I think the taper on that may have been either a brown and sharp #9 or #10. Likely whatever the taper was, it would have been used in a horizontal mill and it would have been held in the spindle using a dead center on the overarm support. My 1905 B&S No3 has such a center. All the best! Mike
I made an arbor for holding gear cutters from one with a blank end. The factory made arbors cost more than the gear cutter set. I may have to eventually buy one of the factory jobs anyway. Thanks for the video.
Lyle, folks pass by my computer checking out what I'm watching....They say "what do you see in that boring stuff".... there is no way I can explain the hand/mind/imagination that comes from machining & making things...The joy of machining is in the process...U R GREAT !!!!!...Jeff
interesting point about keeping collars and clean on an arbor. I was thinking it would just make the cutter wobble. never thought about the arbor bending
Put a baggie or small sandwich bag over the bottom of the oil can, or anything magnetic, and it's easy to to clean the chips off by just removing the bag.
Despite your ageing eyesight we say Thank you MrPete for this enjoyable and educational video.If you have some old jokes please include it in the next video.
i typically wear an older pair of prescription glasses that I dont mind scratching so much and I wear them on the outside of the safety glasses. the safety glasses get to be nice and tight as I have had a bunch of crap get past them before and the prescription glasses are less noticable hanging out there than the big safties are.
Today, those spring-loaded live centers are still available... but the Concentric Co. has been absorbed by the Riten Company: Happily, the Riten-Concentric spring centers are every bit as good (and expensive) as the Concentrics.
Have the dirt dobbers gotten to your tailstock lube reservoir? Nothing like a file tang through your hand to make it a bad day. Entertaining video. Make me want a Bridgeport, and I haven't even got my lathe cleaned and leveled yet. May settle for a mini-mill. Have a great evening.
Saw some vibration and noticed your tailstock bouncing. That cutter might end up spinning in the R8 collet if the cut gets too deep but its nice to take something that you have laying around and find a use for it.
Nice video. I must say that you make even the most mundane machining job interesting to watch. I guess a teacher needs to know how to entertain the pupils. Or how to keep their attention at least. Can you let us know the secret ?
I was just curious, did you notice any perceptible taper in the turning due to the wear of the lathe-? Or maybe the piece wasn't long enough for it to matter-? Looked like it came out good from here. Worn or not id love to give that old lathe a quick paint job, sad to see good machinery coming to the end of its glory days in terms of accuracy, sadder yet is many of them might have held up better if previous owners had taken better care in oiling, cleaning etc. --
chemech Googled it. It's from an Italian Carcano rifle. Similar to the one Oswald used on JFK. The bayonet folds away when attached to the rifle. Pretty nifty.
Mr Pete, you know I bought a end mill lot box at a sale and it came with end mill holders ,but some had tang ends instead of threaded ends for draw bar, I can't imagine useing in mill with no draw bar, do you know what they are used for, thanks
My guess is that by using centers in the original tooling holes and a dog for a driver, it was the best chance to keep the center of the cutting tool (original dimension) concentric with the new center of rotation for the shank.
After looking at your logan quick change vids you inspired me to revisit my logan restoration project as it was missing two low speeds on right side shifter. I couldn't see anything wrong so i removed the box again. I discovered someone before me had replaced the two gears in the handle but had installed them upside-down. I flipped them 180 and all speeds have returned..thanks
Thanks Mr. Pete!! Such a wonderful Skill God has given you, and to help others, A real Blessing!!!
Thank you kindly
Nice job. That old 9 inch still has some good work to do!
I really like that double ended cresent wrench! Gotta get me one of those!
Your a National Machinist Treasure.....Carry on!
😀
i must say i have learned so much on your channel and have been able to apply almost all of it to what i do. thank you very much!! keep it up!
That little lathe sure seemed happy being "refreshed" from this end of the monitor!
Great little first project on the lathe. Thanks for sharing. regards from the UK

Well they are knuckle-heads, Mr. Pete's channel is the best on You-Tube hands down.
THANK YOU!!!...Jeff

Great video! I always enjoy tool modification videos!

Nice mic. We have one of those at work. It's great. I got a starrett 216 mechanical digital because of your recommendation I love it. Thanks
I imagine the keyway was terminated with a drill because it was cut with a metal shaper. The drilled hole provides clearance for the chips.
Nice American flag plug 👍Also great Video very informative .

You can get safety glasses with cheater bi-focals in them for around $12. I wear them all the time. I get them at a welding shop.

Suggest either adding flats to take a thin wrench or slots for a hook spanner.
Another interesting and informative video. Thanks for sharing, happy new year.
Have you tried the voltx constuctor safety glasses they sell them on Amazon in the UK fully magnified not bifocal. I love mine.

Nice taper removal. Thanks for teaching.....teacher.

I was a little surprised to see that you oiled the emery paper. Is the purpose primarily to avoid dust/grid being spread around?

Thanks for sharing sir.. did you get some nice presents??....
Very nice, well explained video, thank you.
hi i dont do any machining, i only watch videos, anyway i wonder why dont they make the "dog" with two handles to eliminate all the vibrations?
Never thought of that. You better apply for patent

Great video... BTW, that bayonet is worth some big money! See eBay...
being made turned on centers, I wonder if the drilled hole at the end of the keyway was originally to tighten the drive dog in.
Hey Mr Pete, just going through some old videos.
How can I view the 5 part series you did on John Deere brake repair ?
Thanks

Nice work
thank you Mr Pete
Is that a switchblade Mauser bayonet?!
Or a folding blade...
I was wondering, as the blade - handle orientation seemed to vary from scene to scene...

Never seen
When using a dog does that limit the size of cut and cut speed ?
You think there is a way to make a tool rest like on a wood lathe, on a metal lathe and use for wood turning if I wanted to
Yes
Who Let The Dogs Out?!?!
Interesting you mention arnfest. Are you an OWWMer?
What is dog plate for, and I ordered a south bend manual so I shouldn’t have to many more questions
For turning between the centers
Why did he use a dog? What would be wrong with using the chuck and live center for this job?
My guess is that by using centers in the original tooling holes and a dog for a driver, it was the best chance to keep the center of the cutting tool (original dimension) concentric with the new center of rotation for the shank.
A+
What is your ebay name so we can look for your sale items?
Mrpete222. I currently have nothing on eBay. And haven't for over a year
