Dirty Beluga posted:an old computer power supply works fine for electrolysis. 12V at whatever amps cleaned most of the lathe bed in a day. Steel electrical conduit / computer case panels are great electrodes too, if a magnet sticks to it you're good. PC Power supplies aren't designed to be shorted, which is what this is effectively doing. It might work for a while, but certainly not like an actual current-limited supply. Dumbass battery chargers work really well, they're just big transformers.

You can hack the T-nut with a saw, it doesn't need to be perfect.

Be careful with reverse, you can spin the chuck right off.

That's a mistake you hopefully only make once. Just like turning on a drill press with the chuck key in it... I've never done it, but I've seen the damage that occurs when someone does. My shop teacher whipped the key out into the grassy field behind the school and the kid who hosed up had to show up to class, and once attendance was taken, go into the field and look for it. It took him about a week... and then he was allowed back into the shop.

Parts Kit posted:Are you going to put a beefier motor on it? There's no need. This is a light lathe, and you don't want a ton of power.
