I made a lathe before, it worked great but needs a new spindle and it had lots of problems. So I thought I'd start a new one.
This one will be made of all scraps, I'm using what I have. I know it will be very small and not very strong since the X and Z slides will be made from .092" aluminum plate.
If this is successful, I will make a larger one from .25" steel plate. This one is only a prototype.
Here is all the scraps cut out to make the X and Z movements.
Milling the 45* angles with a 90* (metric) countersink. (on a thought, do metric countersinks have metric shanks?)
All four female sides milled.
Also milled the male side.
This is how they will fit together.
Thanks for checking this out, hopefully more tomorrow.
