Using three power tools simultaneously to make one unusable part, this is the kinda spare time we all dream of and it’s great to have Matthias out there living it
I was psyched and fired up at the beginning of this thinking "man, I can DO this!. Then, Matthias whipped out his program onscreen with all of his brilliant engineering know how, and I cowered, lost a tear and crawled under my desk in sadness and frustration...
Hi Matthias. @3:34 the Hall effect sensor you are pointing at is only connected to the RPM display. It only receive 5v from the main board. The motor speed is mesured from three additional sensors hidden inside the head, on a dedicated PCB.
The sensor is likely ONLY for the display. And there is likely ONLY one sensor. There doesn't need to be any feedback to the motor control. The potentiometer sets the speed. It sets the pulse width. Nothing else is needed. And Vevor sure isn't installing anything not necessary.
@@mk6595 There is actually some feedback to the control board on this lathe. The PCB inside the headstock connect both the 3 phases and a signal cable with a JST connector. I have the exact same lathe and had to replace the motor on mine.
@@mk6595 this model is powered by a brushless DC motor, which uses three phases. The main board convert the ac main power into three phases, a bit like a VFD. Check out replacement board for this model, all the I/O are labeled.
In the old days (1930-1960) of shed-in-the-garden model engineering in the UK, there were two traditional projects for the metal lathe. One was a handle for the main spindle - this allowed super low speed, high torque operation, and extended the range of possible projects. it gives remarkable control for threading, e.g. up to a shoulder. The other was a handle for the lead screw - exactly for the high pitch thread scenario you demonstrate. The pathological worst case pitch is rifiling, which can be as little as half a turn over the full length!
Those enthusiastic 1930's craftsmen would have given a vital organ for a variable speed hand-drill! (Craftswomen in the engineering shop had not yet been invented... women had too much sense!)
Eh, lathe chuck jaws get damaged all the time. As long as it's not a clamping surface, its fine, and if it is a clamping surface, you just use the lathe to turn them back so they're even again.
more like his inner machinist, same same, but different - not all m ad scientists are machinists, and not all machinists are mad scientists, but there is a lot of overlap
I made an extension for my lathe by using an inner bearing race from a front wheel bearing off of a Toyota RAV4. This so happened to fit the threaded nut off of an angle grinder. I pressed it into the race very careful to keep it square and then I spot welded it on. I found a 5/8 bolt to fit the threads and cut it to a 30° point in the lathe. Now remove your tailstock and this assembly can be mounted in your steady rest all the way to the end of the lathe. You can dial in the center using the adjustment screws on your steady rest. I should mention, the bearing race has a flare on it so make sure that is toward the head stock so as you tighten the center point screw, the flare will rest up against the edges of the steady rest screws to keep everything from pressing out of the steady rest. It all worked great and gave me another six to eight inches of room on the lathe.
if I needed to make a longer wooden screw, I'd make some wooden tailstock that attaches to the end of the lathe. But the next limit would be carriage travel. Still, I'd be able to get at least another 5 cm of threading that way, plus a bit more unthreaded part at the end. Now just need to find a need for a wooden screw like that.
problem with wooden screws like that is they are relatively inefficient compared to a rack and pinion, so hand cranking it would be a lot of work. The basic flexispot desk frames are not very expensive, so not very motivating come up with a wooden version.
A major issue with wood screws is the friction involved. They are very sticky under load so adjustments would take a lot more force than a metal screw.
@@matthiaswandel A child powered Hamster wheel attached by belt-drive to the FlexiSpot gears in the event of apocalypse and no electrical power is available 🤣
@@matthiaswandel That's great! Wish I could do the same - to many vents and big area, make it impossible to control temperature or humidity, without a complete remodel.
Take a lathe, which interested engineering viewers will have seen many times before... give it to Matthias and be prepared to be amazed! Some will say "You must not do that!"... Some will say "I must try that!" But rest assured everyone will be entertained by what they have seen! Thank you once again, Matthias.
An interesting take would be to make double-sided threads (both left- and right turning) on the bolt, and then left- or right-turning only on the nut. Double-threaded on both is interesting as well, but has no practical use, the nut can just slide off.

Running the lead screw for a very large screw pitch is some thinking outside of a box! Recently I need to make a large thread on my lathe - a wooden form to wind a coil for an induction heater and I am going to steal that idea. By the way - I have purchased a 1000W induction heater for my workshop and have been playing with that. It is only about 25 bucks kit, but you have to supply your own power supply - 48V at at least 20Amps, which is not trivial. The heater can heat up a tip of a chisel for heat treatment in under a minute. You can also use it to braze your own lathe tools using discarded tungsten carbide inserts.
@@matthiaswandel I think they're a kit you can buy on the usual places - search for "zvs induction heater" - it uses a zvs flyback driver circuit, hence the name.

One of practical uses for those I've seen is piano stools. I used to have one of those round ones that's been with me all the way whilst growing up and it could be adjusted quickly.
I have no idea how you did what you did or why you did what you did but it was thoroughly entertaining and I am incredibly impressed. This is what RUclips was made for.
Classic applications are a wine press, olive oil press or Printing press. From memory the required force for an olive oil press is quite high. My friends in Corfu have an old cast iron monster in the village & it's a heavy duty monster. Corfu used to produce a lot of Olives, it's part of the Island's culture & the groves were once all over the island, so olive pressess were often seen. Less of them now I belive.
So cool! Making big gears and screws, you have inspired me before! I made a ceramic gear art piece over a year ago, and recently i made a collection of large ceramic nuts and bolts. When i saw the large bolt in the thumbnail i thought whaa??
I plan to build a toy involving wooden threads for a Christmas gift this year. I'm undecided as to the material for the wooden nuts. The best options I've come up with are some scraps of 1 1/8" plywood subfloor, hardwood, and making my own like 3 layer hardwood plywood. Seeing the plywood nut here makes me think it will be adequate. Though the subfloor is not that nice of plywood. I could glue 2 pieces of decent plywood together...
I've never owned power tools or had the space to do woodworking. But I'm in love with the craft. Hope someday I can do my own small projects. good video, man
you dont need power tools or lots of space to do some small projects. go to a flea market and pick up some old hand tools mainly a hammer and a chisel and a saw if you wanna get fancy. when i was like 12 i broke a kitchen drawer and spent all day fixing it by cutting a new bottom out of old plywood with nothing but an old hack saw blade. funny thing is that drawer with the custom jagged bottom is still in my moms house 15 years later and still functions
Carving might be an option for you. It's messy, but doesn't take a lot of space on the small scale and you can get started with just a few tools. Just keep a first aid kit around for when you inevitably cut your finger.
I have a 1960's jigsaw and power drill, two long clamps, and a single tool bag of hand tools I've bought over time as needed (screwdriver, pliers, etc). A surprising amount of things can be built with this setup and it takes up almost no storage space. Most of my projects are held together with Robertson screws from McFeelys.
My Grandfather used to make wodden nuts and screws by hand using a chisel to smash grapes on wine press! Some big screws could press some tons! Back in portugal on early XX century
Last year, I went looking for a tap with the thread for a broom handle and I recall finding a few for... over 100$ which didn't work out. Now to get a small metal lathe to save money on broom handles.
He builds stuff just like i do >Exacting precision for thread pitch, custom built jigs, process and forethought about how to line up repeated passes corrextly >Mashed up the tool magnets, cbf waiting for the right part, fuck it just drill it out wider by hand and tape in some magnets i had lying around 😂
I'm actually surprised you were able to get such consistent results driving the leadscrew with the drill... I guess there was pretty minimal load. Clough42 made a electronic leadscreen driver that you might want to look at.
problem with this approach is very limited depth, unless you try to cut from both sides, but then aligning is difficult. Or make two flat nuts and sandwich them.
04:25 if you get the jaws of the chuck out and turn them arround you can clamp from inside, you should be able to clamp that part I know it would interfer with your cut but I thought I would still mention it in case you don't know about the jaw turning. Be careful tho, usually the order of the jaws is important for the chuck to be aligned
The jaws don't turn around, this lathe has a separate set. And clamping the nut from the inside is not practical because I was milling the inside. Duh.
@@matthiaswandel you could clamp inside hole ,turn outside to dimension that could be hold in outside clamping jaws. if part dimension allows it ofc.Its standard for rounding things like flanges,washers etc. . . Try get 4 jaws chuck with separate moving jaws and dial indicator then you can make excentric parts.Also there is a thing called face plate for mounting ireggular things with clamps and screws.
@@matthiaswandel I mean I also said I know that it would interfer with the operation, just wanted to give info in case you are not aware of it yet. Was in no way meant to be lecturing or anything considering its not even useful in the operation you are doing.
If you are in the humour to make giant screws, i'd like to see you make a worm. there is a ham radio antenna rotator called the spid alpha that uses a worm to turn a cog. this is because a motor turning a worm does not require a brake to remain stationary in high winds.
Nice video. When you were cutting the nut, Moving the router cutter out just a little would give you the same cut and angle, but not hit the nut with the router because you could move the router body back a little. Just an idea. But still I like the video and how you cut both parts... Thumbs Up!
Maybe for on a wood lathe which are usually larger, but don't have a lead screw. Make a differental (aka Chinese) pully. Drive the pully from the headstock. Then use the differental pulley to convert rotation into linear distance. pull cutting tool along a linear guide etc.
You my friend are a madman !!!! I love it, cept for the sparks, less sparks lol. You could always use your giant wooden nut as a prize and start up BattleBots: Woodworkers Edition !!! Now that would be wild to watch. All in all how are you liking the Vevor lathe ??? I was loving their S4040 CNC Machine till it just died on me, they're sending me a new one but in the meantime, scrollsaw it is.
oh man. I dont have a lathe and I NEED plenty of wooden broom handles. All I got is a Dremel and screwdriver kit 😛 I have maybe an X-Acto wood carving set maybe. And of course a hacksaw. I wish I knew how to churn out a bunch of wooden broom handles. I always end up going to the shop and buying the plastic threaded ones and they most of the time snapoff or crumble to bits 😛
I'm not sure what kind of a 'spin' you're going to try but this BIG W00DEN SCREW premise is hanging on by a thread. Call me nuts for watching. But I'm the stud in my hood so here I am.

Acme thread forms will have more thickness and less taper, maybe better for wood - like a broom handle thread. Acme = inch, Trapezoidal = metric.

If you are in the humour to make giant screws, i'd like to see you make a worm. there is a ham radio antenna rotator called the spid alpha that uses a worm to turn a cog. this is because a motor turning a worm does not require a brake to remain stationary in high winds.
Ah yes, metal lathe, the ultimate router jig:)
wait until he figures out how to strap a pantorouter to the toolpost
If you want to make more threads you could try making a big adjustable wrench for that bolt
Nice video. When you were cutting the nut, Moving the router cutter out just a little would give you the same cut and angle, but not hit the nut with the router because you could move the router body back a little. Just an idea. But still I like the video and how you cut both parts... Thumbs Up!
I see new Matthias I click
I think historically they used to boil wood in oil, wax, or lard when they were used for machinery, have you experimented with that?
He's done experiments like that for his wooden gears way back.
Use the Screws for a nice Workbench Vice … Good Job
Amazing stuff!
now you just need a set of giant wooden wrenches for the giant screw/bolt
I feel like you could incorporate this into something like your old toy projects. Like a marble elevator.
Please make a crescent wrench
Maybe for on a wood lathe which are usually larger, but don't have a lead screw. Make a differental (aka Chinese) pully. Drive the pully from the headstock. Then use the differental pulley to convert rotation into linear distance. pull cutting tool along a linear guide etc.
That would be perfect for a book vise.
You need to make a giant wooden wrench. Adjustable.
First thought: what's he need that for? Second thought: does it matter?
You my friend are a madman !!!! I love it, cept for the sparks, less sparks lol. You could always use your giant wooden nut as a prize and start up BattleBots: Woodworkers Edition !!! Now that would be wild to watch. All in all how are you liking the Vevor lathe ??? I was loving their S4040 CNC Machine till it just died on me, they're sending me a new one but in the meantime, scrollsaw it is.
That wood on wood contact is like nails on a chalkboard
Now you need a giant wooden wrench...
Should have made a big wooden wrench to go with it. Makes a nice set for kids
Best from Poland
oh man. I dont have a lathe and I NEED plenty of wooden broom handles. All I got is a Dremel and screwdriver kit 😛 I have maybe an X-Acto wood carving set maybe. And of course a hacksaw. I wish I knew how to churn out a bunch of wooden broom handles. I always end up going to the shop and buying the plastic threaded ones and they most of the time snapoff or crumble to bits 😛
6:32 nice!
This guy loves gears
Fascinating!
Wonderful!
I needed one of these.
That’s pretty neat.
wow ...that was impressive.
looks like it still wouldn't fit, but you can turn the chuck jaws around and hold stuff from the inside
these jaws don't turn around, but I have a separate set for holding from the inside.
Genius!
Coming soon to the MatthiasWandel store ..... plans to build your own lathe!
(because the little table top metal lathe is too small)
had lathe plans in the store for 8 years now
Einfach ne Maschine der Typ
The thumbnail shocked me.
Amazing.
I'm not sure what kind of a 'spin' you're going to try but this BIG W00DEN SCREW premise is hanging on by a thread. Call me nuts for watching. But I'm the stud in my hood so here I am. Well, so far the video of this screw is quite groovy! It's almost hypnotic. It's ingrained in my tiny brain! Seriously. I thought "bosch humbug". But I have to say; This wasn't as screwy a idea as I had originally thought. Of Course that Fine. I'll admit it. Thank you for this video. Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd House on the Left (please call before stopping by)
@NoEngineerHere just did an excellent video about how he changed the gears on his lathe to an encoder, a close loop stepper and an arduino! Perhaps you could do that, too?
No need to. The gears work just fine for me.
@@matthiaswandel Fair enough!
