In this video, I made a cross slide, a chisel holder, installed an electric motor and a frequency inverter that should convert one phase 220 volts to three phases 380 volts. I hope this will be the last part of the construction of my homemade lathe for metalworking.
So, at first I thought to make a transverse feed on the basis of rail guides for CNC machines, but at the moment when I decided to buy them, the war in Ukraine began, and it was impossible to buy and deliver something. The same is true with buying from China. I started to do everything on my own - angles, plates, welding ... But I think in time it will be possible to redo. Then I took the cutter holder, made one cutter 25 mm high, the design turned out to be massive and strong, as for me.
The last stage is painting and assembling the structure together.
Well and the most interesting, it is the first shaving and test of my self-made lathe on metal.

The lathe is a very useful thing for any craftsman, in the garage or workshop will be an indispensable helper.

What you need to make a metal lathe in your home workshop - a piece of channel, a pair of angles, profile pipes, electric motor, lathe chuck, wide thrust bearing, drive pulleys. And from the tool, it is an angle grinder, drill or drilling machine, files and welding machine, and most importantly a great desire to do something with your own hands.
