    I´d recommend to use hgr Rails (atleast type 25 or 30) because they are way more stiffer and will reduce vibrations and smoothen the cutting action ( they are a little bit more expensive though but I think they are worth it , they often get used for extension arms on big machinery)

      Is there any way to tell if the rails that you're buying is actually genuine or just cheap junky knockoffs.

      ​@@karansingh1154 hey , visually no , but on aliexpress or amazon u often get the knockoffs (china imported ) but these are often good enough too, I recommend cleaning the roller bearing slides, the name brands that u find on more serious websites will cost u a lot more, but for a hobby machine the chinese guide rails are good enough , for the price of the name brands I would rather buy a real lathe ( in my area I could buy a lot of beautiful german/swiss made lathes but they are big and heavy and I have no workshop where I could savely put it in, but someday I will

    Nice lathe.
    Now get a variable speed motor and get it attached to your lead screw. Buy or make a half nut and attach to your carriage with a lever so it will engage and disengage. You’ll love the auto feed option when u want it and your finish turn will be ten times cleaner

      @@P.Trim69 dave gingery wrote a book series, lindsay books used to sell them, they're defunct now, but they most commonly were known for reprints of public domain stuff(often very weird stuff), they had a few originals though. the gingery metal shop series starts with the building of a charcoal forge(designed for 20lb flasks) and basics of sand casting leading through the construction of a complete metal working shop. machinist lathe, horizontal mill, shaper, drill press, attachments and custom tooling, cast aluminum pieces with steel fittings, easy to do in a shop that has basics like chisels and hacksaws.
      the series was followed by relevant others as well as some diy tool designs for other machines published by him and his son. you might find copies at your nearby library but it's more likely you'll have to pirate them to get any access. there are youtubers who are doing or have done videos on their attempts. in march when i hit 50 i might start my own attempt.

I wish we were neighbors...we could build some awesome stuff. I am starting a small engine repair welding/fabrication business . I am collecting all th 1800's equipment that I can that runs on belts. I want to run it on steam like they did back then , With belts from the ceiling. I guess I could do that with compressed air as well. though.kinf of like living history

    Friend, buy yourself a tap holder! It will make your life a lot easier when cutting threads...
    You decided to reduce the gap between the driven pulley and the headstock housing, but it was necessary to set the minimum clearance between the chuck faceplate and the headstock housing. But not everything is lost, it is also worth installing the front bearing from the inside as well and try to set the cartridge with a minimum clearance to the sheet of metal.
    As for bearings: Such bearings are not the best solution because they have backlash. That's why I gave up on them. You need to replace the bearings with tapered ones so that you can choose by tightening the nut
    axial and radial play.
    The spindle should immediately be made from a thick-walled pipe, since the absence of a through hole in the spindle axis seriously reduces the options for work.
    The spacer between the cross feed plate and the tool post should not be narrower than the tool post itself, this significantly weakens the design.
    And yes, such guides for CNC are rather weak and give large deviations under loads during metal processing.
    I don’t know which of what I wrote you will understand correctly since I had to use Google translator ...
    Greetings from Russia, and good luck with your machine building.
    P.s. The one who does nothing makes no mistakes...

      hollow axle tube, already machined true, got threads for bolting on pulleys and spacers, space for bearing races, shoulder already milled in for conical or angular contact bearings, bearings in that size common and cheap, can be cut off an old floating shaft truck axle, careful welding of a flange prevents distortion and a second one from the other side in case the first was screwed up, also... the diff can be used as the primary drive.

And probably the very hardest part getting the sucker to load up to UA-cam or download how yall tuber's do it. Lol😊. Not me. Not very computer savvy to begin with. So yeah it's hard work sitting here watching. He he.
    But really in all seriousness now thanks for talking the time to do these videos. I wish there was more on my end i could do beside comment,like,sub. But as it is here livin rough. Now get me wrong do have roof, windows, vehicle there all used when i got um, Nissan Altima is my sons and ole lady's mistake. Took over payments on it. trans on them junk but that's another story another time. Everything is right at limit of lifespan, or families been handed down (wore out when leaves this family no more handing it down). And finally at limit of being payment behind. Send a payment in and its due again in day or two. Lol. So if i could flip ya little support i would. Only keep watching, commenting, liking. (Ha ha) right now at time typing using WiFi data and calling on my phone lol as it shut off midnight 1st or about 1am on 2nd.
    Oh well not starving, grandbaby had a good xmas , my kids had good xmas i guess. Well my young adults. 23,19 year olds. time to give dad a break find places of their own. Again. Lol.
    Yeah so all n all im broke but here. So better than rich n gone. So I can't complain 😮 wait a minute 😁 i believe I did. Opps sorry 😞 about that. Well more than enough rambling on for this year all ready. So I'll let ya get back to making something nice. Not have to read this book. So stay safe keep on keeping on, from ur ole hillbilly buddy
