Thanks, Jon. I do have details, and more photo's, I will be posting soon. This Lathe is just one of several machines that I have built, or restored, for my shop. This one though, was the most challenging, and the most fun!
timcruzen,
You have a very interesting design and build to your lathe. I also see you have a gear box behind the headstock for the lower speeds. Looking forward to seeing more about the homemade lathe. This is a great first post and sure to generate a lot of interest!
Thank you for sharing the photos,
Paul Jones

It would be fantastic to see more info on this machine. I've actually toyed with the idea of doing a CNC mill or router type machine but haven't had the cash to move forward.Originally Posted by timcruzen

Welcome to home made tools, that's a very good workmanship, a lot of hours I'm sure, would love to know what intrigued you to build this machine, was it just something you wanted to do ?

Very nice lathe. Great work. Why 2 motors? Minor detail, might need to cover that center mounted lead screw, swarf is gonna fill it up real quick, but I do like that idea.
Great project. Like it. Looking forward to see more pics.
Could it, motor 2, be to run the lead screw, and the toggle switch be for forward/reverse.
