Thanks Terry. With that in mind, I took a third look at some buffing supplies. After pricing out the thicker buffing wheels and compounds, I found the Peachtree Woodworking 3-buff kit to be a pretty reasonable price. I stopped in at lunch and picked it up. The wheels are nice, the 3/4 mandrel seems ...

If I needed to drill studs to pull wire, a Speedbor mounted in one of those big honking right-angle drills would be just the ticket. Yup. I used one of these in a Ryobi cordless angle drill when wiring my basement. While it ate the drill batteries in no time flat, it sure got the job done! Much bet...

Absolutely you should DIY!

A thought......You might be able to rack the frame a little to make up some of the misalignment. Loosen the set screws in the tie bar and the base arm and try shimming under the tie bar to see if it affects the alignment.

I just thought of something. Put the spur drive center on the spindle, but don't tighten the screw. Put the dead center LOOSELY in the tailstock. Now, turn each one, and see if there is any wobble from either one. It could be a bent center, instead of the tailstock. steve I checked the drive center...
