Homemade Lathe #10 | New Spindle

Great work my friend! As advise from a welder, always try to weld the parts before the final turning, to avoid deformations. Cheers!

I am glad you changed out the shaft to hollow tube makes it so much better.

Very clever, also looks good for a homemade lathe.

What you are doing is impressive. Just a comment for your safety. Ive been a machinist for over 50 years. Put some glasses on and lose the sleeves on your shirt . I had a friend have his shirt ripped right off of him because it caught a burr on the od of a shaft. Another guy lost an eye because of a broken center drill. Just my opinion. But nice work

Superb work. I was a self employed welder / turner and then went on to teach. I really enjoyed your video. Always room for improvement and you are clearly moving forward with your work and skills. Fantastic - keep it up.

Awesome upgrade. I'm thinking of doing the same from the beginning of making my lathe 😁 like the tight fits everywhere

That is absolutely awesome my friend!! That looks like it could turn way above its belt...

I've only just seen your channel for the first time. I am greatly impressed by your workmanship and ingenuity. I am now subscribed,keep up the great work👌

Very very impressive what you do with just basic tool to begin with!!!! We all look for that heavy, stable, huge lathe while you’re painting circles around many with a homemade lathe on a shaking frame!!!!!! You’re awesome, dude!!! One thing you did that I gotta comment is the fact that you made the flange to match the Chuck size perfectly but, in reality, every commercial lathe has a little play between the Chuck recess and the flange center with adjusting side screws so you can fine tune those differences you were fighting with the frame screws to be running true. If you leave a couple hundredths of a millimeter you can fine tune the Chuck to almost zero runout. Don’t take me wrong, you did it much better than I could, it’s just a matter of making it easier on you and increasing precision to your final product since you could get it very very close on the large frame bolts then really fine tune it with the flange screws. Watch a couple videos on installing a new Chuck it may be better than my explanation! Awesome! Awesome! Please, keep up your great work and don’t get mad at your dad! Wish mine were picking on me and joking about my endeavors but he never did so, consider yourself blessed that yours want to be part of your life!!!!

Love your channel. I am a machinist by trade and your videos are inspiring to watch! To see someone create such an impressive machine with rudimentary tools is awesome! Keep up the good work! (And invest in some eyewear, removing chips from your eye is painfully, ask me how I know.) I would also recommend you drill some locating pins to the bearing flanges so they don't shift if there are any excessive loads, or if you have to take them apart.

Witam z Polski tak patrzę na twoje prace i stwierdzam że jesteś świetnym fachowcem , wszystko przemyślane pozdrawiam i życzę sukcesów miłego dnia

Kid im impressed with your skills. Im a knife maker for 35 years and I think you’re lathe build is awesome 😎

I applaud your spirit, but please machine after welding !!

I just watched the entire lathe series and you are a genius!

I'm really glad to see at least one young man actually doing man things getting his hands dirty and actually making things I applaud your enginuity young man. Also I have a 2.5hp motor that would make that lathe a monster I'm going to put it on my lathe and hopefully make mine a monster lol

Excellent work man!

Awesome build. You could add locating pins to the spindle mounts to lock the spindle location and maintain trueness during machining. Those 4 bolts on each side will move with pressures of machining.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :face-green-smiling::face-blue-smiling: THAT'S AWESOME WORK!!!!! THANKS FOR "SHARING" THIS VIDEO!!!!:face-red-heart-shape::face-red-heart-shape::face-red-heart-shape:

Great job, congratulations! I would just recommend using high-quality grease on the tapered bearings.

Truing the round balances the stock and prevents chatter and wobble which can loosen it from the chuck.
