I don't think it can twist without bending the screw, I didn't stint on the metal :nope:

I now have the 40t pulley and belt in place with a faux honking plate fudged out of a bit of 2" x 3/4" iron.

It feels good, any shift on the motor moves the handle, moving the handle spins the motor. I would have wired it up but when I looked for a bit of chocolate block connector all I could find was 80A

Time for some G-code to make the real honking plate

Is 'honking plate' a real term or one you made up to describe a 'big lump o' metal'?

I am looking at the pics but still not seeing quite how the quill gets moved... and still moves the motor when you turn the quill handle...
