I can finally start doing the fun stuff with my #lathe. By which I mean "more lathe improvements".

I am very slowly learning that I can get away with quite bad #lathe crimes and still get good results. Look at that mirror finish! Lovely stuff.
Please ignore the charred milling bit. That is less lovely.

It's Wednesday, which means Matt (AKA @woodmachinist.bsky.social ) has posted another video. Taking a break from the Anarchist Tool Chest series, this week's video is about making a new back plate for his metal lathe.

I got a cheap Aliexpress DRO and installed it onto my new lathe! It all went pretty well! I cadded up some brackets in #freecad
Drilling holes into the cast iron bits of my lathe was fairly terrifying, but being able to measure cuts down to 0.005mm without reaching for the calipers is extremely […]
I had a time making a part for my new lathe. It was educational.

A photo of my hand holding a quick change toolpost tool holder. It shows almost mirror-smooth milling marks where part of the metal was cut away.
Lathe crimes absolutely pay. This came out better than I could've reasonably hoped. Very happy.
I had to chop some of the metal away to hold tools at the correct height. I tried to use a HSS milling bit but these tool holders turned out to be hardened steel […]

A photo of a lathe with a boring bar clamped in the Chuck. There is evidence of milling on a tool holder that is about to be presented to the boring bar.
I am doing #lathe crimes and there's nobody here to stop me.
Turns out I don't need to buy a carbide endmill after all!

It turns out that a great tool for modifying my #lathe is itself.
I'm having a great time making these little videos as I lean stuff about machining. It's a fun journey.

We had a client come in and ask us to fix up this Mercedes AMG wheel. Our professionals powder coated the wheel, and sent it through our CNC lathe for that machined lip.

I have a #pakige en route from Aliexpress. It's a DRO for my lathe. After placing the order I messaged the seller with the dimensions of the rails I need to fit my lathe. This was the process defined in the product listing. However the seller never acknowledged my message, so I fear I'm going to […]
A photo of the parts described in the post. Some parts are still in cardboard boxes, some are unpacked onto a black bench. There is a laptop visible in the background.
New #lathe bits arrived! A chuck adaptor plate so I can mount my old 4-jaw chuck on my new lathe, a quick change toolpost, and a set of tool holders. The toolpost is about triple the size of the QCTP on my old lathe. Hefty!

Work in progress
1) Jotting a placeholder sketch down
2) Drawing it out properly
3) Light-boxing onto watercolour paper and going over in ink pen
4) Watercolouring

Just ordered some bronze round bar. Time to see what all the fuss is about.

I bought some impossibly cheap endmills from Jeff and the results might surprise you!
Or maybe not. They were pretty good. Better than I expected.
Also using a lathe as a mill is bonkers.

My new #lathe is in! Only mild peril was involved in getting it out of the crate and onto my workbench.

Killer 10" lathe from one of my favorite bassists from one of my favorite bands. Good vibes here.

Woodturning a Majestic Jr. pen for my niece. Stabilized maple burl dyed pink and purple with a rollerball mechanism, chrome accents, and a Swarovski crystal inlay. I thought it tuned out pretty.

Well I just took the spindle out of my old #lathe and put it back in again, aligning the inner races of the angular contact bearings in case that was a factor in my spindle wobble. A last-ditch effort before buying a new lathe.
The result: 0.01mm run-out along the axial bearing surface of the […]

I'm about to drop a few kilodollars on a replacement #lathe. The AL-250G is at the top of my list. I'm a hobbyist, so I don't need anything too serious.
* Metric
* > 1" spindle bore
* Around 250x500 capacity
* Bench-mounted

Finished up this Riverfront Stadium pen on a Vertex kit. I love how the pieces of stadium seats pop against the white epoxy. Let me know what you think!
