Re: new guy here a few questions
For a heat lamp, if your lamp pictured is for heat, I would recommend a clamp on architect style lamp. I've found them much easier to position and they can be found cheap.

Re: new guy here a few questions
Yes, those are rigid and good for placement but your socket is hanging free so you don't have the additional adjustment like a dedicated lamp. I find the lamp easier to quickly move out of the way since it pivots freely at the clamp.

Re: new guy here a few questions
Are you at risk for melting your cutterhead or warming it to the point of deforming it?

Hi Fred,
I like your latest Lathe-Build very much, and I see you use the tried and tested "Finger Stalling the Platter Test" for checking the Platter Torque :-
http://lathetrolls.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7024&p=46093&hilit=finger#p46093
The Books and Academic "Stuff" will only carry you so far, and as you've shown here, the rest is always learned best by touching, feeling, and doing. I wholeheartedly approve of the "Heuristic" Methodology Employed for this Test, rather than relying on some of the Manufacturers Figures/Numbers. I like this approach to "Measurement Problem Solving" and as my Old Gaffer (Boss) once said to me, when he asked me what the Value was of a measurement I'd taken. I replied it was "Near Enough" to which he replied "I want it Spot-On" I then said "It is Spot-On" to which he further replied "Well That's Near Enough" I think the "Finger Stalling the Platter Test" to be similarly "Near Enough" to be "Spot-On" Te He!!
I suppose your next "Challenge" will be to get rid of any "Rumble" Transfer into the Recordings, from your Platter "Idler" Wheel Set-Up. Norman Field, the "Lathe Guy" owner of this MSS Lathe, made a New Idler Wheel for this "Ancient" Lathe, and the "Tyre" on the Idler is simply a Nitrile Rubber "O" Ring which, judging by the YT Video he's posted, seems to Transfer Motor Drive to the Platter Rim very Smoothly Indeed.
Regards Soulbear

Re: new guy here a few questions
heres s cut i did yesterday with my new setup and i had made my own idler wheel to test the torque of my broadcast deck
this is a 12'' test
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSLZ8Ae3CIQ&t=52s
the speed is stable but my silly home made idler wheel is a bit wonky
i should have my proper wheel coming in the mail today or tomorow

Re: new guy here a few questions
this is a test cut of a song playing on a turntable running thru my processing and playing thru the cutter head
this is what a record sounds like reproduced in real time on a lathe(embossing)
