Congratulations again on your subscriber milestone! Be well, be safe, and take good care from here in the Allegheny National Forest in Northwestern Pennsylvania.
I spotted the dial indicator on your cross slide so I assume that is the cheapie lathe rebuild project. My 80 year old lathe has a very worn cross slide and I’m planning on truing it up on my mill. Any nuggets you might have to share on the topic will be thankfully received :)
The problem I'm aiming to fix there is that the whole saddle isn't level, so the bevel angle doesn't match the bed. First step is to measure how out-of-level it is, work out a way to fix, then do the fine adjustment so the saddle is a perfect fit for the bed profile.
I have two diamond wheels now, thankfully with the same centre diameter, so they fit on the same arbor. It'll be a couple of videos before I upload something about that, but I'm already making great use of the wheels on brazed carbide lathe tools and mill boring bars.
The first thing I recommend to any new owner is to buy a quick change tool post. The Proxxon one is fine, but the Machifit OXA style post I reviewed recently is probably better, and quite a bit cheaper, so definitely worth a try. The downside of the Machifit is that you'd need to make yourself a custom stud to fit it to the lathe, which might be a tricky project for a beginner.
Adventures with a Very Small Lathe thanks for the tip. It is already on my wish List. Followed by the proxxon hard metal bits (with removable points). In relation to the mill I have bought a MF 70 but I found it to weak and it does not take 6mm tools, so I am changing for a decent chinese mini mil. The only con is that it weights 60kg!!!
Every commenter (so far) are such gracious losers! OK, let's go with the flow...congratulations to the winner! So here I am looking at my "Carbon Fibre Composite" digital calipers and realise that my 6th. grade ruler is probably as accurate and doesn't require battery replacement every couple of months. Sob story over, what an absolutely fabulous channel - thanks Adventures with a Very Small Lathe!
Congrats to the winner!!
Some interesting looking projects coming up. Can’t wait.
Congrats to the winner and thank you tiny lathe guy for being awesome!
Congratulations to the winner.
Excited to see more of your videos on your lathe

Поздравляю!)
Congrats Lancer!
The diamond grinding wheel looks interesting. I picked up one, like to see you go with it.
Cheers

congrats to the winner :D
Thanks for sharing!
I would like a video on all of them....Please!
Chinese mini lathe update gets my vote... for next video.
The very next video will be my entry for Emma's Spareroom Machineshop toolmaking competition, but the one after that will be on the Chinese lathe.
@@AdventureswithaVerySmallLathe I'll look forward to both of them...
Congratulations! Awesome prize from an awesome channel.
Thanks for the video. Keep safe and stay well.
Congrats dude!
Something about gibs or ways in there, looks interesting.
Congratulations Lanser1964!
Hi. I would like to see a complete review of the mini lathe and all the acessories you have/suggest.
Have just purchased the proxxon lathe because of your channel kkk. What should i buy for it?
