I love stuff like this! It's been so long I have forgotten nearly everything, but I do remember the instructor saying "DON'T remove cuttings with your bare hands, always use a rag", that's about it. Of course we don't have much use for toolmakers & machinists in America when all our industry is being outsourced...
Getting a Myford ML7 a week on Monday - looks to be in decent condition, so videos like this are great. Thanks for taking the time & trouble to put it on UA-cam !
Excellent, simple video that shows a lot to a beginner without over complications. Will be putting this series on my phone as a reference for when my new lathe arrives. Think I'll slip the crocks though. Thanks to myfordboy for helping newbies.
I just bought my first lathe today a Myford Ml 10. This is the first video I've watched on using a Ml10 and I just subscribed. Cheers and thanks I've learned a lot already.
That was a great Video and good practices for working on a Lathe. Back in 1973, my first job was in a Machine Shop. The firs thing I learned was, Don't turn the Lathe on with the Chuck still in the Jaws!:O In the 80's I was a Tool Maker in an Air Craft Plant (General Dynamics). We had a Turret Lathe and a Bridgeport Mill. Brings back memories and reminds me of some things that I didn't even know that I forgot;) My Calipers are just plain old Dial Calipers. Now I see the "need";) Don
@viol999 You could do it that way if you chose. Its important though not to take the work out of the chuck and hold it by the larger dia. you have just turned as you would loose the concentic properties of the work.
Great videos, Thank you, Just bought an ML10 & these are fantastic for learning before trying myself. Keep up the good work & thanks for sharing your knowledge & techniques. Deep respect from a total beginner.
This is really useful, thanks very much! It's almost like magic watching the metal disappear! I am restoring an old wartime motorcycle and nuts and bolts are really hard to find so I thought learning to use a lathe might be the answer. Your videos make it a lot less intimidating! Thank you :D
Yes, the measuring tips were new to me. Set the calipers to the nominal measurement, zero the calipers, and work to null any difference as the part is machined. (I'm new to metal working on a lathe.) Roy Lewis Buffalo, NY USA
Hi,Sir ,how are you doing ,My name is Miss Wang ,i am a new machine tool sales ,i want to learn knowledge from you ,thanks for your time ,looking forward your reply
@doobydooby223 I know what you mean with the Rocol. The smoke makes the chuck rust. The red stuff is an unbranded one I picked up at a Model Engineering exhibitionit was very cheap and works well. Not as corrosive as the Rocol. I have an extractor fan above the lathe and switch it on when it smokes.
Great video.Just what I need.I got a little Emco SL lathe,and haven't done much with it yet. Each new trick I learn,I wonder how I manged without it after a while.
@ani4al I was taught at school the imperial system, I am older than you ! Metric came after leaving school. The main reason I use this though is all my machine tools are imperial and I can think imperial better than metric. A lot of model engineering is imperial as a lot of designs are pretty old.
Hi, my friend , my name is Bin Wang ,i am a new sales of machine tool ,i want to learn more knowledge from internet and you ,looking for your reply ,thanks
@chuffernuts I am taking a cut about 0.030"roughing and .010" when I get close to size. Final was .0015 as shown. Red cutting oil is an unbranded one I picked up at a show. Rocol is good but expensive.
Put a long bar in the chuck and see if you can detect any movement when pushed at the end. If you have had a good finish though it suggests this is OK. Is the tool still sharp? Maybe recheck the gibs in case they have "settled down"
First a sharp tool. You can see i use Sumutomo indexable tips but a HS tool correctly sharpened is good. Are the lathe gibs strips adjusted properly, Cutting oil will improve the finish too.
I find also its important to match your feed rate with spindle speed. chips that come out in nice curls or strands is a good indicator on proper feed speeds.
so sad that myford went bankrupt... :( they made great lathes and machinery... i guess nothing can be made anywhere these days other than in taiwan/china... :\ you own a piece of history, keep that machine in shape, and thanks a ton for the great tutorial! :]
I show a bit of parting off in the video building the Essex Hot air engine part 10. I think the biggest mistake is to be too gentle. Use plenty of cutting oil for steel and keep a steady feed. Lock the saddle. Grind parting tool with clearance on the top.
It does look like its angled. It should be at right angles to the work. I expect the tool was not straight in the tool holder and I angled the toolpost to compensate.
Whenever I watch UA-cam turning I pick up a new tip. You might like to watch my playlist for my Boxford lathe, which is very similar to the Myford and South Bend lathes.
Hi,Sir,good day ,i have follow you ,my name is Bin Wang ,i am a new sales of machine tool ,and i want to learn more knowledge from you ,i am looking forward your reply ,thanks
great work. it looks like it has a really nice finish, as well. im working on an idler shaft in class, and i could really use a digital micrometer to make things easier, because it looked easier when you used on to measure your piece.
It could be several things. eg, Tool not sharp Tool not on center Topslide and/or carage gibs need adjusting Worn headstock. Check the above and see how you get on.
Excellent video. Clean video without a lot of the annoying "extras" people add trying to be "professional" and doing little more than wasting time. Keep up the good work.
Only a small boxford lathe or similar, coolant fed not needed as only small components made, but a small amount of oil keeps the tool in good cutting order. Lubricants are used solely to cool the tool being used and not to be confused with the quality and finish of the product.
5:52 ...Occasionally our machining instructor will show the new kids taking the quarter long classes a surprise demonstration of what happens when you leave a chuck key in the chuck and turn it on at 1600 rpms... Usually a funny sight, sometimes things get broken haha.
i have a question ... i know your from the UK so, why are you using the imperial system. I am an engineer myself, but only being 19 and too from the UK, i have always used the metric system. i have a friend at work who is older and he says that he has grown up using both! is this the same situation with you or .... i really enjoy your videos :D
Could the red lube be Marvel Mystery Oil ? It's sold here in the States ! Works great as an additive to fuel and to crankcase oil to breakdown sludge !
Kenneth I suggested exactly the same quite some time a go,,, the chap obviously has a lot of skills that could easily be passed on using something I think they call words,,, Yes the spoken word,,,, its supposed to be very good for communicating,, Im no engineer and im not that well spoken but in my videos I at least try to pass on some information. but this chap thinks its best to leave the viewer wanting information so they have to ask. hes happy with the feed back and its a free Country
How does one check the headstock for wear? I have gotten an excellent finish on black pipe a single time, and cannot replicate it. This was immediately after I took apart the entire cross slide / compound slide, cleaned it, re-oiled it, and adjusted the gibs to what I thought was tight enough, but with the cleaned assembly saw I could wiggle the whole tool post 2-3 thousands. It took tighter gibs than I thought to remove all of this play, but once I did, I got a great finish, that one time.
@doobydooby223 Tarnishing might be the sulfur, its especially hefty on copper alloys. Was reaming some uber tough bronze, guess Alumnium bronze or similar . Got a bit too hot (hss reamer is still fine, no damage done, was pretty dull to start with, thats what caused the overheatingm, is an old one). The heavy sulfurized oil with the heat gave the bronze an almost blued finish, looked nice actually....
I bought it at a model engineering show. It was unbranded in a plain bottle. I have seen the same trader since and they don't have anymore, which is a shame as it was cheap! Rocol RTD is similar but more expensive but that is what I have to use when this runs out which is pretty soon.
You do great work, how about a little narrative while you work. The occasional signs do provide some information, but the added verbal input would be great. Thanks.... Ken
I'm not very experienced yet with the lathe but I've only done work on my dad's machine with his supervision since I'm just now learning how to work and cut with the cutters and end stop piece. Did you learn how to use it or did you go to school for machining my dad did.
How do you set up the other side of the work in the chuck without marring it ? All my instructor told me was they used to used copper(?) wedges between the work and the jaws. lol
This looks like a lot of fun. Been thinking about getting a mini lathe to do some small projects. Learned a ton just by watching. Thanks.
I love stuff like this!
It's been so long I have forgotten nearly everything, but I do remember the instructor saying "DON'T remove cuttings with your bare hands, always use a rag", that's about it.

All my machining video feature the ML10, great lathe.
I have seen many of your videos and I appreciate your ingenuity and resourcefulness and you sharing it with us. Thank you :)
I never thought of using the Digital Calipers like that. It will make turning SO much easier for me :D Thank you so much!
well it took me a about 6 months to learn what you just showed me...thanks. I'm a slow learner but once i get it I got it.
That was a great Video and good practices for working on a Lathe. Back in 1973, my first job was in a Machine Shop.

This is really interesting to watch. I'm studying Mech Engineering in Surrey at the moment and I think it's incredible
I like the roof cam.
You seem to be able to get to the right size a lot easier than I can. :)
@viol999 You could do it that way if you chose. Its important though not to take the work out of the chuck and hold it by the larger dia. you have just turned as you would loose the concentic properties of the work.
one of the best lathe how to on here for beginners in my opionion
Ultimate video on turning. Very clear and focused video.
Great videos, Thank you, Just bought an ML10 & these are fantastic for learning before trying myself. Keep up the good work & thanks for sharing your knowledge & techniques. Deep respect from a total beginner.

Great video!
I learn something every time I watch one of your vids. I hope you continue to make many more. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Same here, just have to figure things out for myself. Cleaning up my new lathe today.
excellent, no-nonsense video. Thank you for making these.
Nice and simple--to the point. I learned a few things here.
Yes, the measuring tips were new to me. Set the calipers to the nominal measurement, zero the calipers, and work to null any difference as the part is machined. (I'm new to metal working on a lathe.)

Hi,Sir ,how are you doing ,My name is Miss Wang ,i am a new machine tool sales ,i want to learn knowledge from you ,thanks for your time ,looking forward your reply
Thanks for a VERY informative video - I learned several new techniques, that I plan
to implement on my ancient Dwight Slate lathe.
@doobydooby223 I know what you mean with the Rocol. The smoke makes the chuck rust. The red stuff is an unbranded one I picked up at a Model Engineering exhibitionit was very cheap and works well. Not as corrosive as the Rocol. I have an extractor fan above the lathe and switch it on when it smokes.

A lot of model engineering is imperial as a lot of designs are pretty old.
You can tell just by the way this man moves beside the lathe he’s a boss.

Nice video. Turing is first lathe operation I learned.
Put a long bar in the chuck and see if you can detect any movement when pushed at the end.

Thanks for uploading, love the simplicity
Finished part next to diagram. Superb work.
First a sharp tool. You can see i use Sumutomo indexable tips but a HS tool correctly sharpened is good. Are the lathe gibs strips adjusted properly, Cutting oil will improve the finish too.
It's a 4 way tool post. Holds 4 tools and can be indexed around.
I find also its important to match your feed rate with spindle speed.
chips that come out in nice curls or strands is a good indicator on proper feed speeds.
@johandelport Yes they are Sumitomo tips.
This helped me alot, thanks ! The centre lathe i use in college is like twice the size of this machine also.
so sad that myford went bankrupt... :( they made great lathes and machinery... i guess nothing can be made anywhere these days other than in taiwan/china... :\ you own a piece of history, keep that machine in shape, and thanks a ton for the great tutorial! :]
awesome video cheers myfordboy. i'm looking for a lathe myself. just the kind of thing i needed to watch.
Some great work boots you got there mate
The parting tool is in a home made holder but the turning tool is just held in the tool post.
I show a bit of parting off in the video building the Essex Hot air engine part 10.
I think the biggest mistake is to be too gentle. Use plenty of cutting oil for steel and keep a steady feed. Lock the saddle. Grind parting tool with clearance on the top.
Thanks, I just started class and your vid cleared up a lot
Great videos ... great man (teacher) ... thank you for all the videos you change with us ...
It does look like its angled. It should be at right angles to the work. I expect the tool was not straight in the tool holder and I angled the toolpost to compensate.
Seriously, thanks for putting these up.
@TheSuperFungus On my lathe you need to disconnect the auto feed manualy.
Thank you so much. This was just what I needed, no faffing about.
Excellent tutorial, I learnt a lot, thanks.
Wow that is a really nice lathe.
Gotta love the sound of a lathe...
Gorgeous! What a little beauty!

Seeing this makes me miss my old resistant materials class in secondary school
They were made from around 1968, not sure when production finished on this model.
5:52 ...Occasionally our machining instructor will show the new kids taking the quarter long classes a surprise demonstration of what happens when you leave a chuck key in the chuck and turn it on at 1600 rpms... Usually a funny sight, sometimes things get broken haha.
sure , but one of the tools at the beginnings is in a special adapter, and so does the parting tool at the end
It would make me nervous running the cutter that close to the chuck...lol.
Great measuring tips. Keep them coming pls. Are you using indexed cutters?
i have a question ...
i know your from the UK so, why are you using the imperial system. I am an engineer myself, but only being 19 and too from the UK, i have always used the metric system. i have a friend at work who is older and he says that he has grown up using both! is this the same situation with you or .... i really enjoy your videos :D

You can turn wood on a metalworking lathe but a proper wood lathe is better as you need a higher speed for wood.
@sojournearth Its some unbranded stuff I picked up at a show.

@serchmarc I have made them for model engines. One of my videos shows this.
日本で見てます、大変参考になりました
Love your videos bro< helps alot!

You don't use any cutting milk? Or some liquid to cool of the metal?
@doobydooby223

I use a neat cutting oil.
Simple and straight forward. Thanks!
Not used the idea of zeroing the scale before. Great idea. My concern is my verniers are not as good as yours and sometimes have a mind of there own !
Zeroing is the best function of electronic measuring tools, takes all the maths out..
Its a great idea and i will be using it tomorrow. thanks
use metric system and you'll be happy :)
II was just demontrating how a typical part is made. It is not for anything particular.
u went to a machine show THATS SOO COOL my i ask what the part does?? if nothing its still cool =3-
You disconnect the feed on auto or stop turning the leadscrew on manual.
So what stops the tools smashing into the chuck jaws on autofeed or manual.
Never would I ever step near ond of those wearing long sleeves.
Damn you must be amazing at your actual trade!
Good evening Myfordboy. I am a fan of your very instructive videos. What is the pink cutting fluid you're using and where can it be obtained?
I bought it at a model engineering show. It was unbranded in a plain bottle. I have seen the same trader since and they don't have anymore, which is a shame as it was cheap! Rocol RTD is similar but more expensive but that is what I have to use when this runs out which is pretty soon.
Great job, until the work cools down. Do you use coolant?
great work.I am a machinist from Nigeria. I like to do some teaching like this, how can i get through it?
What a nice lathe.
2018年も愛知県豊田市保見が丘から見てます
Beginners question...why not turn down to larger o.d. first and then the smaller?
what's that weird adapter on the tool post ? is it because the tool was too big ?
Love your lathe what make is it?
Ah, I see. The lathes I have used went up to 2500; but anywhere around the 800 mark seems to give the best finishing cut.
@jpheisz I thought someone would pick up on that!
You do great work, how about a little narrative while you work. The occasional signs do provide some information, but the added verbal input would be great.
Thanks....

Did you learn how to use it or did you go to school for machining my dad did.
Self taught from books. No youtube videos to watch 30 years ago.
myfordboy I made my first piece last night but I'm only slowly getting better at it
read the damn description
Get through it?
Very good input
How do you set up the other side of the work in the chuck without marring it ? All my instructor told me was they used to used copper(?) wedges between the work and the jaws. lol
You could wrap a small piece of drinks can around the work to protect it.
@@myfordboy ahhhhh, just some aluminum then. thanks!
bro show some videos about tips of facing and turning.
