well it's a lathe ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.
Fact: Chuck Norris doesn't need a laithe. Once the work is centered in Chucks hand, out of fear for it's own existence, it becomes whatever he wants it to be.
I want to see the handpuppets !!! After I discovered that the runout on my 3-jaw was up to 6 thou, I started using my 4-jaw more and more. For the first few weeks it was really frustrating, but then I got a little system working and I found it to be almost relaxing. There is a sense of accomplishment of getting a part centered in the 4-jaw to better than a half a thou. I haven't seen my 3-jaw for a year or so.
have a good at a very small Shipyard I once worked at my labor was the one and only machinist he was from Haiti. He had a problem with people coming in and using his lathes. Then he took all the three jaw Chuck's and stuffed them in the Attic
I enjoyed this! The jokes actually made me chuckle! Love the devo reference!I've been retired for 5 years. Make stuff on my lathe all the time. The other day I thought I needed a bigger 3 jaw forgetting that there is a never used large four jaw in a box under the lathe. This was 6 years ago so I hope you're still turning! 😁
Im not going to "ignore that part you didnt see" Im going to be highly critical of it. 1.It felt like it went by way too fast and almost like It was gone before I wad able to digest any of the information 2. I was really diggin that interpretive dance number you and your cats did. 3. There was wayy too much stuff you left out for me. Maybe your more experience viewers dont need all the hand holding but to me the information seemed a bit empy.
Great content as always. Only one gaping hole in this storyline, Tony. Adjustable backplate chucks. They can make a three jaw run on center, but only because they are effectively a four jaw on one side with a three jaw on the other. I suppose Clickspring would include the cyanoacrylate chuck on the list. 😎

I'm not a machinist, nor do I own a lathe, however I do enjoy expanding my knowledge, mostly though it's the witty humor that brings me back to these videos.
Impressive how many subscribers you got since I subscribed. Please keep the great work up! The jokes in your videos always make my day while I learn something new at the same time.
Thanks, Tony. I feel like you talk to us first-graders really well with these machining basics videos. As a guy who's just getting ready to dip his toe into machine work (I'm mostly a dead tree carcass guy), these vids are extremely helpful to me.
I restored an old atlas lathe and ive been going back throw your old videos trying to figure out how to use it. Your videos are such an incredible collection of knowledge
Well I'm on to you Tony! Everyone else have a theory about the pixelated part, but I think it was because you didn't want us to see how bad of shape your spindle was before you cleaned it ! 😆 All in all some good basic info ! 👍 👍 Thanks for sharing and take care.
i only do metal work at school and this man makes it look like a baby could do it inspires so fucking much i love his content he could get a paper sheet and talk about it then some how still make it entertaining
Picking only one, and without sampling all the other gems that will surely follow, @2:24 ... abso/it depends is priceless, and refreshes my appreciation of TOT and my enjoyment of the exhilarating dangerous-waterslide experience his videos demand as payment.
Awesome as always! Maybe worth a mention that many smaller lathes, particularly of the precision bench type, have integral collet tapers in the spindle, eliminating the need for a collet chuck.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but that was the most interesting boring discussion on chucks. I loved it! I MUST be a tool geek. Love your stuff. Looking forward to the next one.
I have no knowledge of machine shop stuff and will never be a machine shop guy, still I love your videos. Your sense of humor and editing is just pure gold. Your videos give me a good time and I learn new things I will probably never put into practice. Anyway, just wanted to say Hi and thank you.
Sir, I dont own a leathe and i am not planning to own one, but your videos are pure gold and I dont wana miss any of them, you have that art of explaining complicated things with such a smooth and easy way, I love it :)
Man, your hilaruous, love your videos and you ' re dry humor. What I think is funny is that i used to want to eccentric machine every thing, in a 4 jaw, and get a dividing mechanism on a tail stock so you could make, like, eccentric spiral staircases, just how artfully can Manuel machining get, ya know. now I just appreciate being able to make accurate simple parts.
Fantastic work Tony thank you - CHUCKled all the way through ! I've been (hobby) machining for a long time, but only recently bought a lathe and found out everything you said in the video the hard way ! As for your comments about editing, I've posted a few videos myself where my arms are in shot (but not in your league) and now have a special T-shirt set aside to keep continuity as a 10 minute video can take several days / a week to film.
Depends how good your spindle brake is. I forgot to take the brake off once and the lathe screwed its way half way through the wall before I could stop it. 12tpi Whitworth, as I recall.
I wish you would become a machinery teacher, I absolutely love your videos and I'd be more than willing to set through your classes and do projects together
Great video as always. You mentioned never having seen flex collets for square stock. They exist, i have some. Just thought i would throw that out there. You do great work , thanks for sharing.
As a newbie to lathes I found this video welcome, fun, interesting and answering a lot of questions I didn't know I had. I had not a clue about chucks before watching, now I have some understanding I am sure with a little knowledge I can be quite dangerous.
Round my house, Chuck is the 3 jaw (horseshoes n' hand grenades), Bruce is the 4 jaw (Power and precision), and Ip Man is the collets (Speed, Precision & wisdom). And My spindles innocence is always clean and protected by using sock puppets. Thanks for the fun and lurnin, Tony! Today is Trifecta Day....a Tony, Chris and a Mr. Pete, OH My I may melt down and run in my shoes!! ~PJ
Got a good chuckle out of that video :) I would stay away from ER for workholding in the lathe, it is relatively annoying because you cant hold very short parts without a filler-piece in the collet. You left the allimportant magnetic lathe chuck out :(
Yes you need a filler / plug. Especially in the Pratt flex collets. I do not own a mag chuck for the lathe. They are foreign to me therefore I fear them.
I find it amazing that Stephane uses a 3jaw and simply loosens the backplate and centers the work with an indicator. I've never seen anyone do that, but he makes it work well. So that basically destroys Tony's position that the 3jaw can't do accurate work holding. I think they need to step outside and settle this like men, with chuck keys. Last man standing. They should probably settle the magnetic chuck question at the same time.
I didn't read all the comments so someone may have answered already. They do make square ER collets. Good video. I learned almost nothing, but I like to review stuff to keep things I'll never use again sharp and you're easy to watch.
Hi Tony. New subscriber here. I am working toward getting a lathe. Still learning a lot. I found your video, so far the easiest to understand and therefor the most helpful. Thank You.
Always one step ahead that Tony is. Very good video Tony. Sock puppets make machinery seem less intimidating. You should have left them in, it's the method my wife used to teach me the basics. :-) Thanks for all the hard work Tony. Steve Summers
I watched this 4 or 5 times already and just bought a Lathe and although I know exactly what I want and have 2 chucks already you bet I'm gonna watch this again :D
My metal lathe is a bit older. It has a finished surface and a threaded spindle. The face plate(s), Four and Three jaw thread on and seat on the finished surface. I also have the double angle Collets and Morse 4 head-stock. When I took delivery from Dad, I had the 3-jaw a bit out more than expected. I found the chuck was threaded on with small strips of brass in the threads and on on the finished surface. This canted the chuck and imposed the error. I cleaned the spindle and then looked at the chuck. It was full of chips also. Many years of chips found their way into the chuck. I checked the numbers and extracted the jaws and was able to clean and lube the spiral. Naturally, the 4 jaw was like new as were the face plates. I added the nice Collet and much more. What I learned was to buy as good as I could because I might upgrade the mill or lathe and would keep the quality options. I enjoy the lathe that Dad and I bought together in the basement of a massive hardware store in 1952. I used it yesterday. I hope someone will look at their chucks and find the error they chased.
Some have a lever to change feed rates but only Tony has a lever to change chucks... must have gotten it installed during his time travel adventure. Nice work.
So there was a part you cut out? I uh, kinda need to see that. For science. Has nothing to do with my addiction to your channel. Seriously your production quality is so good I think you should be in cinemas. I hope you get paid for this, it's quality.
In a bundle Tony, you are hilarious as all get out (your poor family..haha), your knowledge; extremely thorough, your ability to convey that knowledge is as good as it gets. If you lived close by, you'd have to block me on your phone as I'd be picking your brain 24/7. Keep these awesome and informative video’s coming, n Thanks. JP
Thanks for the information. I just bought a SHARS for my Logan 821. After some work on the back plate it is OK. Haven't gone to collets yet. Keep the videos coming...........
I love my Shars 4 jaw scroll chuck so much that I want to upgrade my old 4 jaw independent to a 4 jaw independent Shars. Those things are 3x the mass, with 50% deeper jaws than the old ones. Crazy stout. Really well made.
I am in the process of making a back plate for a 5C collet chuck for my 10" LeBlonde. I was hoping this video would be a very timely gift from heaven... a God-send. It wasn't so much of a God-send, but I still enjoyed seeing how beat up your center was! BTW I wish I had a keyed spindle so I could thread in reverse like the big boys. :-(
Anyone else eating when he removed the 3 jaw and spit food out? I knew something was going to happen, but totally got hit unawares. Very well done. Still chuckling about that one.
well it's a lathe ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron.

I'm sorry Ton', but the correct answer to "what's your favourite chuck" is always "Norris". Just in case.
You should definitely engage squints when dealing with any "Norris" style Chuck. Safety Third! I mean First.
Fact: Chuck Norris doesn't need a laithe. Once the work is centered in Chucks hand, out of fear for it's own existence, it becomes whatever he wants it to be.
@@thomasdickson35 prefer Chuck steak
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@thomasdickson35 WTH!!?? You can't have a Chuck Heston!!?? Sheesh!!?! 🤔😲🙄🤣🤣🤣
There really needs to be an Academy awards equivalent for UA-cam channels / videos. I was entertained, amused and learned something, thanks Tony!
thanks Ward!
Hahahaha, I actually spit out my ice scream laughing at the blurred lathe. You're the best, This O. Tony.
I was eating a Taco Bell Empanada. About choked. Old Tony strikes again. :D
That and how they all look different, and that's normal.
Damnit, man, I woke up my wife when I started laughing. :)) was it a hole or a shaft that was blurred? Both?!
Keeping it pg
I pooped my pants, having loose motions laughing at his jokes. Tony strikes again 😆
We watched one of your videos in class the other day. Came home and subbed. This guy knows his stuff.
nice!
wait.. unless it was some kind of film school and a 'what not to do' demonstration.
I want to see the handpuppets !!!
After I discovered that the runout on my 3-jaw was up to 6 thou, I started using my 4-jaw more and more. For the first few weeks it was really frustrating, but then I got a little system working and I found it to be almost relaxing. There is a sense of accomplishment of getting a part centered in the 4-jaw to better than a half a thou. I haven't seen my 3-jaw for a year or so.
it feels like that deserves a "That's what she said."
have a good at a very small Shipyard I once worked at my labor was the one and only machinist he was from Haiti.
He had a problem with people coming in and using his lathes.
Then he took all the three jaw Chuck's and stuffed them in the Attic
Late Sunday morning, the house is quiet, a second cup of tea, a little more toast and a video about chucks.
Livin the dream.
life sure can be good...
I enjoyed this! The jokes actually made me chuckle! Love the devo reference!I've been retired for 5 years. Make stuff on my lathe all the time. The other day I thought I needed a bigger 3 jaw forgetting that there is a never used large four jaw in a box under the lathe. This was 6 years ago so I hope you're still turning! 😁
I can learn machining from anyone. I'm here for your outstanding comedic timing. Thanks for the laughs.
Always great. Love the pixelated spindle nose. My south bend is modest too
Jim
I agree but he showed the "full montie" later in the video. LOL Great video..
Fred Miller how did that get past UA-cam? Maybe because of the artistic nature?!
I'm watching this video for exactly two reasons. #1 the amount and quality of information #2 your very unique and refreshing humour!!!
I love those automatic chuck changers on the old lathes, don't make em like they used to!!
@Robert Slackware lol
Im not going to "ignore that part you didnt see"
Im going to be highly critical of it.
1.It felt like it went by way too fast and almost like It was gone before I wad able to digest any of the information
2. I was really diggin that interpretive dance number you and your cats did.
3. There was wayy too much stuff you left out for me. Maybe your more experience viewers dont need all the hand holding but to me the information seemed a bit empy.
7:57 "spot on" if metric. Oh man... I loved everything about this video. Thank you!
Never quit your style of humor.
The best vids on Utube. Even if I don't give a fuck about the content, it's still enjoyable to watch.
Great content as always. Only one gaping hole in this storyline, Tony. Adjustable backplate chucks. They can make a three jaw run on center, but only because they are effectively a four jaw on one side with a three jaw on the other.
I suppose Clickspring would include the cyanoacrylate chuck on the list. 😎
Thomas Utley I was thinking about that as well. CA glue and clickspring. Haven't seen anything from him in ages it seems.
courier11sec He's been busy marking off the progression of the sunset each evening, then inverting the results for Australia to check the Antikythera Mechanism's math for the northern hemisphere!
Thomas Utley It's pronounced, "Supahglue ahbah."
Isn't that what they say in Boston? :)
time to do some GRAVING on the S U P E R G L U E A R B O R
I'm not a machinist, nor do I own a lathe, however I do enjoy expanding my knowledge, mostly though it's the witty humor that brings me back to these videos.
I need a tee shirt that says "dead nuts (spot on if metric)"
Your videos are always a treat.
Impressive how many subscribers you got since I subscribed.
Please keep the great work up! The jokes in your videos always make my day while I learn something new at the same time.
Don't for one second think that your contribution is going unnoticed.
You know, if your chuck is too inaccurate for the Energy Domes, you need to whip it...into shape.
And whip it good.
...and shape it up. To get it straight.
Go forward please, move ahead - it's not too late.
Before the cream sits out too long...
Let's just "move ahead , go forward. Because it's not to late. To whip it .
Thanks, Tony. I feel like you talk to us first-graders really well with these machining basics videos. As a guy who's just getting ready to dip his toe into machine work (I'm mostly a dead tree carcass guy), these vids are extremely helpful to me.
I restored an old atlas lathe and ive been going back throw your old videos trying to figure out how to use it. Your videos are such an incredible collection of knowledge
Your videos are timeless and a huge help! I keep discovering more of them every day. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge
God-Damn it Tony. I was just about to go to bed.
Just Power Electronics No kidding, I woke the wife from laughing at Tony's superb humor.
How rude of me. I'll try to be more considerate next time, I promise. :)
By the way.... when ya getting a Patreon? TAKE MY MONEY
As always ... i was in a hurry skipping the ad to watch your video, but this time i caught myself doing it ... never again ... awesome content!
Well I'm on to you Tony!
Everyone else have a theory about the pixelated part, but I think it was because you didn't want us to see how bad of shape your spindle was before you cleaned it ! 😆
All in all some good basic info ! 👍 👍
Thanks for sharing and take care.
These videos are never boring- even though I don't understand 51% of what you're talking about... and that's down from 90%.
You have such a specific type of humor and it's so rewarding when I actually start to understand
Good discussion on chucks, the next one on Bob. Thanks for sharing.
I don't have any bobs for my lathe! :(
Another great video. You have the gift of explaining things in a comfortable, funny, and understandable manner.
Again thanks!
Thanks for the insight and the laughs. Most appreciated.
Seen them all, liked them all, please make more.
thanks! more coming right up!
i only do metal work at school and this man makes it look like a baby could do it inspires so fucking much i love his content he could get a paper sheet and talk about it then some how still make it entertaining
It's always such a treat when I see you've uploaded something.
I hope you're able to do more soon!
Picking only one, and without sampling all the other gems that will surely follow, @2:24 ... abso/it depends is priceless, and refreshes my appreciation of TOT and my enjoyment of the exhilarating dangerous-waterslide experience his videos demand as payment.
Awesome as always! Maybe worth a mention that many smaller lathes, particularly of the precision bench type, have integral collet tapers in the spindle, eliminating the need for a collet chuck.
I didn't know that.
This Old Tony My Hjorths and Rivett all take 4NS / 5NS collets directly in the spindle. :-)
Was not expecting to be entertained, but I’m glad I was.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but that was the most interesting boring discussion on chucks. I loved it! I MUST be a tool geek. Love your stuff. Looking forward to the next one.
thanks Chris!
I have no knowledge of machine shop stuff and will never be a machine shop guy, still I love your videos. Your sense of humor and editing is just pure gold. Your videos give me a good time and I learn new things I will probably never put into practice.
Anyway, just wanted to say Hi and thank you.
You really have a great speaking voice and are an excellent storyteller. Thoroughly enjoyable, real gold.
still liking this channel. thanks this old Tony....
Why I love this channel this Tony is a wealth of knowledge, a friggin encyclopedia if you will
I watch all these over and over again. And always have a laugh. :)
A three jaw chuck makes a dandy Christmas tree stand.
The best tip I have ever gotten from This old Tony Video's
I just woke up...and u just made my day!
Thanks,man.
Stay classy.
I love your timing in editing. The way you edit your narration. It's just too good.
THANK YOU! That video answered a lot of my questions. A superb declarative work.
I enjoy your videos. Your a very intelligent fella with great sense of humor
The basics is the best way to get a good feel for workers!
Thanks
Thank you O. Tony, what a great video, you taught me lots and lots.
Sir, I dont own a leathe and i am not planning to own one, but your videos are pure gold and I dont wana miss any of them, you have that art of explaining complicated things with such a smooth and easy way, I love it :)

and again and again: Extreemly interesting! You're our teacher!
Fantastic work Tony thank you - CHUCKled all the way through !
I've been (hobby) machining for a long time, but only recently bought a lathe and found out everything you said in the video the hard way !
As for your comments about editing, I've posted a few videos myself where my arms are in shot (but not in your league) and now have a special T-shirt set aside to keep continuity as a 10 minute video can take several days / a week to film.
those two dislikes are from the three jaw chucks
Do two of the jaw chucks share an account?
That's awesome. I was a lathe operator for about 2 years. It was fun, I hit my thumb like 20 times.
Entertaining and informative. Many thanks Tony!
The dryness of the humor is very savory
How much lathe could a lathe chuck chuck if a lathe chuck could chuck lathes.
probably a lot.
...aaaaand now I want to see AvE put a lathe IN a chuck...
Depends how good your spindle brake is. I forgot to take the brake off once and the lathe screwed its way half way through the wall before I could stop it. 12tpi Whitworth, as I recall.
Eleventeen bruh
Our Pugs really enjoyed this video! By the way, you are an excellent instructor and this is from a retired instructor! Please carry on!!
Great video!! Thanks! Your humor gets me every time
Good stuff always
Love your sense of humor
I wish you would become a machinery teacher, I absolutely love your videos and I'd be more than willing to set through your classes and do projects together
Jokes are so subtle, that I usually start laughing 5 seconds later
Great video as always. You mentioned never having seen flex collets for square stock. They exist, i have some. Just thought i would throw that out there. You do great work , thanks for sharing.
Your editing is always on point. Your videos crack me up. Lol keep them coming.
As a newbie to lathes I found this video welcome, fun, interesting and answering a lot of questions I didn't know I had. I had not a clue about chucks before watching, now I have some understanding I am sure with a little knowledge I can be quite dangerous.
Glad to hear it Alex!
I need to get me one of those chuck swap levers...
Round my house, Chuck is the 3 jaw (horseshoes n' hand grenades), Bruce is the 4 jaw (Power and precision), and Ip Man is the collets (Speed, Precision & wisdom).

You deserve to be roundhouse kicked for that.

Nice
Got a good chuckle out of that video :)
I would stay away from ER for workholding in the lathe, it is relatively annoying because you cant hold very short parts without a filler-piece in the collet.

Yes you need a filler / plug. Especially in the Pratt flex collets.

Do not fear the magnet!
This Old Tony that turn of phrase is funny coming from an expat.

Awesome, enjoyed it and learned few things along the way.
Loved it. Thanks for the great information, and as always, a laugh.
Always the best videos!!
Thank you for the explanations!
I learnt something mate! I do know about all of these parts but it’s good to hear again. :)
Hi Tony. New subscriber here. I am working toward getting a lathe. Still learning a lot. I found your video, so far the easiest to understand and therefor the most helpful. Thank You.
my pleasure HH and happy to have you. have fun / be safe!
Always one step ahead that Tony is. Very good video Tony. Sock puppets make machinery seem less intimidating. You should have left them in, it's the method my wife used to teach me the basics. :-) Thanks for all the hard work Tony. Steve Summers
The way you pronounced "Three-Jaw-Chuck" fit that pixelated lathe perfectly.
I love these frequent videos! I'm spoiled!
I watched this 4 or 5 times already and just bought a Lathe and although I know exactly what I want and have 2 chucks already you bet I'm gonna watch this again
:D

Yes really.

Hey, I know you😀
Bobby Duke Arts , hey! I know you!
"Ignore that part you didn't see." LMAO. I am not a machinist and don't have a workshop, but I love Tony's videos and enjoy learning what he teaches.
You said the four jaw chuck is nice because it's flexible. Shouldn't a good chuck be rigid? 😉
Your earthling language confuses me.
This Old Tony Pardon my French but, un mandrin peut il être à la fois flexible et rigide?
A good chuck should be Norris
Some have a lever to change feed rates but only Tony has a lever to change chucks... must have gotten it installed during his time travel adventure. Nice work.
So there was a part you cut out? I uh, kinda need to see that. For science. Has nothing to do with my addiction to your channel.

Thanks for the information. I just bought a SHARS for my Logan 821. After some work on the back plate it is OK. Haven't gone to collets yet. Keep the videos coming...........
Sorry, I missed what you said about repeatability.
I love my Shars 4 jaw scroll chuck so much that I want to upgrade my old 4 jaw independent to a 4 jaw independent Shars. Those things are 3x the mass, with 50% deeper jaws than the old ones. Crazy stout. Really well made.
I am in the process of making a back plate for a 5C collet chuck for my 10" LeBlonde. I was hoping this video would be a very timely gift from heaven... a God-send. It wasn't so much of a God-send, but I still enjoyed seeing how beat up your center was! BTW I wish I had a keyed spindle so I could thread in reverse like the big boys. :-(
I got to get one of those chuck changer handles installed on my lathe... Thanks for the video.
Anyone else eating when he removed the 3 jaw and spit food out? I knew something was going to happen, but totally got hit unawares. Very well done. Still chuckling about that one.
Nicely done Tony. I have the same Colchester Student with the L0. A fine system, until you have to try to find a new chuck. Thanks. R.J.
