Re: Mini lathe motor temperature
I tested the gauge with boiling water witch is 100°C. It was on the mark.?
Note: Use distilled water only
If over 500 foot above some correction is need ti temperature.??

Re: Mini lathe motor temperature
With temperature gauge I can see I needs to run at full speed
It low cost cost item to save from buying a $160.00 motor .
1) I first was think of using a time delay fuse.? The remember thd low speed may not use full ampage.?
2) Next fan sounds great but fan gets block of dies not good.?
3) Then thermal switch ok but motor is And not running.?
I want to before it happens so take it easy or a coffee with lathe running to cool down. I also did find after the motor burn up and is ready for new motor.?

Dave, I am wondering.... Have you been running the motor at less than full speed? The cooling on these is typically based on the motor running at full speed so the fan can move enough air to maintain somewhat reasonable cooling. If you find you are running the lathe slower then I would recommend either an increased reduction belt drive (so the motor can run faster whilst keeping the spindle speed lower) and/or a separate cooling fan for the motor.?
On my first heavily modified mini I added a cover to the rear of the motor and attached some light flexible hose (Hoover vac hose) that is attached to a small squirrel cage blower with a bit of filter media on the blower inlet. This keeps the motor cooler and also keeps swarf from being taken in the motor.
Just my thoughts, Cheers

You're drilling lots of these holes, so it would waste too much time to use a spotting drill, mill flats on the rod, and so on. Instead I would use a guide block, but different than the one in your picture. You say everything is locked to the table, but I see your hand holding the rod. I suggest drilling and tapping your guide so a setscrew? (maybe one on each side) could hold the rod in place.? Also, I would make the guide of steel and MUCH taller. There should be? by 5-10 mm of metal supporting the drill bit before it reaches the rod. If the drill is supported like?that, it should easily make the holes.
Mike Taglieri?
Thanks boys, you have given me some new idea. ? I am lazy, so I will first shorten a drillbit to minimum so it will not be so flexible. Only 3 mm visible length. I have a good mill. The rod is cheap hard metal, however, everything is locked very well to table . The drill is new and of good quality. Regrinding a 1 mm drill is difficult. Litlebit wrong grinding, and the drill will jump around. ? If this not work well, I will make a punch and hammer a mark for the drill. Maybe I have a 1 mm center drill??

The idea of a spotting drill is they have an angle slightly bigger than your drill, so 120 or 140 degree is typical.? This means the drill starts off nice and centred as opposed to what happens with something like a centre punch. ? But yeah, they’re not really all that good at drilling holes.? Terrible chip clearance and all that. ? You can get 90 degree ones for countersinking screw heads, they do a better jo than a countersink drill because you can match them to the screw head diameter and recess them a bit.?

Use a spotting drill to make a pilot hole. They're roughly the same thing
as a centre drill except wider tip angle (centre drill is 60 degree).
Then again a centre drill would probably work just fine given you're only
drilling 1mm holes.
You might also consider bits used for drilling circuit boards (PCBs).
Normally those are carbide, but you can get HSS ones. They have a 3mm shank
and the fluted part will be 5-10mm, so stiffer than a typical drill.
The carbide versions need high speed (above 20k) and are very brittle, but
could work. Not in your drill press though, you need something like those
air die grinders for that.
Possible that mounting the carbide drill in the lathe and the steel bar on
the tool post might work. I've put my die grinder on the tool post and used
it to drill holes and grind stuff.

Maybe this is wrong group, however, a lot of clever members:
I have to make a lot of 1 mm holes in 2 mm steel rods. I have made a guide, and as you see, a lot of testing guide hole to compensate for different drilling twisting forces.
My questions:
1) what is the best start method to make a start mark?
2) when I am drilling:
a) constant soft pressure?
b) pumping up/down to release spoon
(My steel are only making dust)

If drilling "a lot" of holes, milling a flat on the rod is not practical.
A grooved block with a guide hole will be far more practical
