Part 1/2: • How Everything Begun: ...
This is part 2 of the two part compound slide rebuild series. I made a new acme thread spindle and accordingly a new leadscrew nut with adjustment feature for minimizing the backlash. Along with some smaller parts I finish the compound slide in this video. From part 1 I didn't expect the project to be so elaborate in the end. But there where some unexpected problems occuring with the bearings. Luckily everything went just fine in the end and the result I got is really satisfying. The compound slide moves so extremely smooth now and the new made adjustable backlash nut works so well that I measured almost zero backlash on the whole assembly.
I hope you enjoy this video.

I am a retired scientist but a self-proclaimed armchair machinist as I enjoy all hobby machining projects. I am very impressed with your dedication and skills in doing fine machine work, even using inexpensive machine tools. I was thinking that this project and many others that you have carried out should be titled "How to Make a CHINESE LATHE INTO a SCHAUBLIN KNOCKOFF"🤣👍

True that. Crap Chinesium, we are letting ourselves be played. Fixing their damn crap instead of building things properly ourselves from the ground up. I hate to see this. We have no pride anymore. And with all the people worked up about climate change and whatnot Chinese factories are churning out tens of thousands of these, all coal fired and with poor treatment of employees. Fucked up world.

Das mit den Lagern ist ein Grund für mich, immer Lager von SKF zu kaufen. Die sind zwar teuer, aber wirklich gute Qualität. Industriestandard. Da liegst du immer innerhalb einiger Tausendstel Millimeter. Beim Gewindeschneiden, auch bei Trapezgewinden immer Schneidöl nutzen. Der Unterschied zu normalem Öl ist wirklich spürbar. Rändeln immer mit langsamer Drehzahl (zwischen 150 und 300/min) und auch hier immer Schneidöl nutzen. Du könntest versuchen mittels Stift und Nut deine verstellbare Mutter über eine Feder quasi wartungsfrei zu machen. Die Feder drückt beide Muttern auseinander, sodass du immer spielfrei bist. Kenne ich von einigen Herstellern von Drehmaschinen. Kannst du ebenfalls am Planschlitten machen. Nur ein paar kleine Tipps von nem Mechaniker mit knapp über 35 Jahren Berufserfahrung. 😊 Ach ja... Dein Kanal gefällt mir, habe ein Abo dagelassen. 👍

Дружище, при регулировке задней бабки обрабатывая до кулачков, используй безотказную формулу. Диаметр больший минус диаметр меньший разделить на две длины. Получишь величину смещения задней бабки. Сместив её с помощью индикатора не меняя положения и желательно не трогая фиксатор пиноли,получишь снайперский выстрел. Если обработка ведётся не на всю длину то формула немного меняется. Точно не помню но по моему вместо длины нужно подставить разницу длин. Но первой формулой пользовался неоднократно. Работает как часы.

For when you remove the handle, a thumb screw with internal hex driver that aesthetically fits the other knurled surfaces would really finish it off. You could still retain an internal hex on the outside of the thumbscrew, incase you need extra torque during machining but I doubt you'd end up needing it that often

For future reference: your machining and cutting that acme thread on the brass parts caused the metal to work harden, to resolve the "crunchiness" you need to heat treat the brass to remove the hardening... Also, I would suggest cutting the thread before machining the rest of since a fair chunk of that first part looked VERY thin and I was afraid it would snap off while trying to cut that thread. It could also allow you to hold it on some of the acme rod to keep the thread centered on the parts 😉 I like your making a bottoming tap as they're called, but that blueing had me concerned the temper on that tool was damaged, which isn't a concern for soft materials like brass etc, but could be a problem if you wish to use it for steel... if necessary, that could be easily resolved with a little heat treating Other than that observation, FANTASTIC JOB!

Thank you so much! And yes, I thought to myself I'm probably getting in the range of how a real fine lathe would feel. Only thing which is now left to do is to scrape the compound slide in. I like to do this next.

Nice job, and some realy good solutions. One question... can the bottom of the dial ring pass the top surface of the cross slide? So when you put a compound at acute angle, you still get a full CS travel (of course, after removing the handle).

Great video dude! Im thinking of buying a similar lathe but i saw alot of deflection when you were center drilling/drilling is that unfixable with that lathe? Or do you not need the tools to be perfectly center for this specific job?
