Ok let's review the facts: 1. It no-kidding works. 2. He made it himself with fairly modest tools, no computers or DRO or CNC anything 3. No mis-drilled holes or anything else 4. It's as good or more likely better than $500 worth of Chinese import 7x12, in size and performance 5. The video itself is to a high standard; well lit, well focused, very well edited. All in all, credit to this man for making it happen.

[@СмыслМеждуСтрок]

*I do not argue what he did well. But the fact is that he bought a ready-made designer who needed a foundation. Have you seen how some people assemble a lathe completely from scratch and make it yourself until the last bolt? That's exactly what I call a real master. So I abstain, not like not dislike.*

[@Vodichka9]

@@СмыслМеждуСтрок If you mean ready-made design-the linear ways, for example, he is exactly correct to buy these "off-the-shelf", as there is no way to fabricate these with the very primitive tools he has at hand. Making every piece by hand is impossible How would you build ways by hand without a lot of sophisticated tools, HUGE heat-treat furnace, long surface grinder like Okamoto etc, etc,? Making bolts from scratch is the work of a fool. I don't think you understand what this guy accomplished. Pedantichnyy...

@@СмыслМеждуСтрок why can't you give him credit where credit is due! I will be damn if I would make some of the stuff he used when I can buy it ready made ....

[@teropiispala2576]

@@Vodichka9 actually those can be built by hand with relatively simple tools. It needs lots of work and very flat reference surface like lapped granite. The technique is called scraping and it produce very straight surface. The idea is to use indicator color and scrape off high spots untill the surface is totally flat. I don't mean i suggest that method for home made tools, but that's how prescision tools were made in old days and some still use it when restoring old tools. Using linear bearings is interesting idea and for sure the lathe is very smooth to use. I'm not sure how long they last because sometimes vibrations can be nasty. I wouldn't at least make too deep holes. What comes to precision, there is always some machinist who is not satisfied for hobbyist's tools. In many case it is enough to have a rotating piece tightly in a chuck and moving mechanism to hold the toolbit. It is much better than any other tool to make so many things.

[@RicoLen1]

Kid, you have got IT. My dad was a machinist for 45 years, and put me and my 4 siblings through private school. Granted he worked 16 hour days for a few years, but he did it. I grew up in the 80s watching him work on a lathe at home that couldn't have been a whole lot better what you just made. Build yourself a milling machine and a clientele and you'll never go broke. You might never sleep, but you'll never go broke. I wish I could do what you did here. I definitely missed my calling. I could have inherited my dad's shop had I the interest back when he retired and sold his shop. As it turns out I have the creative mind for this kind of stuff, but lack the education. Stupidest thing I ever did was cheat my way through math class in school. In awe of you man, you're on the right track.

[@burtybasset4486]

Don't let lack of education hold you back. I think if you have the will to do something you can make it happen! Plus we are in the age of the internet so pretty much any information you need is right out there. I think any skill takes lots of practice, so start practising, but be cautious. I taught myself to weld recently after watching KZbin videos. I also fixed my car after my cam belt snapped and bent all my valves again mostly from KZbin videos. I had to buy new ones and grind them in, and you have to get the torque settings for the head bolts right, but you can find most of this information in Haynes manuals.

[@thetedmang]

Mathematician here. I often wish I stopped studying math at a certain point and got into engineering when I was younger. The math problems that give engineers trouble can usually just be "engineered" around instead of directly solved. Math is beautiful but making things with your hands is so much more rewarding.

[@burtybasset4486]

@@thetedmang There is nothing stopping you from buying the tools and tinkering for yourself. The little iGBT welders are pretty cheap these days and the one I got works great and no one ever taught me to weld, I just figured it out for myself. Just be safe. Skill and mastery come with practice.

[@charlesgargotta23]

Really beautiful work and it goes to show what you can accomplish once you commit to doing it. Having been a machinist I notice a few small things that ideally would be more tightly fitted or precision ground for better accuracy but this is a great piece of equipment that will last years and can make any needed upgrades or replacement parts. My only criticism is that the belt and pulleys need to be covered before use and with that amount of slack a tensioner will reduce noise and slipping. Solid 9.5 out of 10. And for anyone who is upset about the half point it's for safety. No machine will tear you apart faster than a lathe. Having to watch the work is enough you don't need the pulley system as a threat too.

[@ferrumignis]

_"No machine will tear you apart faster than a lathe"_ I'd much rather be using my old 1940 lathe with exposed pulleys than a table saw, or one of those hideous PTO powered screw log splitters.

[@charlesgargotta23]

@@ferrumignis those machines will maim you for certain. But if a lathe grabs you you're losing whatever limb got grabbed, arm, head etc. I try to be very accurate in my words. If a lathe grabs you it will tear you apart. Not cut, not shear. Rip. You lose a finger to a table saw, or a splitter a good doc might be able to fix it. Lathe yanks your arm and rips something off or takes your whole body for a ride they ain't fixing that.

Dear Sir, just like everyone else I am in awe at your skills. Drilling accurate compound holes, beautiful stick welding and producing a low backlash device that looks like it can produce accurate and smooth results. Have you thought of making a tail stock? That would complete the build. You may need to add locking to your cross-feed and longitudinal feed so that when you are cutting cross-feed, your long track doesn’t move by itself. Well done. One day you could throw away the belts and have a fixed motor with VFD and have infinite control over speed. You’d be able to get higher speeds as well. Cheers.

I was looking for a D.I.Y. lathe build to turn and produce banjo pots. This was fascinating, enjoyable and revealed your design capabilities, familiarization with parts, machining, etc. What my experience of making things has been is that if you have to buy tools to produce something it exceeds the price of simply buying it. So ... It then becomes a matter of self challenge, creativity, possibly doing it better and the satisfaction of knowing you made it, even if it runs over what a purchase would have cost. It would be interesting if you kept a running tab and totaled the cost and compared it to a similar one available. I swear there is a economic Desmond out there making sure the act of making something is cost prohibitive vs buying. Loved the video.

[@taxicamel]

Well, you comment indicates you know nothing about machine tools .....but that's OK. What IS very clear about this video is the guy actually knows very little about lathes .....but he does know something about welding .....and that's about all. The one weld along the top of the "headstock" was very good. ANY kind of metal "chip-making" machine cannot be made from "steel". This was found out by one major machine tool builder 50 years ago. White Sundstrand built a series of machining centers based on fabricating. the machine frame was very thick plate. The end result was a machine rampant with vibration. CAST IRON HAS INHERENT DAMPENING PROPERTIES. The "E: value of steel is much "better" than cast iron ...but when it comes to machining, cast iron is simply the only "best" way to make ANY machine tool. How do you turn to a specific "known" diameter? How do you generate a thread? How do you machine a taper? A lot of work .....and you can't actually do much on it. .

Although i'd say that even that mini lathe is more accurate than his homemade one. Lots and lots of unmachined surfaces and everything is measured with rather basic tools or by eye. Also this doesn't look very rigid. So next step would be using the lathe to build a mill, then building a new lathe and a new mill with those tools.

What a great project! I'm fortunate to have a couple "proper" lathes but I would rather have yours than none any day. Nothing like the feeling of completing such a huge project, is there? You should be very proud of yourself. I'm impressed and subscribing. I'm sure you already realize you'll need a DRO since you don't have graduated dials. And if you discover that chatter is a bigger issue than you had anticipated you can add mass and vibration damping by filling those base channels and tubing with lead. Just melt some and pour it in. I would also consider some more bracing inside the headstock box, again only if you experience excessive chatter as I suspect you will with a welded thin wall steel frame rather than a heavy iron casting. Just ideas for future improvements. First make lots of chips to get to know your machine well before changing anything else. I look forward to seeing more!!

[@peterdurica8022]

You could also fill those empty base channels with cement. It might even be a better solution than lead.

[@intjonmiller]

@@peterdurica8022 Lead is FIVE TIMES heavier by volume and malleable. Concrete is hard to the point of being brittle. Cast iron is used for machine castings largely because it is less prone to ringing than other cast metals. Vibration damping is more valuable than "absolute" rigidity (really there's no such thing) because the more rigid something is the more likely it is to crack under stress. Concrete is better than nothing, but lead would surely outperform concrete for this purpose.

I am hugely impressed with the entirety of the video content! I have a small workshop and I have been looking to buy a small lathe for simple work. I am mildly contemplating trying this project, but I remember how many times I thought as I watched the video: maaan, if I were to mark and drill these holes, I don't think I stand a snowball's chance in hell in making them as precise as the author of the video! I have been making simple constructions and the issues with drilling a multiple holes in a precise position is painfully familiar. Much respect for the final product! I want one :)

[@auraswolf]

draw it up in a CAD software and just print out 1:1 size parts (the rails just make a segment 1:1 that u can locate ez) and stick it to ur metal should make it easier to make less mistakes.

[@paulmanhart4481]

Excellent job. You must know what you’re doing. Questions: 1. Do you have any micrometer readouts on your adjustments? I didn’t see any. 2. What is the runout? 3. How much did the parts all cost? 4. Do you sell the plans? Thanks for sharing. Paul

[@giuseppebonatici7169]

nah. he made a good approximation of a what a lathe look like and an approximation of it functionality. its more of a stiff and overpowered woodworking lathe. the ball screws remove any capability for precision (they are meant for machines, not human operation, too low rotational resistance), the bearing have tons of play and if affect the surface finish. the bearing will not last as they are wrong (no thrust bearing, only two sloppy bearings that are loaded mainly in the wrong direction)

[@paulmanhart4481]

Oh come on. It’s a bloody lathe. Maybe not up to your standards but he did a good job with what he had.

[@giuseppebonatici7169]

@@paulmanhart4481 I may have sound meaner than intended xD. I would say that is an amazing lathe for wood. He made a superb welding and the stiffness of the machine was right (but limited by the bearings). outside of that, I am being reasonable xD. the design will lead to be change the bearing regularly. it's the same problem with the $2k mini lathes. I am not asking for a diamond lathe (those with cheap and hyper precise air bearing). I just say that you should use this one with steel nor copper (especially copper). and this does not allow for precise machining, (it is better at CNC, ironically), that why I called it a stiff woodworking lathe. because it is what it can do without wrecking the bearings at 10 to 40 hour of use (those bearings must cost like a hundred each).

Now he can use the lathe to build a drill press and make screws, bolts, nuts, and ball-bearings. and the drill press and lathe to build a planer. And the planer, drill press, and planer to build... ...a lathe...

[@AJMansfield1]

Love the video. Not sure if it'd be possible to build a lathe any simpler without making deep compromises on what kinds of parts it's capable of producing, this is very much a 'minimum viable' lathe for making precision metal parts.

[@mrcpu9999]

I've watched this a couple times, and it's quite fascinating, but I'm not sure how you reliably get the spindle nose/bore lined up with the rails with precision. On short pieces may not be noticeable, but it seems like on longer ones you'd be cutting a taper. But it was very ingenious, and I'm sure will prove quite useful.

[@wardwyseur]

simple, loosen the bolts on the bearing holders, tap it in place, tighten the bolts. it will not be easy but not impossible

Whoever has to have specific tolerances, nice surface finish, and repeatability. Not talking down on this lathe, because it is insane, but it is not rigid, chatters like mad, no end stock to support the raw stock, and so on. you need substance to keep the resonance to a minimum

Would be worried about taper, takes a lot of tuning to get the ways aligned with the spindle. Never seen linear bearings or a ball screw used on a lathe, I'm surprised by how rigid they appear. Great video, great job!
