For the lathe, check out what Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering has done for his hydraulic cylinder lathes, he has a second chuck set up on his tailpost with a live center so he can put a 3 or 4 jaw chuck on each side for odd parts. I bet that would work great for doing converters. For balancing I'm not sure if a wheel balancer will spin fast enough to balance a converter effectively to 6 or 8 thousand rpm but I've been wrong before. I would consider possibly building a standalone system with an analog accelerometer and an MCU to trigger a strobe at the peak of the accelerometer waveform as well as outputting the amplitude, that should get you pretty close to a usable converter balancer once you get a good feel for what amplitude means what amount of weight required.
I mean you probably can but I wouldn't want to magnetize the converter housing and turn it into even more of a centrifugal trash trap than it already is, personally.

I wonder if you could stabilize the stater with a magnetic field? I figured sense you can control a nuclear field with it?
you been watchin the ITER channel too much
@@The4L80eGuy Well somebody has to monitor that stuff. I didn't even send you the one about the unfurling of the solar sail.

@@kenstein Good point, unless there's a way to make is a collapsing field.
