You need to stay in the trade because you have a gift of design and engineering especially for a man your age not too many young men even want to get to your level you will do well just keep up the great work I'm a retired machinist and trained a lot of young men but very few could get to your level great work

[@dexter1448]

Thanks! That motivates me a lot. I'm actually doing an apprenticeship as an electronics technician, I only do that as a hobby :)

[@robertcarmansr.204]

Cool you just explained to me how the direct feed is accomplished thanks buddy

[@lucianogrusovin5925]

Saying good is extremly simplistic!Go on like this!😀

[@carloeffigiati7275]

I salute you, Sir. You are very clever and very gifted.

[@KenzoAkihiro]

Without a doubt, a great job. And thinking, changing the size of those pulleys you can make metric threads and others, of course, calculating the pitch.

[@BrightBlueJim]

Except that with just friction drive from the belt, you can't rely on a repeatable ratio between the spindle and the power feed. Same problem the Taig lathes have.

[@lanhet]

Clever idea and nicely executed ! Thanks

@16:09 you had the right idea using the brush. Make yourself a little stand that attaches to your crossslide magnetically. You can even make an attachment to hold your cutting fluid bottle.

Kudos to you young man for all those fine ideas. Whilst I don't know your age, it seems you cannot be more than 20 years old, at max, are you? Keep it up as the future doesn't always look bright! However, being dexterous and handy with tools helps in any case and can get you out of any sticky situation.

Very talented young man with excellent video quality. My only question would be that chuck shaft is solid? So no long material going through although you do have long lathe bed between centres.

What a ambitious goal you have happening. This me, I'm Keith from Michigan USA. Doing projects like these, in my opinion, so people get really deep into those computer games. Now you have something you can say! I MADE THIS... Good work man, hopefully you are protecting your eyes, wearing glasses. Hopefully your give me a reply

Hello Keith, Thank you for your comment and your praise :D Yes, I really should wear goggles! I forget too often :( If you have any questions please ask, I'll try to answer every comment... I wish you a nice weekend Robin

[@wernerpfeifer]

Grandios !!! May I ask what you do professionally?

[@HorizonMakes]

That's honestly a genius way to implement the power feed. Have you thought of how to do thread cutting? Or are you skipping that option?

[@dexter1448]

Thanks :) I haven't needed it until now, but you could simply change the diameter of the toothed belt pulleys so that the pitch of the thread fits...

[@StudioMBB]

@@dexter1448 but what if the belt slips? You lose your pitch position

@Dexter144 Hey, welche Kugellager hast du verbaut also für die Welle und wo bekommt man so welche ?Und sind Kegelrollenlager die besten für eine Drehbank ?

[@dexter1448]

Moin, zuerst flanschlager (normale kugellager) später habe ich auf Kegelrollenlager gewechselt, das sind die Besten... (Sind auch im Radlager vom Autos und vielen anderen anwendungen) Die welle hab ich billig auf ebay geschossen. Ist eine 50mm S355 h6 welle Da hatte ich Glück, das war ein Resteverkauf...

[@Kai11017]

Okay danke für die schnelle Antwort

[@yak-machining]

Also ich habe mir deine Serie angesehen und muss sagen das ich extrem überrascht bin dass es nicht zu einem Fest der Vibrationen und der Unpräzision geworden ist 😂. Du hast sogar gute Oberflächen Qualität und akzeptable Schnittwerte. Vielleicht wäre es was für deine drehe es mit Epoxidharz Granit zu beschweren so dass du dann noch mehr Steifigkeit und weniger Vibrationen hast. Und ich empfehle dir richtige linearlager zu verwenden. Und sind die Lager vom Motor hinüber oder wo kommt dieses Geräusch her? Alles in allem echt krass 👏

[@dexter1448]

Danke sehr, nein, das ist der Frequenzumrichter...

[@cecilandrews7479]

Well the shaft is long enough you can put a gear to a gear with a pulley like that one and the second on your handle and have it feed the other way

[@BrightBlueJim]

Or similarly, the worm shaft can have a similar pulley on the opposite end, and the worm can be slid one way or the other to provide drive in either direction

[@nurlan620]

Oto fon Bismark 😅😅😅

[@claudio668]

My dear, I do not believe that this device will be able to linearly advance the longitudinal carriage of the lathe, because the contact between the belt and the pulley is very bad and, as soon as the tool comes into contact with the material to be machined, this device will probably lose its synchronism and constancy.

[@dexter1448]

Hello, no, it works great. The gearbox makes so mutch torque, that you cant stop the carriage.. Whatch the end of the Video and you will see...

[@claudio668]

My dear, not stopping doesn't mean the belt won't slip. As long as the belt is new I believe this works relatively well, however as the belt deteriorates I think there will be slipping. For a simple machining, this won't even have much effect, but if this device is used for threading, a mere slip can ruin an entire thread.

[@dexter1448]

@@claudio668 I dont use it to cut Threads... This would not work with this gear. But in my case the Gearbox produce as mutch Torque that you cant stop the handwheel from spinning.
