G'day everyone. Here on the Artisan Makes channel I create home machine shop videos. With a small workshop and modest equipment, I will show that almost anything can be made with an import lathe, and a small milling machine. I hope you learn something new and enjoy your time here.

G'day everyone, This is a side project I found myself doing whilst making some new die holders. I am making a few extra ones, similar to the design I made back in April, however I ran into an issue whilst machining some of the longer rods that were a meter long. The long length causes the unsupported end to sag and wobble whilst running. This is a very dangerous situation if the lathe were to run as the stock could bend and whip around. The solution was to make a lathe spindle spider, which can slide on to the rear of the spindle and support the end of the stock. This is a quick project that I managed to knock out in a few hours. It was unplanned and I didn't have the right stock on hand, but I think I managed to get a final part that I was happy with. For what its worth, it has worked very well. #machining
