Well I can tell you as someone who operated and programmed CNC lathes for a number of years, this guy did literally everyone wrong! Turning down with a parting tool, turning down a very long billet without supporting it between centres, NO COOLANT! He's also taking massive cuts for such a tiny little lathe. It's actually a testament to the poor thing that it didn't immediately break! I'll just assume this isn't the guys thing, and he's actually really good at something else?

But that sound is not sth you want to leave working unsupervised even when using very sturdy machine.

    As a trained fitter with hundreds of hours behind a lathe (Colchester), this video was *very* hard to watch! So much was done wrong that I don't even know where to begin.
    "Oh look, the key won't stay in the chuck when I let go of it". Yes, excactly, that's a safety feature meant for dummies who doesn't realize what damage that key can do if the machine is started with the darn thing in there! First rule of opperating a lathe: Never EVER let go of the key/wrench when it is in the chuck. It should be like glued to the hand!!!
    And if you intend to use highspeed bits on a regular basis, you really need a tray and a coolant supply. Running those bits without coolant will murder them FAST.
    And the last thing you want is to sharpen a bit right before making the last pass...
    Neat little machine though.

    2. Put the workpiece farther in the chuck
    3. Face off the end of the workpiece
    4. Center drill the workpiece
    5. Extend the workpiece from the chuck as need
    6. Secure the workpiece with a live center in the tailstock
    7. Measure diameter of workpiece
    8. Turn down to desired diameter in small increments.
    9. Try to remember what you have learned.

    I owned a Proxxon PD360 for some years, my first metal lathe. I learned my lessons on it and it survived, despite heavy milling with a Myford slide and some crazy thread cutting. I bought an Emco Compact 5, which has proven to be the greatest thing I’ve ever acquired. I did buy a Proxxon PD400, the first one had a loud rattling when first switched on, so back it went. The second one seemed ok, but after putting a dti on it, I wasn’t happy with the spindle bore tolerances, so returned it. They claimed it was within tolerances, I disagreed. The other problems were that the leadscrew handwheel wouldn’t move the carriage, I assume because of having fresh gears and probably the thing that bothered me most, was that within 10 seconds, the motor became super hot, which made me worry about longevity. Still in terms of quality, they are the only good lathe on the market. If it had a beefier cast iron tailstock, it would be amazing. I had a Wabeco D4000, which had a tailstock bore which was way out of alignment with the spindle, though all other parameters were perfect, under .01mm. The D4000 was so flimsy, weak and lacking rigidity in the slides, that it was considerably out performed by my Compact 5, whose slides are made from Aluminium!!! The only other lathe that I respect hugely, is the Cowells ME90, which is the best lathe all round, but needs to be scaled up by 100%, to make it more versatile. Not used an Austrian Compact 8, but seen one and had a little play, seemed very nice, but the slides are the exact same design as used later by the D4000 jelly special.🤣🤣🤣

      If you're not afraid to do some tuning up before serious use, and Seig built (Chinese) 7x10/12/14/etc. family of lathes are quite good. I've got a Raceway 7x12, came from a Homeier parking lot sale for (twenty-five years ago) around $300. It's no problem to cut to .001" on the diameter. It's a little annoying that although it has an inch sized lead screw, the cross and compound have metric thread, but for much less than the cost of a "better" Little Machine Shop version, I could obtain the "true inch" screw parts for those (or, since I have inch-thread lead screw, I could make my own. It comes with plastic change gears, but steel gears are available aftermarket, and the plastic is a nice safety net for beginners -- overrun the carriage under power feed and the gears will break teeth or strip the keyway instead of tearing up parts that are hard/expensive to replace.
      You can learn anything you need to learn on one of these, before you spend a couple grand on a similar size Proxxon. No argument, the Proxxon is a better lathe out of the box -- but not $1200 better, IMO.

I would choose a minty used compact 8, or new, a PD400, just for accessories and reliability.

    What a beautiful little lathe, at 2:47in the video, I like how he is emphasizing that the chuck key has spring loaded detachments very important, if you had not got those springs and we're tightening up there Chuck, and forgot to take out the Chuck key it could cost you your life, I know you are thinking how would you forget to take out the Chuck key, but it is made more easy, because you would never have a habit of having to remember, because they spring out themselves, so with one that has lost its Springs is very dangerous, I remember years ago, when I was being taught in how to use a lathe, they were pretty big about 11 foot-long nearly, there were three Lathes , but the chuck key from one of the Lathes, had not got it's spring it had broke off, so it was not to be used by anybody except for the guy training us but, I recall one day one of the guys would not wait until the fella next to him was finished with the chuck key, so he went and took the one without the spring and of course he did not take it out of the chuck well I do not need to tell you how dangerous this was It flew through the work shop, at I would say a hundred miles an hour if not more, if it had of hit anyone it most likely would have killed them so, I like the way he points out that feature seems like such a small thing but it is so important these machines,
    They have to be given their respect they deserve you could pay dearly, but once you are trying and they are an absolute joy to walk on

    • @trainliker100
      @trainliker100 6 месяцев назад

      I would never depend on that spring. AND not all chuck keys have them anyway. What I do is have a hard rule that if the key is in the chuck, my hand MUST be on it. Therefore, I can't leave it behind. Been operating lathes for about a half century and never once violated it. I view safety procedures for machines just like for firearms. Never ever stray from safety rules.

    Considering that you're not using the lathe correctly, it does appear to be performing pretty well. You chucked in a fairly large chunk of steel that was pretty long and larger in diameter that expected, it did turn. You're using a cuttoff bit for turning, which isn't really recommended, but it did appear to cut. You also cut pretty deep with the incorrect tool and you're not using the live center and tailstock to support the end.
    I'm actually pretty impressed the whole thing didn't grind to a halt. I'm also pretty impressed nothing came flying off in your direction.

    Hey dont be too harsh on him I just acquired a unimat lathe (free) and my 1st job was 1 inch dia plastic to make a hub thingy for a small wheelbarrow. I was all over the place but managed to make the part, but I learned a lot from doing it. I have to make a wooden thing next, then maybe I will try something in metal.

    • @rmdave1965
      @rmdave1965 3 года назад

      @@joshdoyle5094 hi,no problem. The 1st thing is that the bar he was trying to turn was far too long to be supported just by the chuck jaws. The forces required to cut metal could have easily caused it to fly out into his face. Long bar should be supported by the revolving centre in the tail stock. To do this the end of the bar needs to be prepared by facing off to make it square,and a center drill used to provide the location point for the revolving centre. 2nd,without checking the lathe specification the bar looked too big to go through the chuck thus making it nigh on impossible to achieve the end bar preparation. 3rd,he was using a parting off tool to cut sideways!! These tools should only be used to cut at 90° to the chuck face! If he had trid that he would have got a face full of steel bar. If you want to get into machining,get a good book for beginners that will cover the safe operation of your machine. Then try and find someone who can show you the basics because watching then doing will help you on your way!

I had to use a hacksaw to cut then dress it up with a sanding block. Mine is better than nothing. It does some of the things I need. It was cheaper than a real lathe and it takes up a smaller space than a real one too. My projects and repairs looked like they were chopped from bar-stock.

    Tengo desde hace poco un torno como este: Proxxon PD 250 /E; y solo sé de torneado de metal lo que he visto por RUclips. Este es un micro torno (12 Kg y plato de 70 mm), no es un mini torno (aproximadamente 40 Kg y 100 mm de plato). Su peso y dimensiones lo hacen apto para su uso en el hogar (movilidad) pero lo limitan en cuanto a las dimensiones de las piezas a trabajar. Lo primero que hice con él para probarlo es un cono morse MT2 en acero, para adaptar un mandril chino de 16 mm y un miniplato chino al contrapunto, y todo fue bien. O sea que puede trabajar casi cualquier material, si se le aplica la cuchilla y la paciencia adecuadas. También me he equivocado con él al trabajar una barra demasiado larga con apoyo del contrapunto, pero sin soporte intermedio; con la consecuencia de pandeos (vibraciones), que hacen perder precisión, no solo en la pieza, sino también a la propia maquinaria con el tiempo; como se ha apuntado en algún comentario.
    Existe un torno de la misma marca alemana, el PD 150; que no tiene avance automático (roscas) y cuyas dimensiones le limitan prácticamente a juguetes y modelismo. El 250 sin embargo, es a mi modo de ver, perfecto para fabricarnos las pequeñas piezas que a veces querríamos tener para arreglar o fabricar cualquier cosa a nivel particular (hogar, moto-bici y demás vehículos). Existe también de la misma marca un torno mayor, el PD 400, que ya está en los 40 Kg más o menos; o sea, que no lo puede uno mover cuando termina para guardarlo en el estante de un armario; y cuya diferencia con el 250 es la que apunté: plato y dimensiones. Es decir, para piezas un poco mayores. De este tipo: mini tornos; en torno a los 40 Kg hay muchos. De menos de 15 Kg, como el 250, que yo sepa, solo existe actualmente este torno “de verdad”; y algunos chinos “de juguete”; que solo valen en todo caso para metal blando y plástico; y cuya precisión deje probablemente mucho que desear. El 250 me costó hace un par de meses 950 €; envío e IVA incluidos, en España.
    No me referiré al mal uso que se ha hecho en esta presentación, pues ha sido suficientemente tratado. Solo espero que esta información le sirva a alguien. Saludos.
