Good news everyone! My drawings have been approved by my engineer and manager (girlfriend ) so I can get started tomorrow :+1: :
Since this is my first time here I thought Iโd say a few words about my lathe with which I will make the light.
It is a Wabeco D2400 . Not incredibly good or heavy and nearly 25 years old now (I have not owned it for that long), but I take good care of it:
A few years back I hand scraped the dovetails, readjusted the bearings and also made a proper attachment for my tool changer:
Unfortunately it doesnโt have gears, so I have to switch the belts every time I want to cut threads:
Well, I hope I can beat the titanium with this lathe, but we will see tomorrow
Oh and does anyone know how I can create a list in a list like here ?
