I have a whole garage full of real machines that I've acquired over 30 years. I admire what your doing greatly! A little suggestion, if you were to make a lathe all over again design the fabricated bed in such a way you could fill it with concrete! This would greatly add to its rigidity and dampening ability. During WW1 Lathes were needed so quickly there was no time for foundry work so beds were tubular/bushing slides and concrete.

Somethings you just cant teach, those are the gifts god gives us, why one person can just sit down and build a lathe out of scrap materials and another person wouldn't be able to do it with a gun to their head is beyond my understanding. The point is these people come from all walks of life, when looking for talent disqualifing people based on where they went to school, what city they came from, or what company they worked at doesnt make much sense. Some of your best men will have not even gone to school, others may have a phd, some are from poor families, some from rich, but in the end all brilliant people seem to find their way to the same place.

What do you mean it’s not as good as a store bought lathe ?!! Yours is better than my vevor 8x14” lathe !! Suggestion, if you want smooth finishes and no bumpy bumps it’s incredibly important that you get your x and y axis as rigid as possible with absolutely no movement. That way when you go to turn your part the tool post doesn’t move and your chuck needs to be extremely rigid with zero give. Also bolt your lathe to the table or tack it in place if you have a steel table . If you do this you will be able to make incredibly accurate parts down to the thousandth and below.

Do yourself a favor…just BUY the lathe. You’ll never get the rigidity you need to cut clean, and the “chatter” it’ll make, especially without a spindle and center, will rattle all kinds of shit loose, ruin your workpiece, knock things out of alignment, possibly crack welds, etc. And I’m not sure what kind of torque you’ll get out of that motor, but center drilling is a hole other story. I’ve been chasing my tail with a hand-me-down MICRO lathe long enough now to understand I need a bigger/rigid lathe to get the results I want for other builds. Even the $600 or so lathe from HF will perform better out of the box than after all the time and effort you’d have to put into this one. Good luck man, and keep building! #justmytwocents

I've seen you've been replying to recent comments so I wanted to ask a few questions before I attempted this at home. 1. What is the thickness/height of the steel tubing you used? I have some 1/16-inch thick and 1.25-inch tall tubes, but I'm not sure they will hold up to the task. 2. What tolerances were you able to achieve with your build? +/- .1-inch? 3. Why was the framing as long/spacious as it is? Such as the area where the motor sits? Or how high the chuck lies from the base of the frame. I'm in the process of making a smaller version with many of the design concepts you've used, as they are (scuffed yet) beautifully simple. The only complaints I have are how there aren't any shots at the end of the video with the build fully complete, or a list of the materials you used. Other than that, really awesome video and super inspiring. Thank you.
@Neally Жыл бұрын
1: I don’t remember exactly, but I think it was something like 1 1/2in with 1/8 wall thickness. 2: I never bothered testing for tolerance because of how much variability there was right from the start. It could be as bad as 1/16, close to the chuck, with it worse further out. 3: The extra space was for a tailstock that never ended up getting made. The primary thing I’d do differently if I could go back is to make the rails have angled sides to act like dove tails, same thing on the cross slide. Hope this helped, Neally
@Soulliom Жыл бұрын
@@Neally Hmm, I guess I'll try with my 1/16 inch thick walls and add some extra framing to keep ot rigid. Hopefully that goes well lol. Also, 1/16 inch tolerance really isn't even that bad for a project like this. But it sounds like the concentricity of the chuck is off, which could either be a big or a small issue. When you mentioned dove tails, did you mean angling the framing that the carriage slides on by 45 degrees? What difference do you think that would make? Thanks for the super quick reply man, hope all your future projects go well!
@Neally Жыл бұрын
The way my rails are set up makes it so that high pressure on the slide will lift the slide off the rail, I counteracted this by putting tension on the lead screw, but that creates its own issues. If you make your rails so that they are angled you are able to tighten the fit of the slide on the rails creating a drastically better fit, look up dovetail lathe ways on google, I guarantee it’ll save you a headache or two😂 Take care and good luck!

BTW, конструкции катастрофически не хватает жёсткости. Необходимо выровнять станину и добавить дополнительных рёбер жесткости. Также было бы неплохо использовать трубу без продольного пропила в узле крепления подшипников вала. Также не помешала бы самая простая задняя бабка с самым простым конусом на подшипнике. Это значительно увеличит качество обработки и повысит точность. Лично я бы ещё использовал не цепную передачу, а ременную, т.к. это исключит риски поломок в случае застревания резца в заготовке и снизит количество используемых деталей для передачи, что повысит надёжность и КПД системы. I am too lazy to translate all of this, so pls do it by yourself. It will be more accurate, than my own or online translation. Have a nice day!

4:55 man I am crying I can see that wobble from here. Jokes aside very well done man. Hey I wanted to add a few things that might be helpful. If you do turn crankshafts or anything that will require really tight tolerances I would take really shallow cuts until you are certain the maximum runout your machine has. Also, while chain drives are very good at not slipping you actually want the opposite on a lathe. If your belt is tensioned correctly it will only slip if something goes horribly wrong. One thing that can fix some of the runout would be replacing that needle thrust bearing you heating with a new one. Make a jig to install it perfectly square on the shaft and if it's a tight fit either freeze the shaft and then try or have it press fit. Other side of that coin is the chuck was welded on which added some distortion. I really like what you did with that bench grinder motor. Mine always got way too hot and I actually rounded a small radiator from a window ac to pull heat from mine but your method seems much easier. Still very well done man . Last thing I promise you can used a start capacitor with a little more microfarad to give that motor more of a lunch when starting. Please, be careful spinning that be hand it will take your finger like nothing.

Great. Don't pay any attention to untalented detractors. I think you are definitely a genius, no kidding. I knew, as you did, that by using the materials and tools you had on hand that this machine was not going to be incredibly precise or powerful. But, it is incredible; a very handy tool for turning down stock. If you need super precision for a project you can always take your stock to a machine shop. I think you should have taken the pipe to a machine shop and had the ends turned down for a good bearing fit though, it would have made it run truer. Also, don't heat a bearing any warmer than 150 degrees Fahrenheit, that should be lots to slide it on a shaft at room temperature, without damaging the bearing. Again, excellent work!

Two things i'd change to the recipe 1. rigidity 2. rigidity Basically A frame for the spindle bearing supports. Not a box frame. That's not only not rigid, but it's also something that can build resonance. The riser for the tool block, that'd have to be more rigid as well, with a wedge put inside (there's a woodworking channel that built a cheapo vise, and that's how he did his vise jaws. Tube + wedge inside - aka triangle). Finally, the ways of the lathe, i would build them in a triangulated fashion, as close as possible to straight (but i wouldn't put too much effort into it at first) and parallel. I'd also make them such that the "legs" could be buried inside a large concrete block that spans the width and length of the lathe. Once those are in set, to make things parallel, square, even whatever, i'd choose where cuts could be made from the sub frame (the concrete) and before making the cut, i'd weld a nut and a plate and cut between them. That way, if you want to tighten or expand that joint to brings to even, you can use a bolt to push or pull based on its position, before welding the cut back. All welds done in this operation would have to be very quickly chilled, so a wet towel should be in place. This could yield a bigger lathe, on the cheap.

@Neally Thanks for pinning Alex Bucjanan his comment. Me, a 3 year student dropout (to become a Master machinist) was having internal thoughts. I wont share those tho cause after 10 years becoming a programmer, and not touching a lathe anymore... I would love getting into welding and build a lathe myself (or buy... if I have the coin). His book recommendation is on my to get list, welding equipment, and some other tools.

Oh I had to, his comment was so insightful it would have been a crime not too. I think being able to work on your own terms is incredibly freeing, so definitely go for it, my friend!

Wow! After watching you make this all on your own, I’m feeling much more confident that i cannot make my own lathe and i will be going to Harbor Freight as soon as the beer fund is refilled!

Yep, I think I should have done that from the start 😂
