CNC Lathe Conversion Kit South Bend BDTools SB1001

1. why didnt he just put the motor on the opposite side of the cross slide?

2. why only 381 likes? The video like this deserves so much more.

3. Build something that no-one else has seen yet? Now there's a real challenge!

4. How to set tool pls? Does it have home?

5. Question, if I may. I have a 1605 ball for my x axis. I'm using the bearing housing that generally comes with it. It's always a pain to deal with. Does Billy's kit just come with a with a bore for a bearing alone, within the 1 to 1 housing. I saw you pull it apart but can't make out what is on the inside, beyond your timing pulley.
   Thank you

6. ?I was wondering what object did you make??????

7. Hi can you please tell me where you downloaded the post processor for Linuxcnc to use with fusion 360. I am just trying to get my small cnc lathe up and running whilst also learning Linux and Fusion.
   Many thanks and great video.

8. Hi
   I saw in cnc routers using rack and pinion drive
   My question is why you don’t use yours machine rack and pinion as drive
   ? Thanks ?

9. Hi ? Kent,
   Can you share the codes which used in command prompt with us.please.
   I am new to linux cnc
   From Sri Lanka ??
   Thank you

10. I wonder if instead of replacing the main lead screws and nuts one could simple keep the original ones and then set the LinuxCNC backlash compensation. I've never use this LCNC feature. Have you tried it? If so, do you think it could be able to handle such large backlash?

11. Great!

12. Nice work, Kent. Great to watch your progress. You make the LinuxCNC bit look so easy!

13. Build the kit !!!!! You can save A lot of money with steppers and drives using cut-offs wher I could I built a nice kit for $500 thats with Nema 23's and a spindle controller. Mach 3 or mach 4 is the better software to use lynux is just a load of extra crap you dont need ! I use Mach 4 and I make some extreamly detailed parts right down to the .000000000001

14. Sweet little grinder. Great comments about buying a conversion kit and both learning from someone else’s design and that the time to DIY could be better spent in other places.

15. Great youtube channel. Thanks for sharing your insights and lessons learned. I especially like your honest and calm approach. Seldom nowadays 🙂

16. excellent channel!

17. Awesome! thanks for sharing

18. You should seriously look at the new Centroid Acorn controller. Professional CNC interface by a CNC manufacturer. BTW keep up the great work! Love the 3d printed videos!

19. Neat conversion kit! The finish on the aluminum parts, seems like the parts are tumbled? Reminds me that I need a tumbler.. That bench-grinder! I have some tools from my father, working with them always results in flashbacks. And the flying parts.. Working with wood and plastics in the lathe always seem to surprise at the most unexpected moments!

20. I look forward to future vids where you are making something on the lathe.

21. great video, it must have taken so much planning to cover all parts in the video, I get too excited and start making stuff and then think where is the camera and I should have covered it :(, great job Kent

22. What kind of a NFS share do you use on your PC? Would you recommend to go with Linux CNC or March 3 as an controller? Great Video!

    The weather is turning cold here and it's time to come inside and get back to work in the shop. More of Billy's work can be found at https://www.bdtoolsusa.com/
