Naw, in this case John, its the spindle in my toy mill, originally a micromill. Motor shaft is 8mm, spindle shaft is 20mm OD. The gears are about shot, rattling to beat the band, and I have this 400 watt motor I took out of the toy lathe. Might as well use it. The lathes spindle is another story. One that may be fixed with a bigger machine. There is a 100+ yo Porter sitting out in the weather right here in town I can have to 5 pix of Ben, but the motor mount looks like it needs a 40 horse to turn it. Some bed cleanup, and 3 grand in screws might make it a good tool again. 14" chuck, about an 8 foot bed. No space for anything like that though without changing the number on the front of the house AND the street name. My pockets are not THAT deep.
