Re: X axis DRO, my next project

 

I did smoothing?similar years ago, but I only had a 1-inch travel dial indicator..
What I have found to be really useful in conjunction with the dial indicator is an adjustable stop between the carriage and the head stock.
By the way, I get the best finish by hand-feeding toward the head stock and power feed toward the tail stock.

Hi Ryan,

I opted for the "poor mans DRO"on the X axis of my lathe. I made up a simple clamp that allow me to use a 2" dial indicator against the carriage to measure travel. Cheap and easy to install/remove as needed. No batteries to wear out and no electrical interference. Granted, it's only 2" of travel, but it's easily adjusted and seems to be adequate for most jobs I do.

There is a mini mill group right here in groups.io but the last message I see in it is from 8/19/2021.

Most just post here for mini mill questions. It¡¯s up to the moderators to control it. I like having them all together in here. It was pretty much the same people who are in here. And the ones who wanted to talk CNC all the time have moved to a CNC group leaving the mini mill group vacant.

Re: Mini Lathe - Mini Mill

 

Hi Floyd,

Not having installed that exact kit, I can't say for sure, but I did install the metric lead screw conversion kit and there was little to no discernible difference in backlash between the new and the original. Also, I would think if you already have DRO's installed it's kind of a moot point anyway?

Re: Mini Lathe - Mini Mill

 

Went to that mini-mill forum and I'm a member. So I sent a test notification to my browser and didn't get it. I guess I need to play with it a bit until I get the notifications.

My mill has the Fignoggle adjustable nuts on the lead screws so it actually has very little backlash. I also have DRO's on all the axis. I just wondered if it would be worth the effort to change out the lead screws. Thanks for the heads up on that forum.

Re: LMS 5200 Lathe motor

 

Hi Jon, I am just an occasional user of the lathe, mill and band saw.
The motors have all performed excellently.
I use the foot pedal on the mill and bandsaw with a 100k POT on the lathe for speed control.
Using reverse is a pain with the stock controller, which I am "thinking" of replacing.
I just substituted?the pulleys with adapters for the motor shaft.
I am "thinking" of mounting the lathe motor directly on the jackshaft with the pulley reversed
essentially?eliminating any pulleys as far as speed control goes. I have a Craftsman?12x36 lathe.
I highly recommend?the motors especially for the cost/performance.

Re: Steady rest tune-up

 


--

Since I have just been cleaning and painting a steady that was given to me for my Boxford A lathe, your post caught my attention. I like the big open gate at the top. It bolts onto the ways with a plate underneath the bed. ? I have been using this with no problems. It has hardened steel fingers. I have not seen significant damage to my work, but it can be expected. Just plan for it I suppose and expect to re-turn the circumference later, when you can fit a tailstock center. ?I have been turning stainless steel, which can handle it. I love the way it forces the work to stay concentric. This is important for the ER32 collet holder I am making for a grinding/milling-motor attachment to go on the cross-slide in place of the compound slide. ?(Love Quinn Dunkie's work. I don't have a milling machine, but then a milling tool on the cross-slide might help.).

X axis DRO, my next project

 

Hi all.

For my next lathe project I'm thinking about adding an X axis DRO.? It's really the one axis there's no built in measurement for and I think I'd really like it for boring to a specific depth and tasks like that.? I'm currently looking at the Shars stainless 24" units as I have a x14.

If anyone has tried these, how do they deal with all the electrical "noise" from the lathe?? I have three 6" Mitutoyo digital calipers and two sets absolutely freak out within three or four feet of the lathe if it is running.? The other set is okay and my 4" Vinca are good.? I'm concerned the Shars DRO won't deal with the noise either so any experience with the Shars or any brand, good or bad would be appreciated.? Thanks!
