The lathe machine is good for facing bronze aluminum and alloy steel, when it comes to Mild steel its a different story i tested it and you see in the video it also can work with mild steel but it make some vibrations in the head and some weird noise that im sure its not normal.
Upgrades that needs to be done to the lathe machine:
use another high quality Pillow block bearing, Adding a Drill press pulley System and Changing atleast 1/2 or 3/4hp motor.

In case you don't know it, for the chuck you can get rid of those three expensive bearings, and use a tube with two bearings on each side, back to back, of the type used in car/trucks wheel hubs. These are tapered roller bearings, and are basically to conical matching parts (each). These will be able to handle more axial load than your lathe can put out, and even if from the scrap yard and used, will get you more precision and repeatability than those three altogether.

@policedog4030 5 жыл бұрын

Good idea, and when you say "tube" did you have in mind something like 10 to 15 Centimeters (4 to 6 inch) diameter steel tube or pipe to house the bearings?

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 3 жыл бұрын

honestly for an inexpensive DIY lathe this is really good, I had never considered using optical rails or bearing blocks

@Hellsong89 3 жыл бұрын

@@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.

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.

@baremetaltechtv Жыл бұрын

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.

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. ...?

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.

If you do, you'd be much better off using taper roller bearings, even if not precision bearings. Maybe even ones off junk car with good wheel bearings. You can see the these bearings runout when he starts a cut. These pillow blocks are not meant for axial load and there's noway to preload them like a taper bearing. I think doing that and moving the toolpost closer to spindle would give you a chance at decent surface finish, it just is not going to happen with those bearings and and that much tool stickout. Good luck

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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 😇
