The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

So they said 3 months At first and now there still developing......

I have seen these before but haven't thought of using them.
.002" tir is too much when you measure 6 inches away

.1 degree of an angle will generate over .01" runout at 6" away

I already tried the taper method, it works...

I have been experimenting with turntable bearings. I have built a turntable with 1 ball bearing in the middle like most standard turntables and i have another model with a roller bearing( size 50mm diam, 16mm thick ) My question is are there any other turntables with different types of bearings than...

Thanks

A stereo head is already in the works. I just picked one up at the beginning of the year.
But it's going to be a fair amount of money.

ok a lot of questions here. things are taking longer than usual as always..... the Grampian heads will be the first to get sold, then audax later the Grampian head has been tested, it met original specifications for the overseas buyers, customs charges will be done on a case by case basis the price ...
