Tire razor with lathe

[scrjon]

do you have 2 small tapped holes on the left side of your razor base plate and 1 to the right in the sanding block groove?

Just saw this post and I do have these, so I am good to go with your new lathe?

yes, that is all you need to add the lathe to the Razor, just take off the sanding block and put in the 2 #6 screws in the side and loosely tighten the shoulder bolt on the slide and you are ready

[scrjon]

you can turn the wheel diameter down on the lathe faster than just the Razor, and you can make inserts

Here is a good overview of why it's used and how it's used.




And it's American made by a fellow slot car enthusiast, can't go wrong there.
