Hey Tony, just wanted to share with you that my large bench top lathe improved after re scraping the cross slide and saddle. I went from having to make 0,3mm depth of cut at 0,1mm feed per rev to being able to run 1,8mm depth at the same feed. Maybe you can throw your mini lathe on the surface grinder and achieve the same performance gains. Good luck Tony & stay healthy! Love ya! EDIT, just realised that I should have left this comment on your The Infamous Mini Lathe! video. Nevertheless I still Love ya!
I tried to say "this old tony" to youtube app, got "old pony" on the first try, tried to pronounce really clearly on the second try, got "they sold pony"
Tony, every time I see what you are up to in “The Man Cave of Solitude”, I have a little chuckle. But more importantly I am LEARNING, for which I thank you for. Most people laugh at the person who tries to do better, and may fail in there attempts. But with out people like you, Wilbur and Orville would still be flogging push bikes. Tony you are the modern day equivalent of “Charles Edward Taylor”. Well done, and thank you sir!
I'm in Massachusetts and I heard Adam (Abom79) all the way down in FL lose his lunch at sound of that tool being purposely broken. You are the man ToT! you have Nerves and rods of steel (presumably)

I was doing a very similar cut in 4140 today. I got the finish you got. But when I added TapMagjc as a lube it went from scratch finish to a glass like finish. 0.0075 doc at 1200 rpm (470 ft/min) 5-10 thou federate. The cutting oil was the necessary ingredient.
It would be interesting to have a video on how to troubleshoot surface finish issues. Probably basic knowledge for machinists. But apart from a short job at a friend's lathe, my last lathe/mill experience was over 20 years ago in high school. And we probably never even covered that bit. What I do seem to know about it is that it's mostly angles (both cutting and relief), depth of cut and surface speeds. And making sure you're using a sharp tool and a properly supported work piece (i.e. no jitter). But I'm sure the story doesn't end there.
Tony, I am an amateur (hobbyist), and I make a lot of similar cuts with very poor planning, on a wimpy lathe. If you replace the carbide insert with a Warner high speed steel insert, the cuts will look great...
Way to go T !!You showed that insert who's boss, then you showed that other one... I wonder how many it's gonna take before the rest learn who's who, Go get em Tiger!
Hi Tony, It appears that the finish was caused by chatter. Shorten the length of the cutting tool and try the same cut again. You may also want to mount the lathe adapter on a heavy slab to add mass and weight to it. Robert
Down with bifurcated leg prisons! ...But seriously though your spindle is doing pretty well; for a lot of things being round matters more than being 15 RA.
The tool would interpolate the cone angle whilst roughing depending if you are using a type 1 or type 2 G71 canned roughing cycle ( not sure how this works on your router/lathe/mill/welder/wicked sex machine ) but that’s how it works on CNC lathes , great job as always keep your stick in the ice
Also thought I’d add , you normally can’t change direction in ‘X’ in a canned cycle (for example if you wanted to do an undercut ) if you are using a type 1 cycle , but you can in a type 2 , the only different is there is a X AND Z figure in the first line of the canned cycle e.g G71 U2.5 R0.2 G71 P100 Q200 U0.25 W0.1 F0.25 N100 G0 X27 G0 Z2 that would give type 1 G71 U2.5 R0.2 G71 P100 Q200 U0.25 W0.1 F0.25 N100 G0 X27 Z2 That would give type 2 If you need any help with canned cycles give me a message !
We have a small machine like yours in our shop to manufacture bolts. You need a large tip radius to get a nice finish plus at least 2000 rpm. This works for us turning grade 5 bolts down. Mirror finish
Hey Tony, thanks for breaking your shit for my entertainment. I honestly can't imagine how tough for you it was to push such a neat creation to the extreme. I baby everything I make and fix, back away slowly and dont breath on it type mentality. As always thanks for makin' and occasionally breakin'
Hi Tony, not sure if you have thought about it already, you could produce some "practice packages". It's like homework with instructions, to guide noobies like me learn the basics. I will definitely purchase it. Cheers! Learning lots from your videos!
Naaah, it is the overall rigidity/ stiffness of the gantry to the chuck. It is amazing that he manage to cut it at all. I think it will work great not on turning, but on 3D milling similar as when he cut the flutes.
that surface finish is more due to the fact the work, chuck and spindle is "bending" away when taking the cut.. still a wicked cool project.. i wanna play as well..
@@raymondmucklow3793 Ahh! I see you're trying to get me with the whole semantics argument!

Why not slot your tool holder block 90 degrees to lay down conventional lathe tooling? I presume your code works best in X & Y vs using Z geometry to cut from top on centreline. Great video, good versatile shop toy.

And as I am about to put together a new AVID cnc router So many of the things you have incorporated into your machine Had also been part of my thoughts 💭 I have a small wood lathe that I am planning to set up just about like your 4th axis.

Hey, This Young Tony, Clearpath has very high power servo motors with integrated electronics. It looks like it would be better option that your stepper. They are Integral hp series You should also wire error signal (if it had something like that) to your estop, so when you stall it, nothing will move.
Actually watched that without wearing pants, but I did not feel to be put on the spot. Thank you for being that understanding and especially for the cat shirt! Meatball could have even more cameos.
You know down here in the Land of Oz we call Speedo's 'Budgie Smugglers'.. I always thought that was particularly cruel to the budgie.. Or maybe the wedding tackle... Not being into illegal activities, depending on which state you live in, I've never tried to smuggle any birds in my shorts, that's when I'm wearing any, but I digress...
Where's the meatloaf?! Nice progress, hope you show more projects with this add-on. Also will cool to see what types of different tooling you can make. Wow. definitely opens the flood gates. The chucked sharpie. xD
Thought you were referring to me at first, but then I realised you said "5 pounds". Oh, and winter draw(er)s on... which is good advice at this time of year.
Ouch, awful little tool smash on that last clip, but still a great project that must have been! Might I suggest some kind of gearbox that could have a dedicated main spindle motor to drive the chuck for turning, while still having the existing stepper timed to the spindle that you may use for indexing? Some kind of solenoid controlled spindle brake too, Tony?
Few more magnets around the base might stop that steel deflecting to when you bury that tip in. I got a bit scared😱 I must say when you started on the deeper cuts
This CNC router lathe combo is turning me on. I might have to chuck a few bucks at eBay. Spend some time milling around, and see what I can chip together. Unfortunately I wasn't wearing pants, so now I have to write the wife some g code, and put a few inserts on the tooling.
Turing test... And here I was, a computer scientist, thinking that there might be small areas of expertise where This Old Tony does not outshine me. Illusions crushed. 😉
One does admire your work and humour, and I think I have now watched all of your vids - very enjoyable. Now hmmm.?!? The concept is great but the performance is probably not as you were hoping? The stepper save for the trunnion and get a servo (now that merch is on offer £££), side mount ( you have space) and reduction gear it to main shaft, encoder shaft - you know what I mean. More expensive I know but you will be happier. :) This option can also allow you to add some removable mass to aid turning. Maybe even a brake! Hobby style disc bike caliper, air solenoid, aux M code combo. This will help with your arc backlash for 3+1. Turn-mill's are not easy to design so hats off for trying. ;) One phase at a time my friend.. Lastly, FEA your tool post I know you can do it, the offset design makes my toes curl. Anyway keep the adventure rolling, I love seeing hobbyist' make CNC's. :D
Very entertaining. If it makes you feel any better, cold rolled steel is very difficult to get a good finish on in any situation (in my very limited experience). The best finish to date for me was a vertical shear cutter. Still, it doesn't compare to metal that behaves well like 303 stainless. My 1.5 cents.
So....Tony (aka TOT) - maybe for us naïve beginners, what is it that’s affecting the finish? Speed? Feed rate? Runout? Tool deflection? Operator being a tool?
Glue-o-dinium magnets ..the rarest of all rare earth magnets
noice
I'm suspicious of the magnet test. I can't quite put my finger on why.
You could say it was a bit tacky

Few more magnets around the base might stop that steel deflecting to when you bury that tip in. I got a bit scared😱 I must say when you started on the deeper cuts
This CNC router lathe combo is turning me on. I might have to chuck a few bucks at eBay. Spend some time milling around, and see what I can chip together. Unfortunately I wasn't wearing pants, so now I have to write the wife some g code, and put a few inserts on the tooling.
Wasn't the biggest fan of wearing a heart but am a fan of TOT. Thanks for the redesign on the hoodies. Ordered.
Turing test... And here I was, a computer scientist, thinking that there might be small areas of expertise where This Old Tony does not outshine me. Illusions crushed. 😉
I've been putting off jumping on the merch bandwagon for some time now, but ToT is the camel that broke the straw's back - first thing come payday.
Your post production and Foley are really good :)
That surface finish is amazing. Shiny as my flannel pants (which I refuse to wear while watching your videos
Yeah! Shirt and hoodie! Boyah I'll grab some of those buggers, and some stickers for slamming on my press at work
Even at my age, you learn something new! I had no idea hot glue was magnetic ! XD
One does admire your work and humour, and I think I have now watched all of your vids - very enjoyable. Now hmmm.?!? The concept is great but the performance is probably not as you were hoping? The stepper save for the trunnion and get a servo (now that merch is on offer £££), side mount ( you have space) and reduction gear it to main shaft, encoder shaft - you know what I mean. More expensive I know but you will be happier. :) This option can also allow you to add some removable mass to aid turning. Maybe even a brake! Hobby style disc bike caliper, air solenoid, aux M code combo. This will help with your arc backlash for 3+1. Turn-mill's are not easy to design so hats off for trying. ;) One phase at a time my friend.. Lastly, FEA your tool post I know you can do it, the offset design makes my toes curl. Anyway keep the adventure rolling, I love seeing hobbyist' make CNC's. :D
Very entertaining. If it makes you feel any better, cold rolled steel is very difficult to get a good finish on in any situation (in my very limited experience). The best finish to date for me was a vertical shear cutter. Still, it doesn't compare to metal that behaves well like 303 stainless. My 1.5 cents.
So....Tony (aka TOT) - maybe for us naïve beginners, what is it that’s affecting the finish? Speed? Feed rate? Runout? Tool deflection? Operator being a tool?
