Cole's Lathe and Stand
Posted: Wed May 30, 2018 3:13 am
I have completed my build of Suso's lathe plans. I am very pleased with my results and the different options I have with the multiple tools designed for this project. I will eventually be building a bandsaw to go with this setup and I am currently designing it. I asked many questions during this build and Suso answered me every time. His plans are very detailed and he is responsive and very helpful during the build. If you are interested in building your own lathe, I suggest these plans. Pleasure to build
Motor (3/4hp):
Tool Rest and Tailstock:
Locking Track (I used garolite for the slide to avoid wood shrinking and expanding during weather changes):
Disc Sander:
Grinder Wheel:
Drum:
Drum and Belt Sander:
Drum Sander Lift(I CNC cut a handle that has 10 evenly spaced lobes. Each increment raises the table 0.010"):
Belt Sander:
Completed Stand (I used workbench casters to move the stand where I need it and I disengage them to drop back to the floor while using it for extra weight and stability):
Inside Cabinet:
Drawer:
