This is so impressive! You're inspiring me to build something like it! I don't think it'll be quite as polished as yours, but I'm gonna try! How rigid are those rails for your carriage? Do you get a lotta slop?
If you do this, you should get the other type of linear rails and blocks, like these ones for example: "VEVOR 2PCS Linear Rail 0.79-79 Inch, Linear Bearings and Rails with 4PCS HSR20 Bearing Block, Linear Motion Slide Rails Plus for DIY CNC Routers Lathes Mills, Linear Slide Kit fit X Y Z Axis" I made the mistake of getting these same ones as this video, and now wish I bought the other kind. Now I have to make an extra support rail under the slide in order to make it solid and more heavy duty. It was, and still is a learning experience and experiment. What they fail to show you in these videos, is the amount of pain in the ass it actually is to make the whole thing accurate and level. They make it look so easy in the videos LOL, but wow it's extremely tedious and time consuming. It's fun though IMO... Another thing you should look at if you are interested in making one of these is, making the lathe out of 2 part epoxy and sand, where you make a wooden frame type of a mold, and fasten your metal in the frame that your rails will attach to, making them as perfectly level as possible in the bottom of the framed box, along with some other metal supports and long nuts to bolt into later, then mix an 80% sand / 20% epoxy resin, with a touch of whatever colored die, and pour it into the wooden framed molding, and then let it sit for a couple days. This will make a beautiful lathe that is pretty much ready to bolt onto and finish, AND will do the best job at preventing the ringing and extreme vibration noise that happens throughout the metal frame on the ones like in the video. Look up metal lathe epoxy, and or epoxy granite cnc, and or epoxy milling machine, for examples. Super solid and fantastic looking machines made that way. I should also point out that those linear rails in this video are 2 pieces, which have an aluminum base that the rod lays in, and the rod is only held on by about 7 machine screws underneath, which should give you an idea of why the other rails that het bolted right down to the metal are a lot better for this kind of thing. I hope this info helps you or anyone else attempting to tackle this kind of project, as these are some of the mistakes I wish I knew more about prior to my build, and which are the direction I will be going for my next one I build after I learn about all of the problems this current one I'm almost done building has. I'm also repurposing an old brake lathe for mine as well, but swapped the AC motor on it with a large treadmill DC motor, and am running it in reverse, as the brake lathe usually sits backwards on the right hand side, and originally turns the opposite direction as metal lathes, so I flipped it around and rigged it up to run in the reverse direction. I only point that out, because I can't comment on the head and bearings situation on these home made lathes, but I can tell you that before I bought the brake lathe for cheap, I did purchase a 5 bolt wheel hub that I was going to mount the 5 bolts to the back of the box, and then use a pully to spin the shaft through 2 heavy duty bearings, one on either side of the box, and have the chuck plate attached to the hubs shaft, figuring that should work well considering that's kind of what it's meant for if mounted on a trailer, and with a heavy load as well... Anyway, that's what I was going to try until I switched to the brake lathe, but I am thinking of trying the wheel hub assembly idea for a CNC Milling machine next, after I finish the epoxy resin and sand lathe build.

Bravo! Video je apsolutno jasan i koristan. Odlično snimljeno. Samo nastavi, bi će ti mnogi zahvalni...
Meu amigo não use martelo de unha trabalhando na mecânica martelo de unha foi feito pra arrancar prego ok amigo disculpa ai tá FICA com Deus abraço
PARABENS MEU AMIGO MUITO TOP

Can you please share the size of the used chuck, is it 160 or 200mm?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
How much toleransion sir??
I think there is some resonance
like
10 time's better than Chinese mini lathe
Why did you use rod instead of linear rail and wagon?
right I replaced by hgr linear it works well than
