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) ![]() |

So, I had to replace the front wheel bearings on the right side of my Vanagon today.
The rotor looked pretty crappy, so I took the opportunity to put it in the lathe. Success! It was the first time I used the power feed and it came out pretty well. I'm going to want a nicer finish in the future, but definitely good enough for a brake rotor. My oldest boy (14) seemed unimpressed as I was smiling with the lathe running. I told him he didn't understand the significance of what he was seeing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) There is something therapeutic when turning the handles on a manual lathe or mill when making chips, I don't get the same satisfaction when running the CNC... Don't laugh.....I might have some VCR tapes of Rudy Kouhoupt that cover lathe operation and tool grinding...if you still have a player and I can find them you can have them for the cost of shipping. http://bay-com.com/Rudy_Kouhoupt.php http://bay-com.com/cid/1-1/Machining_lathe...machinists.html Instructional DVDs to rent: https://smartflix.com/store/author/23/Rudy-Kouhoupt |
