CNC Attachment for Manual Lathe
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 เม.ย. 2021
- Here is CNC setup for my old manual lathe, Colchester Master 2500.
My system utilizes the compound slide as longitudinal movement and an additional cross slide placed in lathes own tool post.
The unit very easy to drop in for a CNC operation. Sometimes the part can be mostly done by manual maneuvers, but e.g. a fillet feature needs CNC intervention.
The 3D-assembly model can be found here: grabcad.com/library/cnc-attac... - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Way cool! Found an alternative universe “ Öld Tønī ” in the process
For sure!
It's scarier: This Old Toni Iommi
What a fantastic idea. You have created the best of both worlds. The flexibility of a manual lathe and thr repeatability of a cnc. I have the Triumph 2000 and it's quite rare to see the larger Colchesters on TH-cam. Very well done.
The editing, script, machining, engineering, design -- everything is top notch. I feel honored to have witnessed the masterful performance of a modern-day Leonardo da Vinci in these dire times.
I'm glad you liked and thanks for kind words! I'm flattered and da Vinci would probably be offended.
What a bloody good engineer you are Sir! That is a fantastic ultra modern upgrade for a venerable old British lathe! Thank you for sharing this with us. I have just found your channel and already subscribed!
I appreciate your sense of humor. Great flex at the end too!
Really impressive! Especially the demo in the end.
Very impressive. I love the fact that it is removable. Good idea. Great job!!
Ok.... that was overwhelming! Amazing work, utterly humbling to watch.
What a cool approach to go from manual to CNC and back in only a few quick steps!
This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your design and making such an enjoyable video!
Puns are as masterful as his machining. Great work all around.
This was great! Thank you so much for the fun. The stamp was fantastic. Subscribed.
Hello Kerkko, your talent is as great as your generosity. Thank you very much
Tervä,
Supergreat Concept, Build and Share! Thanks! Looking forward to seeing and learning more from you!
Beautiful production and photography, and awesome engineering. A really enjoyable experience, and I'd love to see more!!
That's one of the best conversions I've seen I'm looking at getting a mini lathe and looking into making it cnc as I run cnc's in my job
This is a very well thought out design which requires much less modification to the manual machine than I had envisioned possible. Now I only need to dream of finding my own Colchester
Amazing engineering with great results. Nicely done Sir!
Such a great idea! Nice humor in the video as well!
Kerkko, I simply have no right words to appreciation for your achievement. You have turn an age-old lathe into a very modern machine with possibilities limited only by your imagination. The second thing that should be emphasized is that for simple turning works the CNC attachment can be easily disassembled. An elegant and effective solution.
I am extremely impressed.
Wow, great build and video editing!
Wow. I enjoyed your video. A great way to cnc a lathe with out wrecking it. Thanks Bradley
It's one of those "Why didn't I think of that?!" moments. The most ingenious ideas are so simple and obvious, they are overlooked.
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen, just subscribed, more please-thank you very much! Well done ✅👍
Thank you Michael, I'm glad you liked! I have some less epic projects going on, but it will take a while until I can find the time to finalize the projects and the videos.
@@kerkkonenahaima7322 I’m looking forward to enjoying them-Thank You Very Much! Be well 👍
Ditto
Just came across this video: That is a brilliant approach! Also the the presentation is excellent and funny!
So I had to subscribe. Thank you!
You have a great sense of humor. Very funny 😆
Absolutely stunning work thanks, that stamp blew my mind 🤯
Hope your mind will heal allright! That part was meant to be one of those TH-cam-moments, where you have wasted several minutes of precious watch time and disappointed with the completely useless result!
@@kerkkonenahaima7322 actually your video worth every second to watch, and its not all about the result, the techniques and the idea that lead to that result is very very useful, again thanks for sharing!
Man that's awesome work
You deserve millions of views for this fantastic video
We'll see about that, but thank you for watching and kind comment!
Excellent work! We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week and people really loved it 😎
Thank you, I see a nice spike in the TH-cam statistics for views from HomemadeTools.net😍
@@kerkkonenahaima7322 Good to hear. Let me know if you want a free premium forum membership, and you can post your videos on our forum whenever you want. We have many YTers doing the same.
@@homemadetools Thanks, I keep that in mind. My current project doesn't exactly fit on Homemade tools niche, but on my to do list there is plenty of relevant stuff.
One of the most enjoyable videos I've seen in a long time 🙌
Brilliant, can’t wait to watch more.
Beautiful work. Very cool idea
Hello. You show amazing and amazing things. A joy for the eye and the mind. Thanks.
Very impressive work! I also appreciate the humor and the excellent quality of the camera work. You should be called This Finnish Tony.
Thank you! Yes, the influence is obvious, but let´s not use that nickname until 1M subscriptions on this channel😜. Meanwhile use: Cheap copy of...
@@kerkkonenahaima7322 at least now you are 1 subscription closer to 1M. Looking forward to more videos.
What a clever idea. Very impressed.
Exceptional, true craftsmanship.
kiitos!!! Great idea. Now I am even more proud of being half Finnish!!! Keep this up, and you will be One of the biggest channels out there.
Kiitos, If You are by any chance Canadian by the other half you can only be in the winners side in tonight's Hockey finale!
Nice project. I have been planning to add a motor drive to my cross slide for a long time now, but my goal was to make smoother tapers. You take tis idea and run, no sprint with it. Nice!
Have you already seen this version for a precision power feed to compound slide: th-cam.com/video/uVlrfFkRLZg/w-d-xo.html
...I still think the timingbelt version is better😁
You are great , that machine makes excellent mould for every job
You're hilarious on par with This Old Tony! Nice job too! cant wait till you get the sensor working.
Thanks, but I would say only a cheap copycat. But it's hard not to get influenced while I spent whole COVID guarantee time watching TOT.
Amazing Video.!! Thanks for sharing your ingenious ideas.
Absolutely amazing and outstanding 👏
Awsome and inspiring work Master. Thanks for sharing :)
Absolutely brilliant!
Здравей. Невероятни и удивителни неща показваш. Радост за окото и съзнанието. Благодаря.
Благодаря ти!
Amazing work! Thanks for the video
Is very good this tools for lathes, congratulations. That simple
You sir earned another subscriber. Great videos. Keep em up.
Im so jealouse of your work... Amazing
Excellent video. Very informative & entertaining
Awesome channel and amazing work
When you open the beer at the end, that finalized it I need one of these, thank you so very much for making this video
Hss tooling will do fine for hobbyists, carbide for heavy users😎
@@kerkkonenahaima7322 Im a heavy user hobbyists :)
Very creative solution
I like what you're doing. Subscribed!
Wow, seriously well done!
Informative AND entertaining very well done, just wish I was that clever.
Simply BRILLIANT!
That was good to watch! You have some nice tooling. I've wanted a better lathe for several years now, and I know Colchester is a good brand. I like your CNC attachment. Seems to work very nicely. Congrats!
Thank you Paul!
I have certain allergy against Chinese machines, though I own some. Preferring western equipment has turned my workshop somewhat as a museum of technology. Many Colchester lathes have nice clutch system that engages the spindle, the motor runs all of the time. That gives silky-smooth starts and reversing for the spindle, this is very useful when single point threading without an indicator dial.
@@kerkkonenahaima7322 Colchester is definitely on my list for a good lathe. I did not know that the motor runs all the time. Have a great day!
Cool video, well done!
Outstanding video. Thank you for sharing.
The end the best part i've ever seen :)
love the channel , love your work
Excellent project and brilliant video skillz 😀
This is great - just what I was looking for. I want to make some anvils for my DIY english wheel. I would have never imagined your solutions. Thanks
This would definitively beat any mini-lathe on that. I would choose bigger motor for compound slide, the trapezoidal (Acme) lead screw has terribly bad efficiency under heavy loads. Material removal on large diameter steel parts can easily make the motor lose some steps and expensive stock is ruined.
@@kerkkonenahaima7322 Thanks for the information. Stay warm. Dave
Can you tell me what type of motors you used? Thanks
@@davethurston753 www.ebay.com/itm/283425207825
This works fine with the cross slide ball screw
very original MOD approach, thanks !
Wow, very impressive!
ES LO MEJOR QUE HE VISTO, USTED ES UN MAESTRO.
¡ Gracias !
I also want to say great job in the packaging so it is a cohesive product.
Thanks! Will not win any awards in that field, but blends in quite nicely with -70s Colchester design🤔
Wou! Nyt on hieno systeemi, käy kateeksi :)
Awesome job man!
fun an great craftsmenship, keep up the good work...
Amazing job!
This is just brilliant!
Excellent, my Mori Sieki 850G may become a CNC lathe now
Es lo mas ingenioso que he visto en mucho tiempo
Very nice my workmanship friend, and it’s nice to see old school blueprints as well, I began learning mechanical drafting in 8th year of primary school, and I fell in love with it on the first project assigned. Even though I’ve long since learned CAD, I still prefer to draft out my concepts by hand first & then go copy into CAD.
I work off of paper plans any day rather than off a computer screen, (even though it will have to be done if g-codes are needed). However once I have everything down and finalized, I always print a fresh copy and give it another study before I start to make a project, I just like the paper, & it’s handy to have if I conceptualize something new while in the process of a build, I flip it sketch it! Also ya got another subscriber today, looking forward to more fantastic ideas and videos!!!…
Thank you!
I'ts quite funny, that when you make a drawing in the CAD, you can stare it all day on the display, but while the printed sheet is still warm you have already found couple of missing important dimensions on it. Next you go to milling machine or lathe and wonder why the origins of the dimensions are awkwardly oriented wrong way around for the operation.
Open a bottle of beer under CNC control, in a lathe? Now I've seen everything...............and it was MAGNIFICENT!! Great video. Thanks.
I have two things I regret in that scene. One is that was made in the first place. The odour lingered couple of days in the workshop and had some guests wondering the origin. Second thing is the bottle should have being rotating and the cap should been formed out, It´s a lathe after all. Next time wiser. Thanks for your kind comment!
@@kerkkonenahaima7322 Have you considered a metal shaper for slicing cheese, a power hacksaw for slicing bread, a drill press-powered cork screw or a heat treating furnace pizza oven? All under Arduino control, of course. ;-)
Cheers,
F.C.
Simply wonderful
Fantastic idea
AMAZING WORKS
Amazing, thanks for sharing it.
Wow, great job!
Mahtava varuste manusorviin!
excellent modification
Koneinsinööri arvostaa! Asiallinen toteutus!
Kiitos! Ite olen valeinsinööri, mutta se oli kanavanimenä jo varattu. Sinullapa vasta on mielenkiintoisia projekteja, täytyy ajan kanssa ottaa katsontaan.
Great idea and very nice video 👍😀.
Is there more information or videos on how you build this or what parts you used ?….
Thank you for sharing this great idea 😀
This is brilliant
Excelente trabajo muy bueno👏👏👏
GENIUS!!! Love it
Very nice, thank you for sharing
nicely done
It’s so so clever!
It gives me so so many bad ideas.
Like more of that was what I needed… 🙄😆
ingeniously done. More details with plan would be great.
Love it. Cnc bottle opener.
Dudeson. I am in love w the same lathe. Lol.
Excelente, a pesar de no entender bien el idioma se agradece el aporte
Simple and great!
keep up the good work
Very interested in the Precision Feeding Dial. It would be an excellent improvement to my M300.
Incredible.
This is absolutely brilliant!
