    You could remove the chain and bar of your chainsaw and adapt a normal chain or belt on the engine to power your lathe. That would make it a two stroke lathe! And at 15000 rpm she will be smoking! :-)

    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
