All those Irwin clamps makes me say "Crikey!"
That is some fine engineering Duck, how well does the DC work (is the cavity all clean after you remove the covers)?
Having the XY stage is a clever move, you can really dial in the diameters when making circle stuff. I bought one of those (cheap) for my DP but yes it sucks for trying to turn a DP into a mill. May have to ponder attaching it to my 12/48 disc/belt sander like you show.
I'm guessing those mag switched hold well. Your tolerances are all very close and if the mags shifted you would soon have your DC coming at you apace 😱
Glad you do left/right FUBARs as (or nearly as) much as I do. Even multiple times too!
I don't have a lathe and do have a 12/48 disc, but having the variable speed of the lathe and ability to quickly swap out the discs is aces! I only have one disc and can't find any more, besides it is a major disassembly process to reach the set screw holding the disc to the shaft.
