oooh. That height adjustment trick with the strip. That's awesome.

This just might be one of the best videos for the begining enthusiast. Thank you!

Beautifully done. But, we want about a 70% blued surface, leaving pockets of low areas to hold oil. There’s something that’s too good. It will wear to quickly if it touches completely.

A bit of a job getting it to the right height using that method… Good work !

You did a wonderful, beautiful job. I can’t even begin to tell you. I’m really going to try to get surface plate. Height gauge scraper whatever you did I’m gonna do. Love your video, so helpful and understandable across all levels. How would you begin with the Bedways?

I can't believe you threw away the base. That was a good part of the value and uniqueness.

I bought a couple blocks 5 of them none were egual in size , but a bit machining and it all works perfectly , bought some dixon blocks , same story with measurements.

Nice , one error though, you assumed the angle in the lathe way to be 90 degrees. It is not, it is 94 degrees, and at the end of the video you see that the “outboard” surface does not not register against the lathe way. This makes it sit less secure on the way. A bit of filing will help

I have a mic that I want to build one of these but it has no lock. How would you propose implementing a locking mech into this doodad

@GenePavlovsky Жыл бұрын

This micrometer head also doesn't have a lock. I've seen a few other videos with lock-less micrometer stop. I've also seen home-made micrometer stop (using a homemade nut and a homemade fine-threaded spindle) where the only thing that prevents the spindle from moving is a spring-loaded ball that provides some resistance to turning the thimble. So perhaps it's not really a problem in practice? You could add a lockable stop rod in parallel with the micrometer spindle. Use the micrometer to measure the distance, bring up the carriage to touch the micrometer spindle, bring up the stop rod to touch the carriage, lock the stop rod, retract the micrometer spindle. This way the micrometer head is only used initially for measuring the distance, the actual stopping is provided by a dedicated lockable stop rod. Alternatively, you can get a micrometer head with a built-in spindle lock, e.g. Mitutoyo 148-150-10 (0-13 mm / 0.01 mm). The lock adds a bit of extra width, so make sure you have enough space (a concern on small lathes).

Yo tengo uno igual de 60mm el suyo parece de 80mm, son made in china años 90 fukung brand, son muy robustos resistentes. En lo personal no tiraría la abrazadera, para eso está diseñado paga ser portátil o dijo. Descartar una pieza tan importante ya no es una restauración!

My best Vedic in mini lathe. It inspired me to take this my next upgrade. However the ink is no where to be found at hobby price. Any advice? Please

@leewilloughby6214 2 жыл бұрын

SoI guess here’s the question. You milled the pocket for the ways at 90*… many lathe ways are actually 94*… did you measure the angle first?

@shaneharrison4775 2 жыл бұрын

The only guy I see has a complete portable vice and he throws the handy half away to make it a small perminent vice that makes zero sense when the handy half could be freshened up and made right and kept with the top part of the vice as a portable appendage like it was designed to be. Nice work though

@navajo179 2 жыл бұрын

Beautiful to watch you doing that. I must learn more about scraping parts. I once watched a guy dismantle a huge machine and hand scraping all the parts, before reassembling it, back together again. I also saw a Japanese guy hand scraping high pressure steam joins, so they wouldn't leak. All in fine detail.

There is just no way that I would spend that much time to "improve" a new lathe that should have been good from the first instance. Having to rectify all and anything possible that can be rectified tells me the user is purely doing so because he has nothing better to do with his time...........buying a better quality lathe would have been the best choice as you then have the time to actually make things you bought the lathe for in the first place and a better quality lathe would also give you better results than trying to fight against inadequate machinery design.......making a gold plated silk purse out of an old Sow's ear never gets you near a lathe of quality no matter how hard you wish.

@snifflesfpv7321 2 жыл бұрын

The point of having “nothing better to do” is exactly what working in a hobby shop is about, it’s just about having fun and learning new things for a nice and low price tag. It’s about the challenge the skills that come along the way.

@jefflyon100 2 жыл бұрын

A lathe that costs as little as these do isn't going to have surface ground and hand scraped ways. Everything about these mini lathes is a compromise on quality to meet a price point. It is what it is. A half decent high precision benchtop lathe in this size would start at about $7000. A high end one is much more.

@anthonyrivers8395 Жыл бұрын

Even a brand new lethe ,with hand scraping ,becomes better for high tolerances. You got to admit it was nice to watch.😅

Today finally I dedicate it to do it. Finishing really good. I can part a 3/4 steel rod with no chattering! And move the compound smooth like silk! Thanks for sharing with us.
