The Hobby Machinist NZ channel contains content for things that you would do in a home shop such as fabrication, welding, machining etc. I like making shop tools and making improvements on my machines and equipment in the shop to make them easier to use and more efficient. I also have an interest in woodturning, and I like making tools and jigs to use on the wood lathe. I create and post videos of what I make so that others can use the ideas and processes for their own projects.

In this video we change the bearings in a Nova 3000 DVR wood lathe. I could not find any videos on this procedure so I hope this video helps someone in the future. It turns out that the actual issue or noise is not related to the bearings. The owner has taken the motor to the agents who will investigate. I will post what the findings are once I hear back.

Walker Turner Drill Press Restoration
Hey, nice build thanks. As you're in NZ propane is a little harder to come by... are you running this on LPG? Could you please share some details on your burner and gas supply?
Hi. If I had not made the one I have now, I would make one of these. Here in the Uk I have the Myford super 7B lathe & with a Bronze bush headstock bearing I was having lots of problems parting off. But I ended up doing a video of making a rear upside down adjustable tool. Which I can fit 3 different sizes of blades to. Works superbly. Thanks for the video. Great work. Steve.
Very nice work sir. Interesting.
Thank you.
Indeed, primitive... Looking good. I watched Mark's video when it came out. This design seems to work really well.
Thanks Michel.
Thanks for sharing 👍
No problem.
Gee Jon, guess what my next project was going to be? I literally printed the drawings out today! I'm thinking I will use the tee section parting blade. Mark is sending me one. In light of what you have found, I think I'll delete the slotted mounting hole. Regards, Preso
Sorry Mark. I recall a while back there were 3 or 4 videos on making a specific Hemmingway tool. Its funny how people make the same thing at the same time. Regarding that slotted hole, the blade angle is not a lot where I placed the normal hole in my second version of that part. The hole on the left is 12.9mm from the top and I drilled the hole on the right 10.9mm from the top (I was trying to find a neutral/average position). You may want to go less on the hole on the right to produce more blade angle. I may actually build another part and drill the hole 9.5mm as per the measurements in the plan.
top job, i enjoyed every minute.
Thank you.
Perfect outcome Jon, well done. 👍
Thank you.
Looks to work OK Jon. The main improvement IMHO was to reduce the massive blade overhang. That Eclipse tool was unbelievably bad. So much leverage on the tool post. Interestingly I see you don't appear to use any top relief on your parting off blade. I do and it makes a big improvement to the cutting action. Interesting topic. Cheers Rob
Thanks Rob. Those parting blades that I have are a bit odd. The have a chamfer completely along the top edge. So you have to grind the top surface down to remove the chamfer and make it flat to begin with. I could have ground more off further back to produce more top relief, but I was hoping that the blade angle would help with top relief. It turned out that the blade angle was not as much as my smaller parting tool. I may make another Part B with more angle for the blade which should produce more top relief.
@@thehobbymachinistnz I also don't recommend using an angled cutting edge. I find it pushes the blade sideways away from the job and produces a cone surface (with thin blades). To each their own method. I still haven't tried carbide insert parting off blades ;) HSS works fine for me, so I never bothered. Cheers Rob
Thanks for the video, I have the same machine, just 1 question, how much oil did you use in total?
Hi I cant remember exactly but it was well over 4 litres. I would say more like 5 litres or a bit more for all three areas on the lathe.
@thehobbymachinistnz Thanks much appreciated
it's true that Fireball Tool sells the most expensive vise in the world 😂😂😂😂 almost 2000 dollars
That is a lot of money. I guess that is in US dollars so that would be almost $3,000 NZ dollars.
Has anyone done a CNC conversion to replace the round column upper half of the machine with a custom z axis and spindle? I was thinking of using the xy table base and then fabricating an X axis to replace the round column
I don't know if anyone has done a conversion like that. Thanks for watching.
How much more did you lift the stone for the 2nd facet grind?
I don't recall, but it was not a lot. A little movement is enough to grind the second algle.
muito bom...parabens......ficou chic demais
Thank you
Good 👍
Thanks.
Love the channel but you gotta stop wearing the leather gloves when machining
Thank you.
Very nice. Will add that to my project list. Hey I'm fairly new to at home machining (yacht maintenance mainly), and one thing I am really struggling to nail is where in NZ to get small quantities of stock. Specifically 6061 ally bar, 316 stainless and Acetal or Delrin. Got any tips in that department?
I have never brought ally, stainless or acetal/delrin so I don't not know where to source them from. I cast my own aluminum and that is all I use on my projects. All the stainless I have has been given to me. I have no idea of the grade though. I don't think I have turned acetal or delrin, but I did make some turning blanks out of HDPE by melting it down and squashing it up in a mold. I have a video on that process. Probably no helpful but that is my experience.
Howdy Nice job. I have the exact same Tanner jointer and will be replacing the bearings. What are your bearing sizes here? Kind regards Auburn
Sorry I don't know and the video does not show the model number. I had a lot of new bearings given to me and I was able to fine new bearings in that lot, so I did not actually buy them. From memory I measured them and looked up what bearing had those measurements. Then I went through and found the correct bearings. I think you will need to do the same to get the correct bearings.
Very nice work sir. A faceplate is so handy.
Thanks for watching.
Nice job as usual. Is the mystery mandrel something to do with a jig for ornamental turning?
Thanks Kieran. No, it not for ornamental turning. I will show something different for that in my demo in a few weeks. Dave G guessed it. It is for a Pro-Mount carving stand that I plan to build.
Nice job on the faceplates. Well done. I do not have the steel stock to make metal faceplates for my wood lathe. I have made ones with hard wood, e.g., walnut. I use these for various light load applications. Could be used for sanding discs. For dedicated sanding discs I now 3D print faceplates. I have made these for a few of my local turning club members. They are working well. Dave.
It is amazing how technology can aid in making things. 3D printers are so useful. Thanks for watching.
It's for a carving pro mount jig. I'm thinking 🤔
You got it 100%. Pro-Mount carving stand.
Always nice when you can make your own tools. And it's fun to do.
Thanks Michel.
Nice work. That steel worked very well. What grade was it ? Cheers Rob
Thanks Rob. It did turn nicely. I don't know what grade it is though.
@@thehobbymachinistnz Mystery metal :) We all use lots of that. Sometimes you get lucky.
Nice work. 👍
Thank you.
Nice job mate
Thank you.
I was thinking you needed to take off the point on the ends of the cutting faces. maybe not. did they chip off ?
Thanks for your question. No, I have not had any chip off at this stage.
I'm gonna guess some kind of collet closer-like tool for a wood lathe, although my confidence level is like 5%... Always enjoy your content :)
Thanks for the guess. Someone else got it. It is a Pro-Mount carving stand.
Nice work, Jonny. That was quite enjoyable to watch.
Thanks Kevin. Did you see that ATR landing in Wellington with smoke pouring out the engine?
Well done! I would love to see a follow-up video on tooling for bending 1" stainless steel tubing.
Thanks for watching. If I need to make such a die I will make a video of it.
Great video Jon. I need to do this also. It looks very solid in hand.
Thanks Thinus.
Looks great. After seeing so many epoxy tables on TH-cam its nice to see something else.
Those epoxy tables look really good. May be something for the future. Thanks for watching.
You need to use the Orange Grinding Stone that is for Steel as used in Dremel Rotary Tools. The Stone you are using is for non ferrous metals, not for steel.
Thanks for your advise.
Looking good. I never worked with resin. I should give it a go one day.
It works well with wood. There are countless things you can make which I will look into in the future. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful execution and planning!
Thank you very much.
Excellent video. Really enjoyed the build process. Keep them coming!
Thank you.
Great, informative video. You have a great attention to detail.
Thank you.
Very nice work sir
Thank you.
Well done project. Just so you know your buddy probably wasn't just messing with you, you really are supposed to mix epoxy resins for a long time. They say mix it for as long as you think you need to, then mix it for twice that long again.
Yes, better to mix too much than not enough. Thanks for watching.
Great result. Love the blue stripes from the expoxy.
Thank you.
Getting a chunk of steel like that is a nice score.
Yes, it will come in handy for some other projects.
👍👍😎👍👍
👍
Yea, top job mate.
Thanks.
Looks great. The epoxy resin came out better than I thought it would.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Very nice indeed, it's as flash as a Rat with a gold tooth. 👍
Thanks for watching.
Looks good Jon. Worked out well. Cheers Rob
Thanks Rob.
A thing of beauty.
Thank you.
Gday John, the resin looks really good in the handle, I’ve often thought about making a small table top with resin infill, nice job mate, cheers
Thanks Matty. I haven't seen a video from you in a while. Everything ok?
@@thehobbymachinistnz yer all good thanks mate
Drill bits usually have a soft shank so the drill chuck jaws can bite into it. Try to use milling cutter shanks or tap shanks, both are hardened and will get a keener edge that will last much longer.
Thanks for your comments.
