Solenoid & Transformer - How they work.
This week I show how a solenoid and transformer work, including cutting them in half. I would also recommend watching 'Engineering mindset' on this subject for more information. Caution is needed when ever using high voltage and of course never work on live electrical circuits unless qualified to do so. Sorry about flickering light effect, I'll try and film in more ambient light next time.

Scrap wood bowl make - My first bowl ever..
มุมมอง 913 ปีที่แล้ว
I had some scrap wood strips which I decided to make a laminate bowl from. I've never made a bowl before on a lathe. My lathe (Warco) data plate shows a maximum 10" diameter from the centre of the headstock to the lathe bed. I decided to test my lathe by turning the maximum diameter of about 10".
Beginners wood lathe - Ink well make
มุมมอง 4213 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a beginners wood turning lathe project. I had some spare ink wells so decided to make some hard wood holders. I used some strips of Oak, Walnut, Beech and a white wood and formed a laminate. Once dried the stock was cut and turned to a finished project. These ink wells will be for sale at my next craft fair. Thanks for watching.

Make an Argentinian Grill - or Parrilla
มุมมอง 5K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This video is about Make an Argentinian Grill. This is a one day build as hoping to use grill tomorrow night... The idea is to put hardwood logs into the fire basket and burn until white on the outside then transfer to under the grill bars. The cook temperature is controlled by adding or removing logs or cinders. This is a form of low temp coking over a longer period of time. This method will p...

    Hi.. How have you found the accuracy and reliability especially at high speed turning.. I am looking at this very Chester lathe and the Cormak Tytan 330 and to be honest both companies are not the best on customer service when it comes to asking pre purchase questions.. I wish to turn large pieces from mild steel and billet size is 150mm circum x 200mm length to turn down.. Can't get a definite answer if any of the two machines will cope...any thoughts.. I currently own and use an old willson slant bed lathe from the 60's

    • @darrensworkshop6783
      @darrensworkshop6783 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi The Chester lathe is Chinese built (as most are). I found accuracy good the run out was very low but I can't remember he figure. The castings where on the poor side and I did have an issue with the gear selector casting inside the gearbox breaking (replaced FOC by Chester but I did diagnose and repair myself). For the money the Chester Craftsmen is ok for medium turning but heavy cuts may present problems - that goes for any lathe I guess. I suppose it's a case of knowing the machine limits. Thanks Darren

    Hiya, just came across your video, informative as I've just picked up an exact replica here in Aus. Made in 2004 and marketed by Hare and Forbes Machinery as the AL300. Very happy with it and a good fit between the little lathe/mill and the big beast in the shed. I did make a decent stand using 50mm SHS (3mm wall) as those little cupboards where a a bit flakey and couldn't accommodate the coolant/chip collector. The quality of these machines can vary a little, but with a careful going over, refinements will eliminate issues before the swearing starts. Keep up the videos, interested to see what you are machining. Have a look at CEE for some serious machining... learnt a lot from that channel (as well as Abom79)

    why are the lathes so much cheaper in the uk then in the netherlands ? If I could buy this lathe for 2500 to 3000 euros, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. 90 cm between the centers AND a norton box with 40 choices, it's unbelievable for that money? the only thing i would change is a 3 phase motor with a vfd, then the lathe is totally top of the bill! do you know if they sold these kind of lathes in the netherlands ? greetings, ben.

    • @darrensworkshop6783
      @darrensworkshop6783 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi The lathe is a Chinese copy of an American lathe. I found the cast iron parts a little weak and had to replace a couple of them under warranty. The VFD would be an upgrade I may have made but again it may have over stressed the bearing castings.. The turning quality was very good with very little runout. Not sure if Chester supply the Netherlands. Thanks for the comment.

  • @bradclarke5219
    @bradclarke5219 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Man I feel your pain when it comes to centering, I cut threads on tubing and casing for the rigs and that is the slowest part of the job sometimes, but because I cut threads I use a slip on gauge to centre but still a pain in the ass.

  • @shiro-r4m
    @shiro-r4m 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    While turning hardened steel is possible with the correct inserts, most of the time people just grind this kind of job. If you're not directly in contact with an industrial supplier, finding the correct inserts to do this is not easy. I've happened to find some carbide inserts (not CBN or PCD) that I've tested up to HRC 60-62 bearing steel and that worked surprisingly well. They are the Seco TH1000 grade inserts available in many shapes and sizes. Just make sure they are actually specified for hardened materials.

    I’m about to try making a surface plate from part of a large cast iron table saw. Based on your hard work, I think I will begin by strapping my plate on my mill and use a fly cutter to bring it down to where the divots are gone. Then I’ll determine a course of action. I new surface plate is probably the way to go but like you, the learning is half the fun
