How i converted my lathe in a turn table

[@Starlight012]

Watching you makes me feel that I'm no longer alone in this world. The urges to invent, hacks and persuade our innate curiosity. Very creative and solid execution. Thanks for your inspiring videos. cheers

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Thank you very much!

[@dksix1905]

A really great idea and execution of it. I'm always looking for ways to do more with the equipment I have, as I'm sure many are. As a hobbyist metal worker with no formal training, the guys (like yourself) who take the time to make and post video's are a great asset for someone like me. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks.

[@Proteusbound]

Claudio.. very simple and ingenious.. Thank you. A whole new life for my lathe.

[@amrjas]

Excellent engineering skills you have , hats off to you

[@karlheinz10]

Great, just great .. definitely you're my idol in mechanical, again I congratulate friend.

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

thank you very much!

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Yes, the long rail is fixed to the bench of the lathe and, given the long lever, stabilizes the position of the spindle

[@georgeburghduf3431]

Very clever. The pile of cigarette butts reminds me of my father's tinkering / repair / restoration area of our garage.

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

hahaha it's a bad habit ....

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Dale, I am very pleased. So good job! Claudio

[@duckslayer11000]

Damn good thinker you got on your shoulders

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

thank you man!

[@flfano]

Very innovative. Well done.

[@FrankLopezx]

very slick of you, that was creative and useful !

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

I look forward to! Good luck!

[@dannywilsher4165]

Good job! Next project, you need to make a reciprocating arm to move your gear cutting tool back and forth so you don't have to do it manually.

[@cyrex686]

Great idea! Generic spur gears are a lot cheaper then dividing plates :)

[@pcrengnr1]

The concrete anchor used as a shaft extension was most creative and clever. I am going to get right on this attachment for my lathe. Thx a bunch for sharing Paul.

[@tboost007]

Actually i should add that this idea has so much more potential if you want to drill indexed holes, cut grooves etc using a powertool mounted to the tool post.

[@klaloz]

Good Idea! Fine Job.

[@jimburnsjr.]

super simple.. extremely useful.. Thanks very much i would have never thought of that or knew it without you.. subscribed

[@randr10]

Very simple solution to a complex and expensive problem. You could also build your own turn table using those same lathe gears. Turn a spindle to duplicate your lathe's so it will accept both your threading gear and your lathe chucks. Thanks for the video!

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Thank you too!

[@ponkkaa]

Amazing! necessity (and frugality) is the mother of invention. I'm bookmarking this vid for later use. My grizzly lathe arrives next month.

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

@ Walter Ellington, the music I used is "Again" by Secrets in stereo. It's a free music track you can find on KZbin' editor

[@xmrrush8355]

awesome video thanks for sharing, and screw all the disliking haters

[@nikhilkumarsood]

Really Amazing..... You are Rewarded with a new Subscriber👍

[@yanito1979]

Amazing! Great work.

[@MotorClassics]

Nice job and good idea

[@dgreene909]

Outstanding!

[@antmallett6065]

So simple, so effective. But I doubt I would have ever thought of it. Brilliant.

[@MrEpiphoneplayer]

how could anyone dislike this vid? jealousy? maybe so incompetent with their hands that they missed the like button?lol,fabulous vid, very inventive,excellent engineering,very inspiring, i wasn't going to play with my new lathe today but now!see you all in a bit!thanks for posting your ideas.i'm now subbed and very inspired. Dan,uk.

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Thank you very much Dan!

[@black_sheep_fab9411]

That's quite ingenious

[@1AMERICANWORKER]

Doing it this way also saves money as the profile cutters can be made in-house.

[@michaelrosenlof1084]

Clever and very well done--Thanks

[@Lechoslowianin]

Do not simply make a scale on of the driving disc and clamp?

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

The starting parameters are usually: force you want to transfer , the materials you use to create the gear and the number of teeth (z) to get the reduction that you need. This data will give you options to choose the size of the teeth. You can easily find these rules of "gears" on Wikipedia. The real problem will be make the tool ... I have drawn in a CAD program and then I realized it by machining a hss steel rod with a grinding wheel mounted on the drill.

[@75Bird455]

Nice Job. Nothing beats making your own tools!

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Thank you for sharing my video! I hope you take a look also the result of the work that has been mounted on my r / c model! Cheers

[@Askjerry]

I like it. I have a dividing plate... but your method is simple and easy for most people to follow... no fancy calculations or expensive equipment. I shared your link with the local groups here in Austin. Thank you!

[@DangerousDrummerDado]

Bloody marvelous!

[@tboost007]

Brilliant.. love simple ideas that just work how they are meant to. well done.

[@Josh-xr1xu]

I've been a machinist for 20+ years and I'm proud of my work quality and resourcefulness, but when I see machinists like yourself, that are skilled, very creative and think outside of the box, I just want to throw in the towel. LOL. Great idea. Hope to get my own lathe someday to try this.

[@andrevorobiev662]

Magnificently!!!!

[@karmajoseph3961]

verry nice

[@kar9sk]

as they say, necessity is the mother of invention! ive been a machinist for 15 years and have a collection of such devices and serve a very important role in my day to day job, some original ideas, some of which are truly inspired by craftsman as yourself. very clever and thank you for sharing a great video!

[@drichard12]

All I did was built a very rigid steel base that my rotary table and dividing head mount vertically on to behind the lathe where your gear is mounted in your video, and clamp the jaws of the chuck directly onto the lathe. There is no play at all when the rotary table or dividing head is locked. definitely unplug the lathe when I use it though.

[@misterfixit1952]

Nice piece of work. I did the same thing using a piece of pipe, that fit into my spindle. I cut the pipe at a 45 deg angle about 1/3 the way from the chuck end and used a length of allthread to pull it tight into the spindle with a washer and a nut on the outside end and I brazed a nut onto the chuck end.. Took me about 30 minutes to make. After the outside nut is tightened, I use the ratchet to turn the spindle.

[@2001himax]

I made one for my 9x20 Enco lathe. Works great thanks to you. Now in the process of cutting a gear I need. I could buy one but I love the idea of knowing I make it myself. Thanks. Norman

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Thank you very much, I'm happy for you, so... have a good job!

[@sinsilius]

Genius

[@tallerdiroca]

In the other video I think it was a CNC lathe, but I wonder when I see the kind of tooling. Now I have to copy these in my shop men is incredible, good job and congratulations.

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Thank you! it's an instrumental music of youtube... " Again"

[@wbmphd]

BEAUTIFULLY MADE! I plan to model mine after your design! On another note (no pun intended!), what song do you have in the video? I like it!

[@pmaci56]

the lathe is very similar to mine good idea on the dividing part i might look into making one when i get mine running again

[@sarsonm]

again, grate work,

[@dantesalvesdesantana2766]

Ótimo trabalho, uma verdadeira engenhosidade, tenho uma parafernália em meu canal de uma olhada talvez algo lhe sirva.

[@Stelios.Posantzis]

Nice trick but don't you need an foolproof safety to ensure that the lathe can't be turned on while this thing is in the axle?

[@singaporeseaslugs1393]

This is the smartest thing i have seen on the internet, holy fuck, i feel stupid for not thinking of this

[@robl496]

Ottima idea...complimenti!!

[@RardSFX]

Very inventive, great job.

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Hi man, as far as I know would be very complicated broaching helical gears as the classic rectilinear motion of the tool at the same time you should add a twist and on a lathe would be very complicated! The idea was to use a C40 but I had great trouble finding it, so I folded up a common FE370 and by increasing measures project to nearly double the standard ... A short time ago I wanted to check the status of the gears after a few stress tests and they are in excellent condition!

[@Roadstercycle]

Genius, What a great add on for a lathe. One of my next projects

[@WojciechP915]

Is the other end of that long bar piece attached to something to keep it from rotating? I like this very much and will build one like it. Thanks

[@MrJackandEmily]

That's pretty smart!

[@vanessacorp50]

can u make one off this tool for my lathe i need urgent please

[@carmelofarrugia5855]

very kind to show suchsimple but effective work thanks for sharing

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

I honestly had not thought of this solution but lock the spindle using the signs may be inaccurate and laborious. ;-)

[@filmproducentje]

see my channel for the video he is obviously not as nice as yours

[@jdwisdom9433]

Now that's using your noodle!

[@gweliver]

OK, at 2:48 is see how I need to build my spill tray, I need to support it on the outside diameter with a thick supportive kinda of thing? Ha, thanks so much, this did not have anything to do with your video, so I will shut up and learn... Many Loves Dearest, (Alibaba Jardon)!

[@hugoleblanc6490]

Very good idea and very good job! Thanks for sharing!

[@FredMiller]

A wonderful implementation Claudio! You are indeed very talented. I love the music too. Thank you! Fred

[@titanalfa7865]

it is built into my Atlas 10 inch lathe.

[@TheLXKid]

As a "newbie" hobby metal lather, I am so amazed at the ingenuity of people! Great idea and workmanship! Thanks for sharing.

[@kekkorr]

i miei complimenti, non è da tutti sfornare qualcosa del genere

[@4literbeater94]

I really enjoyed this videos I have seen thus far. I learned the techniques used to machine gears and the set up you have used to index the location of each tooth you were cutting. I do have two questions however; how would one go about cutting a helical gear? Also, what material were you using to make your reduction planetary gears out of?

[@sonicthewhackjob]

That's f*cking brilliant

[@lodhiautos9761]

Very nice and educative video. Its amazing. Thank you very much for your hard work and sharing.

[@AdventureswithJane]

Very nicely done.

[@technoshamanarchist]

Very good, but that belt tension adjustment pulley should be pressing the v-belt from the OUTSIDE..

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

+technoshamanarchist Hi technoshamanarchist, you have absolutely right, normally the pulley is mounted in the way that you suggest. In this video it is mounted bad because then I would have taken off for safety.

[@technoshamanarchist]

+CLAUDIO GRASSI I'm no lathe expert. I just have the same lathe in Optimum brand. Thank you for sharing your neat projects :)

[@GeneralG1810]

OMG that is fantastic would never have thought of that, always a pleasure to watch a good craftsman

[@tarcnaktar5136]

Congratulations, Claudio it's very cleverly. have a nice working

[@filmproducentje]

I made i ​​the same way (thanks the plans of you), I will make a video and show xD sorry for my bad English I'am a Dutchman

[@livebyhonor]

love this. was looking for some way of doing this so I can add a ability to my custom lightsaber line up.

[@FrankLopezx]

tho i have a Q isn't a lathe a shaft that already turns? and a lathe is what ppl use to spin cylinder stock to turn into screws, worm gears and so forth ?

[@gorillaau]

Frank Lopez Yes, in general you are not concerned with how times the chuck turns over, the traverse speed of the tool tip compared with the position of the chuck as the thread is cut. Here, chuck is locked to an indexed location, with the tool tip shaving off a small amount of material each time.

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

I am very happy! I'm waiting for your video, have a good job!

[@girouxlgg]

GÊNIUS!!!!!

[@claudiov428]

Ottimo, sistema alquanto ingegnoso direi. Personalmente essendomi ritrovato nella necessità di fare una puleggia per il mio piccolo tornio da hobby, e per il ricambio dover aspettare un mesetto,pur avendo fatto il dentatore meccanico per 16 anni, ora in pensione, non avevo una ruota dentata con quel numero di denti, e neppure una minimamente vicina e divisibile per poi raggiungere il risultato. Alla fine l'idea, che ho avuto, e poi visto, sommariamente simile mesi dopo sul tube, è stata quella di creare una sorta di divisore solidale al rotolamento del mandrino stesso. Ho quindi usato un semplice goniometro, un ago per fare da puntatore, una lente fissata sullo chassis del tornio collimata col puntatore, e per ultimo un freno in grado di bloccare il madrino. Dopo aver realizzato tale sistema di divisione, tutt'ora montato sul tornio. Una volta fatto l''utensile, con grande pazienza e i logici conti, ho realizzato la famosa puleggia,che sta ancora lavorando senza problemi. E tutto con un lavoro tra realizzazione della parte divisore, e ruota dentata, di non più di 10/15 ore di lavoro. Altroché un mese per poi avere un pezzo di plastica stampata pronto a rompersi dopo poco tempo.

[@richardgreeniing1132]

Hi, try into a dividing head or rotary table , maybe a language thing sorry! cheers

[@probative]

Wow are you the batman of machining

[@utahprepper8925]

Genius! Grazie!

[@SobeSpeed]

I really like your idea for the dividing plate and locking mechanism. Thank you for the insight!

[@ecolife-casacurtesigradina2391]

super !!!! ami place ! ( a like )

[@ganichaudhari2157]

Very good and useful

[@1AMERICANWORKER]

My next project...... BRILLIANT!!!!

[@jsathorne]

Very clever, nice work

[@LikeToMakeTools]

Very nice! You gave me ideas?

[@carneeki]

Brilliant!

[@KoHokCheung]

Thank you for sharing. I need to do something similar on my lathe. Grazie Mille, Chris

[@ugafan1779]

Very nice and simple execution. Great job.

[@ChicagoRacerJoe]

Very impressive! Congratulations.

[@garthn2561]

There's quite a bit of play (eg around 4:10 mark) - where is that coming from?

[@garthn2561]

Is the expander perhaps not tightened in the video? I know how solid they are when tightened, I made a spindle crank for my lathe

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

Arduous Andotherous expander was close properly, had not tightened the bolt at the base of the lever! the small movement is due to the game that remains on the lathe bed ... but I can assure you that when the whole system is properly secured, clearance will be reduced to an inaudible level. thank you for comment my video!

[@garthn2561]

Ah - good. Thanks.

[@toddanonymous5295]

Brilliant ! Claudio

[@CLAUDIOGRASSIASTRArc]

make a video of your work! I'm curious to see the result!

[@shawnschrader5947]

Excellent job!
