Tip from a toolmaker: To check if your tailstock is dead center, turn a piece of stock between centers, if one side is bigger than the other, the allignment is off. Fiddle arround with the tailstock until the runout is at an acceptable level.

As a CNC "machinist" you did a really good job. Amazing craftsmanship, you should look into ER collets, surface plates and a belt sander. Cheers from Canada!

I have this machine and I fix small things my grand kids brake. If I need some really precise work done I'll buy a better tool. I believe that buying the right tool in the first place is the better decision. It saves in the long run more money, and more important, time. I have worked with tools like Schaublin 80 years old, some 60 years old English made, some 40 years old Austrian. No one needed any fixing. Once set, only. TLC. Making a Perspex or Al rod of 50mm X 140 um was an easy job. Including silicon rubber machining at room temperature. At any rate, excellent job done in the clip.

Nice job. my 1974 bantam comes with factory adjuster screws. For occasional checking, I put an off-cut of silver-steel round in the chuck, slacken the tailstock clamps and adjustments screws and fit the other end of the bar in the tailstock chuck. The two chucks are then parallel, and the adjuster can be moved then tightened in place. I'm a hobby-engineer, so 1/2 a thou is quite good enough for me.

well it's a lathe kzbin.infoUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.

Your videos are VERY well produced and scripted - You should have more subs and views!! These little lathes are fantastic, great value and super for learning to machine on - Better still, as the user's skill improves, then the value engineering of the sub-assemblies of the machine become obvious, but these now become a real life practical machining task for the user, so that the machine can adapt to the user's increased skills!! I absolutely love mine, although I burnt out the DC motor(my fault for overloading the machine and for way too long) on mine - They are great for knocking out small stuff for repair jobs, etc! Keep up the great work.

@@WeCanDoThatBetter I had a friend make me a much wider base for mine out of Stainless Steel. I had him leave off the taper that came with the centering block on the original so I should be able to duplicate part of your set up. I like that reverse counter bore idea also. I drilled 4 holes, two on each side and installed Brass screws to clamp the upper part to the base. It gives just a wee bit of wiggle room for aligning it to the actual center line and clamps it tight. Being a full inch wider at the base makes a huge difference in stability. I sure wish I had more time to devote to the little bugger but I am finding life switches to Warp Speed after 60. Lol! I am looking forward to your next installments.

@@bustednuckles2 thanks :) The wider base is surely a big improvement. The original tailstock stands not very solid on the bed. I considered about a new and wider baseplate too, but that's a bit too much of a project for now. I than went for some extra weight on the tailstock in form of the steel application and the new clamping plates from the underside will hopefully add some extra weight pulling the tailstock down on the machine bed.

My mini lathe tailstock has a lever operated lock from the rear and not a big nut at the front, and like many folk I have added my own version of the micro adjuster as sold by Little Machine Shop and others, but mounted at the back. But your modification to lock the top to the base is a great idea rather than access from underneath. If it didn't mean stripping my tailstock and loosing ALL my tailstock settings, I would do a mod the same as yours. The other thing about the tailstock is that height alignment, and parallelism in both planes, can only be achieved by shims. I am sure you could think about a better system than shims. How about that for your next trick?
@WeCanDoThatBetter
@WeCanDoThatBetter 3 жыл бұрын
Hey, thanks! If your tailstock is now fine, don't touch it :) The screw modification isn't a big thing and can be done at any time later. The height and parallelism issues aren't that easy to fix. I already thougt about it, but that's a project for later on. I think, when you won't shim it you could either use some metal coating such as moglice which can be mould between the surfaces or scrape the tailstocks sliding surfaces firmly in and then bore the hole for the quill out on the machine itself. With this, you have the quill exactly in line with the lathe spindel, but off course you need a new quill fitting the now slightly larger hole as well :) I' thinking about eventually doing that some day, but thats a major project not for now...

How do you manage to prevent the milling cutter ‘walking’ it’s way out of the 3 jaw chuck ?
@WeCanDoThatBetter
@WeCanDoThatBetter 3 жыл бұрын
I did nothing specific here. Just clamped the cutter tightly with all 3 screws on the 3 jaw chuck. That's not ideal but in this case it worked fine. Last time, I clamped the cutter in the independent 4 jaw chuck and it was pulled out. Here I was lucky the chuck held the cutter tight enough.

@@WeCanDoThatBetter the ER series collet chucks ( new innovations since I bought the other chuck ) seem to hold very firmly & can be obtained at reasonable price from the Far East. Have you noticed how every time you type ‘chuck’ the software capitalises it into Chuck ‘believing’ Chuck to be a person not a tool!

It helps to use a center drill first.

You mean in the beginning? This was just for illustration purpuses. To show that the tailstock is extremely out of alignment. Normally you use a center drill and the tailstock should be centered better.

Cold bluing? 👍
@WeCanDoThatBetter
@WeCanDoThatBetter 3 жыл бұрын
Hey, cold bluing uses an acid which turns steel surfaces black in a chemical reaction. The surface has than to be oiled and is now more rust resistant and looks cool black (perhaps sometimes a bit bluish, that's where the name comes from) :) You can also hot blue steel parts by heating them and quenching them in oil afterwards. They will turn black as well.

what about the height, horizontal and vertical adjustment, I'm very curious about this
@WeCanDoThatBetter
@WeCanDoThatBetter 2 жыл бұрын
Hi adjusting the tailstock heightwise isn't that easy. You have to either shim it if it is too low or remove some material if it is to high. Perhaps some day I will scrape the tailstock base in and check for exact height alignment.
