Probably about 25mm shaft. So as I need 1000 to 1500 RPM for the
plastics it seems doable then.

Hi
I have had this piece of machine in the store for a long time. I think
it was used to decant fishing line to the smaller plastic reels.
I have a need for a small dedicated lathe that will onpy cut soft
materials like plastic and aluminium occasionally.
The spindle in the picture is what is currently fitted to the machine
and I would like to refurbish and use it. The question I have is what
RPM will I be able to run the spindle seeing that it uses these brass
bearings?
Depending on diameter, I would treat it like an old lathe with bronze
bearings. 1000 RPM should be no problem with adequate oil lube.
