    But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Yeshua ישוע (Jesus) and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the YHVH יהוה (LORD) shall be saved.” Romans 10:8-13

    Brilliant. I have a Colchester Chipmaster which is a rigid lathe but I have never succeeded at parting with it. No matter what I use - HSS or carbide, it would end in breaks or chipped inserts. I will be trying this for sure.

    An interrupts based program does not really work because there is overcounting if the pin stays low for some time. Instead there should be an explicit counting of pin transitions within the loop and resetting the count every so often (2000 msec or whatever is your favorite number of milliseconds). Correction: additional experiments showed that interrupts work fine if the sensor is placed correctly.

    As i experienced in my chinese mini-lathe, after having broken a lot of parting-inserts, the goal is to use the tool upside down and - of course - opposit revolution direction. Using this configuration helps the chips falling down for gravity, so leaving the work free from them, allowing the insert to freely cutting. I have no risk of un-screwing the mandrel, as it is fixed to the lathe nose with three 6 mm screws and nuts ( 4 screws for 4 jaws mandrel ), the only risk is for the compound that could be snapped out, but only if too far much strenght would be applied ... ( i don't really fear of this chance ... ) Just three tips : 1 - be aware of construction steel, it is not so omogenous inside as silver steel or lead-steel can be, and so it gives variabile stress on the carbide tip, leading to broke it. So advance with hight attention ... 2 - if you hear a noise twistle, your tip is not cutting, but just touching your piece, this can lead to harden the piece, better have a bit heart and give a bit more turn of the knob. 3 - as i saw in many videos, enlarge the cut on both sides to give more space to the chips to fall down and get a more free space for the tip ... Using upside down tool and opposit direction, i was able ( this time using an HSS tool, 3,0 mm large, from Proxxon ) to part a 45 mm piece of steel ...

    Interresting aproach! However, what's that on @4:12 ? the tool holder was not locked solid so it twisted, That way, the tool is not perpendicular to the workpeace.. Normally that's a recipe for disaster when parting off..

This would require a 5k chest belt, and a receiver that would replace the handles on most treadmills as running while holding on is NOT a good practice on a treadmill.

  • @taiwanluthiers
    @taiwanluthiers 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the advise. I got mine to not break insert by basically backing the tool inside the 4 way tool post, but those without a 4 way toolpost can't do this, and the support really helps. I found the support size is critical, too little and it doesn't support, too much and it shifts the center point too high. Will need to make more than one, or have a way to adjust the length. Problem is these things are designed for CNC... where they're not oriented like a manual lathe but backwards (it means your took faces downwards, and the lathe turns backwards). Doing this somehow improves stiffness for some reason, and on a lighter lathe that can't use parting tool without chatter mounting it backwards can eliminate the chatter. If you look at every CNC lathe video you will know what I mean, the tool faces the wrong way compared to a manual lathe. Edit: Most parting tool holders sticks far too much out to use in a manual lathe, and was wondering perhaps you have to mill the quick change tool holder to allow you to back the insert holder inside the holder slot...

      Thank you for your kind comments, Tyler, no I did not have to mill my cutoff tool, it fits just fine in my older Botsford lathe and yes, I heard that if you mount a cut off tool upside down and behind the workpiece in a CNC lathe for example there is less chance of breaking a carbide insert.
