This channel is all about machining with manual and CNC machines. From CNC routers cutting wood to various metals on engine lathes ,knee mills to FANUC controlled CNC machines. .
Great video! I came in a bit late here, but just purchased a back-ordered G4003 without the stand. I found the stand to be cheap (but expensive), of poor build quality, appears to lack rigidity, and provides a high center of mass - the latter comments you pointed-out. liquerinfrnt asked a question of you, but I saw no reply. Is there an upper cross member to connect the legs. Did you add the upper components to this magnificent build? Thank you for the idea and your time reading this! John
your grizzly 12x36 with qcgb on enganges for tread and advanced that is the lathe for my. Ive an old sheldon lathe its an 1936 model its similar but he have more than 80 years old . Ive sharing you video and like it thank you for your times
Excellent video. Thank you for making this explanation so simple and straight forward. I wished I would have found yours first and not wasted 45 mins on the other videos that kept me confused.
I'll be starting up on this clock soon. For the wood, were you actually using plywood or did you plane down the wood to the required thicknesses as the plans call for? looking at the plywood in places like Homedepot, the thickness are not truely 3/4", 1/2", 1/4" like they claim they are...
I don't have the same lathe, but a similar 12x36. I haven't even gotten it home yet, and was looking at how close the chip tray is below the machine. The one I've got has a very sturdy cast iron base at each end, but it needs to be quite a bit higher for me to use it comfortably. I think one of the first projects will be to make spacers to lift the machine higher above the chip tray. The pivot out table at the tail end of the lathe looks really handy too.
I definitely enjoyed watching the entire series. I’d love to see more projects like this in the future! It’s always enjoyable to see real world practical projects! 👍
Very tempted to making this, so does this only ding at 12, or does it ding every hour? Also, is it pretty much automatic, not much for manual monitoring to make sure it keeps time correctly? Some clocks I've seen require rewinding something every day
I like how you don't need more trains to perform striking. It works kind of like a countwheel, because it can go out fo sync, but syncing is easy. just place the right number of marbles on the top shelf.
Oh wow. So it's just a series of speciflcly placed holes, with the first one offset inside so it can only pick up the lower marble track, the others pick up from the upper track. So the next time it lifts 1 more than the last time. Then it dumps it all to the bottom track after getting to 12 in the upper.
Thanks, just purchased the same unit for use on a 11x27 lathe. Do you know if there's a way to set a "dimension"? Example: Desired diameter - .750, Measured diameter - .850, so I want to set a dimension of .100 on the X axis and it count down to 0 as I advance the compound. This is a feature I've seen and used on several other DROs.
Why don't you knock directly the bell with marbles, instead of the hammer pushed by marbles? Pourquoi vous ne sonnez pas directement la cloche avec les billes, au lieu d'utiliser les billes pour pousser le marteau?
