Heavy Turning in the American Pacemaker
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2023
- After getting the cross slide gib adjustments made I was ready to try some heavy turning tests in the American Pacemaker to see how well the machine will handle the cuts. This was also to test to check the headstock gears, quick change feed box and also the power feed mechanisms. I'll share the cuts I make when roughing in large gearbox shafts.

This is the kind of content I could watch for hours.
In the 40s or 50s maybe...LOL (Stirring the pot)
This is the type video and content that got me to be a loyal viewer on the Abom channel early on. Thanks for posting it.
Last week Cutting Edge Engineering reminded me if your work and this week you remind me of them. Couldn't be happier.
Adam, this felt like one of the videos I orignally started watching your channel for when you were working at the machine shop.
Some heavy turning. Exactly what brought me here all those years ago.
Congratulations Mr. Adams for showing us your projects, you do them so well that you show us that respect for the profession of machinist
Hi Adam from the UK. It’s good to see you doing the stuff we’ve come to know and appreciate from your channel. I’ve been watching you for many years now. And while it’s good to see you progress into a new shop with lots of new equipment I really like the content you did to start with, seeing the older machines being worked by a man clearly very capable and knowledgeable. Please don’t forget your roots on this channel and those who love to see it.
He has grown significantly, that's what happens when you do your job right?
Good to see some new heavy metal turning on your channel again. It's been a while. Nothing beats big chips!
I'm always amazed that you can take a rusty hunk of metal and cut into it with such precision with such an old tool and turn it into a beautiful part. Thank you for making these videos. You have such a wealth of knowledge!
Adam, I appreciate your presentations because you show the steps from beginning to end. Some channels show all the successful attempts, and try to make things look easy. You show us what you do, and the steps to get to that successful result. In other words, you show us how you solve problems. That is way more important than just showing a finished product. Keep up the good work!
You really put the old Pacemaker through its, well, paces. I'd be willing to bet that lathe helped win WWII. Nice to see that old iron handle the tests with ease. Thanks for sharing, Adam!
Man that video was the bomb! Seemed like the metal was fighting back. Great filming. It's different seeing Adam actually challenged by his work.
Fun for sure it's been a hell of a Chip Drought since you left Motion! Brings back memories of you hogging metal off those monster shafts, always fun to watch the Big Boy Chips fly. Thanks Adam.
I vote to see a "giant" acme thread out of this thing. 😂
Watching lathes make chips just never gets old--especially big ones!! Thank you for making these videos!! 👀👍💯‼🙏😎
The American Pacemaker is one quality lathe. PERIOD !! They are the industry standard for the world. Nice cutting too.
Adam is an artist. This video is why I subscribe.
I posted on your FB sometime last year about a 1948 american pacemaker I picked up. I am still learning (just a hobbyist ) and definitely learned from this video how such small adjustments can make. Still loving your videos after all the years since they helped me find a hobby which I enjoy. Folks I know give me a hard time for my first ever lathe being a 8k lb behemoth.
It's so good to see some serious chips like you did in your older videos. What an amazing machine you've got!
Been watching and enjoying your videos for years. Fun to see you turning a big piece of metal on an American Pacemaker again. I'm not a metal worker but I enjoy learning and appreciate your methodical approach to work and problem solving as you complete projects. Thanks for the video.
Good to see the ol gal making big pieces of steel into little pieces. It would be interesting to me to see the amp load when you're doing those honkin big cuts.
Always a pleasure to watch your technical skill and passion for what you do. Thank you.
Just great watching you and you tools doing there thing. Being a retired electrician, something very special watching you and your machines doing what they do. You have a great talent n have been watching you for years. The sounds, the look of what you are turning I'm beginning to learn what to look n listen for. Can't thank you enough for everything you share.
That’s an impressive pile of chips. Glad to see the machine working up to your expectations!
Amazing job. Always a pleasure to watch you wrk.
Hell ya! Old school Abom chips!
Precisely what I wanna see when I come home from a super long shift, some super heavy duty turning on the beast of an American Pacemaker!
I think your grandad is glowing with pride.
its all great but i like the pacemaker work the best. adam is always having fun! many thanks
That was a great video - thanks Adam.
had a blast watching.......cheers my friend, so great to see you expanding....
you are the man......
Awesome Adam thanks for the show
Damn those pacemaker machines are impressive!
Thank you for sharing your talents!!! Always entertaining and inspiring!!! 🎉
Feels like it has been a long time since we watched some heavy machining on this channel. I enjoyed it, thanks, Adam. I'm sure it takes a lot more to set up those deep cuts than what we saw on the video but the experience and skill still shone through.
Thanks again Adam for this interesting content and great photography.
Great show, enjoyed it, Adam. Thanks.
Thanks for the great video!
Good to know that the pacemaker is living up to its name. Nice machine. Thanks for the video Adam.
Very nice I had a blast thank you Adam
Thanks Adam, you are the man!
Always great to see the manual lathe at work! Awesome machine👍🙏
Can you imagine a jigsaw puzzle of a picture of those chips?!
OMG! Merch item! I'd buy one. 😃
Same
Nice to see the Paecemaker getting a good crank Adam^^
Got to love the OLD AmERICAN made tools
That was absolutely amazing. Man that is removing a tremendous amount of metal. And all that heat was going straight where it was supposed to, in the chip pan. Neat to watch man. Thanks Adam.
Adam, always enjoy your work... and it is not every day... even in a machine shop, you get to turn the big metal. I think that is why I enjoy watching the turning... even though I have done the same myself many times... it just is fun and fun to watch you do it too!!! Thanks!!!!
Thank you Abom! You never fail to entertain me, and teach me at the same time
Great video. I sure did have fun watching this. It's great to see the pacemaker move some serious metal. Pumping out some chips in the new shop.
Really enjoyed it, love seeing the old iron working👍
Wow, you got some new toys since last time I watched... Right on.
That. Was. Awesome!! 😂😂 man, that's what I've been missing after dealing with heavy schoolwork the past several weeks. Some good old fashioned Abom79 content! Glad you're back buddy! I would totally LOVE to see you machine up some massive abom sized gearbox shafts with those big machines!! That would be freaking amazing and I'm sure everyone who follows you would agree!
Now that felt like some classic abom right there!!
Yaaay this is how I remember this channel
Love your heavy machining videos! That was the first one I watched years ago when you were at the other place
Wow, Your Pacemaker was really hoggin it off with that second insert with a beautiful cut.
Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed watching this. I was able to learn a lot about how adjusting the Feed & Speed affects the cut. I have a small Tormach 8L lathe and cannot make cuts like this, but this demonstration will still help me in my learning process. Thank you!!!
What a Mad machinist… good job dude… beautiful
That's some wonderful therapy Adam
thanks for sharing Adam
Always enjoy your videos following you since I cannot remember. Thanks
I could say the same
Love seeing the manual stuff!!
CNC and manual. I love them both.
Love to see the return of some heavy metal removal on your channel, reminded me of the good old Abom content!
I wouldn't get too excited
Same with the inserts. Got some heavy roughers cnmg from Sandvik and still have half the box after years of use. Killer work man like all the videos.
Yeah that was nice. Thanks 👍
Nostalgia video. Love me some hefty chips. Great work 🤙
Thanks Adam! 👍
Once you got that dialed in Adam that second tool did a really good job. Enjoying your videos sir give a thumbs up on all your videos. Great job.
Awesome man!
Very nice Adam 😊 looking forward seeing some gearboxshafts made in your nice shop 😎👍 as a long time viewer I missed that, but it takes time to set up a shop like this, so I waited patient for this, I hope I get to see some of the old school Abom mixed with some new school Abom working on them nice parts and machines soon ☺️ Great Adam, I learned a lot from your videos, lets see what comes next 🤗
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER FINE SATURDAY NNIGHT WELL SPENT
Old's cool Abom content from back in the day 👍
LOL, I was agog, the whole video. I am accustomed to my little 10" Southbend taking 10 thou a pass. Very cool, enjoyed it!
It's great to see some nice heavy cuts again in the old pacemaker. It would be nice to see you doing some real jobs soon in the new shop like the old days @ motion.
Good content Adam big
👍
Thanks for sharing
those cuts were making the ol' Pacemaker grunt... good test of the machine and your power supply setup.
Nice to see the American Pacemaker running.
I love the shifter design on that lathe. 24 speed with a hi mid and lo range 🤘😎 truckin
I'd say it has proved it is a machine tool that can meet your expectations Adam.
Making big chips like the old times! Nice video Adam!
Impressive turning
I think you should have a t-shirt made with you adjusting your 4 jaw Chuck saying tighten the highs and loosening the Lows .
Adam, I will say that I worked this formula both ways & came up with same rpm, I digress !!!
I’d love to see the slow mo guys with their super macro extreme high speed camera and lens getting right up in there and seeing exactly what’s going on with a cut that big. Even testing out inserts and different hss shop made tooling.
Great camera work....Some of the other channels are selling those chips in a clear plastic about 3' by 3' cube for a $100.00 a piece....Thanks to the man with the BIG SMILE 👍
Shoe🇺🇸
Yay, back to classics Abom=heavy turning
Adam thanks for the large machining.
I like all machines but of the machines I've seen you use I think the shaper and the lathe are my favorites.
right on Adam, cheers from Orlando, Paul
Incredible
The first lathe that I learned how to operate in high school was an American Pacemaker. It was a good solid machine.
Beautiful pictures also... 📸👌
I used to run an american like that except it had a hydraulic duplicater on it. I roughed 8" 4140 crane shafts. I would take .750" total at .032" feed with kennametal tnmg 542 KC850 inserts.
Looks good
Good deal Adam! That live center deserves a medal👍
We have centers a little bigger than that one at work and I have machined a shaft that weighed 26,000 lbs with it.
@@TheJohndeere466 good deal, I was thinking about the center holding down against the tool pressure. I don't have much experience with parts more than maybe 200lbs
Now this sort of video is definitely educational. I like all of your vids but really like this one. Stateing the speeds, feeds and depth of cut is really good. As well as the reason for them. Failure is one of our best teachers! Oh and what is that metal since that is another important bit of info?
I only have a small hobby lathe, but I learn a lot from you. Thanks a lot.
And greetings from Germany, where the Multifix comes from, I also use them. 😎
Glad to see you have it running well with a little bit of work.
