https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jf0F6CiQcQ Hey, you're doing a great job there! The only thing I don't personally like is the center-height to beds' width ratio. The more the height you set your spindle at without either widening the beds or reinforcing the overall structure, the lighter the duty the machine will be able to support during normal operation before it starts to flex/vibrate.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY6wmHL48H0. quill lock, Shimming of any plane perpendicular to another in the x,y and z axis is done with a granite cube and describes method of using Moglice or JB Weld to create a headstock. Lathe uses a 1:1 cement, epoxy mixture as cheaper alternative to Moglice. It forms a paste that takes 24 hours to cure allowing for the alignment of the headstock with lathe bed with lathe head tramming method. channel floweringelbow 25% slow cure epoxy, 69% iron powder, 5% aluminium oxide, 1% magic dust? for mating two pieces of metal. When aligning two elements, take dial indicator reading as you tighten, not afterwards.

I might do "detailed" plans for it but at this moment I share just the step file. Inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4GT7Atq7ug&list=PLfHKOcnbjzKwIgHi_YfNaqDZzhY0oARtp which uses H beam is made out of two T beams welded together with large flatbar and reinforced with square tube or Uchannel sections. Zaxis column are angle iron pieces with flatbar diagonally in center making a side to side square tube like structure drilled and tapped for linear rail each(6min33), it is more rigid than just a square tube for the same dimension. The back of the Zaxis column is reinforced with Uchannel that has a section removed at an angle. (7min21). Large rigid table for hoisting Yaxis from the ground for further wedling and drilling, is built out of Uchannels(9min). The Yaxis base is so heavy that the table is held rigid in the center with a hydraulic jack. In video nr.2 of the playlist the Yaxis is lifted on the rigid table built in vid nr.1. It's not clear how the ways were milled for the linear rails(see Moglice, Shimming, hand scraping). The video is in Polish, Google's algorithms don't list if for an English audience and the low view count betrays that is probably one of the best lathe and mill videos, showing clearly how to build a large heavy duty mill out of scrap Uchannels and Tchannels.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnQjjkuJXWc STUDER has been manufacturing machine beds from its own specially developed Granitan® mineral casting for decades. In comparison with machine beds made from iron-based materials, Granitan® machine beds have a more favorable thermal and better cushioning behavior. Temporary temperature fluctuations are largely compensated by the favorable thermal behavior of Granitan®. The excellent cushioning behavior of the machine bed ensures outstanding surface quality of the ground workpieces. Far fewer energy and raw material resources are consumed in the manufacture of Granitan®, in comparison with the manufacturing process for steel. https://www.studer.com/en/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKREUByofzE remade the entire frame out of 40x40x2 steel box and TIG welded it using a technique called winging it. As a known side effect of this technique the frame is not square, straight, coplanar, or any of the required properties for the frame of a machine like this. I solved it by shimming almost everything on it with washers of different thicknesses and a lot of brute force. In the build of the aluminium one almost everything went perfect first try, in this build I had to wrestle with it a lot, way more than I'm capable to show in a single video. The machine is obviously more rigid than the aluminium one and after a lot of fiddling with it, it is surprisingly straight where it counts and seems to even be properly trammed. As a bonus at the end of the video I decided to obliterate some aluminium and steel with the wrong dull bit and completely wrong feeds and speeds.

Here is a project I have been working on for a couple of months. The construction and mechanization of a lathe machine, I have only finished the first part of this lathe machine, i still have to place the engine, the headstock, the chuck, the tailstock and a few other things ... Each of the pieces was manufactured and hand ground. Unfortunately I could not film each and every one of the pieces made, they are many hours of work. I have had a few difficulties in this job. I have done everything self-taught, reading some books (there is not much about building lathes) and watching some tutorials on the web ... I hope I can move forward in this quarantine !! And finish as soon as possible so I can start working on iron sculptures (which I am doing this for), that is my medium and long term commissioning

accidental science
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5DIehtaRM4 headstock alignment. That kind of alignment accuracy is obviously very good. Except as a general rule both the lathe head stock and tail stock are purposely misaligned by roughly .001" in 10"-12" over the length of the bed both up and towards the operator. That slight misalignment is done in an effort to build in a compensation factor for both work piece weight and cutting tool pressures. It's obviously not a perfect system since both the work piece weight and cutting tool deflection can have large changes depending on what's being done or even the cutting tool material used. So it's a best case average that helps the lathe deflect towards being more accurate instead of less in most cases. And that was very clever thinking to use a weight counter balance to remove the test bars sag due to gravity.

six part lathe build, welding and destressing. The dovetail milling for bed ways is preferred over this method. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BuqkRqqxyk This time I show how I've made the cross slide of my DIY metal mini lathe. No welding: even this part has been made without welding but joining the elements together with epoxy and pins, avoiding the risk of deformations. In this part only the cross slideway is shown while in the next episode I'll show the cross slide's sled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rLqkpy2UQA part8b How I've made the sled of the cross slide for my home made metal lathe. Using the same technique applied for other parts of this lathe, I didn't welded the elements, rather I put them together through glue, pins and screws to avoid deformations and achieve higher quality and precision. This time I used cyanoacrylic glue (similar to superglue) in place of epoxy, because pins and screws are enough to keep the parts in place and the elements are attached together quicker.
