    I am feeling the need to try bigger cutters in my machine, bigger than what the Kress can handle and have come up with an idea.

    I found what looks like a spindle assy of some kind in a box of bits that I got with my lathe (see photo's below). My idea is to drive this with my Kress through a reduction (maybe belt drive) to give me slower speeds and more torque. It rotates really smoothly and feels like it has some quality bearings inside.

    As anyone seen anything similar to the spindle in the photo or tried anything similar before?

    Dimensions -

    Overall length - 175mm
    Body dia - 52mm
    Keyed drive end- 17mm dia
    Spindle bore - 38mm deep tapered with a 32mm dia on the front face, threaded at bottom of taper what looks like M10.
