  • This video is a spindle build -- a spindle used as both a CNC lathe and 4th axis / indexer for the router.

    Super video. My daughter is home and listening over my shoulder. She teaches "G" code in high school shop. I told her that I am too old to learn because I am 73. After a good beating from her, I have changed my mind about a few things. 1, she is stronger than I. 2, I can do this., 3, the bruises will heal soon enough.

I bet at least 80% of the viewer/subs don't own or plan to own any machinist tools, but you make the information quite interesting and fun to watch. Who wants to watch 20 minutes on thread pitch analysis and sine bar fundamentals?...apparently over a million!

    I remember from my machine design class that having set screws 180 deg apart is actually weaker and more prone to loosening than having them 120 or even 60 degrees apart. I think this was in Shigley's iirc. May not apply since you're grabbing a flat, but still a random fact of the day!

    • @dimitar4y
      @dimitar4y 5 років тому +20

      True, since the screws are opposing eachother rather than working together; so all your holding power is solely on the threads, not by friction against a face.

    • @Gottenhimfella
      @Gottenhimfella 5 років тому +7

      Generally true, but there's one exception: if you use them (2 @ 180) to improve the holding of a self-holding taper, and incline the flats (and the screws) in the opposite direction from the flanks of the taper, so the vector sum of the two forces is a thrust axially, tightening the grip of the taper. The slightest slip will increase the tightening effect further still.
      I've only recently come up with that idea (needing to transmit a sh*t tonne of torque without much available space) and it worked a charm.
      The key difference is that tightening the screws, progressively and in turn, does not create or retain clearance as it would with a cylindrical fit.

    • @dimitar4y
      @dimitar4y 5 років тому

      @@Gottenhimfella Well, yes, if the screw is flat on it's pushy bit, it'll be useless. But if the screws point to eachother, but are off-center, and have little pyramid heads, they'll push the SIDES of the thread against the object for massive holding torque.

    • @Gottenhimfella
      @Gottenhimfella 5 років тому +2

      @@dimitar4y That's another way. Not quite as strong as flat-ended screws set at an angle, bearing on flat "whistle notches" milled across the shaft, because your solution provides only line contact between a conical screwpoint and a conical dimple. This means the material along this line will be displaced (by yielding) at a lower torque, leaving the joint vulnerable to reversing loads.

    I had a CNC teacher many years ago (40) that only had a Bridgeport CNC mill, but taught lathe programming using it by putting the stock in the collet and clamping the tool in the vise. In this manner, it was programmed just like any other CNC lathe - tool movement perpendicular to the center line was X, tool movement parallel to the centerline was Z. At that time it was all mostly manual programming (we did use a system/language called COMPACT II using a dial-up modem to a mainframe for some "CAM" type programming).

      I think the thing needs a 2:1 reduction planetary gearset. That would solve all the torque and locking problems and also reduce the need for removal of pants, as the lower speed will be less likely to cause unwanted evacuation.

    • @Ballba365
      @Ballba365 5 років тому +3

      Yes true for "lathe" ops. However, a flexible coupling would not be ideal when completing indexing ops as this would reduce the rigidity between the brake (motor holding position) and the part.

Your channel has given me some very serious inspiration as to what to do to start getting comfortable with more than just taking a simple skim cut or re establishing seat dimensions, i am going to start looking for a reasonable mini lathe where i can start to teach my self how to cut threads and turn parts from raw stock. You are really an inspiring guy tony so thank you for sharing your humor, skill, and insight.

    What are the chances of doing a video on a pneumatic brake for the new add-on? :) Maybe using it as a infinite precision dividing head, and solve the holding torque issue with that brake. Maybe even using a disc brake behind the chuck and a brake jaw to lock it. Would be a lot of fun + a handy tutorial for my next build :DDDDDD Awesome vid mate!

    • @j-man72b72

      Electromagnetic brake would also work well. Electromagnetic so the chips fall off when the power is off.
      A pneumatic/solenoid operated pipe strap?
      Obviously this all assumes the play can't be eliminated in settings or other hardware... Contacting the motor rep/help line and finding out if the motor is capable of holding position without any lash would be my first step.

      J-man72 b I think electromagnetic brakes have sort of like steps, they dont have infinite resolution so to say. They would rotate the spindle a few degrees towards that fixed position. Maybe there are EM brakes that dont have that issue but when i was looking around, all i found were these ones :/

    • @lukaradakovic5463
      @lukaradakovic5463 5 років тому

      Andrew Delashaw Not sure now if it was a stepper or an AC servo anymore, but either way, locking itself in would be a much more reliable feature than depending on the motor to hold on for dear life :D

      @@lukaradakovic5463 I like your disc brake idea, myself. It would need to be carefully engineered not to disturb the rotary location when actuated. This would allow the motor to be optimised for horsepower rather than holding force. I wonder if an encoder could be used to enhance positional accuracy?

    Have you considered, say, an electromagnetic brake (steal the clutch off an automotive AC compressor?) to get rid of that last bit of play? Would be a good upgrade option for higher spindle speeds without needing as much holding force, if you ever find yourself contemplating a different motor that is.

Also anyone who may have a worn out lead screw on they're Craftsman lathe.... ( mostly due to it's dual purpose of threads and feed ) I removed mine, flipped it 180 degrees, machined the drive end to fit the old tail end brass bushing, and made a sleeve for the drive end!!! Turns threads like new now.... No need to buy or build a new lead screw!!

      ​@@williamchamberlain2263 That's going back a long long way. From about WW2 era, acetates were used. Live recordings could be (and in boutique studios, for maximum fidelity, still are) mixed straight to a recording lathe, on which a master disc was cut. Also known as an acetate, but it was basically a layer of special lacquer on an aluminium base. More usually, the mix would be captured on magnetic tape, possibly multi-track, allowing subsequent tweaks. This could then be output as analogue signal to the toolpost of a lathe, cut to an "acetate", which was plated with metal, then used to make negative metal molds or "stamper", which in turn would stamp vinyl copies in large quantities.
      The acetate itself could be played (with very high fidelity) on a standard turntable, tone arm and stylus, but would not last long.
