Re-Pimping the 7x12 minlathe.

<< < (2/11) > >>

RotarySMP:
Thanks fo the encouragement. The whole video thing is much harder than I thought. Especially once you record yourself you find out how scatterbrained your thoughts are, and that rather than sounding like a TV announcer, you sound like a stoner :)

I need to make another lap for that test bar, and think it'll be a 3d print one and see if it is a complete or partial failure. Good point on the heat effects.

My major worry on a printed lap is not getting the scraper action a metal lap will have to clear slurry.  Find out in a few hours when the first test lap comes off the printer.

Well being stoned explains how you can keep scraping for so long  :ddb:

RotarySMP:
Scraping is kind of addictive. When is enough? when do you stop? it is all subjective, so you do "just one more pass" and then "just one more". Soon enough you arms and back are aching.

RotarySMP:
Just tried out the plastic lathe dog. Worked very well.

Good news, another accessory added to the list of prints here.
