About a month back I posted asking for advice on vibration and got a lot of good feed back.
Here is an over due update.
I made a torsion box for ballast with 200# of sand in it. I also raised the motor closer to the head stock and added a link belt. The lathe is level and now there is only slight vibration running at its fastest speed (3250 RPM).
I also made some dovetail draws out of Baltic Birch. Added some dust collection and a tool organizer thingy (technical term).
Thanks for the help.
