Love seeing both the range of what can be done on a lathe, and also the shots where we can see your hands as you're working. Since I'm planning a small hobby shop myself, seeing this kind of lathe work shows me that I can get by without the mill for a good long while.
Was thinking about how to make something like this before, but didn't think of using that portion of the spindle for clamping yet. I might copy your design in some way, thanks for the idea.
Wow, nice craftsmanship! Very unique and clever locking mechanism. From time to time I thougt about a clever way to lock the spindle on these Mini-Lathes. But always have to discard my "idea", because it's to complicated or bulky. This is a very good, effective design. I plan to do it on the other side of the spindle, at the gears, and include a dividing disk... Maybe... Sometimes... Probably then, when I need it now and then I curse the past-me, because he didn't made it, as he had time... But as I said, neat design, I like to watch your videos. Keep going!
such nice work offset by the junkiest looking clamp for that rotary cutter... :) so junky i almost overlooked it being a jacobs chuck holding an endmill. :o lol... cams are fun :)
Very cool! How hard is it to change the chuck now though 🤔 maybe I just have fat fingers but it's already difficult for me to fiddle with the mounting nuts
You could have taken that arc welder, turned up the amperage and used that 6011 rod to cut the steel with it to make that circle. Just a FYI for future reference.
Dude, that was an awesome job. How is it that you’re a talented machinist enthusiast, yet…you haven’t built a milling machine, yet? I mean, if it helps, at Michael Uphoff’s channel he’s currently building a micro mill, you can probably get inspiration from and let your talent and magic hands loose. Nice job.
Nice work. Doing everything on a lathe was the norm, years ago. Do you have a faceplate? A faceplate, some packing, clamps, and counterweights allow you go do a lot of projects that seem impossible with only a lathe.
It might be worth protecting that part from rust. Depends where you are located but here in NC, everything rusts. LPS3, or Fluid Film are quick fixes. Black oxide is fairly easy but the aesthetic might not match your setup. A very fine finish is less likely to rust. Have you seen ROBRENZ's magic sanding block video? That would be one way to get a fine finish without a surface grinder.
the oldschool saddle with lots of slots and a 8inch+ swing is always a bonus... most of these modern import lathes have insufficient gap over the saddle, then the things so borderline thin theres no meat to slot it either... if im milling on the lathe i tend to do it the "standard way"... cutter in chuck. but yes... you are only limited by patience and imagination. and clamping methods... and swing... lol... and once you get a mill, its always too small anyway... (lol, even the one i used to operate that could take a freaking shipping container proved to be a tad too small on occasion...)
Something about this video made me nervous. Apart from being an insanely complicated way to put a brake on a lathe, it felt REALLY DODGY. And then I saw why, at 10:19 -- the mangled fitting on the tool post, evidence of something having previously crashed into the chuck jaws. No doubt he'd put on a new chuck since then. Horrible.
Very clever use of the lathe!!
Pretty cool! Something like this I have to do to my lathe too. Thanks for sharing your approach!
Thank you! And I have to make a dividing disk, I will have to largely repeat your approach)
@@WeCanDoThatBetter As a 40 year retired machinist and a lathe owner, this guy gave me ideas that I would have never thought about doing on a lathe!
You are very creative with the lathe. A real inspiration of what you can get done with a small lathe if you put your mind to it.
Thank you! Glad you liked it

This guy is wild with the lathe. That’s awesome.

Хорошая идея, правда слишком усложнена, (можно было просто сделать ленточный мли дисковый тормоз) но главное - результат!
Спасибо! Дисковый там особо некуда ставить
You definitely earned my sub! Impressive how you maximize the use of your lathe in so many ways ❤
Great idea, colleague👍👍👍
Very well thought out. Well done

You're right, changing the lathe chuck will be a little more difficult, but tightening the nuts is easier
@hammerland4028 probably more consistent torque on them too
Very clever. True engineer

"were already running full power capn! she canna do no more!"
lol, i miss having a 600A mig welder...
Wow!
Simply wow!

Everything has its time)
i like your style, congrats
Thank you!
Very Nice, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Respect!!😌
Слишком много свободного времени
Very nice!
Nice Polish coin.
Красиво и аккуратно
Milling machine? We don’t need no stinking milling machine!
This guy don’t need a Mill!

Thank you! I don't have a faceplate yet, but I'll definitely make one.
We have a very dry climate in the south of Ukraine, so there are no particular problems with rust

Merci
Could we see it working? Thanks.
In the next video I will try to make a dividing disk, and after that there will be a real application
Adesso serve anche il blocco del carro.... o il tuo tornio lo ha già predisposto??
Hai ragione, mi manca davvero questo dispositivo
Я так и не понял зачем надо было разрезать а потом сваривать?
So he could work on the matching parts, without shifting of these.
It's necessary for the precision of the hole for the spindle.
