged many hours on either but spending more time lately as I come up with reasons to fabricate. Your work is an inspiration for me to keep at it. Thanks for sharing and keep it coming. Joe

Can the wheels be made custom in other (bigger) scale? Like 1-5,6??

Dan , yes , 1 of the reasons for going to cnc equipment . I have a jig right now but all the drilling is starting to take its toll on the jig . I'm wanting to do a variety of sizes , patterns and hole shapes . And I wont be limited to just wheels :D
