- Ep 34 Putting It Off No Longer!! Make a Micro/Mini/Small Lathe (Compound & Tailstock Graduation Marks)
#modelengineering #howtomake #lathe
This lathe was briefly started many many years ago by an unknown Engineer, passed through a few pairs of hands since with nothing else done to it, until i got hold of it, so i will continue with the small amount of work already done, to finish the lathe in to a Imperial Micro / Mini / Watchmakers Lathe with screw cutting capabilities & back geared, everything has got to be made from Scratch including the Back Gears, Clutch, Change wheels, Leadscrew, Tailsock, Spindle, Pulley's, Screwcutting Mechanism, Dials etc etc just to name a few. The casting is very elegant and well made item, with a good foundation to start from.
There were numerous manufactures of these small lathe in Great Britain many moon's ago, to many to name here, so do a search and take a look at the huge seclection of makers and differing shapes, sizes and capabilities.

Great stuff. I very much like the idea of running a second, high speed, spindle on the same mill 👍
Thanks 👍 Matt

Hi kev, just thinking out loud here, could you put a Vernier scale on the top slide to line up with the base you've just engraved so that you can get accurate sub division of the 5° increments?
eyup olly
thanks for for your thoughts, maybe a future project, if really needed, got one or two things in mind for future, if and when time permits😄👍👍👍
thanks for feedback

cheers Andrew👍👍

I would like to make a guide for my stamp letters too, but the letters arent in the same posision on the shafts of the stamps. So, that doesn't work.
hi Michel👍👍👍👍
yes i have some like that, i use them for freehand work
It's a problem as i can't throw anything away😄

Kev
