I come from a family full of machinists, but I never had the chance to actually use a machine tool myself. When I finally picked up this lathe, I couldn't shake the itch to convert it to CNC.
I have been tinkering with CNC systems for years, and I love converting things to CNC. In the end everything goes back to stock, but that never stops me from trying.
My feedback is, keep doin what you're doin, which is making stuff that you think of and about, test it and try it out, and keep improving it until you are happy with it and it works the way you want it to!
One commenter I recently talked to on another post was losing his mind over people making their own lathes, complaining that you can't make your own lathe and that it's all way too precise and exact for anyone to make their own...
Lathes didn't fall from the sky one day, and were just like anything, started with an idea that was acted upon and tinkered with to make work!
I reminded the guy also, that people don't usually start building something from start to finish without testing it out along the way and making several improvements and tweaks to their build in order to make them better for their own needs! It also depends on what the person builds it for and expects from it, and how much effort they want to put into it.
People like myself really appreciate these DIY videos, whether they work or not, because they help us viewers come up with our own ideas and alternatives, or give us reasons to do or not to do the same thing!
Thank you for the great work you do!
This is great! I've been a machinist for 13 years, your doing just fine and I'm very impressed with your skills. I'm about to make one of these myself.
That was neat. I look forward to seeing more on the lather.
Thanks for posting. I ended up with a little bigger lathe and adapted it for CNC. Since I also wanted to continue to use the lathe in manual mode, my conversion was a little different. I found XL pulleys and belts about the same size as the hand wheels, added spinner handles, and mounted the steppers on a bracket to the right of the cross slide. Mach3 and some Grbl versions can account for backlash which is a usual feature of these little lathes. I also turned a mandrel to fit and tighten into the spindle shaft for the rotary axis feature. So far it works extremely well for ornamental turning of wood and is rigid enough for metals. All good fun.
Nice timing! I'm beginning my research on doing something like this for pen making (don't have adequate workshop space yet, but I have the lathe waiting). At the moment I'm getting a feel for what other people have been doing and it's nice to have something so recent.
Timing couldn't have been much better honestly. Good luck man! Post up some vids when you get yours going! Thanks for watching!
The willing to try, the courage to mistake, those are enough. 😊
Awesome job dude
That looks pretty cool.
Looking forward to your Iron Man suit project.
What impressive work
Watching the first 15 seconds cracked me up! Hella relatable. got my sub!
Bro great stuff!
I am so looking forwards to seeing you make a CNC TIG welder to make a 3d metal printer :) I was thinking about it, but I think I need to start out with the lathe and plasma cutter.
Machinist trolls are the best kind of trolls. especially the retired ones that have the time to write great explanations.
CNC machine comes Long Way... very nice setup..
I like your vids
Well... there goes my plans for the weekend. Gotta do this. For sure.
It really is a cool project!
Connection ??
GReat job Man. Greetings from Colombia. Would you mind sharing the plans for this build? Thanks in advance
I think you and me have lots of common things :D
I'm exactly the same as you, I find myself in your videos :D from starting water missile to CNC hobby :D
Upload More please :D
I'm doing a CNC conversion of a Harbor Freight mini wood lathe with absolutely minimum changes to the original machine. It's way more fun to make the tool than to make things with the tool.
When you TIG welding break your ark but keep the gas running for about 5-10 seconds. It will cause less oxidisation in the part and make your tungstens last longer
Nice! So I picked up a SB 10K. I'm about 60% back together and already wanna go stepper. Any recommended motors, suppliers for kits, software, etc.
Muchas gracias por el aporte
I like it, thanks for the video
You are welcome, thanks for watching!
@@StrangeGarage can you send me some links for what I need in my computer, are u using grbl?

This might help a little bit.
@@StrangeGarage thanks
I’m an amateur machinist but there’s a few tips I may be able to give. Being 4 months ago, you probably already have all of this.
First things first get a quick change tool post. Those tool posts they come with are garbage. The QCTP is the highest quality of life improvement you’ll ever get. No shimming or stupid stuff when changing tools. You also can adjust very fast with the jam nut if you don’t have a bunch of tool holders.
Next get a machinist handbook and read it once or twice. I have a lathe/mill combo, so this really helped me. A lot of them are old books but all of the machinists knowledge is still very valid.
I saw someone talked about your 3jaw chuck already, but you ought to find a 3 jaw that is basically inverse of what you have. I barely run my 3jaw like you have there unless I’m grabbing something that’s like 3inch dia.
That’s a much nicer lathe then I have, mines very old. Seems you have a brake and everything.
Threading sucks having to switch gearing but it’s such a great skill to learn. I make everything that’s custom x28 pitch because I don’t want to change gears lol but it works fine
The next thing I really want is a 4jaw
The old books are the best ones. I will watch a video from the 1950's before I watch one from 2009, they knew how to teach back then.
My chuck is frustrating, the gears are curved instead of straight so it can't be reversed, that's definitely the first upgrade I need. I know "it came with a reverse set of jaws", but somebody lost that before I ever bought it. I also wish my lathe were bigger, but I'm officially at my space capacity in my garage🤷♂️
My cousin is a machinist and has been picking me apart for weeks now, I'm getting better all the time. And honestly, RUclips comments teach me so much, I always walk away with useful tidbits of info. Thanks for lending me your experience!
What steppers and drivers u used?
What's use 2axis brackout board sir
probably should have changed the screws to ball screws as backlash can cause problem when machining some part, as the computer isnt really able to compensate for it
I was looking at ideas for converting my lathe to cnc. Not talking trash but I don't think I'll go your way.
No offense taken. It works pretty well, but it is very wonky.
So..plasma cutter cnc soon? ;) great video!
Actually...
So I built it... I'm working on the video now. Probably post it in a week or so.

@@StrangeGarage perfect, I'll check it out when I'm back at the house tonight
Jesus, by wounds in your hands I thought you had a plasma cutter already...
My hands make me good money, but their life is hard.
I saw your video on air horns. I want to install a killer legal horn on my 2019 F250. What do you recommend.
Grover products emergency stutter horn. Great and loud horn.
Can u teach how to connect motor to lathe pulley
👍
Could you touch on the how to controlled the stepper motors? What electronics and software?

@@StrangeGarage cool thank you! I will watch this soon.
You are welcome, let me know if you have any more questions.
I would love to know more about the software and how you programmed the baseball bat design
That's a tricky one. I have a video on the controller/software setup for a CNC router. This specific program was real weird. In short, this is programmed as a mill (only x and z motors are actually wired). I designed a bat radius profile (looks like a bat cut in half) and the machine is of the impression it's milling the profile.
I used fusion 360 for the Cad/Cam, and Mach3 is running the code to the CNC controller. Do you want to see the video on the router setup?
@@StrangeGarage I’m definitely going to have to check that out. I’ve built the MPCNC and use fusion 360 as the cam for it. Making a custom cnc seems hard because you have figure out the make the profile for fusion. I’m new to your channel can’t wait to check out your older videos.
@@gp8681 It's not too bad because fusion has plugins for mach3 g code. So when I "post process" my tool path I can select "mach3" and the code is automatically compatible. I don't have a lot of videos on that topic because I'm trying to reach a larger audience, but feel free to ask me questions directly. Either here or on instagram messenger (@strange.garage). The biggest part of custom machine making is don't get frustrated. Patience, time and research. If it's possible you will eventually get it.
@@StrangeGarage that makes sense but still a good bit of work you have done on the back end not in the video. Great job I love the project.
@@gp8681 A lot of people don't realize that a video like this takes around 20 hours to make. Honestly probably more. I have a full time job and it took me just over a week to build and program this machine in the evenings after work.
You need more jubilee clamps and hydraulic cylinders.
What is mace3
Bravo Turkey İzmir selâm 👍
Connections??
Connections?
All your skill and you make a miniature basball bat!?
I like you based your product, ì you visit Viet Nam, I wait you
ahhhh do you wanna sell this machine to me
It’s actually z and x there is no y
