85 foot lathe update *Pic*

Well, we finally got the 85 foot mast centered on the chucks and were able to grind it true. Thought you might like to see the set-up we built with stuff we had around the shop and a little welding. A small abrasive disk is mounted on a rotary tool and rides along the rails as the mast rotates.

Regards,

Jack
