I am very slowly learning that I can get away with quite bad #lathe crimes and still get good results. Look at that mirror finish! Lovely stuff.

Please ignore the charred milling bit. That is less lovely.

Non importa che dimensioni abbia il tuo macchinario, arriverà SEMPRE un pezzo da lavorare che ti obbligherà a trovare soluzioni non convenzionali.

I got a cheap Aliexpress DRO and installed it onto my new lathe! It all went pretty well! I cadded up some brackets in #freecad

Poiché in un altro thread si parlava di qualità del lavoro e di come viene percepita (o NON viene percepita) dalla maggior parte della ggente, che guarda solo il prezzo di un prodotto (di solito finalizzato all'ostentazione), beccatevi sto video dove si fa un po' di guilloché a mano:

La cosa incredibile in questo video non è il supporto per affilare gli utensili del tornio, cosa di per sé banale, ma vedere le condizioni iniziali del materiale impiegato.

Il comandante Cousteau trovava reperti in condizioni migliori…

A kind request to all the people posting HSS tools grinding videos.

Please, mark the faces of a square tool with DIFFERENT colors, so we newbies can quickly understand on which face you're working.
