DIY Metal Lathe Machine Without Using a Lathe Machine

Support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sekaustria?fa... Project no.78 diy homemade mini metal lathe machine (torno)
The lathe machine is good for facing bronze aluminum and alloy steel, when it comes to Mild steel its a different story i tested it and you see in the video it also can work with mild steel but it make some vibrations in the head and some weird noise that im sure its not normal.
Upgrades that needs to be done to the lathe machine:
use another high quality Pillow block bearing, Adding a Drill press pulley System and Changing atleast 1/2 or 3/4hp motor.

[@stupid-handle]

In case you don't know it, for the chuck you can get rid of those three expensive bearings, and use a tube with two bearings on each side, back to back, of the type used in car/trucks wheel hubs. These are tapered roller bearings, and are basically to conical matching parts (each). These will be able to handle more axial load than your lathe can put out, and even if from the scrap yard and used, will get you more precision and repeatability than those three altogether.

[@policedog4030]

Good idea, and when you say "tube" did you have in mind something like 10 to 15 Centimeters (4 to 6 inch) diameter steel tube or pipe to house the bearings?

Excellent, I'm coming over for some lessons.

[@christurnblom4825]

But why did you not have the heart to tell him what he did wrong? Did you maybe figure that he learned what he did wrong in the process? It's great that he accomplished this but I don't know for sure that he does know the important differences between this and one that wouldn't require hammering a bearing on as we saw. Looks like that bearing didn't turn so well either after he did that. What would you say ...+/- .002" repeatability & accuracy? I haven't made my own but I have rebuilt a little Smithy (Midas) 1220-xl except for the gearbox. Fortunately, the gearbox was sealed and hadn't been contaminated with sand rust like everything else. I'm just glad I went to school, watched 1000+ hours of videos and read up extensively, on the subjects I needed to know to make the thing chooch. The one thing I didn't realize though, was that the main reason my teachers were telling me not to get a mill/lathe combo was because they are horribly inefficient when you need to go from milling to turning or vice versa. The two just interfere with each other to much so If I gotta turn anything larger than 2.5" dia. the vice either has to come off or I have to position the vice far to one side so I have to take the work out of the vice & turn it around to mill the other side, just as one example. Maybe he could make some modification to get some preloading. ...?

[@georgeblack589]

Very clever use of already fabricated parts! The ways and carriage are super hard to make, but your method simplifies the whole process, and could certainly be scaled up!

[@Reman1975]

For a light duty* DIY home workshop lathe, using linear rails is a reasonably workable idea. The 20mm ones he's got are pretty strong, and have a useful amount of mass to them to help prevent tool chatter. Where they fall down though is there's hardly any designs of bearing blocks that have a way to adjust for wear on them. Once there's play in them you can't just tighten up gib screws or resurface the ways. I suppose if you're careful about the bolt hole positioning when building it you could turn the rails around and use the less worn ends to get a bit more life out of them, But you'll probabbly still need to buy new bearing blocks. (*By "Light duty" I mean one that's not used 24/7. If well thought out and constructed I'd think a DIY lathe made using linear rails would probably handle more strain and stay accurate longer than one with traditional dove tail ways, It's just that when it DOES show signs of wear there's not a lot you can do to sort it out other than replacing some pretty expensive hardware.)

[@needdamemes2757]

honestly for an inexpensive DIY lathe this is really good, I had never considered using optical rails or bearing blocks

[@Hellsong89]

@@needdamemes2757 There is also issue of chips and metal dust getting into bearing blocks, ruining them real fast if not protected. There should some accessory parts to those blocks witch try prevent this from happening, but its not perfect solution and as mentioned just little wear and those are next to useless, ending up just wrecking havoc to inserts and surface finish. Its same effect that happened with my DIY mill, from cheap drillpress, cheap cross feed table and rather expensive tooling that got ruined every time it bumped. Tried it in "vertical lathe" setup but similar thing happened. Then again his pillow bearing blocks wont be that accurate anyways, so this is well suited for occasional bushing adapter or such work, but any proper machining tolerances you can forget, though this is lots sturdier than cheap chinese lathes on the market, so with little design chances like cup bearing in the axle to center it properly, replacing threaded rod with machine screw with suitable slack removal like two nuts with strong spring between and building some protection for the ways, sure this will be much cheaper and does what it was designed to do.

[@joepie221]

Excellent project. I applaud your effort and the end result. If you find you have rigidity issues, you may wish to consider a larger diameter main spindle shaft and possibly tapered bearings to eliminate end play. Also, maybe I missed it, take the chuck off that backing plate and face the plate so you know its true to the shaft, then re-assemble the chuck to it.. Welding has a way of making things move a bit. Thumbs up from me.

[@baremetaltechtv]

just here to upvote facing the backplate, no reason why you shouldn't eliminate as much cause of error as you can, this will help you hold a better tolerance and make your parts run a bit more true. Facing the back plate and getting some tapered roller bearings the chuck would go a long way, this DIY late should make some great parts after some upgrades.

[@manudehanoi]

1) the chuck shaft should be 1st aligned with the lathe ways by putting a long straight shaft in the 3 bearings and check the alignment with a micrometer held on the carriage (using a magnet holder for ex) and moved along the ways. Alignemnt of the chuchk shaft can be modified using the adjusment screws on the 3 bearings. 2) the chuck backplate should be then turned on the lathe so that the ridge that goes in the chuck is concentric with the chuck shaft, only then should the backplate be drilled.

[@qwertzbalken6076]

This machine ain't accurate enough for this anyway lol. I mean, hot rolled steel? Chinese Hardware? Get Real.

[@namtech425]

Great work just as a point for the future, instead of using a solid roundbar for the head shaft use a 3mm or bigger walled pipe, this will allow you to turn longer projects that run through the pipe, but this would mean you will have to replace those head bearings as well for bigger units and resleaving the main pully. Good luck and I like this build.

23:35 I am sure there are dozens of other comments about this but never leave the chuck key in the chuck like that, it is a very common injury and can really ruin your day. Also you should make an arbor press soon to help with seating bearings and other press fitting operations, hitting bearings like that with a hammer is a good way to cause unneeded premature damage and wear to the bearing races, and always make sure you are applying the force to the part of the bearing that is fitting into the housing or on the shaft as ball bearings are not that good at handling excessive axial load and can be damaged pretty easily if you exceed the ratings

Things to do. Make a carriage stop to lock the carriage so it can't move along the bed when doing facing cuts. Next, remove the chuck and face its mounting plate, then cut a register step so that the chuck will be concentric without having to use a hammer. That will also ensure it can't slip. After those projects, use the lathe to make some bearings for the leadscrews. Then go on to fabricate a gear drive between the spindle and lead screw, at least for power feed. Thread cutting needs exact ratios between spindle and lead screw.

If you do, you'd be much better off using taper roller bearings, even if not precision bearings. Maybe even ones off junk car with good wheel bearings. You can see the these bearings runout when he starts a cut. These pillow blocks are not meant for axial load and there's noway to preload them like a taper bearing. I think doing that and moving the toolpost closer to spindle would give you a chance at decent surface finish, it just is not going to happen with those bearings and and that much tool stickout.

I wish you don't mind if I give you some constructive comments: 1. The chuck is the last thing you should mount on the lathe. Weld the flange for the chuck on the shaft at first. Then you can lathe the flange to fit on the chuck that will be perfectly centered. Welding afterwards makes changes to the metal. 2. You don't need three bearings in line, not on the slide rails neither the short spindle shaft. The middle bearing is practically unnecessary.

[@fededevi1985]

That's very nice considering what you had to work with. Chucks always have a precision shoulder on the back to align the mandrel with the chuck. You should face the backplate without the chuck and machine the male shoulder on it. The diameter have to be as precise as possible compared to the inner diameter in the back of the chuck so the alignment will be precise too. This should give a good alignment on the jaw of the chuck then you can get a nice reference round bar, put it on the chuck and align the carriages to the rotation axis by putting a micrometer on the carriage and moving it up and down and see/fix the error. But I understand that this was more of a proof of concept. Nice work.

I could quibble a LITTLE on some details (I'd have used countersunk screws on the top of the cross slide, etc), but generally I'm very impressed! My ONE suggestion would have been to use a larger shaft... that chuck is going to make a LOT of side-load, and flex that shaft a LOT. I'd have used at least double that diameter - which, granted, would drive up the cost of the pillow blocks... Still, in total, WELL DONE! (Oh, and PS... COVER your WAYS when grinding! :-) )
