Homemade mini lathe 

Absolutely love your work and your videos! Suffered through another guys video for 18+ minutes just installing a clutch on a go-kart just to find out the motor was too small to run it. He had 5 minutes worth of usable material. Your stuff is inspiring!

Very good idea,very good finishing,it can be used for making wood granules.

Cám ơn bạn vì những gì đã trình bày chỉ muốn nói thêm cho bạn là đầu máy tiện cái khoảng cách giữa hai vòng bi và đường kính vòng bi phải có tỉ lệ là 1/8 trở lên máy mới không bị gằn khi tiện bạn nhé! Chúc thành công

I made a bigger version of this and its really useful for my video tutorials. Thank you.

Qué chingon quedó esa madre, felicidades, lo qué es tener talento y aprovecharlo.

Excelente proyecto, muchas gracias por compartir esta genial idea

Congratulation! This is a small masterpiece of home-made lathe machine.

Gracias 😊 ya tengo el broquero joyero gracias a ti me hare el mini torno, para mis relojes gracias muchas gracias 😊

I would recommend replacing the drill chuck with a proper three jaw chuck, e.g. a Unimat 4 chuck which sticks out far less and so gives you more room on the bed. I would also recommend placing the toolholder off centre to the left so you can get closer to the chuck with your tool (on the test run video it is fairly obvious you cannot get very close to the chuck). Otherwise: a good job!

You have some ability. It's truly amazing to see you do these things with the limited resources you have available to you. How did you get into this? I mean how did you learn to do this kind of stuff?

una pregunta y la parte 2 o la secuencia de este, realmente esta muy interesante gracias, FELICIDADES, un saludo desde MEXICO.

That's not a mini lathe, it's a micro lathe :) Well done.

that is an awesome lathe. Could I ask a favor for ALL the viewers ? please talk, tell us what all the parts do that you are either making of using.

I got 2 of those tut sewing machine motors. 1 80watts and 1 90 watts. Buid year 1985 and 1984. they work on 220volts.

Looks almost easy enough to build but how does it work ? Instead of a drill chuck can you use a small lathe head on it ? A 2 access would be fine for me as a beginner! Where would I find parts to build some of it ? I have the metal stock and an old 1/2 drill and bearings and pipe and can weld good .i would need the head , knobs and reversing rotation motor . Nice build ! I’ve watched a lot of them thus far !

Mały problem w tym że trzeba mieć tokarkę, do niej dostęp lub jednak komuś posiadającemu tokarkę zlecić wykonanie pewnych elementów. Z drugiej strony jeśli by budować mikrotokarkę to o parametrach i użytkowości pełnowymiarowego urządzenia. Plus za pomysłowość i chęci.

Wonderful, looks exactly like emco Unimat DB / SL

1:29 what stops the shafts from coming out? IMO the right hand shaft support holes should be smaller so that only the threaded end can go through. This keeps the main shafts from moving. Overall good job

You need a Leth for making a mini Leth!!

Haha, when I saw the first lathe you used, I was like 'WTF, is that his homemade mini lathe..??' . Thankfully it wasn't. Nice job dude :)

QUE BUEN TRABAJO. 1000 PUNTOS PARA USTED.

great project I am looking at building a small lathe and other useful workshop tools, have you got any sizes of the materials you used.

I'm sure ol' Henry Maudslay would be very proud of your accomplishment!!!!

Excelente trabajo, solo faltó la pintura.

You gave me an idea to make a cutting machine with the base.thanks.

Its good idea But why you dont test it after finished

I wonder if those sleeves have any play if so they shouldn't.

excellent work ! way to use your head and use what you have to support yourself! Again FANTASTIC!!!!

This is incredible ! You have wowed me.

What these linear sliders are made of? Just a piece of steel pipe? Steel pipe slides on another steel pipe?

If the steps were broke down more i believe I could make it. ...I really enjoyed that video

Wow! I recenty had something similar, made by boat modelist.

Nice work on bed and cross slide. Would be useful for small fitting jobs at home.

I've never seen it happen, but I'm told that side-loading on a drill chuck is asking for serious injury as they are not designed for that kind of lateral force...

Awesome! I've been meaning to make something like this or your bigger lathe for a while.

Интересно!...Продольный винт лучше поставить по центру, люфт суппорта уменьшится, выше точность. Удачи!

أحسنت العمل رائع جداً . هل ممکن ارسال خرائط الإجزاء و الاتصالات .

Dont know why this got over 800 dislikes. Nice Job!

excelente video gracias por ese aporte, solo me gustaria saber cuales son las medidas del mini torno

So I need a big lathe to make a little one?

Very good job. I want to make it. How can I get this raw material to build it.

Чудово!, і бачу щось знайоме - двигун TUR2 від швейної машинки ;))

Excellent job bro! But Something is missing like, Which type of metal used in body(cast iron or High speed steel ),Length, Width or instruments names etc . Kindly all requires Mention at description or Pinned comment.

Very nice job!

Tu eis um cara sábio,fazer uma máquina dessa,parabéns:

Very impressive!

Nice Bhai hard work amazing Kitana aataa hen Bhai

It's nice work. What would have helped me alot is if you were able to speak. It left me guessing as to what each piece was going to be and why you were doing that way. I don't mean to embarrass you if you are unable to speak. Have you considered added some text where normally there would be some narrative ? it really helps people like me understand silent movies. Thanks.

Mesin bubut ya master bubut mini👍

Excelente prototipo, Gracias por la enseñanza. Saludos

NIce video....it's a pity you need a full size lathe to make some of the parts-sort of defeating the object

Very cool !! Throw some chip gaurds on it and your ready to go. Good job man.

you are very clever. It is good by handmade

Молодец, на глазах собрал.

vertical lathe instead, no size limitations, adjustable tool position rail

Wow nice job mate 👍🏻

Obrigado pela dica quando eu tiver uma micro retifica eu vou fazer

Calidad de trabajo. Muy bien hecho.

hola tremendo trabajo , tendrias las medidas para hacerlo ? Saludos desde argentina ;)

Very cool what's the measurements please

How did you connect the round bar on the opposite side of the nut?

Q torninho lindinho show de bola ⚽️

Lindo trabalho, será que se eu usar um motor de liquidificador de 300w dá certo nesse teu projeto? Grato.

Very nice job

to make your first mini lathe you need lathe.. fu.. impresive ;)

Amazing...Is very nice this job.

If my dad had this he would actually use it to sharpen his pencils.

do you have some construction plans of it ?

Nice video, the chuck is conical?, Do you have the video of how you installed it?

HOLA COMO ESTAS. Soy de Chile que interesante el pequeño torno, lo has probado ¿que se puede hacer con el? podrias hacer una prueba para verlo en accion saludos.

It is nice but one thing for inspiring for others you have to speak about describation of parts wher they are avilable to making majerments about it i like it will be best if become more explation

Nice.. but since a lathe already is required to make it... what about those who want to make a lathe because they DONT have one already?

भाई साहब क्या यह मशीन🎉

Alguém sabe qual és motorzinho? Ou se não souberem, poderiam me dizer qual motor seria ideal para esse projeto? Potência? Marca? Etc

Uh, does it turn on?

Fantastic, love to have it ♥️

I’m in the process of building a very small lathe as well. I’m posting very short videos on my Facebook account.

Absolutely awesome bro can I buy one lol but seriously

excellent work, but some times adjustment is not clear

como va el motor para el mini torno lo espero, falta mucho saludos.

Good job bro..

your the best man, i guess it better than lots of commercial shits

Can you please tell me how do you fitted guideways

Aww, the big lathe had a child... One time I rolled over a log and seen a tiny little stick, I said look, that log had a child...

Nice technician .

Thanks bhai accha video bnaya

what kind of motor used for this project

Total cost of project

I watched it a tousand times and it is still the best video in the internet

Berawoo very goodخیلی عالی افرین

Maravillosa idea pero pesima edision del video no tiene continiduad por qie no pides ayuda con la camara

Bellissimo,proverò a farlo anchio.

Hello hola как поживаете :) that is awesome ! can you tell me about diameter that iron tube and that shaft ??

I want to buy this. Any way?

미니 선반을 만들려면 우선 먼저 기성품 일반 선반이 있어야만 제작이 가능하군!

Can I use steel

Красава. Удивил. Благодарю за идею.

no tienes el tutorial del taladro de banco que tienes como fresa

Good work👍. But I as waiting to see it in action.

Nice project, I would like to see it in action
