DIY Metal Lathe Machine Without Using a Lathe Machine

[@thestrongnsilenttype]

You just built a machining lathe (that at least gets the job done) from 90% scrap! That is incredible! Bravo!

[@joepie221]

Excellent project. I applaud your effort and the end result. If you find you have rigidity issues, you may wish to consider a larger diameter main spindle shaft and possibly tapered bearings to eliminate end play. Also, maybe I missed it, take the chuck off that backing plate and face the plate so you know its true to the shaft, then re-assemble the chuck to it.. Welding has a way of making things move a bit. Thumbs up from me.

[@baremetaltechtv]

just here to upvote facing the backplate, no reason why you shouldn't eliminate as much cause of error as you can, this will help you hold a better tolerance and make your parts run a bit more true. Facing the back plate and getting some tapered roller bearings the chuck would go a long way, this DIY late should make some great parts after some upgrades.

Nice to see a young man using practical skills i learnt in my first ever job and have never forgotten. despite it ending 20 years ago after 13 years in the trade.

[@Culturedropout]

Nice work. I was a little concerned about the precision of the measurements lining up the guide rods and such, but looks like it came out okay. One thing - get in the habit of *never* leaving the chuck key in the chuck unless your hand is on it, or one day, you *will* eat it when you forget and turn on the motor.

[@johnfritzel9833]

It's even worse when you turn on the motor with your hand on it and in the chuck.

Remarkable... May not be the absolute best small lathe a person can have in their workshop BUT it does what it has to and makes so many more projects withing reach without having to go to expensive machine shops to get a part made... AND they are not open at nights or on the weekend 😇

I am enjoying this!! Says someone with 6 lathes and 2 mills. BUT my first lathe was a school project which led to a Degree in 3 D Design. A life teaching 3 D Design... And now making model Steam Locomotives. Yes I still use the home made Lathe with slipping belt clutch. Lots of love David and Lily.

[@piro2k]

Excellent, I'm coming over for some lessons.

[@christurnblom4825]

But why did you not have the heart to tell him what he did wrong? Did you maybe figure that he learned what he did wrong in the process? It's great that he accomplished this but I don't know for sure that he does know the important differences between this and one that wouldn't require hammering a bearing on as we saw. Looks like that bearing didn't turn so well either after he did that. What would you say ...+/- .002" repeatability & accuracy? I haven't made my own but I have rebuilt a little Smithy (Midas) 1220-xl except for the gearbox. Fortunately, the gearbox was sealed and hadn't been contaminated with sand rust like everything else. I'm just glad I went to school, watched 1000+ hours of videos and read up extensively, on the subjects I needed to know to make the thing chooch. The one thing I didn't realize though, was that the main reason my teachers were telling me not to get a mill/lathe combo was because they are horribly inefficient when you need to go from milling to turning or vice versa. The two just interfere with each other to much so If I gotta turn anything larger than 2.5" dia. the vice either has to come off or I have to position the vice far to one side so I have to take the work out of the vice & turn it around to mill the other side, just as one example. Maybe he could make some modification to get some preloading. ...?

Very clever use of already fabricated parts! The ways and carriage are super hard to make, but your method simplifies the whole process, and could certainly be scaled up!

[@Reman1975]

For a light duty* DIY home workshop lathe, using linear rails is a reasonably workable idea. The 20mm ones he's got are pretty strong, and have a useful amount of mass to them to help prevent tool chatter. Where they fall down though is there's hardly any designs of bearing blocks that have a way to adjust for wear on them. Once there's play in them you can't just tighten up gib screws or resurface the ways. I suppose if you're careful about the bolt hole positioning when building it you could turn the rails around and use the less worn ends to get a bit more life out of them, But you'll probabbly still need to buy new bearing blocks. (*By "Light duty" I mean one that's not used 24/7. If well thought out and constructed I'd think a DIY lathe made using linear rails would probably handle more strain and stay accurate longer than one with traditional dove tail ways, It's just that when it DOES show signs of wear there's not a lot you can do to sort it out other than replacing some pretty expensive hardware.)

[@needdamemes2757]

honestly for an inexpensive DIY lathe this is really good, I had never considered using optical rails or bearing blocks

[@Hellsong89]

@@needdamemes2757 There is also issue of chips and metal dust getting into bearing blocks, ruining them real fast if not protected. There should some accessory parts to those blocks witch try prevent this from happening, but its not perfect solution and as mentioned just little wear and those are next to useless, ending up just wrecking havoc to inserts and surface finish. Its same effect that happened with my DIY mill, from cheap drillpress, cheap cross feed table and rather expensive tooling that got ruined every time it bumped. Tried it in "vertical lathe" setup but similar thing happened. Then again his pillow bearing blocks wont be that accurate anyways, so this is well suited for occasional bushing adapter or such work, but any proper machining tolerances you can forget, though this is lots sturdier than cheap chinese lathes on the market, so with little design chances like cup bearing in the axle to center it properly, replacing threaded rod with machine screw with suitable slack removal like two nuts with strong spring between and building some protection for the ways, sure this will be much cheaper and does what it was designed to do.

Good luck and I like this build.

[@manudehanoi]

1) the chuck shaft should be 1st aligned with the lathe ways by putting a long straight shaft in the 3 bearings and check the alignment with a micrometer held on the carriage (using a magnet holder for ex) and moved along the ways. Alignemnt of the chuchk shaft can be modified using the adjusment screws on the 3 bearings. 2) the chuck backplate should be then turned on the lathe so that the ridge that goes in the chuck is concentric with the chuck shaft, only then should the backplate be drilled.

[@johnsomerset1510]

Great job overall, but i have always understood that you never use 3 bearings on a relatively short stiff shaft because they 'fight against' each other and produce vibration and wear out! You should just use two bearings on the lathe spindle. The front one , supporting the chuck, should be the biggest and most robust, eg a roller bearing. The rear one can be a big deep groove ball bearing, to withstand end thrust. Likewise, the linear ball bearings on the saddle and cross-slide should only be in pairs and not threes when spaced close, because it will cause rocking.

[@LS-td3dz]

@Raul mechanics yes taper roller bearings will cope with radial load and thrust much better, intact that's exactly what they are designed for.

[@oasisofthehorizon6078]

That's really great Man; because you don't have to use other very expensive equipment to fabricate this metal lathe which is very reasonable and economical, that is the best bargain for the hobbyists. I have watched many interesting videos about making a metal lathe, but till now ( April 2024 ) this is far the very best. You do it the simplest way with all the necessary measurement and calibration. Congratulations and thanks a million for this uploading bro. I just liked and subscribed and would ask all those who have watched this video to like and subscribe. Thanks again, and I wish you all the best. Keep it up.

[@leeknivek]

use just two spindle bearings - having three will cause all three to wear out very quickly. two bearings will last longer & is more accurate

[@jokamwellington4806]

Hi. Just curious. What spindle bearing u talking about ? Is that pillow block you mean? Thanks

[@leeknivek]

@@jokamwellington4806 yes, pillow blocks there being used to support the shaft - the spindle - having more than two will almost always induce runout and cause unnecessary wear without really being any more stable or rigid. If you need stable and rigid, self centering pillow blocks aren't really the thing to use, tapered roller bearings in fitted castings tend to be the most rigid & precise.

[@antoniomurziani7909]

Molto bravo, hai creato uno strumento professionale in modo semplice ma efficace.

[@brianelstro7801]

Tooling angle is slightly high, and too close to 90° to the cutting surface for me. Add some relief by using a tooling block with a radius cut on one side. Should take care of both issues. How accurate is the bed, and do you plan a tail stock? Nice build, btw!

[@jvmiller1995]

I can't imagine it being to accurate being the cross slide was installed using a square. However with a dial indicator he may have enough play in the bolt holes to bring it in. Same thing for the the rails on the bed way he could adjust the spindle bearings to be parallel. I cant see this being as good as what you can get for $600 - $700 in a mini. It might have a bit more swing but would take a lot to get it dialed in. But I give him props for building it anyway. I might have to see if he has a video with it dialed in any better. You are very correct about the angle of the tool. I wish him the best of luck.

[@fededevi1985]

That's very nice considering what you had to work with. Chucks always have a precision shoulder on the back to align the mandrel with the chuck. You should face the backplate without the chuck and machine the male shoulder on it. The diameter have to be as precise as possible compared to the inner diameter in the back of the chuck so the alignment will be precise too. This should give a good alignment on the jaw of the chuck then you can get a nice reference round bar, put it on the chuck and align the carriages to the rotation axis by putting a micrometer on the carriage and moving it up and down and see/fix the error. But I understand that this was more of a proof of concept. Nice work.

[@marcosbritoibuacu134]

[@DrewLSsix]

Proper lathes dont use ball screws, they use Acme lead screws. Ball screws are a terrible idea on a lathe because they are easily moved from the non feed end. A proper lead screw wont allow the work and tool interaction to reverse the feed. Ball screws basically mandate servos because of this, imagine trying to face a part but every time the tool meets a high spot it pushes slide or carriage back....

Hello, do you have written plans for this project? Interested in knowing the length between the bolts on the plates

Please keep in mind that welding zink plated steel (nuts, bolts) makes very harmful fumes. Weld outside or direct fan at it to blow the fumes away. Great project!

This lathe is better than no lathe at all. I'll try mine, just at the right time.
