Hello All!
I'm in the planning stages of a mini lathe made from epoxy granite. Nothing fancy and not a heavy duty machine.
I have a few INA 20mm linear carriages and rail and a couple of THK 25mm carriages and rail (one short piece really). I thought I might put them to good use. I will be cutting plastics, brass, aluminium and possibly the odd mild steel part. I'm not sure yet if I NEED a tailstock yet.
Body is epoxy granite. Headstock is built into the EG and will be using taper roller bearings or angular contact. Chuck will probably be 80mm on a 25mm shaft.
Here are screenshots of my crappy sketchup model showing what I'm thinking. Does anything stand out to you folks as being missing? There are no ballscrews for travel modelled yet.
Thanks
