Making a tailstock turret for the lathe (capstan attachment)
In this video I describe how I made a tailstock turret, or capstan, attachment for my manual lathe. This tool allows several cutting tools to be presented to the workpiece in quick succession and is a great timesaver. I upgrade the turret to fit a number of chuck drills.

In this video I make a working fifth scale model gearbox. This is a five-speed, constant mesh gearbox with reverse. Everything is made in my home workshop using the lathe and milling machine and various accessories. Next steps are to make a proper case for it with some other refinements.

Following on from my previous videos, I make a 44-tooth Mod 0.6 involute gear using one of my home-made form-relieved gear cutters (not 50 tooth as it says in the video - that's the gear you see at the end!) This is similar to my previous video, but I thought it would be good to make a slightly shorter version that gets to the point more quickly! These gears are part of a five-speed gearbox for...

    I guess if you don't have the correct change gear for the dividing head you have to use the latter to make a change gear, but then you can also use the custom gear in the lathe for threading.

I have been working on the design for a new version which I think will be more practical and user-friendly, so hope to get started on this as time allows. I’m thinking it will be half way between a faired velomobile and unfaired trike. So with a partial fairing/rain cover. I’ve got all the bits from the prototype so hoping to put them to good use soon. If I could retire from work I’d have time for all the stuff I want to do!

I ALLAYS BELIEVED IF I WAS TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR, AS YOUR LEGS MUST BE OVER THE GRAVITY CENTER POINT.. YOUR BODY SHOULD BE WELL BELOW, TO COMPENSATE, HENCE MAKING THE UNION POINT BETWEEN THE CHASSIS AND THE SWINGING ARM, WELL HIGH, SO WHEN YOU START THE TURN WITH THE HANDLEBARS, THE BODY MASS THEN WILL SHIFT THE WEIGHT TOWARDS THE CURVE..

  • @uberdenwolken4564
    @uberdenwolken4564 Před měsícem

    If you place the joints from the lower arms more to each side, the inner wheel will tilt more while the outer wheel tilts less. And if you add the steering you must have a straight line between the wheel ground contact point, the outer joint of the lower arm and the outer joint of the upper arm. With this turning axis you can steer easily without having the wheels to move or rub on the ground when steering. (I hope this made sense as I‘m no native speaker)

    it is pointless in this setup with regular tailstock, you NEED the sliding one to have any good use out of this setup, because you lose everything cranking the thing, and you have no depth stop and no fast retrack, can of course use it without locking the tailstock for some operations, but overall it is pretty pointless so - do yourself a favor and make one if you can't find one from another lathe and adopt it, its dead simple since no high accuracy is required, good to have the accuracy, but not strictly necessary

I learned a lot as I consider building a tilting tadpole cargo trike with tandem for me and my disabled daughter. You will fly by us encased in carbon fiber if all goes to plan.

      Thanks! I think the solution to twitchy steering is a higher overall centre of gravity. I have a second version on the drawing board which addresses this. I’m also thinking more along the lines of a partial fabric covering rather than full carbon fibre. This would in theory reduce drag and also give rain protection. Good luck with your project, hope it goes well.
