Personally, I would be interested in the smaller version. Shop space is at a premium, and large machines aren't necessary for me.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts

Smaller is easy, just scale ours down. LOL The original was 15" high and 14" deep. Table was mush smaller and only a 1/2 HP motor with 6" wheels.

I know of the one that was in Home Shop Machinist because I kept those issues with the intent of possibly building it at some time. I'm definitely interested in your project.
I just checked and I had drawn up the small one in my CAD program back in September of 2008. I still have the CAD file.

Thanks Ed, this time we have a CAD man on board. He lives 6 miles from me. We were going to build that one but felt it was too lite duty for even the home shop. So far we have the spindle and the wheel hub on paper. The hub is a balanced unit. Wheel changes are the same as the big boys toys.
May/June 2006 July/Augest 2006 September/October 2006 are the issues of HSM that the project appeared in.
