Armed with a little more knowledge and a lot more fire power I'm determined to get the lead screw right. And as expected, despite being a repeat project, it went completely... unexpectedly. 🙃 2024-11-14 15:00:20 +0000 UTC View Post

I knew there was a reason I've been avoiding hardening my parts. But that doesn't mean I'm going down without a fight. We WILL find a way!
Enjoy!
A whole lot going on in this video and honestly if you go by pure part count, this might be the most yet. Milling, Lathing, Grinding, Eureka-ing and Wifing. What more could one ask for?

Hey everyone!
The lathe has been glaring at me for 4 months, it’s time to put it to work. And by "it", I mean me. Which, as you might expect, never goes quickly. And while I can’t promise...

The only way to fix something is one step at a time. Even if it's something "simple". But that doesn't mean it's gonna be easy!

We've all seen the new lathe looks like it was ridden hard and put away wet... but how bad is it actually? The answer may surprise you...
