A proposed tech tree starting from a few relatively simple parts.
Big
- 3D printer
- Circular saw
- Drill
- BLDC motor and driver
- good soldering iron (TS-80, TS-100)
Small
- drill bits
- taps
- large metal square
- multimeter
Consumable
- plywood
- screws
- wood glue
- sand paper
- threaded rod
- nuts
- washers
Stage 1
- Straight edge for circular saw
- guide for drill
Stage 2
- Convert circular saw to table saw
- convert drill to mock-press
Later
- Modify circular saw to use BLDC
- Modify drill to use BLDC
- ACME die
- Mill press (with thrust bearings)
- Produce Bearings
- Lathe
Dependence
- lathe w/ 3|4 jaw → simple collets
With an acme die and some heat treating I can take soft iron/steel, cut a threaded rod, then harden it. Keeping it straight will be a challenge. With acme threaded rod it will be possible to build a good mill press.
