You should make a video showing how to cut rifling in a gun barrel.
Unlike (most) other machines a lathe can be accurately made by pattern casting, flat metal stock, a bit of hand work (ie scraping), and a few off the shelf parts like threaded rods/nuts/bolts.
South bend lathes could originally be bought as a set of castings, rather than assembled machines. So if you can get the dimensioned drawings for the components you should make the castings yourself.
for CNC just put stepper motors/encoders on the feed/hand wheel, and connect to PC (or similar)
Does Van Tech offer night school courses on using lathes and milling machines?
i want a lathe like that! but surly you could of done something more interesting than facing the barend and doing a small turn. how about thread cutting,boring. how come you didn’t use the lathe to chamfer the bar? instead you used a file which really gives a rubbish finish and not very safe. i am a cnc setter/programer so this is really old school for me.
this video is beutiful. . .
cool.. i live in the area maybe ill check it out someday..
This looks like a South Bend 10K – Standard & Modern – I think that may of been the dealer.
