You should have breathed in all that iron dust. You need iron in your blood to make it work properly! I didn't know that different pulley diameters had different flank angles. So I've learned something today. 👍
Gday Chris, those pulleys turned out bloody awesome, I always thought that the angle of the vee was the same on all size pulleys but there not, ya learn something everyday, cast iron is shit to clean up, it gets everywhere, awesome job mate, Cheers Matty
Hey man, that pulley - well, both pulleys - came out awesome! I am too lazy to have redone the pulley, probably would have gone 5/16" or thread coiled the set screw, but you're right in that the square head set screw fits the machine motif better. Had to laugh when you consulted the tome of dark machining knowledge, was waiting for the "Klatu verata nict(cough cough cough . . . ." but you were close enough :P
Thanks man 😊. Oh I had both pulleys made before any drilling or tapping occurred. I actually have some 5/16 square head set screws and may just upsize them a bit when I get a better tap lol. Also, still haven't found my Necronomicon 😐... Cheers! 😁
Nicely made. You might consider several tapped holes in the face of the pulley so that if it gets stuck on the shaft you have a way to pull it off without breaking like the original one did. Cheers from NC/USA
Well that is the true definition of manual machining!!!! 😏😏😋 I guess you were pulleying my leg!! 🤣 But all kidding aside, you need to make sure you clean your lathe well. Cast iron is an abrasive and will eat your ways up. Nice seeing you again. By the way now we are getting snowed in as well. Ciao
Ductile iron won’t hurt anything, it’s all softer than your ways. Gray cast Iron is a different story. The graphite in the ductile is a lubricant. I’ve cut tons of it, the lathe ways are all fine. Sanding on a lathe is the only time I take care. Good project.
@@PhaseConverterampV thanks man! Yeah I figured there was something contradictory about that lol. Sure is nice stuff to work with once you get past the dust 😊. Thanks again man! Cheers!
Great pulleys man, ran into sloppy threads on cast too, we went to one size smaller drill bit and it tightened up the threads considerably more, but hind sight is 20/20, pop you a dab of green locktight on set screw just be safe, thats pretty good chunk of metal 😁 thanks again for the great content sir!
Yeah, idk what's up with that. Maybe I'll try a form tap next time. If it comes down to it, making a slightly oversized screw ain't too difficult 😊. Cheers!
That turned out damn nice 2x.👍👍 Don't forget the rust inhibitor, especially on the bore. Kinda sux about the set screw, but you need some sort of thread locker on those threads anyway so... not a problem. Maybe tin the threads of the set screw with solder to add a few thou. (just a crazy thought). .... Turning the chuck AND feed screw by hand.... hey, whatever it takes. Guess you didn't get the memo. His name is spelled Kurtis but it's pronounced Carl. 🤣🤣
Thanks man 😁. Tin the screw? Never would have thought of that. Can't hurt to try 😊. Hand turning worked great. Once I cleared the corner I fed it out under power though 😏.
Make every effort to cut below the hard scale on that first cut, your tool with thank you, and slow is good, and that's just how I deal with form tool chatter on my 1917 hardinge lathe
Good tip! Not sure my lathe could have done that big a pass right off the jump... maybe, I just really don't wanna break it... again 🤣. One of these days I'll upgrade but I don't think I'll ever get rid of Lenore 😊. Cheers!
Thanks, Rusty 😊. Totally worth the mess. I really don't mind cleaning my lathe anyways. I could spend most of the day doing it and it wouldn't feel like a wasted day 😁. Cheers!
Great job Chris, you are a testament to perseverance , and I am really impressed at your finessing the finish. Congratulations on the increase in subs, you are an entertaining you-tuber if I say so my self. In case you haven't seen already, check out Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering for some really innovative work mounting in the lathe. Enjoyed the project very much, cheers and peace out to you too!
I think Murphy lives in all shops, especially mine. So I prefer to no longer assume anything. If it can it will. Take 3 has made many good You Tube machinist. So actually I'm here to see and bear witness to disaster. It's like being in a fraternity of inexperience and stupidity charging forward. As my brother once said to me regarding racing, I don't want to see anybody get hurt, but if they do I don't want to miss it. CHARGE da dote da doooooo !!!!!!!!!! Damn it came out very nice. Ahhh maybe next time.
What is the name of the Rubberized Abrasive? It looked like it really worked great. I have seen it used on Aluminum before with great results, but never knew what it was called to buy some. Great Videos 👍 I’m really enjoying them.
Thanks man 😊! Some call them cratex sticks but that could be just a brand name. I order most of my supplies from KBC Tools, you can find them there and in multiple grits 😁. Thanks again, Joey! Cheers!
Very good job good sir my lathe has had some odd ball 2” pulley on it from day one since I’ve had it so I’ve never had the high speed option but idk that’d I’d use it anyway how often do any of you guys use the larger side of these pulleys
Thanks man! I'd definitely use it for small diameter parts and small endmills with the milling attachment. Probably not until I rebuild that counter shaft though 😊. Cheers!
I rebuilt mine but changed the way they got the grease instead of the bored hole with grease cups I drilled and tapped the bushing holder things whatever their called for a zirk and just put a small spiral groove down the shaft where they ride my original was missing the key for the keyway and they had basically destroyed both the shaft and the pulley I was able to save the pulley pretty simply by boring it slightly but the shaft was shot so I bought some 1” 1018 and made me one wasn’t much to it really once I decide to change the way it got lubed
@@jeremycable51 "bored hole with grease cups" replaced with a zerk?? Don't take this wrong, but are you sure that those weren't oil cups that you replaced? Maybe should have had a felt wick in the oil cup to keep the oil from running straight through onto the floor.
@@Warped65er indeed the counter shaft does have little cups on the ends. You fill them with grease and give them a turn to push grease through to the bearings 😊.
Do you have a brother who has a UA-cam channel called "Flour Gold Wizards" ? You both sound similar, with similar speech patterns and expressions. Just curious.

Neither did I lol. It was just a hunch really but glad I checked 😊.

@@Just1GuyMetalworks Thank you for sharing your talent, time and effort!
Glad to see you made it out of hibernation. And didn't freeze to death. Lol. Just my way of saying miss you...

Thanks, Matty! Yeah, that dust is really something else but super easy to machine 😁. Indeed, I really should break out that book more often 😊. Cheers!
Man, those pulleys really look nice. Haven't tried making my own yet, but I feel confident I could turn one after watching your video!
Go for it man! 😁 Cheers!

Hello Chris,
Really nice work... You must be very pleased with the completed pulley wheel(s)...
Take care.
Paul,,
Thanks, Paul 😁. It was totally worth the effort imho. Cheers! 😊
Hi Chris, thank's for another great video, I learnt so much and enjoyed every minute.
Glyn in England.
Right on man! Cheers! 😁
Nicely made. You might consider several tapped holes in the face of the pulley so that if it gets stuck on the shaft you have a way to pull it off without breaking like the original one did.
Cheers from NC/USA
Nah, I've since made a simple attachment that grabs the back pulley for the puller to hook up to. Plus this ones a lot beefier 😁.
Cheers!
That's a treat for the lathe, all that hand work. LoL, great looking pullie that will last three life times. Great job.
Thanks man, I certainly hope so 😊. Cheers!

Job well done on making the pulley.
Cheers

Thanks, Peter 😁. Cheers!
the inside edge of the smaller pulleys is always the tricky bit, but looks like you nailed it.
Thanks, Dawg! 😊 It's a good thing I hung onto that lantern tool post. It comes in pretty handy 😁.
Cheers!
Nicely machined, filmed and edited, enjoyed. Cheers.
Thanks, Paul 😊. Cheers!
Nice work. We posted this video in our homemade tools forum this week :)
👍😊👍
Nice job man. Dusty, chippy, chattery...and it works...all the good stuff.
Thanks, Eddie 😁. It was a fun project and worth the effort in the end. Cheers!

I made mine out of aluminum.......thats ALOT of work in ductile iron. Nice job sir.😎😎
Thanks, Tim 😁!
Best thing about cast iron, no cutting fluid! Nice job
Yeah, it's real nice to machine once you get over how dirty it is 🤣
Great video, good work! Enjoyed watching, thanks.

You do some really nice work sir. Don't give up on it
Thanks, don't plan on it 😁. Cheers!
The Pulley turned out Great. I’m just gonna cross my fingers I don’t have to make one 👍
Thanks, Joey! Well, I do have one up for sale 😉. The ductile iron was actually quite nice to machine once you get past the mess 😊. Cheers!
Cast iron is fun to machine but indeed it makes a terrible mess.
Nice work Chris.

Nice job....sure turned out great! Irony it takes a lathe to fix a lathe...
Thanks! What's also ironic is I thought it would be hard to do but it worked out great. Whenever I say "should be easy", it never is! 🤣 Cheers!
nice work man

Yay!

You could have just welded up the old one son you are for Saskatchewan
Tried that. That's why it looks so... funny 🤣.
What size is the two -step pulley
I believe one is 2" and the other 4.5"

Nope 😊
