RE: Lathe for conversions
Looks good Capt,n. Just be careful with what looks to be the 5 or 6 inches extending from the chuck. Take too healthy of a cut and the shaft will wander and concentricity will be lost. Better to work closer to the headstock. I always turn my adapters so that the hub face is closest to the chuck. That way I can leave it chucked for all operations except knurling and eliminate any chance of runout unless I screw something up. This is especially true when I bore a taper. Keep the pictures comming. I have a simple one to do for a guys Ryobi. I will try and get pictures up of my process.
