- Creating a replacement axle tube for a 1972 Oshkosh Sander, that took a shit because of the lack of greasing...
A tip on adjusting the tailstock while finishing the machining of the Axle tube...
@DieselCrawler86 Most of the time I'm using my indicator set up for diametrical travel against the tool post and cut to half the double depth on the fish tail or handbook ref. Testing the fit with a test nut. When theres no test nut, I like to use Peedee wires...
I like to cut, .010" per side till, .050" then .005" per side until finished depth, a couple spring cuts to gloss :)
That was one heavy duty repair , you did one hell of alot of work getting that baby done for the customer .
Superb work with attention to detail , .....I almost can not lift my 10" 4 jaw chuck any more , there is no way I could have ever lifted your 15 or so inch 4 jaw .
Keith , I really liked the way you corrected the taper in that 30" tube , I have always done it the slow painful way of taking a small cut and moving it and taking another cut and checking it until i was on.
I am going to use your math way and do the whole equation and move it once and see if I can get it to work for me , this will be a great time saver for me ....thanks Keith for your videos , they are teaching me many little tricks I can't get anywhere else !!
Unfortunately, It's a button pushing job. I hope one of these days I'll have a small job shop of my own. Watching your videos brings back many fond memories of my younger days learning the trade. Thanks for sharing, Keith. Mike
I'm really glad to have found your videos. I was hell bent on being a mechanic as a kid. My freshman year of high school (spring 2001), we took a tour of the local vocational school (Allen Thornton Career Technical Center in Killen, AL) and I fell in love with the machine shop. I signed up to take the precision machining class and was in there a half dayfor 3 school years. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about machining. Nowadays I work for Caterpillar in Decatur, IL wheel machining.
@02stanggt Hi Mike, This world is starving for more jobbers and job shops!
The other day, I was asked, aren't you afraid of giving your secrets out...
I replied, I'm more afraid of not passing down my rare trade tips and tricks...
Thanks for the comment and your welcome, Keith
Looks like a Lodge & Shipley with maybe L 1 spindle!!! Great machines!
Thanks for the comment, I do that on occasion, even just sticking the quil of the tailstock in larger bore because of the weight...
@TheKelstr Hi Kelly, I use the same simular math of Rachio's for shafting alinements :)
I've had other axle tubes apart, swapping, shortening and even spinning the pumpkin, all have been interference fits and spot or rosette welded!
The amount off at any one location for drilling is still close enough. The amount off center that you may have to dial true at any one spot for turning is adjusted, to suit that set up. It’s more common in older used or worn ways on a lathe bed...
I like to use a steel rod chucked up in my tail stock and run inside the work piece bore to catch the stubs that I part off in my lathe.. It frees up my hand for applying the cutting fluid while the other switches off the feed :-)
@rogerdale65 Clausing Colchester, but I have run a few Lodge & Shepley's in the day...
nice work....great trade/skill
a couple of years ago you stoped lifting that 4 jaw,,,,,,,,ya no shit, to bad we did not learn to stop picking up that heavy crap years ago or never
Another masterpiece! The repair is as new! :-)
Useful suggestion, something new to try...
A piece of Mech Tube 4130...
I will gladly put up with the advertisements to watch your videos! They are worth the extra hassle.
@billdlv I said: (and a spring cut) just a pass without advancing the cutter depth, letting tool pressure do its thing :)
Thanks for the comment, will keep that in mind! ;{)---
The (Trim) brand coolant, I use in the mill keeps it from rusting!
Hi Keith - I agree with everyone else that you make excellent videos - thank you!
What kind of steel are you using for the new axle tube?
Great work on the lathe Keith. At 10:52 you say something about the last cut you took on the threads. What did you say I couldn't make it out?
I see the machinist apprentice cat in the background there :)
@chris96xj Sorry Chris, I broke down and let them in. While were on the subject, I value all inputs and comments made to my channel and tubes, with that said, Are my videos strong enough to have that department tag along for the ride? I'm going to set up paypal on web soon for donations, and then remove that department, if the out come is great enough. Just looking to pad some of the time it takes me to create vid's. :) Keith
Yet another awesome video from you Keith, well done once again. More great tips for me to file away. Not wanting to sound pedantic, but when you reset the tailstock you said the runout was within 2 tenths. I believe you may have meant the taper was within 2 tenths. I only mention it as your videos are such a great teaching tool watched and absorbed by students of all levels, and it may have led to confusion by those newer to the field.
@OlliKochi Hi Olaf, It is a Clausing Colchester 17" :)
Hi Keith
I am fascinated by the way you are centering stuff in the 4 jaw. Can you do a video where you elaborate a bit on this? Thanks for all the good ones!

I was just wondering how you measure your depth of thread? Do you just use what the Handbook says to the pitch of the thread or do you use a thread mic or wires?
Also, just to push my luck. How much of a cut do you take when threading? On mild steel I hit it with .020 every cut and finish with a skim.
Thanks for the comment, that happens when you walk the talk your meaning is there and sometime your tongue tied or spurt out with a similarity of meaning. Glad you caught, it and understood what I was portraying anyhow.

@KEF791 Keith I get a lot out of your videos and I don't think I'm alone on that one. I have not made as many as you but I can totally relate to the amount of time it takes to make a good quality video. Although I'm certainly not a fan of the ads you need to make up for your time somehow. I'd pony up a few bucks so you could continue to post videos and can the ads.
Interesting project to an old carpenter
Adding to the last comment, if that crummy spline comes apart thats attached to the axle is going to take out all of that great work you did ,maybe this could turn out to be a great repeating job for you LOL.
great work keith! i do spindle repair on trucks and trailers. never seen a version like this. what make is the axle in the oshkosh?pete
Keith how are you re-indicating the tailstock back for drilling etc?
Hi K Fenner. What do you call this Chuck conecting on your lathe? I mean the 4 jaws chuck with the big nut with internal threads? mvh sverre eriksen. Trondheim. Norway.
How did you know the axel tube was press fit on the hub/spider?
Looks great, Keith! I always love to see how a rusty stock becomes a nice and shiny metal part :D
But why do you use sulfur base-cutting oil on your lathe and water-base cutting fluid on your mill? Doesn't it make the parts rust if you don't invest some hours into cleaning and drying the mill after the job is done?
Or is it made of stainless?
Greetings

I would gladly make a donation to keep from having to put up with the commercials.
@KEF791 Keith, The videos you make are awesome. Im not sure how much revenue youtube gives you for your vids but its not enough. I thought you did this initially to pass the plethora of information you have gathered ,rather than make money. I just hate ads thats all.
"lil spanner wrench" ? lol
Would it have been worth it to build up the out side of that worn spline hub with some weld then re machine it to the proper diameter?
I am no machinist, I just love to watch this type of video. Question, why don't you run any sort of coolant during your machining process like so many others do? Just wondering.
Why did they cheap out on the inner hub spline? kinda sounds dum to me.
You get a job like that, how do you decide among all the 100s of steel alloys? Yes, determining high/low carbon is easy - but say 1018, 1144 etc - how?
hey what happend the ugly sales department got ahold of your videos
Kitty!
