Cut *any* thread pitch on a metal lathe
zhlédnutí 108KPřed měsícem
The threading table for my Vevor metal lathe was very inaccurate, so I set about to come up with a much more accurate thread cutting table. With five gears that can be swapped out, It's possible to approximate any arbitrary thread pitch with surprising accuracy. I also tried making some wooden gears to explore the possibility of just making custom gears for it. My gear program: woodgears.ca/gea...

A different way to attach table legs
zhlédnutí 210KPřed 3 měsíci
Building a table for the kids to do their crafts on, and a different way of attaching the table legs, without an "apron" around it. Simpler and leaves more room under the table, but makes it less stiff. But the hardwood trim helps to stiffen up the table top. More table builds: woodgears.ca/table/
Why all the hate for Vevor?
zhlédnutí 220KPřed 3 měsíci
Reflecting on my experience with Vevor, and how they are quite ok with honest reviews pointing out some of their flaws, and how that, surprisingly, may be a good marketing strategy. So far have two Vevor products. The lathe which after some tweaking, I'm happy with, and the milling table, which I bought. The lead screws on it are crap, but I'm actually thinking about buying a second one.

    Amazing work!!! I bounced around an idea of building a 10" after I got a craftsman 10" because it still needed a few parts to make it work. After seeing this video I'm seriously considering building a big one rather than buying one simply for the price of buy one is ridiculous. You are amazing man, keep up the great work.

    I just got a 7 x 14 Vevor Mini Lathe. I also have a Sieg X2D Mini Mill, also Chinese made. I got the mini mill new on ebay for $325 and free shipping. I am impressed how good it is for the price. They both need work, scrapping, lapping improving parts etc. but that is an opportunity for a novice machinist to practice and hone their skills. I want to squeeze all of the precision that I can out of these tools, then I can start making parts for an epoxy granite CNC, get it running and use it to improve it's own parts. I have more time than money. If money was no option I'd buy a high end CNC with micron accuracy.

    This is a classic of MW where he can work around any "anomalies" in making things work. The moment I saw he bought a chunk of metal that resembled a spindle, I knew this was going to be a very interesting and entertaining one. Just 5 min into the video, I knew the parts look mostly factory rejects (=floor sweepings) that will need the ingenious mind to overcome the "CC (Cheap Chinese) parts

    I built a slot moritiser in the same general family as yours using those same bearings, and found that while the bearing block castings are inaccurate (comically so), the hole pattern for mounting them is very accurate to the bore. It was some extremely tedious layout but it worked out. I did also use socket head screws and very slightly oversized holes, which obviously helped.

    Think of the handle as a separate piece that just moves over the back edge, then the front can hinge up normally and sit as it does here. This isn't smarter, it's over engineered!

    • @virtualdarks6397
      @virtualdarks6397 Před 7 hodinami

      as Matthias pointed out in your original comment, the handle being a separate piece that hinges would mean that those new hinges would need to bear the full load of the heavy toolbox. the arms connecting the handle to the body would also have to be at least half the depth of the toolbox making for longer moment arms which produces a less stable/comfortable carrying experience. compare that against the mechanism in the video which rigidly connects the handle to the body with short connection arms (shown at 1:04). unsolicited pro tips by the way: 1. if an alternative arm chair solution seems so dead brain simple, there's a high chance the original manufacturer already attempted it and found some reason to refute it; and 2. ending your sentences in an ellipsis comes across as exceptionally dismissive. and if you already knew that, then what else were you expecting?

  • @Drokkstar_
    @Drokkstar_ Před 4 dny

    I wonder, could you try turning the teeth upside down to cut instead of scrape? Or is that angle too steep? Because I'm guessing the power difference was mostly due to the extra weight - having to 'spin up to speed' constantly as it's being slowed down by (slightly higher?) scraping friction. There's also the fact it's cutting at every degree of rotation, not just on the opposite faces? The shelix isn't cutting as much with each tooth (maybe only 2 or 3 engaged at any one moment), but it's a constant force, rather than the intermittent one of the flat blade. It feels like that would be more of a drag.

  • @jamest.5001
    @jamest.5001 Před 4 dny

    How would you feel about routing grooves in the wood, to inlay a steel bracing or frame?; to then be epoxied in place, basically equal to building it from light steel , and bracing it with wood, and im thinking on parts like 8:57, possibly make them from foam and cast from iron /steel or aluminum, from old aluminum car rims, brake rotors , to reduce wear on the gears!!! This is an AWESOME PROJECT i been thinking about this myself, and habing the spindle move and the work surface both moving roughly 12" +/- would make it exceptional maybe 12" snd up to 18" and 36"-42" left and right from center to allow approximately a total 72"- 84" full motion, and 12"-16" from center in/out of the work table, add a compound sliding vise to the table, it can do about anything!

  • @outdoordreamer
    @outdoordreamer Před 5 dny

    im guessing you're already thinking this way, but a stack of sheaves and drive pulleys could be implemented here too, like you would see in a drill press. alternatively, an ECM motor with a controller/drive would allow you to dial in the RPMs for different cutting heads/bits with your creativity, an HVAC supplier might have an inexpensive ECM motor to play with.

    When mounting parallel rails mount the center first with only one point that you can pivot on and then do the ends and you will hit it spot on.
