Homemade DIY Small CNC Lathe 【DIJEST】

#DIY#CNC#5axis#Awesome_CNC_Freek
How to make a DIY CNC Lathe series digest.
I had always wanted a CNC lathe to lathe metal , but there were no CNC lathes on the market that were small enough to fit in my soundproof box and could lathe metal, so I decided to build one myself.
It took about four months to produce.

[@Xlaxsauce]

its pretty cool. If you ever build another you can get granite reference surfaces which can be grade A from many sites, even amazon for fairly cheap. They make a great starting point for a rigit lathe or mill. If you can I'd switch out the risers for the chuck with cast iron. There is also rubberized epoxy you can put between the riser and the bed as well as the riser and the chuck to dampen sound and keep the bolts from vibrating loose.

[@a-cnc-f]

Thanks for the advice. I'm glad you are interested.

[@johnkelly7264]

This is brilliant! Subbed here.

[@neffk]

Looks like you've started from nothing but now have working machines. That is impressive. I saw you included footage of parting off steel, too, which is a good test for rigidity. The sound it makes shows that there is still opportunity to improve. It's hard to know what causes vibration. Sometimes it is something small. I'm working on a 9x20 lathe at the moment, trying to make it more rigid. One trick is to put an indicator on a part and try to move it with your hands or pry bar. Something as simple as bolting the machine to a bench can make a huge difference.

[@a-cnc-f]

I agree with you. Mechanical strength is very important. The tests you mention are done in part 7. Anyway, I would like to increase the strength of the machine as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6a8eIdqd9p5o9E

[@besenyeim]

@@a-cnc-f did you use a cross slide from a cheap minilathe? Most of the time, they are terrible. Al riser blocks under the spindle aren't the best solution either. Otherwise, it's a nice build. I like the base and the use of guideways.

[@a-cnc-f]

@@besenyeim Cheap parts can have product problems. But high quality products are expensive.

[@besenyeim]

@@a-cnc-f Have you considered making your own cross slide with guide rails? I think you can make a better one.

[@a-cnc-f]

I have thought about it. The problem is that I don't have good machine to make it. I have a 5-axis CNC machine that I built myself, but the machine size is small and it is not strong and powerful enough to do high precision machining.

[@mikecarlson6416]

cool

[@lexxkrivosh8560]

не буду смотреть минус сразу за музыку.) Удачи.

[@smkole2]

That's awesome! How did you collect so many skills? How did they come together for machining? Curious to find out and exchange background history. Subscribed and hooked. TY

[@a-cnc-f]

This is the result of researching each of the unknowns. There are still many things I don't know.

[@lpjunction]

Real awesome freak, I just subscribed. Good work. I would suspect the main lathe axial bearing part isn't rigid enough. Would love to see your new works soon.

[@a-cnc-f]

As for strength, I'd like to improve on that a bit.

[@xyzspec82]

🙌🏻👌🏻

[@winandd8649]

Nice project! 😎(horrible music though 🙉)

[@Anhad1313]

i want ready

[@itanc1]

Totally awesome dood! I have been looking at my old lathe and my pile of Cnc parts and wondering if i should build a new Cnc lathe. I think i will now! Love the resin base. Looked like it struggled a bit with parting off, id be interested to know if and how you have overcome this. Did you do the tool changer and live tools?

[@a-cnc-f]

My focus is on making the machine smaller. I am thinking about tool changer and milling, but that is my next project. Currently, I am working on a new 5-axis CNC machine. Once this is finished, I believe I should be able to easily make advanced parts with it. So I'm thinking of further modifying the CNC lathe.

[@ChrisHarmon1]

Be interested to know what the red cast block was? You have sandpaper glue to it? Awesome build but I question the linear rails you went with look like they are for low load linear motion like 3d printing?

[@a-cnc-f]

Thanks. Certainly, linear guides are not designed for high loads.

[@paradiselost9946]

great work, but sadly... mild steel and aluminium will never quite match solid cast iron. i was holding the edge of my seat watching that parting blade. really seems there would be a market for a basic 4 axis mill/lathe combo. in cast iron. with a bit more meat behind it than the average sieg...

[@user-ug7wi9zh4i]

Круто 👍

[@bridgetshepherd5202]

Very cool! Looks like you have a lack of rigidity, probably due to the belts, any plan to change to screws?

[@a-cnc-f]

thr belts is used for miniaturization and sound deadening. There are no plans to change this at this time.

[@montafoam]

Amazing woork man You r jineus

[@a-cnc-f]

Thanks for the compliment, it motivates me.

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Fantastic job. The epoxy granite should be plenty rigid enough?

[@a-cnc-f]

Epoxy granite has long been used as a substitute for casting castings. It should be strong enough. In fact, after building this CNC lathe, I have no complaints about the epoxy granite base.

[@Tater1337]

one year later are those linear rails still working? what would you do different?

[@a-cnc-f]

So far, no problems. I don't use it that often to begin with. And I don't have the power to do that much heavy cutting, so it's not enough to break me. For now.

[@Jan_Seidel]

Awesome Job 😃 Only flaw is the base of epoxy. It is prone to resonance.

[@a-cnc-f]

Epoxy granite is an excellent material for machine bases. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy_granite

[@cosimorizzo8700]

Awesome job, compliments:D. Can this machine be used as a watchmaker lathe?

[@a-cnc-f]

I think it can probably be done.

[@MrBcaubenoidoi]

👍👍👍🎉

[@zircontweezers4904]

that's crazy

[@heyheyjc]

What's the grey filler you used in the epoxy?

[@a-cnc-f]

yes. An epoxy granite machine base can be made with epoxy, sand and gravel.

[@aaaooaao9949]

Kleinigkeiten, Die in meinen Augen eine Verbesserung darstellen würden: -Der Motor für den Ober-Support liegt genau im Späne-Regen - auf der anderen Seite angebracht sollte Dieser weniger ab bekommen. -Endschalter besser 'überfahrbar' montieren - damit die Achse am Endschalter vorbei fahren kann - und nicht den Endschalter zerquetscht, wenn's doch Mal blöder läuft. ... hehe ... 10 Sekunden später ... der Endschalter IST überfahrbar (zumindest der Eine - ich schaue weiter) -Verlöten der Litze: Bei dieser Art Klemme sollte Das kein Problem darstellen (federbelastet) - bei Schraubklemmen wäre Das aber ein 'no-go' - das Lot fließt unter dem Druck der Schraube langsam weg und der Kontakt wird schlechter - bei Schraubklemmen Aderendhülsen (könnten entfallen, wenn die Schraube nicht direkt auf die Ader drückt, also z.B. bei Aufzug-Klemmen - schaden aber auch dort nicht - die paar Cent sollte einem die Sache wert sein). -Die Drehzahl-Anzeige könnte man von den Ansteuerungs-Signalen ableiten - wäre dann auch genauer/schneller reagierend, als bei Aktualisierung 1x/Umdrehung Alles in Allem respektable Arbeit und ich bekomme wieder Lust, meinen Versuch ebenfalls wieder Leben einzuhauchen (Grundplatte ist ein schwerer Tisch mit Führungen drauf - achja, Portal-Fräse bei mir ... vll. ... irgendwann ... :) )

[@DeamRules]

Hätte es nicht besser beschreiben können 😄 Vllt wäre noch die gesamte Stabilität der Konstruktion zu bemängeln - siehe Zerspanung am Ende des Videos. Sehr viel Optimierungspotential, aber im ganzen eine solide Idee für sowas. Mich wunderts dass dein Kommentar von den ganzen begeisterten noch nicht zerpflückt wurde 😂 denn es heißt ja oft „die Deutschen können nichts loben - immer nur meckern“ 🤣 Man hat da wohl einfach andere Standards als andere Nationen 😅

[@a-cnc-f]

Thanks for all the advice. I was very worried about the placement of the stepper motor on the X axis. One of the most important aspects of this lathe for me is the small size. I have imagined that it would come down to the cutting tip motor, but in terms of miniaturization I thought this was the best placement. I will act on your opinion regarding the switch. I am glad if you felt something when you watched my video.

[@a-cnc-f]

Thank you.

[@dokmetasonur]

Did you try to turn the cutter upside down for parting operations?

[@a-cnc-f]

I have never tried it. But I will give it a try. Thank you. Thank you.

[@thombaz]

Why would you? With the right speed and feed settings, and with the right cutting tool profile It would do the job easily if its rigid enough. From the video, the feed and the profile is pretty off in my opinion.

[@dokmetasonur]

@Thom if the lathe is not strong enough for parting, cutting upside down is better. When the machine flexes, tool doesn't pull into the workpiece.

[@thombaz]

@@dokmetasonur The forces seems to be the same to me. In normal position the knife is pushed down to a muc more stable surface the some screws. I never used it upside down tho, only other knifes and only for speed.

[@a-cnc-f]

I missed your comment, sorry. The machining conditions for grooving are difficult. I will put out a video of machining with the tool mounted the other way around in my next video.

Best way to do parting is to cut in reverse so that your tool doesn't get pulled into the workpiece.
