Heavy duty Homemade Lathe

- In this video i'm showing how i built my homemade metal cutting lathe mk2 from scratch! challenging myself by only making it with basic tools. It works really good and I will be using it alot in my future projects for sure! It probably won't be the most accurate machine ever, but surely good enough for me. Unfortunately i couldn't find a right size and hardened hollow headstock shaft at my local metal yards, and buying one new would have been way too expensive. Also i did pack the headstock bearings with grease, but just didn't show it on video. The autofeed works very good when doing normal work, but thread cutting is a bit to difficult for now, maybe an upgrade for later. As well as a digital readout.

People spent centeries to develope a lathe from ancient tool. Decades to improve, years to build one. But there's a guy just made one from scratch with an angle grinder.
Someone would say its a wasting time but as a metalworking guy... Your a hero. Hat off to you sir!
I have a friend who is always saying to me why aren't you buying, why are you trying to invent the wheel again?
And I say - is there a more satisfying thing then to build you own machine and then use it to manufacture parts?
@@ophirb25 this is our future cuz its not reasonable to buy one, and it will be worse in this slavery new world order
@@miloszivkovic6922 china makes very cheap ones. They have the cheap transport too. This project is good and with few modifications , a little better tools for precise cutting and gear based feed ( synchronized with the chuck ) he could make the lathe with the ability to cut the threads.
Cà Lem was my inspiration and now this guy too
Cà Lem you are such a genius guy
Best wishes for u
Stay blessed ❣️
Awesome, I just hope he survives all that rust on his lungs so we can get more content.
This is the most impressive thing I've seen on RUclips. Period.
Thanks😁
You watched a Period on RUclips!
@@BuffaloBillsSon and it was bloody brilliant!
It is kinda cool to watch the next Clickspring take his first steps.
100%
I've been a machinist for 40 years, I've done some amazing things in my life and this project has me impressed all to heck. What an amazing job young man, you are an outstanding craftsman.
Machinist will be impressed but mechanics are not.He was doing great but no bargain.
It's nice to see a video where someone builds a lathe without using a DIFFERENT LARGER LATHE. Thank you.
Very impressive build! I felt the pain of cutting all that steel with a grinder and a hand drill in my soul.
A small tip: I’d suggest wearing a respirator when performing heaving grinding in a tiny room to avoid chronic lung issues…
I'm not one for being a "safety sally" to other men in their own shops, but in this particular instance I second your small tip only because I want to see many more years of this mans madness.
I was thinking the same thing. Love this content, but please consider using a respirator with all those cutoff discs and metal flying in the air.
Thanks man!! Yeah it definetly was a pain but you know what they say: aint no victory without a battle😉 i always try to have my shop doors open when doing alot of grinding but might just wear a respirator next time as its been commented so much😅 thanks again means alot man i love your content too🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@homemade_madness All that iron oxide dust plus no-telling-what-else being atomized and sucked into your, still, quite young longs makes for, potentially, much unhappiness in your advanced years. Take that from a guy who has worked around machinery his entire life and lost a brother and and uncle to lung diseases.
You have done more grinding in this one project than I've done total, Ave you get to decide how you do it. But yeah, a respirator would probably be wise.
How does this only have 5K views, and less that 10% of those people have liked? This guy is incredibly skilled, especially for his age. This build is absolutely amazing.
I think the problem is true craftsmanship and skills like these are falling to the way side and most people on social media don’t even have a clue what he’s doing and what a lathe is. But you are correct he is incredibly skilled. Sad that this is not more appreciated.
This guy is obviously very talented and very persistent to build this. My only concern is for his safety with this large being very top heavy (as lathes typically are), but his bad needs way wider feet and should be bolted to the floor. Tipping it over would be very dangerous for him. But your right with your comment.... good on him
@@mattgrant6745 you sound like my mum, she said the same dribble literally.
Only takes 10 minutes on yt to see home taught craftsmen is a booming sector.
View count comes down to algorithms and watch time. A 37min no talking video appeals to 1 audience.
This is not entertaining or educational unless you already know how to operate all the tools he's using
Nearly 60k give it time my friend
@@rickyseddon4786 Haha, yeah that escalated quickly... 🤣🤣
Building a machine in a way that allows you to use the machine to build other parts of the same machine is just next level genius
As a machinist that mostly does Lathe work, this is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.
This is the most Insane homebuilt I've ever seen...
This is the whole new level of "I MAKE A NEW ONE"
He will really need to step up his game... fuck making new bolts on a lathe... how about make a new lathe to make a new bolt hahaha
My old lathe is unreliable
*I MAKE A NEW ONE*
@@origamigamer8990 My Mechanics needs to see this.
@@guillaumefraser3813 Thanks for getting the reference.
To be honest I am speechless ...
Considering the tools you started off with, I and many others are blown away.
Taking into account what you built here, a drill press will be easy for you.
Congratulations...
That’s why he mention build drill press next..haha…
Это же сколько терпения надо, чтобы на коленке сделать токарник! Парень, я восхищен тобой!!! Такой молодой и уже такой целеустремленный и супер упертый!
по дереву пойдет а по металлу увы, жесткости нет, бесполезная трата времени, но как опыт танца на граблях сгодится

Ive worked in machine shops and a maintenance workshop for 50 odd years and your effort was amazing; very impressive.
The best video ever. No talking, just showing work done and proof of end results. I hope RUclips pays you well.
And no fucking music or moronic sound effects! Epic :-)
As a turner of 38 years experience, that is seriously impressive workmanship. Well done sir!
👍👍
This is the most beautiful, useful, strongest, thing that i have been in RUclips, in the last years. Thanks a lot.
That's the coolest thing I've ever seen somebody build. Probs bro
This guy is very smart and extremely determined. Must have also spent a huge amount of time sourcing all that metal, and then to film & edit the video. I really like the cutting and surfacing jigs for the grinder. When I saw that temporary headstock, I thought "This is The Lathe that Built Itself"!
Haha true! Thanks
I kept think to myself ok how you get make that part then coming up with ways to do it. I too especially liked how the part built lathe was used to build some of the other parts. Next stop a large boring tool to bore out the headstock shaft .
@@jameshodgson1609 Man, boring out that hardened shaft might just be the thing that is beyond that poor treadmill.
I spent most of my time watching this video with my hand over my mouth, trying to keep my jaw from falling off. Man, when I was your age, I was still playing with car audio systems and chasing girls. HOLY CRAP THIS BUILD IS BLOODY AMAZING!!! I want to be you when I grow up, but you're younger than I am, so now what do I do?! YOU ROCK!
There is a lot of time during this video that the cameras are turned off, so who says that he’s not also out chasing girls (or guys. I try not to be judge-y)
Of course, if he keeps not wearing a respirator when he’s grinding, it’s going to make it a lot harder later in life to catch those girls (or, you know, guys)!
Seriously, though, he did an amazing job, and it was a good video of his efforts. While a lot of what he did might be lacking a certain degree of precision, he can use the lathe he built to make other tools and parts for his lathe that have a higher degree of precision.
No excuses. You should still try to be him if you think he is good enough.
The sad part is having the loud sounds in your car gets them to look but it dosen't make them like you
I just realized I've been watching with my hand over my mouth too lol
Впервые вижу подобное. У меня нет слов! Я восхищён и удивлён одновременно. Такой молодой парень, и такой смышлёный! Супер станок получился! Жёсткости узлов достаточно.
I was wondering to myself how someone would make a lathe from scratch, I searched for it not really expecting anything good, this truly exceeded my expectations by far. Stunning work, I was shocked by the level of craftsmanship and use of tools.
One of the best videos showing the fact: if there's a will there's a way! Please wear a respirator when cutting so much with angle grinder. That stone ash is carcinogenic. Awesome work!
Making a temp head stock to cut the hole! Pure genius!! The whole build is genius! Hats off to you sir.
Thanks!🤟🏼
I saw something similar on another channel a while back. There's something very satisfying / bizarre / funny about a half built lathe being used to make parts for itself 😀
I am a Journeyman Tool Maker and seeing your skill and dedication to this project blows me away! You needed a tool and made one Hell of a tool! That will give you many good years of service.
Congratulations on the talented project and perseverance.
He deserves a doctorate thesis in metal mechanics.
Former toolmaker/machinist turned machining engineer here. Very impressive! Add a cheap mag base dial indicator to the cross slide and you'll know how much material you're taking off.
Exactly what I was looking in the comments to find, need to use a dial indicator to make shure everything is square and uniform, a basic setup.square will only do so much for this kind of work
@@shaneward6689 yeah, I wondered that too. Square the chuck and look for runout.
Watch the lathe in doing its thing in my new project! ruclips.net/video/0qnLQNjDyPA/видео.html . Who’s up for a 3 axis vertical mill build next?🤪
Yupp
ohhh yeeesss please!!
I'm up for that.
Please
I'm up for ANYTHING you tackle! :o)
If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!
Best backyard machinist on RUclips. very skilled. can only imagine what this guy can do in a real machine shop if he can do all that with basic tooling. Mind is blown. Good job.
Building this lathe was not the most inspirational Part for me. His sheer patience and determination with a cordless drill and the amount of time spent on that grinder has surpassed anything else I’ve ever seen on RUclips. What a magnificent feat you accomplished my friend everything from here on out is gonna be a walk in the park. Good job!!
I WAS TIRED OF DRILLING AND TAPPING THOSE HOLES JUST WATCHING HIM!!
I would have broken so many drill bits.
This is the most impressive DIY build I've seen on RUclips. You made one of the most useful shop tools using only handtools and the unfinished lathe itself to complete it.
Indeed. At the beginning, I was like "Well, I guess, I have to see another home made lathe to kill my time with", but after I was Genuinely stunned. This fellow beats Everything I've seen so far.
To make a lathe, you must first build a lathe
@TheChangenick A LATHE WAS THE FIRST MACHINE THAT STARTED THE INDUSTRIAL REVELUTION BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY MACHINE THAT CAN REPRODUCE IT SELF :)
@@outstanding1448 s
Couldn't agree more this is extremely impressive
I don't even have words to describe you sir! But I'll start with patient diligent hard-working and impressive!
I’ve watched many lathe restorations but this is the first lathe build.
Congratulations
Its absolutely insane that it works as well as it does. If you just made a Steel part with it, handed it to me and told me it was cut on a homemade lathe, built using only angle grinders, I wouldn't believe you one bit. Hats off!
Cant wait for the milling machine :p
I’d be very impressed if he could pull off a decent mill, as I can’t see how you could build the table with just an angle grinder. Additionally, he wouldn’t have much use for a mill as he doesn’t need lots of high precision parts in his projects. He’s already showed what a good surfacing job he can do with just an angle grinder and a jig.If he did do it, I’ve got no doubt he would pull it off
Your ability to problem-solve for not having expensive tools never ceases to amaze! Dare I say you technically even have "Surface Ground" ways on your lathe!
Now, put a dial indicator on tool bed, run in by hand to touch the dial gauge spindle. Zero it out- turn handle in and out with a round piece of ss behind handle for indicator with pointer needle, mark out lines in thousands, you got vernieer scale markings for feeding indications! You are very talented indiviual! Welder is spot on, your welds are 20 year veteran worthy! One can always tell when someone loves what he does, thats U!!!
As a machinist and a fabricator, this was truly impressive!.. I would have never taken on such a task without using a mill, lathe, and store bought ways, carriage etc.. for you to do this with nothing but raw steel and some very basic power and hand tools is beyond impressive. I feel like this is how it must have started.. someone built something like this by hand, then used it to create more accurate parts to build a better second version and so on until we had the precision of the machines we have now. Hat is off to you sir! well done! And you should definatly go for the 3 axis mill build next!
Hours and hours and hours of hand planing in order to build a mill that could do it.
When using a lathe in school I used too always think how would you make a lathe without a lathe 😂 answer is use it half way through the job 😂 It’s like the chicken and the egg thing 😂 love it great work !
It's just fascinating how lathes can be used to make themselves. Not very many tools have that superpower.
thats so true bro he did well.... i feel like making one now
You are the quick jig master! I've never thought to jig my grinder to produce a flat surface, outstanding thought process. Well done!
We watched and surprised as a whole family. What a craftmanship! Respect 🙏
Impressive.
It requires a lot of skill to make a sutch good lathe. And just with tose limitet tools, seams nearly impossible. This is one of the best videos on RUclips. Keeper ging.
Greetings from Germany
The way you rig up your grinder to make the flat edges is as impressive as the build itself
This guy is still so young and doing impressive stuff. He's gonna go places.
That's what I was thinking. Kid essentially made a milling machine.
Руки у тебя золотые! Молодец ! Я смотрел до конца , это удивиьельно что есть ещё такие люди , которые умеют делать всё своими руками !!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Impressive does not even begin to describe how I feel. This is a revelation. Lathes are scarce and far between in my country. This problem has chained up both fabrication and engineering and everyone is just whining about it . Your video proves that they don't have to be, we can indeed make them with the tools we already have in our workshops! l am blown away. The force is strong with you sir. You have a loyal fan in Nigeria. Keep up the good work.
Went into the video thinking "alright this is going to be an inaccurate pile of shit right?" then sat here for 30mins straight not believing what I was seeing and finally ended with "this was the most impressive build I've ever seen." Honestly dude I'm speechless right now, the cleverness and hard work that you put in to make this thing is undeniable. You have earned my subscription I physically cannot leave without subscribing now.
No only the lathe made me speechless, these angle grinder jigs you used are just as impressive as the new built lathe!
Thanks for sharing!!
but you keep spinning round in your lathe-ering on of kudos ... and just keep tooling around the issue of how impressive it is LOL .... couldnt resist you started it LOL

Ты просто молодчина,
Лайк за твой усердный труд и ум 👍🙏
Man, this is amazingly impressive. I worked as a journeyman machinist for about 11 years and I've watched quite a few videos on here about people building lathes from scratch and I have to say, without a doubt, yours is leagues beyond them all.
Absolutely stunning and you seem to be pretty young to top it off. Literally, amazed!
This possibly one of the most inspiring videos ive ever seen!
Nunca me he sentido más satisfecho de dar un like. Eres un joven impresionante; el mundo necesita más hombres como Tú.
Yup ! You pretty much blew everybody away with this stunt ! You are a master ! You deserve a congratulations fit for BOSS !
As an engineer myself.. speechless absolutely fantastic! what was made along the level of detail and dedication, honesty you should be so proud of that !
I loved the car build you did but this is completely madness, this is final year engineering with 100% PASS👍
Your tenacity and ingenuity is mind boggling. I'm blown away.
I've been a sheet metal worker and fabricator for over 25 years and I'm impressed. Normally I criticize these DIY machines in my head the whole way through but I am honestly impressed with this. You may want to build yourself a mill next if you haven't already, then everything else will be way easier.
I’m in complete awe! For those of us that’s actually used a 4 1/2 and 6” angle grinder can understand the dedication it took to make this lathe. You are a true artist
If I'm honest I must say that it works much better than I have expected - congratulations to this awesome build! There are few construction mistakes but for that usage they shouldn't become a big problem.
One thing: It hurts me to see all the dry slides and bearings... It would be very good if you oil the slideways to reduce wear and improve the motion (GLP68). Much more important than oiling the slideways ist the lubrication of the headstock/ spindle bearings. Industriell machines have a closed gearbox with oil which lubricates the bearings too. In your case I would disasamble the spindle, clean the bearings perfectly with brake cleaner and compressed air, cover every bearing housing from both sides (left a little space between spindle and cover) and grease it regularly through a grease nipple.
Thank you for your entertainment!
Greetings from Germany!
If he takes your advice that thing should last forever
I do understand your advice is given with true sincerity but possibly something he considered as "overkill" given the type of build? He strikes me as a very knowledgeable and tenacious individual and I look forward to whatever he does next as I certainly could not aspire to such levels of skill.
@@alangraham4526 Oi the vanzebo is a masterpiece ! :)
@@alangraham4526 absolutely not. Those bearings won't last long without lubrication, and any dirt in them will cause them to fail rather quickly.
Oiling is easy. You can just oil it every day manually. Lots of machines are that way.
But for the dirt... You need some seals.
For the ways, some way oil is nice and easy and cheap insurance.
You have broken all standards with your achievement. I have not seen anything on RUclips that is more grateful than this wonderful work. Your work is ranked first on RUclips.
This is absolutely insane! The grinder skills are level 1000+. Unbelieving fabrication!
The most impressive thing is the accuracy of the entire build using only those tools.
I applaud your dedication and craftsmanship, truly a work of art.
Fair play, $800 wouldn't get you close to a Lathe of this size and weight unless you got an absolute steal of a second hand unit. It's obviously never going to be as accurate and repeatable as a factory built item and there's no threading capability but for the jobs it's likely to produce, I doubt if you need that.
I particularly liked the fact that you had to use it to make parts for it....... Latheception?
You obviously have the skills to step up your game. Now build a milling machine and use the two of them to produce an even better Lathe and upgraded Mill? Lol.
One can thread using taps and dies and the stability of the machine.
@@scottsolar5884 This is true, however only up to a certain size, which, in my experience is usually juuuuuust smaller than the actual size the job required. Lol.
he dosn't need a mill, he's got an angle grinder and some wood jig's?!
For sure he can do threading and inprove the accuracy. There is many ways to do threading, not just those methods form a school book, Inam sure you guys know it. Now, I would start with a basic table levelled somewhere in the shop with good milling machine. All would be much more accurate and easy, but still kudos to man, amazing work.
@@camberlubos3995 Agreed, the only problem with Lathe threading though is you need a fairly complicated and adjustable gearbox to drive both the main faceplate and the carriage spindle in order to cut different thread pitches...... I can see why he wouldn't have attempted that on a home made machine.
Wygląda pięknie i robi swoja pracę. Rewelacyjne wykonanie.
Impressive build. I've seen many home builds on RUclips, but this lathe is truly fantastic! Really GREAT job!
All my skepticism melted away as I made my way through this video. It didn't turn out to be a giant waste. The result speaks for itself. I'm very impressed. Thanks very much for sharing this.
As an aerospace engineer let me say: just impressed!! Well done dude.
This lathe is literally better than any tool room lathe ive ever used
Excellent! Thank you for sharing your skills! I am an ME, but unfortunately, I am 100% service connected disabled veteran who has had seven back surgeries. I can't sit or stand for more than 10 minutes. My shop is collecting dust.
i fully expected to watch this and find that he bought the rails and crosslide.. etc. This has to be one of the best builds i have ever seen. The way he preloaded the spindle bearings was brilliant.
Wow you are a crazy person. In a good way. Hats off!
Thanks! You too😉
A brilliant example of skill and self-sufficiency. Anyone who has spent time machining will smile and appreciate this - kudos!!
I’m only at 7:00 and I’ve already lost my shit when I saw the angle grinder table saw. Much respect can’t wait to see the rest
You've made a useful machine tool using relatively primitive but available hand power tools along with some intelligent design choices, ingenious fixturing then using the partially completed tool to fabricate additional parts of the tool effectively redefining what it means to build a machine shop from scratch. The precision appears to be reasonable for your purposes though the tailstock drill chuck appeared to be a bit on the wobbly side. Refining what you've done is using the machine to make itself and in the future make itself better. Congrats on using common materials to do this. You're an inspiration.
Ho lavorato nell'industria elettromeccanica 43 anni e vedo una enorme volontá in questo ragazzo deciso di arrivare all'obbiettivo.Ha dovuto affrontare molte problematiche con i comuni utensili a disposizione ma ha risolto le complessitá della macchina con soluzioni geniali.
La robustezza del tornio è indubbia ma forse dovendo realizzare anche una macchina di precisione alcune parti le avrei comprate giá fatte e rettificate.I miei complimenti per la tenacia e l'operositá Bravissimo !!!
What an accomplishment! Gives me new faith in the next generation. I was going to ask how many sanding disks you used but then I saw the infinity symbol! I figured it was a lot. I tip my hat to you sir, a true fabricator and machinist. All I can say is wow...probably the most impressive RUclips video I've ever seen.
Thanks man!!🤟🏼🤟🏼
Just before I watched this video, I literally watched a video from Fireball Tool, showing the way you use a cutting wheel can make a difference in how long it lasts. Still, I'll bet all that surface polishing took up a ton of discs.
You kick ass. Don't ever stop. I agree with this guy!
Pure determination brings the stubborn ox to pen. This is what man should be. Even if the gap is watertight, its not tight enough to keep a real man out.
This is my all time favourite RUclips video
You have shown everyone on RUclips what a Home build should be all about. To be able to improvise with the most basic tools for such a build is a talent that very few people have. Mate, if you keep this enthusiasm up the sky is the limit. I thought I was clever because of the things I build but my work shop is like NASA compared to the tools you work with. The future looks bright for you.
This should be an ad for Makita Tools.
It should.. but it isnt (yet?🤷🏼♂️)
he is European judging by wall sockets, Makita is widly available and most bang for the buck in Europe by far compared to the other brands that is why it is so widely popular here
@@ApexLegendsChampionsClub he is dutch
I never leave a blue box behind at an estate sale if I can help it. As a result, I have mostly Makita gear now. Been very happy with them for a number of years now.
Hi Sr.This must be one of the most extraordinary works done by an DIY handyman,From the design up to the finished lathe it is a beautiful achievement.I admire specially the way in witch you planed the steel pieces using only handtools,Amazing.Congratulations.And the machine looks so solid and stable too.
You made something beautiful. Wow! Utterly flabbergasted by the ingenuity! 🥰 Good job Sir!
What is so amazing about this build is YOU DIDN"T LIE! All of the tools were basic. Some of the parts were purchased or sourced from other machines, but that's fine. You saved tens of thousands of dollars. Truly amazing.
Dude, this is amazing. This is by far the most impressive diy build I've ever seen. This Old Tony and AvE would be proud!
This reminds me of my first metal lathe experience: broken POS in shop class. I ask the teacher “if I fix it, can I use it?” He says knock yourself out kid. I had no idea what I was doing and nothing precise was ever made on that lathe but I learned a ton.
Your mark one lathe was impressed. The mark two is even better.
Wow, hands down one of the best homemade lathes I have seen made on RUclips... I'm speechless. You have a very bright future!
Let me add and a very bright present :D
The thing about 33 min videos playing at 1.75 speed without volume is they really make the sheer epicness of what you have built an understatement. This is genuine DIY gold. Not a drill press in site! The fact that you cut that square bar in half so neatly is testament to skill mate. Nailed it. I mean having gibs would be handy later on but I reckon by that stage you would probably have built a better and more accurate one.
im not often left speechless by critical thinking and practical application, but this bloke has it down to a T, im 7 minutes into this video and i am genuinely blown away at the skill shown right here.
Finally! When someone says Heavy Duty in their title, they meant what they said. Nice job on the lathe! Thank for the video
I watched 10th of videos of diy lathe, this one is the best for me! Simple but detailed process explanation. I just can't imagine cutting these strong steel plates with your grinders! Bravo! Time needed was long but result seems perfect for a long time!
For someone so young to make this with minimal tools as well is just mind-blowing. you certainly have a good future ahead of you, very well done sir, I am super impressed.
Я много смотрел видео как сделать токарный своими руками, но тут есть интересные технические решения! Ваша работа восхищает. Благодарю за то что делитесь своим опытом!
I don't even know where to begin, this is literally the definition of "where there is a will there is a way", your truing jigs were simple, precise, effective and absolutely brilliant, to think you did this without a basic drill-press and chain drilling the slots by hand in that heavy of plate steel is where the Madness part of your channel name comes from, using parts from the treadmill was creative and saved you a lot of money, outstanding work.
Thanks!
En ik maar denken dat Lathe iets met koffie ten maken heeft, ik zit hier echt met de bek open, complimenten👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Perfect job man with only 800 bucks (plus 200 for drill bits and grinding disc's)!! the only things I would change would be to perfect the alignment of tail stock for perfect drill holes and put nuts on the terminals of the front and longitudinal drive axles to not be freely while they turn! Except that everything is absolutely perfect !
I am blown away with this project. Beyond anything I would attempt and you made it look easy. Great job!

You can be really pride of yourself! Congrats 👌👏 can’t wait for the video of the drill now 👀
Thanks!! Soon😁
@@homemade_madness nice job ... would this be scalable down to say a desktop version for modeling work ... say a max size of 2 or 4 inch stock 25mm or less
.
did you know when you used the lathe to make the lathe you actually machined out any alignment errors by using the circular mean of the error to compensate for it ... essentially the turning took into account the error and machined with that essentially at 0 ..... at the end of this build to the basic lathe finished how much cheaper than a store bought one of roughly the same abilities ...
Очень смелое решение сделать полнофункциональный токарный станок. Уникальные технические решения были применены. Поздравляю! Но есть небольшое несовпадение осей шпинделя и задней бабки. Это видно во время сверления. Уверен, что вы справитесь с этой проблемой Больших успехов! Вы-талантливый человек.
