Mechanical engineer here. A lot of comments about the calipers. No this is neither the technically correct tool nor a very precise way of measuring precision machined parts, (you can expect +\- .005” on caliper measurements typically) but the scraping he is doing with the tool is most likely of little to no consequence depending on the material of the caliper edge. Many calipers have a hardened or even a carbide tip. You need to consider the relative hardness of the material. Mild steel is far softer than tool steel or carbide, and will cause little damage to the calipers. You did very well on this project with the tools you had at hand. Don’t let people tell you that you should not do a thing purely because it is imperfect. If that were the case nothing would get done.
If a caliper is useable but not optimal what would you suggest? I have no hardware experience, I’m a programmer, but I think it will be fun to take on a project like this.
Great work brother. And remember . Don't care about negatives in the comment box . You are better than them . Some people can watch on a side without sweting and knowing challenges on the metal works .
Hey enginnering student here. First of all awesome project. The few improvements you could make are: - making the whole thing more rigid by screwing it down into a concrete slab for example - the axle for the chuck has way too much play, this won't allow you to get good finishes and form tolerances - for the turning dial which controls the slides you could get or make one that has an adjustable vernier scale so you could keep track your depth of cut
Pobre instrumento. Usa un calibrador digital para rayar y golpear. Mejor usas otro calibre para rayar o mejor aun. Usa la parte trasera del calibre y rayas con un rayador con punto de carburo. 😊
@@juancarlosreyes8090these sorts of calipers are pretty cheap these days. Cheap enough that they can without guilt be used like this and even sharpened a good number of times. About 10 bucks or so.
Although a good design for a bench top hobby lathe, it would be considered “super light duty”. It’s obvious you can’t get a good finish because your machine is too loose everywhere showing rough finishes. Though, you’re on the right track. At best you’ve created a working wood lathe, where precision isn’t as extreme as it is for metal lath(ing) standards. If you focus on why machines problems you can find the solutions and quite possibly correct those mistakes. Not bad as an idea. Keep trying, never give up.
Just a suggestion, if you really really want to use those calipers to mark your work pieces, why not lay down some contrast like sharpie/pentel pen ink so you don't need to press and drag that poor tool on what looks to be roughly ground steel with mill scale? Or get some cheap chinese non-digital verniers and go to town with those? I keep two calipers on me when i work (used to be three when i worked in a gun factory). A mitutoyo and a chinese no-name - i used the mitu to get measurements i can bet the farm on while the no-name gets all the abuse.
Come on guys, chill! He his building it with limited tooling, and he never say this video is any kind of reference. Ok I have to agree about the caliper scribing.. Light scribing on sharpie ink is enough and non destructive Keep going mate, it will beter every next project, no failing just learning (Cheap tip: an optical centre punch…)
Parabéns! Excelente, fantástica iniciativa. Valeu cada minuto e centavo investido com certeza. Agora com o passar dos dias, trabalhando, você pode ir melhorando conforme sua necessidade! Sucesso.
I dont like to be negative but this craftmanship and lack of care for quality is just like thorns in my eyes. 2 minutes in and i can see that its never gonna work. You dont use rails like that for a metal lathe. I can see that everything is crooked. Construction is weak in so many spots where you cant have any flex. You free hand drill the holes for high precision parts.. really? you have the tools you tool. Use them. Not a single video with normal speed when using says it all. Even tho you try to fast forward the result you can still make out the extreme shaking and vibrations and see the part that seriously would look more smooth making it using a drill and a file.. I can tell it screams and vibrate like the apocalypse even without you showing me.. but i guess you can still probably do wood and plastic; if you can accept tolerance of +/-2mm. Offensive
Considering that Harbor Freight wants to sell you a Chinese-made mass market lathe for $749 vs this, I’d rather take this. And to all the haters in the comments, saying and doing are two different things. Just like all “opinions” out there, everyone has them. You wanna talk crap about how someone uses a tool, or how they did a process wrong, then you turn around and YOU make a video showing how it should be done. Otherwise, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything and move on to another video. No one made you watch it, you chose to watch it. At least he had the balls to publish the video in the first place. I’ve made hundreds of hours of videos. Only to not upload them because of non-encouraging comments like the ones provided here by “talkers” and not “walkers”. @jeymous Keep making them vids and always make sure to read your comments to learn new / “other” ways to use tools and/or processes. Take care 😊
That's pretty much what brought me to this video. If you really want to do metalwork then this is a great project for new machinists, and even older guys like me that want basic metalworking tools for the shed.
@trcwm Nah, his wife doesn't sleep with him anymore, so he's a grumpy alcoholic, that things his machining skills are superior then the symmetry of gods throne.
@@trcwm No, we're actually doing well. Any serious metalworker would cringe watching that, but since this is youtube we are all supposed to smile and pretend every bad video is great

Job well done. I am also looking at building myself a small lathe as its becoming a tool I need regularly these days.
Your caliper is hollering after you used it as a scribe

Nên tăng kích thước ray trượt lên phi 18 hay 20 để giảm độ rung khi dao chạm phôi. Chúc bạn thành công.!
Great video, thank you!
Um abraço do Brasil.
Parabéns pelo projeto e pelo vídeo. Ganhou mais um seguidor.
muito obrigado🙏
Im struggling to find a 16mm pillow block bearing, any tips? they seem to all seem to be either 15 or 17mm on ebay?
Why you doing that to your caliper 😢
Amazing work btw! 😎👍
Mas que um torno uma verdadeira obra de arte 👏👏👏👏
such an amazing work👌🏻
Thank you so much 🙏🌼
What motor is that ?
Good Job 👍
Thanks!🌹
dude, fill the hollow sections with concrete, i promise you, it will feel a lot more rigid and it will dampen the vibrations
It lacks a alloy centering morse tailor but I think you can attatch one later

That's a good job. Even if I think something's missed... where's the tailstock?
Parabéns pelo projeto e execução do mesmo !
Para diminuir a vibração aconselho uma base mais reforçada.
Abraço !
You can get a calliper with a proper scriber on the end.
Xin Thông số bản vẻ máy tiện này đi add ..cảm ơn nhiều
👏👏👏👏
Te felicito amigo. Completa tu torno con una contrapunto para q sea una maquina 100% completa.
If it works, is it really a bad idea
wenn ich als Lehrling so mit dem Messschieber umgegangen wäre hätte mich der Lehrmeister rausgeschmissen,zumal der Anriss so vollkommen ungenau wird.
Xin kích thước chỉ tiếc máy này ạ
Good work! 👏👏👏👏
👍 Молодець, у Вас золоті руки! Лайк!!!!!
огромное спасибо
Very well and tanks for sher
Thank you 🌹🙏

what are you talking about? have you ever even held a hammer? its so shit; both the work and result, that it is offensive on a personal level
So many mistakes, Great video for learning what not to do !
thanks for sharing with us. You're not allowed near my calipers.
I love this work! Thanks for sharing
you can also convert this to CNC lathe
nice project by the way.
Thanks 😊
سلام وقت بخیر خوبین؟پیجتون پریده؟
Ngl, after I saw that video of that Russian dude being spun like a rotisserie, the lathe has been the last thing I wanna be around
drilling in gloves? really?
holding the drilled piece with your hand? really?
Great work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thanks for sharing!!🌹

Yeah...and the caliper...I will never get that screaming caliper out of my head again...
عمل جيد
Very nice lathe. Good work sir
Not a single washer was used in this project
You lied, I seen washers used in this project….🧐
Rest in peace caliper used for scribing metal, never again shall you measure correctly
Caliper be like : 😱😱😱😱
Genial. 🙋🏻♂️🇵🇪
이렇게 만들어서 정밀도가 나올까? 전혀 안나올꺼 같은데....
budget please
around 300 dollars
Rap of verner caliper 😂
Мои глаза ... разметил штангенциркулем ...
For Sale ?
iam just curious how much would you pay if you want to buy this? iam thinking about making these and sell it in my country

гайку крути, гайкууууу
I can tell 1000 way to improve it
Tell me, i wat to build something like this
Youll help me a lot, plese
you lost me in the first 1 minute when you didn't clean off any mill scale, did you ever wonder why your welds turn out so bad?
do you really used the caliper to mark those lines? BRUUHHHHH
not matter we not use tip to measure bruuh xD
The way you use that caliper tells all about the amateurism of this project.
You sound like your wife just left you.
