Part 7 - Mini Lathe ELS Conversion (I'm Back!)

I've decided to get a bit of (semi) automation on the Mini Lathe by adding a Electronic Lead Screw (ELS) controller for both the Carriage (Z-Axis) and Cross Slide (X-Axis). This should allow for automation of a bunch of projects like thread cutting. I back from the crash, but it cost me a new lathe :( This time I've added a Stop Block and Z-Limit switch that I hope helps keep me from my own incompetence. With luck, the videos from now on will be about making stuff with the lathe rather than on the lathe itself. I've got an idea for Christmas but I don't know if I will be able to pull it off. We will see. Disclaimer : I've no association with Rocketronics and paid for all the gear myself. #MetalCasting #LaserEngraving #3Printing #MeltingMetal #lathe #metalworking
