Thank you for your suggestion. ı realy need to improve my parting ability. You gave me idea for what to experiene next. I am planning for a while to make a bezel for one of my next project but couldnt find time and proper tools yet. I didnt know bezel could improve parting i want to test it soon :) ıf you have a pictures or drawing for something attached to billing base attachment and if you share i will appreciate alot.

@@UpCycleMaker My comment was under the assumption that the parting (especially towards the end) was so difficult because of deflection. It would make sense because the workpiece was quite thin at the end. So it would prefer to move away rather than being cut into. Why the parting was so difficult in the first place, I have no idea: But it seems people offered some good solutions already: Mounting the cutter upside down sounds interesting and if it works it works! As for your question: I would love to make some small drawing but I have no idea how to share it on youtube ... but my idea was basically to take a fairly thick vertical steel plate or profile (L or U profile would help against deflection), bolt it to the milling attachment face. Thickness maybe 3/8 inch I'm thinking. The vertical piece long enough to reach to the center line of the work piece. At the top of that piece, a horizontal profile (depending on how long it is also L profile to make it more rigid) and then along that profile you place some fixture at the Y position where you want to part/cut: The fixture should either consist of two brass rods (threaded on the steel profile side) that go into the steel profile and hold against the work piece. MS58 brass won't leave any marks on stainless steel or alternatively ball bearings. I'm not sure which of the two leave lesser marks on the work piece. Would be quite an experiment. As for weight, I'm thinking probably not heavier than the ff250bl or 230ff mill when it's attached. So should be safe. Looking forward to what you come up with next!

@@UpCycleMaker Another thought that popped into my mind: Maybe the beginning of the parting is easier with a freshly sharpened HSS cutter. Those can be made much sharper than carbide inserts. Of course they dull easier.

@@bastian6173 in this video, i use brand new carbide cutter. I expect it will start cutting very easy but its not. After carbide tip is broken in some tryings, i tryed to sharpen it with dimond disc and still it was not easy to cut. it broke easily than its unused form :)

@@UpCycleMaker may I ask which parting tool you use? Is it 6mm shaft? Or 8mm shaft? And how wide is the insert? Thank you! 🙏

If you mean quick change tool post, you can search on amazon or online for oxa quick change tool post. for this small model , its -250-000.

@@UpCycleMaker Thanks

Under very high vibrations, sometimes mine also go loose. But generally ı have no problem with self loosining. But mostly handle go loose bot not tool holder. And my tool holder is almost perfectly fit to the qctp. Very less clearence. Maybe your is defected with a big clearence ?

@@UpCycleMaker I have the OXA posts on two other mini lathes and really like them! I’m sure the Sherline qctp’s are great, but it’s more $$$ than I want to spend!

Thank you very much 👍

Thank you very much for your comment 👍

I have DRO need to be installed :) but i will install dro to my milling machine. There is small DRos with screen i am also looking to buy one of it. Counting is extremely hard for me on this milling machine :) And congrats for you new lathe ı hope you will be very happy with using it :)

if you are asking for the mini table oprice, well it comes with my proxxon mini milling machine. I didnt use is for milling so it was spare.

Thank you for the comment. If you need anything i will try to help :)

I am beginner for turning and trying to learn :) thank you for the comments. I try to find solutions to problems with what ı have :) do you saying you can cut rebar easily ?

haha it seems like so but i started using stainless steel we will see whats going to trasform this channel :D

@@UpCycleMaker Oh I really thought it was the rebar. Anyway. It's really amazing what this little machine can do with only a little patience and some sharp carbid inserts. I am more and more tempted to get this little machine. My only concern is if it is not too loud...

@@bastian6173 in this video it is rebar, but i can machine stainless steel. I am using it in my new videos :) I am using it in my apartents small porch. I can say this lathe can be used at home. Machinig rebars thorn makes sounds but circular stock materials doesnt make much sound. vibration is very very low.

​@@UpCycleMaker Oh now I understand! I think rebar thorn isn't practical in the long run. Too much work in order to get a smooth cylinder. Thank you for reporting your experience. It's very helpful for my buying decision.

@@bastian6173 Yes it is realy realy inpractical. You have to spent too much time, effort and tool life. Mine was experiment. I am happy that my experience helps you :)

one of the reason why ı choose this mode is sound. I am also using it at home. A small apartment. If you use this machine properly there is almost no sound. I dont know for other brands but this one is i can say silent one. Not complain any neighbour yet :) What will you machining steel or wood plastic ?

@@UpCycleMaker thanks for the reply! For the most part, I'm looking to machine metals (steel, brass, aluminum, cooper) and plastics if any at all :) Good that neighbours aren't complaining, hopefully I will be as lucky!

@@foursixnine I believe when you experience with the feed, cutting depth etc, its very very silent. The most hard one is steel, others are piece of a cake for this lathe dont worry. Steel is also ok with right cutting tool for its size :)

I can surely say this machine is more than scale building. If you watch my never videos, i am machining stainless steel very easily. It has all the features as a bigger lathe mahine but in very smaller size :)

@@UpCycleMaker ​@UpCycleMaker Tool making in combination with a mill would be a huge benefit on top. For stuff like spaceships, it's often better to make a brass or aluminium tube stand and inner frame to make things transportable and prevent sagging over the years. Would work well in that kinda situation. And of course, making engraving tools and the like. And powered thread making is less hassle than manually cutting them into tubes and cylinders.

Thank you very much👍

Thank you very much for your comment. ı am very happy to hear that . that is motivation for me :)

bir diğer alternatif de proxxon fd150 için satılan 6.5mm kapasiteli mandren. insanlık tarihinin gördüğü en kaliteli mandrendir kendisi. ama kullanabilmek için c10-b10 da almak gerekiyor.

@@gokhanbora9001 bilgilendirme için teşekkürler araştıracağım.👍

👍

Thank you very much for the comment. yes it was the hardest job ever done by me 😅

Thank you for your comment and yes cutting in reverse really works :)

thank you very much for your comment 👍

ı tryed everything low lubricant much lubricant each way cutting is slow :)

Sure it will be useful for longterm use. But since threads are on the brass i thought it wont get rust soon.

👍

thank you👍

👍

yes ı agree. Proxxon tools are very impresive but the reason why ı tried to do is their accesories are very expensive ever for basic stuff. Andother rason is i try to find some projects to use my machines as ı am beginner. But in the end ı already bought the tool required. I am using them in my other videos :)

@@UpCycleMaker He meant to say that Proxxon tools are not quality made compared to what a professional would use. He might have forgotten that we are not professionals, though.

Thank you

Thank you very much :)

Merhaba, mail gönderebilirsiniz : upcyclemaker@gmail.com

Un fortunately this was very old design of me. Its not easy for me to find stls back :) But soon i will make a new and most practical design and can think of share that stls . Sorry for now to coudnt help about that.

Thank you and yes it does. İt works like brand new now :)

Thank you very much for comment :)

Thank you for suggestion, i will keep it in my mind for next projects.

I will look for it to buy in the future.For now i can remove 0.2 mm for starting and than drop to 0.1 mm. This tools are good for now but it look like i will need better ones in the future for time saving. I will surely check your channel soon. Thank you for your comments :)

Hello, Thank you a lot for wathcing the videos. I am very new to machining and trying to learn tools. Hss is simple yet great tool. But for the rebar its really not easy to handle.

Thanks for comment .Yes proxxon doesnt have this tool. I am planning to make some more accesories soon. For this i made some measurement mistakes i need to correct them :)

Thank you for the comment. I am planning to improve it soon .

Its something should be considered to use this qctp in such a small lathe. For now that huge gap allows me to easily adjust it for some work. But one of my next project will be a screw for especially hold this qctp precisely in place.

yes sure i have many project in mind :)

ı bought it through Amazon but it comes from china. You can search for 250-000 on amazon you will see this qctp it is very common.

Thank you for your Comment. Table is super rigid for small jobs it very enough.

Yes,ı know that page following it already thank you for information.

ı wish :)

Then PD 400 is for you... but it also needs rework in several areas... Michel Uphoff has a lot of videos about it. Proxxon is good but not flawless.

Sory for late answer. Proxxon is very quality lathe in its class. I am a hobbiest and very small pieces my pd250 done a great job. Even ı push it limits its ok. It is very precise. With extra part if you want you can increase its precision too. But it comes with very less accesories. You need to buy many accesories such as qctp, carbide tools, fixed steady etc. But its accesories are very expensive. But once you buy anything from proxxon it will probably serve you many years. I also suggestyou to buy PD400. because for example my spindle bore is 10 mm. I cant use any long piece for cutting its really unconveinient for me. I dont know your working area but pd400 has atleast 20 mm bore in its chuck. Proxxon is german made and you can feel its quality. Even its extremely expensive but i suggest you PD400.

You are right but since i am beginner and dont do anything commercially yet, i do it for enjoy its a challenge for me and source of experience :) but it is extremely hard to handle ı am looking for supplier for real material to turn on lathe .

You are right but i am trying to operate it with extreme caution. But when i search online, i saw some people make more brutal thing with this lathe and it still in good condition :) but of course working with the limit with proper material is better for machine life.

Yes after many try i realized that its very tough. I hope i can find more suitable materials for turning to continue my projects. Since i am beginner i am still learning new materials and how to handle it.
