Ah ... now I get this! I’m looking forward to see your mastery of this on a mill.

the rising shot is epic. slick and precise!

Hello, man that’s a sweet set up. Is that a home made lathe. Cool , good stuff man. Keep them video’s rolling and stay safe.

I also use the VMC as lathe. Works pretty well! Nice upgrade.

Great video thanks

Very cool good job

Jackpot! Great tool holding fixture! I was trying to sort out how I can make a repeatable tool setup that I wouldn't have to tear down every time I wanted to swap over to my vice... I think I'll do something similar to what you did... I've already got a "breadboard" that sits on my mill table. It has both holes for pins and treaded holes... That should bring me back to the same spot every time.

thanks thanks for great info ...Without knowing much... what's best hobbiest mill to look for taig style with pass through large chuck? I'm so far behind on these tools but excited to learn .. thanks

Hello Curt Van Filipowski, I'm very beginner when It comes to these machines. I always try to fix little things that are broken, but always end up failing and breaking them. I figured that I would machine to do the very precision shaping of the thing (plastic mostly, then some aluminium lets say). It took me a long time to figure out that there are these miling and lathe systems. Apparently I need more than 3 axis. Adding rotation to the miller sounded perfect to me. I can do 3D shapes and use rotary motion to fix the rotary parts of the thing I'm repairing. But for the life of me, I can't figure out what machine to buy and how to begin. I check out these proxxong and I can't figure out how to add the 4+ axis on the milling machines. What machine would you suggest for a beginner to do 4+ axis small scale very precise fixings? I don't have the budget to go to automated CNC's immediately and work with 3D design applications, lets say that's the future plan. But I want to start with somethign I can manually control, turn by my hand and do the work carefully. Ability to turn the and mount the rotating part (rotating table) and change the orientation of it vertical/horizontal. And maybe able to also make it turn like a fake lathe would also cool. But what do I know.

Супер !

Awesome video! Curious what controller you are using? I was planning on going with acorn. but I'm not sure since I might have to buy a second license

Anyone else read the title like 'Batman's a scientist!'

What lathe is this?

I like your projects.. specially when you turn strong metal pieces on this lathe :)) #boycott_french_products
