Thanks for sharing! I have a lms 6750. It’s very similar to yours but it has no hand wheel on the Z-axis but has a power lift instead. It also comes with the same quill fine feed as yours. A DRO is also standard on the 6750. While the DRO Z readout changes when raising or lowering the head with the lift motor, it is way too course for accurate vertical positioning. Another short coming, the quill fine feed can be read on the quill DRO, but any fine adjustment makes the main DRO Z-axis inaccurate. Have you ever tried adding a DRO to the quill and combined the readout with the main display?

@philscoltock5082Ай бұрын
Wow looks excellent. One naive question. Could you program the control of the cutter via CNC to achieve the same result as your rosette wheels or would the calculation of the coordinates be too complex ?
@Accu-SliceАй бұрын
Yes it could be done, but I think that it would be easier to use the rosettes and alto to use them for future projects.
@MikesukesАй бұрын
Seems to work pretty well. Couldn't you use your X axis feed to cut asymmetric designs with out using the cam wheels.
@joshua43214Ай бұрын
Very cool. Thanks. Looks like you have some bounce and chatter when the pattern wheel lets the headstock fall too quickly. Do you plan to eventually replace the pattern with something motor driven? Would be really cool to replace the rotary cutter with a knife.
@guitarchitecturalАй бұрын
If you're using a rotary tool, what's the difference between this and just running a CNC router program with the same pattern? Part of what makes a rose engine so sought after is that the patterning is carved away, so it leaves an exceptional and distinctively clean finish that you can't get with a mill. This seems more like an over-complicated router, but I'm sure I'm missing something.

@MikesukesАй бұрын
That is a great design well thought out, are you going directly off the Arduino to the stepper drivers? What touch screen are you using on the Arduino? I had a camera slider I built using Arduino mega with three axis control. Didn't use it enough so now i have all the parts and electronics. Plus enough parts laying around to build one of these. The software would be the challange.

I am speechless. Completely beautiful. I’ve always thought a Rose Engine lathe would be out of scope for me. Your system is outstanding. I’m assuming you 3D printed your rosettes, which is a great way to quickly try new/different patterns/geometries. How do you think the 3D printed rosettes will hold up? Or is an aluminum, or even a brass rosette the way to go? I’m certainly not throwing stones at your design. It is WONDERFUL. And if you are willing to share your designs of your system I can only believe you will have many very thankful followers. I for one would love to see this through. Thank you for all the time and energy you put into your business and machines and designs. Thank you.
@Accu-SliceАй бұрын
The 3-D Printed Rosetter work fine. There is little to no wear on the surfaces that I can perceive. I did print them out with 10 outer layers of PLA + material just to be sure they would hold up. I will do a video some time in the future on how I produced these 3-D Printed Rosettes.

I bought the rotating tailstock adaptor about 10 years ago. Apparently it is no longer available since I was not able to find any source for this item when I did an internet search. I will be working on designing and machining these units in the near future since I have had several requests for them. I just finished designing a prototype which I 3-D printed to check out my design. As soon as I can find some time, I will do an initial test by machining one out of aluminum.

I did search the web and I could not find a rotating live center 1.25 x 8 tpi unit like I have. I also saw on the web that many others are looking for this item. It seems like it should be readily available, but i could not find it. I am not sure where I got it. I added to my system about 10 years ago. I thought that I bought it from Nova, but I could not find it on their web site. What Nova does have is a live center kit which I found on the Nova web site. NOVA LATHE ACCESSORY 2MT LIVE CENTER SYSTEM (SKU 5015 AND 71074) and then I found a Nova 1.25 x 8 tpi Tailstock Chuck Adaptor which I found on the Rockler web site. But I could not locate this on the Nova web site. Perhaps joining these two units will do the job, but it seems like an expensive way to go.

Why print them so tall? PLA is plenty strong in compression. But the offset way above the clamping axis is adding unneeded torque to the jaws. Shorten them up so the printed "parallel" surface is just above the top surface of the vise. You'll get more clamping force with far less load on the jaw.

You CLAIM that you cut the wood to 1/100,000th of an inch? do you know how ridiculous you sound when you said that, a cigarette paper is 0.02mm thick yet you think that your bandsaw can cut to 0.000254mm in thickness, even your claim of 1/10,000th inch is 0.00254mm. You need to go back to school and learn basic math. But at least in your video description you wrote down the correct measurement of 1/100th of an inch and 1/10th of an inch which is 0.254mm and 2.54mm respectively (you're still being optimistic with the 0.254mm thickness).

It's lovely to see the pursuit of perfection in such a specific subset of a craft. For aligning glue-ups precisely, I wonder if you could use a tiny dowel system by drilling 2 holes down through the body of the cylinder before slicing it into discs. Hole 1 in the bottom disc gets dowel-aligned to hole 2 in the next disc up, ad nauseam. The dowels would be smaller than tic-tacs!
