Milling on the Lathe

Recently I purchaced from ebay a dremel holder that can be attached to the toolpost of a lathe. The problem was that the shank was too thick for my lathe, and as a result the center of the lathe's chuck, wasn't at the same height as the dremel's chuck was. One way, was to sand it down to the desired thickness, but then I remembered that I had an 8mm end mill cutter that could do the job on my lathe. I did it twice because I had to flip it over to take the other half of the shank as you will see on the video.

[@haugstule]

that way of checking that the piece was true to the chuck with a dial indicator was genius! Good content.

[@TheStuartYork]

A very elegant solution. Thank you Stuart

[@pieterbotes8938]

I don't know about anything else, but you got a top quality dial indicator - Carl Mahr

[@Stephen1455]

I see you have quality stuff I love Mahr measuring instruments!

[@Banshee350speed]

great video, nice job

[@dylanjastle]

You should put links in the descriptions of your videos when you mention the 'next video' so we can follow your projects better. Thanks! And very cool channel.

[@ARIFINLATHE]

Very useful idea for me manual lathe operator like me Thank you my new friend

[@eloyworkshop541]

Un proyecto muy interesante!! Saludos

[@yeucokhi4785]

Good job

[@petertyrrell6690]

Nice video. Another tool post holder could also have been made using your chuck to drill a hole the same size required for the dremel. Then no shims would be required. Thank for sharing.

[@tylerdavis9820]

This is why the lathe is my favorite machine, because it's all in one.

[@pauls5745]

yep. a lathe is actually capable of reproducing itself. these are just the ideas I need for milling since all i really need is my dremel and lathe. now i know a quick way to mount the dremel

[@OtisMamed]

I noted you ran a particular direction with the end mill. Why, and at what RPM? Great info/video. Thank you!

[@WalterCoulede]

It a pleasure to see your ideas running through your videos. This one has a chance to be useful to me. I own the same lathe. If you have a solution to add a vertical axle to allow milling on your lathe, please tell us how to do.

[@aserta]

+WalterCoulede You can remove the cross-slide, add a 90 degree plate, mount the cross slide on the 90 degree plate and voila. Up and down axis. Of course it's far more limited than an actual mill but if you think your cuts, it works. Of course, you will need to build a few parts. Screws, plates for the underside, spacers, and some shims.

[@muhammadnavedshaikh4441]

Very good

How do you make your "simple dividing system" ? Great video too

[@vlogealtraroba....2216]

Cool video

[@delasantos]

Great channel. Subscribed. Mind if I ask what model of lathe is this?

[@ManualdoMotorStirling]

Very good friend, what is the brand of your lathe? Which country it was manufactured? Leandro Wagner.

[@johnnyq90]

Hi Leandro, it's the optimum tu 2004 v. It's from Germany, or at least this is what it's written on it...

[@ManualdoMotorStirling]

+johnnyq90 Our friend, a lathe German is good to fantastic. I have a Chinese, but do not have great accuracy as yours. I'm just not having time to use it, because with constant threats of flooding inside my house, I was forced to take the lathe in my father's house. And it makes 12 days that I was Dad, now I have no more time to almost nothing. Leandro Wagner.

[@johnnyq90]

+Manual do Motor Stirling - Leandro Wagner It's a pity about the lathe, having it nad not be able to use it, but nontheless congratulations on the new member of your family!

@@ManualdoMotorStirling you seriously add your name at the end of your comments? not needed sir.

[@BaileyEvans]

Makes me want a lathe more and more.....

[@woozhi9218]

Ever heard of milling machine

[@adamelsasser5009]

Lathes > mills

крутой канал только делайте побольше видео о самодельных турбинах

[@perjalananmasihjauh]

Hi Johnny, I do not know if you could read this. Amazing channel you have here and I watch your videos once a while. this video particularly had my interest as I was wondering if you could use a lathe specified for wood be used for metal.

[@dbeierl]

It would be difficult because lathes intended for wood do not have a movable carriage with cross slide and compound slide to mechanically place the tool in position for the cut. However, watch/clock makers do use very small lathes employing metal gravers in similar fashion to wood turning in miniature.

[@kennethnevel3263]

If you would have drilled the holder on the lathe it would have to be right on center .

[@EnglishTurbines]

You would be far better getting a quick change Toolpost Adaptor. This enables different tools to be kept in their individual holders and the holders have precision height adjusters on them. No needs for bits of shims etc to get your tool heights correct.

[@wm210v]

Просто гениально. Лайк.

[@saxon215]

I'd like to know more about turbines and the sort, I understand the basic operating principals but I want to learn how to analyse the design and tailor it for a particular use I was wondering if you knew of an available resource which is relatively simple to understand?

[@peterforden5917]

+Spark Gap look up turning and milling books on ebay there were some standard works used by apprentices back before ww1 and they were still in use in the 70's as they were so good I read about 10 years ago that some are still in print........

[@Zakamooza]

this is fucking genius! why didnt i think of this

[@andrewcollins6525]

I'm interested in how you divided it. Have you a video on that please?

[@BigDaddy-yp4mi]

Search "gear cutters" or "dividing mill plate" You will be pleasantly suprised

[@enfav3407]

Make the holder Fix the holder on the turret Put a drill bit on the chuck Mahe a hole on the holder Put a reamer on the chuck Pass the previous hole Done

[@Web-manufacture]

Thank for this video! A one thing to be added - it's CNC ))))

[@johnnyq90]

+Web-Manufacture.net That would be awesome but it's too early. I'm still learning ;)

[@alexander.semchenkov]

+johnnyq90 look for arduino CNC solutions - it's pretty simple mainstream now!

[@BigHayes7771]

Put a longer Handel on the dial to speed it up

[@250-25x]

Cool video! Look into making yourself a small collet set (like er32) to hold the end mills. I have seen an end mill jump out of a 3 jaw chuck and flt across the shop!!....Also, instead of cutting along the work horizontally like you did, try "drilling out" the waste material with the end of the milling tool, then go back and do a high speed/slow travel finish cut. MUCH easier wear and tare on the Lathe. Subd! HAve fun, G.

[@johnnyq90]

+gerry mckown Thank you sir!

[@joshwillis1726]

Please don't plunge cut with an end mill. Use a drill bit first. Plunge cutting with an end mill should only be done if you have no alternative.

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

as long as that holder is dedicated to that lathe other wise i would have shimmed the base of holder ...washers thst have been lapped

[@ronnieg6358]

It doesn't have to be a Dremel. A holder could be made to use any drill.

[@thepecha7]

What lathe do you use man? You have some awesome projects, if i get a reply i'll sub ;)

[@KalleKofot]

You need a cnc lathe with c axis.

[@texasgonzo67]

don't we all.... I'll give you my address when you start shipping them out for free...

[@factotumalmost4234]

io ho fatto lo stesso attacco sostituendo la torretta con un blocco di legno duro e poi forandolo mettendo la punta nel mandrino. il foro è venuto perfettamente in asse.

[@user-cp8gh8ey7k]

جالبه.

[@Oli4vn]

how did you move the end mill up and down?

[@telefon72]

+Oli4vn He didn't.

[@Oli4vn]

Woops sorry I see now, thanks

[@telefon72]

Oli4vn Np man.

[@elijahh6457]

What brand is the lathe?

[@johnnyq90]

Optimum Tu2004V

[@elijahh6457]

johnnyq90 thank you

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

protect the chuck if you have no collet....then machine a bushing...and add a set screw to hold end mill

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

correct will cut better also and feed in not out..will pull it
