Agreed. Though, It does bring a weird internal conflict because I really don’t like the original compound slide on my lathe. That was a lot of chatter before the solid tool post.
I'm sure you just want to keep strong but man, I highly recommend a basic bandsaw.....got entry level one from total tools (more hp than h&f version) and I'm still on the original blade after cutting quite a few round and square solids. Saves my middle age shoulders big time! Great informative vids, Thanks so much mate!
Nice technique setting up for the taper. I made an attachment that goes on the tail stock to offset the center and that works well although you have to turn between centers.
We had that big attachment for threading in one shop I had worked in with the moris taper #2 now I can make it for myself. I have yet to see anything you made that is not useful and your explanation help make it easy, and I just saying thank you for an easy explanation something missing in some other vides out their.
Always a pleasure to watch your videoe,s, well presented and narrated and gives me some ideas for some additions for my Colchester Student, Regards Doc Cox.
I love watching these "need a tool make a tool" videos for making necessary additions on the cheap. I would say though that you might want to put 3 or 4 of those holds in the die holder because with only 1 hole, if you need to put in a lever for more torque, it's most likely going to be at an inaccessible angle. You might be fine with 2 holes 180° apart but if you're making it yourself anyway I would do at least 3
It's a great idea. It would definitely suit a bigger lathe, but it probably won't work on my little lathe since they'd probably end up hitting the cross slide. Cheera
Really enjoying your video content - interesting projects and excellent presentation. and by the way, I'm sure that there are lots of reasons for not owning a powered saw - low priority, not enough workshop space, actually enjoying using a hack saw!, even using the exercise as a substitute for joining a gym.
10:21 Excellent video. I'm so new at this hobby that I think buying a store bought one is better for now which I have done. It's very similar design but I was wondering how you are holding the stock stationary in the head chuck? I would think maybe leaving the chuck key in and rotating until it hits the bed will work but that's a general no-no and if so I would have to learn to go the extra mile and unplug the lathe first. What about taping a bit larger threads in much harder material, would it work the same way? Thank you.
The dividing head has a ring with holes behind the chuck. You can probably see it in some of the shots. There’s a pin that locates into the holes and that holds the chuck in place.
i moticed when machinging the MT you switched from the L sided cutter to the center cutter. what is the reason for that? I am curious as i have some tapers to cut myself in a couple of months,
Can you advise where you source your indexable lathe tools, the inserts and tools themselves? And what size are the tool shanks? I’m looking for some carbide for my atlas with an AXO tool holder. Thanks.
Hi. I found your channel tonight and have watched a few of your videos. Great content. I'm in Newcastle, NSW. Curious to know if you are located close to me. Love your work. Very thoughtful and enjoyable to watch.
Good Job... But why don`t you get yourself one of those portable Bandsaws to cut your Stock??? They are only about a hundred Bucks and worth every Penny! I`ve got me one from "Parkside" and I am totally happy with it.
If this had begun with images and an explanation of what you are building, maybe a few viewers would have been able to understand what you were doing. To make better videos here's the rule known by ALL Professional presenters: 1. Tell them what you are going to tell them. 2. Tell them. 3. Tell them what you told them. ALWAYS. In that order. Good luck.
Dude what up with you voice it's not a accent but it's hard to lisen to but I love your video's some youtubers intentionally mispronounce words to get comments if you don't reply il take it as that's what your doing and il unsubscribe
Using the 1-2-3 block to match the Morse taper is a super handy idea, I'll definitely be stealing that 😁
I thought the same...
So did I. So simple I can’t believe I didn’t think of it!
Me too
Agreed. Though, It does bring a weird internal conflict because I really don’t like the original compound slide on my lathe. That was a lot of chatter before the solid tool post.
I'll have to use this technique too!
"Avoids single point thread cutting at every turn." Lol. I see what you did there. :)
One of my favorite channels; right up there with This Old Tony.
i recomment blondihacks, same level of entertaining
I just want to say thank you for the extended hacksaw footage as an opener
Great trick for setting up the angle!!! Thanks!!!

Always proud to you my friend as machinist.
Nice work

Always impressed what can be done on these small lathes .

Love your channel all the way from south africa
I wald lave to make me some of the cool tooling u make but how can i get some plans

Good technique skill full
May I ask where you got the edge finder you used in the mill. I have bad eyesight and think this style might help me

Very nice!
Maybe a mechanical hacksaw project in your future? There are a number of designs - myfordboy for one.
Another great video. What size stock did you use to make this die holder? I love watching all your videos.
From memory it was 42mm stock for a 25mm die
nice work

ali express is your friend for this stuff. you'll wait a month for it but the range and prices are crazy
What oil do you use on the ways and for the oil ball points?
I use an iso 68 hydraulic oil
nice work. It looked like you changed back to a standard tool post for the heavy cuts on the steel?
Would be cool if you could design a simple reversible ratcheting mechanism for it with a handle for leverage
I always wonder which is faster in cutting blanks.
Hacksaw or the lathe.
Depends on how big your lathe is

That new insert looks pretty nice, it appears to have a more positive rake and leaves a nice finish, what is it?
Dcgt aluminium insert
I would make a decorative grove at the end of the knurling. With a sharp end of the knurling-area it looks more professional...
my thought too....
Not a bad suggestion
Good Job... But why don`t you get yourself one of those portable Bandsaws to cut your Stock??? They are only about a hundred Bucks and worth every Penny! I`ve got me one from "Parkside" and I am totally happy with it.
nice
build yourself a powered hacksaw!
It’s just not an Artisan Makes video until the hacksaw comes out.
0:37 это вместо фитнеса? :) Ленточная пила сильно облегчает жизнь.
please invest in a handheld bandsaw
absolutely....
Great video!
Can't believe you don't have a bandsaw, my dude.
Someone buy this man a portaban
Get a band saw!

You should really invest in a metal cutting band saw
Bro…you REALLY need a band saw to cut that stock.
Buy yourself a band saw from hare and forbes as you are wasting you time mate 🤔
dont cut stock by hand!
Or what? I think he gets to decide what his priorities are and what he needs to spend his money on. Not some noddies in the peanut gallery
