- Machining needed lathe parts for Joe Hildreth, owner of UA-cam Channel “My Heap”.

I have been following his restoration on his TH54 Atlas Lathe and he needed some parts for his tailstock machined so I volunteered my services to try to help him get his lathe up and running. He needed a custom bolt and washer made for his quill lock mechanism. Please subscribe and click the notifications “bell” to get notified of newly released videos. Thanks for Watching!

Rich, I cannot express how much I appreciate your help and support for my lathe and channel. Thank you sir. BTW, I would not have thought to use a center drill for a dead center. Does it try to cut into the center at all? Great video Rich.
Joe
You are very welcome Joe, best of luck going forward with your Lathe and Channel. The tiny center drill works great for supporting small diameter stock. Its hardened steel and wont score...they are tougher material than will ever be chucked for turning. Thanks Joe~ All The Best!
Rich 😊
you all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Simon Aaron Instablaster =)
@Rory Keanu I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Rory Keanu it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
That was a neat trick using the aluminum block for indexing your milling operation. Also making the "collet" for holding the square stock in the 3-jaw. Way to put that lathe to work!
My Kingdom For a Mill!! LOL
Now that is a proper machine washer.
That was Great Richard, liked the ideal with the little Center Drill. I use a little harden shank held in my drill chuck for the same purpose. Keep up the good work. Steve Summers
I recently made a small hardened 60 degree for scoring the face of the gyroscope flywheels but a 1/4-20 is tiny and the center drill works really good. Align the flutes right and you can get your bit in very, very close. Plus...it was already chucked up :) Thanks for watching. ~ Rich :)
Yeah , it would allow for great clearance and still support the part. very resourceful. Keep up the good work, Thumbs up on the video and your production / editing, always very very nice. I know you work hard at it cause
is shows. Thanks for the ideas SteveSummers
Much appreciated Steve, have a great week!
Steve, you also do a fine job putting your videos together and great content as well 👍🏼. **NOTE** To my viewers.....If you enjoy machining videos everyone should visit Steve Summer's channel and subscribe ua-cam.com/channels/jrGHSAkAN0ac8aVejwPBvA.html
Great work arounds Richard, the cut tube holding the round, great, the milling operation, well done, the centre drill dead centre, who'd thought. Good to see the support and promoting of a fellow youtuber. Thanks Peter
Thanks for the kind words Peter, glad you enjoyed the video~Rich
2:28 Ooooooh clever using the quill like that! 4:30 Measure twice cut once. Brainfarts exist D: 6:03 Didn't you make a center just for that purpose? 9:35 I feel like there's better ways to do this. But that's super clever, using the tool post's squareness to index! As you found out, you should've "used your noggin" and also prepared the stock to be reliable to index with :P ... outstanding job either way. Nice, clean and fast.
Learned a lot on this one...the mistake wont be repeated in the future for sure! :) Ohhh, and I am quite positive there are better ways to do this...its what my idea packed mind came up with first. Much better machinists out there than this old guy! :)
The 1/2 dead center I made was even too large for the little 1/4-20 bolt but the tiny center drill worked perfect for that application
i was wondering if you had centered a square piece in a 3 jaw , i wouldve used a 4 jaw , does mean more work on converting the lathe though
Yes, I could have used a 4-jaw, and should have in hindsight.
A fine job my friend. Your imagination is formattable there fella !
Thanks Dean, I hope the few thou isnt an issue. I dont think it will be, the square head fits a recess and just keeps the bolt from spinning
Well the great thing about steel is that it is soooo easy to add or subtract from. A shim or 2 licks of a file and the deed is done eh !
I was undersized so will see what Joe says once he gets them
LOL, Just whack it with a center punch to make it grow up eh, LOL !
Lmfao 👍🏼
Steve S. recommended your channel and I'm glad he did. Subbed.
Steve is a great guy...thanks for the sub and for dropping by!
Richard~
Nice work around!!
Thanks Chris, was challenging without a mill :)
I think that was a nice idea in the bolt square head nice
Thx, I didnt have my small mill at that time so used what I had available
@@MakinSumthinFromNuthin I sure like the idea
Works well in a pinch!
For a "palmetto" country boy .. you are sounding a heap too clever !!
Just trying to help out a fellow machinist and UA-cam creator :)
at 4:42 ha ha TOLD ya sooooooooooo !! (FYI.. I pause and comment as it goes)
(secretly I am impressed .. but dang ... you on a lathe sound like a 16 y/o who just discovered SEX)
I know you do all to well! LOL
Maching stuff from scratch is cool, even showed my mistakes like you wanted :)
good to see you spread the love.....it looks like you have an Atlas lathe too, can i ask what collet system you were using it looks very neat.
Thanks :) Without me rewatching the entire video what collet are you referring to? Sry, its been a while since posted that one...Lol
LOL, you will only need to watch 40 seconds worth......its the black faced collett, which your using to hold the milling cutter
Lmao!, ohhh that one! 😊 Its an ER32 collet chuck in the headstock. One of my first tooling buys was an ER32 collet set for the lathe. Its a Commercial Atlas 12x36, good lathe but it doesnt like parting steel
top man that's useful stuff. i have a 3 and 4 jaw but a Collett would be helpful, thanks for answering and helping me along.. . . . SUBSCRIBED :)
Thanks Peter, hopefully you might like some of my other machining vids :) ~ Richard
