The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Alexsation.
Do you use Grit 10000 in all stages? Sorry for silly questions, but I'm really a layman on this subject.

Alexsation.
You use two machines to hone the needle, one to cut to the triangle point and the other for polishing. You use two disc weights; if you could say, what are they? Also, in one of your Instagram videos, you polish at 9,000 RPM, and how many RPM do you use to cut to the triangle point?

Hi!! I have no secrets, and I'd be happy to help. Gluing the diamond into the shank is the easiest and fastest part of the process. I use a one-component epoxy adhesive called DKD. I don't think you'll find the same adhesive in your country, but I might be wrong. It's a liquid adhesive designed for...

Thanks for the question! I've been through this difficult process for a long time. I spent a whole year experimenting. I've been producing perfect diamond needles for a long time now, and I have no problems with it. Many people ask me to sell and repair needles, but despite having a well-establishe...

I'll also add: if you're making a stylus from scratch, you should have another machine with a cast-iron diamond blade. The sword shape should only be shaped on a cast-iron diamond blade; if you use a metal-ceramic diamond blade, the entire surface will be covered in deep pits. P.S. Perhaps my trans...

The projects are turning out very well. I intend to follow the Alexsation project, using a vertical spindle motor to minimize vibrations and balancing the 100mm, 10000-grit grinding disc. I just don't know yet if he uses the same 10000-grit disc for grinding and polishing. Sorry, the English is from...

Could someone tell me the diameter and size of the main vertical tube that houses the internal motor?

I'm not advertising, I just wanted to know if this is good? https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005009353303189.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.158138datuy2hK&mp=1&pdp_npi=6%40dis%21BRL%21BRL%201670.98%21BRL%201670.98%21%21BRL%201670.98%21%21%21%402101f11417694310921577680e09da%2112000048845559479%21ct%21BR%211...

@Estrada Could you share more photos of your polishing machine, such as the motor parts and how you disposed of the bearings?

CVD diamond blanks are actually quite cheap. I think the most I've paid is about USD$15.00 a piece including taxes and shipping, and I have bought some much cheaper than that too. Thanks for sharing, and I'm following along. Could you tell me how your project turned out and where you bought the CVD...
