How I True My Lathe
I don't think there is a way to make "leveling" your lathe fun and glorious. Its a meticulously tedious process that will try your patience. But, it is extremely necessary and is well worth it if your goal is attaining a high level of accuracy from your machine. This, in a nut shell, is how I go about it.

The Sheldon Lathe Part 2: Walk Through and Things to Consider If Your Looking at Lathes
Переглядів 4,9 тис.3 роки тому
Before we get into tearing into this lathe, lets walk around it and talk about some different things that we should be aware of. This is by no means an end all be all guide to buying a used lathe, but I do feel this is some pretty solid insight into definite things that we should be looking at. There is one test that I forgot to go over in this video and that is a rough test for spindle bearing...

    I was going to order the same lathe, but changed my mind to the G0709 you mentioned early in the video. I'm not a gunsmith, but build model engines. So a 2" spindle bore isn't an issue--and I had to order a DRO with it as well, because I definitely wanted that. But the thing that sold me on *this* model was what you mentioned about gear changes. The G0709 requires far fewer than the G0824. Either way though, these seem like very good lathes for the money. Thanks for making the video.

    One hour and 16 minute video with 15 minutes information . You might consider speeding up the cutting portions of the video. . Honestly a good video just way too long for many but the newest of machining folks... Sorry if I sound to critical for many but I know if the video is too long you just loose many viewers who really need the information... Thanks for Sharing ...

      I prefer a longer video for instructional purposes. I generally feel like important things are being missed or minimized. For entertainment type videos, short is good. For instructional videos, I want all the details possible.

    I love the video, very knowledgeable: I would like to know the name - brand of the big blue lathe with the "K" on the front side of the gear box. I don't think it was mentioned in the video. Note: I think that a "Micron" is 1 millionth of a meter or 1x 10-6 meters ( 0.000001 meters)

    58:19 - Excellent explanation. Was really confused how it worked and theory behind it on how to level the bed, I have seen many showed the test bar cuts but really didn't understood the concept of it. The triangle example makes more sense now. Super informative and provided all the tooling/metrology required. Thanks.

    for the newbie. you spend your time tapping on some upper surface of a lathe that obviously has no concern and no adjustment to squaring. What would not be better to move the camera and your pointer stick to the areas to be adjusted?

    @jasonhull5712 Рік тому

    Well crap.. I only have four leveling feet. Two under the headstock and two under the tailstock. I've got it level, but the headstock is off. I've got .017" run out on the chuck too which is not helping things. I have a clausing metosa c1330s and its been quite the learning experience getting it setup and cutting. Thanks for sharing your process. It was interesting to see.
