Cheers mate. Parting… Clough42, yep I’ve seen it. I think I’ve watched every parting video on the internet 😆 I’ve tried fast, slow, medium, mid medium, mid fast, hss, different hss grinds,angles, thicknesses, heights, holders, solid tool posts, then carbide etc etc… What I’ve recently come to realize is that my feed rate (auto) was too fast. I had it set on what I thought was my slowest feed gearing, which wasn’t. So I’ve adjusted that and am having a little more luck. I used to run fast all the time… but it only takes one catastrophic event to make you re-evaluate that speed 😆 Then you spend months, puckering, trying to get over it. 🤦‍♂️

For me I don’t have auto feed I am parting manually with carbide inserts, one hand feeding and the other dripping cutting oil concentrated, till I see the curly chips and continue with that rate, I only pause for a moment if I hear chattering increases the oil start feeding again and so on, for 1 inch stock I go 1000RPM and reduce it for larger diameters. Also tool hight is on center of course or fraction of a mm higher never ever lower. So far no drama 😆

Hey mate, I’m not 100% to be honest… I know it was definitely an 80’s lathe. Either 82 or 85 from memory. Hope that helps.

thankyou!

Hahahahaa… frigg’n shit stirrer 😆

Hey mate… cheers. I just use 60w hydraulic oil for pretty much everything. I couldn’t find out either. The above seems to be a std it seems for most.

@@NOideaMachining Thanks for the help. Just wondering if you ran into oil leaking from the rear headstock bearing cap. specificually oil that was leaking from the internal diameter where the spindle axle sits @ 7:33. looking at the bearing cap it looks as if a O ring sits inside that groove but im not too sure.

@jsquared3434 nah no leaks at all mate. Back seal is just a liquid gasket as std, front has to have a gasket for clearance so I found out. Won’t work without it.

The name reflects the Aussie bloke doing it 😆😆 Cheers mate 👍

Absolutely horrible shit mate. Glad to of used up the last of it. Whatever it was 😆

Thanks bud. Yeah, it’s a shame… deeper cuts gives an amazing finish, like mirror. Only catch is you might lose part of your body 😆 Terrible whatever it was.

Thanks mate 👍

Cheers mate 👍 The surface grinder was… well, I saw it by accident and got the “I wants”… 😩 Got it for a very good price, so yeah… Didn’t need it really. But in saying that, I was about to make some kind of tool and cutter grinder. After thinking about it it, this will also do what I want with that as well. So it’s sort of kill 2 birds, kinda thing. I’ve just got to make the attachments I need now. More projects 😊

Cheers mate 👍

Hi mate, yeh mines not that. I tried 😆 It’s slightly different. Who knows whether it was damaged and repaired or something and possibly re-ground slightly less, which would make sense as it’s less than 3” tpf. 🤷‍♂️

@@NOideaMachining I do know some of the Sanford machines came with 2.750 TPF. That could be what your machine is, Just passing along what I know. Cheers👍

@@Randysshop thanks mate. I found charts of a bunch of different adapters for a heap of machines.. I drew up what mine was in fusion and then tried matching all these other profiles to see what was closest or matched. None did. I reckon it’s been messed with in the past. I guess it doesn’t matter, I have the details of it now, so I can make more adapters if need be. 👍

Haha, yeah, friendly when they want something from you “friends”. 😆 Funny how those sort of friends aren’t as friendly when you need something from them.

Cheers mate 👍

@@D40.. yeh mate, sure did. Thanks heaps 👍👍

@@NOideaMachining Yeah too easy, so like I said if you want any more info on that stuff, measurements or whatever just flick me an email man no probs.

@@D40.. thanks mate… appreciated 👍

@@trevorking2383 hey mate… Yep that’s what my new ones are now (vids on the way) but the original wasn’t. I don’t know what it is… it’s some in-between thing. I don’t know if it was the original that came with it or not. Who knows. 🤷‍♂️

@@trevorking2383 can I ask what your taper was ?? That was also a bit odd on mine.

@@NOideaMachining The tapers are usually measured in "inches per foot" so they don't acquaint to any rounded off angles. Shall remeasure mine and get back to you. My grinder is a Hare and Forbes SG340 (G203). R... T...

@@trevorking2383 all good mate, no drama.. I was just curious. 👍

Needed something in a hurry… got the job done 👍

@@amok42 thanks buddy. Yeah there was a bit in it 😩😆

@@alimusavi8543 hi mate, Watch the last part of this episode.. it’ll give you some details of where to find it. th-cam.com/video/XueONwSeuOI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=l9wK1LPrfuFMOptf

@@timcook3539 😳 Sorry mate… ☺️ I really wanted it 😆 Whoever was the last one bidding only missed out by $20. $400 was my max, 410 would have won it. Glad they didn’t 😆

@@NOideaMachining yeah i think that was me, congrats its a nice little machine

@@jctoxicwarriors9577 hi mate… cheers. I like the mag scale, apart from it only reading in 10’s instead of 5um’s for some reason. And I don’t know why. Honestly I haven’t looked up under the cover to see what’s going on since I installed it, whether there are any chips stuck to it or not. It always works… so never bothered. They never stick or show signs of wanting to stick anywhere else though. I could possibly help you out with the parts… although you’d have to be a little patient as I’m pretty time poor atm.

@@NOideaMachining I completely understand. There is not enough hrs in a day. I'm really wish they wouldn't have put the carriage lock bolt so close to the slide. That is the issue I'm trying to work around. I appreciate you replying back and enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks

@@jctoxicwarriors9577 yeah mate, I stood there for hrs trying to figure out the best way to work around that silly bolt position. That’s why mine ended up the way it is… Took me ages with heaps of mucking about to get it as good as it ended up. 👍

@NOideaMachining would you have your measurements still for the brackets? A friend said I can use his mill.

@jctoxicwarriors9577 hey mate, nah I don’t but I can measure it for you if you like. Send me an email: noideamachining@gmail.com So I can send you something… 👍

Cheers mate 👍

@@wobbbs hey mate, thanks for the advice 👍 I’d love to be able to afford all the ducks nuts of tooling, but it’s just not happening any time soon unfortunately. Not when half a bag full of groceries is just shy of 100 bucks these days 😡 It’s bullshit. Cheap shit it is for now unfortunately. I need a sponsor! 😆😆 Donate me good tooling, tool suppliers! and I’ll happily review it for free 😆😉

Just like I’m jealous of these people with big sheds, big mills 😆

Yeh, this was a first for me… saw it by accident and got the I wants 😆 It’s another trap… like marketplace 😊

I was planning on making a sort of tool and cutter grinder as my next project until I saw this… Now decided to make a few fixtures for this so I can sharpen endmills on this thing instead. So… same same, but different 😆

@@NOideaMachining Yep that should work nicely. I bought the T&C grinder from H&F, it came with a stack of attachments and stuff and also some videos on how to use them all, though they aren't in English, I did try to email them to you once before but the damn files were too big unless you can think of another way. Alternatively I can take a stack of photos if you want.

@@D40.. hey mate, yeh I’d be interested to see the attachments etc. I’ve got ideas but I’m open to better ones. Try wetransfer.com/upload Allows up to 2gb. It’ll send me the link for the download. 👍👍

@@NOideaMachining Gday mate I sent those vids, I like that wetransfer, nice and simple to use so cheers for that, you get three days to download by the looks of it, let me know how you got on. P.S. The only attachment that didn't come with the machine was the ball nose end mill one which would be nice to have, maybe one day.

@@D40.. thanks heaps mate… I’ll check it out now 👍👍

@@RepLicanT00100 yep… came up alright 👍

Not bad for an old shitter! 😂

@@adhawk5632 hey mate… yeah the one that came with it is eclipse… apparently pretty good from what I’ve seen online. It’s bloody strong I know that much. Next vid will show it cleaned up. It came up pretty good with little effort. I’m wrapped.

@@RepLicanT00100 which lathe mate ?

@@tomeyssen9674 Thank you mate 👍 Thanks for enduring it 😆☺️

@@orangetruckman G’day mate… cheers! That’s not a bad idea. I’ll have to look into that for sure 👍👍

😉 cheers mate 👍

Very nice 😆 👍

@@pinlap3875 79 teeth of anxiety and “was it all worth it??” 1 tooth of “thank f-k for that” 😆😆 Cheers mate 👍

No probs mate and thanks 👍

@@NOideaMachining You're most welcome. 👍
