Keep me posted on the baby lathe conversion. I also have one I want to convert for making real small parts.
That's one hell of a great workshop. Love Garfield's cousin too.
No lost space there, love it, interesting that CNC is over my head for now and possible years to come, I think the cat is the BOSS and in the second picture he does not look happy, thanks, Lathe Nut
Nice collection of tools! The cat certainly looks like the master of the house!
It looks like you do a lot of machine build and modification your self. Is the little CNC router purchased or self built?
Hi Oxotnik,
Where are you located in China?
Spent time in Nanjing in the early 80s and again the 00s running an air compressor plant.
Nanjing Food is 180 degrees different from GuangZhou food.Had a tough time adapting.
Nanjing Dialect is different from my Singapore Chinese Dialect. Been fun adapting.
Trust you are having a great time there. Machine tool accessories and cutters are so cost effective.
Your machineshop look so clean and high-tech.
Hello!
Thankyou for the photos of your workshop. I could not but notice that you have the same small Seig X2 lathe as do I. I am a bit of a computer luddite so I will suggest something: In the topic Machine Modifications there is a post on the top of page 3 entitled "Steamboat Willie's Lathe Mods". If I knew more about computers I would cleverly post the link and you could just click. However as I am not I invite you to look at this post which is a treatise on how I improved the tailstock usability on my Seig lathe. I am sure that you have found the tailstock design on the lathe a right pain to use (as did I), so I came up with a solution that involved minimal alteration to the machine itself. Given the superb standard of your workshop I feel almost duty-bound to suggest this improvement to your machine to assist you in avoiding "Tailstock Rage"!!!
Thanks for the photos!
Bill.
Nice view on the lights, what is the city? I spent 2 months working in Wuhan this year and may be spending some more time next year, really enjoyed my time while in China. Mike
Hi, Gus. Nanjing is way too catered towards the pro/industrial grade machining. Most all my toolings for hobby stuff are bought online from the southern provinces. Nontheless, a pretty nice city; fairly laid back I'd say...
Hi Gus. I am located
