Instead of thinking and mumbling on the pillow, at 2am I prefer to look at a more educative video:
«Grinding and Honing a #Lathe Tool»

Now a cup of coffee and back to bed with clearer ideas 😍

Farsi in casa gli utensili per il #tornio è un po' meno facile di quanto possa sembrare.

Ma si può fare, mannaggia!

Grinding HSS Tools

I had a time making a part for my new lathe. It was educational.

Mounting my new toolpost

Lathe crimes absolutely pay. This came out better than I could've reasonably hoped. Very happy.

I had to chop some of the metal away to hold tools at the correct height. I tried to use a HSS milling bit but these tool holders turned out to be hardened steel, and the HSS just got hot and angry. A carbide boring bar in the chuck made short work of it.

I am doing #lathe crimes and there's nobody here to stop me.

Turns out I don't need to buy a carbide endmill after all!

J'ai fait un premier adaptateur LR44 vers PX640 avec le tour. L'état de surface de l'intérieur n'est pas parfait mais ça fonctionnera quand même.
Il faut en faire un deuxième. Demain !

When thinking of humanity’s ability to harness wind energy, many people will conjure images of windmills from places like The Netherlands or Persia. But people have been using wind energy for…

It turns out that a great tool for modifying my #lathe is itself.

Buying correct tooling is for suckers

I have a #pakige en route from Aliexpress. It's a DRO for my lathe. After placing the order I messaged the seller with the dimensions of the rails I need to fit my lathe. This was the process defined in the product listing. However the seller never acknowledged my message, so I fear I'm going to receive DRO sensor rails the wrong size for my #lathe 😬
