the replacement lathe ships this week
 

And now for something completely different
Front+View+Transparent.jpeg

The change gears were really getting on my nerves.

So a gearbox is the new order of the day.
Convince me you are serious in PM, or can contribute and I'll share code an BOM.
The current boggle is sourcing pinion/spur gear stock.
All the gears are 24 DPI 14.5 degree pressure angle.
I'd rather cut off and finish the gears myself as individual gears are $25 and up.
If I'm going to the bother of building one I may as well build a few, or at least the parts for a few.
Anyone that has 6" tooling they can spare can also contact me in PM.
I'm not comfortable releasing the code in public as nearly all of it isn't mine. It may not seem like much on the surface but there are hours of work here without counting the years of experience that led up to it. In short I will reasonably protect the intellectual property and the author will know where each copy is.

I'm getting construction help from the usual suspects.

Tooling , unique and ubiquitous is from Joel @ mymachineshop.net

If you make chips you need to know these guys

Service parts for the lathe are from TMcNett@clausingsc.com

The machine shipping is through Fastenal, Blue Lane. Michelle is great to work with.

Additional support from https://www.facebook.com/groups/956121484439805 The atlas group on FaceBook

Robert Downs WA5CAB and the members of https://www.hobby-machinist.com

These guys do amazing things in miniature and have been a great help.

Many thanks to the patient and humorous knowledge of the members at https://groups.io/g/atlas-craftsman

I can't do these things without family.

Chris , how do you put up with me ?
Dennis (SK)
Morrie (SK)
Fantom the wonder dog

And very special Thank You to Wonder Woman for putting up with me.

Okay , so it reads like a rehearsed acceptance speech. It needed to be said. Again it's my thread and I can do what I want with it.

So starts another chapter in
Meanwhile, out in the garage.
And so it goes ...

As long as it's staying within the parameters of BattleBot design rules, you’re good to go. Remember, the maximum allowed weight is 250.0 pounds and your Bot must fit completely within the space of an 8’ x 8’ square….

Gary , get me a pick of your data plate so I can keep an eye out for accessories. I think we share a bunch of common parts.

I am surprised how much I can buy directly from Atlas Clausing. I will get the info to you. The one I have is I believe from the 40's
The one difference that comes to mind is our spindles. Mine is 1" -10 TPI yours is 1" -8 TPI . We do share change gears though.
 
of course Kopcicle gets a lathe and the first thing he makes is parts for a lathe LOL.

How long before you're turning delrin on there for antenna parts?
LC
Sorry I missed this.
I already have. Issue with the PFTE, Delrin, any of that crap is the chip, yes, chip, not chips, one chip per pass. A real good shop vacuum will take it off the tool but when it doesn't ...
