Since the first time I stepped into a machine shop, I always wanted my own equipment. A few years ago I realized part of that dream when i bought a small cnc mill. A year later I bought a bigger one. This year I rounflded off my collection when I bought a cnc lathe. Its a simple one with homemade gang tooling, but shes accurate and holds some good finishes. I think shell do just fine!

Your going to wear that spindle out quick. Lol a lot of crazy lathe speed changes in there. Congrats, I've been machining for 20 yes now. Decent carrier

Its the constant surface speed code on a small part. It only goes to 3000rpm, so that little boring bar runs at full blast. Gotta love 347ss: high sfm, low chipload.

About 28 years ago I worked in a machine shop for a short while. I was really into archery and the owner asked if there was something that maybe he could bring to the archery field. I told him that it was probably about as high tech as it would ever get. Boy was I STUPID.

Nice video thanks for sharing.
