I always enjoy watching manual machine work. I work around cnc lathes and mills daily. At home I have antique machines and actually love to feel the part I'm making. You can feel the cutter and the metal cutting. And as far as accuracy, you can do both ways just as acute if you know your machine 😉.
PLEASE don't take this the wrong way. I started watching you because you were doing all these things that I could do myself. I don't have the equipment, but the process works with almost any manual process. I love the CNC work, and I'm happier than ever that Booth Machine Shop is a going concern. But it's not the same. So I am very happy that you mix in the manual machining as well. The variety and the decision making keep it very interesting, and I look forward every week. Please, keep doing your thing. I'll continue to watch, whatever we happen to get.
It was very kind of you to make that part for Jeff. That lathe might have been made during WW II so there won't be a lot of them still around. That was a fun video to watch to see how much effort it takes to make one little part.
I really like all of your content. Both the manual machining and the CNC. Keep it up, don't pay any attention to the wrinkled old prunes whining in the comments.
Great to have the drawing to talk to. Even though as you say not necessary to make the part, it certainly adds to clarity when you are explaining to us what you are doing.
I like your split screen approach. I tried that, thought it looked great, but my viewers didn’t seem to think much of it. I think the two perspectives really shows a lot more of what is going on.
@@terryjennings2356 I'm sure he'll add that. If you want a professional title block with the bells & whistles, that takes time and knowledge that I'm sure Adam is not familiar with in Fusion or any other CAD program. I've created my own A thru F sized drawing formats from scratch in Solid Edge (Siemens), and it takes time to do it well.
The first thing I learned out of school was that there is no such thing as "standard drafting practices" lol. Every company I've ever worked for does it different. Some places put an exact tolerance on things if one is required, like for a press fit bearing, but otherwise it's just understood by the operator to get it close as possible. Others have a chart of standard tolerances for different applications/dimensions so that you don't have to waste time detailing them on every drawing.
@@terryjennings2356that is not needed for something this simple. He is just working to improve his cad and cam skills if it was actual production data thn you need it. This is just for fun. There is more data on that sheet than what you usually get anyways 🤷♂️.
or at the beginning! or anytime, actually sometimes i watch 5 or 6 of your earlier vids instead silly tv programs for an evening's entertainment/education rock on
I have a Lodge and Shipley Lathe that has a taper attachment on it but it is missing the piece that locks the taper attachment to the ways. I would try and make one for it but I have no idea what it looks like. If you would have a picture that would be great. Great informative video, thanks for doing it.
Nice job sir. The part looks great and will certainly do the job. Also, great work on the video production. I always enjoy the close up stills too. Thanks!!
This is the first machining channel I started watching about 6 years ago. I like watching Adam work. I am curious how much production work Adam is actually doing these days. He used to machine 6’ long cylinders now he makes 6” long bolts. There is a lot expensive equipment in this shop - it just doesn’t seem to get much use. I personally like videos with fabrication and repairs he used to do.
We all have to evolve and adept at some time i been watching his vids for almost 10 years and theres so much you can learn in machining different kinds of parts never close your mind to any possibility of learning something new even if its not your cup of tea
Looks to have a similar thread cutting gearbox to my Colchester Student 1800, very easy to use. The caveat you should have added when you were checking for burrs with your finger, is that it helps to have finger tips like a Blacksmiths apron when doing that
Is it worth sending a PDF of that drawing to Keith at Vintage Machine to put in his archives to help "the next guy" that might need the same part? Eventually alk these old machines are going to need parts built from scratch or repaired to nominal.
I've learned there is never a one-off. Having a drawing of past work (hardcopy or softcopy) will help you when you get a request for this part or something similar in the future. Taking the time to make a dimensioned drawing has prevented a lot of mistakes that wasted time and materials.

When you were cutting and machining the heavy tubing for the weld shop, did they figure out why his bandsaw blade was snapping. I'm guessing that he was using the wrong blade set. You need the teeth further apart when cutting thicker materials. We had the same type of bandsaw where I used to work. We never noticed the supplier sent us a different blade that we usually ordered. The teeth were too close together and the steel had no room between the teeth before they exited the cut and would snap off the teeth. They would work fine on thinner materials.
months ?? a ordinary bolt or all thread would have sufficed to use it to make one on the lathe its for . its just a stand of with a bose to rotate on when not in use to safe wear on the gear. the bose is to safe wear on the rotating . so if you dont rotate it cause its in use during that one job you could just bolt it on noting critical aslong as the gear is in nice contact with the leadscrew and when threading you start on the right numbers and if unsure what numbers use always the same. or dont disengage the halfnut 😉

Great Video Adam, Just wondered why you threaded it with single point threading rather than using a die? Maybe just for our edification I suppose and you already had it in the lathe but surely threading the ends with a die as the final step would have been quicker and more accurate?
A die will not cut the full thread depth all the way to the thread relief groove. There will be some degree of taper in the threads, which unless you do some sketchy things will not allow the nut to fully seat. Is it quicker? Sure. Is it "more accurate" when considering machinist standards? Absolutely not. For a hobbyist, using a die would likely be fine. For a professional, who normally is measuring things to 0.001" or even 0.0001", it would be an insult to their profession.
I rather think the slot next to the nut for the dial to slide on - is to relieve oil and scum from the lathe that might get on - and the dial hole pushes it. Allows for a tight fit on the nut.

I'm not a machinist. Please share why you turned the small diameter first. Would the outcome have been any faster if you had turned the larger diameter first? Also, if you scale the drawing to 2x, it will still fit on the page and eliminate the need for extra drawings. The larger size allows for dimensioning without the clutter.
The order of operations allows for a more rigid part during the single point threading. If it were all taken down to the smaller diameter, there could be more part deflexion.
@@zambootookabooky3725 I fully understand what you mean.

The casual display of skill here is so impressive. Really interesting to watch, thanks so much for posting!
Great video Adam, good tip about working the fusion work into an existing project! Kevin definitely is a huge help!
As always beautifully executed, this is great value machining techniques to novice machinists
Love the hands on videos as opposed to the cnc type videos.

For my own learning what calculations or rule of thumb for depth and width of thread relief and also radius.

Adam, why don´t you use a DCMT cutter? You would not run permanently into clearence issues with your live centers.
It's amazing how with a few hours and a couple tool swaps you have a part that would take months if it were even possible to find one.
