Thanks,

Hi oldskoolhead, people cut on 1200s with Kingston dub Cutters, T560s and homemade lathes.

There's lots of info on the board about this stuff.

They look great, Jvo said that when you had the same gear on the VMS80 it was one of the best setups he had ever heard.

The motor is now mounted with rubber vibration isolator fixings and there is absolutely no (perceived) vibration on the lathe or bench.
