^^^^^you forgot stamping feet

But unlike one on here. @Parm will not go running and crying to a Mod on here.

Turned my Lathe into electronic screw - it works need to now make it all nice looking

Did the bores not get badly scored getting those pistons out? Or is this going to be converted into a coffee table!

The bores aren’t too bad but as you’ve guess it’s becoming a coffee table.

OH acquired 2 old bread trays from the local food bank where she volunteers, so a spot of repurposing has turned one of them into a jewellery holder in her dressing room.

Nice job.
How will you sync it for screw cutting?

It's just a rumour, why would I need to hold a lily? .

Edit: "Hold"??? Should have said gild...

 

[Ton-up]

Are they handcuffs?

 

[Maker]

Are they handcuffs?

Glad it wasn't just me who thought that. Looks like something Spencer's misses might have at first glance.

Nice job.

I just leave the half nut engaged and reverse the stepper motor after backing out the cutter

Some big swarf. Haven’t used my 62mm drill in awhileView attachment 211285

Jeez! How big is your tailstock????

How do you sync the tool travel speed with the rotation of the workpiece for a given thread pitch?

The electronics has an encoder which is run off the head stock in the back of the lathe which then calculates the stepper motor speed based on the gear ration and stepper micro steps setup on the Stepper driver and in the controller. this is not my design but rather https://github.com/clough42/electronic-leadscrew/wiki - I just followed along

Very clever stuff. Much cleverer than me!

That's pornography must be censored

Little bit of unconventional Arc-Air
Had to remove nasty welds on a clam fishing rake
Unfortunately I have not a proper carbon arc set up and I'm still waiting for buying a plasma cutters so I have to improvise
6013 2.5mm 180A and compressed air

It works only another 8 to do then looking for work to pay for it
goes with #8806
