Jeffrey Henderson | Drummond 1900s Lathe 27 Speed Digital Motor Conversion Part 1 (Exercise Machine)

Hi all,
In this video, I continue from the short introduction I give on this small lathe back in the summer. Here I demonstrate stripping the exercise vibrating machine and show how I plan to utilise its digital components for my small lathe for improved speeds and variability.
Over the next few weeks, I will be continuing to add the motor plate’s sliding pivot/hinge to utilise the 3-stage pulley and in turn, giving us 3 extra mechanical gears. In total there will be 9 low range, 9 medium range and 9 high range all depending on where the v belt is placed before start-up. Giving us a large variability between 27 gears.
In short, I will be designing a quick linkage mechanism that allows me to switch between gears in an instant during workloads. Moreover, the self-feed will also be controlled via this small controllable DC motor.
Also, various other features (guard protectors) will be added to protect the user’s fingers from the high-speed gears with a customised stainless-steel enclosure for the exercise machine’s control panel. Moreover, a new stand with swivel castors will be fabricated up to allow ease of access and to aid mobility of the machine in my workplace.
Existing features will be kept, such as the large flywheel pulley even though it won’t be functioning no more. The entire lathe will be repainted using a tough enamel paint with a new additional quick change tool post vice clamp.
Please see Tony Griffiths article in the link below for a more detailed explanation of these small but incredible lathes. www.lathes.co.uk/drummond-flat...
I hope everyone enjoys.
Thank you,
Jeffrey
