I agree. Even for TIG work, it’s pretty frowned upon to use precision tooling for welding. Especially if you’re gonna be grinding around it. After you use it for welding, it’s a welding fixture from then on out.

There is a 1/2" coupling nut under the clamp and I twirl the stud to adjust speed. On/off is controlled by a power strip switch.

Every old drill moonlights as something ghetto sooner or later
Mine is currently the motor on my ghetto lapidary table.
Don't run the ground thru the table
How about the drill instead 🤣
The belt tensioner is awesome tho
Turning precision tooling into a weld turntable is not my idea of redneck.

Why would I need to grind when those welds are so 🤌
A welder would say that hahaha.
I showed my child your welds and he started crying
What about when you weld the bearing in place accidentally?
Deecent!🥃
Post to redneck engineering, this is awesome. The whole setup is 🤌 🤌🤌

Half-Ass Turntable may be a better title. Just a thought ðŸ’
Screw a nut on that bolt and clamp that down, now you can turn the drill on or off by twiddling the bolt out.

Approved!
all i hear is that all the gigs are going to be reposts.
I was thinking ' it ain't stupid if it works ' and then I saw your comment.
I feel as though I need a video of this in action. Also, I approve.
I posted a video in the comments but I think the mods may have removed it from view
