Congratulations! Nice job!

Nice job

It's like watching a jeweler...😂 beyond my skill set but very entertaining!🐬

But why?

🫡 Always an inspiration !

hello ,nice job friend ,what is machine model name ? , i thinking i buy this one

only machine that can reproduce its self ( manual realm)!

A lathe can make a lathe!

no cooling system on engine

🫡- Just what I’ve been thinking about for my mini mill spindle to make collet changing a 1 spanner operation

instead of facing the end of tailstock with grinder and Dremel - you could have simply ground a facing tool bit from HSS square lathe bit, to use in the align boring tool you fabricated.

This is a demonstration of expert level lathe mastery. Well done! 💪

Ah, yes - the angle grinder scraper... Among all the lesser known equipment, that is the king of precision work... Tho, jokes aside, i have seen a dude make a smithing anvil and grind it flat with a flap disc to the point where literally 0 light passed under a straight edge across the whole surface, and he checked it like an engine block - star pattern straight edge inspection method... Now, it is likely not absolute perfection, but that dude managed better with a flap disc than most modern parts are from the box - made with what is supposed to be precision machinery... The bore bushing seemed a bit wonky in that hole, not a sausage down a hallway scenario, but in machining terms - might as well be the same... Better than OEM offered, but wobble is still wobble... I would have cylinder hone-d it to fit, both the tstock bore and the bushing bore for the quill, just to make it a perfect fit... Hell, the tstock bore fit could have even been interference fit - the slightest of interference fits, literally the ``same size`` id as od, requiring just a bit of torch to heat up the tstock bore as to receive it - no real stress on the material and a guarantee of a rigid and precise fit for quill... You could also have added a hydraulic seal groove in that bushing, as well as a groove for the oiler felt wick behind that, just for sealing the bore and for additional lubrication... Otherwise, a nice idea and definitely a good start... Tho, that tailstock casting itself looks so fucking offensively bad in design that one can hardly think of an insult fitting the mind that spawned it... I would consider snagging a chunk of iron and just remaking the whole thing if i had one of these import lathes... You can get nice rectangular, quite big 20kg cast iron weights that are ideal size for such machinery... Hell, one could take 2 of those and remake the headstock and tailstock to generate some nasty rigid components, so much so that the bed would suddenly be one of the lightest large components of the whole system... Those weights ain`t the best iron, but they won`t crack, and once machined well - they will offer a shitload of solid mass to whatever they have been turned into... I actually considered doing so with my minila(not an import, but not skookum either) - just mill and lap in the ways geometry into the bottom of the weight, line-bore it and fit the bearings - it could have 4 bearings as to support both the spindle and the drive system independently as to negate any lateral loads from the belt tension(quite akin to oldie-goldie lathes from the good old days)... But i refrained - for now... Anyways, enough essaying... Kind regards and best wishes! Steuss

Bit late to the party but I 've been meaning to subscribe to you but keep forgetting. This video had pushed me to subscribe. 👍😍 Your workholding is brilliantly creative, kind of like the old greats of model engineering had to be due to the lack of affordable benchtop milling machines. I'm definitely going to take inspiration from this video. Particularly liked the dual cams to allow the tightening to be adjustable. 🙂👍 There is one thing though you ought to try to avoid if you can, and that's holding endmills in a 3 or 4 jaw chuck. It's fine for drills as they have relatively soft shanks and so the jaws can grip on the drill shank. For endmills though it's not a good (or safe) thing to be doing. Really, you should use some kind of lathe collet chuck (or a morse taper collet held in the spindle bore with a drawbar, but that can be a bit of a pain in the arse). To get straight to the point: I have a spare ER32 collet chuck and a few ER32 collets that I have multiples of that should fit straight on to your lathe (I have a similar mini lathe to yours) and I'll happily post it to you as a gift. I'll even pay the postage. I'll send it just to make sure you're at least safe from a machine tool accident if nothing else.😄 I'm not sure how to contact you privately to give you an email address for me (not posting any of my email addresses on a public KZbin comments section😮😂) but I'm SouthernChap on the Hobby Machinist Forum, so you can PM me there (and verify I'm a real person and not sone kind of scammer or worse!😂). Below is an explanation about why holding endmills in a 3 or 4 jaw chuck isn't good, it's worth reading, even if you don't take me up on my offer. 😊 Endmills generally have very hard shanks and since the chuck jaws are also hard, there's not really enough grip. When using endmills, the forces tend to want to pull on the endmill. If there's the right tool holding being used, that's not a problem. The endmill will be held securely and won't shift (assuming sensible speeds/feeds/tooth load/depth of cut etc.) and all is good. But since the endmill can't be held totally securely in a 3 or 4 jaw chuck, you run rhe risk of the endmill being pulled away from the chuck qnd towards the part. That could lead to damage to your chuck jaws, the endmill and the part you're milling. It's possible that the endmill could get pulled out of the chuck completely and that could be very nasty for the person standing in front of the lathe.

I had an emco compact 5 which I inherited. Would have desperately needed this upgrade, even though it wouldnt have been possible, because the nut was actually just a cut thread in the cast part.

Think: the only main difference is what is still and revolving.

Можно было просто с натягом выточить и поставить

А без напильника не обошлось

Beautiful.

Surely a better use of these lathe skills would be to build a milling machine?

Beautiful.

if it doesn't look stupid and work, why not :D

😮,,💯💥

Da bekommt man die muttern von dem Backenfutter beschissen runter bzw drauf. Da ist ja ohne das Teil schon zu wenig platz

shity Chinese tools always need modify

Благодарю Вас коллега что делитесь знаниями. 👍🤝

Seing the quality you can achieve, you really owe it to yourself to make a new handle for your toolpost. Very creative use of a lathe 👍🏻

the way you used your lathe as a milling machine is incredible, well done!

Very nice work mate, especially all done on the lathe.

One of the best things I have seen in a while Thank You

👋👋

Очень красивая и функциональная разработка. Подписался.

Welldone

Can u give me this projector😄

Was thinking about how to make something like this before, but didn't think of using that portion of the spindle for clamping yet. I might copy your design in some way, thanks for the idea.

Merci

Milling machine? We don’t need no stinking milling machine!

Respect!!😌

Nice🙂

اهدار للوقت والمال

Красиво и аккуратно

Very well thought out. Well done

Very clever. I like it. Good work sir

Nice Polish coin.

This guy is wild with the lathe. That’s awesome.

Love seeing both the range of what can be done on a lathe, and also the shots where we can see your hands as you're working. Since I'm planning a small hobby shop myself, seeing this kind of lathe work shows me that I can get by without the mill for a good long while.

Great idea, colleague👍👍👍

You definitely earned my sub! Impressive how you maximize the use of your lathe in so many ways ❤

Dude, that was an awesome job. How is it that you’re a talented machinist enthusiast, yet…you haven’t built a milling machine, yet? I mean, if it helps, at Michael Uphoff’s channel he’s currently building a micro mill, you can probably get inspiration from and let your talent and magic hands loose. Nice job.

Ok...
