Stuart Engineering Lathe

[coopertje]

After many months of machining, learning, struggling and all things I forgot finally my miniature lathe is finished! The build is described here: http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=10956.0

Thanks to everybody providing solutions and tips during the build, and of course all the people for checking in!

Regards Jeroen

Wow, that is a very nice minature that you have built. I have watched it take shape in your build log and knew that it would look great when all assembled. You can be proud of the one. :bow: :bow:

Cheers

More congratulations! You should put that under a nice acrylic or glass cover to keep the dust (and moisture) off of it.

Super job! And I think you should mount a small turned bar in the chuck, and gather up a *tiny* bit of really fine swarf to "decorate" the lathe a bit! ;D

Very nice, I really like this, it reminds me of a retirement gift that was once made in our shop. I like the whole display.Dave

Thank you all for your kind replies!

Mmmmm....plastic cover I considered, not against the dust, I am more concerned about my wife with her vacuumcleaner..."sorry honey the cleaner eat your small tool....dont be mad I did not do it on purpose". :big:

I like the idea of adding a pre-turned axle in he chuck, crossed my mind before but also left it again somehow during the build.
