Cutting boards are made from HDPE not nearly as hard as nylon. The way those chips came off the material it could be Delrin. Put some nuts on those jacks to lock them in place
@deezworkshop 4 күн бұрын
Thanks, I need to educate myself on the types of plastics and hardnesses. Lot to learn there. This material was much harder than the curring board type of material. Locking nuts would really help with those jacks. I need to improve them for sure. I think I will put some flats on them as well so I can snug them down with a wrench as needed. Cheers, Thanks for watching. Hope you are well and had a great Holiday weekend.

Got be stoked with the look and feel of the workshop atm. Definitely a space to be proud of, well setup and getting projects done. Its turning into the shed most of us dream about👍👌🇦🇺(your close up shots are sweet as, is it a new camera?)
@deezworkshop 4 күн бұрын
My shop space has really come together, The addition of the Yard barn to get the outdoor tools outside has really helped. You can make a nice workshop in any space you have...just need to get creative in some situations. I have been incorporating more close up shots in the latest content. The GoPro doesnt do well with anything closer than 12 inches and really is good at outdoor shots. The bigger issue with it is it overheats very quickly and shuts down. Really kills the momentum during certain recording sessions. Not been happy with it for what im doing. I actually use the iphone for my closeup shots and it does really well. I may upgrade my phone and switch to using it mostly. Thanks for the feedback, and I really am digging my workshop space now. Cheers

I think its delrin but could also be UHMW or some variation. Honestly I am not quite sure. Some of the plastics are harder and more rigid and some are certainly more flexible and softer. This is an area I need to educate myself on.

Do you possibly have the main Spindle bearings designation number to do a bearing replacement for your Vevor MX - 400 ? I cant find a manual for the MX 400 to download or pay for .
@deezworkshop 9 күн бұрын
As far as I know there is no such manual. The manual that came with mine is for a MX200/210 and beside that there are no parts breakdown or part list in it anyway. I am in the process of tearing apart my headstock. I was going to get into the spindle bearings but I dont think those are my issue. At the moment I dont plan to tear into that to find a parts number but If I have to get back in there I will certain have a video on it wiht the part numbers and all. There are smaller bearing in another pulley that I am replacing , they are standard roller skate or skateboard bearings, Bearing number 608-Z but that won't help you, I measured my OD of my spindle and it came out to around 51.79mm so a much larger set of bearings would be required. Dont take that measurement as anything accurate only an estimate. Good luck and as I said I will share those details if I have to get into those bearings. If you truly need to replace the bearings start tearing into it and get the bearing number off the ones you have. That would be the next step. Good luck.

See that round ball on the end of the shaft of that surface gauge, that for doing squareness comparisons. Set it up so the ball pokes out low at the front and then get a DTI mounted higher than the reference ball, touch the ball on a square reference surface, set to DTI to zero, then you have 2 vertical points that you can check something else for squareness with. Watch some vids on them, it'll all make sense. Real nice tool, lap him flat, and love it.👍👌🇦🇺(that's a coincidence with the diamond paste, I just ordered a set 2 days ago, but DON'T put that paste on your surface plate, it will wear a dip in it, the paste is for sacrificial lap plates and round ID and OD laps. Usually a softer metal for the lap. I don't know much about this, I'm teaching myself too. Again, watch some vids, ROBRENZ, has all the info you would want.

I agree diamond dust on the granite plate would impact it but I am going to take it slow and try to prevent that. If I am careful it should work out. who knows though :-)
@adhawk5632 9 күн бұрын
@@deezworkshop wicked mate, can't wait to see the tests. What I meant was you will have to make up a lapping plate, grab a bit of ally or steel, cut some grooves in it then lap it flat with 220/600 grit silicon carbide paper on your granite(face up with the paper). Then your paste goes on the plate(it will need to be re lapped flat occasionally, it is a sacrificial surface) to lap whatever you want. Anything that diamond paste touches will wear down a tiny bit. It'll be fine, but do be mindful of it. When you see people doing granite surface plate restoration, they use a hardened roller to "charge" the cast iron lap with diamond dust, flip the lap over and start the cutting. Diamond rips the granite flat again. Enjoy your first go at lapping, it'll be fun👍👌🇦🇺

Deez, a 24 hour soaking in white vinegar will loosen mill scale to where you can rinse all of most of it off with water. White vinegar will also remove galvanizing and other coatings. I have several different sized plastic containers and lengths of abs black plastic pipe that I keep filled with vinegar so I can soak lengths up to 8 ft. long. It can be used over and over several times, works better than grinding, and is very inexpensive. Do a search on KZfaq there is lots of videos about this.

@deezworkshop 24 күн бұрын
No. You don’t want to go to red or cherry red, that may affect the temper or hardness. I usually go to the straw color stage or just beyond. First it will go to a blue color then lighten up to straw color. That’s where I like to them dip it in oil. Good luck if you are going to try it. Pretty easy to do. I still haven’t fixed the noise. Some days it’s fine others not good at all. Pretty sure it’s the bearings. I do need to get on With that repair.

I am not at all happy with the idea of most of these little lathes coming from one or two factories differing only minor ways. What really gets me is that all the brand names are only brokerage houses. They have no showrooms or store fronts. All they have is their brand and all of the brands connect back to a single source, or the one across the street in Shanghai.... Why is this bad? The retail buyer is made to be the quality inspector. The lathe never really gets checked out until it arrives at it's destination. Then the customer, who should not have to do all this, discovers things that are wrong and has to fix them. Sure, he or she makes phone calls and new parts arrive and it's OK but this should not be the way it is. I think, I believe that most of these so called brands, if we could find their actual offices, are nothing more than a spare room in someone's house withe a bank of computers and some phones. I'd like to have a small lathe but I will order one that I know has been inspected begfore it is shipped. It should not have misaligned half nuts or fittings that don't line up properly. Mind you I am not talking about leveling the machine. That is not what I mean. I mean factory defects in manufacturing. And if the machine is to be returned? How many months would it take to finally get credit? No thanks to all this "game of chance" business. I'll buy American made where I can drive my Chevy to the factory and see as lathes and mills are being made. I'll pay more. Not a problem. I don't like the idea of ordering and paying then wondering if the one I get willl be defect free and if it's not I have to fix it. No thanks to that. In response to this comment there will be a few who will try to tell me that "but the price is low... blah blah..." And I say we get what we pay for. Here is one workaround that I might find satisfactory. I order. They ship. I uncrate and inspect. If I am satisified I pay. If not I return it. How's that for equitable?
