Looks like you've started from nothing but now have working machines. That is impressive. I saw you included footage of parting off steel, too, which is a good test for rigidity. The sound it makes shows that there is still opportunity to improve. It's hard to know what causes vibration. Sometimes it is something small. I'm working on a 9x20 lathe at the moment, trying to make it more rigid. One trick is to put an indicator on a part and try to move it with your hands or pry bar. Something as simple as bolting the machine to a bench can make a huge difference.

@@a-cnc-f did you use a cross slide from a cheap minilathe? Most of the time, they are terrible. Al riser blocks under the spindle aren't the best solution either. Otherwise, it's a nice build. I like the base and the use of guideways.
I have thought about it. The problem is that I don't have good machine to make it. I have a 5-axis CNC machine that I built myself, but the machine size is small and it is not strong and powerful enough to do high precision machining.
I actually see someone lapping and attempting to do this right. . Ive been watching videos amazed how many don’t. You are the first.

its pretty cool. If you ever build another you can get granite reference surfaces which can be grade A from many sites, even amazon for fairly cheap. They make a great starting point for a rigit lathe or mill. If you can I'd switch out the risers for the chuck with cast iron. There is also rubberized epoxy you can put between the riser and the bed as well as the riser and the chuck to dampen sound and keep the bolts from vibrating loose.

So far, no problems. I don't use it that often to begin with. And I don't have the power to do that much heavy cutting, so it's not enough to break me. For now.
Fantastic work! Truly awesome achievement . . . well done my friend! Wonderful to see this. And the video is excellent, really fun. Wishing you good luck in the future!
Epoxy granite has long been used as a substitute for casting castings. It should be strong enough. In fact, after building this CNC lathe, I have no complaints about the epoxy granite base.
Be interested to know what the red cast block was? You have sandpaper glue to it? Awesome build but I question the linear rails you went with look like they are for low load linear motion like 3d printing?
Why would you? With the right speed and feed settings, and with the right cutting tool profile It would do the job easily if its rigid enough. From the video, the feed and the profile is pretty off in my opinion.
@@dokmetasonur The forces seems to be the same to me. In normal position the knife is pushed down to a muc more stable surface the some screws. I never used it upside down tho, only other knifes and only for speed.
I missed your comment, sorry. The machining conditions for grooving are difficult. I will put out a video of machining with the tool mounted the other way around in my next video.
That's awesome! How did you collect so many skills? How did they come together for machining? Curious to find out and exchange background history. Subscribed and hooked. TY
great work, but sadly... mild steel and aluminium will never quite match solid cast iron. i was holding the edge of my seat watching that parting blade. really seems there would be a market for a basic 4 axis mill/lathe combo. in cast iron. with a bit more meat behind it than the average sieg...
Totally awesome dood! I have been looking at my old lathe and my pile of Cnc parts and wondering if i should build a new Cnc lathe. I think i will now! Love the resin base. Looked like it struggled a bit with parting off, id be interested to know if and how you have overcome this. Did you do the tool changer and live tools?
My focus is on making the machine smaller. I am thinking about tool changer and milling, but that is my next project. Currently, I am working on a new 5-axis CNC machine. Once this is finished, I believe I should be able to easily make advanced parts with it. So I'm thinking of further modifying the CNC lathe.
Real awesome freak, I just subscribed. Good work. I would suspect the main lathe axial bearing part isn't rigid enough. Would love to see your new works soon.
Kleinigkeiten, Die in meinen Augen eine Verbesserung darstellen würden: -Der Motor für den Ober-Support liegt genau im Späne-Regen - auf der anderen Seite angebracht sollte Dieser weniger ab bekommen. -Endschalter besser 'überfahrbar' montieren - damit die Achse am Endschalter vorbei fahren kann - und nicht den Endschalter zerquetscht, wenn's doch Mal blöder läuft. ... hehe ... 10 Sekunden später ... der Endschalter IST überfahrbar (zumindest der Eine - ich schaue weiter) -Verlöten der Litze: Bei dieser Art Klemme sollte Das kein Problem darstellen (federbelastet) - bei Schraubklemmen wäre Das aber ein 'no-go' - das Lot fließt unter dem Druck der Schraube langsam weg und der Kontakt wird schlechter - bei Schraubklemmen Aderendhülsen (könnten entfallen, wenn die Schraube nicht direkt auf die Ader drückt, also z.B. bei Aufzug-Klemmen - schaden aber auch dort nicht - die paar Cent sollte einem die Sache wert sein). -Die Drehzahl-Anzeige könnte man von den Ansteuerungs-Signalen ableiten - wäre dann auch genauer/schneller reagierend, als bei Aktualisierung 1x/Umdrehung Alles in Allem respektable Arbeit und ich bekomme wieder Lust, meinen Versuch ebenfalls wieder Leben einzuhauchen (Grundplatte ist ein schwerer Tisch mit Führungen drauf - achja, Portal-Fräse bei mir ... vll. ... irgendwann ... :) )
Hätte es nicht besser beschreiben können 😄 Vllt wäre noch die gesamte Stabilität der Konstruktion zu bemängeln - siehe Zerspanung am Ende des Videos. Sehr viel Optimierungspotential, aber im ganzen eine solide Idee für sowas. Mich wunderts dass dein Kommentar von den ganzen begeisterten noch nicht zerpflückt wurde 😂 denn es heißt ja oft „die Deutschen können nichts loben - immer nur meckern“ 🤣 Man hat da wohl einfach andere Standards als andere Nationen 😅
Thanks for all the advice. I was very worried about the placement of the stepper motor on the X axis. One of the most important aspects of this lathe for me is the small size. I have imagined that it would come down to the cutting tip motor, but in terms of miniaturization I thought this was the best placement. I will act on your opinion regarding the switch. I am glad if you felt something when you watched my video.

Oh and i love the tune too!
As always, another cool machine. :) I'd prefer to hear the sounds made during construction. The music, eh, not needed.
It ruins the entire video basically. Pity.
Duuuuude! It's awesome! Great work! Guide accuracy is incredible.
This is such a mind-blowing build to me. Amazing work!
Good Job , Seeing The surface finish i can say the rigidity has to be improved a lot. Good Luck

you are a legend dude
Awesome setlist too... Fire
Brawo !
I am honored to be appreciated by a great youtuber like you.
Superb 🤩
not the music. the machine is awsome
That sound at the end when parting is so familiar... Just not enought stiffness for such a small gadget, I guess.
Very cool!!!
Bravo
Great Job man!👌 Congrats to this build👌
Thanks

Dude is kind of a genius then he starts to lathe with a drillbit. :D
That's incredible
one year later
are those linear rails still working?
what would you do different?
So far, no problems.
I don't use it that often to begin with.
And I don't have the power to do that much heavy cutting, so it's not enough to break me.
For now.
Great job! I'm now inspired to do something similar with a steel CNC milling machine for metal. Huge thanks for the experience!
nice toy

Very cool project. I like the creative use of the "tool" für vibrating the air out of the resin. But the "music" ist totally annoying
Fantastic job. The epoxy granite should be plenty rigid enough?

Where is the other half of the machine? The rest of the bed and ways, the tailstock, steady or follower rest, etc...
Those have not been made yet.
@a-cnc-f Ohh nice! At least a tailstock would be very helpful, the rest might be overkill. Nice machine, great job!
Круто 👍
Very cool! Looks like you have a lack of rigidity, probably due to the belts, any plan to change to screws?
thr belts is used for miniaturization and sound deadening. There are no plans to change this at this time.
This is brilliant! Subbed here.
Be interested to know what the red cast block was? You have sandpaper glue to it? Awesome build but I question the linear rails you went with look like they are for low load linear motion like 3d printing?
Thanks.
Certainly, linear guides are not designed for high loads.
Did you try to turn the cutter upside down for parting operations?
I have never tried it.
But I will give it a try. Thank you.
Thank you.
Why would you? With the right speed and feed settings, and with the right cutting tool profile It would do the job easily if its rigid enough. From the video, the feed and the profile is pretty off in my opinion.
@Thom if the lathe is not strong enough for parting, cutting upside down is better. When the machine flexes, tool doesn't pull into the workpiece.
@@dokmetasonur The forces seems to be the same to me. In normal position the knife is pushed down to a muc more stable surface the some screws. I never used it upside down tho, only other knifes and only for speed.

This is the result of researching each of the unknowns.
There are still many things I don't know.
great work, but sadly... mild steel and aluminium will never quite match solid cast iron.
i was holding the edge of my seat watching that parting blade.
really seems there would be a market for a basic 4 axis mill/lathe combo. in cast iron. with a bit more meat behind it than the average sieg...

Can this machine be used as a watchmaker lathe?
I think it can probably be done.

What's the grey filler you used in the epoxy?
yes.
An epoxy granite machine base can be made with epoxy, sand and gravel.
Awesome Job 😃
Only flaw is the base of epoxy. It is prone to resonance.
Epoxy granite is an excellent material for machine bases.

Wow
now do an EDM 😆they seem like such a no-brainer for cheap Chinese kits, no cutting force means they're basically a 3D printer in a tub
i still can't get passed the fact you are using what looks like a 2 flute flat endmill as a boring bar.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cooles Video, aber die Musik ist Horror. Like von mir. 😉
👍🏻
How much did this all cost to build?
I don't remember exactly, but I think it was about $1,000.
Best way to do parting is to cut in reverse so that your tool doesn't get pulled into the workpiece.
Best thing With UA-cam clip like this that you can turn off the sound. Musik whas painfull but the machin looks cool.little chatter tho
Sir may be you fixed your cnc leath auto tools changing system then work for better. 😅
I installed a quick tool changer because an auto tool changer would complicate the system.
