Not exactly the same. The one in the video is from Harbor Freight, but i've heard the Vevor one works well for the price from a couple people now.
Today special guests Dan and Chirpy show me how to use a lathe. They brought over a Central Machinery lathe and showed me the basics. In part 1, it's basic operation and facing, part two will be a bit more fun. I don't lose any fingers today, so that was an extra bonus.
This convinced me more than ever I need to get making that gingery lathe. Turning stuff is oddly fun...

Part 2 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uIEuHiB_yF4.html You can BUILD YOUR OWN lathe! Here's how: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b0KpGtnaymo.html

@jamesbennet3937 Год назад

The little nub left in the centre after the facing operation means your tool height wasn't centred (that's also why it was chattering a bit). If you rotate the tool post so its facing the tailstock, and put a centre in the tailstock, then add some shims under the tool until the tips of the tool and centre line up, that usually is the right height.

Sir, Great Video on learning to use a lathe. The illustration and demonstration were perfectly supported by your explanation. Thanks for uploading!

@timambrass3521 5 лет назад

With the lead screw not turning you can lock the caraige in with the feed lever when doing a facing cut. Also set your compound feed 90* to the cross feed for fine adjustments when facing. Have fun, I've been running my HF for over 10 years, having a ball!

@gvet47 4 года назад

Actually at 90 degrees you are moving per each dial graduation. At an angle you are taking off less than the dial graduation or finer adjustment.😉 10 years should have taught you that.😂

Hi thanks for video I was facing some cast iron water pump impellers and noticed that there are not flat but have two hi spots 180 ⁰ opposite its like the chuck movement is going in and out could this be a fault with the bearing on the chuck head.i am not a engineer just a mechanic auto electricia .

@kevinleee3408 2 месяца назад

@@BB-km5nvjust my opinion but these manual lathes are old-fashioned however for hobbyists they will always have their place because they'll be a one-off part that you want to make or clean up because I've seen with 3D printing there's always clean up work to do and even when they get to the point that they're 3D printing metal you'll probably want to clean up a part by removing flashing or sanding polishing facing

@Dsquadrant 5 лет назад

I have been looking at a bigger lathe. What did you like about it Paul? Any plans on buying your own? Lots of stuff can be made on these things. I think the 7x10 mini lathe from harbor freight is the one to start out with. They are gear driven but the gears are plastic. I was told that there are replacement gears that are metal for these. I just have to convince my wife to let me buy one. My unimat SL1000 just can not run stuff that big.

@gvet47 4 года назад

They do sell a 7x 12 on line to gain a few more inches of bed. It was actually listed cheaper than the 7x10 when I got it.

@beowulfplayz8573 5 лет назад

But i was Really surprised How well it performed,even in comparison to the giant cnc lathe i usually have Access to. Hope you get Yours finished,it's Really Fun to use them!

@gvet47 4 года назад

@Dennis Young Just do not buy their metal headstock high-low gears. Way to much backlash on the low set of gears even the second set they sent. Not their fault just what they buy from China.

@FPSIreland2 4 месяца назад

Please forgive my stupid question but presumably these techniques would work on a wood lathe too?

@paulbrainard5876 10 месяцев назад

So when he was actually running the machine it'd be helpful if you could try backing the camera up just a bit so people can see what it is that you're adjusting or moving to get the machine to do what you're making it do.

@YT-User1013 2 года назад

I know this is 3 years old and I don’t have time to check all the comments, but aren’t you supposed to center the cutting tool with the center of the part (vertically)?

@davekimbler2308 3 года назад

I’m not sure but I think your speed on your chuck is to fast ? And with steel shouldn’t you use cutting fluid ? I’m new to this also ( I bought one last week ! ) but I was told to start with aluminum in that it’s more forgiving and easier to turn ! Just an observation !

@georgeburns6512 3 года назад

@scottgarvinjr8262 5 лет назад

Hey Paul. I have been trying to cast a sword out of aluminum, but it isn't working. I've tried vertical flasks twice just pouring from the top and the aluminum forces it's way out of the sand. I've also tried just a regular flask with a sprue (I hope I spelt it right, but I doubt it) and riser, but it only cast half of it. Any recommendations on what I am doing wrong and what I can do to get a successful cast? Thank you for all the great videos. Keep up the great work

@PaulsGarage 5 лет назад

If the vertical flask isnt tight, the head pressure can cause it to leak. I rammed the sand very tight and also screwed the flasks together. If it wont fill while flat, it usually means the aluminum is cooling before it fills the mold. Could be the pouring temp is too low, or you need a different gating method or something. Post some pics on alloyavenue or on my discord and we can help

@scottgarvinjr8262 5 лет назад

Paul's Garage Alright. Thanks for the advice and I unfortunately don't have any pictures as I remelted it all into ingots. If it doesn't work next time then I will send you pictures.

@VintageTechFan 3 года назад

Maybe I missed it in the video because of my internet-obliterated attention span, but: Why did you have the top slide at this angle? Wouldn't it be nicer to have it perpendicular to the cross slide to directly read out the depth of cut? Or was it just set up for threadcutting (yes I was binging TOT lately) and you just left it that way? Thinking about getting a small lathe for myself (actually, I have been contemplating this for 20 years now) and therefore watching some videos.

@andrewcleworth7275 2 года назад

God knows why you are turning with the compound slide at ( around a 45°angle) in the first place..... that is only for taper turning... plus its going the wrong way too.. the angle you have is for turning an inside bore..... and the reason you have a little nipple in the centre of the bar is because you haven't set your tool height correctly.... I'm a British engineer and I apologise if I seem like I'm being a dick... it's just (as an engineer) it has to be perfect within 1/2 a thou at least... I think chirpy has an idea of what he's doing mind x again sorry for the criticism, just has to be perfect man👍😉x
