    Cutting threads is so much easier with this attachment.
    Email me if you would like the STL file for the handle or for the handwheels shown in a previous video.

    The pin and retaining clip mechanism is very clever.

    fabulous idea, I hope you can get sponsored from Axminster tools, imagine them giving you some other products,
    your upgrades & addons to them will blow there minds

    That's going to make threading a lot easier. I really like the Terry Clip retaining pin, great idea 👍👍👍 Cheers, Alan.

    Great to see myfordboy videos aimed at owners of an entry level lathe .
    This is where a lot of people start and all too often give up, because they
    are watching videos of a guy with a two ton Hardinge and can't understand why
    they're not getting the same results.

    Nice design for the mandrel handle

    I don't like to use threadlocker where it can get on plastic parts- they have a tendency to crumble. I hope whatever polymer you printed with is okay with it.

      I can't think of one. 🤔
      Anerobics are really bad that way.

    You keep smacking that left thumb. I’ve been watching it heal for months now and you whack it again. Thanks for the video.

    It's inspiring to see high quality work done on the little lathe. The tailstock looks a bit "wiggly" to me, but clearly that wasn't an issues in having it hold the die and letting you do the threading operation.

    Nice work, I like the way how that handle attached and detached

    You gave me a good idea for my mini lathe. Thank you!

    So are we going to have to start calling you Axminsterboy or Microboy now then? ;))

      I was waiting for someone to suggest this. !

    Impressive.
    Suggestion: use the same 3D printed knob for the handle of a new tail stock locking bolt, replace the existing bolt with a threaded bar it should extend to just above the tail stock with the knob or T bar on top - quality of life modification.
    I don't have a Axminster I have a 1979 Emco Unimat micro lathe, has the same position locking bolt for the tail stock

      Good suggestion. Still more ideas to try.

    Do you find the rotary on-off switch OK to use? I'd be tempted to add an additional rocker switch for faster turn off.
    Really intrigued with this lathe. I'll look into it's capabilities/max dimensional work.

    • @myfordboy
      @myfordboy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have to use the rotary switch as it has to be returned to the off position before the motor will run ( soft start).
      There is a link to this lathe in the description below the video.I am really pleased with it.

    I can't imagine it will be long before you replace that tail stock screw for something more convenient!

    • @myfordboy

      I have something planned.
