If you have no need of a compound, I suppose it may be ok. But how are you going to cut coarse threads? Nope not for me.

After I put a solid tool post on my Warco WM250, I can part off 25mm stainless bar 🙂

Why does the top surface have the big angle on it?

Excuse my ignorance. What is D.O.C?

The top slide should have the jib strip nipped up, but even when you do this, the rigid "lump" that you made will still be a big improvement, and useful to have; I mean lets face it, how often to you turn a taper ? - why sacrifice rigidity and slop all the time for an operation that you do once or twice a year.

Well done! Only halfway through and already I appreciate the level of care you put into this mod. I’ve done the same thing on my 8.5 x20 lathe (had a few restarts resulting in additions to my box of shame). Nice storytelling without talking (I’m rarely of fan of all the chatter you get on so many channels). You have a new subscriber!

very nice job , i subscribed .

what you did was great . but was pointless putting the angle scale on it as you cannot turn angles now

A polished turd is still just a turd. You now have more money in a Part than the Turd costs.

Nicely done, but keep you’re compound slide so you can put it back when you do actually need it, for cutting tapers or when you need more precise depth of cut. I use my compound slide a lot.

Damn good Mod for this Lathe 👍👍👍 Nice work.

No talking = Subscribed!

Nice job! A good solution to a common problem. I think judging by your chips you can be even more aggressive in your cuts.

I used to demonstrate TUDA Japanese lathes in the 70's with a half inch depth of cut, but for you to get this DOC from this toy is amazing. I had one, unmodified, and it was useless for anything serious. Now I can see the differences mods can make. Nicely done dude....

Wearing gloves whilst operating a lathe is just plan stupid. Also using insert on a mini lathe, no wonder you have chatter.

Nice. I did a similar cast iron riser for my lathe. I found the real test was the parting tool.

Do you have a full thread on the tool post. Couldnt tell vid was too fast.

I enjoyed the get it done approach using what you have. Bell ticked

You really are a poor man's genius. Why are you installing an angle adjustment if there is no longer a top slide? The quick-change holder covers the screw holes. You have removed the most important part and can no longer turn wedges. I have the same machine and have re-sealed all the guides, including the top slide. The spindle must have an angular contact roller bearing at the front. My EDM 300 can even remove 2-3mm in radius without vibration. Projections up to 90mm diameter are possible with a 3mm parting chisel. Motor AC 340W.

Solid mod (pun intended). Curious about the Precision Rag 2000 that covers your surface plate. Must increase accuracy 10-fold.

ruclips.net/video/qababf7uyRE/видео.html 0.7" D.O.C. That's an awesome rigid mini lathe 🤔

Nice! That’s awesome. Are you losing a bit of lathe tool height adjustment with the higher block?

Had to laugh when i saw your chinese caliper missing the dammed battery cover😂. I own three of them and missed all three covers. Very Nice job! Thanks You for shearing.

A nice mod on a surprisingly good little lathe. I'd have liked to see the 0.100" doc on the outside of the bar to see what the speed/feed was like and whether it made any appreciable difference, but it was a good test.

It looks like your chuck is not running true. Put an indicator on it and use the adjusting bolts to make it run true. Your chuck should run with less than 0.001 thousandths of run out.

Mini lathes are really for people who live for instance in a tower block and need a machine that's light and portable. Rather than pay a lot of money for something that will always be inadequate however many modifications you make to it, a secondhand toolroom quality lathe in reasonable condition will be better and cheaper for those who can accommodate one. For instance you can buy a Smart and Brown model M, 9" swing for about £150, infinitely more rigid and accurate than any mini lathe. Mini lathes and small Myfords are really not much better than toys.

We had a bandsaw where I did my apprenticeship, was a "DOALL" brand it was magic stuff just like a hot knife through butter

Well done, mate. I'd flatly ignore the keyboard machinists. I'm convinced most of the negative comments come from people with zero hours of hands on machining. This was a proper execution of a solid tool post.

Awesome stuff! What's the lathe model?!

Dykem is not available in Blue in Poland... What the hell?!

Did you know the sight of Kamala Harris makes me want to puke? She jumped right at me at the beginning of this video. These people are disgusting.

Hola, ¿esos motores son suficientes para transportar un peso de 100kg mas el propio peso del tanque?

This guy has more than a single philip's head screwdriver, 3 IKEA furniture Allen keys and a bent butter knife in his toolbox.....me thinks he might have some skills aswell.....

Why do you loosen the gibs and then act like it is loose!!!

Still a piece of junk but a great learning experience. I used to tinker with a Hobbymat back in the day.

Nice vid fella I guess your machine is bolted down ??? Adding to stability but that was a big cut on a small machine

Really nice job.

Great job!

Great mod!

Thanks. I'm going to look at my 6x26 Logan and see how I can apply this mod. Always chatters on any cut over .010. Especially when I hit hard spots.

Thank you for the video. I just couldn’t grasp how you adjust the angle on the slide. Do you have to remove the qctp to access the two screws holding the slide? Sorry, apprentice here.

OMG!!! Is the cutting saw placed on the electrical cable? (1:26)

Parabéns !

Why is it that you people always take bigger cuts to prove that you have improved your lathe. The proof of improving your lathe is in the finish & ease of working. Deeper cuts just reduces the working life of your bearings & everything else by increasing the rate of wear. If you really want to improve your mini lathe, then you should have been adding to the number of gib screws. Adding stops to prevent the cross slide from moving whilst you are tacking an end cut & to the cross slide to prevent side movement during longer cuts.

This was cool 😎

tighten up the gibs you knuckle head! Or was that for dramatic effect? All good. Love the vid.
