Are those thrust bearings large enough in diameter to be only interacting with the outer race of the radial bearings? The thrust bearings looked to small in the model you were showing.
ahh you can mill on a lathe..remember this is.vintage how it was done back in day when yoi worked with what you had ..and manual skills
Can you please tell me Which software did you use to run the machine? Please bro i am also working to make the cnc wood turning project.
I am from india
I'm going through and watching your videos you're a very intelligent guy with ambitious ideas … it is inspiring thanks for your contributions
Hi there, First of all thanks nice video. How can you help me? I want to make special purpose 2 axis lathe type Cnc machine. My requirement is rpm of spindle speed is 10 – 300m and 2nd axis ball screw control by Cnc control with precision features for my operation is like threading. Please give me best solution. Thanks
could you machine aluminum with this set up?
If a milling attachment were to be installed along with a third stepper motor, could it be used as a horizontal mill?
Very interesting video!!! Thank you…
Hi, Kent! I already started my mini lathe conversion. I was able to keep the original lead screws. I still haven't tested the backlash compensation, but I'be implementing it in the next few days. Check this video out. (Is not in english, sorry) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fPzSeyCA4g
Hi! We are working on a project. We would like to ask what speed (rpm) did you use for your spindle.
hello my name is victor i speak to you from peru … i would like to help me q tiepo of engines is using its characteristics and type of spindle lead shafts please
This is really nice. I'm working on my own conversion of a Atlas 618 right now.
Hi Mr Kent great job, please if it possible, you can send me the code for the arduino for the closed loop stepper motor control? thank very much.
what firmware you use for your arduino's projet?
can you share here..
awesome
Video is GREAT.
The machine is GREAT
The subject is GREAT
The purpose is GREAT
The method is GREAT
The work needed is GREAT
The price is Great
But…………………….
The speed of your "rhetoric" is TOO dadgummed fast.
Please learn to slow down when teaching. It would make for outstanding videos. Oh indeed yes!
Thanks
Wow, that lathe modeling would take me a life time or 2. Good work, great info, thank you for sharing.
great job Kent ! I would have loved to see you actually making the printed parts on your rig…looks like they were machined out of Delrin !! Clearpath servos are the way to go…they cost $$ but 3 to 8 x the power and closed loop in one neat package.
what a nice south bend…which one is this? happy fourth
are the mounts ABS
