Excellent mods! I would suggest getting a brush to remove the spoil, rather than using your hand, as the shaving has the potential to get caught in the chuck, and it would cut you to the bone, taking most of the flesh from your fingers, within a millisecond. Or, use compressed air to blow it out of the way. Safety first!
After seeing so many really bad pieces produced by this very sketchy machine, it's good to see that, like the ubiquitous CNC engravers, you really CAN make real things (though very slowly) with it.
Hello. Very nice job !! Congratulations. How do you compensate the backalsh of screws (which is to my knowledge quite important on those machines (almost 0.2mm). Thanks !
Amazing results! I have the barebones lathe you're modifying in the video and would like to know which other cutting 'blades' you're using? Were they hand made/ ground to shape yourself, or is there somewhere we can purchase them. Mine only came with the one (square-ended piece of hardened stock).
Unfortunately, I made it without drawings, so there is no data. Recently, I'm thinking of making a 5-axis CNC on epoxy granite. But it is very hard job. so Before that, I'm thinking of making the frame of this lathe out of epoxy granite and releasing the data as a test. What do you think?

LinuxCNC (formerly Enhanced Machine Controller or EMC2) is a free, open-source Linux software system that implements numerical control capability using general purpose computers to control CNC machines. Designed by various volunteer developers at linuxcnc.org, it is typically bundled as an ISO file with a modified version of 32-bit Ubuntu Linux which provides the required real-time kernel.
Blowing away the cutting chips is problematic. The place where I am working is a normal room. There is a desk for my child to study, and for my wife wiorking where I work, so I can't leave cutting chips in the room .
@@a-cnc-f ty for responding, you remind me quite a bit of myself, I have joined your membership to try to help you out, I wish you the best of luck and if you need something maybe I can help, let me know, I’m in Hawaii
To use a stepper motor for thread cutting is a great idea. It gives big torque at low rpm. Also it does not require a spindle position sensor then. You should try if it is pissible in your software to advance the thread cutting tool not straight, but under 29 degree. Then it makes chips just on the front cutting edge. This reduces cutting force and torque.
Hi, loved the video. Just wanted to ask a question. Is that the stock motor you are using, and if so what did you do for make the speed controllable? Just that i have this lathe and wanting to do something like that. thanks!

what do you mean? you mean is How do I check the actual movement amount and the movement amount on the program? If so, it can be confirmed by measuring the actual amount of movement with the dial cage.
@@a-cnc-f i will talk in 3d printer language . #1 how would you calibrate E step of the stepper motor ? #2 how do you make the system know where the tool is #3 is it a system you need to set where 0 is?
3d printer language = G code, M code Beaglebone = one board PC machinekit (linuxcnc) = OS that can be cnc (Computerized Numerical Control) This machine works with machinekit (linuxcnc) installed on beglebone. The stepping motor is set in the INI file in it. An ordinary CNC machine has an origin switch, which determines the origin of the machine. This machine does not have an origin switch, so I can set the origin as you like.
Thank you for interest. Software is Linuxcnc. I didn't use CAD and CAM for this. I manually made G-code. Sorry, I don't have time to create the tutorials, because concentrating to create 5axis video series.
Amazing work. You need more visibility on youtube. If you can, mine is only a suggestion, show more of the process, remove the audio and leave the beautiful sound of cnc machining when the video is real time. It will be fantastic if you make a "shopping list" (like a simple excel) for the 5 axis machine and the lathe whit the upgrades that you made. Great job.
Thank you for your advice. Regarding mechanical sounds, some people have commented that I want to stop the music and listen to the mechanical sounds, so I will do so from the next time. I would like to think about the parts list in the future.
Just found your channel, this is something I might be interested in building for myself, especially to do some reverse threading for some bicycle parts. Have you released the CAD files for the new plates?
I think 3018 is not strong enough. The reason I chose the 3010 should be that the stroke of each axis is short and the frame is small so it's strong. The longer the linear shaft, the lower the strength.
nice, you must like the mini machinea, i personaly wood not give them the money they wont for that little lath the smalist lath i have is the 10 x 14 and i got it for 100.00 but yes the speed controller was burnt and and all the plastic gears where tore up but for 80.00 i got all metal gears including all change gear for the speed controller i put something way better the that 200.00 cheap speed controller, mine is off a scooter 24v and speed controller is way more durable then the stock board that allway burns out.

the problem with all the Chinese machines is no one has a proper fittings gib i finely figured out y they go out of adjustment they put in gibs they have on the shelf instead of making a proper gib.
Why music ? Why not just the tool and metal sound ?
Really really good you know you’re stuff. The music did me in so I turned my volume off. Nice good 👍💪
I liked seeing that such small motors can be used to make such large forces using reducers.

Hello. Very nice job !! Congratulations.

As for backlash, I use Linuxcnc's backlash correction function.
Does the belts on the steppers flex much when steel is machined? I guess I'm wondering about the mechanical tolerances of the CNC.
This lathe has the ability to lathe steel, but the machine is not strong enough for stable processing.
Amazing results! I have the barebones lathe you're modifying in the video and would like to know which other cutting 'blades' you're using? Were they hand made/ ground to shape yourself, or is there somewhere we can purchase them. Mine only came with the one (square-ended piece of hardened stock).

The cutting tool used in this video is HSS.
I made it myself.

What electronics are u using?
I used Machinekit for this one.
awesome build, what cnc software are you using to run the lathe?
I prefer Linuxcnc, but I think the easiest is Grbl.
hi, great build! Do you have an stl for the motor mounts that go on the end of the axis? Particularly the mount at 3:30 ?
Unfortunately, I haven't created STL data for the parts.
Are you selling those kits?
No I am not selling it.
This is some evil genius shit! Bloody awesome!!!
Selling the kit for conversion by chance?
I have no plans to sell that.
Should you please have PDF and STL for your editing? I would also like to make a transfer there. but I do not know how

How about a refillable spray can and fill it with air to blow the chips away
