Jeweleers polishing lathe.

[jakesrocks]

For those who might be interested, I thought the metal smithing area was appropriate place for this. An ebay seller has several jewelers llathes for sale at what I consider a pretty decent price. I ordered one myself a couple hours ago. www.ebay.com/itm/200975302695?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Around 1970 I nabbed a double shafted washing machine motor. Served well.
Now I want a foot peddle to control it.
