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) ![]() |

![]() You are in the fla machine belt,supporting nasa and have experts all around you. Take advantage and prepare yourself accordingly,this is not an overnite,instant gratification endeavor. I have seen and heard of too many horrible industrial accidents and have become skeptical of selfproclaimed 'gurus'. Grenade training in the military is defined by strict protocols,so too should be the instruction and manual study of your new lathe. Bone up on the tech,it's a tool of great versatility with which you can test yourself to get good at. Getting great at it requires decades of practice and application. The machine you have for cheap must be supported by the acquiring of tools of telemetry,500$ basically to start. Electric drills and saws may be your experience to date,and if so,a period of training is needed,because it's the right thing to do.

(edit) Come to think of it,an ad for a part time machinist of skill may be an alternative way to part cost in labor and time. Hire a machinist to make your swingarm bearing barrel or front upright to carry a driven axle! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
