I have sarted too a lathe and a milling machine...it s a very hard work and long time passed to rectify scrap with hand... so congratulation my friend👍😊
Kalo menurut saya mendingan pakai linier guide untuk railnya. Untuk milling machine bisa berfungsi dengan baik harus precision dan sangat rigid, jika rail bikin sendiri reperti ini biasanya kalo mau dibikin rigid pasti seret, dan sebaliknya kalau longgar pasti ga rigid. Bisa saja rail buat sendiri tinggal ikuti saja bentuk2 yg umum dupakai, dovetail misalnya, tapi untuk membuatnya butuh skill yg cukup karena pasti ada tahap2 handscrapping yg sangat membutuhkan skill dan kesabaran
Sarannya sangat bagus mas,di video ini saya menunjukan cara atau melihatkan kalau dengan homemade kita bisa membangun suatu mesin dengan biaya minim supaya yang lain tidak patah semangat untuk memulai suatu karya dengan biaya minim dan bahan yang gampang di peroleh,maaf mas sarannya sangat bagus🙏🙏🙏
Saya juga penghoby mekantronika, hobby DIY juga. Kebayang itu effort nya mas novrinal luar biasa itu, capek tak seindah di videonya hehehe, salut dengan semangatnya
Pengalamam saya kalo DIY saya penginnya hasilnya bagus bisa dibandingkan dengan pabrikan, pasti butuh kerja sangat keras. Nah kalo sudah kerja keras tapi hasilnya kurang bagus saya bisa frustasi dan putus asa, padahal saya peggila hobby mekantronika tapi bisa juga frustasi kalo sering gagal, maaf curhat hehe. Salam satu hobby
I noticed that you have the power feed working on the lathe ! and you use it ! good for you ! earlier in the video you were taking some seriously deep cuts ! how deep of a cut can you take with your lathe ? I've seen Keith Rucker take a 50thou. cut but that is on his big monster lathe .... i bet yours can do that ! just don't get too carried away and break it ! LOL it's always a pleasure to see your videos Debby ! no talking just right down to business ! I am sure your mill will be a workhorse just like your lathe ! Well done !
thanks, I enjoyed watching if you can put numbers on your lathe videos I will watch them all but I don't know where to start your doing a great job keep up the great work.
Very nice, thanks! Did you use your homemade grinding machine to make the 45 degree edges to your plates (to ride against the hex bars) or hand grinder / sand paper?
He's built a truly ingenious surface grinder. If you haven't watched those vids, you really should. An arbor press would be a great addition to his shop.
Just amazing!! You are in a league of your own. I have seen people with entire machine shops that don't put out the quality and accuracy pieces and parts you do.For lack of better terminology. I have been inspired by your work to step up my game and I kept my own ideas and style but I re did a good portion of my DIY lathe and did my best not to copy you to much but did do a few things similar. I am pleased with some of my original parts I just improved the carege. I made my rack gear from scratch, well part of it so far anyway I believe you did the same? I was going to buy one but I told myself when I started the project I was going to be patient and truly build everything but the motor, jaw and tooling or cores and I stayed true to that ! I was staring at the rack on my drill press and I picked up a couple of files and held them to the gear until I found one the fit perfectly. Then I took a pair of calipers a scrib and a hacksaw and got to it. I have built my fixture table flow though tank sander and everything else I DIY in my shop slash garage from scrap materials I collect at work as an HVAC HVAC commercial installer .Between all the pieces and parts I get from either scrap materials are old equipment I have never had to perches any steel or motors or electronics like motor starters and even VFD's! I got a broken one that had a hole in one of the capacitors and I replaced it. They are DC capacitors but the only difference between the AC/DC capacitors is you have to hook the +/_ up in a certain order depending on what you are attaching it to.Anyway don't know if you are familiar probably but if not the VFD's are pretty awesome! I built a 3 phase rotary converter and it was super easy there are what's called hard start kits for air conditioners with relays already hooked to the start capacitor so that saved me a step and I got all the hard start kits and run capacitors a i needed from old units I replaced. It took a while to get the 7.5 hp nice motor I have now but I got by with whatever I could tell recently and 3 phase motors are just better I don't know all of the details as to why but there awesome! I could use single phase with the VFD's to a 3 phase motor but I wanted forward and reverse fo some of my othere machines and I don't know how it's done in real equipment but I have had to switch a leg of power around to get a fan to run the right way on a RTU so I just wired up 2 contractors I salvaged as well and flipped the outside wires on the second one so when I send power though that side I have reverse .The VFD's are expensive and I don't come across them much as far as my scavenging goes lol so the phase converter and contractors were the next best thing and I don't loose any torque with the converter. I think im going to make my own VFD's soon I salvaged some electronics with all the parts I need I come across motor controls of sorts quite often and when you break them down there not that complicated, but im sure you probably already know everything you need to about all that I know I rambled a bit there sorry but you have inspired me so i thought maybe I could toss a few of my tricks your way not that you need them top notch work thanks for sharing it with everyone!
Hi brother! I started watching the video and time stopped - a very interesting project! I know that a lot of time is spent on calculations, on the manufacture of parts in order to achieve the desired result. I liked that I installed a clamping wedge and a rigid retainer, I liked the idea of using a hexagon as guides. The guys have already written about the protection of the guides (accordion or felt under the plate) so that the chips do not fall under the longitudinal table. We hope you took this point into account. Great job, these hands do a lot! Good luck brother, Merry Christmas!
And a couple of holes with greasing tits 👌 Once again dropping jaws discovering the cleverness of the design and quality in the making. Thanks for being a continuous inspiration Debby 🙏
Grande!!! Sei davvero preciso!! E complimenti per la progettazione!! Come le hai realizzate le guide scorrevoli esterne della slitta? Spero di vedere presto il prossimo video!!
friend what a sensational idea to use hexagonal system, did you make this piece or managed to buy it? a question if you can answer buy your steel in old iron or buy new? do you grind the steel yourself? are you following any book project or are you designing everything?
