I run a heater in my shop with a 100lb cylinder and am forever forgetting to turn the heater off when I leave the shop for an extended period of time. This may be a good product for the shop. I will just need to remember to advance the timer to keep the heater on. I have wasted a lot of $ heating a shop that no one is in.

Very interesting. Nice work

Very nice work sir. Very interesting. I’m sure you will be very pleased with your results

Very nice work. Interesting idea. Looks good

Very interesting. It’s great that you haven’t given up,but found a solution. Nice work sir.

You know the western movie where Mr Ugly runs into A massive graveyard. Thats the buying experience of a Vevor :D

Got a compass error while taking pictures of my family, no where near any magnetic interference. Took off to the east towards some trees, crashed, and fell 15 feet to the ground. The right front strut broke off along with the gimbal being completely inoperable. I still get video feed from it though. What could be causing the issue?

Very Nice job. Love how you designed this fix for the flag. Would be nice to have painted the mail box while everything was disabled. A simple can of spray paint and 10 minutes makes a huge difference in appearance. Love the video. Thanks for posting it.

Wow! Amazing fam. Is it pretty durable? Is swapping it out okay? No risk of damaging the tool?

Great video, I should be able to use this method to make myself some collets for my mill.

You need to stay away from fabrication you suck at it

I put these on my 2004 2 years ago and love them! Get a second pair in the event the switches break because the correct ones can be hard to find. I believe I watched this video when I installed mine. Thank you!

Good work!!

Who has the time to do all that?

Thank you for sharing

nice tutorial easy to follow i will make one asap

I just had a thought, i wonder if the cheaper lathes and mills , with plastic gears, could be bought, then make molds for lost wax castings from the gears and other parts. Make stronger gears from iron or brass, bronze, or even aluminum. I think iron and brass gears, maybe every other gear from brass. And make replacements from iron. Just incase. With different metals the wear would be less than with hardened steel gears. Maybe set up a hollow brush to drip oil. Or possibly use super sticky lucas oil stabilizer on the gears. Possibly semi enclose the gears in a oil bath. Any changes are going to be messy. Maybe a dry film lubricant can be used. Then replace the motor with a 1500-2500 watt brushless, with a 60-72v power supply and controller to match it. Should make a decent machine from the cheap $600-$700 machines. Then work on tightening up the ways , and leads crews. However by the time all this is done , you could go a bit further, build a complete lathe. With 6"- 8", 10" chuck with room to swing about 18" x 36" stuff! Weld some steel bars on a 12" I beam about 4' long. Used either killed 1/2" thick 2" angle welded to 1/4" or 1/2 flat bar 4" wide as the ways, with matching bits to mount thr head and tail, and carriage . With oil passages with braised on steel tubing. And a water based coolant tank underneath. Sorry for the rambling, but could be a cool project. Especially if you have access to scrap steel.

Ha! At first I was like “oh man, this guy is just writing all this stuff as a joke” and then once you wrapped it up with the final length that came from your formula I was like “oh shit…he got me…hit me in my knowledge bone”. Thanks man! Never understood the concept of theorem!

just another "see what i can do" video smh

The custom nuts are for sale! www.etsy.com/listing/1760507928/the-best-jeep-tj-wrangler-dome-light If you don't have a 3d printer or want them in a filament you can't print (ASA) I'm here to help! Thank you everyone for all your support!

Watched all 3 build videos. Do you have any video of you using it? I assume you have to just grip/hold-onto the holder, spin the stock in the head stock chuck really slow and then turn the tail stock handle to press/start cutting the threads? It seems like maybe adding a through hole with a rod would be necessary to hold the die holder from spinning? Thank you.

Hold on...wait until I buy my $500 printer, then buy the switch a genuine mercedes part which is probably more expensive than my jeep. Just buy the clip..$5 and problem is solved

Really useful video. Thanks. What's the tool you use to get the bottom pulley off? I'm changing my belt and haven't got any way of getting it off.

this is tutorial art, new sub from norway!

How to change gram to ounce?

I might also invest in a respirator with or without active air circulation if you're welding inside the shed. Looks like a good compact unit.

ahhh there you are. fine choice in crocs btw got the same exact model hahaha

A weld that breaks in the middle is a pretty good weld. Bring back the Bronco content!

i live in an apartment and was wondering what would happen if i ordered one lol wow thats a big box 😮 ! i think ill pre order my already milled products instead LOL ! 😸

Got introduced to shop cat, but shop dog did a walk by :)

Surprisingly inexpensive

This appears to be an standard-pattern lathe that is exported under several name brands with a different colour coating on it. Good to know it isn't entirely useless.

Can u post i need to buy the machin or phone

How much brandnew

This is genius, but too bad everyone has JACKED the price up on the switches.....

Actually all this work is pointless. There so much more needed to be made. There are some dedicated channels who talk about every problem of this lathe and how to fix it. This maschine can actually handle 2mm cut of steel easily. But not without serious work on it

Exactly what I was looking for, hook & loop attachment.

Un vrai bordel autour de sa machine

No working knowledge of basic principles... what a train wreck of time wasted. Well at least you're not doing drugs I guess.

I have the same lathe and I would like to lower the gear ratio for higher torque lower speed. I ordered a 12 tooth 5m timing pulley for the motor but I'm wondering have you tried to put a larger pulley on the spindle? I want to know what the largest I can put on it without having to modify the cover would be. Little machine shop has 40 tooth pulleys but I don't know if it will fit under the cover

Danke!

I’m thinking about trying the sander with that foam pad ?

I know it's 2 years since the video was released, but I saw early in the video you had access to a lathe, why didn't you just remove the step that was too big for what you needed? The last guy probably rosette welded the sleve in like you did with your slug.

Over complicated crap

Music too LOUD!

Your stick out at 14:03 is WAY to much for that size/quality of lathe. Maximum should be no more than three times the diameter of the stock. 3/4” x 3 = 1 1/2”. Unless you’re using the tail stock to support the end.

Anyone know what Mercedes models came with these switches? Looking to see if I can salvage a pair instead of buying new. Great video and wonderful solution. Thank you!

This USED to work, but Voss changed their paint or process, and that paint DOES NOT come off anymore

How do you calibrate this thing, I can't find easy to read instructions in English on the one I got...
