eyup Olly Looks "Pecking"🤣🤣 marvellous to me. If your not sure what your doing yet Olly, don't know were that put's me in the cnc Pecking order🤣🤣 One year when i have nothing to do i might put my mind on to it!!!🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍 see you next time atb🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅 Kev
Well done Olly, great to see the progress. There's probably a joke in there somewhere about knobs and CNC programmers, but I will spare you the anguish 🤣🤣🤣
Mornin' Olly, Great result, well done!!. And really well done for getting the lathe running on CNC. That first cut looked too deep but I wasnt totally sure with the camera angle. Looks quite a task getting the swarf not to wrap around the work piece. 4 more days to go!! All the best!!
Thank you so much for sharing this videos on CNC lathe. May I please ask what software do you use to send the G-code? From your other videos It's clear how to create the toolpath in Fusion but how to send it to grbl controller board?
Hi, I use UGS as the gcode sender. I have also used candle, but UGS is less buggy. I think there's a few others, but I haven't used anything else. Hope this helps. Thanks for your comment! 👍
@@nomadmika it is basically the same, just with 2 axes instead of 3. Working out the various offsets still gives me a headache. There's probably a good way to do it, but I haven't found it yet. The visualiser in UGS isn't designed for a lathe (unless there's a mode I haven't found). I have to trust what I see in the fusion simulation, then run the gcode. It doesn't always (read that as 'ever') work first time!
Great video but please use pliers not fingers if you're going to remove the bird's nest whilst the spindle is turning. The plastic's too strong to reliably snap by hand.

My eyes widened when it went to make that first cut! Brilliant 👍
You way braver than I would ever be to operate a lathe by cnc. Kudos to you for your achievements. That knob came out great. Well done. 👏👏👍😀
Thanks Andrew. It's certainly gets the heart going as the tool approaches the chuck!
Hello Olly,
That worked well... I really liked the emergency power switch on the CNC lathe - lol
Take care.
Paul,,
Thanks Paul

What you didn't see was how long it took me to get fusion360 to generate the right toolpath. 🤯
Latheception! Using the lathe to lathe some parts so you can use the lathe to lathe some parts!
Glad to see you got the cnc lathe running!
One day I'll actually make something!
Well done Olly, great to see the progress. There's probably a joke in there somewhere about knobs and CNC programmers, but I will spare you the anguish 🤣🤣🤣
... I could think of a few!

The first cut is often the deepest....
Gday, there’s nothing wrong with that knob, great to see the cnc up and running, cheers
Thanks Matty
It's maybe 5mm short but it works and has a very nice finish :)
....I feel like there's a joke in there somewhere!
What's that old chestnut, "It's not how long it is, it's how you use it"...

@@ollysworkshop Thank you so much it does help. I am using UGC for my CNC mill but wasn't sure about how to use it on a lathe.

You are right, I'll station an appropriate tool by the lathe.
