Hello to everyone i'm a new member of this forum, i've taken bigger interest in machining as of this year, i'm a car guy since i can remember, and that procute of speed and power has guided me in this branch, i own a lathe, stanko 1K62, medium in size but extremely heavy duty and very powerful (11KW) motor, and i'm learning machining on my own, i have a question, does this forum have a "Member build threads" if yes where is it?DSC_0016.jpgDSC_0014.jpg
 
It would be cool to see pictures of the lathe. Obviously we don't get a lot of soviet machinery here. Is it diesel powered?

Nuclear powered would be more appropriate.

Soviet machinery goes with "stankoimport" brand/name in the west.(ussr natinal export agency) Original manufacturer is probably some "great socialistic proletar factory number 14b" :D

1K62 is pretty common around here since we are next to russia. Very robust and capable of heavy cuts.
 
Nuclear powered i would imagine by the feel of the power, but its on electricity, as for pictures, here you go, couple are when i first went to look and test it out, i brought a piece of 30 mm 4140, and the machinist he was selling it said what you going to do with that, pick your teeth, you need a bigger piece to see what a real lathe will do, so i help him lift this big piece and chuck it up and he dial in an 9 mm depth of cut and engage the feed, the lathe cue it up at only 40%, then he showed me how precise it is and i was impressed, you can see there was absolutely no paint on the lathe from hard work, after nearly rolling over a 3 ton forklift unloading it, i did a cosmetic restoration and a full service and all new wiring, now is back for some hard work.DSC_0028.jpgDSC_0002.jpgDSC_0008.jpgDSC_0009.jpgDSC_0011.jpg
 
Nice. Has kind of a DSG look to it. What is that tile that is on your floor and also the same tile is on the wall? No grout? Can you explain the construction.
 
Sharp eyes, that construction is called free tile one night job, probably 15 years ago, makes it easy to keep it clean.
 
I liked the " Stanko " machines I've worked on. They're not massively sophisticated technically but they're built to last and they're user friendly.

My only reservations are regarding the electrics, they're usually a bit old fashioned.

Regards Tyrone.
 
Yeah very user friendly, and very loud, the soviet electrics are not the best, fortunately for me my lathe was purchased with top of the line options at the time in 72, like automatic fuses, dual contactors per motorxvcxDSC_0010.jpg, overload protection, power gauge and every motor on it is three phase even the coolant pump, here's a picture of the electrical cabinet when i got my lathe, before i re did it, it was a mess and full of metal shavings, unfortunately i don't have a picture after i replace and repair it.
 
That lathe sure does look beefy. I normally look at the lead/feed screws to see what type of balls a lathe has... and that lead screw sure does look decent.

One question... Tiled floor and walls? Do you have it in your bathroom or kitchen? :skep:

This is part of my garage, i wanted something easy to keep clean, because is part of my garage the floor is angle for drainage so i use my cars pressure washer to clean the Tiles, nothing is easyer then that.
 
No old soviet era asylum or dairy plant here, i'm in a pretty good neighborhood, that youtube link is from dragon factory 87, i've written to him on youtube couple of time, has been very helpful, as to the big drill, hi is using a 61mm dill bit, i've used bigger, here is a picture of my 80mm when i was sharpining it.DSC_0006.jpg

The 4-direction joystic with rapid movements looks quite handy (around 1minute mark)
If I remember correctly these had possibility to engage both feed directions simultaneously to turn tapers and I think I have seen tapered thread turning also for log splitter screw?
 
The 4-direction joystick is very user friendly, no confusion which way you want the carriage to feed, haven't tried threading screw and cross feed together, the feed joystick only enges one position at a time.
 
Today i remember to try threading screw and cross feed together to see is it possible, and the gearbox disengages the power feed when the thread screw is engaged so no is not possible to engage threading screw and cross feed together.
