Hello EveryoneToday I show you how to make a lathe machine. Grinding the lathe tool against the grinder can be divided into two main parts.

I used metals to make this angle grinder powered homemade lathe machine. Mount the angle grinder so the cutter is 15mm forward the edge of the base. Assemble all parts as on image.

This is usually done with a diamond surface of some sort and results in you picking sand out of your teeth for a week. Special care must be taken to ensure that the lathe tool is not in contact with the wheel for more than 10. Make sure the grinder comes with a dressing tool or buy one if not.

The lathe tool needs to be pushed gently against the grinding wheel. Temporarily install the follower and align it with the forward edge of the cutter. I first did a dry run to make sure it was good fit then used glue and screws to attach it.
