Re: Kube OpenLathe
A friend of mine built one and it worked very well. In fact it’s how we met, I had heard that he built a Kube and I wanted to see it. I recall that he had to do some extra troubleshooting to get the drive electronics to operate smoothly. He used it for a couple of years before selling it. The chucks are small so it is very limited on the size of tubing that go thru them.
If you’re handy and confident it would be an interesting project. Otherwise probably better to save one more year and buy used or import, I’m an experienced builder but after seeing it I bought a SEAM.
That said, I give Jordan Kube huge respect for creating and sharing this open source machine for all to access! The lathe will spin glass, no doubt about it!
I do what I know, I don't know what I'm doing
