Amazing how much you can do with a small lathe. It just shows technique and knowledge is more important than having a big fancy expensive machine. I learned a lot from this video.
Even on a monster lathe most jobs are smaller. I have a 10x22” lathe for the garage at home and the big lathe is at work. If I get a bigger job on occasion, I just take it in to work and use the big lathe but my little lathe is my “go to” for most jobs.😀👍Keep making chips!🤣
And all without a mill! The lathe is the machine that can make itself,,,,with a little help from the drill press. ,,, but what impressed the most was your toolmaker grade workmanship and mostly the engineering. Second to none!
I know I am a little late to the party, but that dial is one of the most beautiful things I have seen someone make. I did a tiny little wheel for my compound. I had never thought to make one for the carriage. That was really wonderful. Now, I have to make one. I will inscribe WCDTB on the back in your honor. Thanks for that... a lot.
Thanks for your commen! I would prefer, the problems will come to an end some day :D But there is still a lot to do on this little lathe :) And yes, the crossslide handle and scale is the next project
I saw your comment about the paper plate before I got to that part in the video and was puzzled by what you meant. Now that I've seen it, I'm humbled too. Impressive!
Now this is one of the best and best looking mini lathe upgrades I have seen done. Great idea and execution Beautiful finished product. Even the cross slide clearance issue I would normally call a mistake I said Ok … Good another project.
great design, love it. I have added a thin backplate to the apron of my mini lathe to keep swarf out and to hold a bearing for the handwheel. I am using a handwheel on the lead screw and am planning to add a digital scale with the read head under the apron.
Great videos. Not for what you make but the way you do it. Amazing how you can set up a lathe for almost any different kind of machining. There are hundreds of tips in the way you set up every part. Excellent Excellent !!
:) Thanks a lot! The clamping is really cool yes. Much more convenient as clamping with a screw from the side. I saw this idea in a video of Stefan Gotteswinter here on youtube.
I used to have a small 200kg lathe, very quickly I outgrew it and made room for a 650kg lathe. Ultimately I am very happy I didn't spend too much time modifying my small lathe before moving on. But this is done very nicely, definitely took some time and patience. Especially the handwheel engraving, nicely done! Personally I would save the effort and upgrade to a large machine before doing such work, but I understand this is a hobby.
You do optimal work with less than optimal tools. The quality of your finished product is inspiring. Nice camera work too! Please keep the videos coming.
Thank you very much! I really do appreciate that. It may take a lot more time and needs some patience but even with little tooling you can achieve quite a bit :)
Really nice design work and execution on this project. I have never considered using a graduated dial on a carriage handwheel before, but it's an excellent idea.
@@mapsi03 Yes, I've seen many lathes before (have you?) The crossfeed and compound handles are normally graduated, but I've never seen a graduated dial on a carriage handwheel - you'll note that the original plastic wheel did NOT have graduations. This is typical on all lathes that I'm aware of.
Thank you very much! That's right, not every lathe has a dial on the carriage handwheel. But that's a useful modification. Without a digital readout you have no idea how far you go with the carriage without a dial. I missed that extremely in the past. I oriented my design a bit on the schaublin lathes. They have beatiful dials on the carriage handwheel :)
Oh, the beauty of hobby shopping! You do all perfect, measure it twice, test assemble them all together, then… it interferes with the cross slide!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Excellent job on the dial and great ideas! I’m working in a micro lathe and wondering if I can do the same due to the even smaller dimensions. Thank you for sharing!
Very nice work. I would take a different approach and rig a cheap digital DRO made from modified calipers or depth gauges. It would save hours of labour and be immune to the backlash in the gear train.
Thanks for your comment! Yes, that's a different approach. For super accurate work a DRO is the best way to go off course. Perhaps some day I will install linear scales (not the calipers). But in this case I wanted a mechanical solution as I had to install proper bearings to the handwheel as well I decided to make the whole assembly new. The scale I made is super intuitive to read and use and for the most cases it's absolutely accurate enough. So I'm happy to have this on the lathe, it makes work a lot easier and I'm using it very often.
We probably won't do better than this😁 I really enjoy your videos for the great level of problem solving using a great deal of ingenuity with only limited equipment. The camera work is tremendous too. That is a sweet dial locking mechanism.👌
A lot of skill involved here. And some great inspiration and food for thought. It might be more of a personal preference, but for me, fixed handles (to the wheels) would drive me crazy. 😄 Looking forward to the next video. 👍
Haha :) Thank you very much for your kind words! The handle is actually a result of lazyness at the end of the project :) I first wanted to install a turning handle but then went for the fixed one to get the project done. Perhaps I'll change it later but to be honest the fixed handle feels quite ok for me.
@@WeCanDoThatBetter At least you finish your projects when laziness hits. That’s a lot more than you can say about my pile of 90% completed stuff. 🙄🙈 Happy it works for you. 👍
After reading your detailed description, I totally agree that the carriage feed handle and the cross slide handles are to close to each other to begin with. Your new bigger and batter carriage feed handle makes this issue more pronounced than before, but I know you can make it better than new.
I am definitely 'late to the party'. However, the bit that intrigued me was how you accommodated the adjustment required to the distance between centres for the one tooth increase in the smaller gear. How difficult was it to ensure the gears would mesh together properly after machining the bearing seats and re-assembly? Brilliant video and the whole execution of the project by the way. Great to watch.
What a fantastic execution of this project. Very clean and neat work. It's sad that we all buy these Chinese Mini-lathes and then have to spend so many hours to fine tune/modify them to work correctly. If you calculated the hours it takes times your labor costs, we spend more money fixing them than they cost! lol!
Putting in the effort, overcoming difficulties, sometimes having to improvise and (not always) being happy with the result are all integral parts of this wonderful hobby :)
Wonderfully thought out ( apart from the colliding handles !! ) Very well made and fitted all in all a very entertaining and instructive video Thank you for sharing looking forward to the handle problem being solved.
There's a version of these 7" lathes that is built better out of the box. It has a slightly thicker apron with dual ball bearings on the carriage wheel shaft. The headstock is held to the bed with 4 bolts, instead of 3 like most of the other version. The saddle is rectangular instead of "H" shaped. It has an adjustable locking nut on the right end of the leadscrew. It was also the first version to have a PWM spindle motor control board. It is of course slightly higher cost. There have been many companies in many countries importing 7" lathes, started with this version. Most of them at some point switched to the version like yours, and most of those companies went out of business.
Very nice, but WHY the strange markings on the dial. Number, short line, 2x medium line, 1 short line, 1 long line, 1 short line, 2 X medium line, 1 short line, then number. Most dials are Number, 4 short lines, 1 medium line ( 1/2 mm point ) 4 short lines, number. Just looks strange. Still you can't alter it now. I am just intrigued as to you markings. Regards from Australia.
Very nice design! I especially like your wedge lock. A similar method is used for timing chain adjusters on some motorcycles. I'm in your same predicament regarding lack of spacing between carriage and cross feed handwheels and my solution might work for you: shift the apron forward of the saddle. I'm doing it with a pair of steel blocks. One will go behind the apron and under the saddle and the other will be in front of the saddle and on top of the apron. In regards to your fixed handle, that's going to grow old fast. I've made replacement handles for all my Chinese machinery because it one of the things that we are in direct contact with, and it effects our perception/feel of the machine. I used ground steel shoulder bolts with a pair of needle bearings and turned aluminum handles. The handles are hard anodized (type III) to resist both internal and external wear. Combined with stainless handwheels, it dramatically improves the feel of inexpensive machinery.

I really enjoyed this video, it's a problem a lot of hobby machinists can relate to. Smart design and clever engineering. I also liked the camera angles and editing, so you've got a new subscriber!
Far better than I was expecting from the title. Method's are interesting - I mean in a useful 'take note of that for future reference' way rather than sarcastically. Interesting fix with for the travel per rev - the larger SC4 also has a similar issue where the travel on the carriage wheel dial is not quite what actually happens. Very interested in your 'next project' as I have a similar issue. In my case, the wheels don't collide with each other but with me. One of those small shop issues but they stick out just enough to constantly snag yourself on them as you walk (crab-like) past. I was wondering whether a pivot could be made where the handle attaches so that the handle can be rotated out of the way and be stowed pointing out from the centre (or even 180° back on itself)- not sure there's enough space for the more traditional hinge towards the centre. A simple fix for your situation - if you don't have quite the space issue I do - would just be to extend the cross slide wheel shaft outwards so the wheel clears.....but where's the over-thinking fun in that?! :D
I recently stumbled onto this channel and immediately subscribed. Outstanding content!!! My only concern is wearing long sleeves near a machine. That's one of those lessons you learn early, usually explained by an older fella with scars to get his point across. I see those sleeves and I start to itch.

The lock mechanism.... wow! The project sure turned out nice. Very inspirational, and with limited tooling. Looking forward to seeing you pimp the cross slide next 🙂 Where did you get the handwheel? Thanks for sharing, Cheers
Hey, thank you :)! The locking mechanism is something Stefan Gotteswinter showed in one video similarly. Yes the cross slide spindle with scale and handle is the next bigger project :)

Thank you very much. I haven't used it a lot yet but it is really a pleasure to use with the big dial :)
YT algorithm is very weird. Your video is >100k subs and thousands likes. Everytime thumbs up before watch.
Thank you so much! The algorithms are a miracle, can't do anything about ist.. :) I'm just doing my thing and hoping some people will enjoy watching it :)
Really nice execution and a great video too!
Thank you very much!
And now we have a problem and another project. 😂 Story of my life especially my diy hobby life.
Dem Ingenieur ist nix zu schwör👍 Exzellente Arbeit 💪
hehe, genau :D Vielen Dank, freut mich!
Beautiful. 👍
The lock mechanism.... wow! The project sure turned out nice. Very inspirational, and with limited tooling. Looking forward to seeing you pimp the cross slide next 🙂
Where did you get the handwheel?
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers
Hey, thank you :)! The locking mechanism is something Stefan Gotteswinter showed in one video similarly. Yes the cross slide spindle with scale and handle is the next bigger project :)
