How To Make A Wood Lathe Out Of A Drill

Put it in a vise and with the file make four points.
How to make a wood lathe out of a drill. I turned a cheap drill into a mini lathe. Secured with a rubber strap from my bitsa bitsa this and bitsa that box. Making the spindle As we have to make each and every part from the scratch with the available stuff to make it look and function like a wood lathe we will start with making a spindle.
The lathe machine operator is known as a turner and the skills needed to use the tools were traditionally known as turnery. It works quite well for small projectsPlans diagrams with measurements anyway. I used very hard plywood to make this lathe.
Take the wood drive-in nut and ply or cut the pointed pins. Considering that electric motors commonly come at 2400 or 2800 RPM as well as the cheaper low speed ones finding the right motor is part of the fun of creation. Here I make a drill powered woodworking lathe for my own use.
Building a bit long but it was worth it. Because I built a very rob. Use a hex shaft screw driver bit and chuck it into the drill press now attach the chuck were using as a center and with the drill press running slowly very slowly feed the shaft.
Insert the drive-in nut in the chuck and tighten it. Using the hacksaw cut the head of the bolt.
Next comes the front clamp. Having a mini wood lathe around for small woodturning projects can come in very handy. Quite impractical to use belts pulleys and bearings when the concept is making a wood lathe in 30 minutes.
