Hace varios meses que vengo amenazando con hacerme un peque�o torno casero.
Pues bien, ha llegado el momento de mostrarlo, porque si bien no est� totalmente terminado (es posible que no lo est� nunca, porque siempre se puede agregar algo m�s), ya est� operativo, al menos en forma parcial.
La idea es que con este peque�o torno se pueda trabajar madera y metales, dado que la herramienta de corte es una amoladora de mano.
Incluso, m�s adelante le har� un eje de giro movido a tornillo sinf�n, con el objeto de poder hacer engranajes, cosa que ha sido siempre una de mis preocupaciones porque son muy dif�ciles de conseguir, y caros de hacer.
Los que me conocen saben que no hablo ingl�s, y que me ayudo con el Traductor Google. Los que hablan ingl�s, por favor ind�quenme las correcciones que debo hacer al texto.
Los caracteres hisp�nicos (vocales acentuadas, e�es y otros) salen mal pero no es mi culpa. He hecho todo lo posible para solucionarlo pero no hubo caso. Me resisto a escribir sin acentos o a buscar palabras que no tengan e�e.
Antes que me olvide: no miren los defectos en las soldaduras. Son espantosas, pero mantienen el aparato armado. Estoy aprendiendo a soldar, y se nota.
Several months ago I've threatened to get around a small home lathe.
Well, it's time to show it, because although if it is not completely finished (it may not ever be, because one can always add something more), is already operational, at least partially.
The idea is that this small lathe can work on wood and metal, as the cutting tool is a handheld grinder.
Even, later I have an axis of rotation moved to worm, to be able to make gears, which has always been one of my concerns because they are very difficult to reach and expensive to do.
Those who know me know I do not speak English, and that helped me with the Google Translator. Those who speak English, please tellme the corrections I must do on the text.
Hispanic characters (accented vowels, jan and others) go wrong but it's not my fault. I have done everything to fix it but there was no case. I refuse to write without accents or to find words that do not have jan.
Before I forget: do not look at the flaws in the welds. Are horrific, but they keep the device armed. I'm learning to weld, and it shows.

Signing UpStep 1: Chasis (chassis)
Posiblemente esta sea la parte m�s d�bil del aparato, pero eso lo evaluar� a medida que lo use. Eventualmente lo corregir�, simplemente soldando refuerzos a los largueros principales.
Casi todo el aparato est� hecho hierro �ngulo de 5/8 (16 mm) de ancho por 1/8 (3.2 mm) de grosor.
A lo largo del chasis y en su parte central corre una barra roscada de 7.3 mm, cuya finalidad es arrastrar el carro que est� sobre ella. En un extremo tiene una peque�a manivela, y el otro extremo se asegura mediante tuerca y contratuerca.
Possibly this is the weakest part of the apparatus, but I will assess this as I use it. Eventually it will be corrected simply by welding reinforcements to the main beams.
Almost the entire apparatus is made of angle iron 5/8 inches (16 mm) wide by 1/8 (3.2 mm) thick.
Throughout the chassis and at its center is a threaded bar 7.3 mm, which aims to drag the car that is about it. At one end has a small crank, and the other end is secured by threaded nut and contra-nut

Incidentally, when you commented on my instructable, I did not realise that you do not speak English.
:)
Latest data I have done some accessories for the lathe: a counterpoint, a plane chuck and another threaded for wood works. I will add photos to the instructable.
A option would be using a bracelet to hold the wood in place, but I dunno how wel it would fit. the piece could end up flying around and hitting someone pretty hard...
plus, I think a little moster cutting would be more precisely, that saw scare me as hell... hehehe I may do one in future, as I like to work with wood, maybe I put a eletric 3/8'' eletric drill with a smaller cutter, or a saw with a smaller cut disk...
fala português? ou só espanhol e inglês?
anyway. nice job!
PS: I dont know how a real lathe hold the piece stick.... if so, I could make something and tell ya... maybe with some research...
g'luck finishing this. I wann to see the new updates =}
I had planned to use a little potassium ferrocyanide I retain from 30 years ago. Anyway, the main problem remains the lack of a forge, of which there are many interesting designs in Instructables. Sorry, this is the second main problem, first is that I have so many things on hand that I never make time.
i like it
I 'm quite behind in my plans: "He who covers a lot, just press only a little"
I will reciprocate your good wishes for 2010
You now, i want to make a lathe too, but one for metal, with some precision. I'm from Argentina too, i'm from La Plata.
