As someone who has to be creative and find workarounds it's nice to see a channel where the machinist does the best he or she can with the tools that they have or they make them. Far too many seem to have limitless resources and a new machine or high value tool simply appears when it is needed. Side projects are a way of life.
Good thinking Rustinox re-using the drive end of the leadscrew. The pin that you mentioned to fix the two parts together will act as a sheer pin if it's not too hard. Cheers Tony
That was a significant amount of backlash on the shaper table feed, I don't blame you for wanting a new lead screw. The 2mm pitch will also make more precise and fine cuts too.
G'day Rusty. Another Great Video showing what you can do & overcome with what you have. So many side jobs & parts but you still going forward. While you have Snow, here in Perth Australia we have 38 to 40 ++ so have fun in the cooler weather, while we melt. Lol😅😊
Nice video Michel, isn't it amazing how one job can generate multiple side tasks, but that is what the home shop is all about. Cheers and loved the snow shot!
Many thanks Michel for the shout out to my channel. Much appreciated. Good plan for the new lead screw. Maybe the shear pin had broken? Hope you can sort out the problem without too much trouble. ATB Cheers Nobby.
Hi Michel ☺, well one leadscrew leads to another, or hopefully a small problem to fix, and then back to finish the job. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's an easy fix. Thanks for the video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Hi Michel, Haha I like your editting you always make me laugh!! It reminded me of "Mon ami le fantôme" (Randall and Hopkirk (deceased))!! Bad luck with the loss of drive on the lead screw but I'm sure you'll get it fixed. It's snowing down here too. Have a great weekend!!
And that's why we need two lathes in the workshop, for the inevitable side projects. I wish I could disappear like that when my partner comes looking for me with a "man job" in mind.😂 Regards, Preso
Hi Michel. It may be an illusion, but your origonal leadscrew looks like a Acme thread & the one you are making looks to be a fine thread. I am obviously missing something in my old age. Steve.
Hopefully just the shear pin on the lathe leadscrew Rusti and nothing more serious. Before you go too far, I would cut your old leadscrew at your intended split line to make sure it is soft enough for you to machine. Would hate for you to find that out after lots of hours have gone into the new threaded part. Cheers, Jon
I share the frustration when the job just gets more and more complex. Just looking at the set angle on the top slide for thread cutting - is it 15 from 0 or 15 from 90? You have me thinking ... Cheers
Odd that we both have lead screw videos this week, although I cheated and bought a Ball Screw, there's always some damn problem to overcome with these projects, I copped a couple in my latest video as well. If you have stopped watching my videos because of the ads, the good news is I'm seriously considering getting rid of them and going down a different path. 👍
@@Rustinox I know that feeling, just getting over the worse dose of the flu I think I have ever been smashed by. I bit the bullet today and decided to drop the ads from next week's video. 👍
Burrrr, we missed the White Fall here this round, but another new cold front has us busy with the fire place! This was a great video Michael, and what a way to skin the cat to get the job done 🙂. Go go, 60 in my my office, and 74 by the Fire Place, Bear.
Sir, you are the gremlin Eliminator; While they do come back you have a very good offense against them! Great video! Look forward to the next adventure!
Michel, how did you know that the wear or play was in the lead screw and not in the nut? It is more likely that the bronze nut is ground out than the steel lead screw.
Ouch! 😮 Oh, I do hope your lathe problem isn’t more than a shear pin and that you will soon be able to complete the new leadscrew. 🤞🙏 Thank you for the entertaining and informative video. Good luck with completing this project. 👏👏👍😀
Great video, Michel! Thank you Nobby for sending Michel DIY Chinese dinners! Because we all know that is all cats are good for. *mumbles something about damn useless furbags plotting his demise*
I think every job I do is a side job. My life plan is to relax in a chair and drink a 🍺 beer. Good idea to reuse the end piece. That will save time.🔩⚒️🔧
*_Tis the season for lead screws. I think I'm going to go make me some fries and reflect on the battle of the bulge._* Those pesky left handed threads... 😁🥸👣
@@Rustinox Yep. My grandfather was in the battle. After the battle, it was the end for the germans and the beginning for home machine shop owners all over Europe.

I think it's the best way.

The backlash was a problem from when I bought the shaper. Glad I fixed it.
We get snow once every three years. Thanks for sharing.
Lol. What year is it now?
Mister Rustinox, I love the vacuum cleaner on the background.
It's a museum piece.

40+ is too much for me. I can't handle that.

There is always something. Isn't it?

My pleasure, Nobby.
10 side projects in order to complete the main project seems about right. I know you will get there in the end.
Sometimes I don't even remember what the main project was...
Excellent video as always. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks.
It seems I always have those side projects too! Maybe that is why I don't seem to get my main projects done! Great video!
I don't think you're the only one :)
Good one . Hey , i like that little vice you used ! 👍
There is a build video in my play list.
looks cold!!! looking interesting that leadscrew problem.
I will fix it :)
Nothing to say just an obligatory algorithm boost for the channel. 👍👍
Thanks. It helps.
Good special effects, Rusti! 👍
Thanks.
No adverts! worth a like just for that but as always the content is great. Be interested to see how good the shaper turns out.
Well, I can't contol the ads.
No i meant there was no adverts when i watched your video, cheers@@Rustinox
Hi Rusty, Hopefully just a minor problem with the lathe. At least the new shop teleporting system is working nicely.
Cheers....ATB...
I hope so too. We'll see...

I can disappear and I don't need to.
You need to and you can't.
It's unjust...
We have regular snow here too. 😀
Yep, the white one.
Now time for side project 3. Thanks
Indeed.
Thank You, Sir
Welcome.
Hi Michel. It may be an illusion, but your origonal leadscrew looks like a Acme thread & the one you are making looks to be a fine thread. I am obviously missing something in my old age.
Steve.
Your eyes didn't fool you, Steve. You're right. The original has a 4mm pitch and the new one 2mm. I'll explane why in the next video.
Hi Michel. It's almost certainly the lead screw shear pin that's gone.
I will show in next video what happens.
As always there’s a problem lol thanks Rusty
Indeed, there is.
Machining with humour. Doesn’t get much better.
Thanks.
Hopefully just the shear pin on the lathe leadscrew Rusti and nothing more serious. Before you go too far, I would cut your old leadscrew at your intended split line to make sure it is soft enough for you to machine. Would hate for you to find that out after lots of hours have gone into the new threaded part. Cheers, Jon
The old lead screw is soft. I checked it with a file. (without dragging on the backstroke)
very good job rustinox
Thanks.
Hopefully something simple like a shear pin or key sheared in the leadscrew?
I hope so too.
Even nicer to tune in to your shop goings on when the mercury drops below -20C
Thanks. Here it was -10°C.
I share the frustration when the job just gets more and more complex. Just looking at the set angle on the top slide for thread cutting - is it 15 from 0 or 15 from 90? You have me thinking ... Cheers
The top slide isn't at a specific angle. It's just to clear the tail stock.
To cut the trhead I plunge in at 90°.
@@Rustinox Ah, I understand. Thanks. 👍👍
Looking good so far Rusti!
Thanks.

Close to the fire. The place to be.

Just go for it. That's all.
Thanks

Michel, how did you know that the wear or play was in the lead screw and not in the nut? It is more likely that the bronze nut is ground out than the steel lead screw.
There is so much wear in the tread that I can see it without measuring.
Ouch! 😮 Oh, I do hope your lathe problem isn’t more than a shear pin and that you will soon be able to complete the new leadscrew. 🤞🙏
Thank you for the entertaining and informative video. Good luck with completing this project. 👏👏👍😀
I will figure it out. For sure.
Good video hopefully your lead screw problem is an easy fix Thanks Michael
I hope so too.
👍👍
Thanks.
Pop in pop out. Just regular.
If you say so :)
Limit of two side projects per project video?
I was more limited by the temperature in my workshop.
I bet the pin that spins that lead screw has left the chat.
Could be. We'll see.
Great video, Michel!
Thank you Nobby for sending Michel DIY Chinese dinners! Because we all know that is all cats are good for. *mumbles something about damn useless furbags plotting his demise*
But, I love cats. And, of course other animals too.
@@Rustinox I love cats too... with sweet and sour sauce... with soy sauce.... or just grilled. :P I am joking of course.

The battle of the bulge is a vast topic. And really interesting.
