Thread: Access to a lathe

I am in need of a lathe to turn some wheel centres. A mate said I could use his, but has gone away and the racing season is fast approaching and I have no wheels. My lathe is way too small, the centres are about 250mm dia, and just need a skim to make the rim halves a snug fit. The rim halves are 13" and if I could test fit them on the bed it would be better, but not mandatory.

In Sydney close to the Northern Beaches.


The wheel centres.


The new rim halves.


How they should fit, only not so loose.
