@Questionablethings the bar was an old double D steering shaft from a car,cut down to. 5" to fit my tool post , bearing is 3/8"id 7/8 od if I remember right

@@geraldsgarage4100 You are a star, thank you for getting back to me. Will definitely be making one of these, kind regards, Dave

Thank you!

Agreed don't post videos of poor concepts

The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎💩💩😬

@@FeloniousSpeed91 yeah

If you don't know how this tool is used and have never seen it before you have not been in the machining business very long my friend. 🤔🤷

@@chuckbeckley7894 So viewers must watch a whole video or fast forward ... either way using up data to see a tool they may know only to cuss because they wasted time... and data. This whole video is about the skill of the machinist and less about the tool... got that ?? Good.

Thank you for the nice words! glad you liked it!

Yep, gave me an adrenaline rush........

I take it you are referring to the fact he is stopping the chuck with his hand, a bit scary for sure, based on the size of the hand to the chuck it seems like a pretty small machine but still a really bad idea to get into a habit like that. My machine is a bit larger and the VFD acts as a brake so I am never even tempted to touch the chuck while moving. The long sleeves are a little concerning too.

@@tates11 yes

If you're going to make a comment like that you could at least say how it could be better!

@@David-hm9ic Set the bearing at 45 degrees, whether used on the face or the outside or use a transfer ball at 45 degrees. Leave the body round and clamp in a vee or round holder.

Don't need drama queens here, please.

My vacuum gets clogged with metal shavings all the time. Also oozes oil that settles in the hose. But no, your not the only one to use one.

You would not make very much money in the production line field then would you. 🤔🤣

@garysgarage101 Thank you! Really easy to make too, took me about 20 minutes lol

Save some puss for the rest of us 😂

At 7:00 it's the "left" bearing that's being used, and at 7:32 it's the "right" bearing. By having one on either end the tool can be used for both alignment operations; otherwise you could only do one (unless you removed the tool from the toolholder and flipped it around - which takes longer than moving the toolholder in a quick release toolpost).

Or have one bearing at 45 degrees and use it for both.

Do you walk around and point to everyone around you everything they do that MAY hurt them? If you do, stop doing that. People do dangerous things all the time. Some even walk down the stairs not holding to the railing with both hands… If they are doing it carefully and with the understanding of the risk involved, they don’t get hurt. But if they do, they know why and don’t need “I told you so” from you.

@@rok1475 Have you ever lost a finger? do you know anyone who has? have you not had basic Machine Shop safety taught to you? are you a Machinist? do you understand that you are not as strong as a Machine Tool? When I walk around or read around or watch video's I have enough sense which you don't seem to have that I or others could be injured and even the video channel owner agrees with me (notice that?) so being safety DUMB isn't smart so "stop doing that"..

@tedh.8356 The operative word is "near". I didn't see anything dangerous in the way the chuck was slowed. We'll give Gerald the benefit of the doubt here-he knows not to put his hand near the chuck jaws. He is doing what 99% of lathe users do if their lathe doesn't have a mechanical or electrical brake.

@@johncrowley5612 You're an idiot who doesn't know the least about Machine Tool safety, even Gerald admitted that he was wrong, grow up and learn work safety instead of trying to prove yourself right when you're wrong, take a machine Shop course somewhere, safety is always the first thing an instructor teaches.

I hate safety features on machine tools. They obscure the danger, hinder work, lessen danger-awareness and sometimes directly cause danger! Like these plastic guards around cut-off saws. You can blow out the sawdust but not stop resins from building up in them. If you count on them for safe work, one bad day they fail and you saw off your knuckles.

Took longer to make the video, very handy!

Yeah like the guy with a lathe, cad and cnc router making a belt sander

Watch the video, at the end it is pretty self explanatory.

@trahtrebor make the holding ends a little deeper, it's easy to pop off if you lift it from the screw, maybe 3/8" deeper.

@geraldsgarage4100 Gotcha. Thanks.
