9x20 CNC Lathe Misc Videos



I've thought about this for awhile now.  Seems like it would work well.  I think home switches would negate the need for this, but until then.......any reason this won't work?
DOH!!  Well.....the sparks are kinda pretty. :(  On a manual machine, I'm the brains behind the handles.  On the cnc, I have no handles and apparently, I'm not the brains either!! lol  Andy and I found out the next day that it knocked the head out of alignment and started cutting on a taper.  It's fixed now, but we spent a couple of hours fighting with that problem.

Boy, was I surprised when the carriage took off without warning!!!!

Under heavier cuts, the spindle started acting weird.  Turned out to be a stripped drive belt.
