I love the unconvential innovation. What thread pitch did you use?

Wie schon lange verfolge ich diesen Kanal sehr gerne und freue mich über jeden neuen Beitrag! Ich bin immer etwas neidisch, dass ich nicht so gut "basteln" kann. Bitte weiter machen.

спасибо вам . очень интересная штука

You do very good work...but no offence when I say when your knurling and drilling that I've seen you should be using oil especially when knurling helps flush the the small swarf chips away so it doesn't recut the chips into the work..

Great vid fella fortunately my machine has a 3 phase 220 vac motor so I only need a vfb (on order)

I went through the same process for my EMCO Compact 5 CNC Chuck, except, Soft jaws are not available for these Chucks, so i made them myself.. having a CNC Mill greatly helps. So i measured the original jaws, drew them in CAD, and milled new jaws from 1.2510 steel. i milled a raised "Cross" on top, so i only have to mill a cross in the topjaws, which is way easier.. I too Faced the new Jaws in the lathe, before milling the locating features, then drilled and tapped the holes. the top jaws were also turned to the same height, after milling the cross and drilling the holes, and i now can clamp very delicate parts, like watchcase backs on only .8 mm, works a treat!.. What's also Cool, For working with Hexbar, you can Mill a hex in the jaws, to firmly grab it

That's exactly why I've decided to budget 3 times the original amount for my first lathe, i.e. something closer to 1800 USD.

I'm looking into adding bushings for my the spindle of my chinese drill press. So that the spindle doesn't slide directly in the casting bores? Any tips from you? Any chance I'de get a matching internal 40 mm diameter cylinder off the shelf somehow? I'm intending to enlarge the casting bores by hand.

90% of what people make on lathes is to maje their lathe work better!

ganz schön viele fehler eingebaut. du lernst es schon nochmal. wie schon in manchen komentaren erwähnt kann man mit solchen fehlern ganz schön schaden anderen menschen zufügen. absolut fahrlässig, fast schon kriminell.

so grosartig ist die verbesserung gar nicht. das sich die handräder fast berühren ist ja wohl ein quatsch-kann man doch nicht WIRKLICH damit arbeiten. und das mit dem BACKLASH zu lösen---hmmmm AFROENGINEERING. zeitverschwendung für eine spielzeugmaschine.

wo hast du denn den neuen Reitstock her? wäre toll wenn teilen würdest wo du die ganzen Sachen herbekommst. ich hab die selbe Maschine und möchte mir gerne ein Paar der Sachen Nachmachen die du dir da zusammengebaut hast. das ist wirklich der Wahnsinn was du da gemacht hast.

Deine Bohrer & Senker sind ja in einem erbärmlichen Zustand, brauchst jemand der sie schärft😅

в следующий раз когда будешь закаливать высокоуглеродистые стали . в начале опусти в масло на несколько секунд а потом в воду. лопнула деталь у вас из за быстрого и неравномерного охлаждения. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXm7npZ6i9J1eLc и как я понял реверса у вас рукояткой не будет . это не совсем профессионально. надо бы поработать над этим. я даже не представляю как можно работать ручкой управления без реверса. хотя кто как привык. я учился на больших станках точить а теперь перешел на маленький

I've come to the conclusion the spacing on the banjo differs between mini lathes. The distance between the main gear and secondary gear means they are too far away to mesh using any combination of gear sizes. I think i can file enough out to make them fit but I'm going to make a new banjo specifically for fine feeds that will clamp to the lathe around the leadscrew housing. Will make adjustment easier.

Good work as always. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum last week 😎

measure once, cut twice and it's still too short. Never fails ;-)

you finally got a bandsaw! congrats!

In the immortal words of AVE, "ya gotta piss with the cock you've got".

Man, watching the stuff you do with limited tools you have makes me ashamed at how little I can do with the comparably limitless equipment at my disposal. You have some serious skill and ingenuity.

at 14:05 I see the retaiing pins are drilled in your 4-jaw. Did you do that or did it come like that? Are they hardened?

Well done mate

An excellent job sir! The bearings were very poor quality. Almost no quality control by the manufacturer whatsoever. I thought Chinese quality control was getting better, but in this factories case, non existent. I think I would have sourced bearings from a quality brand would have paid for itself.

Hmm i wonder now how do they get these teeth in such jaws normally?

Really nice work. Your obviously running a VFD with RS485 interfacing - why bother with the electro mechanical switchgear that you made? A discrete 24v FWD/OFF/REV with pot driven speed control on the apron is far easier and more convenient(albeit both options are.vast overkill on an 18" screw cutting lathe). BTW Carriage mounted motor control was only popularly adopted(1960s).when discrete electronics. we're not available and manufacturer's wanted to do away with expensive mechanical clutches... Don't get stuck in the perception trap ie. trapped by old thinking/ technologies. Even better, try a footpeddle control - intuitive and natural in feel... and with emergency stop functionality too!

I had no idea half the things you just did were possible on a lathe. I'm impressed

I would have started with Cobalt hss round stock. hss allows a larger cutting angle, so less force and less chatter.

И это рукожопство ты называешь "сделать лучше"? Это шутка такая? Когда измерения выполняются даже не инструментом, а пальцами? Одиннадцать минут бесполезного видео...

I don’t get it… what keeps the end of the pen from pushing back in once you start to write how is it locking itself out in the writing position they just shaking it down…????? I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering this…

Con un estropajo de eso verdes de limpiar los platos dejas mejor acabado que con la pletina

nice work. haw did you stop the lot corroding ? Has the handle lock screw kept coming loose ?

I'm sorry that I could only hit the like button once. Very well done.

I do love you channel, and you get SO much right and great advice, just pretty please stop referring to WD40 as oil... or in fact using it in place of oil on assemblies. That is exactly what it is not. It's an oil/water displacer, and completely evaporates after a while, leaving nothing oil like behind. Adding it in place of an actual oil is no better than having nothing there. A google search on the topic will educate you a lot better than i can, it's commonly misused and misdescribed by a great many mechanics and engineers who just repeat what they've heard, so I don't blame you lol :)

Sehr schön gemacht aber ob WD40 ein geingnetes Schmiermittel ist, bin ich skeptisch. WD40 schön und gut aber dafür ist es nicht gemacht

You know this would be very handy for trimming bullet jackets or copper tubing to same length. I wasn't aware such chucks existed but you could use a wooden dowel to insert and remove.

make v shaped mating surfaces to remove inaccuracies.

Good to see this guy blowing up now. Im a new fan myself. Gives me hope that i dont need a whole shop to accomplish a task

You do a good job without a milling machine or bandsaw. Add a wide chamfer to end of threads for more clearance at the cross slide.

❤

Very nicely done! Now for some Pie jaws?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
