Well heck....if you want cheap...then buy a lathe headstock/spindle and attach a 3 jaw chuck with the same type of clamping mechanism as a Nova chuck (used in wood turning)....drive the lathe spindle using one of the back gears.
2nd option...buy a used wood turning lathe....like a jet Mini or something small like that and adapt the drive.
3rd more costly option....bench centers.... |
