    My Tiny lathe in action (warning)

    Please do not click this if your not really interested in seeing the lathe cut
    1/ the file is 7.5mg
    2/if your 56k it may take forever to get it
    3/I get the use of the FTP for free and i don't want to abuse the useage
    But a few have replied with the question of how it runs; this is a low res at 50sec
    1 cut of 1mm in P/Bronze 1700 rpm at 35mm/min; cutting a taper of 2.5mm over 25mm

    Thanks Stevie !!

    Been following this since you posted the "might CNC it" thread and am very impressed at the results!

    What software are you using to control it?

    Nice lathe and thanks for the movie. How about a closeup picture of the part it was making?

    I didn't have to ask what software you were using I would recognise the #dee doo doo dee doo doo# anywhere.
