Can you do multiple dips for a darker finish?

@EngineerSteve 9 күн бұрын

The finish is mainly determined by the temperature at which you dip the part, if you want more control over the finish, cold bluing is also a good option.

They say spray 6-10 inches away, closer is better, and at least 4 very light coats approximately 20 minutes in between, even 5+…

@EngineerSteve Ай бұрын

I found that with the spray can it does indeed take quite a few layers. When dipping the part I find that two cycles is sufficient most of the times (depending on material)

@samilcan2 5 ай бұрын

Great design and build, especially the spindle. Rigidity is everything obviously for milling, but rigidity is not just for the material or weight of the machine (adding concrete or epoxy to cavities will help but won't ever be enough) -- it is also in the mechanical design of the basic structure of the machine, its shape and how its frame and the spindle housing is "held". In a drill press the frame is on a round column, spindle being a foot away from the round column, and hence the whole thing (the cast iron frame as a whole) just wants to turn with the force of the end mill pushing against the work -- and I mean, turn with a circle around the column: the radius being from the end mill to the center of the cylindrical column. Whatever weight or extra clamps we introduce, that radial force will always be there with that frame setup, causing at best major chatter, at worst wandering both at the milling end and even at the workpiece. So the solution will have to be introducing any means to limit that radial force that tries to turn the whole machine -- I've seen people attaching metal bars from the frame (on the two sides of the spindle housing or whatever works) to walls, ceiling, bench, etc. to make it way more rigid for instance, with varying results. But the point is, the whole machine will need extra structural elements to be attached (probably even at the back of the column and the base) to minimize any vibration due to a radial force that the machine "shape" was never designed for. A rectangular column would change everything haha!

@sierraecho884 Жыл бұрын

Hot bluing basically destroys your part, since it´s a head treatment technique. It´s also the worst method to prevent corrosion in steel. It´s only a very very thin layer which needs constant oiling. Do zinc plating or painting instead if you want to preserve your parts structure not cause warpage and get better corrosion protection.

I was also horrified by the removal of the supporting structures. I should perform a similar mini lathe motor modification. Now the transmission of the motor installed is counterproductive as in the video. The chunk rotation speed is far too much If I don't use back gears for a decrease speed. My intention is to add a reduction gear between the motor and the lathe. Example similar belt transmissions type is used many press drilling machines. But if you will be able to fulfill the intended purpose with a motor change, thumbs up! 😊 Perhaps the frequency converter could work on the decrease in chunk revolutions ?
