  • Is that material BRASS? Or am I wrong?

    By the way, Good Job.

  • Actually its stainless, you can see the small chips curls up if you look carefully

  • cutting stainless like that.. impressive or is video speed up?

  • Its speed up, i think i even wrote it in the info:-)

  • Great.

    I just bought a unimat baby lathe and can't see it being to difficult to retro fit?

    Must be only two steppers and a simple controller?

  • Hehe. Depends what you aims for. I made this one with new leadscrews, bearings, bearingsblocks etc., spindle controled by gcode, full enclosure and flood cooling and much more. BTW i sold it and is making ready to build a new one from ground up. More videos to come...

  • what did you use to read the spindle speed?

  • Wow that was a while ago, I still remember it well though. I didn't read the info correctly and still feel stupid for it now.

    I unfortunately am a novice when it comes to machining even though I brought my first lathe - C2 300mm - 4 months ago.

  • I would say its probably 17-4 stainless, which machines very nicely.

  • Nice job on that - CNC seems the way to go to get a nice looking radius.

  • I use a machine that's slightly bigger than whatever you work on.

  • dildo

  • mine is not cnc, but i live it

  • Know I see it.

    You could even say that I have to listen how turning this material sounds.

    Because brass sounds very different than Stainless.
