Got a call from my Dad last night, He did get a couple more rims done. The problem he had while skip cutting the od, caused the spindle drive pinion to fail, about 3 teeth are missing.
I bought this lathe 12 years ago, an Atlas Craftsman 101-21200. Finding parts for the is tough.
Since the pinion is cast onto the spindle pully, I am going to try to repair the damaged teeth. Still trying to locate the part.
So the rims are on hold for now.
