One Of The Many Useful Operations Possible With A Lathe Is To Cut This video will show you a technique for setting up your lathe compound for precision angle cuts. this is an excellent way to get your angle settings within. When setting the lathe compound for an accurate angle i have successfuly used the following procedure. set the compound as close as you can & leave it snug but not tight so it can be lightly tapped into a finished position. place work in a chuck & mount a dial indicator w a straight stem (not a test indicator) normal to the axis.
Setting Compound Home Shop Machinist This comprehensive guide provides step by step instructions on setting up a lathe compound for precision turning, ensuring accurate and high quality results in your machining projects. learn the proper techniques to align and adjust the compound, ensuring optimal performance and precision when working with your lathe. Setting the compound rest angle on a lathe can be frustrating since the engraved protractor scale is frequently hidden from view by the compound rest. most modern lathes have cross slides and compound rests with outer surfaces accurately squared and aligned with their bed ways. I used this app before, but setting the compound to the angle marks is imprecise. about the best procedure i can think of if you do not have a sample to indicate, is the one from joe p. watch "setting the lathe compound to precision angles" on. This video, describes and demonstrates, a great setup technique for achieving a precision angle on a lathe, using your compound.

This video, describes and demonstrates, a great setup technique for achieving a precision angle on a lathe, using your compound. The angle you are cutting is the hypotenuse of a triangle that has a segment of the lathe centerline as the base. as such, using a unit triangle with a base of 1 calculate the length of the hypotenuse (secant of angle) for the angle in question. set the compound to slightly less than the correct angle, make it too shallow. How do you set the lathe cross feed to a precise angle? seem like after all this time i would have figured out the correct method. i have to machine a long valve seat and the mating valve to a precise 45° angle. eyeballing it obviously is not the correct method. the problem is that for one piece.
