    And all without a mill! The lathe is the machine that can make itself,,,,with a little help from the drill press. ,,, but what impressed the most was your toolmaker grade workmanship and mostly the engineering. Second to none!

    Amazing how much you can do with a small lathe. It just shows technique and knowledge is more important than having a big fancy expensive machine. I learned a lot from this video.

      Even on a monster lathe most jobs are smaller. I have a 10x22” lathe for the garage at home and the big lathe is at work. If I get a bigger job on occasion, I just take it in to work and use the big lathe but my little lathe is my “go to” for most jobs.😀👍Keep making chips!🤣

    I know I am a little late to the party, but that dial is one of the most beautiful things I have seen someone make. I did a tiny little wheel for my compound. I had never thought to make one for the carriage. That was really wonderful. Now, I have to make one. I will inscribe WCDTB on the back in your honor. Thanks for that... a lot.

      @@mapsi03 Yes, I've seen many lathes before (have you?) The crossfeed and compound handles are normally graduated, but I've never seen a graduated dial on a carriage handwheel - you'll note that the original plastic wheel did NOT have graduations. This is typical on all lathes that I'm aware of.

    • @WeCanDoThatBetter
      @WeCanDoThatBetter  3 роки тому +3

      Thank you very much! That's right, not every lathe has a dial on the carriage handwheel. But that's a useful modification. Without a digital readout you have no idea how far you go with the carriage without a dial. I missed that extremely in the past. I oriented my design a bit on the schaublin lathes. They have beatiful dials on the carriage handwheel :)

But this is done very nicely, definitely took some time and patience. Especially the handwheel engraving, nicely done! Personally I would save the effort and upgrade to a large machine before doing such work, but I understand this is a hobby.

    Very nice design! I especially like your wedge lock. A similar method is used for timing chain adjusters on some motorcycles.
    I'm in your same predicament regarding lack of spacing between carriage and cross feed handwheels and my solution might work for you: shift the apron forward of the saddle. I'm doing it with a pair of steel blocks. One will go behind the apron and under the saddle and the other will be in front of the saddle and on top of the apron.
    In regards to your fixed handle, that's going to grow old fast. I've made replacement handles for all my Chinese machinery because it one of the things that we are in direct contact with, and it effects our perception/feel of the machine. I used ground steel shoulder bolts with a pair of needle bearings and turned aluminum handles. The handles are hard anodized (type III) to resist both internal and external wear. Combined with stainless handwheels, it dramatically improves the feel of inexpensive machinery.

    After reading your detailed description, I totally agree that the carriage feed handle and the cross slide handles are to close to each other to begin with. Your new bigger and batter carriage feed handle makes this issue more pronounced than before, but I know you can make it better than new.

    Thanks for sharing this video. I've really enjoyed watching. Just a thought of mine to be aware of from this mod. As a mini lathe takes it's gear cutting through the same apron gears the screw cutting gear assembly will be out with changing the drive gear from 24 to 25 teeth..
    This is no way a dig at your mod, this is truly one of the best I've seen,
    Suitable over engineered 😊

      Thanks for your comment and your feedback! For threadcutting, you only engage the half nut with the lead screw and then the bedslide gets pulled along the machine bed when the leadscrew is turning. The gears inside the apron of the bedslide are only for the handfeed via the handwheel. When turning the handwheel the bedslide moves via rack and pinion and the gears transmit the movement. The changed 25 teeth gear will not affect the threading as this is exclusively done with leadscrew and half nut. On this parts I haven't changed anything.

    Excellent wie immer 👍 als nächstes sollte wohl das Getriebe überarbeitet werden. Bei mir gab es auch dieses klacker Geräusch kurz bevor es sich zerlegt hat.

      Vielen Dank! Freut mich. Du meinst die Hauptzahnräder zur Drehmaschinenspindel? Hoffentlich halten die noch, das wäre jetzt nicht gut :). Was hast du dann gemacht? Einfach getauscht?

      @@WeCanDoThatBetter genau die meine ich. Die Zahnräder sind aus plaste und werden mit der zeit spröde und zerbrechen einfach. Ich habe als neuen Antrieb auf einen 0.75kw 3 Phasen motor mit FU umgebaut und bin direkt auf die Spindel Welle gegangen mit einen gt5 zahnriemen. Ich glaube mich zu erinnern mit 40Z am Motor und 30Z an der welle.
