Raise your hands for those wishing to see Mr Pete make something off that micro lathe! I know, its not his and on loan. Thanks for showing all the components!
Mr Pete I wanted to share a safety experience with you and the crew. I recently purchased an Atlas lathe and as usual many of the parts were rusty. So the other morning I was trying to remove a chuck adapter that was in a collett. I applied some pb blaster and set it aside for a couple of days. Then I had the bright idea of heating the collet up with a little propane torch to be able to push out the chuck adapter. However what I wasn't aware of at the time is that the collet in not drilled through. So what happened was that when the collet got warm enough the pb blaster turned into a propelent and the chuck adapter turned into a bullet, ricocheting off several other machines, a couple of walls and through the fiberglass garage door. Live and learn, safety first.
Ingenious little lathe and the features in its design. Can't wait to see you cut metal with it. As for the toothbrush, Hoppe's #9 is my favorite breath fragrance.
I knew this was going to be a good series for the micro lathes. Side tracking about Easter Eggs hidden within. Mentioning "us" isn't bad, I often use "us" or "let's" when exploring something far fewer care about. (predecessors to the MM line). Oh! Never too much info! While studying, Wynn's Wishful Thinking led me to the very popular It's Such a Pretty World Today. Look at the sunshine... Awri (Henri) Toulouse-Lautrec is a huge Easter egg (neat tidbit) snuck in. We know his works! On a France trip, we overnighted in Toulouse and the foreign vodka tasted like potatoes. Is it odd to be a mechanic or home machinist and still be learn-ed? You sir, surprise and delight us who pay attention! Ignore all that. Back to the video. Thank you! Very interesting!
Mr Pete, thank you for the overview, you marched right through the design description like you had in cruise control. Great job! This lathe is so cute you could put it in a baby crib! 😂 However, it’s interesting concept for a model engineering project, milling the parts on a conventional milling machine, turning parts on a South Bend, grind the bed on a surface grinder, there are a lot of stock drive parts from companies like BERG and Boston Gear which could open up interesting possibilities. Yes is looks like a compact 10 EE Monarch! If your wife uses WD-40 for perfume, she may be trying to get you out of the shop for a bit! 😊 Thank you again for sharing and introducing us to this little guy. Randy Musselman Wyoming, DE
I went to my club meeting ( MID-VALLEY MODEL ENGINEERS ) and brought along my Master Lathe as it is laybled, or MANSON with the tool box. Most of the club members thought it was better then slice bread. Some of them never knew it was out there, hands on much better then watching. Thank You Mr Pete
Thank you for your enthusiasm, mr Pete! It fuels my interest for the subject. You have made it very clear that this little machine was not made for fun, so I look forward to see you produce someting on it that does not look as if it was made on a toy lathe!
Thanks, Mr.Pete! I am enjoying the micro lathe videos! Waiting for the Unimat series too! Keep up the amazing work! You might be advancing a little too slowly for most of your viewers.
I wonder if the collet for the collet chuck is the same size as a Dremel uses. Amazing that they made the bed with v-ways. Would have been easier to have made flat ways like the Atlas has. I think that the drive plate may have been made by the original owner right on the little lathe. I'm looking forward to seeing chips fly from these marvels! MJ
up early too. making the driver for a alignment pin remover. Basically a standard screwdriver inside a 5/8 hole. I chew up my fingers driving a regular screwdriver socket bit. I'm about 40 operations into it already. This tool does not exist in nature, so I have to make it. Making the flat for the driver for the second time right now. I will head to the shop and weld the driver into the socket when I am done. Then back in the lathe to clean up the outside. Into the vevor oven to harden. into the toaster oven to temper, works great. Then i will cold blue. 900@ for any body who wants one, LOL.
Such a neat litttle machine, really puts a smile on your face. Perfect for putting on the coffee table and doing a little turning while the missus is watching 'the price is right' or 'jeopardy' .
Neat, thanks for the tour of this unique little machine. I hoe you show it making some chips at some point before you send it back to Lost Creek Machine. So glad they lent this to you for our education, entertainment.
I love the threading nut. Pretty innovative. I could see that been incorporated into a vice for rapid open/close or a drill press stop... Is there a name for that kind of part?
The parts seem nicely made. Would the price of one of these have been attractive to Mr Average Joe? There were a number of very small lathes available to the Englishman between the World Wars but they didn't compete with the finish of these Mansons. I was an avid reader of the back issues of Model Engineer in the club library but I don't remember much advertising from the American market.
Well, here I set watching mr. Pete, while I wait for it to warm up to 32deg and go bring in more fire wood. But these little micro lathes have such fine detains, hard to not won't one (@@)! Thx Lyle, stay warm, and don't see those Green Bananas on the bench??? 🙂
I get a notification every single time you upload! I think we would like to see some chips fly,something simple a facing or turning operation thanks for posting🤗😎🤗😎
I am curious about the kits drive plate/lathe dog relationship, from my perspective the dogs legs are to big to fit into the plates holes and if the legs do fit in those holes ,it might be a challenge to fit a part to turn Vs the traditional looking face plate with the slot for the dog leg.
dremel make a 3 jaw chuck that is smaller- it can take from 0mm-3.2mm, on all my dremel tools I have replaced the collet chucks with the 3 jaw ones as its quicker to use.
That is sure a cute little lathe. It sure would be hard to handle those tiny parts. I think the rack in your hands had the "B" serial number not the assembled lathe. If so they went from a steel cross slide to aluminum or maybe something cheaper? A cheap casting?
Shared the video as requested! Each video you produce in this series makes me want one of these lathes more. I cannot imagine wanting to do work this small, but I "need" one of these pretty desperately now.
Wow, I'm sitting here looking at a penny trying to wrap my head around the scale of this stuff. It's odd, because all of these tools are very familiar to my brain, and my brain has a scale that it "expects" them to be in. So even trying to imagine them that small is difficult because my mind is fighting against me and telling me, "No, we know how big that is and it's MUCH bigger than that!" Aaaaaaaaaaand technically, *pushes glasses up* a rack isn't a "straight" gear, but a gear of infinite diameter.... Sorry, sorry, I tried so hard NOT to say it... I'll see myself out...
Too Loose La Treck? Honestly, if the Hollywood Anti-Homophonia Association finds out about this they'll place you on the naughty list. Mark Twain disliked puns, you are warned, Lyle!

A small steam engine
I’ll raise a thumb 👍 at even my age eye sight for making tiny things are challenging it just started hitting me this year with the close range vision
My hand is in the air right now....

WOW!!!!
That's exactly what I said. Fortunately I had removed the set screw, so it didn't have the extra inch and half to build up more pressure.
Thank you Mr. Pete!
Glad that Mrs Pete is always glad to contribute to making of these videos
One of the reasons that I watch your videos is just because you are in them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I appreciate that!

Thank you Mr Pete. That's awesome. Watching this makes me think about what it would take to build a very basic, usable micro lathe.
So this what was inside the pulp fiction suit case. Thank you.
Thank you for doing this series Mr Pete. It's fascinating to see inside the carriage and how it all works. Cheers, Alan.
This lathe reminds me of my Boley watchmakers lathe ,good job,mr. Pete!
One of my friends has a boley
That's awesome, you have the separate carriage to be able to disassemble and handle the micro lathe bed. Very cool little machine Tubalcain.
Looking forward to you working with this fantastic lathe. Thank you fine sir!
I don't see myself ever getting a mini lathe, but this topic is very interging to watch. I plan on watching every post. Thanks
Glad to hear it!
That's amazing how much detail is built into such a small lathe. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
You sir,are an excellent teacher. Throughly enjoying the video.
Thank you kindly!

While watching your video, I made a brass knob for an antique carbine on my Unimat . I enjoy your videos.
Sounds great!
Thanks Mr Pete 🖖
Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Hello Mr.Harold i sure hope you and the Wife are both in good health, sure miss your shows but i understand that life gets in the way at times.
@@tonypike5785 thanks for the kind words. Take care and Keep on keeping on.
Very interesting more please Thanks Mr. Pete
Nice work Mr pete I real enjoys the micro machining and all your nice works .Thank you for showing .
Good morning Lyle. The collets look like the ones from a Dremmel Tool.
Or a pin vice.
Very informative I appreciate your time you put into your videos. Never thought someone would make a micro working lathe.
I can't wait to show the Shop Forman this lathe! I'm going to tell him "the size of that lathe is tantamount to the size of my weekly paycheck!"
I wonder if the collet for the collet chuck is the same size as a Dremel uses.

How did you know that my wife watches those horrible shows?
@@mrpete222 They ALL do 😄
The random collet appears to be from an Ericsson drill, reamer holder.
JIM ❤
Great job. Thank you 😊
Great video, that little machine is so interesting. I sure enjoy the details that you went through.
Great video Mr Pete! TY! Neat detail on that little lathe!

Ol Elijah is faunching at the bit to get one of those for his bedroom. Thanks.
I would be reminded of Charles Manson every time I ran it
Me too
Nice to see what you make with the lathe.
This series is very interesting. Can’t wait for the next installment I want to see this in action.
Excellent as always
I love the threading nut. Pretty innovative. I could see that been incorporated into a vice for rapid open/close or a drill press stop... Is there a name for that kind of part?
Another interesting 'coffee edutainment'. Keep up the good work - very interesting. Thanks for the hard work.
Dremel tools have little chuck collets about that size that might fit.
Much enjoyed
Your RED hoodie in the stills makes for a great picture, contrast!
Thanks
Great video Mr pete looking forward to the rest !! Thanks !!!!
Amazing machine,mrpete.Thank you.
How awesome is that micro lathe I never knew those were made I had only seen the minimat and the Asian ones
No wonder they cost so much a lot of work and details go into this beautiful machine

Thanks Mr Pete. But, hey, don't let Keith Rucker see that lathe bed! He'll want to get to a'scraping!
It'd be funny to see him try with his big old mitts and a carbide tipped toothpick 😂
@@EuroclydonEng Hey, man. Less of the "old". Big mits, yes. Keith loves a good scraping but this might be a bit wee.
@@MrPossumeyes 🤣
Ready to see some chips!
Good morning Mr Pete !! John
Good morning Lyle.
Great video series, I have a small Sears/ Atlas 101-######? I enjoy turning small projects on. Keep'em coming!
I get a notification every single time you upload! I think we would like to see some chips fly,something simple a facing or turning operation thanks for posting🤗😎🤗😎
Boy that is something. That is a cool little machine
Hope you got your long johns on
Wow ! Almost makes you want to copy one !
Forget Henry who you need to operate the lathe is the one and only "Tom Thumb"
lol
Very interesting to me!
I am curious about the kits drive plate/lathe dog relationship, from my perspective the dogs legs are to big to fit into the plates holes and if the legs do fit in those holes ,it might be a challenge to fit a part to turn Vs the traditional looking face plate with the slot for the dog leg.
Needs a tiny dial indicator and noga mount!
dremel make a 3 jaw chuck that is smaller- it can take from 0mm-3.2mm, on all my dremel tools I have replaced the collet chucks with the 3 jaw ones as its quicker to use.
When I see gummy parts like those I just want to put them in a ultrasonic cleaner. Mostly I use carb cleaner since I don't have an ultrasonic.
Nice video! Manufacturing these intricate lathes would be cool to see. I bet they made 100 at a time, to make it marketable??
I see the cross slide has a gib with tabs on both ends to hold it in place. How would you adjust for wear without screws? Shims?
Thanks, Mr Pete!
That is sure a cute little lathe. It sure would be hard to handle those tiny parts. I think the rack in your hands had the "B" serial number not the assembled lathe. If so they went from a steel cross slide to aluminum or maybe something cheaper? A cheap casting?

Can't wait to watch him turn down some straight pin OD stock.
"Am I telling you too much?" Nope!!!
Shared the video as requested!
Each video you produce in this series makes me want one of these lathes more. I cannot imagine wanting to do work this small, but I "need" one of these pretty desperately now.
One on eBay right now for just under a grand.
It looked to me that the reason the saddle wouldn't come off was not interference between gear and casting but the screw holding the rack.
Just sayin.
I saw that too
It looks to me like the 'large' lathe dog is from a Unimat, which by happy coincidence you have.
I am subscribed with two different names and try to watch and comment using both accounts.😊
Awesome! Thank you!
