- STEP file and some PLANS available for people who joined channel support membership or my Patreon. But keep in mind that it is a typical "DIY" machine, I'm an hobbyist and it is not perfect. These are the plans I created ( but keep in mind I've done little modifications on the battle-field if any were necessary as it is a prototype build it might slightly vary from what you see in the video). But it might help to get on the right track :)
So... This is a short video about how to make a homemade CNC Metal Lathe. It took me about 5-6 months doing it in free time. There was a lot to improve and many things didn't work at the begining but now it seems to work in the way I thought it will work. I'm quite happy of it as it cost me about $1300 if I don't count the time spent in the garage. That gave me a lot of experience so it is valueable for me. That was a fun project which might help me in making future machines / projects / prototypes. I hope you will like this video. During making this machine I was sharing my progress videos which you can find on my channel too. I'm making sometimes also videos about DIY CNC / DIY machines / Welding related stuff. If you enjoy or find this helpful give me a thumbs up and subscribe for more such content. Thank you!

Mate, this is frankly astonishing. At several points, I thought "no way is that going to be square". firstly, I was sure that the frame wasn't going to be perfectly square, which would throw everything else out....then I was sure that your head stock construction wouldn't be perfectly square....and so on, right until the end. You must have some master craftsman level skill to pull all of that together and for it to work so well. And the double kick in the balls to us newbies is how fucking great it looks too!
I watched the "Lets Learn Something" video on making a lathe and I thought the same thing about his construction....you guys must have some sort of extra instinct or special power to be able to put raw steel tube and plate together and it all end up square... Bravo!!
I'm glad you like it 😂Nah, but seriously - everyone knows it can't be PERFECTLY square. But at this point I think it came up pretty great. Measuring the angle between the spindle axis and Z axis in vertical and horizontal direction there is no visible angle in the horizontal plane and verticaly there is about 0,02 degree. I've spent some time adjusting it and I wasn't able to make it closer to zero. This makes about 0,08mm difference on the whole working space (using a dial gauge for measurements) if you measure the diameter of a 30h6 cylinder. Runout on the spindle - 0,03mm - pretty good in my opinion for such bearings used IMO. Let's learn something inspired me to make such a machine and I'm really happy with it - it's not perfect but for hobby use in my workshop it does the job. Thanks for watching! 😄
all the parts and metal must have still cost a small fortune, no ? do u think it was worth it, or was it more about the journey?
New subscriber here. I acquired an older lathe that was cobbled together from a couple other ones just so I could have one to make parts for my small engine repair business on. I deal with lots of obsolete motors and machines. I need to modify my lathe to work wit a stepper motor such as the one you have here in this build. By the way Fantastic work my friend. I am recovering from a horrific accident that happened a little over 18 months ago on my 1957 Harley. I can walk now but it is time to get back to work and start the business soon after. The ability to program will be indispensable. Thank you, John
Good luck with your work sir and wish you much health. Thank you for watching :)
Patience, desire to complete build, focusing on skill set and good knowledge. It is you type of individuals who create and show that is joyful reason for spending productivity and time viewing You Tube. This makes me pray that some day myself or my off-spring will be as productive as you all have shown us. Awesome job and a great project. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟⚡
Haha thank you! I'm really glad you like mu work! Really appreciate your comment ☺😁☺
I'm blown away by this build, great job!
Thank you! 😁
You are incredible and having a fantastic skill.Even I am a machinist but still salute you,bro.God bless you and have a nice day.
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. Have a fantastic day! 😁
well it's a lathe czcams.com/users/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.
Did the blue loctite take the play out??
nothing short of amazing mate. very impressive
Man even in your description the level of detail and care u took just with that!!! Your build is exceptional keep inspiring excellence !!!!!!
Haha, I'm glad you like it 😁
Станок просто бомба!!! Такие творения конечно вдохновляют на подвиги!!!
Ха-ха, я рад, что вам нравится моя работа! :) Постараюсь в скором времени поделиться более интересными сборками! :)

Автору большое уважение, думаю за это время он понял все свои промахи в конструкции. Как получение опыта в слесарном деле отлично 👍
Это определенно правильно!
@@GBWM_CNC не могу не согласиться , если есть много времени , решение самое то ! Удачи и успехов в начинаниях !
AMAZING. GOOD JOB.
great build and nice color choice, my tools are all Sublime Green Metallic. I didn't think a homemade lathe would be a good idea due to complexity but this shows that if you build it as a CNC with a digital motor from the ground up then you may omit the complexity of speed changes and threading gear boxes. I will try this myself rather than converting a Grizzly lathe
Thanks! This is exactly right - the complexity of a gearbox would make it much harder. But a simple VFD / encoder and CNC controller does the job just right :) But stiffness might be the problem. You should consider converting a Grizzly lathe with adding the CNC aspect which might be a good idea
color is the most important propery of a lathe

Muito obrigado!
Nice, you are very smart! the CNC metal lathe looks good!
Thank you for watching! 😁
Subscribed, liked, and impressed. Great build.
I'm glad you like it 😁😁 I'll try my best to make better and better videos!
I think you're the first person I watch on CZcams that actually knows how to use and weld accurately with a migwelder😂
Great video
I'm glad to hear such compliment :)
Amazing work! Very cleaver and congrats on your build. Appreciate your filming it for our benefit. Just one question - roughly speaking, how many total hours would you say that you spent on this project?
Hard to answer - i didn't count that exactly. Maybe like 250-300 hours.
O projeto.esteve todo tempo.em sua cabeça. Inteligência prática. 👏👏👏
Que eu me lembre , ele fez o desenho em um CAD.
Well-done mate amazing job 👍
I'm glad you like it 😁
Craftsmanship to the highest standard,fabulous work mate,actually better than some of the factory built lathe machines.Definitely gonna give it a try to build one in my workshop,just to be away from the nagging wife.👍👍👍👍
Suggest you sort out the reason for the nagging or you'll soon be paying for a divorce.
Super staklytės, geriau už gamyklines
Caramba, muito bom! Parabéns pelo trabalho.
Obrigada! 😁
Totally blown away. Genius
thank you! :)

That’s a beast of a lathe. You’re going to need a forklift just to move that thing. If you ever have to haul that beast somewhere, you’re going to need a box truck with a lift gate. I’d ask if you had any plans with dimensions for everything so I could build my own, but I think it would be too big for anything I’d want to fabricate. You did a great job fabricating it.
Haha! 😉
Well done, that is a hard project to go from start to completion. Very nice build. How long did it take you to do this project?
Thank you! From the basic design to the finished machine it was like 5-6 months - during my free time after work - not every day though. I've got much inspiration from other people posting videos on youtube which made this built much easier. This community is really great and helpful.

Amazing job mate!!
Thanks!
Hey Man, you truly did an amazing work...!!! Thank you to sharing it with us. I would like to ask you about the software you have used to make a 3d model and adjust it according your need. Keep going ....👍
F360 is the main software I use. It's great for hobbyst
@@GBWM_CNC Thank you so much
This is really cool. Just curious but I wonder if you could increase stability by filling the hollow metal with a rock and epoxy mix to add weight and rigidity. But I have no idea if that would actually do anything, awesome machine. Will probably try to make my won one day.(can't right now, no place to put it :/_)
Epoxy - rock mix would be a good idea for vibration damping. But at this moment i need it to be mobile as i have lack of place as well so sometimes i have to move it a bit and mass wouldnt help here 😁
The headstock could be stiffened with steel plates. Welding metal to the outside risks heat distortion but bolted on plates might help.
Woahhh amazing! Worth it to watch aside from movie 👍🙏 you can inspired many through your video, it’s educational as well. Really amazing you do it alone! 🙏👍🇵🇭🇲🇾
I'm glad you like it! :)

Good morning sir
Делал лично 2 фрезерных станка, первый рабочее поле 500х800х100, второй рабочее поле 1500х1200х250.
Делал на тяжелых 90-х профилях BOSCH Rexroth, ставил SKF ШВП и рельсы, т.е лучшее, что можно купить за адекватные деньги, не китайчатина.
Так вот, уверенно могу утверждать, что промышленные чугунные станки будут и лучше и точнее, но немного дороже, раза в 2 всего то.
Потому рекомендую при необходимости покупать только промышленные станки, а самоделки это чисто для души, потому что нравится мастерить.
Точно. Знания, полученные в ходе такого развлечения, бесценны.
Amazing work!
Thank you! 😁
Good to see you using the same metal-cutting technique as This Old Tony.

Hai fatto un lavoro incredibile e faticoso. Grande impegno e passione per la meccanica moderna (cnc), sei un ottimo carpentiere metallico. Ti faccio i miei complimenti. Tuttavia devo dirti che il bisturi e il coltello da carne servono entrambi per tagliare; ma sono sicuro che non ti faresti fare mai un bypass con il secondo attrezzo. Il Tornio è una meravigliosa macchina, frutto di millenni di esperienza. Nella meccanica di precisione( e il tornio è una di queste) l'elemento essenziale è la rigidezza e tu sai a cosa mi riferisco. Comunque grazie per la simpatica condivisione.
Sono consapevole che questa non è una macchina molto rigida. MA considerando che può tagliare passaggi di luce, può fare il suo lavoro per un piccolo laboratorio domestico aumentando notevolmente le mie capacità di lavorazione a casa. grazie per la visione! 😁
❤️❤️Nice work broo..
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it

I don't doubt it brother! Quality content has the tendency to draw a lot of enthusiastic creators and people that just like to watch this stuff, we share stuff, you know... ;)
Ottima realizzazione "Fai Da Te", ottima capacità e abilità nel lavoro manuale di costruzione e di messa a punto. Dato che il progetto è arrivato ad un buon livello migliorerei lo schema dei cuscinetti testa mandrino sostituendoli con un canotto e cuscinetti a contatto obliquo in bagno d'olio per avere più capacità di carico, silenziosità e precisione. In futuro si potrebbe migliorare anche la testa porta utensile ma questo ultimo aspetto e utile solo se si vuole aumentare la capacità produttiva. In ogni modo complimenti per l'ottima realizzazione.
Grazie! Sono contento che ti piaccia il mio lavoro. Apprezzo i tuoi suggerimenti: li prenderò in considerazione quando realizzerò un nuovo tornio CNC che è previsto. Ma questa volta probabilmente userò un mandrino di una grande fresatrice manuale.
Excellent!!!
Thanks! :)
