Not very often, my Unimat Mk. 2b is the correct tool for the job. :)

I was recently looking for a cheap #casio but on a nylon/NATO strap. For this purpose, I ordered a bunch of 18mm -> 22mm strap adapters suited for F91W and similar, but in the end, I decided to try the #gshock GW-M5610U.

To fit, I had to #mill these adapters to a 16mm width and enlarge the telescope bore to 2mm. #diy #machining #lathe #maker

Macchina utensile molto ibrida, credo ci sia solo questa al mondo: una testa da fresatrice #Bridgeport montata sul ponte di una piallatrice (piccola, la tavola è solo circa 3 metri).

Qui all'opera su barre di acciaio da 8 piedi (~2,50 m).

No, nella #mastofficina non ho il posto per metterla.

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.

E in quel caso una AI serve a ben poco.

There Was No Way To Dial This In (So We Got Creative)

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

Drilling holes into the cast iron bits of my lathe was fairly terrifying, but being able to measure cuts down to 0.005mm without reaching for the calipers is extremely useful.

Oooh, finalmente una persona che non si precipita sul sito del fiume brasiliano per comperare un attrezzo che manca, ma se lo realizza (anche perché trovarlo della misura giusta sarebbe stato problematico).

La mia incudine è più stabile, però.

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:
