I added a gearbox from a 36" Model A to my 30" Model B, with much thanks to Halligan142's YouTube video.
After turning down six inches of the feed screw to make it fit, I now have 6" sticking out the end of the bearing at the tailstock end of the bed.
I'm a novice, but not so much enough not to ask advice of wiser folks before cutting that extra 6" off.
Can anyone tell me any advantage of adding a handwheel to the feedscrew?
Thanks.
