So, I was given a lathe that had electrical problems.
I sorted those problems, and I am now looking for some simple projects so I can learn the machine. My first thought is to turn some clutch pulleys out of brass. Do you have other suggestions? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Let's start with the basics.
What's the turning speed for various metals and other media? How do I set the correct tool height? |

How do I set the correct tool height? http://blog.cnccookbook.com/2015/02/10/tur...peeds-g-wizard/ ^I'm a fan of the GWizard above, I use it for my CNC mill once in a while. Nothing wrong with the Machinist Handbook as well, but sometimes it is nice to just punch in numbers and get a result to start off with. I'd learn with the standard dials, but if you really want to get jobs done quicker and with a little bit less chance of messing up I'd recommend a DRO (digital read out) http://www.dropros.com/ and http://www.acu-rite.com/index.html We have been using the Acu-Rites with good results when the shops don't want the extra expensive of the normally used Magnescale DRO units. |
