Homemade lathe in the making?
Possibly a light duty homemade metal lathe C channel is 6mm back wall 10mm top and bottom
Looking to use cnc linear rails but they are really hard to find on aus atm
Will pick up a couple new old stock prescision taper bearings from the USA or UK but unsure on shipping at this time
The lathe will have a 160mm or 200mm chuck just for the extra jaw length
I can use my small lathe to machine a spindle plan will be to have the shaft push thru the chuck side and out the belt side, there will be a correct size for the id of bearing left hand nyloc nut to keep correct bearing tension
Anything i've missed?
