Rod, I don't use the lathe but I use a small dc motor in my vice , most of the time the motor from the drive. I use a "Eze-Lap Fine Diamond Pocket Stone 1" x6" (600)" to make them to the right size. Some times when I have to remove more material I start with Scotch Wet and Dry 150 sanding paper wrapped around the Eze-Lap. It's all about craftsmanship and a steady hand if you keep the motor running at a steady speed about 50% of its nominal voltage everybody should be able to do this. After gluing the rubber to the capstan it takes me about 20-40 minutes to get the rubber to the right size. So you lesser mortals should be able to do this too. For the tubing use something with the right inner size (a little smaller than the hub) the outer size should be a little larger. And look for an industrial hose/rubber supplier both PU and Neoprene should work. -Rik
