21:03 I noticed you were cutting thread w/out relief before your explanation. I really have so much to say, but I'm going to try & keep it short. Often I have said my tools (under 30 pounds), as a semi retired carpenter, are are worth their weight in gold. In this video, when I saw your arm near the chuck, I realized how big that lathe really is. If you get that lathe dialed into original specifications, it will be worth it's weight in gold as well. As a long time viewer of yours, I want to say, I love your channel. I have been wanting a lathe & milling machine for a long time. These days my wants are many, but my dollars are few. But I still love watching you. ha ha, see how that last part rhymed. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your getting better and better at your presentations, it takes time to find your groove, and then the real you will start to come though, and that is what is important is the real you not someone you think you should be, that never ever comes across as genuine.
Great tip on truing the lathe to the shaft. That 80mm pitch would be useful for a multi start thread requirement where you need the mating pieces to move fast, but still have strength.
Hi Max, Always good to watch a trained machinist do his job. I am sure a lot of viewers will learn from you. Other youtubers making this sort of video could give viewers the wrong idea of machining as they stray from the correct methods. Cheers Ian
Unfortunately, I didn't get an apprenticeship as a journeyman carpenter, but I once had business in a welding shop. There I saw a table laid out as a jig fixture. After that I used the jig concept many times. I asked my brother to weld bugler bars for my home. When I asked him what he thought about my design, he said "I'm more impressed with this jig than anything else". Even High School dropouts can think. PS : In no way am I downing anyone that went to collage. I absolutely respect higher education, even though I didn't get any.
Looks good Max. For a minute there I thought David Wilkes had posted a new video, what with the chuck to tailstock turning. I've had the same chatter issue as you and followed the standard advice to drop rpm, increase feed rate to no avail. Then went the opposite way and increased the rpm which fixed the problem, proving once again that in machining the sage advice works, until it doesn't. Ken
G'day Max. Thread turned out well still waiting for it to be screwed into the chuck for fitment. Overall shaft looks good & shiny. Will wait for the next segment. Well done
No expert here but it looks like that bed might need a good leveling job at the joins. Of course the ways need their bit of loving but the level bed might help with the ballooning issues. for that small crucial stuff you're trying to do before getting into those ways. You know best.
Good job mate. I had a job a bit like that years ago I roughed it all out in a 3 jaw-chuck and then finished between centers but it takes longer but the job is nice and concentric
Hi Max from wet and windy Tasmania. just a thought while watching you struggle with the chatter issue. If you run the following steady, do you run your fingers on the smaller machined surface or on the oversize surface: EG before the cutter or just after the cutter??? . it is something I think about often watching UA-camrs struggle with the same problem and not having a following steady to use.
Hi Max, our forefathers would have turned it between centres, alleviates any distortion and the chuck problem. Switching to a HSS tool might have solved the vibration problem on the large lathe. I could not thread up to a shoulder on a 80mm pitch thread even disengaging the half nuts, would need super human reflexes unless the speed was so slow to compromise finish
Nice work Max, Hi from over the ditch! What material are you cutting there? I need to make an arbor for a spindle moulder soon and am looking for a suitable material that will cut nicely.
Max if someone is looking at a man's clothes, they are not looking at the man. It matters not at all to me what you wear or how long you have been wearing them. I'm here for the knowledge and character. Some creators wear the same shirts so the video does not look like it was made on different days and that is fine for video production but there are also some that I have watched that are as phony as a $3dollar bill. You can tell when they know the camera is on them because they put on the FAKE smile for the camera. This is what I mean about character. I judge you as a man that has Good Character. And to me that is worth a hell of a lot more than how someone looks. The older I get the more of my teeth fall out or break off but that does not change my character at all. I am the same. Thanks for keeping your videos real.
Joe Pie always recommends thread cutting from the headstock out, with inverted tool. I'd be interested in your take on that. I have a dual metric imperial Harrison, which has an imperial leadscrew. Since I largely turn metric threads, finding ways round not being able to disengage the leadscrew is also always of interest.
Hi Max looks like the big lathe did not perform to bad. question why some times do you plunge straight in when cutting threads have seen that before, but do not know why. Thanks Cheers
Hi Max, As you say each to his own. I would have done it slightly differently ,I would have machined it between centres. That way you know all your diameters are true to each other and it doesn't matter which lathe you are using. I just clamp the driving dog to a chuck jaw to prevent slippage when screw cutting. But as you say there's more than one way to skin a cat. Best wishes, Mal.
Machinists avoid between centres, ref can only take lighter depth of cuts, so don't make much money, obviously if tolerances demand it, then it is done.
I have been machining parts for over 40 years, and machinists don't avoid anything, they employ the setup required for any particular circumstances. I didn't want to get into too much detail on Max's post, but you only finish the part between centres, the part is roughed out in a chuck.@@bostedtap8399
Max, thanks for the video. You are one of the best machinists on YT (in my humble opinion of a mere 50+ years machining) but, I regret to say, meaning no offence, that you are not the best camera man on YT. Many shots out of focus - you can't rely on autofocus, it will let you down! I mean this in the most constructive way possible - there are some good videos on how to set up your camera on YT. Thanks for all the effort you put into making and editing! I do appreciate it.
Hey , Thanks . The Go pro is no good up close & thinking about making a holder to use my phone as it takes good video . Need to dig out my external mic as well . 👍

Thanks . Yes , it's a good size lathe that one . One day i will hopefully get it all sorted out . Cheers 👍

Lol . Yes , don't fake it . 👍
A lot of good info, on what initially seemed like a simple project.
Cheers Rob . 👍
Gday Max, the shaft came out nice.
Thanks for sharing the process.
Have a great day.
No worries . Cheers 👍
No worries about the clothing Max. I wash mine once a year whether it needs it or not. Cheers and thanks for the video. The shop looks fantastic.
Lol , i could always turn them inside out !!! 👍
Coolant is a great waterproofing for clothes.
Excellent video max, keep'um coming.
Thanks Mate 👍
Great to see some homemade tools working well Max.
Nicely done, thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍
I really appreciate that you don't take yourself too seriously. Cheers and Thanks
No worries , serious is too hard every day ! 👍
Enjoyed the commentary and tips along with the machining Max. Cheers Tony
Thanks 👍
Happy days Max, g'day mate, thoroughly enjoying this 😂 random is fine by me
As you know , things just happen that way sometimes ! 👍
Thanks always interesting content the workshop is looking fantastic
Cheers 👍
Glad you are getting chips on your new floor finally. 😀
Will have to make some duck boards for that one ! 👍
Thanks for a nice fundamental turning job! 👍
No worries 👍

Also for grease grooves . 👍
Good job Max keep up
Thanks 👍
Another awesome video young max.
From kiwi land.
Cheers 👍
Max what a beautiful and professional set of Prints or drawings that you made for that job, that make all the difference.
Thanks . I used to do a lot of it in my younger days . 👍
very good job max
Cheers 👍
Bloody awesome job mate thanks!!
No worries 👍
Love your work Max...
Cheers 👍

Great point
There is nothing like the tools and jigs we made during the apprenticeship.
Unfortunately, I didn't get an apprenticeship as a journeyman carpenter, but I once had business in a welding shop. There I saw a table laid out as a jig fixture. After that I used the jig concept many times.
I asked my brother to weld bugler bars for my home. When I asked him what he thought about my design, he said "I'm more impressed with this jig than anything else".

Thanks . Lol . As you know , we have a good stash of tricks still up our sleeve . 👍
Learned a ton from you, many thanks!
No worries 👍
Thanks for explaining the machining order, I was confused thinking there was something I had missed!
No worries 👍
At some point could you or would you be willing to go through the process of how you set up your lathe for treading,
Many thanks.
Ok 👍
Thx for the vid.
No worries 👍
Well done mate
Thanks 👍
G'day Max. Thread turned out well still waiting for it to be screwed into the chuck for fitment.
Overall shaft looks good & shiny. Will wait for the next segment.
Well done
Did that 1/2 way through ! 👍
Have you any idea how many tricks you pass along each video?😊
Just the odd one or two sometimes ! 👍

Lol , it needs more than a bit of leveling !!! It is just sitting on timbers at the moment , still have to make steel feet for it . 👍
Thanks Max for all the tips. Beautiful work 👍😎👍
No worries 👍
Good job mate. I had a job a bit like that years ago I roughed it all out in a 3 jaw-chuck and then finished between centers but it takes longer but the job is nice and concentric
Thanks . Yes , there are a few options around for a similar result . 👍

I hate turning between centres , has it's own set of issues ! Ok for certain jobs . 👍
Hi Max, wood lathes becoming popular, Adam Booth Abom 79 making a spindle on YT.
@@willemvantsant5105 That's what happens when you set the trend !!!
Nice work Max, Hi from over the ditch! What material are you cutting there? I need to make an arbor for a spindle moulder soon and am looking for a suitable material that will cut nicely.
Pretty sure it was EN25 . A step above 4140 . 👍
Thanks max
No worries 👍
Muy bien amigo quedó muy buena esa pieza 👍
Thanks 👍

Lol, 80mm is a very nice pitch to make augers :)
Lol , would be ! Great for grease grooves . 👍
good to see the lathe in action Max!! nice thread. what does the S stand for on the tool holder you made?? cheers
Thanks . Stands for my first initial , Steve . Max is a nick name i have had since i was 18 !
Can confirm Maxy only has these clothes to wear. 🤣
Lol 👍
Great. Please consider not speeding up some of your thread-cutting. Seeing the speed you do things is helpful, along with telling us your RPM in use.
No worries . I will try & remember to show a bit more . I might do a threading video , someone asked the other day . 👍
Joe Pie always recommends thread cutting from the headstock out, with inverted tool. I'd be interested in your take on that. I have a dual metric imperial Harrison, which has an imperial leadscrew. Since I largely turn metric threads, finding ways round not being able to disengage the leadscrew is also always of interest.
@@RicktheRecorder There are good reasons not to thread back to front . I will have to do a video on it soon ! 👍
Hi Max looks like the big lathe did not perform to bad. question why some times do you plunge straight in when cutting threads have seen that before, but do not know why. Thanks Cheers
Plunging in is an easier method , less to set up . But i generally only do it on smaller threads . 👍
Thanks Max for explaining that, keep up the great work. Cheers@@swanvalleymachineshop

Gday Max, the thread turned out nice, you’d definitely want the lathe in bog cog to cut the 80mm pitch thread, great job as always mate, cheers
Lol , i think we will save that one for grease grooves ! 👍
Great job! Your machine intuition is amazing, at least to me. Looking forward to continuation of this project.Enjoyed!
