The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Hi! I am building very similar construction, now I am trying to use stepper for platter drive. I tried to PM you, would it be possible to have your arduino sketch for the platter motor control please? I have found all the other files on github wich is great, but the platter mottor control is not the...

Looks great,

I am really curious how the cone from one piece affects the sound and the resonances.

Hello from Prague.

Your work and effort is awesome, lot of inspiration. The sound of the cut is well balanced although I can hear some distortion on esses and cymbals in the 4-6kHz range. I have the same problem that I am trying to fight with all sorts of dynamic EQing to get the cut louder, but my head is far from pr...

Thank you for the tips, today i have found that the noise disappears around the center of the blank and comes back near the end again, so it is hopefully not a broken tip, but maybe some geometry problem or warped platter.. Any other ideas? The vacuum cleaner is getting really hot, so it is probably...

Hi, I have built my own lathe with cutterhead design by KNOP during the lockdown. I was trying to be as precise as I could, there is a oil dashpot so that the head goes down really slowly, the whole system is controlled by arduino with MIDI support, so everything can be operated from either DAW in a...
