London Hackspace has a Chester Centurion 3-in-1 500mm lathe/mill/drill. This is a useful tool for tasks which are too large for our mini mill & lathe.

It's worth reading around the subject before you try to start on the actual machine - it's easy to teach some simple basic operation, but much harder to teach all the things you SHOULDN'T do. You've got to get a real sense of your limitations, and always research any new operation to make sure you're doing it safely. There are pointers to educational materials in the Library

There is a 4-jaw and 3-jaw chuck for the lathe, and a huge vice for the mill.

If you would like to help there is an active pledge to buy more tools for this machine.

The Logbook is used to record any changes, problems or concerns about the machine.

Training

This is a dangerous machine, and is perfectly capable of causing serious injury. For this reason, you must be trained to use it. It's fitted with a key-switch emergency stop so that only keyholders can switch it on.

MIT have 3 videos about working with a lathe. You will still need in-person training, but they are full of good tips and will help everything go smoothly.

  • Lathe 1: Lathe basics; turning and facing; cutting off a part
  • Lathe 2: Tapping; boring; knurling; cutting tapers; turning shafts with a live centre; single point thread turning
  • Lathe 3: Chucking large items; using lathe arbours; turning between centres; working with irregular shapes & thin materials.

More information on Lathe Training. Add tips to the Poster.

Maintenance

Oiling schedule from manual

Oiling is critical to keeping the 3-in-1 in a good condition. The machine must be oiled before and after every use. The slideways should be oiled with slideway oil, and all other parts should be oiled with general-purpose machine oil.
