Great job Trion! We have a lathe just like it in our shop. This video will now be part of our regular instruction for our high school machining students
I am learning it now. I thought I was supposed to barely take material off the stock again and measure the radius for each tool. No wonder I was getting parts that looked all slightly different. Just wish you explained distance to go when verifying how far the blade is from the part.
Very good video. It does make me wonder though what the point of a CNC toolroom lathe is. For production fair enough but I could produce this part just as easily on my old Colchester lathe in less time.
There's many many parts and shapes that you simply cannot do with a fully manual lathe. Plus with conversational programming it doesn't take very long to program a complex contour on a lathe.
You could do it much faster on this to without messing with camera and explaining. BTW, last time I asked the ratio "equipped TL-2":Proto Trak was 2:1. I really hope that you get "bang for the bucks" if you pay double... I am considering replacing our Harrison Alpha 460 for a TL-2 since need has changed, 3000 rpm would be nice and the space could be set to better use.
Finally a TH-cam video on running a TL-1 lathe. Good job!
Thank you for this. Considering buying one and was never sure how easy it was to jump from tool to tool and expect any decent results. Great help.

You're doing a great job teaching the basic tool offsets. Good job!
Thanks for the uploaded demo I am considering buying one this clears up alot of uncertainty
I’m also teaching machining during covid, this is a great video.
.You can push shift x or z from the jog page to unlock the servos. also has angle champer mode too

thks Trian, I have been using a hat cam go pro that clips to the bill of a baseball cap

Yes if you are making multiple parts obviously it makes sense but not so much for one offs.

Tools should be set off a consistent datum and then set work offset on piece of work.
Good ole machines without a tool probe :p
Excellent!!!
im not in your class but good video!
Super coooool 😎 thanks
Tl-1s the don..mod your z axis handle 2 the same as x axis relieves backlash and noise ...part off at 600 and hold part As about 2 drop
Run the spindle when you touch off the tools.
Could program and run this part 1/4 of the time with a proto trak lathe 😌

@@johanneslaxell6641 same, I priced an XYZ lathe with Prototrak, looks fantastic but twice the price, that doesn't work for me.
Krasava, nada bylo srazu
Hi Trian
canada or US ?
@@Sigma_Rules_Bros USA!
My Bad luck
I wish you were in Canada, I would have come and learn with you.
Doesnt seem a very accurate way of setting the offsets.
takes to long on a hass I'll stick with XYZ machinetool
Glad I’m not a prima Donna that has not talent. Cnc on losers.
so bad instruction
