Hi Find. It was an absolute pleasure to listen to a man who really knows his craft. I have been wondering about purchasing one of these lathes for a while and your video has sold me on it. If it's good enough for you, then it'll be more than good enough for me! Many thanks.
Sir you are a great engineer and excellent teacher. The clarity of explanation is very good for a novice like me. You have my respect, Thank you and Kind Regards, Stuart Bell from the UK.
I am so happy to see a new video and to also know you are ok. wishing you all the best cheers. the only lathe I have is a heirloom passed down that was used to make gun barrels in WWII
Thank you Find, an interesting video. I have your lathes little brother and I have just tried your chuck tightening advice, I had never realised before you pointed this out...it works, I'll remember this from now on. Looking forward to the next one.
Hi Find. I have the same lathe, different importer. Slightly older than yours - dc motor. I rearranged the electronics layout and added a missing heatsink along with two over-run cooling fans - one for the motor, one for the electronics. I've added Clough42's electronic lead screw controller - really useful addition. I mounted the lathe on a Machine Mart strip down bench using a 50 x 50 mm steel framework to allow for bed adjustment. Also makes it much easier to drain the apron gearbox! I want to add a hand wheel mounted direct to the saddle drive shaft to give finer movement control. Not done that yet. Quite a capable machine, the large through hole in the spindle is really useful. I like the braking action and despite the variable speed control that slipping clutch arrangement is a very good idea when checking rotational clearances. Thanks for posting. BobUK.
Hi Find, I copied your idea of the leather washers for the charriot setting on my homemade lathe and it works great! Thank you very much for sharing your work. Best regards!
I have same model machine, had it four years now made a lot of modifications, That clutch love it brilliant & simple, my lathe I had same problem leveling it they are all like this, I like your solution use shim, From Coventry in UK 🇬🇧👍. P,S Just subscribed 👍.
I have the same lathe as you from another importer. It is an HBM290 V-F. Like you, I have already made many changes, especially to the top slide and the motor drive. The DC motor has been replaced by 2Hp AC motor with VFD. I love your beautifully designed and working diesel models. Regards Luc
Love all your videos!! Wish I had the time and talent to do what you do!!! Such talent! If I could spend a couple weeks learning from you! I thought I was a good machinist until I seen what you’ve created!!
hello sir !! thanks for sharing this info . i got same you machine size actually same in every thing .. i bought it from alibaba for 2000$ with milling also added 800$ for shipping and extra chuck and tools and its work so good till now ... but i have a question about gear box oil would like to know what kind of oil you using for it ?
We are manufacturing machines for the diagnostic sector and as a supplement to our Haas CNC we need to turn maybe one to two parts in stainless steel per week. Our parts do not need to be extremely accurate but surface finish has to be stellar. Parts are up to Ø100 x 300mm. Is this a suitable machine for making posts, shafts, mounts etc in high finish, or is the basic quality of the lathe just too low, so that we should go with a cheap CNC lathe in stead
Did You build that clutch-brake mechanism from scratches or is it available as weiss lathe accessories ? after i see it it is " must "to have it . please advise on that as well . thank you Stan
Hi, Hope you are well. Do you know what the leadscrew TPI is on this lathe ? is there a way to work it out from the charts? my leadscrew is covered, I will remove the cover and measure if you can not help me. many thanks Al
i also have that lathe i got it new in the uk for £1550 its called a fx250-fx750 different name though. 250mm swing and 750mm between centers and i have spent £2000 on tooling it up its my first lathe and i to have made a stack of mods on it.
thank you so much for sharing wonderful ideas for improvements on that lathe . i have similar model weiss wbl 290 f . however i have hard time to remove the pin holding the original tool post . I want to replace it with quick change . it doesn't unscrew out and i don't want to use to much force to make damage . do i have to disassemble the compound slide ? Please advice . Thank You, Stan
hi, friend. How are you doing with your lathe? would you recommend buying it? I want to buy one like it. I want to work with steel Thank you very much for your kind answer
Sikken en masse gode ider, min drejebænk/fræser er en WMP 280V-F og jeg har nøjagtig det samme problem med at spindlen ikke er 100% lige, jeg vil prøve tricket med sølvpapiret👍 Hej fra Henning
I have! But not avoiding them. I made some, 0.3mm thicker, they dont spin out of position. I also made new keyed shafts as the ones they came with are trash. Make the clips from alu or brass, not steel! Also how loud is your bench? Mine is awfully loud
Folks need 2 be smart and do their home work since a lot of brands are using this same Metal lathe rebranded with their name and different color schemes and are selling them at really high prices

I have the same lathe from Chester who call it a DB10VS. Your presentation was very clear, thank you!
Brilliant clutch solution! I used it a lot when working on larger lathes.
Nice addition for my mini lathe some day.
For the money this seens to be the best lathe i have seen . It covers alot more for it size and price . Awesome!!
Very nice lathe. The clutch is brilliant. Great video. Tony

i`m very very happy to see yoy again on youtube!
So glad to see another video from you Mr. Hansen
I'm glad to hear from you again, nice machine.
Great to see some new content Find.
Hi Find, I copied your idea of the leather washers for the charriot setting on my homemade lathe and it works great! Thank you very much for sharing your work. Best regards!
Very interesting, I love your clutch and I didnt know about master keys in the chuck thank you
If you find the time I'd love to see more video's like this about your other lathe's/tools
I love that clutch mechanism. Thank you for sharing!
Just found your channel and enjoyed your video very much. Keep up the good work!
Glad to see you back !
Have had my Weiss 290 for couple yrs now. Use it almost everyday. Great lathe for the price. Not one issue with it so far.
Fantastic !!! great job !!! you are a real master !!!!

Hello Friend
where did you buy your lathe from?
can you indicate the link?
I will thank you very much
Very useful. I've just bought a similar machine, & this has helped me set it up. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Learned a lot Thanks for sharing All the best to you from John in Texas
Love all your videos!! Wish I had the time and talent to do what you do!!! Such talent! If I could spend a couple weeks learning from you! I thought I was a good machinist until I seen what you’ve created!!
I concur with Roj. Will purchase one after looking at lots.
Thank you for taking the time.
The clutch is a very clever idea. Do you have any plans available?

Thank you for this video. Where did u bought it?
Класная идея - электронный штангенциркуль на продольный и поперечный ход суппорта.Блестяще выполненая идея...блестяще!!!!!Снимаю шляпу и ставлю лайк!
Do a video on how you make your little Oiler or blow lamps
I am rewatching this and went to click the like button, only to see that old me had already done that
Those square head tool clamp screws are great, far better than hex sockets that fill up with oil and chips
Thank you, Mr. Hansen.

please advise on that as well .

Superb
Hi, Hope you are well. Do you know what the leadscrew TPI is on this lathe ? is there a way to work it out from the charts? my leadscrew is covered, I will remove the cover and measure if you can not help me. many thanks Al
You happen to have drawings with measurements for your clutch assembly? I would like to replicate it.
Ingenious clutch arrangement. Does this version of this lathe have a DC motor, or an inverter+AC motor?
The lathe has a DC motor, with a great torque at the low speed ratio.
i also have that lathe i got it new in the uk for £1550 its called a fx250-fx750 different name though. 250mm swing and 750mm between centers and i have spent £2000 on tooling it up
its my first lathe and i to have made a stack of mods on it.
thank you so much for sharing wonderful ideas for improvements on that lathe .
i have similar model weiss wbl 290 f . however i have hard time to remove the pin holding the original tool post . I want to replace it with quick change .
it doesn't unscrew out and i don't want to use to much force to make damage .
do i have to disassemble the compound slide ?
Please advice .
Thank You,
Stan
hi, friend. How are you doing with your lathe? would you recommend buying it? I want to buy one like it. I want to work with steel Thank you very much for your kind answer
thanks mister.
Excellent ! Please more videos.
Hi
How is the accuracy?
How much you pay for this lathe?
Thanks
Nice Lathe...Where You come from??
Sikken en masse gode ider, min drejebænk/fræser er en WMP 280V-F og jeg har nøjagtig det samme problem med at spindlen ikke er 100% lige, jeg vil prøve tricket med sølvpapiret👍
Hej fra Henning
Hi, Have you also modified the end of the gear shafts to avoid using those nasty "C" clips. if so what exactly have you done and is it successful ?
I have! But not avoiding them. I made some, 0.3mm thicker, they dont spin out of position. I also made new keyed shafts as the ones they came with are trash.
Make the clips from alu or brass, not steel!
Also how loud is your bench? Mine is awfully loud
@@tarehjernetarehjerne4082 mine is also loud and rough. The way forward is an electronic lead screw. Search fo clough42 electronic lead screw.
I love your videos. Can you run the spindle in reverse?
I have the same lathe so yes, it can run in reverse
Congratulations on a fine new lathe. Is that a hand woven curtain I'm the doorway?
Yes it is a hand woven curtain made by my wife
@@boksermotor My wife is also a weaver. That is how I recognized the quality of a hand woven cloth.
Fine opgraderinger Find. Vil du ikke filme dine andre maskiner, og værksted 😀 på forhånd tak. Mvh
Nemt og enkelt lavet.
FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cant afford that monster, mines lil' & red.
Mine too.
Lol!
He does have a nice lathe though and he certainly knows how to take care of them.
