Stop the Whip with a Lathe Spider. For Axminster/ Sieg C0 Lathe or any other Model.

Axminster CO lathe: bit.ly/3ynTjyb

[@Daledavispratt]

Sieg makes excellent small machines. I was lucky enough to obtain their SX3 mill when Grizzly sold them here in the US, and it was the best purchase I ever made.

[@worthmor]

Great idea to 3D print one. I'm gonna try to design one for me. Just learning FreeCad and would make a great project.

[@clytle374]

ouch, Dang you're brave. I've seen a larger lathe go "weed wacker mode" and don't play like that.

[@spudnickuk]

I like that idea as i can think of many more uses, like lapping or filing without getting the paste and filings all over the Ways

[@myfordboy]

Another great idea.

[@jamesmoody562]

❤Another benefit is using the chuck this end for polishing. No dust on the slides. I would make an extra tray to catch debris.

[@myfordboy]

And it can also be used to turn the spindle by hand for tapping.

[@jamesmoody562]

@@myfordboy A multitude of uses then, how about an indexing disk. One of my work colleagues had a 3/4" steel bar whip him across the side of his head. Ended up severely brain damaged. Took him 10 years to be able to just about walk.

[@myfordboy]

@@jamesmoody562 Terrible injury. So my anti whip tool has several other uses. Depth stop, dividing head, hand wheel and polishing and lapping .

[@stevewilliams2498]

I like your project. It could also function as a chuck depth stop. Think I have a small chuck somewhere. 🎉🎉

[@myfordboy]

That's a good idea, something I had not thought of.

[@niallsommerville9813]

That really was suffering for your art 🤕 Hope it heals well.

[@worthmor]

Ouch, took one for the team!

[@Smallathe]

Awesome :)

[@arkansas1336]

Just shows that injuries can happen with small tools/machines same as big tools. Hope you're doing okay. I've been thinking about buying a Sieg lathe, Would you recommend that brand or some other brand? Thanks for the video!

[@myfordboy]

I have this C0 lathe and a Myford ML10. I can't commet on other Sieg models but for small work the Sieg is better than the Myford due to it's higher speed.

[@enginord]

Ouch! Hope it heals fast.

[@bobweiram6321]

Is there a QC tool post for the C0 micro-lathe? I've never seen one and the stock tool post is terrible.

[@myfordboy]

A QC would take up too much room. I don't have any problems using the toolholder that takes 2 tools. I keep a turning tool and parting tool in it and have another with other tools. A single screw will swapp them over.

[@backwardsmachining7526]

Yea ive done that with 3/8 MIC and its not fun. Scares the hell out of for one lol

[@peterwalker7869]

Why secure the spindle with loctite? Why not turn the hole about .003" under size and press the spindle in?

[@jackfromthe60s]

Because Loctite is easier?

[@myfordboy]

I prefer Loctite.

[@awldune]

Cool! But why "spider"?

[@tomt9543]

Many of these devices use a pipe-like barrel with three or four. Screws that tighten up against the stock. Viewed from the end, they resemble a spider. Hence the name! This one is the most elaborate version I’ve ever seen! But nice!

[@rickoshea8138]

You helped us see the point, by taking the point. Ouch.

[@user-du7rn4cv6v]

Видимо не угомонится пока ему кумпол не раскроит, или глаза не по вышибает. Чудо, трубу просто металлическую поставь длинную, чтобы прут внутри неё вращался.

[@otto-Z]

No sacrfice too great for your art.

[@markamy357]

Very convincing demonstration of lathe whip, but you don’t have maim yourself for us.

[@nobbysworkshop]

That was a nasty cut there. I didn't see any adult language in the subtitles. Do be careful of that spinning chuck on the back of the headstock. It could give an even worse bit! Cheers Nobby
