Instagram: mr_crispin In this video I machine a clamping sleeve to hold an automatic die head on a Myford Tailstock. The machines used are a Harrison 190 and a Deckel FP1.
Greetings from Austin Texas USA Crispin. Thanks for the mention and nice job on the adapter. Before I go, I have to say you must have a guardian angel to get so lucky to have the die head and tailstock be so close in diameter. Check that off the list. It will never happen again. Stay well.
Thanks Joe. That is a very handy technique you showed the the overcoming of chatter. Very handy for all those with bench top machines as well as chatter is a common issue. Cheers.
I like this channel! Been having a binge. Quite a project getting the shop set up, all right. The background music is really good, although quite horrible - but my ears aren't broken half a second after it starts - 10 points!! When I found this vid my thought was how come this old coot hasn't got grey hair like me? Turns out he's not old like me. BUT! You've got the dust coat and the hat, do your top button up, get a tie, get a scribe and a ruler for your top pocket, and lastly a clipboard with the day's project on it. For such a young old coot you make nice stuff! I'm subbing.
the phasing of the lathe chuck with the lights and/or the camera shutter is fantastically cool! the proof is not in the pudding, the proof OF the pudding is in THE EATING (i know this because i eat pudding!). excellent video - thank you!
Thank you Crispin for a very interesting video. The clamp looked to be well thought out and expertly made, despite the issue with your chuck. Hope it’s relatively easy to resolve. 👏👏👍😀
Great video, Crispin! I always like to see when my favorite UA-cam machinists show their errors (it’s WHY they’re my favorites). By all means, make sure to video how you fix the chuck issue, we’d love to see it. The mustache bit was great, but please: if you are at any time planning to undergo a circumcision, feel free to do that off-camera. 🤣
I guess we are all guilty of making tools for our tools so we can make tools, eventual outcome is a shop full of tools. Love it, can't have too many tools.
Wonderful to see someone use a spot drill for when a spot drill is suppose to be used. Most self proclaimed machinist tend to use a center drill for that.
Another Joe Pie tip is to use a scale across the face to set the parting tool which would remove any witness mark and check the blade is straight, I've seen a razor blade used also, not sure if that was him. ua-cam.com/video/5LtYzjR1JuM/v-deo.html
Very interesting, thanks Mr Crispin. I can see I am going to have to watch your entire back catalogue of videos. Loved the humourous bits as much as the informative bits. 😁👍
I enjoyed the detective work. You can only check so many things when you are overhauling. The rest reveal themselves and you just sort them out. I guess the level of checking and testing depends on what you working with and what level of disaster follows failure or how expensive.
As always first class sir , also must comment on the most excellent musical soundtrack … seems to machine so much better with this particular accompaniment ! Awaiting your three jaw Chuck solution as I have one here doing the same as yours ! Regards Partsmade
Hello Mr. Crispin, Enjoyable viewing, thank you. On the video about correcting the jaws it would be great if you could also include a small section on how to establish if you have the problem, that way us viewers can perform the check. Thank you in advance and see you on the next one. Take care. Paul,,
Butting here, in my case i had trouble parting in the 3 jaw but not the same job in the 4 jaw. "Thinks" thought I. Turned out the 3 jaw had bell mouth, an easy fix to bore using titanium carbide boring bar. Ps the chuck is a good oldcfashioned Pratt Burnerd and yes you can turn them, you dont need to grind.
What a well thought out approach that yielded a result that did not require altering either the tooling or the tool. Well done and keep up the good work!
Why do I have a lathe and a milling machine? My answer is that the lathe make parts for the milling and the mill makes parts for the lathe. 🤣 Drives the wife crazy!
Nice part. I had a chuck like that with "bell mouth" jaws. It's an easy fix if you have a toolpost grinder. But as the saying goes, you can't teach your granny how to lay eggs. Or something like that. 👍
Hi Crispin, nice design and well executed. Good detective work on the chuck grip, the joys of filming your own work, you get to retrospectively see stuff you would never notice in the heat of battle! Cheers, Jon
Morning Mr Crispin 🤠 from sunny Spain 🇪🇸 I do like watching your videos as they’re full of humour with some very good technical information and work thrown in 😆I’m no engineer but do like watching how things are made and problems solved 👍🏻
As you started machining, my mind was going through the ops. Right after facing, I said, "now center drill, bore, and insert center". I always do those ops first and use a center. Especially, when the stick-out is 3x the diameter.
Excellent, and very impressed by the choreography but why when you fed a sheet of Boccherini into the lathe did it play an Eric Coates composition? (I think it was Coates)
nice vid mrcrispin, 1 point to adress, i would made a key on the clamp for the tailstock, because the cuttingforces are very high and you would not want that clamp spinning on your tailstock spindel, that would be the end of your tailstock accuratie...
I thought the part moved before you locked the saddle, it appeared to jump a little giving the impression of loose headstock bearings. Nice to see the Myford getting some love... 👍👍👍
It is interesting that you have a lathe and milling machine to make parts for your lathe and milling machine. I just finished watching Rotary SMP's latest video, where he said he has a basement full of machine tools to make parts for his basement full of machine tools.
Isn't that why we're all in this hobby? "He who has the most unfinished projects when he died wins"! UFP's my wife called her needlework unfinished projects and boy did she leave a sewing room full. My shop will be just as bad.
If you cant see I'm raising my hand Mr. Crispin.... 1. Much better without the 1970s wife beater mustache LOL. 2. Please make a video on how you resolve the chuck problem. 3. how the heck do you only have 26k viewers come on people wake up and enjoy the desert humor its great......
Dear Mr Crispin, I'm working my way through your videos, and would like to say thank you for making such entertaining and educational content. Great job, very much appreciated. I found your interviews rather interesting.
[06/18/22] Why are you not showing the placement of the magnetic base(s) with dial indicators for monitoring of longitudinal placement of cutting tool, as well as depth of cut on radius of the grooves?
Hello Crispin. I need to make a similar sleeve for the exact same reason. Now that you've used it a bit, do you have any recommendations for changes to your design? Thanks, pal.
A neat recovery from potential disaster Mr C. Having watched the subsequent video where you used the sleeve and Coventry head would it make sense, since both the tailstock ram and the arbour of the head have a groove in them, to cut a corresponding keyway in the sleeve to prevent it from rotating on either shaft? On second thoughts maybe not having them firmly locked might provide a "break point" incase something jammed, up even unintentionally. Regards from Canada's banana belt. 🤞🤔🇬🇧🍌🇺🇦🕊️🇨🇦👍
Time was in short supply so I apologize for rushing through this video. I just wanted to comment that I really liked your setup on the milling machine. Whenever I see a horizontal from a time not so close to this I think I kinda what one myself. My age is such that I remember when this is what was the most common type on the floor and they are too this day extremely versatile and very capable machine tools. I like your shop thank you for taking the time creating the content. Bravo
I did like the stache and sorry to see it leave so abruptly. I have an Atlas 12 x 36 lathe with very little wear or use and it's chuck was terrible to use and material would tend to walk out of it. If you put in a longer shaft you could grab the end and move it back and forth a bit and I could slip a small feeler guage under one jaw. The slots the jaws went into were very tight and the jaws had matching numbers. The one jaw when you put a straight edge on it had a notable crown in the middle and would rock back and forth. Another jaw stuck out further than the other two as I put a boring bar inside and turned by hand it would touch with lots of space from the other jaws. The remaining jaw was sticking out more on one end than the other end. I made a holder for a dremel and opened the jaws and spun the chuck and ground the jaws. They were something to see after but made a world of difference. The chuck is made in England is very narrow and the material is held close to the spindle. I had taken the chuck apart and checked everything and all was good and seemed to have been built very well and everything was tight. I like the chuck and pleased with it now. The runout improved tremendously as well. Dale in Canada 🇨🇦
The better finish with the heavier cut is to do with heat, you can improve the surface finish on lighter cuts by increasing the surface speed if you have higher gears available.
Make a bed stop for the tailstock to come up against for repeat operations with a Coventry diehead... I have a lineshaft driven turret lathe amongst my collection of antique machine tools... Herbert No.4......an early one from around WW1 🇬🇧😐
"A cosmetic and geometric cleanup operation" My math teacher hinted at those kind of operations, without really clearing them up. And you just show how its done. I'm flabbergasted.
I had the same problem on my 10" p&b 3 jaw at work. I bought another as you know... its work. 🤣 Look forward to seeing your solution it might become more useful than a door stop!
I like that Mr C. I mounted my Geometric head on a taper shank, then drilled and taped a hole for a grub screw underneath and through the tale stock quill (where you cannot see it!) to lock the whole assembly in the quill to keep it from pulling out of the taper. It works.

“Why do I have a lathe and milling machine, so I can make parts for my lathe and milling machine”. Love it!
With a vice on the cross slide you would not need the mill.....
That's usually my asnwer to -particularlity to my wife - when she ask what do I do in my workshop.
Pretty much what I do, too.
Babies, pizza and deadpan ha-ha all pretty much depend on good delivery.

Even you watch Mr Crispin!
Jealousy will get you in the end Joe. Third logical extension of Murphy's law don't you think.

Loved the product placement on the bar stock!

Yes strange how the chuck has come out like that! It wasn't deliberate!
Blimey !
Love the music
- and the absence of some facial hair 🤣
Thank you Crispin for a very interesting video. The clamp looked to be well thought out and expertly made, despite the issue with your chuck. Hope it’s relatively easy to resolve. 👏👏👍😀

Very funny!
It was a moustache? All the time I thought it was a hamster! ;-). Thank you Mr. Crispin for another good and informative video.
Thanks Mr Crispin. Very enjoyable as usual. Please don’t keep us waiting too long for the next one!!
I guess we are all guilty of making tools for our tools so we can make tools, eventual outcome is a shop full of tools. Love it, can't have too many tools.
Fact of engineering life - the need to make the tool to make the fixture to hold the tool to make the part. We love it.
Wonderful to see someone use a spot drill for when a spot drill is suppose to be used.
Most self proclaimed machinist tend to use a center drill for that.

I'm looking forward to seeing you use the die head. I've always had an interest in those devices. Well done on the clamping fixture.

Is that the music played in the factory workshop of RR? Great!
That music is a bit too speedy for the RR factory!
Interesting little tool build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Many thanks for your support!
Lol , i have a Taylor chuck with the same shape jaws ! 👍
I regret to only give it 2 thumbs up an I am short 1 thumb. Great video as usual!
Thanks!
Chatter and jokes whats not to like . All ways good to see you Mr Crispin.
Always a pleasure and always instructive. Thank you kindly, from Germany.
Thanks
Why do I have a lathe and a milling machine? My answer is that the lathe make parts for the milling and the mill makes parts for the lathe.
🤣
Drives the wife crazy!
My first thought was that you would replace the tailstock quill with the stub of the die head!
Good idea, never thought of that!
Got to agree there, i wondered if he would but we would have missed the masterclass. 😀
Nice part.
I had a chuck like that with "bell mouth" jaws. It's an easy fix if you have a toolpost grinder. But as the saying goes, you can't teach your granny how to lay eggs. Or something like that. 👍
Hi Crispin, nice design and well executed. Good detective work on the chuck grip, the joys of filming your own work, you get to retrospectively see stuff you would never notice in the heat of battle! Cheers, Jon
Yes indeed. If there was no camera you would be left wondering! Cheers.
Morning Mr Crispin 🤠 from sunny Spain 🇪🇸 I do like watching your videos as they’re full of humour with some very good technical information and work thrown in 😆I’m no engineer but do like watching how things are made and problems solved 👍🏻
Thanks.
Blimey! I think you just took Doubleboost’s parting off crown 😮
Beast of a machine, love seeing someone use it with caution but…….with some INENT behind it too 👌🏼❣️
As you started machining, my mind was going through the ops. Right after facing, I said, "now center drill, bore, and insert center". I always do those ops first and use a center. Especially, when the stick-out is 3x the diameter.
Excellent, and very impressed by the choreography but why when you fed a sheet of Boccherini into the lathe did it play an Eric Coates composition? (I think it was Coates)
I think I preferred the 1970's Michael Palin/Monty Python look?
nice vid mrcrispin,
1 point to adress, i would made a key on the clamp for the tailstock, because the cuttingforces are very high and you would not want that clamp spinning on your tailstock spindel, that would be the end of your tailstock accuratie...
Always something to learn in your vids. Thank you Mr Crispin!
I wish you had a Bridgeport, I can find you one cheap in the USA maybe 1500 usd
Mr CRISPIN
Once again a great video....👍👍
Thanks
Noooo! 😭
Binged all the videos and now I have to wait for another one. 😢
Love the high level engineering mixed with the very dry, British, humor. 😃
Looks like a prop shaft coupler we use on drag boats. Awesome
Interesting video,. Have to be honest glad you've lost the Tash.
That's exactly why we have a lathe and a mill, and very occasionally we make something for the bike. :o)
Nothing better than designing a tool , making it and then finding that it actualy works
Excellent as usual Mr C.
Best wishes, Dean in Oxfordshire.
Thanks
No tailstock support?
Are you asking me?
What is needed now is a proper English mustache!
I desperately need a surface grinder, my mustache need's a trim
I generally touch off with a feeler gauge. You should try it.
Well done Monsieur C. enjoyed the video and looking forward to the chuck repair, cheers!
I thought the part moved before you locked the saddle, it appeared to jump a little giving the impression of loose headstock bearings.
Nice to see the Myford getting some love... 👍👍👍
Sid, that wasn't the Myford but his newly acquired Colchester student I believe. Same as Joe pie and TOT use if I'm not mistaken.
@@ronwilken5219 I know, he made the sleeve for the Myford tailstock.
Hello Crispin, how very helpful it is that the FP1 vertical head can be lifted off by arm power alone. Looking forward to the next.
Yes milling machines are normally a case of the bigger the better but the FP1 is very handy
At last! Where have you been hiding ?
BTW, that's one serious toolpost!
A much improved finish after the grinding operation and great to see some proper machines being used.
Great Video, some good machining but God I hate it when I see people running high speed on a lathe with scotch pads!!
Why?
@@MrCrispinEnterprises it's all fun and games till it grabs then shit hits the fan! 🤣
It is interesting that you have a lathe and milling machine to make parts for your lathe and milling machine.
I just finished watching Rotary SMP's latest video, where he said he has a basement full of machine tools to make parts for his basement full of machine tools.
Yes I think it's a sentiment that is quote common. I think I saw that line on a forum about 5 years ago.
Isn't that why we're all in this hobby? "He who has the most unfinished projects when he died wins"!
UFP's my wife called her needlework unfinished projects and boy did she leave a sewing room full. My shop will be just as bad.
hello from spain..good job
Thanks
Way overkill but a nice piece of work.
Love the moustache bit😂😂
I've been telling everyone that I lost it in a grinding accident and now they can can see how!
Hi Mr Crispin Nice work, I await the repair of the chuck.
Thanks.
Nice job Mr Chrispin.👍👍
Another great video, thanks!!!
That's a great little milling machine love it
I sure hope to see more content soon. It's been too long.
Thank you for the video 🇦🇺
Nice to see you back fella. 👍👍
If you cant see I'm raising my hand Mr. Crispin.... 1. Much better without the 1970s wife beater mustache LOL. 2. Please make a video on how you resolve the chuck problem. 3. how the heck do you only have 26k viewers come on people wake up and enjoy the desert humor its great......
Thanks
Dear Mr Crispin, I'm working my way through your videos, and would like to say thank you for making such entertaining and educational content. Great job, very much appreciated. I found your interviews rather interesting.
Great to have you watching!
I thought the caterpillar looked good on you.
Make Mr Crispin drawing pads.
[06/18/22] Why are you not showing the placement of the magnetic base(s) with dial indicators for monitoring of longitudinal placement of cutting tool, as well as depth of cut on radius of the grooves?
Because I'm using a digital readout
You are entering the relm of This Old Tony, entertainmentwise. My compliments. By the way: the proof is in the eating.
Thanks
Hello Crispin. I need to make a similar sleeve for the exact same reason. Now that you've used it a bit, do you have any recommendations for changes to your design? Thanks, pal.
No I think it was ok as is although the amount of length it takes up and clearance over the cross slide is worth considering for smaller machines.
A neat recovery from potential disaster Mr C.
Having watched the subsequent video where you used the sleeve and Coventry head would it make sense, since both the tailstock ram and the arbour of the head have a groove in them, to cut a corresponding keyway in the sleeve to prevent it from rotating on either shaft?
On second thoughts maybe not having them firmly locked might provide a "break point" incase something jammed, up even unintentionally.
Regards from Canada's banana belt. 🤞🤔🇬🇧🍌🇺🇦🕊️🇨🇦👍
Yes good idea, I just thought that if the forces got that high that I needed a keyway I'm probably overloading the Myford!
Very nice job, parting inserts can be neutral, left-hand or right-hand for those who weren't aware.
thanks for sharing.
Good point. This one looks like a neutral
Time was in short supply so I apologize for rushing through this video. I just wanted to comment that I really liked your setup on the milling machine.

Didn't know that! I'll have to do an experiment!
you wouldn't happen to know were to get a Arbor Support for a fp1 like yours?
I think eBay is about the best bet. Buying one in Germany and having it sent over is also an option as they have allot of Deckel stuff over there.
Its amazing how youtube keeps deleting my freaking comment!
This one has stayed!
Nice bit of plunge cutting there Mr Chrispin, surprise you didn't use a center.
I certainly would have done on the Myford!
Another great video 👍
Always interesting.
Make a bed stop for the tailstock to come up against for repeat operations with a Coventry diehead...
I have a lineshaft driven turret lathe amongst my collection of antique machine tools...
Herbert No.4......an early one from around WW1
🇬🇧😐
I am curious as to why you chose to use a collar as apposed to putting a taper onto the tapping head and mounting it into the taper of the tailstock?
The idea I think is that you leave the centre clear so that you don't limit the length of thread you can produce.
Glad the moe’s gone
Thanks for sharing !
Lovely beast of a lathe Mr. Crispin. Your surface grinder does a better job of shaving than I can do for myself. Take care and thanks for the video.
"A cosmetic and geometric cleanup operation"
My math teacher hinted at those kind of operations, without really clearing them up.
And you just show how its done.
I'm flabbergasted.
Well done, Mr Crispin.
Get a ceramic or CBN insert for your boring bar, and get those jaws back to like-new condition!
Great design on the coupler.
I had the same problem on my 10" p&b 3 jaw at work. I bought another as you know... its work. 🤣 Look forward to seeing your solution it might become more useful than a door stop!
I like that Mr C. I mounted my Geometric head on a taper shank, then drilled and taped a hole for a grub screw underneath and through the tale stock quill (where you cannot see it!) to lock the whole assembly in the quill to keep it from pulling out of the taper. It works.
Very entertaining again sorry you lost your moustache but it’ll grow back don’t worry
I'm looking forward to you fixing the 3 jaw.
I love the way your chuck looks on camera!,,even if it’s bell mouthed!
Why not make a morse taper adapter instead
Just to leave the centre clear so that you aren't limited on the length of thread you can cut.
The blades of the machine are not high quality, they leave a few mustaches
nice work
Yes verily interesting indeed. Thank you very much sir.
Thanks for sharing, you look ten years younger without the soup strainer,
