Thread gauge help.
To add to this, is the ring gauge used, if so inspect the internal threads for any trash/ bits of metal that can get lodged and ground into the threads. In another life I inspected parts(lots of them) with that style of ring Gauge and that caused issues due to the tighter fit. Hodge- Hodge

Clausing drill spindle rpm reduction
Assuming it only has 2 pulleys, add a third for extra gear reduction.(in between pulleys) I converted one years ago with a larger chuck and it worked a treat.

OT-super capacitor to help lawnmower start?

Why do people buy massive lathes for their home shop?

Advice wanted for an apprentice beginning his tool collection
Hey Matthew, Congratulations on your career choice. It's not the easiest path out there and fairly costly acquiring proper measuring equipment and tools. Bit of a learning curve as well. This leads me to this observation: You should be making $15.00 or more an hour at... -
