775 Motor housing for a 6 in 1 lathe.

thingiverse

Made for a 6 in 1 lathe that the motor shaft snapped off of and this was the best way I could think of to make it much better. I'm going to be looking into a similar arrangement for the mill configuration soon. I screwed my lathe down to a piece of scrap 18mm ply, with 2 of the included 1 hole Tee slot pieces, to increase stiffness. You will need one of each part plus some wood screws to attach it to the base, 2 x M3 machine screws for the rear motor mount and 2 x M4 countersunk machine screws to attach the front motor mount. Plus a 280mm or there about toothed belt and a 5mm bore toothed drive pulley or whatever suits your motor. And lets not forget a motor while we are at it. It should be pretty self explanatory how this goes together. The AirGuide is to protect the brushes of the motor from swarf, just clip it around the motor barrel. A variable 10A 12V power supply (a must have for a 775 motor) will greatly help with your machining as a single speed is pretty useless on even the smallest of lathes. Just print and enjoy a better turning experience! Edit: forgot to mention the 4 x M4 countersunk machine screws, 2 each in front and back support to the base.
