The Micro Lathe: Putting the Spindle Together

A second video on the micro lathe! In this video I show how I designed and put the spindle together. This spindle runs up to 7000 RPM and can take a ridiculous amount of transverse load (on paper -- there's no way my lathe could even load it up that much!) I haven't measured the runout yet as I haven't dialed in the position on my lathe yet (I have to keep taking it apart for Youtube videos and things!). If you wish to see more of this build and some of the exciting upcoming videos I'm planning, like and subscribe! You can also follow the build more closely on Instagram, at www.instagram.com/hlaps1990
