[tilerj]

can any one help me with plans or knowhow to build a rod lathe /wrapping machine [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]

To explain how to make one on this forum, will take forever. However, if you email me on wefishtoo@hotmail.com i can send you some pics of mine. I made it about 20yrs ago, and has been modified a couple of times since. Basically, i used a sewing machine motor with foot speed control, some 2" alu flat for the bed, mounted on a jarrah base.
Cheers,
Peter
