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

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
