Can't believe the transformation you have achieved Adam, looking at some you videos from one year ago, you really have achieved a lot ! Congratulations, that takes a great deal of determination, well done Adam !
James Conner - well, then, don’t spill a bucket of water on him, or he’ll end up like the wicked witch of the west in Wizard of Oz! All melted away. Or maybe it’s from the hot chips... 😎
damn you have lost some weight my man, good work :D im very happy for you. And BIg thanks for all your videos. i have learned so much! keep up the good work. Sincere thanks ! jannick from Denmark. ( where we are in big shortage of machinists! )
Enjoyed Adam! In case your wondering I listen to these while working. I can usually picture exactly what you are describing and if not I walk over and rewind a little and take a look to see whats going on. ATB, Robin
Fun fact about skf. Skf is a Swedish company called "Svenska kullager fabriken", it translates to Swedish ballbearing factory . And they also started Volvo to increase the need for bearings.
Go on and adjust them bearings! On my '40s 20" lathe there was a very little bit of play on the bearings, could not see by indicating, parting could be done easily with upside down flipped tool but not at all the right way. Then i adjusted the spindle bearings, and noticed that not only the parting improved, i can take pretty much heavier cuts now with the same tools i used before. Very happy with the overall results.
Looks like someone got crazy with a pipe wrench on the roller my friend. Oh well, you can fix it. The new chart looks like a beauty covering a lot of procedure sizes. As I gave my handbook to an up and coming youngster I no longer have a bible. I can sure use another as life threw a changeup and I am back on the machining part time. Congrats to the new winner and you good sir for making that happen. You rock my friend. Love the spiral taps. I was sold the first time I ever used one. I sure look forward to seeing what is to come. It makes retirement a lot easier to live with my friend !
Breaks my heart. My Dad had two beautiful editions in mint condition that I would read even as a little kid... So sad Mum had serious mental issues and so much paranoia after my Dad's accident. One day she took all books and papers and all our memories of school with photos and reports and everything my Dad had from his time as a Mechanical Engineer..... One day she took everything out into the backyard and simply burned them all. I maybe just needed to tell the world that and here came an opportunity I guess. I enjoy your videos and I like the way you work.
Hey Adam, just wanted to thank you for the lesson with the end bell, im still very much an amateur machinist and that fixture was an excellent idea. I know it would be elementary to some but it was a great simple idea to use! Cheers, Troy
I worked in a tire factory and we used hundreds of rolls like you repaired they were repaired a lot. Rubber and paper processing use a lot of the same basic machines.
ADAM!! The weight loss is VERY evident in the start of this video. Keep it up man, life is entirely easier when you’re not lugging around extra weight. Look forward to having energy to work even harder and make videos that much better! God bless and great job 👍!
hello from Slovakia. I'm working with iron and I learned from you :) Thank you and I want a lot of success and another video for learning and getting acquainted with the beginners :) thank you :) he started to work and you fell short. nice work. I should start myself too: D
Can't wait til fabtech!! It's going to be a great time. I've actually swapped roller just like that out before down in Brunswick... pretty cool seeing the other work that goes into it.
Wow Adam, I can really see the weight loss in your face! I have lost over 100 pounds over the last few years and I am 1000 percent behind you brother. You are going to feel soooo much better as more and more pounds go away! I sure did. Keep up the good work on the videos too, its the best part of my weekend.
Love those random machining videos. Steve Lang sent me a set of precision ground shop stone that are great! That big boy drill bit looks like it's cutting just fine! Always get all the metal you pay for. It will eventually be used in the shop. Great setup for the end bells. 'Til next time.
Thank you Adam for show a different way to grab an end bell on the lathe. For this kind of end bells, we use to lathe a shaft with a little interference with the central (maybe the concentric gasket) bore, than a small plastic hammer do the coupling work. The torque it's enough good to bore the new journal.
My first machining job was in an electric motor shop, did that very sort of work for two years. Workholding was always a challenge, since the bearing sizes went from 37mm to 180mm and everything in between. Made or modified a number of fixture plates while I was there, got pretty good at 4-jaw indicating, as every housing had to be set in the lathe with both radial and axial runout of a thousandth or less. Only difference is that shop used mild steel sleeves, and I can't remember what company made them, but they cut with a very nice finish; only with the biggest bearings did I need to make my own sleeve out of DOM tube. Was pretty neat when they seemed to trust me enough to hand me a chewed-up little gearbox shaft and said "sketch this up and make another one." I see you had a cardboard box in the chip tray of the Pacemaker. Collecting chips to give as souvenirs? Incidentally, I work for SKF now, in the mechanical test lab for oil seals. Those bearings were likely made in the plant in Flowery Branch, GA. Good to see you're installing quality parts on your machine.
That's a lota work cranking those big boy drills. Maybe time to get a drill holder for the tool post. Or I have seen quite a few shop made tools to link the carriage to the tail stock so the power feed can pull it along. Great video as always. Thanks for the KBC discount, I'll have to stop in there and see what looks good.
Adam, Thanks for all these educational and inspirational videos. I learn so much from them. I am a hobbyist at machining with just a little Grizzly 8"x16" lathe. I also have a little 3D printer and a small cnc router. I at least get to play with some technology, even though it's at a small scale. I love watching you put all or your "real" machines through their paces.
enjoy watching your work, I'm just getting starting with mine. would like to get on your list for one of those machinery books. Keep up the great programs.
Just got my Old Mill ticket today, I also registered for the 2019 Bash too! Can't wait to see you and all the other creators....we all missed you at Mr. Pete's.
Gotta say. Most of us follow you for the content, not for the fast editing back and forth between scenes. There is a reason we choose to watch creators such as you Adam, and it is not for TV type - geared to low attention span viewer editing. Long time follower, love to learn from you, (Thank you!), just don't need the MTV style editing. Your content doesn't need that nonsense. Thanks again. JC
What up Adam great content hope you have some big boy steel around for Steve Summers and his new K & T. I can see him wanting a parking attachment. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you all put in to creat this great content.
Hey Adam, how’s it going? Going good I hope! From time to time, I repair end bells and armatures for an electric motor company here where I live. I’ve never thought of making a fixture plate like that. I’ll definitely keep that in mind. A lot of times if I can’t hold one in the chuck I’ll make an arbor that fits the hole in the end bell. First, I like to toe it down on the mill and take a light cut on the back of it so the face and back will be parallel. I take just enough to give me a smooth surface to go against the larger diameter of my arbor. Next, I’ll find a piece of round stock big enough that the back of my end bell can go up against after I turn a short arbor on it. Drill and tap it whatever you choose. Then I’ll find or make a thick washer to hold it with and bolt her up. Put this in your four jaw and indicate it in and your ready to go. Done several like this with no problem at all, as long as they’re not very big. As always great videos and great info! A machinist learns something new every day!
Good stuff here again. What a Great "B" Day gift it would be for me to join you guy's in Texas! I'll have to look up the info and see if I can come up with the funds to attend this event! I like the sentiment from the guy who got the handbook from a retired machinist, and now he's passing it on to someone else. Your looking well Adam, congrats on your weight loss! One silly question... Why don't lathes come with a power feed on the tailstock? Seems a bit odd when they have feeds on both turning and facing operations. 🤔 Take care, Razor!
Adam, you are amazing. I have learned so much, just from the things you talk, let alone show it's amazing I know as of right now I'm a week late to enter, however, I'm a proud electrician that has found the joy of machining. I honestly don't know bunk, if you look at my channel you will see that, but I do know I love using my tools to make cool things. I envy you my friend in many ways, even if we never really talk.
Hey adom am from india has small machine shop here love to see your videos its very informative am i learNing from your videos. Thank you adam for you video. NAMSTE.
G`day Adam , Mate can i ask a question ,,, HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR SHOP SO CLEAN ?, I only have a Nuttall (aussie lathe) and a german niski mill , all the hand tools ect , i fix everything people break , usualy 10 jobs on the go at once ,, If i use the air gun it trows crap everywhere ,,,, Oh did i say im great at turnning nice steel into little chips Usualy followed by a smack aroundthe head when i walk into the house and get crap in my wifes new carpet ,, Thanks for the vids brother merry christmas and a very happy new year TO ALL ,, Rob
As someone else remarked last week, your T-shirt will soon be too big on you. Congrats. And keep up your cameo appearance on This Old Tony. Very funny stuff.
Been there feeding big drills with the tailstock. Good way to get big, thick wrists and arthritis by age 50. Many times I wished the handwheel was big as a wagon wheel.
Greetings, I was at an estate sale this weekend here in Dallas and it was for an old machinist. I really wish you could have been here as there was more tools (And about 10 thousand baby food jars all labeled filled with screws of all types). I will see if here are any books left from that estate and see if you might be able to get them a new home.. I picket up a few starrett micrometer dial replacements.. If I cant find a good use for them I might send them your way to see if you an find a good home for them.
Adam , it was a long road trip for Pierre and I. meeting Mr Pete was great, a great man with a great family. Also having a chance to see so many viewers was humbling. Pierre and I went on to meet Brian & Bailey, met Jimmy Derista, went on to PA to spend some time with ChrisB257 and a few hours with Robin Renzetti. 2500 miles in 6 days. Pierre and I want to tour the southern US in a year or two. Cheers and keep up the efforts, really happy that your well on your way to meet your goal. take care
Did something happen at work? Seems from this video that you were told not to record videos there anymore? Too bad. I like the mix of home projects and huge work projects.
i always wondered that 3 and 7/8s drill bit how do you sharpen it it being so big with an angle grinder? or so you some how hold that heavy bit and do with bench grinder?
If that handle on the pacemaker is at the height it appears to be... I think I'd be trying to figure out a way to make that fold in. It appears to be at an inconvenient and potentially painful place. 😫
Adam i really enjoy the videos keep them coming. I'm thirty minutes from Lindale in Liberty City and hope to be able to offer you my thanks in person if I can get off work.
Towards the end, about 34:00, making sleeves, stand offs, bushings, etc from solid stock: I propose an alternative. Stock an assortment of short lengths of aircraft tubing. It comes as nominal OD's in several wall thicknesses per OD. The stuff is precision drawn, straight, and consistent high quality as it's intended for aircraft applications. Many dia/wall combinations are available to suit clearance over bolts, tap drill ID's, and telescopic fits. It's also expensive to use as construction material but for making short bushings it's far more economical than machining from solid stock. A wide variety of 1 ft lengths in desirable dia/wall combos fit within $100. That serves to establish a source of ready material for quick weld-in sleeves, standoffs etc for a good many years. I've re-stocked my stash from Wick's Aircraft for mant years. Saved me tons of time making RH/LH turnbuckle tubes - part them off and tap them - for Heim joint links for the local motor heads. 5/8" OD x 0.105 wall 4140 aircraft tubing will air harden to about 35 Rc, perfect for high strength steering/suspension linkage using 1/2" Heim joints. That kinda stuff helped pay my mortgage in racing season from the late '60's to 1993 when I hung up my apron. 35:50 "This lathe doesn't like parting." The compound slide is narrow and the Multifix tool parting holder overhangs the blade some distance from the slide. The cutting forces try to roll the roll holder/post/slide to the left. If there's any looseness or compliance, the parting operation will suffer. The tailstock flat way is nearly under the bottom of the parting tool holder for most diameters. I suggest you make a block or parallel to a close fit between flat way and the bottom of the tool holder as a solid support. This stops tool holder deflection and transfers cutting forces directly to the lathe bed. It doesn't have to be fancy; make a template from cardboard, chomp out a shape from plate, and mill the top and bottom edges parallel to fit the space with 0.002" clearance with the parting tool on center. You might need two: one for the HSS parting tool and one for the insert style. Can't beat stiff.
Coolant is normally used on small parts that can work harden quickly. With something big like what Adam works with, for that to work harden would take something like hydraulic pressure. Plus, the sheer size of the metal acts as an amazing heat sync.
I'm not saying you *should* build a little hydraulic cylinder to feed your tailstock quill in, but you could and I've seen the kind of finesse Keith Fenner has with his press...
Your Cameo on "This Old Tony" was stellar, I hope you at least made him come down and sweep out your shop for that one.
The "ha ha!" was possibly the greatest TOT moment ever.
Glad you liked Jason!
When the time is right I'll make sure he pays me back!
I want to see some AVE collaboration too!
I really enjoy the little clips of you that This Old Tony has shown on his channel.
Hi mate I was just watching some of your older vids and cannot believe how different you look with your weight loss. Keep it up man 👍👍.
20:33 .... speechless 😮 Thanks! I entered, but never expected to be picked. And 😂 LOL yep the you have a special “uitspraak” of my name.
Gefeliciteerd.
Can't believe the transformation you have achieved Adam, looking at some you videos from one year ago, you really have achieved a lot !
Congratulations, that takes a great deal of determination, well done Adam !
a thinner, slimmer ABom79. Congrats
Damn man, your weight loss is coming a long great! You can really tell! That's so awesome. Keep it up. You're the man, Adam.
OMG, you look like you are melting away. Great work on the weight management!!!
James Conner - well, then, don’t spill a bucket of water on him, or he’ll end up like the wicked witch of the west in Wizard of Oz! All melted away. Or maybe it’s from the hot chips... 😎
damn you have lost some weight my man, good work :D im very happy for you.
And BIg thanks for all your videos. i have learned so much! keep up the good work.
Sincere thanks !
jannick from Denmark. ( where we are in big shortage of machinists! )
Enjoyed Adam! In case your wondering I listen to these while working. I can usually picture exactly what you are describing and if not I walk over and rewind a little and take a look to see whats going on.
ATB, Robin
Looking good, I’m sure you feel healthier, keep it up. Always appreciate the machining content and tutorials, thank you for your effort.
Really impressed with your smooth running equipment, just a pleasure to watch them working you too. Thanks for sharing really enjoyed.
That's a great way to fasten the bell to the slug. I hope we get to see you do the turning.
Hey Adam, weigh loss is going well I see. Keep at it my friend.
Yeah! You are looking great!
Nice workholding tip, scrap is never really scrap.
Fun fact about skf. Skf is a Swedish company called "Svenska kullager fabriken", it translates to Swedish ballbearing factory . And they also started Volvo to increase the need for bearings.

Then i adjusted the spindle bearings, and noticed that not only the parting improved, i can take pretty much heavier cuts now with the same tools i used before. Very happy with the overall results.
There is something so soothing about the noise those bigboy drillbits make! Almost like a crackling fire.
Looks like someone got crazy with a pipe wrench on the roller my friend. Oh well, you can fix it. The new chart looks like a beauty covering a lot of procedure sizes. As I gave my handbook to an up and coming youngster I no longer have a bible. I can sure use another as life threw a changeup and I am back on the machining part time.

Adam: "I need to drill a pilot hole"
-searching
-rummaging
-looking
Adam: "Ahhh there it is! My 1-3/32 bit! That'll do!"
Breaks my heart. My Dad had two beautiful editions in mint condition that I would read even as a little kid... So sad Mum had serious mental issues and so much paranoia after my Dad's accident.

Cheers, Troy
That's a big hole you drilled. Would've been really easy trepanning it out.
I know what you mean. I've seen many of your videos. You do beautiful work too.
You need to hop the pond and give a demonstration at Adam’s shop. Good collaboration.
Yeah, was thinking a few times of your videos while Adam pushes those large drills.
I worked in a tire factory and we used hundreds of rolls like you repaired they were repaired a lot. Rubber and paper processing use a lot of the same basic machines.
MY DUDE, you're losing weight so quickly and its amazing!!! Good job bro keep it up!
So excited you're visiting East Texas. I've got tickets to The Good of the Land Fest and look forward seeing you there!
Your appearance on Martin’s video put a smile on my face! Great stuff, fella!
Looking good Adam! Definitely noticing the weight loss, keep it up man! Mad props!
I am so glad to hear my machines are not the only one's that don't like parting. thought i was doing something wrong.
Wow. Looking good Adam. Can really tell you are slimming down. Been watching for years. Love the videos
ADAM!! The weight loss is VERY evident in the start of this video. Keep it up man, life is entirely easier when you’re not lugging around extra weight.
Look forward to having energy to work even harder and make videos that much better!
God bless and great job 👍!
The sound of them chips coming off that big drill bit was so satisfying!
Thank you for the shout out, always look forward to viewing your videos.
hello from Slovakia. I'm working with iron and I learned from you :) Thank you and I want a lot of success and another video for learning and getting acquainted with the beginners :) thank you :)
he started to work and you fell short. nice work. I should start myself too: D
Another good SNS.
Looking forward to the next end bell video.
Thanks.
I am looking for one of those machinery hand book. Thanks Adam
you need to send him an email
Can't wait til fabtech!! It's going to be a great time. I've actually swapped roller just like that out before down in Brunswick... pretty cool seeing the other work that goes into it.
Me too JD. Are you going to make a video to announce the shop day meet up?
Wow Adam, I can really see the weight loss in your face! I have lost over 100 pounds over the last few years and I am 1000 percent behind you brother. You are going to feel soooo much better as more and more pounds go away! I sure did. Keep up the good work on the videos too, its the best part of my weekend.
Love those random machining videos. Steve Lang sent me a set of precision ground shop stone that are great! That big boy drill bit looks like it's cutting just fine! Always get all the metal you pay for. It will eventually be used in the shop. Great setup for the end bells. 'Til next time.
Thank you Adam for show a different way to grab an end bell on the lathe.
For this kind of end bells, we use to lathe a shaft with a little interference with the central (maybe the concentric gasket) bore, than a small plastic hammer do the coupling work. The torque it's enough good to bore the new journal.
Wow Adam, you really look healthier every video. Keep it up!
New to the channel glade I found it and I work in a machine shop myself. Love to learn new thing from more experienced Machinist.
SNS is my favourite, hey Abom you're really trimming down. Congratulations.

I see you had a cardboard box in the chip tray of the Pacemaker. Collecting chips to give as souvenirs?
Incidentally, I work for SKF now, in the mechanical test lab for oil seals. Those bearings were likely made in the plant in Flowery Branch, GA. Good to see you're installing quality parts on your machine.
Damn Adam! You're looking great, dude! You have to be feeling like a whole new man. Congrats.
Thank You, I was able to get the discount even in Canada for the KBC tools. Keep up the great videos Adam!
That's a lota work cranking those big boy drills. Maybe time to get a drill holder for the tool post.

Using the "Big Boy" drill it sounded like hail hitting the roof. I have never heard that sound using a lathe in my life. They were some big chips!
Sparkie Kosten
More like empty shell casings leaving a machine gun.
Nice to see that tent you are wearing looking a bit loose.
Keep it up :)
The K&t is going to run like new man ! Awesome share Adam .. ENJOYED !!
I have the exact same Victor lathe as yours. They don't like parting with any stickout!
Adam, You're looking healthier. I'm happy to see your success.

Don’t mind him, Adam. I love the content layout. Keep up the good work.
What up Adam great content hope you have some big boy steel around for Steve Summers and his new K & T. I can see him wanting a parking attachment. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you all put in to creat this great content.
Yea I’m happy for him to get a nice big mill!
Man you look so much thinner compared to a year ago :-)! Keep up the awesome stuff!! From Finland.
Man, you are thin!! Holy cow! Congratulations!
Hermoso taller! y todo muy limpio y ordenado. Yo que siempre fui un "aviador de sótano" admiro estos lugares tan bien armados. Adelante!
The chips off that drill look like bugles! Mmmmm bugles 🤤

Good stuff here again.
What a Great "B" Day gift it would be for me to join you guy's in Texas!
I'll have to look up the info and see if I can come up with the funds to attend this event!
I like the sentiment from the guy who got the handbook from a retired machinist, and now he's passing it on to someone else.
Your looking well Adam, congrats on your weight loss!
One silly question...
Why don't lathes come with a power feed on the tailstock? Seems a bit odd when they have feeds on both turning and facing operations. 🤔
Take care,
Razor!
Adam, you are amazing. I have learned so much, just from the things you talk, let alone show it's amazing

Thank you adam for you video.
NAMSTE.
Joop Terwijn is a Dutch name . I don't know how to phonetisise Joop ,but Terwijn is Tear (like tearing paper) and Wain

Cant wait to see ya in texas. Love your work Adam
G`day Adam , Mate can i ask a question ,,, HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR SHOP SO CLEAN ?, I only have a Nuttall (aussie lathe) and a german niski mill , all the hand tools ect , i fix everything people break , usualy 10 jobs on the go at once ,, If i use the air gun it trows crap everywhere ,,,, Oh did i say im great at turnning nice steel into little chips Usualy followed by a smack aroundthe head when i walk into the house and get crap in my wifes new carpet ,,
Thanks for the vids brother merry christmas and a very happy new year TO ALL ,,
Rob
Looking good man keep it up
As someone else remarked last week, your T-shirt will soon be too big on you. Congrats.
And keep up your cameo appearance on This Old Tony. Very funny stuff.
Looking good man. Weight loss is very noticeable. 👍
I've been looking forward to you repairing a motor shaft with a sleeve. I don't think it's been done on UA-cam yet. Keep up the good work!
I believe he said he plans on "spray welding" and turning the shaft.
Big boy drillin😂. Adam, you looking good man. Keep up the good diet work bro.
Been there feeding big drills with the tailstock. Good way to get big, thick wrists and arthritis by age 50. Many times I wished the handwheel was big as a wagon wheel.
Greetings, I was at an estate sale this weekend here in Dallas and it was for an old machinist. I really wish you could have been here as there was more tools (And about 10 thousand baby food jars all labeled filled with screws of all types). I will see if here are any books left from that estate and see if you might be able to get them a new home..
I picket up a few starrett micrometer dial replacements.. If I cant find a good use for them I might send them your way to see if you an find a good home for them.
Man, Looks like the diet is going Well! Adam!
Hi Adam,
Looking forward to seeing you again at The Good of the Land event.
Steve
nice setup Adam. the weight loss is really showing, keep it up!
Thanks Phil! Looks like you had a great time last week!
Adam , it was a long road trip for Pierre and I. meeting Mr Pete was great, a great man with a great family. Also having a chance to see so many viewers was humbling.
Pierre and I went on to meet Brian & Bailey, met Jimmy Derista, went on to PA to spend some time with ChrisB257 and a few hours with Robin Renzetti. 2500 miles in 6 days.
Pierre and I want to tour the southern US in a year or two.
Cheers and keep up the efforts, really happy that your well on your way to meet your goal.
take care
Did something happen at work? Seems from this video that you were told not to record videos there anymore? Too bad. I like the mix of home projects and huge work projects.
You know what the country song says, "Parting is so hard to do". Liked your video, keep it up.
Whats the shaft rotating back side of the lathe?
I see you found my dentists favorite drill....
Goddamn man, have you been working out? looking sharp bro!
i always wondered that 3 and 7/8s drill bit how do you sharpen it it being so big with an angle grinder? or so you some how hold that heavy bit and do with bench grinder?
Workholding! Thank you for this....................
21:05 "alrighty adam" 😂 ur the best love the vids
man ! I just ordered some tooling from KBC yesterday and now I watch your video xD
Adam. Keep the good work up on your weight loss. You can really see you are loosing weight. Well done.
I like that massive drill bit.
I liked the shaper video much better. 😉
BTW: sometimes the ears on the end bells are not evenly spaced!
Great content always something to be learned. Everyday is a new learning opportunity 👍

If that handle on the pacemaker is at the height it appears to be... I think I'd be trying to figure out a way to make that fold in. It appears to be at an inconvenient and potentially painful place. 😫
Nice work....
Ps: you should always use 6207-2Z bearings on eletric motors instead 6207-2RS....
Tiago Lomar Why? Metal shields vs rubber seals...is the heat what you’re referring to? Thx.
@@thomasutley yes...
I recomend 6207-2Z C3...
C3 is a feature to the heat expansion...but maybe here in Europe is different
Great job Adam!
Adam i really enjoy the videos keep them coming. I'm thirty minutes from Lindale in Liberty City and hope to be able to offer you my thanks in person if I can get off work.
Towards the end, about 34:00, making sleeves, stand offs, bushings, etc from solid stock: I propose an alternative. Stock an assortment of short lengths of aircraft tubing. It comes as nominal OD's in several wall thicknesses per OD. The stuff is precision drawn, straight, and consistent high quality as it's intended for aircraft applications. Many dia/wall combinations are available to suit clearance over bolts, tap drill ID's, and telescopic fits. It's also expensive to use as construction material but for making short bushings it's far more economical than machining from solid stock. A wide variety of 1 ft lengths in desirable dia/wall combos fit within $100. That serves to establish a source of ready material for quick weld-in sleeves, standoffs etc for a good many years.
I've re-stocked my stash from Wick's Aircraft for mant years. Saved me tons of time making RH/LH turnbuckle tubes - part them off and tap them - for Heim joint links for the local motor heads. 5/8" OD x 0.105 wall 4140 aircraft tubing will air harden to about 35 Rc, perfect for high strength steering/suspension linkage using 1/2" Heim joints.
That kinda stuff helped pay my mortgage in racing season from the late '60's to 1993 when I hung up my apron.
35:50 "This lathe doesn't like parting." The compound slide is narrow and the Multifix tool parting holder overhangs the blade some distance from the slide. The cutting forces try to roll the roll holder/post/slide to the left. If there's any looseness or compliance, the parting operation will suffer. The tailstock flat way is nearly under the bottom of the parting tool holder for most diameters. I suggest you make a block or parallel to a close fit between flat way and the bottom of the tool holder as a solid support. This stops tool holder deflection and transfers cutting forces directly to the lathe bed.
It doesn't have to be fancy; make a template from cardboard, chomp out a shape from plate, and mill the top and bottom edges parallel to fit the space with 0.002" clearance with the parting tool on center. You might need two: one for the HSS parting tool and one for the insert style. Can't beat stiff.
Was wondering why most machinist using a lathe doesn't use cutting fluid while running your lathe
Coolant is normally used on small parts that can work harden quickly. With something big like what Adam works with, for that to work harden would take something like hydraulic pressure. Plus, the sheer size of the metal acts as an amazing heat sync.
cool ... more entertaining and educational video stuff! keep up the good work
I'm not saying you *should* build a little hydraulic cylinder to feed your tailstock quill in, but you could and I've seen the kind of finesse Keith Fenner has with his press...
