Спасибо, очень хороший урок по восстановлению работоспособности патрона. Мне очень нравится Ваш подход к решению многих проблем к восстановлению оборудования.
A while back, my girlfriend and I used to drink coffee and watch your videos every Sunday morning. She mostly watched for the animals. Anyway, our son is 3 now and I'm looking forward to keeping the traditional alive with him.
Thank you Steve for an amazing video. I could not comprehend how in the heck you were going to create new threads in that jaw until you performed the operations. Clearly outside the box thinking on your part.
54 of my 68 years in Missouri. I live near Troy, any chance that we live nearby? I haven't watched Steve in a long time. This was a fun project to see. I am still a hack machinist, learning as I go with my UA-cam shop teachers. I have added to my fleet of machinery this year. The bigger additions are an American Pacemaker and an Elliott. I maxed out my 3 phase capacity to run these larger machines, and I started to build a larger rotary generator. I stalled with unanticipated issues. Other unrelated projects ate up my generator project time. Cold weather has driven me out of the unheated machine shop. I compensate by moving into my heated woodshop. Some of my boys helped me swap out my table saws on Thanksgiving. The woodshop now sports a functional, but tired Powermatic 66. It served a makers' space before coming to me. It suffered use and neglect, but it has good bones and some high cost upgrades. I have been working on its issues since. I am nearly finished. I have hopechest projects demanding my attention. The PM66 will be the heart of my woodshop, so I am taking time now to get it where I want it. The side blessing is that I have a 3HP heavily modified vintage Delta contractor table saw in the large machine shop and mechanic shop for those quick construction type tasks. You watched Steve's project with Show Me skepticism. This indicates that your experience and skill may be more parallel to mine than Steve's. I spent my career as a maintenance technician, skilled electrician and mechanic. 3.5 decades of carrying for a large production machine shop, mostly CNC, introduced me to machining. I have done just about any type of troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance on a wide range of machines, but in our shop, I had little opportunity to operate machine tools. My retirement hobby is collecting, rebuilding, restoring, and learning manual machining skills. I have become a friend of Lysle Peterson, and I now own his ST optical comparitor. I hope to see him next Saturday at the Lost Creek Machinery open house.
My wife appreciated your intro. Thank you for making it easier for me to watch machining video on a Saturday morning. I could be watching a Hallmark Christmas right now. Appreciate you Steve.
Hi from Dorset, UK. 🙌 Now that work is real craftsmanship Steve. Very impressive. Love the jig you made. Oh, and I keep a double sided stone (course/smooth) on my kitchen countertop for my knives. Nothing worse than a blunt knife.
Steve, as a teacher for over thirty years I love you teaching style; professional, relaxed and focussed, you would have made an awesome teacher young man. Kindest regards from Bonnie Scotland. Joe.
Hi Y'all! Thanks for the shout out to the ladies. Been following your adventures for years. Love the 'Johnny Cash' truck story and that it's Elizabeth's truck! Peace and Health to you and the family.
Very nice repair Steve. Definitely an intricate boring and threading process. Thanks for sharing. Hope you and Elizabeth and family have a great weekend.
It was like Christmas Morning when I got up and had another Steve Summers video to watch. Always enjoy your content. This was no exception. Praying that you and yours are doing well.
Getting colder out there Steve.. we are going to need some more machining content to help pass the time in this cold weather season.. 😊 Nudge,nudge,wink..
When you were talking about using a 4-jaw to cut the threads, my first thought was that it wouldn't work. My first idea was to fix it in a vise and use a boring head to cut it. But now that I think more, that would NOT work - no way to set 8 tpi on the up/down feed. Then I thought of welding/brazing material to the sides to let it fit in a 4-jaw. Probably would have worked, but labor. Then I saw your solution - much better. Experience counts, and you have it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Awesome job! That chuck will last a machinist like you forever, you keep your tools clean and don’t over tighten the snot out of it. I’ve fixed acme threads with braising rods that are very durable and strong. Happy to see your back brother! Love the channel!!
Just a FYI, I had to repair a 1957 half nut on Monarch lathe, tried brazing the cast iron but it would accept the brazed, so had to recut the root & build up with Belzona industrial plastic bond & had to setup the half nut halves on a faceplate & recut the acme thread, Love your vids!!!
You’re such a gem, Steve! You’re so wholesome and comforting to watch and you come up with some really impressive machining solutions. Thank you for everything you do! Sending prayers and good wishes to your family in this really difficult time 🧡
As a point of interest it may be a better idea to make a threading block which the chuck jaw can be mounted into so that the threads can be cut with a normal tap. The threading block is made in such a way that the chuck jaw mounts into the side of it completing the threading cylinder. I looked into this awhile ago having seen a cheap 4 jaw chuck on flea-bay as I was trying to figure out how hard it would be to fix it. I had also considered making a new jaw. Any way you look at it, this kind of job is a pain in the backside. Now that I'm thinking about it more you could also mount the jaw to the tool post and put the threading cutter in the lathe chuck.
Hi Steve, Welcome back. I cant tell you how much I missed your content, (it was a lot). As a turner myself, I find screwcutting to be one of the most satisfying aspects of my job, but as you said you need to keep your wits about you. I hope all your family are on the mend and look forward to seeing what you get up to next. Best wishes, Mal.
Great to see you back Steve ! I've watched machinists on UA-cam for years - Fenner, Rucker, This Old, AvE, yourself and many others. NEVER seen a setup so complex and Just, So, Finicky ! Well done, indeed ! !
Hello Steve, I truly hope Elizabeth is doing better, and am so glad to see you back. Really hope this is a great holiday for all of your family! Keep posting, Scott.
It wasn’t the most robust setup so I understand your trepidation and your delight that it stayed in the fixture and provided a good result. One never knows, no matter how careful and skilled one is, whether or not murphy will rain on your parade. He likes to wait until the last operation when you already have 2 days into the part!
I spent my day figuring ,sketching, marking a woodworking project. It was nice to see someone in the same sort of boat😁 Nice having you back. Give Cora some scratches behind the ears for me. Currently in Thailand enjoying your video.
Steve, I really enjoy watching the way you, and other master machinists (like Adom79 and others) come up with figures to do your work. Absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t know where the on / off switch is on machines like yours, let alone how to use them.
I wasn't' exactly sure how you were going to hold that damaged jaw into your lathe. This is where having "stuff" laying around in your machine shop really pays off. Even still, it's a precarious little part to hold firm to be able to machine the thread on that face. Nice work!
One of the major reasons why I watch UA-cam machinist content ( including the Pakistani videos) is it opens my mind up to several different possibilities in tackling various machining issues like work holding or, in the case of the Pakistanis nothing is out of the realm of possibilities particularly in making some type of tool
That was a next level repair. I did not see that one coming haha. Thought you might have made two new jaws from a block and cut a mirror image opposing jaw then cut a bore down the middle then either used a special tap or a boring bar like you did then cut the 'jaw block' down the middle. Then the other features.. Then figured out a way to case harden it... I think your repair is awesome and will last a long time.
Wow Steve that was one hell of a setup. One of the most unique I've seen. I learned a lot with this one. Glad you see you're back. You never have to apologize for taking care of you and yours buddy. UA-cam is a luxury, family is always always first. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season. Video making is tough and so time consuming. Thanks for sharing when you can. Awesome job as usual.

Watching a Steve Summers video is a wonderful way to enjoy a cup coffee on a Saturday Morning.
Glad you enjoy it! Now thay you mentioned it, I have to go make me a cup😊
@@SteveSummers Then when asked how you will hold that in a 4 jaw, you can say "here--hold my coffee and watch this". Great problem solving 👍👍
Hi Steve, great to see you and Cora back for another video on a Saturday morning.
Best wishes from Lincolnshire UK 🇬🇧
I echo that sentiment from Lincs 😁
The whole repair was cleverly thought out and executed. This was a great watch!
What a clever fixture solution, good job Steve!

An Excellent Plan, Very Well Executed. Thank you for taking us along to enjoy your success. ❤👍👏
Very nice repair Steve.
Definitely an intricate boring and threading process.
Thanks for sharing.
Hope you and Elizabeth and family have a great weekend.
Hi Steve, This is exactly why we have missed your content 🙂
There is no way I would have ever though about that process to re-create the threads.
Nothing as satisfying as bring "old iron" back to life. Great job! Wishing the best for your wife and you.
Great job. Always glad to see someone save a busted piece of equipment.
It was like Christmas Morning when I got up and had another Steve Summers video to watch. Always enjoy your content. This was no exception. Praying that you and yours are doing well.
I really appreciate your kind words!
Once again, you have totally impressed an old man! Super job! Thanks for the video.
One of the BEST machining videos I've ever seen! Love seeing Cora 😻😻😻
Thanks!
Thank you, We really do appreciate the support.
What a nice setup.. that is one tricky project
🙏🏻For Elizabeth & Steve 🙏🏻
Happy to see you back on the machinest horse.
Some of the smartest people I knew were machinists. It’s fun to learn something great from a great machinist! Thanks!
Couldn't wait to see how this was going to be done...thanks Steve, we've missed ya buddy!
Getting colder out there Steve.. we are going to need some more machining content to help pass the time in this cold weather season.. 😊

nice repair. You explain your thought process so clearly. Thank you. I enjoyed the video
Hey Steve! Masterful repair, love watching you. All my best to your family, I'll keep you all in my prayers.
Thank you. I'm glad you get some enjoyment out of the videos.
Clever stuff Steve, for me this is one of the great joys of engineering, finding solutions to problems and getting the job done. Excellent work!
@@geoffkeeler5106 Yep, a large part of a job like this is figuring out how to make it happen. I enjoy the setup.
Great job, Steve. As a fan of Hardinge HLV-H lathes I can really appreciate keeping fine tooling like that chuck alive. You continue to inspire.
Really great to see you back, we love your home workshop that would be typical…
Seems the old school SS vids are back. Interesting project, thank you, and good wishes to Elizabeth.
As an old lathe hand, that's some mighty fine lathe work Steve!
Like seeing your truck being kept in the shop.
I'm so glad to see you and Cora back in action. I really really missed your videos.
Thank you for sharing. Very nice repair👍

@@evanharriman5352 Thank you
I love repair jobs instead of just throwing away and buying new cheap junk that you will throw away soon anyway. Well done!
I like the older quality tools. This chuck was worth the repairs.

This was probably the most suspenseful lathe turning video I have seen. I definitely would have crashed it!
hi, nice 3d thinking sir...
So much easier to get stuff done when the Shop Supervisor is sleeping.
Nice return project Steve. Glad to have you back in the shop

Well done. Fascinating repair. Hope Elizabeth continues to improve.
I think you learned enough from repairing the 4 Jaw, to actually make a new jaw or even make a new custom 4 jaw.
Hell of a setup to machine those threads there Steve. Good job, well done.
