ReplyWell said Willie. He is the real deal. He is old school. Man of his word.

Today I met KD of KD Welding for the first time. I am favorably impressed! I am a lifelong amateur, but I've learned to recognize the real deal. I'm even better at sizing up people. KD has the skill, is an honest, hard working family man. His projects have grown in complexity in few years, as has his preparedness. We will hear more of him in the future.
KD; I'll give your brake a good home. Keep in touch. Luck is not a thing you need, so "best wishes"!
An optimist is usually wrong, and when the unexpected happens is unprepared. A pessimist is usually right, when wrong, is delighted, and well prepared.

The brake KD sold me needs a pin. No telling what ever happened to the manufacturer.Originally Posted by 6Boys
I've owned a lathe 10 years, couldn't buy a motor slow enough to match the line shaft speed it was designed for. Eventually found a gearbox designed to make the conversion. Only then did I learn carbide tooling needs speed.
I've done only two very simple bushings until now. I've turned a 1-1/2" pin to dimension, 7/8 11" long, 5/8 2.5" long. The 5/8" section gets threaded. I've never cut a thread before. Trying to You Tube it.
Any lathe proficient people willing to coach, now is your opportunity.
