HOMEMADE lathe made from scraps built FOR FREE
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
YES, it is possible to build a lathe just from the items already in your shop... well in my shop! all of the materials, motor, bearings etc. were found in my shop, and the wood was all left over scrap pieces, so i didn't have to purchase anything to build this lathe. that is why i am referring to it as my "free lathe" .
even though all of the items i used have value and all of them were purchased at one time or another, they all had other lives and were currently not in use, collecting dust or destined to a life on uncertainty.... except for the belt i took off of my drill press, i was already using that... but still, all free materials
this video is a re-edit of my original homemade lathe series and compilation video... the entire series is over an hour long as is the compilation video. this video is a quick start to finish of my improvised lathe... yes the lathe was completely improvised , no plans at all.

+Dan The Maker Man thanks Dan, I was quite surprised how well it worked.
Ok, making the lathe is cool and all but that rotating top stand for your grinder is brilliant!

Yeah, its one of my favorite builds i sues almost every day. here is a video of it form a few years ago... it might be time to make a new video kzread.info/dash/bejne/pKmqvM6Pf8TdcdI.html
Hey Ray, maybe you could add a rheostat or a rotary dimmer in-line to the electrical to adjust the speed if need be!
Good work hard!

Hi Robert, yeah i really crunched it down for this video. the RPMS are VERY high even with the large pulley on the head stock... the motor is a 3450 rpm so it was way too fast for this lathe but it worked out ok.
