Re: Flywheel
A flywheel update! After removing some stock off my flywheel, it turned out to be only about 6 lbs. had a dog of a time trying to true it in my friend's Polish lathe (Yeah that's Polish, from Poland!) It was the only lathe I've ever run without a Compound feed. Anyway, Ora landis at Schwalms balanced the crank, clutch, and flywheel with only drlling two small (5/16) 1/4" deep in it. Not much, I expected more.
So What will 6 Lbs buy me? Not very much it seems. This is my first attempt at turning a flywheel and I'd rather err on the side of caution.
