New subscriber here. I acquired an older lathe that was cobbled together from a couple other ones just so I could have one to make parts for my small engine repair business on. I deal with lots of obsolete motors and machines. I need to modify my lathe to work wit a stepper motor such as the one you have here in this build. By the way Fantastic work my friend. I am recovering from a horrific accident that happened a little over 18 months ago on my 1957 Harley. I can walk now but it is time to get back to work and start the business soon after. The ability to program will be indispensable. Thank you, John
Mate, this is frankly astonishing. At several points, I thought "no way is that going to be square". firstly, I was sure that the frame wasn't going to be perfectly square, which would throw everything else out....then I was sure that your head stock construction wouldn't be perfectly square....and so on, right until the end. You must have some master craftsman level skill to pull all of that together and for it to work so well. And the double kick in the balls to us newbies is how fucking great it looks too! I watched the "Lets Learn Something" video on making a lathe and I thought the same thing about his construction....you guys must have some sort of extra instinct or special power to be able to put raw steel tube and plate together and it all end up square... Bravo!!
I'm glad you like it 😂Nah, but seriously - everyone knows it can't be PERFECTLY square. But at this point I think it came up pretty great. Measuring the angle between the spindle axis and Z axis in vertical and horizontal direction there is no visible angle in the horizontal plane and verticaly there is about 0,02 degree. I've spent some time adjusting it and I wasn't able to make it closer to zero. This makes about 0,08mm difference on the whole working space (using a dial gauge for measurements) if you measure the diameter of a 30h6 cylinder. Runout on the spindle - 0,03mm - pretty good in my opinion for such bearings used IMO. Let's learn something inspired me to make such a machine and I'm really happy with it - it's not perfect but for hobby use in my workshop it does the job. Thanks for watching! 😄
great build and nice color choice, my tools are all Sublime Green Metallic. I didn't think a homemade lathe would be a good idea due to complexity but this shows that if you build it as a CNC with a digital motor from the ground up then you may omit the complexity of speed changes and threading gear boxes. I will try this myself rather than converting a Grizzly lathe
Thanks! This is exactly right - the complexity of a gearbox would make it much harder. But a simple VFD / encoder and CNC controller does the job just right :) But stiffness might be the problem. You should consider converting a Grizzly lathe with adding the CNC aspect which might be a good idea
Patience, desire to complete build, focusing on skill set and good knowledge. It is you type of individuals who create and show that is joyful reason for spending productivity and time viewing You Tube. This makes me pray that some day myself or my off-spring will be as productive as you all have shown us. Awesome job and a great project. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟⚡
Делал лично 2 фрезерных станка, первый рабочее поле 500х800х100, второй рабочее поле 1500х1200х250. Делал на тяжелых 90-х профилях BOSCH Rexroth, ставил SKF ШВП и рельсы, т.е лучшее, что можно купить за адекватные деньги, не китайчатина. Так вот, уверенно могу утверждать, что промышленные чугунные станки будут и лучше и точнее, но немного дороже, раза в 2 всего то. Потому рекомендую при необходимости покупать только промышленные станки, а самоделки это чисто для души, потому что нравится мастерить.

This is really cool. Just curious but I wonder if you could increase stability by filling the hollow metal with a rock and epoxy mix to add weight and rigidity. But I have no idea if that would actually do anything, awesome machine. Will probably try to make my won one day.(can't right now, no place to put it :/_)
Epoxy - rock mix would be a good idea for vibration damping. But at this moment i need it to be mobile as i have lack of place as well so sometimes i have to move it a bit and mass wouldnt help here 😁
Hai fatto un lavoro incredibile e faticoso. Grande impegno e passione per la meccanica moderna (cnc), sei un ottimo carpentiere metallico. Ti faccio i miei complimenti. Tuttavia devo dirti che il bisturi e il coltello da carne servono entrambi per tagliare; ma sono sicuro che non ti faresti fare mai un bypass con il secondo attrezzo. Il Tornio è una meravigliosa macchina, frutto di millenni di esperienza. Nella meccanica di precisione( e il tornio è una di queste) l'elemento essenziale è la rigidezza e tu sai a cosa mi riferisco. Comunque grazie per la simpatica condivisione.
Sono consapevole che questa non è una macchina molto rigida. MA considerando che può tagliare passaggi di luce, può fare il suo lavoro per un piccolo laboratorio domestico aumentando notevolmente le mie capacità di lavorazione a casa. grazie per la visione! 😁
well it's a lathe th-cam.com/users/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.
A lot of hours condensed into just over an hour, end result looks great. My only thought maybe the tailstock may be a weak point, a lot of overhang may give rigidity problems, you could help this slightly by putting in a diagonal piece from the tip to the base although the most stiffnes is needed in the front to back plane.
Haha, it was a lot of work indeed. You're right - the tailstock isn't as rigid as it could be. A diagonal piece of metal could be quite necessary here. I''m really glad I'm getting so many comments about what upgrades I could do here. When I'll have some spare time I'll think about making some upgrades on the lathe making it more usable. Thank you!
That’s a beast of a lathe. You’re going to need a forklift just to move that thing. If you ever have to haul that beast somewhere, you’re going to need a box truck with a lift gate. I’d ask if you had any plans with dimensions for everything so I could build my own, but I think it would be too big for anything I’d want to fabricate. You did a great job fabricating it.
Amazing work! Very cleaver and congrats on your build. Appreciate your filming it for our benefit. Just one question - roughly speaking, how many total hours would you say that you spent on this project?
Craftsmanship to the highest standard,fabulous work mate,actually better than some of the factory built lathe machines.Definitely gonna give it a try to build one in my workshop,just to be away from the nagging wife.👍👍👍👍
Thank you! From the basic design to the finished machine it was like 5-6 months - during my free time after work - not every day though. I've got much inspiration from other people posting videos on youtube which made this built much easier. This community is really great and helpful.
Hey Man, you truly did an amazing work...!!! Thank you to sharing it with us. I would like to ask you about the software you have used to make a 3d model and adjust it according your need. Keep going ....👍
Es extraordinario tu torno, es mejor que cualquier torno moderno de fabrica que haya visto, fue un gusto y gran placer el poder ver tu video haciendo tu arte. siempre lo he dicho; quien puede se divierte!!!
Woahhh amazing! Worth it to watch aside from movie 👍🙏 you can inspired many through your video, it’s educational as well. Really amazing you do it alone! 🙏👍🇵🇭🇲🇾
Ottima realizzazione "Fai Da Te", ottima capacità e abilità nel lavoro manuale di costruzione e di messa a punto. Dato che il progetto è arrivato ad un buon livello migliorerei lo schema dei cuscinetti testa mandrino sostituendoli con un canotto e cuscinetti a contatto obliquo in bagno d'olio per avere più capacità di carico, silenziosità e precisione. In futuro si potrebbe migliorare anche la testa porta utensile ma questo ultimo aspetto e utile solo se si vuole aumentare la capacità produttiva. In ogni modo complimenti per l'ottima realizzazione.
Grazie! Sono contento che ti piaccia il mio lavoro. Apprezzo i tuoi suggerimenti: li prenderò in considerazione quando realizzerò un nuovo tornio CNC che è previsto. Ma questa volta probabilmente userò un mandrino di una grande fresatrice manuale.
Wooow! I was like a boy with his favorite cartoon the entire hour!, gorgeous! A few questions: how much did this project costed? How much time did you invest building it? Would you share the 3D model? Thank you for such a beatiful video. Keep it up man!
This project was made like 2 years ago. It cost about $1300 back then and about 3 months for spending my free time after work. I share all 3D models / plans I have with patrons of this channel. Feel free to join if you'd like to take a look :) Thanks for watching!
Incredible work! Can you please roughly tell what is the cost price for all the metal (sheets, bars, angles) you used. I think in my country buying Lathe will be cheaper than all the materials for assembling by yourself.
About ~$1300 when I was building it. Now more for sure. But for me the most important thing was to learn things. Now I have much more knowledge and a lathe which is maybe not the most efficient one but for my small workshop work - it does the job at this moment :)

He clearly works at a factory building these. He just made a home version. All the parts are free. Because you can buy one cheaper. However I respect you doing so. I would too if I could
Great work, but is it all controlled by PC? Even the filleting routines? you give him the shape of the piece and he does everything? Congratulations,.. very good!!
Yes it is controlled by PC with LinuxCNC. All the motion is controlled by it - any pre-designed part which can be made by a lathe. Glad you like it! :)
Wow man. Beautifully done. One comment and two questions. When nig welding you don't have to wiggle your torch left right, only for bigger gaps. Question is. What is the runout on the spindle? Is it heat treated? Thank you, God bless. Greetings from Slovakia. 🙋
I think it is not a mistake to wiggle it a bit anyway? But when there are big gaps then it is pretty handy :) About the questions - spindle runout is about 0.03mm. Not that terrible if you know what kind of bearings are up there in my opinion 😅I didn't heat treat the spindle. For workshop it works just fine. Thanks for watching and greetings from Poland! Stay safe
@@GBWM_CNC Thank you and thanks for the inspiration. I am building manual lathe but I ordered factory made spindle. I have no machine to build it on anyway. Hello from Slovakia/Canada and God bless.

Fantastic build process. It looked like you had an auto-darkening shield for your camera on some of the welding footage. Spare welding mask? Great idea LoL. A few things confused me. Why such a large motor for this lathe? I read what you said about why you built the headstock with those bearings, but I figured that you'd quick be turning a new spindle and converting to preloaded tapered bearings. The next thing was the size of your cross slide and carriage. How big a swing do you have? In the end it seemed like a waste of expensive precision plate. As things proceeded early on I was thinking you were building a larger lathe and then was confused by the Z axis rails. The cleverest ideas though.. grease fittings! Yess!. A tool post and collet chuck side by side! Another great idea for working small parts. Ok.. so you are making some use of the extra travel. LoL. Since you're all CNC perhaps this is more useful being you can go back to exactly center the collet chuck. I did notice your first cut of the spindle mounting plate your tool was way off vertically. Then you fixed it later in that sequence. 😂 I was wondering too about the bed when saw the C channels being welded. I was thinking.. that's NOT flat enough by any means. I was waiting to see your "flatten the bed" sequence with you scraping the bed flat and checking it against the spindle axis. I was expecting a flat plate or at least scraping the bed to get it close. Alas, aluminum rails will never be rigid enough so it probably didn't matter that much in the end. Still a heck of a build. Congrats! I'm contemplating something similar. I was thinking DROs and steppers. Are you calibrating the CNC software off of the limit switches? Is that sufficient for accuracy? I'm very curious about that because you aren't using synchronous motors. CNC without DROs would save quite a bit on the budget! Thanks!
Oh, that was an detailed analysis! So... I have dark welding glasses just for the filming purpose. That motor was so big to have higher torque on lower RPM for threading while using a VFD (without no additional gear-reductions). At first I was about to make a new spindle soon after making this one... But after figuring out how many things I'd like to change - I decided to make a completly new lathe with the experience gained with the first one. Yeah - the precision plate was quite but - mainly to have the additional tools chuck. Btw you're very observant! Yes - I had to adjust the height after the first cut, lol! And you're exactly right - those rails were not rigid enough to work very well in the end but that was quite good to mount them on the C-beam surface. But in the end the precision on the whole length was really good to be honest (in my opinion). About calibrating - depends on your accuracy needs but I'd rather set the work coordinates from your stock after the first manual pass (that's how I do it). After that I'm set for what I needed. The stepper motors with the right drive setup should work well unless you're aiming for microns - then you will need some kind of DROs th chase the microns which run away for example when your ballscrew heats up. There are many variables there! :)
parallelism was checked with a dial indicator attached to one of the linear bearings and I measured the opposite rod if the distance is the same on the whole range of motion. The straightness - you mean if the height is the same everywhere? if yes - here is the problem. I trusted the c-beam (on the Z axis) and there are little off-sets sadly. The Z axis was mounted on a flat face milled plate so it should be right :)
@@GBWM_CNC thanks 2 you my friend, the world needs more of US ...#engineers will save the world and you're a part of that reality by inspiring other 2 build it for themselves. -ER
A wonderful home made build machine, i only have 1 bad point, The tail stock, your losing a lot of space, i would revise it and make it shorter and have it so you can adjust the length (wind in and out ) apart from that a big thank you for making a great video with so much detail.
Hi, congratulation. You're very very very very good. I have a question, what's the name of the parts threaded in at 46:46 ? Could you give me a reference of where you have bought them?
Thank you! The parts im putting together there are 2 pipies (the second one is a precision pipe fo actuator cylinders) and the third part is a D25-MT2 Sleeve bought from our chinese friends.
Love the build. What metals is it capable or turning? Also does it support manual? I didn't see any handles. Finally are there instructions and BOM with the step files, or is it more of break down the file and watch the videos?
It does in aluminium pretty well and soft steel like s235 with shallow passes. It supports "manual" but it works like - press arrows to go where you want. There are no handles but you can controll it manually from the keyboard. At this moment there is only a step file for it as I can't find time to make fine instructions for it. Maybe during this holidays I'll have some free time to make it.
Enjoyed this one, kudos for the editing and sound effects too. The lack of washers did trigger me though. The HUGE spindle drive motor made me chuckle, but hey use what you got I guess....🤔😳😏😏🇬🇧

man, outstanding, what is your background? like college/university program or trades school where you went into? just curious what it takes to learn something like that, you gotta have technical background for sure
I've been at a technical school and now studying technical engineering. But let's be honest - most of what I learned is from my own practice / internet. The school just introduced me to the topic a bit.
Good work. Thank you for your efforts, everything is great. My request from you is where and how can I access the drawing files of your lathe. I want to do the same. I would be very happy if you share the link. Thank you very much in advance.
Do you think the carriers make to much chatter or would you go with a different kind in hide sight, to turn the chuck on, for what it has to carry, the inertia and speed it turns or do you think what you have is good, even better then you thought, your thoughts would be appreciated thanks brother
Next time if I make a next lathe (probably i will do) I would use shaped linear rails like the HGR series for example - these are MUCH more rigid for a bit more money. But it will be worth it. The bearings for the spindle are not the best idea too - roller bearings would be nice with a stiff housing. It would prevent a lot of chatter. The downside of roller bearings is that you've got to have a lathe to make a proper spindle shaft (I didn't have at that time so I had to use usuall pipe or pay a lot for making a shaft and the purpose of this project was to make it cheap :D ). These are my thoughts after making it. But anyway if I make light cuts it allows me to make a lot of operations.
Hello! Thanks for watching! If I had to do it again I would definitely save a bit money for better rails - HGR type or something similar. Also the bearings in the spindle unit. This is really a budget solution. If I had access to a lathe I would definitely make the shaft in a way which would allow me using tappered roller bearings. And the last thing is the surface under the Z axis rails. Hot rolled C-beams aren't perfectly flat. I'd use cold drawn flat bars under the rails or precision aluminium sheet metal as the base. Or if I had access to a mill then of course face milling the surface under the rails would do the best job. All depends on the budget 😁
Czy myslisz ze lepszym rozwiazaniem byłoby silnik elektryczny dać poza ramą? Silnik z pewnością generuje jakieś wibracje co pewnie wpływa na stabilność i dokładność. Konstrukcja nie jest pewnie zbyt ciężka jak w przypadku duzych obrabiarek.
Hmm ciekawe. Chodziłoby o zamontowanie go np. na oddzielnej konstrukcji / podłodze / ścianie? Sam w sumie silnik chyba nie wytwarza zbyt dużo wibracji w porównaniu do silników spalinowych na przykład :D Fakt faktem konstrukcja nie jest mega ciężka ale sama praca silnika chyba ma stosunkowo niski wpływ na dokładność obróbki. Bardziej rodzaj łożysk, sztywność konstrukcji, rodzaj prowadnic itd
Hi Again does your lathe machine steel with a good finish . I am very interested in building one if it works well. I dont want to spend all that time and money if it will not turn steel . Many Thanks. Love your work.
Answering your question - it turns steel but if you're looking for tight tolerances or surface finish then it's not the way to go. You need a stiffer machine. I've already made some tight tolerance bored holes for bearings but I had to take a lot of passes to get good tolerance to fit a bearing. It's a cool machine to have for hobby work but if you want to be efficient - you have to look for something more rigid.
@@sofian3266 oh the last one. I think you mean the encoder? The one seen at 54:20? It is a sensor which sends spindle orientation info to the CNC controller (this makes possible thread cutting)
Lots of work into building your own lathe, well done. Few tips to improve. Weld a couple of rods in the head and fill the head with epoxy granite to reduce chatter from the head. Second fill the tubes on the bed also with epoxy granite as your lathe does not have enough mass currently and can clearly see from the video you are having chattering issues from lack of rigidity. It should improve the cut quality by a significant amount. The apron will be a lot of extra work to improve rigidity as you will need an extra 3 rail because you didn't go with linear rails that causes small movement in the apron from using round rod rails. Other than that this was a lot of work. Not a lot of people build their own lathe.
Thank you for your comment. You're right with the chatter. But filling with epoxy cant be done at this moment as i need it to be at least a bit mobile. But I'm planning on some improvement on it. Especially when it comes to stffiness. Thank you for tips!
Nice build and video. About to build me a lathe been watching all kinds of YT videos on what others have built. Have already built two CNC machines before. Not sure if i want my lathe to be CNC or not.
I wasn't sure if cnc mine or not but actually it was worth it. The possibility of setting up the work and leaving it to work is really comfortable 😁 also threading on DIY machines without cnc control is hard to use achieve i guess

@@miwarrr2248 Depends on your language. Should be next to the red "subscribe" button (on the left). Also I share these on my patreon (look up for GBWM on patreon dot com).
Hey man! This is a work of art 🎉 What is the thickness of the various pieces you used for the frame and the plates? I just saw you mentioned 20mm alu precision plate, but I’m not sure about the others 🤔
That was AWESOME!!! I was wondering if you have experienced ringing throughout the metal? I heard a couple of other guys talking about the metal making a ringing noise, and they figured it did that because it wasn't cast iron. Was thinking, if that was a problem, maybe filling the metal tubing and wherever possible, with sand?? Or maybe spray foam? Also, I was wondering if there's any unwanted movement from the linear rails? Have you had any problems with them getting loose after awhile? I was wondering if it wouldn't help to put a piece of steel on the sides as well that barely touches, or can be tightened, to snug it up a bit, incase it loosens and gets movement in the rails? Just like an extra support from side to side, to decrease movement?? I'm about to build one of these myself, and finally just got the last of the metal I needed for it, so kind of wanted an opinion on that first, so I could try to counter act it before hand... If you have any advise, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! So after some using of this lathe I can say - it is not stiff at all. It has vibrations etc. It can cut aluminium and barely steel but it covers usually my needs. The spindle bearings aren't good at all - it's hard but there are possibilities to make a spindle capable of roller bearings at home (instead of these). Tightening the rails helps a bit but I wouldn't recommend these as well if you'd like to work more with your machine. This was a cheap project which helped me to make many more machines but it has a lot of cons. If you can afford better equipment and have machining possibilities then I'd recommend using hiwin-like rails (much more stiffness), filling the metal tubes with some epoxy or sand (as you said), the spindle housing would be much better when made of castings but usually it's not possible to do it at home (more wall thickness would help though). I'll be starting a new cnc lathe project soon and I'm going to use an old milling machine spindle as a spindle for it, HGR-25 linear rails and SFU1605/2005 ballscrews with steel tube frame but I'm going to fill it up with some material which will affect the vibrations dampening. Lessons learned! :) So yeah - all depends on the budget you can afford, haha!
@@GBWM_CNC WOW, thank you so much for the reply with all of those details! I bought a "5 bolt 2000lb High-Speed Trailer Stub Axle", that I was going to bolt the 5 bolts onto the back of the housing, and use the shaft as the part that spins, and put the pully on it, then 2 lubed bearings on the inside and outside of the housing shaft hole before the chuck. I figured using the trailer stub axel in the reverse way like that would be perfect for this kind of thing, since there's no play at all in it... I did buy the rails already, but got the SBR20, and extra slider blocks, because I planned on using 4 on both sides, plus I figured I would ad steel that comes down on the side, and bottom maybe, now that you mentioned how much play there was, and have steel slid in between to tighten snug on the sides and bottom. I will definitely make it able to hold sand then as well then. Also, I will really thicken up the housing for it as you said. I guess all of this is a good start anyway, and once it's working, I can always tweak and change it as needed. Also, I saw someone add a mill above their lathe recently on youtube, which I planned on doing as well, with another high speed trailer stub axel like the lathe. They attached it to the housing of the lathe with thick square tubing, which would also help with the thickening and beefing up the lathe housing sturdiness, so it's a win win, hopefully. You were a HUGE help man, thank you sooooo much for all of this help!!!

@@GBWM_CNC I forget to mention one other thing I heard others say about reducing the horizontal play, where they suggested using 2 Ballscrew Nuts (one on either side of the connecting block, or 2 of those blocks) instead of one like usual. I'll try this as well, as it couldn't hurt.
As mentionted in the description - the whole cost of materials was about $1300. But that was about a year ago and now prices of pretty much everything are higher (at least where I live). The machining and assembly was all done at home so I didn't count it as it was done during free time as hobby

I've mounted the rails as perpendicular as possible to the headstock. Later the adjustment was made by loosening the screws on the UCF bearings in the headstock and moving the spindle around until the Z axis will be parallel to a H6 tolerancje cylinder mounted in the spindle (I was using the dial indicator to check the geometry). The X axis could be a bit adjusted on the holes connecting the X axis linear bearings to the compound rest.

I'm glad you like it 😂Nah, but seriously - everyone knows it can't be PERFECTLY square. But at this point I think it came up pretty great. Measuring the angle between the spindle axis and Z axis in vertical and horizontal direction there is no visible angle in the horizontal plane and verticaly there is about 0,02 degree. I've spent some time adjusting it and I wasn't able to make it closer to zero. This makes about 0,08mm difference on the whole working space (using a dial gauge for measurements) if you measure the diameter of a 30h6 cylinder.

Thanks! This is exactly right - the complexity of a gearbox would make it much harder. But a simple VFD / encoder and CNC controller does the job just right :) But stiffness might be the problem. You should consider converting a Grizzly lathe with adding the CNC aspect which might be a good idea
color is the most important propery of a lathe

Делал лично 2 фрезерных станка, первый рабочее поле 500х800х100, второй рабочее поле 1500х1200х250.
Делал на тяжелых 90-х профилях BOSCH Rexroth, ставил SKF ШВП и рельсы, т.е лучшее, что можно купить за адекватные деньги, не китайчатина.
Так вот, уверенно могу утверждать, что промышленные чугунные станки будут и лучше и точнее, но немного дороже, раза в 2 всего то.
Потому рекомендую при необходимости покупать только промышленные станки, а самоделки это чисто для души, потому что нравится мастерить.
Точно. Знания, полученные в ходе такого развлечения, бесценны.

This is really cool. Just curious but I wonder if you could increase stability by filling the hollow metal with a rock and epoxy mix to add weight and rigidity. But I have no idea if that would actually do anything, awesome machine. Will probably try to make my won one day.(can't right now, no place to put it :/_)
Epoxy - rock mix would be a good idea for vibration damping. But at this moment i need it to be mobile as i have lack of place as well so sometimes i have to move it a bit and mass wouldnt help here 😁
The headstock could be stiffened with steel plates. Welding metal to the outside risks heat distortion but bolted on plates might help.
Hai fatto un lavoro incredibile e faticoso. Grande impegno e passione per la meccanica moderna (cnc), sei un ottimo carpentiere metallico. Ti faccio i miei complimenti. Tuttavia devo dirti che il bisturi e il coltello da carne servono entrambi per tagliare; ma sono sicuro che non ti faresti fare mai un bypass con il secondo attrezzo. Il Tornio è una meravigliosa macchina, frutto di millenni di esperienza. Nella meccanica di precisione( e il tornio è una di queste) l'elemento essenziale è la rigidezza e tu sai a cosa mi riferisco. Comunque grazie per la simpatica condivisione.
Sono consapevole che questa non è una macchina molto rigida. MA considerando che può tagliare passaggi di luce, può fare il suo lavoro per un piccolo laboratorio domestico aumentando notevolmente le mie capacità di lavorazione a casa. grazie per la visione! 😁
well it's a lathe th-cam.com/users/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.
Did the blue loctite take the play out??
Good to see you using the same metal-cutting technique as This Old Tony.
He's got the best unique techniques
Sensacional, trabalho muito bem cuidado em todas as etapas, congratulações.
Fico feliz que goste! obrigado por assistir!😁
A lot of hours condensed into just over an hour, end result looks great. My only thought maybe the tailstock may be a weak point, a lot of overhang may give rigidity problems, you could help this slightly by putting in a diagonal piece from the tip to the base although the most stiffnes is needed in the front to back plane.
Haha, it was a lot of work indeed. You're right - the tailstock isn't as rigid as it could be. A diagonal piece of metal could be quite necessary here. I''m really glad I'm getting so many comments about what upgrades I could do here. When I'll have some spare time I'll think about making some upgrades on the lathe making it more usable. Thank you!

That’s a beast of a lathe. You’re going to need a forklift just to move that thing. If you ever have to haul that beast somewhere, you’re going to need a box truck with a lift gate. I’d ask if you had any plans with dimensions for everything so I could build my own, but I think it would be too big for anything I’d want to fabricate. You did a great job fabricating it.

Incredible work! Can you please roughly tell what is the cost price for all the metal (sheets, bars, angles) you used. I think in my country buying Lathe will be cheaper than all the materials for assembling by yourself.
About ~$1300 when I was building it. Now more for sure. But for me the most important thing was to learn things. Now I have much more knowledge and a lathe which is maybe not the most efficient one but for my small workshop work - it does the job at this moment :)

Yes it is controlled by PC with LinuxCNC. All the motion is controlled by it - any pre-designed part which can be made by a lathe. Glad you like it! :)
Wow man. Beautifully done. One comment and two questions. When nig welding you don't have to wiggle your torch left right, only for bigger gaps. Question is. What is the runout on the spindle?
Is it heat treated? Thank you, God bless. Greetings from Slovakia. 🙋
I think it is not a mistake to wiggle it a bit anyway? But when there are big gaps then it is pretty handy :) About the questions - spindle runout is about 0.03mm. Not that terrible if you know what kind of bearings are up there in my opinion 😅I didn't heat treat the spindle. For workshop it works just fine. Thanks for watching and greetings from Poland!

Fantastic build process. It looked like you had an auto-darkening shield for your camera on some of the welding footage. Spare welding mask? Great idea LoL.
A few things confused me. Why such a large motor for this lathe? I read what you said about why you built the headstock with those bearings, but I figured that you'd quick be turning a new spindle and converting to preloaded tapered bearings. The next thing was the size of your cross slide and carriage. How big a swing do you have? In the end it seemed like a waste of expensive precision plate.
As things proceeded early on I was thinking you were building a larger lathe and then was confused by the Z axis rails.
The cleverest ideas though.. grease fittings! Yess!. A tool post and collet chuck side by side! Another great idea for working small parts.
Ok.. so you are making some use of the extra travel. LoL.
Since you're all CNC perhaps this is more useful being you can go back to exactly center the collet chuck.
I did notice your first cut of the spindle mounting plate your tool was way off vertically. Then you fixed it later in that sequence. 😂
I was wondering too about the bed when saw the C channels being welded. I was thinking.. that's NOT flat enough by any means. I was waiting to see your "flatten the bed" sequence with you scraping the bed flat and checking it against the spindle axis. I was expecting a flat plate or at least scraping the bed to get it close. Alas, aluminum rails will never be rigid enough so it probably didn't matter that much in the end.
Still a heck of a build. Congrats! I'm contemplating something similar.
I was thinking DROs and steppers.
Are you calibrating the CNC software off of the limit switches?
Is that sufficient for accuracy?
I'm very curious about that because you aren't using synchronous motors.
CNC without DROs would save quite a bit on the budget!
Thanks!
Oh, that was an detailed analysis!
So... I have dark welding glasses just for the filming purpose. That motor was so big to have higher torque on lower RPM for threading while using a VFD (without no additional gear-reductions).
At first I was about to make a new spindle soon after making this one... But after figuring out how many things I'd like to change - I decided to make a completly new lathe with the experience gained with the first one. Yeah - the precision plate was quite but - mainly to have the additional tools chuck.
Btw you're very observant! Yes - I had to adjust the height after the first cut, lol!
And you're exactly right - those rails were not rigid enough to work very well in the end but that was quite good to mount them on the C-beam surface. But in the end the precision on the whole length was really good to be honest (in my opinion).
About calibrating - depends on your accuracy needs but I'd rather set the work coordinates from your stock after the first manual pass (that's how I do it). After that I'm set for what I needed. The stepper motors with the right drive setup should work well unless you're aiming for microns - then you will need some kind of DROs th chase the microns which run away for example when your ballscrew heats up. There are many variables there! :)
el detalle del mateeee papaaaa lo mejorrrr todo el power ahiiii
Cruz De Malta - Yerba mate argentina :)
Great work! How did you check straightness and parallel of slideways?
parallelism was checked with a dial indicator attached to one of the linear bearings and I measured the opposite rod if the distance is the same on the whole range of motion. The straightness - you mean if the height is the same everywhere? if yes - here is the problem. I trusted the c-beam (on the Z axis) and there are little off-sets sadly. The Z axis was mounted on a flat face milled plate so it should be right :)

@@GBWM_CNC thank you a lot have a wonderful day😊😊☺️☺️
Love the build. What metals is it capable or turning? Also does it support manual? I didn't see any handles. Finally are there instructions and BOM with the step files, or is it more of break down the file and watch the videos?
It does in aluminium pretty well and soft steel like s235 with shallow passes. It supports "manual" but it works like - press arrows to go where you want. There are no handles but you can controll it manually from the keyboard. At this moment there is only a step file for it as I can't find time to make fine instructions for it. Maybe during this holidays I'll have some free time to make it.

man, outstanding, what is your background? like college/university program or trades school where you went into? just curious what it takes to learn something like that, you gotta have technical background for sure
I've been at a technical school and now studying technical engineering. But let's be honest - most of what I learned is from my own practice / internet. The school just introduced me to the topic a bit.
Good work. Thank you for your efforts, everything is great. My request from you is where and how can I access the drawing files of your lathe. I want to do the same. I would be very happy if you share the link. Thank you very much in advance.

Już sam nie wiem czy lepiej zrobić tokarkę czy ploter frezujący... Btw super wyszło!
Zależy co jest potrzebne 😁 Jeżeli dla sportu to polecam ploter / frezarkę, bo więcej możliwości daje do zabawy 😁
Do you think the carriers make to much chatter or would you go with a different kind in hide sight, to turn the chuck on, for what it has to carry, the inertia and speed it turns or do you think what you have is good, even better then you thought, your thoughts would be appreciated thanks brother
Next time if I make a next lathe (probably i will do) I would use shaped linear rails like the HGR series for example - these are MUCH more rigid for a bit more money. But it will be worth it. The bearings for the spindle are not the best idea too - roller bearings would be nice with a stiff housing. It would prevent a lot of chatter. The downside of roller bearings is that you've got to have a lathe to make a proper spindle shaft (I didn't have at that time so I had to use usuall pipe or pay a lot for making a shaft and the purpose of this project was to make it cheap :D ). These are my thoughts after making it. But anyway if I make light cuts it allows me to make a lot of operations.
Exelente trabajo!!! Qué disfrutes ese mate !!! Saludos desde Argentina
¡Gracias! Me encanta la yerba. Gracias por traerlo a Europa :)
Hey. Great work! What would you do better if you had to do it again?
Hello! Thanks for watching!
If I had to do it again I would definitely save a bit money for better rails - HGR type or something similar. Also the bearings in the spindle unit. This is really a budget solution. If I had access to a lathe I would definitely make the shaft in a way which would allow me using tappered roller bearings. And the last thing is the surface under the Z axis rails. Hot rolled C-beams aren't perfectly flat. I'd use cold drawn flat bars under the rails or precision aluminium sheet metal as the base. Or if I had access to a mill then of course face milling the surface under the rails would do the best job. All depends on the budget 😁
@@GBWM_CNC I keep watching it. I appreciate your detailed answer. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Keep on good work!
Hey man! Question. Do you think hgr20 would be enough?
Czy myslisz ze lepszym rozwiazaniem byłoby silnik elektryczny dać poza ramą? Silnik z pewnością generuje jakieś wibracje co pewnie wpływa na stabilność i dokładność. Konstrukcja nie jest pewnie zbyt ciężka jak w przypadku duzych obrabiarek.
Hmm ciekawe. Chodziłoby o zamontowanie go np. na oddzielnej konstrukcji / podłodze / ścianie? Sam w sumie silnik chyba nie wytwarza zbyt dużo wibracji w porównaniu do silników spalinowych na przykład :D Fakt faktem konstrukcja nie jest mega ciężka ale sama praca silnika chyba ma stosunkowo niski wpływ na dokładność obróbki. Bardziej rodzaj łożysk, sztywność konstrukcji, rodzaj prowadnic itd
@@GBWM_CNC tak miałem na myśli na zupełnie innej konstrukcji.
@@marcinranoszek64 Ciekawy pomysł. Chyba nawet nie widziałem jeszcze czegoś takiego
Hi Again does your lathe machine steel with a good finish . I am very interested in building one if it works well. I dont want to spend all that time and money if it will not turn steel . Many Thanks. Love your work.
Answering your question - it turns steel but if you're looking for tight tolerances or surface finish then it's not the way to go. You need a stiffer machine. I've already made some tight tolerance bored holes for bearings but I had to take a lot of passes to get good tolerance to fit a bearing. It's a cool machine to have for hobby work but if you want to be efficient - you have to look for something more rigid.
Perfect workmanship.cnc machine👍

Lots of work into building your own lathe, well done. Few tips to improve. Weld a couple of rods in the head and fill the head with epoxy granite to reduce chatter from the head. Second fill the tubes on the bed also with epoxy granite as your lathe does not have enough mass currently and can clearly see from the video you are having chattering issues from lack of rigidity. It should improve the cut quality by a significant amount. The apron will be a lot of extra work to improve rigidity as you will need an extra 3 rail because you didn't go with linear rails that causes small movement in the apron from using round rod rails. Other than that this was a lot of work. Not a lot of people build their own lathe.
Thank you for your comment. You're right with the chatter. But filling with epoxy cant be done at this moment as i need it to be at least a bit mobile. But I'm planning on some improvement on it. Especially when it comes to stffiness. Thank you for tips!

Hey! thanks! I think the c-beams were 120x60x4, the square tubes were 50x50x3, the tools post base plate was like 10mm thick steel.
and the spindle walls were made out of 5mm thick steel. I'd make it a bit stiffer next time though
Thanks! 🔥
Hi my friend, it is amaizing. Which software did you use for automatize this machine?
Hi! I used LinuxCNC
Brilliant work my master you are fantastic engineer cheers 🍻 ❤❤
thank you! :)
That was AWESOME!!!
I was wondering if you have experienced ringing throughout the metal?
I heard a couple of other guys talking about the metal making a ringing noise, and they figured it did that because it wasn't cast iron.
Was thinking, if that was a problem, maybe filling the metal tubing and wherever possible, with sand??
Or maybe spray foam?
Also, I was wondering if there's any unwanted movement from the linear rails?
Have you had any problems with them getting loose after awhile?
I was wondering if it wouldn't help to put a piece of steel on the sides as well that barely touches, or can be tightened, to snug it up a bit, incase it loosens and gets movement in the rails?
Just like an extra support from side to side, to decrease movement??
I'm about to build one of these myself, and finally just got the last of the metal I needed for it, so kind of wanted an opinion on that first, so I could try to counter act it before hand...
If you have any advise, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
So after some using of this lathe I can say - it is not stiff at all. It has vibrations etc. It can cut aluminium and barely steel but it covers usually my needs. The spindle bearings aren't good at all - it's hard but there are possibilities to make a spindle capable of roller bearings at home (instead of these). Tightening the rails helps a bit but I wouldn't recommend these as well if you'd like to work more with your machine. This was a cheap project which helped me to make many more machines but it has a lot of cons. If you can afford better equipment and have machining possibilities then I'd recommend using hiwin-like rails (much more stiffness), filling the metal tubes with some epoxy or sand (as you said), the spindle housing would be much better when made of castings but usually it's not possible to do it at home (more wall thickness would help though).
I'll be starting a new cnc lathe project soon and I'm going to use an old milling machine spindle as a spindle for it, HGR-25 linear rails and SFU1605/2005 ballscrews with steel tube frame but I'm going to fill it up with some material which will affect the vibrations dampening. Lessons learned! :)
So yeah - all depends on the budget you can afford, haha!
@@GBWM_CNC WOW, thank you so much for the reply with all of those details!
I bought a "5 bolt 2000lb High-Speed Trailer Stub Axle", that I was going to bolt the 5 bolts onto the back of the housing, and use the shaft as the part that spins, and put the pully on it, then 2 lubed bearings on the inside and outside of the housing shaft hole before the chuck. I figured using the trailer stub axel in the reverse way like that would be perfect for this kind of thing, since there's no play at all in it...
I did buy the rails already, but got the SBR20, and extra slider blocks, because I planned on using 4 on both sides, plus I figured I would ad steel that comes down on the side, and bottom maybe, now that you mentioned how much play there was, and have steel slid in between to tighten snug on the sides and bottom.
I will definitely make it able to hold sand then as well then.
Also, I will really thicken up the housing for it as you said.
I guess all of this is a good start anyway, and once it's working, I can always tweak and change it as needed.
Also, I saw someone add a mill above their lathe recently on youtube, which I planned on doing as well, with another high speed trailer stub axel like the lathe.
They attached it to the housing of the lathe with thick square tubing, which would also help with the thickening and beefing up the lathe housing sturdiness, so it's a win win, hopefully.
You were a HUGE help man, thank you sooooo much for all of this help!!!
@@jimjackslak4507 You're welcome! I'm really glad you find my hints helpfull. I'm always learning making the stuff I make and it's so awesome that people can learn on my wins and mistakes! :)
@@GBWM_CNC I'm addicted to your vids man, they are fantastic! The tea thing is a little odd, but it's your signature move. LOL
@@GBWM_CNC I forget to mention one other thing I heard others say about reducing the horizontal play, where they suggested using 2 Ballscrew Nuts (one on either side of the connecting block, or 2 of those blocks) instead of one like usual.
I'll try this as well, as it couldn't hurt.
Totally awestruck! Great job. I don't suppose you have any plans available for this project ?
Thanks! I made some drawings which are available for all my patrons if you'd like to take a look.
Hola excelente trabajo todo muy detallado, muchas gracias por compartir eres muy bueno en lo que haces, te felicito.
Gracias!😁

@@GBWM_CNC Genial tu trabajo
Great Work Really, How much did it all cost you including raw materials, electronics, and machining ?
As mentionted in the description - the whole cost of materials was about $1300. But that was about a year ago and now prices of pretty much everything are higher (at least where I live). The machining and assembly was all done at home so I didn't count it as it was done during free time as hobby
@@GBWM_CNC Great, sure will be waiting for more amazing work. Thanks.
@@GBWM_CNC How can I download the step file ? , I've joined the support members but I can't find it.
@@kareemamr459 I can't find you on the support members list but maybe there might be some kind of delay or something. You should be able to find it in the description of the members bonuses. if you encounter any problems write to me on the e-mail included for members 😁
Hola, felicitaciones por tu obra, me intriga como buen argentino por que te gusta el mate?
Gracias!
La yerba mate siempre mejora mi capacidad de pensamiento cuando no está en la mejor forma. Me encanta el mate argentino.
Exelent work ,🔆☀️ hey no tienes planos de medida de cartagena Colombia. Brother exelente trabajo me inspira hacerme uno . gracias
¡Gracias! ¡El modelo CAD está disponible para mis mecenas! Los planes se harán cuando tenga algo de tiempo libre :)
One question : how did you adjust a spindle with the axes ? 🤔
I've mounted the rails as perpendicular as possible to the headstock. Later the adjustment was made by loosening the screws on the UCF bearings in the headstock and moving the spindle around until the Z axis will be parallel to a H6 tolerancje cylinder mounted in the spindle (I was using the dial indicator to check the geometry). The X axis could be a bit adjusted on the holes connecting the X axis linear bearings to the compound rest.
@@GBWM_CNC 👍I'd like to see this process... 😉
