Very impressive. Had to go back and watch all of the build videos. Thought I would like to build a lathe myself, but am convinced that the amount of time required is more than I am willing to do. Great Job!!
Three things. 1. Awesome work with the cross feed setup. 2. Camera is looking good and the lights are spot on. 3. Like you said, for a home made lathe it is doing an absolute awesome job.
It has been a long time since i saw a young gun like yourself having such an enormous amount of determination and confidance . It is so motivating to watch you improve on your machine and succeed . I am an old timer living out here in South Africa
I am Brazilian and I followed step by step the construction of your lathe, it was very good, I am going to make one too and I intend to make the cross-cart automatic just like yours, the idea of cutting the nut in half was great, congratulations.
Thank you so much for all of these videos and for taking the time to show so many of the steps and talking about how much time you've spent doing it all. Now I can feel comfortable about not building one myself because I don't have nearly the amount of time you've spent on this. Congrats on getting it to work so well.
I just binge watched this entire build. And read some comments. There were a LOT of negative comments. ‘That won’t work’, ‘you’ll never get a good cut with that’, ‘a lathe can’t be built’, etc,,,etc.... And to be honest, I cringed more than once watching. However, I would be curious to know how many of your ‘nay-sayers’ have built anything remotely close to the size and complexity of this build. I love it that you proved them all wrong. Good for you. Keep up the awesome work. And I also just subbed.
every time you hear someone say "you cant". they are actually saying that they are insecure about that when they imagine them self doing it. i also made a metal lathe from my wood. and same how you correct your workpiece (clock), i can adjust my cutter the same way. if they are perfect i screw the nuts tight. and leave the metal cutter on it untill i want to do something with wood again. than i have to remeasure it takes 5 min -.o no big deal.. i would say it can be done. and i found my own way what works as accurate as a new metal lathe
@@VileStorms lol I have a lathe from the 40s... There were metal cutting lathes being mass produced for decades by the 1860s that anyone could go and buy... The average craftsman back then was a lot more capable logistically than the common "maker" nowadays .. ik what u meant but that comment gave me a giggle .
To Rather B welding, To me this is the BEST diy video serries I ever watch ,your home made Lathe are the best in all You Tube lathes : all the parts you used were from junk shop - they are not perfect but you find a way to make it work. your ways and techniques are the good guidance for the amature diy people like me. Your explainations were clear, simple, hummor & humble- far better than any professional teacher. You are young, still in trade school ? But very sharp and practical .I hope you still have time to show us how to make more tools . Thanks a lots.
What you have accomplished is straight up inspirational! Mirroring what others have said, this is how modern precision tools came about by Innovating and improving.
Maybe a little too late say but I really like your videos. I’m a mechanical engineer and I always find reason I can’t do something. I really like the way you tackle everything and keep a positive attitude! Keep on building, welding, grinding, and cutting! I’ll keep on watching! BTW, I want to build one just like yours!
Good on you. Just "Good on you" for doing it and making it so successful. You have judgement and the right attitude. Love it all. You started with what looks like a pretty reasonable chuck. The de-chucking and re-chucking of the aluminium pulley in the other video worked so well, with such little runout, considering the number of times you had that thing mounted -just indicates it's pretty good. Yep, I appreciate it very much.
and watch a lit of these videos about guys making stuff . I had to make a lot of stuff to compliment my line of work and i enjoyed every moment . I wish you success with all your projects and keep at it with that lathe you are doing just awesome .
I remember about 25 years ago when I was in the same position you were in with this project and all the mental gymnastics I did trying to figure out how to get the materials and tooling I had on hand to make the lathe I wanted to make. It would have been different than yours, but I am not sure how much if any better it would have been. I ended up buying a Chinesium 13x40 and it has been a pretty good machine, but I still admire the hell out of yours. Keep up the good work! :-)
I am a retired R/D aircraft engineer this lathe you have made is really top class you should do well in the engineering trade. The carriage which is moving along the lathe base plate. Try this obtain some thick white felt (1/2 inch thick) cut 2 strips about 1/8 to 3/16 wide. length of strips being the lathe base plate width secure felt to carriage base plate only (Chuck side and tail stock side) with thin brass strip & screws ,make sure brass strip is just touching lathe slide base surface but felt is firm on said. Oil felt well. AS you move carriage along this will keep out chips from getting between the moving surface, plus will improve the sliding action of slide. You might be able to do the same on compound etc. Remember to oil felt once a week if you use lathe a lot. Clean lathe face reg to prevent crude build up. Keep the improvements going .
Hey just jumped on your channel because I’m trying to make my own lathe metal machine and by far yours have gotten my attention that I subscribed very impressive for a young man to do kudos to you and your video quality is great thanks for sharing your knowledge I will use your ideas thanks buddy great job
I want to say i am very impressed with your work on this lathe and how you have adapted to changes that impacted your design. I have a suggestion about the mounting of the chuck. There is a recessed area on the back of the chuck, you can turn the back plate so that it fits in that recess area with a lip .This will allow you to attach the chuck centered without the run out that you have now. You could use the same method of mounting you used at the first chuck mounting stage. Your ideas have changed my thinking when it comes to ( bed travel and way design). Thank you
The truth is that your lathe is much better than what I have, which is no lathe and the need to do many small projects that your lathe could accomplish. very good build. I will be looking closer at doing the same.
great job. I'm a mold maker and I'm impressed by your mechanical mind able to be creative with your set ups. You have inspired me to also get in the garage and build something. For me it's wood working. Keep doing what you're doing. THUMBS UP!
es ist eine Drehbank ! Das Bett ist nicht geschabt und so weiter und so fort . Ich bin Zerspannungsmechaniker und was er da gebaut hat ist völlig in Ordnung innerhalb einer Toleranz . In diesenVideo hat er eine Schloßmutter nachgestellt und eine Gewindestange eingebaut . Yippieh + Riemenscheiben . Sein Problemwird natürlich später sein , das er nur einen VORSCHUB hat (Ich hoffe er ändert dies , allein schon um Gewinde drehen zu können oder gezogene Läufe zu drehen / räumen . Das was Er jetzt aber schon hat , ist ausbaufähig und er hat nicht am MAterial gespart , es ist eine SOLIDe Basis , die er nach und nach noch PRÄZISER machen kann . Gute Drehbänke fahren 5/100 mm . Ich hoffe er hat einen Drehstrommotor verwendet 380V
Great project. I'm busy building my own lathe at the moment and you are definitely showing me the ropes. Strangely enough , I'm also using an "I" beam similar to yours but it is oriented the other way. Thanks for a great video.
Great video The new camera rocks and great sound and lights. You should be very proud of the tools you have made You can see the attention to detail and craftsmanship you put into your lathe. Great job
Nice video quality. The finish looks good i'm amazed for a home made machine. I seen someone use a mig wire motor and controller for an automatic feed unit on a lathe you can then adjust the feed with a simple twist of a knob.
Honestly I like all your steps in building your own lathe amazing giant project thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge etc. We have a proverb back home in Algeria "when the fox cannot reach the grapes in the high vine tree he says the grapes are sour" meaning dont listen to the negative comments and go forward you doing very well. Keep inproving and studying. Knowledge is from the cradle to the grave God did not create the perfection in this world. Remember people always laugh about what they dont understand long vision is a gift and isn't given to all. Keep going Bro no TURNING back
Impressive and inspirational home made lathe and you are developing quite a range of skill sets. I think that you would be a worthy winner of one of Keith Fenner's Toolboxes. Make sure to enter.
Awesome video the upgrade is sweet. Really good for a home made lathe the feed idea is so perfect and easy. Sure you spent some R&D time getting that to work so good.
Привет!!! Случайно попал на твоё, видео о токарном станке. С первой части было, не очень отношение к затее. Но ты смог меня удивить. Видно что у тебя руки растут, из правильного места. Все просмотрел с восхищением. Ты очень крут. Мало кому такое дано. От меня тебе респект и уважуха.
Just for reference, conventionally what you have made there is called the longitudinal feed, the cross feed would drive your cross slide, in the other axis. Great job overall on the whole lathe btw
I love watching the entire build, very impressive job for homemade lathe. I had a production lathe that didn't do the job that yours is doing. congrats on a brilliant job..
Two more ways to manipulate the speed are: changing the thread pitch on your threaded rod to a courser (larger) thread and/or changing the Drive pully to a larger size and the follower (attached to thread rod) to a small pulley. I know you said you have the biggest but look into evaporative swamp coolers and you'll find more. Just ideas... you did an outstanding job.
Well done to you young man! All I can say is that you are in an elite group. You will use this tool to make better tools, your mind will now expand as it ponders better ways you have a begun a pathway that could lead you to endless possibilities. Please ignore the critics here and you just press on.
Dude ive just retired from 41 yrs in engineering trade and i have watched many vids on home made lathes , ive just watched all yours back to back awesome job buddy you should be well proud Glad to see you bought a tap wrench in the end 😁 do me a favour in the future STOP running your hands over metal fillings voice of experience speaking now good luck in the future son with your carrier 🤘🤘🤘
Alan Hardman I believe it is like a eccentric cam but slightly different in causing the wobble so it is more like a cam shaft in a car rather than a circle that has the point of rotation of center
would be cool if you tried to make some nylon gears im using inkscape program to make the gears and some math i´ve made 2 for my old joinville (brazilian southbend copy) lathe
Young man im thoroughly impressed with your abilities to create... God has blessed you with amazing skills and I do believe that he is going to do some great things through you in your lifetime amazing work of art!!! I've watched all the videos and it just makes me feel like wow you got some major skills... Jesus loves you and I am seriously impressed take care God bless
I thought you said it would drive the cross feed but that's the longitudinal feed...perhaps I misunderstood...the device for engaging the feed is very like the half nut on an engine lathe which is usually for thread cutting but you have put it to a different use...you have a good mechanical grasp...nice work
Hello!!! Accidentally hit on your video on a lathe. The first part was not really relevant to the idea. But you managed to surprise me. It is evident that you have hands grow from the right place. All looked with admiration. You're very cool. Few people is this. From me to you respect and uvazhuha. (online translator)
You should join Home shop machinist forum there is a thread following your build and a member who has tried contacting you that wants to give you some machine tools to help you along its nice to see someone younger with a passion and ambition to figure things out and get it done with what you have nice job man
What you need is a "Zero-Max drive". I've ran many machines that had them and they are great for low rpm applications like your lead screw. They have very smooth output and come in reversing models as well so you could power feed at any speed and in both directions. Look them up or build your own. They are basically 4 ratchet mechanisms 90 degrees out of phase with an adjustment arm that limits the stroke.
You should be given an award for that I don't know exactly what words should be used WOW just doesn't seem to say it good job and everything was good the lighting the camera use it was great
Seu torno ficou muito bom. Ótimo resultado. Esse sistema do automático ficou simples e eficaz, aprendi bastante com o seu projeto. Parabéns, já me inscrevi no canal.
I,m a self taught machinist and the most important thing to learn is fits and tolerances .. working clearancs are a world of their own..all parts only fit were they touch .. how hard you want them to touch is up to you..there,s a big difference between precise and not so precise..class of machine does not have a lot to do with it..
And a couple of Crescent wrenches... I am completely flabbergasted that you built such a precision machine, from scratch. Stunning display of talent young man. Let me also urge you to enter that give away!
I'm about 5 years late, but that was pretty slick. The lathe, camera, and lighting were all great. Good job!
Very impressive. Had to go back and watch all of the build videos. Thought I would like to build a lathe myself, but am convinced that the amount of time required is more than I am willing to do. Great Job!!

Awesome construction the good results are showing one step at a time. Well done. ;-)
When is started watching the home made lathe series I thought he's not gonna have a cross feed and now you have, amazing job!
Not only better video, better sound too! The feed turned out awesome... and I agree, for homemade lathe it is nice!

So many things you do brings back memories, great job, the thingy with the threads is called a half nut.
The lighting is fine...but the power feed is awesome! Amazing what can be done with just a few parts.
It is not the parts that do it but rather the planning and execution. The hard part is coming up with an idea that is easy to do.
So true!
It is an issue I am familiar with, as I struggle with it constantly.
This lathe is way better than the lathe I don't have! I've been looking at used lathes on eBay and wishing I had one....
Hi completely brilliant, lighting great video great and the lathe itself is awesome, well done.
Screw the camera and the lighting ..I like that lathe...Very COOL
Great video The new camera rocks and great sound and lights. You should be very proud of the tools you have made You can see the attention to detail and craftsmanship you put into your lathe. Great job

wow, impressive results from a machine that you have put together without any other real machine tools. Well done!
Dude, respect, this lathe is amazing!
I just finished my own DIY lathe then i came across your build and your ideas will help me a lot thank you
Very perfect home made lathe. Your idea is very intresting.
I'm not sure I'd go near it if it were running but I;m extremely impressed. Well done on the whole build.
I have been working on a lathe just like the 1 you made its the best home made lathe that I seen and I been looking hard
I'm pretty damn impressed. You pulled it off.
And yeah for a homemade lathe I'm impressed by that finish nice job
Me gusto el mecanismo que pusiste, estuve viendo todo el proceso. que chula de maquina hiciste. Felicidades mucho éxito.
Awesome video the upgrade is sweet. Really good for a home made lathe the feed idea is so perfect and easy. Sure you spent some R&D time getting that to work so good.

The VFD that someone suggested is a great idea and you won't need a gear change box
PERFECT .. Vid is clear audio is great .. Perfect job on the pulley sizes .. Thumbs up !!
I just love all your home made designed and built stuff, mate its' great
Really you are genie and you have a golden hands .... continued please
Ahmed from Algeria
Impressive with your work skills and your lathe... great job!!!!
Surprisingly good clean cutting of that steel. Which is the only way to see the finish is by really quality video.
Молодец! Такие как вы дают мне старт для своих самоделок!
I like the progress you've made.
excellent quality. impressed with your lathe
Yeah, it looks excellent. The lighting is great except for the lamp shining off the peg board. Good investment. That Redbeard fella knows his stuff.
Wow the camera made a HUGE difference. Very smart purchase!
Just for reference, conventionally what you have made there is called the longitudinal feed, the cross feed would drive your cross slide, in the other axis.
Great job overall on the whole lathe btw
Andrew B I thought the same thing. Impressive nonetheless
I love watching the entire build, very impressive job for homemade lathe. I had a production lathe that didn't do the job that yours is doing. congrats on a brilliant job..
very good with so much creativity
You sir, are an impressive human being. Fantastic.
Yes,amazing!
Very impressive my friend!I enjoy watching this series of homemade lathe...very good job!

That is something you should be proud of bro, it's simply amazing how well you did with it. I've watched every video now I'm moving to your others.
The video - quality is a lot better with the new camera and the new lighting... good work on the lathe though :)
Well done to you young man! All I can say is that you are in an elite group. You will use this tool to make better tools, your mind will now expand as it ponders better ways you have a begun a pathway that could lead you to endless possibilities.
Please ignore the critics here and you just press on.
Damn. This is such an impressive project. Enjoyed all the videos. Raw talent at work! Good video production to.
Very interesting, been following your builds. Watching from North Bay Ontario, Canada.
Dude ive just retired from 41 yrs in engineering trade and i have watched many vids on home made lathes , ive just watched all yours back to back awesome job buddy you should be well proud
Glad to see you bought a tap wrench in the end 😁 do me a favour in the future STOP running your hands over metal fillings voice of experience speaking now good luck in the future son with your carrier 🤘🤘🤘
Great job on your lighting and your added feed control
very clever mechanism that half nut making a ineccentric cam to hold that rod down would do! great work! greetings from brazil!
sacrip tex - What's an ineccentric cam?
Alan Hardman I believe it is like a eccentric cam but slightly different in causing the wobble so it is more like a cam shaft in a car rather than a circle that has the point of rotation of center
would be cool if you tried to make some nylon gears im using inkscape program to make the gears and some math i´ve made 2 for my old joinville (brazilian southbend copy) lathe
Young man im thoroughly impressed with your abilities to create... God has blessed you with amazing skills and I do believe that he is going to do some great things through you in your lifetime amazing work of art!!!

I thought you said it would drive the cross feed but that's the longitudinal feed...perhaps I misunderstood...the device for engaging the feed is very like the half nut on an engine lathe which is usually for thread cutting but you have put it to a different use...you have a good mechanical grasp...nice work

I have been watching you form the start very good now all you need is a mill and a band saw .
And a couple of Crescent wrenches...
I am completely flabbergasted that you built such a precision machine, from scratch.
Stunning display of talent young man.
Let me also urge you to enter that give away!
yes and no dove talling too he know s some things
Looks good and the self feed on the ur lath looks and works good. I wish I had one in my garage for making parts for the go parts in building
Man, you are a god. Amazing work
