-2019-12-25. Uploaded the original fusionfile (.f3d) if anyone would like to improve the design.

-Edited 2016-09-17 Made my first test today. It works fine, but can be improved. The holder för the Dremel was a bit to long so the frontgrip was not completly firm. This has been fixed in the uploaded files. I short video of my teh can be found here: https://youtu.be/eavTV2zDyGs

-Edited: 2016-09-13 The lather works, but the fixed tail stock cant cope with soft materials, so I made a moving tail stock with a bearing.

A simple woodworking micro lathe, powered by a Dremel. The goal is to design a simple lathe with few moving parts. Will mostly be used for making parts for my model aircrafts.

Materials: 1 set of printed parts 2 steel rods 10mm x 600mm 1 steel rod 10mm x 40mm 1 theaded steel rod 10mm x 600mm 2-3 M10 nuts 1 M10 washer 9 M4 nuts 9 socket head screw M4x25mm 1 bearing 15x35x8mm (for moving tail stock)

Instructions: -Print one piece of every stl-file. You might have to adjust the holes in order to make the rods fit.

-Cut the long rods at the desired length.

-Solder a M10 nut on the end of the threaded rod. (or mount two nuts on the threaded rod and fasten them against each other.) Make a cut in the other end with a saw.

-Mount the short (40mm) rod in a drilling machine and sharpen one end with a rasp. Put the rod with the flat end first into the tail stock. This rod works as the dead center.

-Mount all nuts in their slots and place the socket head screws into them.

-Insert all three rods into the head socket, compound rest and tail socket.

-Glue the engine mount into the head socket.

-Forge av sharpen a round nail to make a fastener.
