G'day everyone. Here on the Artisan Makes channel I create home machine shop videos. With a small workshop and modest equipment, I will show that almost anything can be made with an import lathe, and a small milling machine. I hope you learn something new and enjoy your time here.

G'day everyone, Not to be too negative to start off with, the lathe is meeting expectations. Spindle bearings are fine, I can make good parts and attaching a 1hp motor to a gearbox driven lathe is always a good start. But, and there's always a but, it may not have been as well put together as I originally thought. Call it being swept up in the moment, I think we all can be when we unbox a new piece of expensive equipment. The headstock is full of it, and by it I mean grit, which is not what you want grinding up against the gears and spline shafts and bearings. So I'll have to replace the oil and clean the gearbox. I'll also get a few quality of life upgrades out of the way. A new handle for the tailstock to replace the small one. Also adding a carriage mounted chip tray and a new motor cover. Finally I'll seal up the lathe chip tray. #lathe #machining Lathe Upgrades Lathe Modifications Lathe: Hafco Al250G Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction 0:59 - Flushing The Gearboxes 4:29 - Inspecting The Apron 7:35 - New Tailstock Lever 11:28 - Sealing The Chip Tray 12:24 - Adding A Chip Tray To Teh Carriage 14:20 - Adding A Motor Cover
