Homier Lathe Arrived Today !

Su Gardner All Messages By This Member #18424 I order a Homier over the weekend and got it today! I had planned on spending the evening cleaning it up, but there was no red grease to be found. All the bare metal had a light coat of oil on it. The back splash and pan were both dented, but no creases and I was able to straighten them out just fine. Unfortunately, my Enco order won't arrive until tomorrow so I have no tools yet (or anything to cut). I ran it per the instructions to break it in and realized that 2500 RPM is pretty fast. I was surprised at how quietly and smoothly it runs. What speeds are used for cutting aluminum? steel? Ed
Mike Payson #18425 Hi Ed, You can find info on cutting speeds (and lots more info) on the LMS reference page aqt . If you haven't seen it, be sure to check out their mini-lathe manual as well, available at .

Su Gardner All Messages By This Member #18426 Thanks, Mike. The link no longer works but I found it
Mike Payson #18427 Hmm... Did you copy the period at the end of the sentence? The link works fine for me. It's the link to their reference section, rather then directly to the cutting speeds page, though. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 3/21/07, Ed <edo@...> wrote: Thanks, Mike.

Su Gardner All Messages By This Member #18428 I just clicked on it as posted - it looks like the period got included as part of the hyperlink. It works without it. Thanks.

Roy All Messages By This Member #18450 It's not worth the effort to calculate speeds! In production shops, it's a big deal, on the concept of "time is money." For hobbying it's easier to just start slow & increase speed until either the machine protests or you get uncomfortable with it. The nifty speed/feed tables you see are intended for maximum throughput on infinitely rigid, flood cooled production machines with no consideration for tool life. As a generality you'll get better tool life at lower speeds & lighter feeds, to a point where you can spend your time making things instead of sharpening tools.

born4something All Messages By This Member #18453 Hi Roy, Ed, While I pretty much agree with you Roy, I found it useful to reference some tables initially. Starting from a pretty low experience base it was reassuring to know I was in the ballpark for my material.

Mike Payson #18457 In case you missed it, Paul Moir posted a useful cheat sheet today. What makes it particularly handy is that, in addition to showing the appropriate speed for a given material & Diameter, he gives you a guid to show approximately what dial position represents any given speed. Very useful. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 3/21/07, Ed <edo@...> wrote: I order a Homier over the weekend and got it today!

Su Gardner All Messages By This Member #18458 Roy & John, thanks. I'm sure I'll figure it out, but wanted a starting point. Your explanation of the tables explains why the calculator tells me I should be turning a 1/2" aluminum rod at 4,000 RPM.

Ronald Durbin All Messages By This Member #18478 Thanks, Mike. I had trouble getting the page, too. Just a thought, could this be put on the 7x12 Group site, in the Database Files? "Down the road", this could be very helpful for new members. Thanks, Ron. Keep makin' chips! ---- Mike Payson <mike@...> wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Works fine for me.

Su Gardner All Messages By This Member #18490 I couldn't open it either, thanks for the mirror, Mike; and thank you Paul for posting. I've been thinking of what I can cover the Speedway Series label with and your drawings and speed table may just be the ticket.
moir_p All Messages By This Member #18496 I'm surprised and glad to hear so many people found that helpful. And please accept my apologies for the lousy (free) hosting. I tested it as best I could with Firefox and konqueror and they seemed to work fine with it. Thank you Mike for providing an alternative! Those speed control divisions are what appear on my non-Sieg mini-lathe. If someone's got a set that would be more helpful or popular, I would only be too happy to redraw it to suit. If hosting ever disappears entirely or some trouble is met, please feel free to contact me by email and I'll send them along. toggle quoted message Show quoted text --- In 7x12minilathe@..., "Ed" <edo@...> wrote: I couldn't open it either, thanks for the mirror, Mike; and thank you Paul for posting.

Michael Taglieri #19133 After problems with that years ago, I no longer put a period after a URL if it ends a sentence (instead, I just leave a long space after it). Too many people have e-mail programs that automatically include the period, then you get complaints that the page wouldn't open. Mike Taglieri miket--nyc@...
