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!🤣
Thanks for your commen! I would prefer, the problems will come to an end some day :D But there is still a lot to do on this little lathe :) And yes, the crossslide handle and scale is the next project
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.
:) Thanks a lot! The clamping is really cool yes. Much more convenient as clamping with a screw from the side. I saw this idea in a video of Stefan Gotteswinter here on youtube.
Great videos. Not for what you make but the way you do it. Amazing how you can set up a lathe for almost any different kind of machining. There are hundreds of tips in the way you set up every part. Excellent Excellent !!
You do optimal work with less than optimal tools. The quality of your finished product is inspiring. Nice camera work too! Please keep the videos coming.
Thank you very much! I really do appreciate that. It may take a lot more time and needs some patience but even with little tooling you can achieve quite a bit :)
Now this is one of the best and best looking mini lathe upgrades I have seen done. Great idea and execution Beautiful finished product. Even the cross slide clearance issue I would normally call a mistake I said Ok … Good another project.
Really nice design work and execution on this project. I have never considered using a graduated dial on a carriage handwheel before, but it's an excellent idea.
@@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.
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 :)
Oh, the beauty of hobby shopping! You do all perfect, measure it twice, test assemble them all together, then… it interferes with the cross slide!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Excellent job on the dial and great ideas! I’m working in a micro lathe and wondering if I can do the same due to the even smaller dimensions. Thank you for sharing!
We probably won't do better than this😁 I really enjoy your videos for the great level of problem solving using a great deal of ingenuity with only limited equipment. The camera work is tremendous too. That is a sweet dial locking mechanism.👌
A lot of skill involved here. And some great inspiration and food for thought. It might be more of a personal preference, but for me, fixed handles (to the wheels) would drive me crazy. 😄 Looking forward to the next video. 👍
Haha :) Thank you very much for your kind words! The handle is actually a result of lazyness at the end of the project :) I first wanted to install a turning handle but then went for the fixed one to get the project done. Perhaps I'll change it later but to be honest the fixed handle feels quite ok for me.
@@WeCanDoThatBetter At least you finish your projects when laziness hits. That’s a lot more than you can say about my pile of 90% completed stuff. 🙄🙈 Happy it works for you. 👍
I saw your comment about the paper plate before I got to that part in the video and was puzzled by what you meant. Now that I've seen it, I'm humbled too. Impressive!
I used to have a small 200kg lathe, very quickly I outgrew it and made room for a 650kg lathe. Ultimately I am very happy I didn't spend too much time modifying my small lathe before moving on. 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.
Wonderfully thought out ( apart from the colliding handles !! ) Very well made and fitted all in all a very entertaining and instructive video Thank you for sharing looking forward to the handle problem being solved.
I really enjoyed this video, it's a problem a lot of hobby machinists can relate to. Smart design and clever engineering. I also liked the camera angles and editing, so you've got a new subscriber!
I recently stumbled onto this channel and immediately subscribed. Outstanding content!!! My only concern is wearing long sleeves near a machine. That's one of those lessons you learn early, usually explained by an older fella with scars to get his point across. I see those sleeves and I start to itch. Be safe my friend and keep up the great work!!
great design, love it. I have added a thin backplate to the apron of my mini lathe to keep swarf out and to hold a bearing for the handwheel. I am using a handwheel on the lead screw and am planning to add a digital scale with the read head under the apron.
On UA-cam I look just video of mechanics and I can say that you are one of the best I've ever seen. Continue so, I'm sure you'll soon have millions of inscribed PS I look forward to your next video
What a fantastic execution of this project. Very clean and neat work. It's sad that we all buy these Chinese Mini-lathes and then have to spend so many hours to fine tune/modify them to work correctly. If you calculated the hours it takes times your labor costs, we spend more money fixing them than they cost! lol!
Putting in the effort, overcoming difficulties, sometimes having to improvise and (not always) being happy with the result are all integral parts of this wonderful hobby :)
Yo! Im loving i found this channel! One suggestion tho. If you talked us through the build or just your thoughts throughout the build i bet this channel would kill! Anyways, keep up the awesome work!
Thank you very much for your kind comment and feedback! I really do appreciate that! In my latest video I started talking for better explanation. I think I will do more narrated videos in the future as some suggested this too :) Thanks again!
This was great! beautifully designed and executed. I am glad I stumbled along your channel. I will be following along. Just goes to show it doesn't matter the tools you have when skill is at a high level. I love the paper indexer. GOLD! Just subscribed. Cheers.
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.
"𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘆." In other words, you've devised a method we can use to fool ourselves into believing our machinery is of higher quality than it actually is? 😁
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.
