Nice work Adam. Having the flexibility to do a project you're interested in makes it much more enjoyable. There are countless ways to approach machining a part. Lapping the back of the parted off ring was a neat way to finish the part. It's always funny to read the comments on why you chose to do things X or Y way, when there is no wrong way in YOUR shop. You have demonstrated mastery as a Machinist and the willingness to embrace new methodology countless times. I'm excited to see what's next. Cheers my friend
I second that! What's the point of having a chef if you're going to tell them how to cook everything and that they're doing it all wrong; the chef would be out the door saying I can't work under these conditions! Your dedication and generous spirit are admirable and fun to watch and I even learn stuff, sometimes nothing to do with machining... Having worked as a casting technician/jeweler I do relate to the things you do though and the ways you do them. I was very happy to see the 600 wet and dry paper come out to finish off the parted side, it's what a jeweler might have done (before buffing it to a mirror finish) :) All the best Abomb.
Nobody who hasn’t done it can appreciate the experience and reflexes it takes to single point thread at 620 rpm. A very small fraction of a second later with the half nuts and stuff breaks.
I have cut 11 1/2 threads and 2 1/2, the only company use 11 1/2 threads are power Co. And cable Co, Telephone Co. They use them on wooden poles only. 2 1/2 are used by Fire Department.
Another expert Abom repair done the best way possible no warping from welding up or anything - as good or better than new, love this old school Abom machine work - well done
Nice elegant solution to a problem.....good example of how you have to think through the machining steps so you don't make a straight forward job overly complicated.
You are a fine machinist. Your customers are fortunate in part because you are more interested in the outcome rather than how quickly you complete the job. Ray
Few things make me more satisfied than watching you craft these small gems. These may be insignificant parts, but the care you put into making them function as close-to-perfect items, teaches us a lesson about what matters in life : Things are only as goos as we're willing to make them. Thank you for sharing your immense skills and soothing demeanour. Your modesty belies the depth of a true master.
I just want to say what a fine job on rehabbing Rockwell band saw. I'm retired now, I was a machinist at one time 35yrs and all I did was rehab and make new parts on machines where parts weren't available. GREAT JOB
Thank you, Adam! Lots of threading tips in particular for this weekend workshopper! I still really like the pic of you, your Dad & Grandad at the end - beautiful heritage pic!
I really appreciate this video, especially the part where you alter your plan to take it out of the lathe, mill for the spanner wrench and then return to the lathe. Youve caused me to think more about the order of operations than I used to. Thanks!
I have been watching this channel since SNS 3. If I want CNC I watch the Edge Precision channel. But I much prefer the Manual Machining. Any time Adam posts a manual machining video I am on it immediately. I love these manual machining videos.
Nice work Adam. The run out on the part was excellent. Nice job indicating that in. Over thst many inches thats excellent. Thanks again for sharing. Take care, Ed.
Watching you do this, gives everyone a new perspective on how to look at a part and see how it was made and what it takes to make it. Skill of a brain 🧠surgeon, patience of your👵 grandma !!!! Well done, beautiful job. I enjoy watching your videos as much as you do making them !!!!! Thank you !!!!! 👍👍👍💯💯😀
I always like how you include the knucklehead consumers in the collective we...."we did a good job on our indicating" You did a good job we just get to watch and learn. Thanks for the content.
The rotation rate of the lead screw (which drives the position of the carriage which in turn holds the threading insert) is synchronized to the rotation of the spindle through the change gears (and/or gearbox) & the half nut. When the half nut is engaged at the correct position, the gearing ensures that the insert always lines up with the threads. It definitely helps to see a manual lathe & examine it in person. Move the spindle by hand, see how the carriage moves, etc. Figuring out how the half nut can engage in more than one position is particularly important for understanding!
Outstanding work Adam. It was simple enough job, but there were 100 different ways it could have gone sideways. In the end it looked as good as or better than a factory part.
I'm surprised the retaining nut was made from aluminium Adam. Would have thought it was originally made from a more durable material. I think I would have faced off the cast iron part after cutting the thread, as a reference surface for any future work. That said some fantastic machining Adam. Incredible attention to detail as usual. Love your videos. Cheers Nobby
Hello Mr. Adam, my name is Roberto from Portugal, I'm a silent spectator normally and I follow your videos since the first episode, I enjoy working and listing to your experience and expertise in metalworking, and I gotta say you're still the best machinist I see online, but I never heard you say, "This is the most difficult and challenging job I ever work" so I gotta ask what was it if you had one? For years always said everything in your hands seems so easy. Good job 👏
I don't know what Adam would say but I'm gonna bet it would be something along the lines of: Repairing something someone else had made serious mistakes with already. As an automotive technician of over 30 years, the difficult/complicated things to work on eventually became routine but the bad days or, headache-jobs were always the vehicles in my bay that someone else had "fixed". :))
I would say you are spot on Mr. Mark, I'm an active Navy Sargent for the last 23 years, my specialty is naval construction electrician or tactical technician ( more fancy name) and my job is to repair what others unrepair or broken. I know what you min by that statement. And yes I agreed that's the answer Mr. Adam would say.
I am surprised that the cast iron threads wore out before the aluminum threads did. Maybe the aluminum retainer was newish...? Regardless, another very informative and entertaining video.
Adam is to Manual Lathe as Peter (Edge Precision) is to Mazak Lathe - both Masters. It sure would be great to have you both sit down and swap a tale or two.
its good to see you got into internal thread ball park size and then checked the fit with the part that screws in....i do that but thought i was being an amateur.....pro tip.

Thanks Derek! I appreciate how supportive you are to this machining community! 👍🏻

Hell yeah!! Two videos in one day

... this is the stuff what we love Adam! ...
Happy days 2 traditional machining videos in one day, it's like having a double SNS 😁, Hi to everyone watching from Lincolnshire UK 🇬🇧
Another expert Abom repair done the best way possible no warping from welding up or anything - as good or better than new, love this old school Abom machine work - well done
Perfect timing. I just watched part one and then part two popped up. Happy days, James UK
Agreed. Same here. Just saw pt 1
HOO-RAY.
Much prefer the old school machining to the CNC operations.
do be quiet
@@stimpy1 .
Nice elegant solution to a problem.....good example of how you have to think through the machining steps so you don't make a straight forward job overly complicated.
I am so glad you posted part two so soon, I loved this project. NICE JOB Adam.
It's all about precision, and patience. And that's what you have. That's your driving force to become who you are.
You are a fine machinist. Your customers are fortunate in part because you are more interested in the outcome rather than how quickly you complete the job. Ray

thanks for posting parts 1 and 2 so close together
Thank you, Adam! Lots of threading tips in particular for this weekend workshopper! I still really like the pic of you, your Dad & Grandad at the end - beautiful heritage pic!
Another awesome video to watch and relax to, nothing beats the Lathe to sooth nerves after a long day of work!
I really appreciate this video, especially the part where you alter your plan to take it out of the lathe, mill for the spanner wrench and then return to the lathe. Youve caused me to think more about the order of operations than I used to. Thanks!
Thanks Adam beautiful job, this repair is better than the original factory work.
Man like you AdamAre a dying breed learning the skills from your father and your grandfather thank you so much for your education purposes
That will be about $$$ mister. Love that you are restoring well made USA machines to serve the industry
Adam, haven't seen you in awhile. I can tell you have reduced, you are looking great. Your work is top notch!
Awesome job as always Adam, your attention to detail is second to non when you do your manual lathe work 🍻
Always enjoy it when you do a manual job!
A nice satisfying job. Thanks Adam.

Very nice. Thank you for up loading part 2 same day. I enjoy seeing these kind of repairs
I could watch Adam do manual machining all day long.
Nice work Adam.
The run out on the part was excellent.
Nice job indicating that in.
Over thst many inches thats excellent.
Thanks again for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
Anyone would be pleased with that
Fantastic, 2 videos on the same day.
A jolly good show, I especially liked it when the lube started to work on the large bore. Thanks!

Great repair Adam👍
I really like watching the manual machining! The videos are so instructive and entertaining!
I always like how you include the knucklehead consumers in the collective we...."we did a good job on our indicating" You did a good job we just get to watch and learn. Thanks for the content.
UA-camrs that say "we" when there's only one of them. It's annoying, but several do it
Nice work on the threading as always Adam.
Adam, the common sense machinist.
Super nice job, Adam!
Great work as usual. Always love watching your machining. I learn a ton.
Sweet 2 videos in one day. Turned out great Adam, thank you for uploading!!! 👍👍
Very well done beautiful piece of work Adam. Enjoyed Video
You're so freaking talented dude
It was nice to see that you making good use of Cryin Steve Collun’s tears to produce these most excellent surface finishes.
🤣
Steve living in your head rent free...
Beautiful job man. Enjoyed these videos a lot.
My brother you are awesome good job thank you for the video
You know, you really are good at this stuff. I like that so much of what you know is things you've figured out for yourself.
Thanks Adam! Good stuff as usual!
Outstanding video. More of this, please. Less of boring CNC, please.
You have taken everything into account, respect to you.
great video and I love watching you use the manual machines
You give me tool envy
Thanks for the show Adam
Adam, you're a wizard
Enjoyed video. Lots of hints and techniques shared. Thank you.
I always learn something from your videos. Its always nice too when I think I bet Adam is going to it like this, then you do. You’ve taught us well.
Adam, You are much more skilled than you realize. Awesome video .!!!
It still amazes me how the machine catches the thread perfectly every time. I just can't make sense of it in my head.
The rotation rate of the lead screw (which drives the position of the carriage which in turn holds the threading insert) is synchronized to the rotation of the spindle through the change gears (and/or gearbox) & the half nut. When the half nut is engaged at the correct position, the gearing ensures that the insert always lines up with the threads.
It definitely helps to see a manual lathe & examine it in person. Move the spindle by hand, see how the carriage moves, etc. Figuring out how the half nut can engage in more than one position is particularly important for understanding!
Impressive as always!
Very well done
Outstanding work Adam. It was simple enough job, but there were 100 different ways it could have gone sideways. In the end it looked as good as or better than a factory part.
Good work and video 👍
Nice job! Knowledge is power in repairing...you learned from a great teacher ❤️👍
It doesn't get any better than that.
Great work, as always
G'day Adam. Excellent job on the machining & threading the Alloy bar. Most of all it fitted really well.
Great Video
You are a freaking master of the craft Adam!
Bloody good Finish 😁
EXCELLENT.....Thanks Adam......
Shoe🇺🇸
Great job, love manual machining. Thanks Adam!
Thats a great looking repair. You sir have MAD lapping skills!😂
Thanks for the education
Another great job Adam!
Love it when you go old school on a project. Not into CNC as am too old to start a job shop.
Agreed, I don't mine seeing a little of the cnc, but the manual stuff is more relatable to hobby machinists.
Once again, precision machine work and Excellent commentary and camera work!
Good job great filming. Thanks
Love the Sunday morning abom.
Awesome job Adam!
Nice job. Greetings from Germany.
great teaching
Love the repairwork.
Nice little job and you made it look easy as always thanks Adam
I can smell that tap magic from here lol. Awesome stuff but the smell of the aluminum formula stays with you all day.
Another great job Adam.
Steve.
Good job Adam
Great link Adam .. Thanks
That has to be a prototype Edge Technology Tool,there is nothing like that on their website.They make some great stuff,use it everyday at work.
Looks perfect
Very nice Adam
