POCKET WOOD LATHE

pinshape

Summary This is a rework of Crayon Lathe 2 | Open Source TOYS by theevilorverlord. I ended up importing the stl files into my cad software and used them as a base. I wanted a simple wood lathe for turning 1:76.2 or 00 or 4mm to the foot. This design was a good place to start, The head-stock is the same accept I have a direct drive motor for more speed, went to 8mm rods. The tail-stock have used another head stock for future customization. The saddle and tool rest a based on my big wood lathe. All was printed in ABS rod holes had to be cleaned out to fit the rods. 2015-10-27 added some low poly stl files of handles for the sewing machine needles. I used the 2 part ones and glued together the a mix of acetone and ABS, then opened the hole up to about 1.8mm the warmed the needle and pushed it into the hole. 2015-11-01 Added link to the next in my pocket series of tools a pocket tool grinder to sharpen the tools for this lathe. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1103842 PARTS LIST HEAD-STOCK x2 SADDLE x 1 TOOL-REST 1 4mm cap screws x 2 3mm cap screws x 16 8mm rod 2 pieces of desired length 6mm rod to bend up for tool rest motor to suit chuck ( I got mine from Banggood.com )
