Picking up on this very old thread. Those with an interest in Electronic Lead Screws might like to follow this series of videos starting at Great find, Brian ... Thanks for sharing the link I've only watched the first couple of minutes, but already I like his style ... Just paused to thank you, before settling into some binge viewing. MichaelG. |

231 forum posts 50 photos | Re; original posting Arduino based Leadscrew controller MEW Dec 2015. Just to let those who were interested in the device that the Leadscrew controller is still going marvelously, I have made quite a few pieces of threaded work since then... some examples photo's below. A spindle back end ring nut internally threaded made from EN1 steel. A couple of telescope eyepiece adapters with outer very fine unusual thread and inner coarse focusing thread made from brass plumbing fittings. Also an experimental LH trapezoidal internally threaded cross slide nut to eliminate play made with brass. Screenshot shows the arduino programs which can be selected for individual threads. My lathe is now well over 70 years old being, (I am led to believe), was part of the Lease-Lend agreement during WW2 from America, I wonder how many of these lathes lie at the bottom of the Atlantic. |
