Thats exactly what I mend. Sorry if it was unclear :-\ Regards Jeroen

Congratulations Pete, its a true beauty :bow: :bow: :bow: Regards Jeroen

Hello Pete, Recently I had a similar issue after mounting a Rohm chuck on a Chinese back-plate. The back-plate was machined on the lathe, this ensures a maximum accuracy. When running at higher RPMs and when using the chuck I had vibrations in the machine and the surface finishing of a test...

Thanks Les! Using Imovie makes live a little more easy. Regards Jeroen

Nice work Chuck! As many others like your projects and work a lot :bow: Related to the head, would it not have been more easy when you first drilled the holes for in and outlet and then make the nice rounded shape? I find it more easy to locate them on a square piece then on a round...

Thank you for your comment Vince! Ken, special thanks to you for making this tread possible, I really enjoy the tool :bow: Regards Jeroen

Hello Vince, Nice work on your Kiwi Engine. :bow: When making the tread, did you move towards or away from the headstock? If you moved towards the headstock, how did you stop the lathe to not crash your tool in the hex bar? With 3mm pitch you have quite a feeding speed... Regards Jeroen

Took a little bit more then 2 weeks, is quite busy at work and the RC helicopter season has started again. Yesterday I made a storage for the QC tool holders. I collected quite a bit (18 in total) over the years and still I am changing tools in the holders. I believe you will never have enough...

I go with Dave ::)

Very well done Jason, excellent build and finish quality as usual :bow: :bow: :bow: Congratulations, well deserved honer! Regards Jeroen

Still (quietly) following along Dave. Very nice work on your lathe and i am jelous on your scraping skills! Regards Jeroen

Nice repair Holt! Must give you satisfaction when things are coming together. Like your oilers too. Regards Jeroen

Thanks Dave. And great idea!please do send me your worn out tools, i can use them well since I need to develope some skills in resharpening. I can practice on yours and when I know how to do it I can start on my own tools :big: I put a nice electric lavendel smell dispenser in the living room...

Thanks Andrew and Holt. The colour is RAL7003, and it should be the original color for the machine. Your lathe is coming along nicely too, and with free tools :big: If I have time this weekend I will make some assesoires fit to the machine, I have a weldon end mill sharpening fixture and a...

Hi Vince, Thanks, it took quite a lot of sanding to get the machine as it is now. I will not use it for about 4 weeks, give the paint the rime to dry. I hope it will not damage too quick, i used an indutrial grade of paint. I guess its the same with a new car, the first scratches hurt the most...

Hi Holt, Nice work on the lathe so far and some good puzzle solving. Why not mill off the broken part of the shaft, drill a hole and make a complete new shaft with a smaller diameter at the end (half nut side) and lock tide that in the half nut? To be sure you could pin it or fix it with a...

Finally the temperature has gone up and in my shop its between 15 and 20 degrees celsius, nice temperature to finish the painting of the Tacchella base this saturday! When the paint was dry enough to not make stains I started assembling the machine. This is the best part for me, after many...

I second Greg. It will be a lot of work to convert the machine to single phase, all transformers, coolant pump motor, lubrication pump motor etc are 3 phase..... Not possible to get a 3 phase connection? The machine is worth the trouble of that!! Regards Jeroen

Good to see that your lathe has arrived home, hope to see some pictures soon! Have fun with your new toy, regards Jeroen

Thanks for the comments and interest Ken, Greg and Ray! You sure know what you are talking about Ken! Glad that my broaches look ok, and the chamfer on the prep-holes is received loud and clear this time. When the box is finished I will show it here. Also will try to make a video (don't have to...
