@@TheChemicalWorkshop oh... Good question... I would make a groove the glass can rest on in the titanium tube. Place a silicone oring under it and press a titanium sleeve over it to cover and make it look seamless. No glue required... Hope this helps. If not - email me a drawing and I'll try to lend a hand...

@@azrobbins01 around 20usd.

@@Smallathe Thanks!

@@azrobbins01 My pleasure mate. Here is the link where I bought mine 2 weeks ago: www.aliexpress.com/item/4000635498864.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.23.1fc81802GQ0xlZ #No affiliation whatsoever :)

@@Smallathe Thanks again! I have never purchased anything from Aliexpress. Is it any different from amazon? For some reason I thought everything came straight from China so returns would be a nightmare, and counterfeits would be rampant.

@@azrobbins01 Good question - I buy from amazone and aliexpress (and there are other websites for machining tools). US made brands like Starette are wonderfully made but a tad too expensive (not to mention delivery). If I want percision tools (like my micrometer and calliper) I buy Mitutuyo that have a dealer in my country (but are bloody expensive too, of course - my digital calliper was 160USD). Still, quality tools are worth it. But for most uses like my bore micrometer I buy chinese stuff. I try to avoid the faking brands that write "mitutugo" on their products and look for brands that have their own logos. If you clean up the tool and callibrate it - it will work well. That's my 2cents. Hope it helps :)

Happy Hanukkah and merry Christmas :)

Glad you liked it :) I'll add her response to the video of making it :)

@@Kijiji-ny7qh My pleasure. Glad you found it useful! Parallels - I use two high speed steel blanks 6mm*2mm ground stock. These are ground to size and very parallel ... Yes, regular parallels are too big for the unimat tiny vice :)

@@Smallathe Thanks! Subscribed.

@Kijiji-ny7qh my pleasure again. Glad to help a fellow minilathe owner and maker :)

@@GTIFabric good point, but lathes rely on speed more than torque. Especially on small lathes - yes, torque would be nice for heavy cutting but the lathe m6 leadscrew would shear off... So I opt for higher speed and 0.1-0.05mm depth of cut.

@@peterrasmussen2793 Sure. It's already on thingiverse if I remember correctly :)

@@DavidPlass yes. The aluminium os tapped m6 to secure the resin casting and m8 to screw into the drill press.

Thanks mate :)

Lovely idea! I've been thinking on it. It's going to take a while - I have previous projects to do... :)

Thanks. I never bought one and my friend thought it would be a cool project to make one ourselves. The blade is from a large circular saw.

Thanks. Glad you like it :)

1; the odds of me finding only you in a comment section are microscopic but here we are. 2; what does that mean

@@thatguybrody4819 It means you should subscribe 😁

@@marcoam2610 hi. Well, very good question. I found no problems running it concentrically. You do need to slow down speed before you stop the motor or it stops instantly with a sharp impact. Other than thus it's not a problem

@@Smallathe The controller shown in this video has a programable brake setting, you can turn it of, or adjust in 5 steps.

English please?

​@@Smallathe Is this also possible with Unimat 3?

@@TadeuszTarka-so2dt I think so. It needs to be adapted to the machine specific design. Try! :)

@@jozefbubez6116 Absolutely. I did plan on modifying it for a 90deg cut, but for now, tested on aluminium and brass, it's working quite nicely. I did think on 3D printing a model. It should work for light cuts... What do you think?

@@Smallathe Hi and many thanks for coming back! As to 3-D printing, at age 74, I know next to nothing although one of our grandsons has made a toy bear or something of a like kind and it took seven hours. Would I not be right in saying that 3-D printing is for plastics only so depending on the exact material would be good for very light use, only? Personally, I prefer to stay with "old school" tech and if it can be done using a drilling machine and file only, so much the better! My interest in the compound slide is for a lathe I started building back in 1978 roughly following a book by Tubal Cain, I think it was, where he states what can be done using 'careful draw-filing'. The result was a 1/ 1/2" centre height, 6" between the centres using mild steel flats and a 1/2" diameter shaft out of what we in l'il olde England call 'silver-steel' which is a half-hard precision ground steel, the shaft running in plain fine-grain cast-iron bearings and bored through to take 8mm collets salvaged from the remains of a watch-maker's lathe which had only hand-held tools. Over the years, I have turned out quite a few projects on this 'mini' lathe but been confined to parallel turning only hence the ability to do taper would increase my possibilities. This may be of interest but I don't know whether there is any way of up-loading photos onto TH-cam? Cheers! Jozef

@@jozefbubez6116 hi Jozef, I too am for metal and machinning but 3d printouts do expand horizons for small lathes - check my post on 3d printed spacers. I have posted exact measurements - so I hope this will be usable for you too. Keep me posted... You can send me images by email via my candy making website www.spicecandies.com or by mail to saar@spicecandies.com.

@@jozefbubez6116 Glad you liked it. Thank you sir :)

Thanks Mate! :) I'm just getting into it - found some boards on aliexpress (for 3 or 5 axis machines) that can run on Mach3. I need more help on this (I'm brand new to CNC world and suck at electronics - i.e. much to learn :)

Glad you liked it! Much appreciated!

Thanks mate :)

Glad you liked it :) Actually I have. I've used it quite a few times so far. Here is the demo video: th-cam.com/video/NPdwEjLHpnY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=smallathe

@@DavidPlass right! I will make a wood turning stand that will reach this height :)

@@kitmaira Spot on mate!!!

@@petercallaghan4718 Right!!! Let me know if you need a riser for the tailstock. I don't think Emco made these...

@@Smallathe Thanks that would be great. Can you let me know the cost please? I'm in the UK.

@@petercallaghan4718 Well... assuming the tailstock is uniform and would fit - I can ship it via regular postal services and it should be arrive within 2-3 weeks. The shipping cost would be around 10USD.

@@ValMartinIreland It's plywood with a sheet of stainless steel on top. About 1/16" or 1.5mm thick.
