Excellent video. Thank you. I will be doing the same for my lathe at some stage. I like your design.

Whats the name of that spray paint finish, it looks so good

Biggest downside of overcenter is that it has to go... over center to switch. I didn't think of it at first either but as soon as you did the thread I knew right away that it was the problem because This Old Tony taught me everything there is to know about overcenter. 😉

I stopped at 20sec (I will finish it) but you should've indexed from the cylinder bore (using shims under the base) before the first decking.

You could also just make a telescoping tool with two opposing cones that grip the bore at either end. That would mean a bit les contact surface for grip and that you wouldn't have full access to face the flanges, but it doesn't take much load to turn aluminum anyway.

OMG, every frikkin time the tap snaps off, it makes me want to jump out a window. And of course it seems to always happen on the last hole..

Good video. Enjoyed it. Props for showing your mistakes - sign of a good teacher. Sub'd.

What type of grinder are you using?

Hi, Fred Fowler here. Nice videos! I was the owner of Fowler Tools and I am happy to see you using some of our instruments like the NSK Mechanical digit mics and Bowers bore gages in your work. Quality work!

I do threads up to shoulders all the time and have found the easiest way is to use a left hand tool upside down and run in reverse. I set a carriage stop that I can return to on each pass. The depth of thread is easy to calculate and thus so is the depth. Of the clearance groove. The width of the groove is consistent based on the threading tool used. Since I’m not threading toward a shoulder or the chuck, the stress of the job is gone.

That wrinkle finish is so good!

You've machined a little human ! 🙃 👶

That's a lot too much rpm on reamer 🤦🏻‍♂️

AWESOME 💯💯💯

Hey, at least you're making custom fixtures for something you plan to do more than once...

The shaft hole needs to be bored, the reamer will follow the hole and drilling is not good enough.

Absolutely brilliant project, also all the little extra bits were superb. Really brilliant. Thank you

Nice work.

Nice effort but kinda a long way the wrong way. Use a geometric die head instead. Fast,and will get you closer to the shoulder.

Bravo!!

Fortunately in my shop we have a lathe wich stops going forward automatically as soon as it hits the carriage stop. Sorry for bad spelling I am Austrian and don’t know all those specific words in English 😂

Three things stand out about 4:36 #1 a loud noise. #2 change of insert was required. #3 Change of underwear highly recommended.

So many times when I watch TH-cam machining I cringe when forced to watch the makers power tapping with conventional taps, seeing you hand tapping with power taps was a nice balm on my soul.

This is something I have been going to make for my sheldon lathe for years you done a nice job and the results show it anyone can run a big lathe and take big cuts because they are so ridged with all the mass of cast iron but a 6mm cut on a mini lathe even though it was 12L14 is impressive my lath will not do it and it is larger than his taking the compound off and on when you need it isn't bad on a small lathe just a hassle but i do know from past experiences thatit is worth it from a retired machinist thanks for sharing

Thumbs up and comment after 3 minutes...man i love content like this❤😅 greetings from Germany

Might I ask what size lathe this is?

Was wondering if it could work on PC board material. If it could etch/engrave copper clad, it would work great for making circuit boards. IDK but will find out with our new one we received...

Love you grinding machine. Where did you get it? Who makes it? It notes nice.

Did you try taking the bore to size after the threading operation?

Very nice but over complicated.👍

Wow that was a fantastic demonstration and I learned a lot. With regard to the broken tap, perhaps you could have backed it off on a regular basis to break the chip, swarf, that is the way I was taught but you know a lot more about this than myself? Great save however. Subbed.

why reinvent the wheel?? just use an acorn die in the tail stock

Excellent process and work. Kudos on the removal of the broken tap! Any chance you have a drawing/ dimensions for this? I didn't see one mentioned. Thanks for the great video. Subscribed based on this.

Amazing work. good skills.

полная ерунда. Жесткости ноль. Резьба рваная, резец дробит. Хуня

CNC? -❌ Overenginired stuff - ✅

Great job! Thanks for the video.

My butt quivered watching you cut that piece on the bandsaw.

Wow, I love that tool!

Cool design. Never seen that before. Using a bi-stable pair of springs instead of an over-center design would get the same result for keeping the mechanism locked.

well done mate

Nice

Really great video and keep up the cleaning. Awesome little tool!!!

Nicely done

You are very skilled. I wish machining was a cheaper hobby.

👍👍👍 good tips and tricks

Great work. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

That's an awesome parting tool holdet! Well done sir. I may have to attempt making one.

Awesome tool good luck

ugh! how much is a lathe in this size that _doesnt_ require a rebuild straight out of the box 😵‍💫
