Homemade lathe for metal

[Vyacheslav.Nevolya]

Bought rods of hydraulic cylinders and set them on the caliper. These rods hardened, polished and coated with chrome. So I enlarge stiffness lathe machine. Also set the plate so that metal shavings do not pollute the screw. Weather is warm, so I can start painting.




Later will produce limb and scale. I do not have indexing head, now thinking of how to make the scale. Who can give an idea?

Replaced all rods on a lathe. The rigidity of the lathe is much better.



Milling equipment in the work

A plywood blade for a circular saw has 100 teeth. That would give you 100 graduations.

Modernization tailstock. I have a rotating center Morse cone №3. I bought a rod and tube from the hydraulic cylinder of agricultural machinery. It should be drilled and carved a hole cone.
