  • I got a new (to me) lathe, and we're finally cutting some metal!
    The lathe is a Standard Modern 9 Inch Unilathe. I had to completely take it apart to get it into my basement. The CNC is a Cortini L300 Mill, made in Italy. Looks like was made in 1986 and is super heavy duty/sturdy.

    That chuck has a LOT of runout, I recommend checking a round pin held in the jaws and the outside of the chuck body. If they both have similar runout, then see if there are bolts holding the chuck to the backplate, loosen to see if the chuck is able to move around. If the chuck is moveable, re-center the chuck as best as you can. You may find that the chuck and/or jaws are just worn out and you need to buy a decent new chuck.

    Man, I love your stuff. I am going to buy a Cortini as well. The manual version comes with no black spacer in the column, the spacer you have it is actually an oroginal cortini mod for the cnc mill. I am going to make it cnc and I would like to know how tall is that spacer. Please can you measure it for me? Cheers from Italy. You crazy clever guy

    For a small CNC mill like that, look a the Centroid Acorn controller, I really like the Centroid controls and they are easy to use IMO.

    • @SeanHodgins
      @SeanHodgins  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for the suggestion. Those look pretty cool. I was hoping to choose one that uses GRBL. Or just make my own board. There are so many options out there.

    • @eformance
      @eformance 4 года назад

      @@SeanHodgins Trust me, the Centroid control is light years ahead of GRBL. The Intercon conversational software is great for simple machining operations, it also comes with a lot of the unlock codes that cost $$$ 15 years ago. If my Fadal was step and direction, I'd put one of these on it in a heartbeat. Retrofitting with an Acorn and a set of Clearpath servos would be an ideal upgrade path for this machine.

    It would be best not to use gloves during operation of the lathe and mill- they can get caught and munch your hand. Safest to use your hands. Great vid.

  • @foobarables

    I think the cutting fluid you are employing is something silicon based. In that case, get some real cutting fluid because silicon based lubricants will destroy your machines.

    • @SeanHodgins
      @SeanHodgins  3 года назад

      It’s just WD-40, but I do need a proper setup.

    • @foobarables
      @foobarables 3 года назад

      @@SeanHodgins WD40 is more like a solvent and will dissolve the lubricant in the bearings of your machine. The result will be a very thin layer of lubricant with severely reduced load carrying capabilities. After this has happened, it becomes impossible to remove the silicone and lubrication with the correct oil will not work any more.

    If you intend to utilize scripts, probing and automating a lot of tasks, i'd encourage you to research linuxcnc (you likely already have) It isn't for the faint of heart, but i think a dev such as yourself would adapt easily. I'd also slap a mister on the mill, the 20 bucks and it would make your life a lot better now, and since you aren't really setup for coolant, minimal mess. Looking forward to your uploads!

    • @SeanHodgins

      I was worried about misting as I’ve heard people get sore throats and weird breathing stuff(my breathing is bad enough already) and it’s in the basement of my house... Thinking of getting a fog buster for the mill. Maybe one for the lathe? Not sure how automated the mill will be, likely a lot of one off parts more than anything but linuxCNC is a total possibility!

      @@SeanHodgins I think that's a valid concern if you're logging long hours day in day out on the machine, but at 10 hours or less a week with safe coolant, i've become fond of Kool Mist #77 If you have servos on that machine, i would opt for real time over gbrl. I also think the fog buster is a better option overall though.
