Nice to see a young man using practical skills i learnt in my first ever job and have never forgotten. despite it ending 20 years ago after 13 years in the trade.
Remarkable... May not be the absolute best small lathe a person can have in their workshop BUT it does what it has to and makes so many more projects withing reach without having to go to expensive machine shops to get a part made... AND they are not open at nights or on the weekend 😇
I am enjoying this!! Says someone with 6 lathes and 2 mills. BUT my first lathe was a school project which led to a Degree in 3 D Design. A life teaching 3 D Design... And now making model Steam Locomotives. Yes I still use the home made Lathe with slipping belt clutch. Lots of love David and Lily.
But why did you not have the heart to tell him what he did wrong? Did you maybe figure that he learned what he did wrong in the process? It's great that he accomplished this but I don't know for sure that he does know the important differences between this and one that wouldn't require hammering a bearing on as we saw. Looks like that bearing didn't turn so well either after he did that. What would you say ...+/- .002" repeatability & accuracy? I haven't made my own but I have rebuilt a little Smithy (Midas) 1220-xl except for the gearbox. Fortunately, the gearbox was sealed and hadn't been contaminated with sand rust like everything else. I'm just glad I went to school, watched 1000+ hours of videos and read up extensively, on the subjects I needed to know to make the thing chooch. The one thing I didn't realize though, was that the main reason my teachers were telling me not to get a mill/lathe combo was because they are horribly inefficient when you need to go from milling to turning or vice versa. The two just interfere with each other to much so If I gotta turn anything larger than 2.5" dia. the vice either has to come off or I have to position the vice far to one side so I have to take the work out of the vice & turn it around to mill the other side, just as one example. Maybe he could make some modification to get some preloading. ...?
I am from Brazil, my friend you are a true genius, I really want to get a lathe and you just made a perfect one, congratulations you are a real genius!
You know the moment I have a home with a shed to work in, I'm coming back to this video among others. This beast is one item too big to move between the laundry alcove and the outside workbench daily.
Nice work. I was a little concerned about the precision of the measurements lining up the guide rods and such, but looks like it came out okay. One thing - get in the habit of *never* leaving the chuck key in the chuck unless your hand is on it, or one day, you *will* eat it when you forget and turn on the motor.
Excellent project. I applaud your effort and the end result. If you find you have rigidity issues, you may wish to consider a larger diameter main spindle shaft and possibly tapered bearings to eliminate end play. Also, maybe I missed it, take the chuck off that backing plate and face the plate so you know its true to the shaft, then re-assemble the chuck to it.. Welding has a way of making things move a bit. Thumbs up from me.
just here to upvote facing the backplate, no reason why you shouldn't eliminate as much cause of error as you can, this will help you hold a better tolerance and make your parts run a bit more true. Facing the back plate and getting some tapered roller bearings the chuck would go a long way, this DIY late should make some great parts after some upgrades.
Inspirerande!!!!!!. Tack för att du delade länkar till var man får tag på allt man behöver!!!!.Jag kommer att bygga en liknande som din men lite större och med lite andra möjligheter. Men grund idén blir nästan exakt likadan. Tack igen!!!!!!.

Парень молодец но не рентабельно ,столько затрат а в итоге качество обработки кустарное ,с такой точностью ,даже лучше можно обработать деталь болгаркой и напильником доработать .Если знаешь способ.Не нужно заморачиваться с такой сложной конструкцией .
1) the chuck shaft should be 1st aligned with the lathe ways by putting a long straight shaft in the 3 bearings and check the alignment with a micrometer held on the carriage (using a magnet holder for ex) and moved along the ways. Alignemnt of the chuchk shaft can be modified using the adjusment screws on the 3 bearings. 2) the chuck backplate should be then turned on the lathe so that the ridge that goes in the chuck is concentric with the chuck shaft, only then should the backplate be drilled.
Very clever use of already fabricated parts! The ways and carriage are super hard to make, but your method simplifies the whole process, and could certainly be scaled up!
For a light duty* DIY home workshop lathe, using linear rails is a reasonably workable idea. The 20mm ones he's got are pretty strong, and have a useful amount of mass to them to help prevent tool chatter. Where they fall down though is there's hardly any designs of bearing blocks that have a way to adjust for wear on them. Once there's play in them you can't just tighten up gib screws or resurface the ways. I suppose if you're careful about the bolt hole positioning when building it you could turn the rails around and use the less worn ends to get a bit more life out of them, But you'll probabbly still need to buy new bearing blocks. (*By "Light duty" I mean one that's not used 24/7. If well thought out and constructed I'd think a DIY lathe made using linear rails would probably handle more strain and stay accurate longer than one with traditional dove tail ways, It's just that when it DOES show signs of wear there's not a lot you can do to sort it out other than replacing some pretty expensive hardware.)
@@needdamemes2757 There is also issue of chips and metal dust getting into bearing blocks, ruining them real fast if not protected. There should some accessory parts to those blocks witch try prevent this from happening, but its not perfect solution and as mentioned just little wear and those are next to useless, ending up just wrecking havoc to inserts and surface finish. Its same effect that happened with my DIY mill, from cheap drillpress, cheap cross feed table and rather expensive tooling that got ruined every time it bumped. Tried it in "vertical lathe" setup but similar thing happened. Then again his pillow bearing blocks wont be that accurate anyways, so this is well suited for occasional bushing adapter or such work, but any proper machining tolerances you can forget, though this is lots sturdier than cheap chinese lathes on the market, so with little design chances like cup bearing in the axle to center it properly, replacing threaded rod with machine screw with suitable slack removal like two nuts with strong spring between and building some protection for the ways, sure this will be much cheaper and does what it was designed to do.
That's really great Man; because you don't have to use other very expensive equipment to fabricate this metal lathe which is very reasonable and economical, that is the best bargain for the hobbyists. I have watched many interesting videos about making a metal lathe, but till now ( April 2024 ) this is far the very best. You do it the simplest way with all the necessary measurement and calibration. Congratulations and thanks a million for this uploading bro. I just liked and subscribed and would ask all those who have watched this video to like and subscribe. Thanks again, and I wish you all the best. Keep it up.
Great work just as a point for the future, instead of using a solid roundbar for the head shaft use a 3mm or bigger walled pipe, this will allow you to turn longer projects that run through the pipe, but this would mean you will have to replace those head bearings as well for bigger units and resleaving the main pully. Good luck and I like this build.
The problem is finding such a tube. Show a URL where it can be purchased please along with the correct bearing to also fit. Otherwise it's not helpful at all. It's just criticism not helping

Very smart fellow and did any negative posts build one before breakfast today, I didn't think so. Great job mate, Cheers from Iron Rock, nova Scotia, Canada.
Great job of building a lathe! I like people who do the things where others say "it can't be done". And you seem to be a master of it! Thanks for sharing the video!
Good job, buddy! It seems to me that some changes will be necessary in the future, but the machine for now working well :) I was planning on making a similar machine for several months, but you were faster than me: D
Thanks bro. Your always making projects faster than me i always plan to build similar projects of yours but you were always posting it first. You are in the level of make it extreme bro im so proud of you :)
Muy buen trabajo, eres un chingón, precisamente estoy necesitando una herramienta para rebajar una parte de unas tuercas, actualmente las mando rebajar al torno pero me cobran muy caro y había pensado precisamente en hacer uno sencillo como este que acabas de hacer, me gustó mucho, me has completado la idea y confirmado que sí se puede. Muchas gracias por compartir y saludos desde León Guanajuato México.
Well done. For those who say not good things, where is yours? Haha, I see the concept is fine. I know you will continue to improve you machine. Again well done
@@jokamwellington4806 yes, pillow blocks there being used to support the shaft - the spindle - having more than two will almost always induce runout and cause unnecessary wear without really being any more stable or rigid. If you need stable and rigid, self centering pillow blocks aren't really the thing to use, tapered roller bearings in fitted castings tend to be the most rigid & precise.
I wish you don't mind if I give you some constructive comments: 1. The chuck is the last thing you should mount on the lathe. Weld the flange for the chuck on the shaft at first. Then you can lathe the flange to fit on the chuck that will be perfectly centered. Welding afterwards makes changes to the metal. 2. You don't need three bearings in line, not on the slide rails neither the short spindle shaft. The middle bearing is practically unnecessary.
Great job overall, but i have always understood that you never use 3 bearings on a relatively short stiff shaft because they 'fight against' each other and produce vibration and wear out! You should just use two bearings on the lathe spindle. The front one , supporting the chuck, should be the biggest and most robust, eg a roller bearing. The rear one can be a big deep groove ball bearing, to withstand end thrust. Likewise, the linear ball bearings on the saddle and cross-slide should only be in pairs and not threes when spaced close, because it will cause rocking.
I love it! I would suggest using a different motor which allows speed variation. The smaller the diameter of the piece of metal your turning, the more RPM you need. Maybe one of a bigger hand drill would be a good choice, since these motors are usually electronically controlled.
The problem is PWM and you will lose torque. Better is to calculate a 'gearbox' with different wheels and put the belt on a different wheel to change the speed.
I love a man who knows how to improvise, and I love the rooster in the background, reminds me of my grandmother's house when I was a child. If there is a super CME that takes out all our utilities and electronics, guys with roosters in the background are going to be the only ones surviving.
Holy crap someone actually does this. Every diy lathe video I see, one of the first tools they use? A lathe. Well if I had a lathe I wouldn't need to build one, would I? Lol.
Extremely impressive build given the few simple tools you used. But be very careful when using that machine. Only the spinning momentum of that little chuck will surprise you if you give it as much as a chance. Even heavy factory built precision lathes can behave a bit unpredictably at times depending on the work. Please keep all of your fingers, you will need them for future projects. =)
Too much sideway torque forces exerted on the Chuck you reckon as well as the metal hardness being worked on and RPM settings....on that machine seems to be only one speed setting..
Thank you so much. I was looking to improvise lathe flange i didn't know how to do it, but that first chucking shaft and then welding is really great idea to centre it! Thanks!
That's very nice considering what you had to work with. Chucks always have a precision shoulder on the back to align the mandrel with the chuck. You should face the backplate without the chuck and machine the male shoulder on it. The diameter have to be as precise as possible compared to the inner diameter in the back of the chuck so the alignment will be precise too. This should give a good alignment on the jaw of the chuck then you can get a nice reference round bar, put it on the chuck and align the carriages to the rotation axis by putting a micrometer on the carriage and moving it up and down and see/fix the error. But I understand that this was more of a proof of concept. Nice work.

You should have built the main shaft and bearing supports from something solid like a couple of matching vehicle driveshaft assemblies which have mighty bearing holders. Upgrade to at least a 3hp motor. Set up coolant feed using an old oil pump with filter. Set up an emergency stop switch and electromagnetic brake coupling. Let her rip!
Excelente eres un genio siempre sigo sus proyectos aunque no sea del mismo idioma pero lo que construye abla por si solo gracias felicitaciones dios lo bendiga saludos
Your vibration could be reduced by increasing your flywheel effect maybe by adding weight to the headstock drive pulley, this looks like Alluminium, steel might help or a custom made heavier
looks about the same precision as a $500.00 Chinese mini lathe although it needs dials so ya know what your taking off your parts. not something i would use but if it gets the job done ya need thats all that matter and kuddos for taking a pile of scrap and making a usable tool out of it ,it was fun to watch thanks for sharing
Things to do. Make a carriage stop to lock the carriage so it can't move along the bed when doing facing cuts. Next, remove the chuck and face its mounting plate, then cut a register step so that the chuck will be concentric without having to use a hammer. That will also ensure it can't slip. After those projects, use the lathe to make some bearings for the leadscrews. Then go on to fabricate a gear drive between the spindle and lead screw, at least for power feed. Thread cutting needs exact ratios between spindle and lead screw.
There are people who complain......then, there are people who ain’t got time to complain BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO BUSY MAKING PROGRESS ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Proper lathes dont use ball screws, they use Acme lead screws. Ball screws are a terrible idea on a lathe because they are easily moved from the non feed end. A proper lead screw wont allow the work and tool interaction to reverse the feed. Ball screws basically mandate servos because of this, imagine trying to face a part but every time the tool meets a high spot it pushes slide or carriage back....
Tooling angle is slightly high, and too close to 90° to the cutting surface for me. Add some relief by using a tooling block with a radius cut on one side. Should take care of both issues. How accurate is the bed, and do you plan a tail stock? Nice build, btw!
I can't imagine it being to accurate being the cross slide was installed using a square. However with a dial indicator he may have enough play in the bolt holes to bring it in. Same thing for the the rails on the bed way he could adjust the spindle bearings to be parallel. I cant see this being as good as what you can get for $600 - $700 in a mini. It might have a bit more swing but would take a lot to get it dialed in. But I give him props for building it anyway. I might have to see if he has a video with it dialed in any better. You are very correct about the angle of the tool. I wish him the best of luck.
Wonder if like me, this guy just can't help himself when it comes to making stuff. I have a CNC machine I made that rivals almost all commercial models in overall size and accuracy. Uses precision servos and ball screws yet cost me less than $2000 overall. I'm now in the process of finishing another even much larger CNC that uses mainly 11ga formed steel as base frame for all three axis that will be universal. It's a water jet cutter, laser engraver/cutter/ router with 3hp water cooled spindle as well as plasma table with torch height control. I have less than $3000 invested and I'm about %90 completed. I'll be selling detailed plans for this machine soon. I have a 5' x 10' plasma table in the other shop that inspired me to do this one. So yes. I really like building machines of all type. Been doing proto type design and build for clients now for 30 years and it's just in my blood I suppose.
Sounds rather fishy to me. Sure you can build stuff on the cheap. But good ball screws and servos are not cheap. Not to mention the stuff required to drive them. Seems a rather bold claim to "rival almost all commercial models in overall size and accuracy" for under $2000. Having said that, if you're not using excessive amounts of hyperbole, I too would be interested in the plans.
You just built a machining lathe (that at least gets the job done) from 90% scrap! That is incredible! Bravo!

Very smart fellow and did any negative posts build one before breakfast today, I didn't think so.
Great job mate, Cheers from Iron Rock, nova Scotia, Canada.
Now, you have a lathe! Congratulations!!! You can make improvements as you go along.
Gagaling ng pinoy DIY UA-camrs! 👍👍
Great job of building a lathe! I like people who do the things where others say "it can't be done". And you seem to be a master of it! Thanks for sharing the video!
An encouragement for others to follow your compassion and ambition
Good job, buddy! It seems to me that some changes will be necessary in the future, but the machine for now working well :)
I was planning on making a similar machine for several months, but you were faster than me: D
Thanks bro. Your always making projects faster than me i always plan to build similar projects of yours but you were always posting it first. You are in the level of make it extreme bro im so proud of you :)
Next step a drill mill
Надеюсь ты сделаешь лучше.
Made in Poland I can’t wait to see yours too man. You do incredible work.
I have a feeling you will do a far better job.
Well done, a home made lathe is better than no lathe. All that matters is it does its job.
The easiest to build. Grade 1000.
A mais fácil de ser construída. Nota 1000
Muy buen trabajo, eres un chingón, precisamente estoy necesitando una herramienta para rebajar una parte de unas tuercas, actualmente las mando rebajar al torno pero me cobran muy caro y había pensado precisamente en hacer uno sencillo como este que acabas de hacer, me gustó mucho, me has completado la idea y confirmado que sí se puede. Muchas gracias por compartir y saludos desde León Guanajuato México.
Well done. For those who say not good things, where is yours? Haha, I see the concept is fine. I know you will continue to improve you machine. Again well done
Thanks bro.

Good job, my friend!! From the best creators on UA-cam !!
use just two spindle bearings - having three will cause all three to wear out very quickly. two bearings will last longer & is more accurate
Hi. Just curious. What spindle bearing u talking about ? Is that pillow block you mean? Thanks
@@jokamwellington4806 yes, pillow blocks there being used to support the shaft - the spindle - having more than two will almost always induce runout and cause unnecessary wear without really being any more stable or rigid. If you need stable and rigid, self centering pillow blocks aren't really the thing to use, tapered roller bearings in fitted castings tend to be the most rigid & precise.
I wish you don't mind if I give you some constructive comments:
1. The chuck is the last thing you should mount on the lathe. Weld the flange for the chuck on the shaft at first. Then you can lathe the flange to fit on the chuck that will be perfectly centered. Welding afterwards makes changes to the metal.
2. You don't need three bearings in line, not on the slide rails neither the short spindle shaft. The middle bearing is practically unnecessary.
Great job overall, but i have always understood that you never use 3 bearings on a relatively short stiff shaft because they 'fight against' each other and produce vibration and wear out! You should just use two bearings on the lathe spindle. The front one , supporting the chuck, should be the biggest and most robust, eg a roller bearing. The rear one can be a big deep groove ball bearing, to withstand end thrust. Likewise, the linear ball bearings on the saddle and cross-slide should only be in pairs and not threes when spaced close, because it will cause rocking.
@Raul mechanics yes taper roller bearings will cope with radial load and thrust much better, intact that's exactly what they are designed for.
I love the fact that there is no music! Good work!
Wow, this is amazing! Is a great video. Congratulations from Brazil.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
I love it! I would suggest using a different motor which allows speed variation. The smaller the diameter of the piece of metal your turning, the more RPM you need. Maybe one of a bigger hand drill would be a good choice, since these motors are usually electronically controlled.

The problem is PWM and you will lose torque. Better is to calculate a 'gearbox' with different wheels and put the belt on a different wheel to change the speed.
the best I've seen so far as home made is outstanding 💯
Hola, es admirable lo que has logrado con pocas herramientas y con un resultado excelente, felicitaciones desde Uruguay.

I love a man who knows how to improvise, and I love the rooster in the background, reminds me of my grandmother's house when I was a child. If there is a super CME that takes out all our utilities and electronics, guys with roosters in the background are going to be the only ones surviving.
Pretty good job. Amazing what people can do if you set your mind to it. Try and take out the minor play for a more accurate cut.
This lathe is better than no lathe at all. I'll try mine, just at the right time.
You are simply amazing. Keep it up! I am learning a lot from you!
Good for you bro. Goodluck :)
Sek Austria Thankyou so much. Good luck to you too bro!
Holy crap someone actually does this. Every diy lathe video I see, one of the first tools they use? A lathe. Well if I had a lathe I wouldn't need to build one, would I? Lol.
Extremely impressive build given the few simple tools you used. But be very careful when using that machine. Only the spinning momentum of that little chuck will surprise you if you give it as much as a chance. Even heavy factory built precision lathes can behave a bit unpredictably at times depending on the work. Please keep all of your fingers, you will need them for future projects. =)
Too much sideway torque forces exerted on the Chuck you reckon as well as the metal hardness being worked on and RPM settings....on that machine seems to be only one speed setting..
Thank you so much. I was looking to improvise lathe flange i didn't know how to do it, but that first chucking shaft and then welding is really great idea to centre it! Thanks!
That's very nice considering what you had to work with.
Chucks always have a precision shoulder on the back to align the mandrel with the chuck. You should face the backplate without the chuck and machine the male shoulder on it. The diameter have to be as precise as possible compared to the inner diameter in the back of the chuck so the alignment will be precise too.
This should give a good alignment on the jaw of the chuck then you can get a nice reference round bar, put it on the chuck and align the carriages to the rotation axis by putting a micrometer on the carriage and moving it up and down and see/fix the error.
But I understand that this was more of a proof of concept. Nice work.

Good start. Now I want to see a gearbox, a feed screw, and some kind of measurement markings!
it is a bit wobbly but for being made at home with a hacksaw made of rebar you got fantastic results. Kudos!
You should have built the main shaft and bearing supports from something solid like a couple of matching vehicle driveshaft assemblies which have mighty bearing holders. Upgrade to at least a 3hp motor. Set up coolant feed using an old oil pump with filter. Set up an emergency stop switch and electromagnetic brake coupling. Let her rip!
Well said bro. I think there will be a part two of this project thanks for the suggestion bro :)
nice video very informative. subukan ko din gumawa nito for addition on my small workshop. 😁
When you return with the cutting tool after making a cut, you should move it away from the material. You'll get a better surface finish :)
If accuracy wasn't a real concern in Machining, I'd say this is an Excellent Build... Still it's inspiring 👍👍👍
Excelente eres un genio siempre sigo sus proyectos aunque no sea del mismo idioma pero lo que construye abla por si solo gracias felicitaciones dios lo bendiga saludos
Awesome job! I watch the entire video without skipping. Real ingenious
Your vibration could be reduced by increasing your flywheel effect maybe by adding weight to the headstock drive pulley, this looks like Alluminium, steel might help or a custom made heavier
Saya akan buat mesin seperti ini.
Good luck Mr.
looks about the same precision as a $500.00 Chinese mini lathe although it needs dials so ya know what your taking off your parts. not something i would use but if it gets the job done ya need thats all that matter and kuddos for taking a pile of scrap and making a usable tool out of it ,it was fun to watch thanks for sharing
Chaina ke gand me ghuja
It is $400 Phillipino lathe :)
Things to do. Make a carriage stop to lock the carriage so it can't move along the bed when doing facing cuts. Next, remove the chuck and face its mounting plate, then cut a register step so that the chuck will be concentric without having to use a hammer. That will also ensure it can't slip. After those projects, use the lathe to make some bearings for the leadscrews. Then go on to fabricate a gear drive between the spindle and lead screw, at least for power feed. Thread cutting needs exact ratios between spindle and lead screw.
Good. But we need thrust bearing pads, because you will have axial play. Always having an inaccurate result.
There are people who complain......then, there are people who ain’t got time to complain BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO BUSY MAKING PROGRESS ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Chicken or egg springs to mind you need a lathe to make lathe or so.Great job!!!!

Hammering on your bearings to center punch holes? Mark the holes and move the plate to the bench.
Great ideas and ability. I had an uncle like that, he could build first class labor saving machines out of old auto parts.
Replace the threaded rod with ball screw with respective parts and it will work like a proper lathe... Add servos and you have a CNC
Muito bom
Proper lathes dont use ball screws, they use Acme lead screws. Ball screws are a terrible idea on a lathe because they are easily moved from the non feed end. A proper lead screw wont allow the work and tool interaction to reverse the feed.
Ball screws basically mandate servos because of this, imagine trying to face a part but every time the tool meets a high spot it pushes slide or carriage back....
The Videos are very Educational n productive n it's easy to follow n learn from them
Tooling angle is slightly high, and too close to 90° to the cutting surface for me. Add some relief by using a tooling block with a radius cut on one side. Should take care of both issues. How accurate is the bed, and do you plan a tail stock? Nice build, btw!
I can't imagine it being to accurate being the cross slide was installed using a square. However with a dial indicator he may have enough play in the bolt holes to bring it in. Same thing for the the rails on the bed way he could adjust the spindle bearings to be parallel. I cant see this being as good as what you can get for $600 - $700 in a mini. It might have a bit more swing but would take a lot to get it dialed in. But I give him props for building it anyway. I might have to see if he has a video with it dialed in any better. You are very correct about the angle of the tool. I wish him the best of luck.

Wonder if like me, this guy just can't help himself when it comes to making stuff.
I have a CNC machine I made that rivals almost all commercial models in overall size and accuracy.
Uses precision servos and ball screws yet cost me less than $2000 overall.
I'm now in the process of finishing another even much larger CNC that uses mainly 11ga formed steel as base frame for all three axis that will be universal. It's a water jet cutter, laser engraver/cutter/ router with 3hp water cooled spindle as well as plasma table with torch height control. I have less than $3000 invested and I'm about %90 completed.
I'll be selling detailed plans for this machine soon.
I have a 5' x 10' plasma table in the other shop that inspired me to do this one.
So yes. I really like building machines of all type.
Been doing proto type design and build for clients now for 30 years and it's just in my blood I suppose.
hey Larry....your plans sound interesting. where will you be selling them and how much?
Sounds rather fishy to me. Sure you can build stuff on the cheap. But good ball screws and servos are not cheap. Not to mention the stuff required to drive them. Seems a rather bold claim to "rival almost all commercial models in overall size and accuracy" for under $2000. Having said that, if you're not using excessive amounts of hyperbole, I too would be interested in the plans.
