No DRO, no milling machine, no QCTP, no electric band saw, not a word. Man, you deserve my utmost respect. You definitely got talent. Certainly beyond many of us do. Congratulation for your creation and thanks for sharing.
I really like the different techniques you used in lieu of a Milling machine. I am building a new garage to be used as a workshop to keep my brain learning and have picked out a lathe but cant yet afford a mill. You have shown what can be achieved with a drill press and a lathe (and some cool if not a little bit crude additions and techniques).
I have been in exactly the same position and only recently was able to obtain a mill. Its fantastic to see how 99% of stuff can be done on a Lathe. They always say buy a lathe first, this is why :)
1:45 +5 to respect! I really respect people approaching work rationally. Saving time, saving tooling life, sparing yourself the noise etc. Sometimes you've got to go in dirty.
Man, watching the stuff you do with limited tools you have makes me ashamed at how little I can do with the comparably limitless equipment at my disposal. You have some serious skill and ingenuity.
Outstanding work fella... love the flexible thinking you apply when doing an operation you don't have the proper tool for..... its what makes a person an engineer... much kudos to you friend
Seeing you do all these operations with nothing but a hobby lathe and a press drill is awesome... The first time I saw you milling on the drill press table I thought you were a madman, but you've opened my mind about what I can do in my own shop without ever needing to spend the (much needed in my tiny shop) space for a mill. The quality of your videos is good too. I like the format, and you make the clips just long enough for us viewers to understand what the operations and setup are with minimalist explanation. Keep at it. Your channel is inspiring and a testament that when there is a will, there is a way.
Your (ab)use of the lathe as a milling machine is amazing and very creative. I have seen far worse results made by people with far more expensive machines.
Haha, thank you very much! :D Yes, it's a bit wild but if you have just this litle lathe you have to be creative to compensate the lack of a milling machine :)
@@WeCanDoThatBetter Yes, I agree. Many, many years ago I built a model of a steam locomotive just with my lathe. I also had to do all the milling on the lathe. Quite a challenge. Yes, you have to be creative, which is fun but also time consuming.
Just curious as to how you've decided that milling on a lathe is abuse... Milling attachments for lathes have been around since the 1890s... As a matter of fact, I hope to either build or rig one to my lathe, built in 1894.
@@trollforge I wrote "(ab)use" - so I certainly did not "decide" that it was an abuse. And my remarks wasn't meant as a negative critique - on the contrary: I appreciate creative use of machines as I clarified in my follow-up comment.
Proper old school metalwork, you must be super happy with the way this came out! One change that might be useful is to machine a small recess into the carriage end of the aluminium adjuster knob to take a suitable wavy washer. This would ensure the adjuster and screw is always biased away from the carriage and remove any residual movement (though you did a great job with the fit).
That's super clever. Your work demonstrates that if you only have one machine tool, go with the lathe. I knew this, because it can make all kinds of mundane stuff, like spacers bushings and bearings, even shafts, with no special tooling. Those are things one would often like in exactly the right size. So you get utility right off the bat with a lathe. You: But wait! There's More! :)
Nicely done sir. I really like the design. Just a tip from an old man who has been doing this close to thirty years. Make sure you watch your backlash in adjustments (adjust the dial in the same direction / rotation). Keep up the great work!
Thanks, you have great ideas and excellent follow thru. You will do better on TH-cam if you show the finished item first, not all the parts with the expectation people will blindly watch 18 min of all the work you put into it. Most will jump to the end and see the products then decide if watching you make it is worth the time, you have missed the opportunity. Filming is good, the work is very good you almost got it. Wish you the best and Cheers!
Enjoyed the reality of this video, hacksaw and files and bullying metal out with a drill 👍 So many mini-lathe videos where they are like "let's just pop over to the 5 axis CNC to finish off this part" 😂
Absolutely brilliant how you were able to utilize the mini lathe to perform many different functions..........I got many ideas from watching you make the carriage stop.......will be incorporating them into my mini lathe. Thank you for the upload.
I will putting this into my project task, along with a bunch great ideas 💡 😀 for my new Lathe, showing up at the end of this month. Have a good weekend now.
Love what you manage to do with limited tooling, I'm started to believe you really can build a lathe only using a lathe. I was a little sad you broke down and brought a milling attachment 😀
My hat is off to you sir! Great job and I will be incorporating most if not all of the tools shown to utilize the lathe for milling purpose. Oops....just saw that I have already commented.......no biggie.......just reiterating (for the algorithm).
I'm a little sad you bought a milling attachment - some of my favorite parts of your videos were the cobbled together work holding solutions to use the lathe as a makeshift mill. As a fellow small lathe owner, I really admire your ingenuity and resourcefulness. I saw the carriage stop in another one of your videos and thought "where'd he get that, that's a lot nicer than the one I have". I should've known you made it.
@@WeCanDoThatBetter if you can find a suitable wood band saw you could adapt it to metal cutting. Needs to be fairly robust as wood saws go and a DC motor with speed control will get you the torque and low speed needed. A diy power hacksaw is very doable though, they are kinda considered obsolete these days but they are cool and still useful to a hobbyist.
Very nice stop you made, you say it sits a little low, I see it as not yet finished. Instead of remaking what about making a small foot you can attach to the end of the all thread that would offset and match the thickness of the cross slide. Once locktite was used to fix in place it would look intentional and finished. Just tossing an idea that may prevent a do over.
Thank you very much for your comment! Yes, that is a good idea. I will try to somehow adapt it to fit in the right height. To redo everything would be too much, that's right :)
@@WeCanDoThatBetter You are very welcome, I have a new mini that I am working through some of the build issues. Was impressed when I found some of your fixes, when I saw your too low height comment for the stop my first thought was maybe some kind of version of a left triangle shape could solve the height issue. You have got me wanting to work on my lathe but I am just recovering from back surgery so I need a good 8-10 weeks before I can go into my shop. So lots of time to see what others like yourself have dealt with and done. So far I managed to take apart the chuck clean and grind some of the bad casting, the difference in how much better the jaws function now is unbelievable.
Very nice! V1.2 update could be a spring loaded ball bearing detent for the dial. You could put the detents in the dial end and drill and tabe a hole in the aluminum body and hide it bed the screw gripper. Load a ball bearing, then a spring and seal it up with a grub screw. This way you could have the tactile feedback of the ball dropping in the detent at every 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20, etc. Regarding te screw sitting too low you could just sharpen it slightly.
awesome work that pal, im in the process of setting up a very small workshop and have brought myself a second hand mini lathe, what adjustable table are you using for your lathe? the one ive been lookin at is the cheapo one from temu or the like, it seems like a solid bit of kit in the vid
Amazing result with such a limited toolset, but it was painful to watch you take a hacksaw to that beautiful acme threaded bar. I'm stealing your fixture for aligning die-punch numbers.
0:27 parkside sponsoring? 😂😂 What a genius worker with limited tools. With more tools you could be chuck norris 😎 Wish I would have such amazing skills
Great. I spent a lot of time yesterday and today making a much more primitive carriage stop, in the end it's not how I wanted it and will have to start again. Your video gives me the inspiration.. to do better! Can you tell where to get the handle? It looks different from the usual black ones.
Hi. I suggest you put some of the solution in another container because if you don't, you're going to spoil the original. min 16:08. Very nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your advice. In my later projects I put a little bit of the bluing solution in a metal cap and used a little brush for applying it. This way I don't contaminate the solution.
I do not understand why that does not damage the driven spindle. I am aware of bigger machines that have a pin sticking out the carriage that, when run against the stop will decouple the carriage from the spindle. But how does this work here? My small hobbymat MD65 came with a carriage stop as well - however i never was brave enough to let the carriage run against it as long as i do not understand what will stop the carriage from being driven. My lathe does not have any split nut or something in the carriage, its just a plain brass nut.
You don't need to protect the surface of the chuck. You were cutting aluminum, the stainless was harder than the aluminum, but the vise jaws are hardened and unless clamping down on another hardened material like there was no tomorrow, they will be fine. Also, when cutting, drilling or otherwise machining aluminum, use WD40. It will not only cool and lubricate during the process, but keep the aluminum from welding onto the end of your cutter. slow down the RPM when you mill, and use the WD40, you will get a better finish, you can take bigger cuts, and there will be no chatter when cutting. Seems you're just starting out and I'm happy for you. Watch videos from MRPETE222 and THIS OLD TONY on youtube, it will help. Keep up the good work.
Really impressed with what you achieved with limited tools. May I ask was is the blue sticky tape called that you use to protect your work in the lathe jaws. I've never seen that before. Graham
Interessant zu sehen, daß du auch die gekordelte Mutter in eine Ausnehmung setzt. Deine Methode mit der Führung für die Schlagzahlen werd ich mir merken :-)
In der Tat, deine Ausführung hat mir sehr gut gefallen ;) Tolle Arbeit und eine gute Inspirationsquelle! Bei den Schlagzahlen habe ich erst gedacht, ich komme ohne Führung aus, aber habe schnell gemerkt, dass es verdammt schwierig ist ohne :) Zumal werde ich sie noch einmal brauchen :)
@@WeCanDoThatBetter Freut mich, daß ich dich inspirieren konnte :-) Wo hast du den süßen roten Klemmhebel her,????? So einen muß ich nachrüsten. Für die Teilung hab ich aus dem Durchmesser auf den Umfang gerechnet, unterteilt, auf Papier ausgedruckt, aufgeklebt, mit Körner markiert und mit kleinem Flachmeißel nachgezogen. Als Unterlage diente ein Bleiblock, eine Delle reingehämmert und fertig war die Unterlage. Meine Prioritäten bei der Konstruktion waren: schnell zu montieren und zu demontieren (Klemmhebel), Umgehung der Feder für die Keilnut daher Flügelschraube mit Zapfen, ohne weiteres Werkzeug (Schraubenschlüssel) zu bedienen und eigentlich - wollte ich ihn aus rostfreien Stahl machen . . . An einem Anschlag mit Revolverkopf konstuiere ich noch . . . I'm glad I was able to inspire you :-) Where did you get the cute red clamping lever, ????? I have to retrofit one of these. For the division I calculated from the diameter to the circumference, divided, printed out on paper, glued on, marked with grains and traced with a small flat chisel. A lead block was used as a base, a dent was hammered in and the base was ready. My priorities during the construction were: to assemble and disassemble quickly (clamping lever), bypassing the key for the keyway, therefore wing screw with pin, to operate without further tools (wrench) and actually - I wanted to make it out of stainless steel. . . I am still constructing a stop with a revolver head. . .
@@BLECHHAUS Ja, der kleine Hebel ist klasse. Es ist ein Klemmhebel von KIPP, den ich bei DOLD-Mechatronik (ebay) bestellt hab. Es gibt sie in verschiedenen Größen und Ausführungen. Die Teilung zu übertragen ist auch eine clevere Idee. Und ja, ein Revolveranschlag ist bestimmt auch eine coole Sache :) Ich frag mich nur, ob es nicht sehr kompliziert ist, alle Positionen exakt einzustellen.
@@WeCanDoThatBetter Klemmhebel von KIPP, danke, das hilft mir weiter. Also die Positionen sollten mit einer Kugel und Einrastlöchern funktionieren. Was mir am meisten zu denken gibt ist das Platzproblem links vom Anschlag zum Spindelstock hin . . .
Check out climb milling. You really don't want to be doing this on a flimsy mini lathe with no backlash eliminator. The cutter will drag the work in. Up cut is the method you need to use.

My priorities during the construction were: to assemble and disassemble quickly (clamping lever), bypassing the key for the keyway, therefore wing screw with pin, to operate without further tools (wrench) and actually - I wanted to make it out of stainless steel. . .
I am still constructing a stop with a revolver head. . .
@@BLECHHAUS Ja, der kleine Hebel ist klasse. Es ist ein Klemmhebel von KIPP, den ich bei DOLD-Mechatronik (ebay) bestellt hab. Es gibt sie in verschiedenen Größen und Ausführungen. Die Teilung zu übertragen ist auch eine clevere Idee. Und ja, ein Revolveranschlag ist bestimmt auch eine coole Sache :) Ich frag mich nur, ob es nicht sehr kompliziert ist, alle Positionen exakt einzustellen.
@@WeCanDoThatBetter Klemmhebel von KIPP, danke, das hilft mir weiter.
Also die Positionen sollten mit einer Kugel und Einrastlöchern funktionieren. Was mir am meisten zu denken gibt ist das Platzproblem links vom Anschlag zum Spindelstock hin . . .
Check out climb milling. You really don't want to be doing this on a flimsy mini lathe with no backlash eliminator. The cutter will drag the work in. Up cut is the method you need to use.
Oh yes, thanks for the hint. Should have known that :)
