    Love working 4140. Very nice work Randy, a part like yours would not be cheap to buy or repair if you had to pay a machinist.
    Always nice when you can make the repair your self. I enjoy these somewhat complex jobs. If your anything like me you know that if you are going to mess up it will be on the last operation :-) That how it works for me anyway. Good video, Thanks for sharing. New lighting is amazing, the sooner the better. my shop is now totally different with new lights, I can film in most areas without extra light. Speaking of mics and sound yours sounds great. That is something I need .

    Just found your site and have subscribed. Great repair that will add years to your lathe. Sometimes you have to adapt and overcome. I have been doing aerospace machining for many years. Not bragging but I have made parts for most anything that flies. Once even made some parts for the space shuttle(or so we were told) from a govt. contractor we did a contract for. Really like your down to earth channel.

    Hot and cold, always finishes in a great match, even so they unseparable... lol
    4140 is a nice material to work with, fast advance and proper depth according to the inserts config on the nose... also a great finish as long as you get decent cuts... Also like to work with this material, now working on some 4340 HT it ups the challenge a bit as far as it's tougher to machine...
    Good work... ;)

    This is an older video and glad I found your channel! Been looking at getting my first lathe (first machine in general). Was hoping to get a good deal on a bridgeport but came across a Clausing 6913 14x40 for $2,000. Comes with few things and is single phase 220v.
    What do you consider fair value on these if in running order and decent shape but needs some tooling which I hear is hard to find? (I know it may be an impossible question to answer!)

      These are very solid machines, great for the home shop. Tooling is not a problem at all. Steady rest can be hard to find. One in good shape and ready to use can be worth $4000. Mine I would not let go for less than $3800. Since I rebuilt the drive system.

    Hi Randy its 2021 hope your feeling better . I,m just starting out i have found out 1018 is hard to get good finish got a bit of 1141 that turns good outer then 4140 alloys are good to turn for bolt and shafts.
    also that shaft turned out great .
    Thanks

    • @RRINTHESHOP

      Hi Randy thanks for answering my question I got a piece from b&b specialties they marked it 1141 I'll change it I'm guessing that 11 44 and 4140 is best to heat treat thanks

    • @RRINTHESHOP

      1018 you can not heat treat. For heat treatment it is all about carbon content. Choose material that will fit the use.

      Did some testing and yes a seriously better video and also audio with the stock mic. But having a $3,000 camera with a $500 lens on it in the shop probably isn't a real good idea. Also the camera records in mov format which CS4 won't import so I have to convert it first. Found out UA-cam likes 1280x720 format much better than what I've been uploading. So will try that on the next video.

    • @RRINTHESHOP
