- Ep 27 Making a Micro / Mini / Small Lathe (Main Spindle Guard + Sticker from Andrew & Michelle @ Model Engineering Adventures
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.

Ah, cartboard templates. Simple and effective.
Can't beat a bit of old fashioned CAD, Michel👍👍👍👍
cheers
Kev
All the mathematics of a. successful 3d structure achieved with a pencil and a scissor and a bit of tape. It's a miracle!
@@howder1951 cheers H1951
can't beat old school technology, and as cheap as chips🤣🤣😉😉👍👍
I really wasn't sure about plastic on such a beautiful old machine, so I gotta admit it looks great!
cheers Mr & Mrs T
didn't want to hide all that work i had done👍👍👍

Kev
I truly cannot get over how beautiful this little machine has turned out to be.
It is a genuine piece of functional art and looks like it has been sitting in a museum for a hundred years waiting to be used again.
Good on ya Kev, you have very rare natural talents.
Thank you very much! BN👍👍👍👍
Wait till you see it on the Cast Iron Stand may be ep32
with brass namplates maybe ep 34/35
Regards
Kev
Morning Kev. You definitely can’t beat Cardboard Aided Design. Excellent work 👏👏👍😀
Beats all the mod cons Andrew😉😉👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much

Gday Kev, I think using Perspex really suits this build, you can still see all the workings and craftsmanship, great job mate, cheers
Thanks 👍 Matty
Yes that was the plan. Thanks for feedback
see you next time

Kev
Hello Kev,
You have become the Perspex king of CZcams... Nicely done...
Take care.
Paul,,
Wow, thanks Paul
Persplexing!!😄😄👍👍👍
see you next time,

Kev
Great job as always Kev 👍
Thanks for the visit Matt
Can't wait to get it on the Cast Iron Stand, it will make the vintage look Spot on, ep.32!!!
regards
Kev
Looks great Kev. It's technically a brand new lathe and we have had plexiglass for the best part of a century, so a great choice for your 'Vintage' machine.
Best wishes, Dean.
Thanks 👍 Dean
didn't realise perpex had been around that long, you've armed me with an answer for some who think different now.
I didn't want to hide all the years worth of work i had done.👍
Watch out for the Cast Iron Stand coming soon, probably ep.32
and watch out for the naming ceromony prob ep 34 /35
atb👍👍👍👍
Kev
Looking forward to the stand. As always a great job. Thanks for sharing your engineering journeys it's much appreciated. 👍
Thanks 👍 Matthew
cast iron stand in P32 i think, so not long to put the icing on the cake!!😉😄👍

Kev
Good morning good morning - great video and excellent progress on that lathe. It is wonderfully intricate.
Good Afternoon by now Stuart, 😉😉👍👍
Thanks very much, heading towards the final hurdle. got a great cast iron stand coming soon to keep the vintage look
ATB
Kev
thanks for the comments ...good luck with the Stirling engine there fun to make
Thanks A & M,
No problem and good luck with your projects👍👍
look forward to seeing your progress
regards
Kev
That's another great job Kev, your little lathe is coming on a treat.
cheers Doug
getting closer to finished in inverted comma's,
watch out soon (may be part 32) for making a cast iron stand which really makes the lathe look vintage
thanks for the usual feedback, appreciated

Kev
Another really effective addition Kev looks really clean and smart too. 😀
Thanks 👍 Julia
didn't want to hide all the work i'd done👍

Kev
@@MrFactotum quite right Kev 😀
That is awesome work. You could put a magnet on the end of the stopper stud that locates on the cast iron frame to secure the guard and keep it from rattling. Then again that could also get filled with swarf and be a pain in the a...... Just a thought. Amazing build.
thanks GB8016
Thought i'd shown the magnet, i hung a screwdriver from it, probably wasn't very clear.
thanks again for the feedback👍👍👍👍👍
appreciated

Kev
Looks good. That should prevent any mishaps.
cheers Tom & Khaos😉
didn't want to hide all the years worth of work i've done

Nice job again on the perspex guard Kev. Clear view of the pulleys and gears turning. Cheers Nobby
Cheers Nobby
Yes didn't want to hide all the mechanism, after all that work.
many thanks
👍👍👍👍👍👍atb
Kev
Good work Kev. Looks the busness. Just one more to make.
Steve.
cheers Steve,
one more guard a few more video's to finish it off
many thanks👍👍👍👍
Kev
Neatly done. Like the magnet catch.
Cheers Ben
That came to me in bed, like most things🤣🤣👍👍👍

@@MrFactotum I am not going to comment on what comes to you in bed.....
Very nice choice of material, it looks great on the lathe!
Thank you! Cheers! H1951👍👍
i didn't want to hide all the work i had done!!
coming towards the end a few more videos, watch out for the Cast Iron stand soon maybe ep.32 !!
appreciate the feedback

@@MrFactotum Have you chosen a colour yet, or will it be a surprise?
@@howder1951 Hope i don't dissapoint you H1951, but the castings skin have took about 60 year to get there current Patina (Dark Gunmetal Grey) and they are staying like that, personal preference but they look great with a coat of oil rubbed over them😄😄😉😉👍👍 but i have chosen a name, watch this space for that.😉😉👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@MrFactotum Great choice! Keeping the aged look instead of just out of the factory look, I love them both, thanks for the quick comment, cheers!
Very neat Kev. Thanks mate.
cheers Mark
gettiing toward the end now.
thanks fir your usual feedback
appreciate it
Kev
It keeps you safe and doesn't spoil the look of your micro lathe great design. Would be great if you did a sterling or any kind of engine on your micro lathe it's something i have wanted to do for a while but every time I look at stock metal prices I think I'll wait to i find some cheap old scraps but unfortunately that is going for a premium last time i looked. Great video as always.
hi John, thought i'd just replied to this but it dissapeared!!!!!!
thanks very much, 👍👍👍👍
yes i didn't want to do all that work just to hide it.
Watch this space for the Low Temperature Differential Engine, might just do a simplified version to start with, using what ever at hand or cheap materials, or recycled, i'm still as tight as cramp🤣🤣🤣🤣
see you next time
regards
Kev
@MrFactotum cheers Kev sounds good.
Hi key
It's 06.00. First video
You're an expert in perspex bending. (Not only....)
Nothing else to say 👍👍👍👍👍😢
Olivier
Thanks! 😃Olivier
your up early!!! as they say over here "early birds catch the worm"
i wouldn't say expert, i'm still learning😄😉👍👍
cheers
Kev

Have a good sunday.
Nice video, LIKE ! ! !
Thanks for the visit👍👍👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂
good video Kev
Thank you TPM
much appreciated👍👍👍👍👍👍

Kev
The history of the micro lathe was it a production lathe or a kit lathe or something you made from bits a pieces?
Kit from down under
hi Kit
all parts made from items around my workshop nothing bought as as tight as cramp🤣
the casting for the lathe bed and tailstock turned up at are model engineering society shop from a shed clearout. i bought them for next to nothing, and have produced the working lathe, all the history etc is in my Intro to this playlist.
many thanks
Kev
