I bought this old clunker years ago and have never stop using it. Aside of the stuff already mentioned this is used for making props cleaning off or facing discs ,making/facing off flywheels ,drums and just about anything that will fit in the chuck. I have even put an alloy wheel in it with the gap bed out and polished up the rim by holding varoius grades of paper and polish against it while spinning
Believe me you will find a shed load of use for it while building the roadster.
