So as part of my plan to make razors, I got myself a harbor freight mini metal lathe. I've spent the last couple of days cleaning it up and doing a bunch of little tweaks for performance.

I was there in my workshop, cuttin' up metal rod when I realized this lathe, while probably technically a bit underpowered for the job, does have a PWM motor in it and it would be stupidly easy to make a cart for it that includes a 2x72 grinder powered by the lathe.

Has anyone else done anything like this? I don't think it even really counts as a modification when the mod is to just make a custom 'tool' to stick in it that drives the sanding belt.
