Yeah i gotta agree with that. It shows that you are very experienced Adam and explain the steps very well. Dealing with a piece as big as this and getting it to precision like you do takes experience and patience, also as you do, measure twice and think before you cut. :-) A joy to watch and it makes me miss my old job making tools by hand. I guess i'll have to come up with a project to give me an excuse to visit the workshop again. ;-)
The instrument Donny is referring is a dial indicator. It's used to calculate runout and tooling position. A micrometer is a measuring tool used to measure the outside diameter of a part, accurate within ten thousands of an inch.
This weekend I had to do something similar but on a much much smaller scale . A shaft needed bearing pockets on each side . Shaft was to big to pass trough the lathe spindle So I did like you showed it . Machined a true section on each side , put up the steady , worked one face flipped it around ..... Worked like charm ! Thank you somuch for sharing .
Adam, I'm not a machinist but, I'm constantly amazed at the amount of knowledge and skill you show in you episodes. You explain everything tin a way that even a layman such as myself understands what you're doing. Great videos man. Keep it up.
Very Good. That is a pretty long turn with no taper. I enjoyed watching this. I'm now retired but I did just this kind of work for 35 years. Nice work, Adam!
good luck catching up on the 2 years of material!, also check out, keith rucker, doubleboost, keith fenner, along the way if you havent so far, lots of lathe work to see
The thing i always found fascinating about machining, especially lathe turning, is you can see all the imperfections (out of rounds in this case) and see the work involved in making it perfect. Doesn't matter if it's wood metal or plastic, it's always very cool watching the work machining done
Many years ago,I worked on a Herbert 9 turret lathe.This reminds me of those days.Not quite on the scale of this machine,but it was a fairly large machine.Love seeing machining of this size being worked. Great vids.
Turret lathes are awesome. I run an old Warner & Swasey No. 3 at my shop every day. I use it for production runs as well as one offs (turret makes a great quick-change tailstock...)
watching the chips fly off straw colored and land in the pile as they blue themselves really puts into perspective how much work the tool is doing. really incredible what they can do.
You are Inspiration , converting this heavy metal into a usable part is an institutional expression , I wonder when will I have a machine shop of my own , to feel what you feel , and do a fraction of what you can do. I am building a small Milling machine with limited set of tools , A hammer , a hand held drill , a saw and some screw drivers, and aluminum .. Measurements and precision is a Bliss which I am trying to achieve , But I am not (Adam) however my mistakes in the making enable me to appreciate the masters. You for sure are a master and a mentor. Respects and Regards.
Very nice , the shaft turned out great. Finish WOW almost looks center ground. Big difference from the journals I use to turn after the stick welded them 40 years ago. But my finish was always polished to a shine and size. Only I had to use files and Emory belts in different grits. The shop lathe you use is a well made one. Pacemaker top shelf in there day.Thanks Adam for another memory from my long past life. Gary
I did stuff like that on a work experience program through my high school when I was 17, The knowledge I received from the guys in that shop has stuck with me till this day. I believe in accuracy and precision
Awesome job... full respect for you... was in the trade 20 years ago. I worked in the aerospace end of things but once a machinist always a Machinist. I prefer the milling machine and I guess that makes me a mill head. But I'm blown away by the lack of run out over the entire shaft. You made the dynamic balancer job easy..
On many of our steady rests we ground clearance under the shoulder to prevent the chips from bulking up and pushing without losing the integrity of the steady rest. Also used second spray lube, (empty of course), to blow out accumulated chips. What was Rc of shaft? Loved machining 4150....get glass finishes taking .050" at .025" feeds final cut......great teaching videos...keep it up.....from a retired job shop machinest and still missing it after ten years!
In today's day and age of CNC this type of skill is becoming rarer to find. Before CNC everything was machined and turned manually, it's always refreshing to watch a skilled machinist turning precision pieces by hand regardless of the scale of the work piece.
I made pump shafts and gear box shafts for 30 yrs. Would grind them all. I guess he does not have a cylindrical grinder. I guess you do the best with what you have. That is a beefy shaft but those long keyways could have relieved some stress when they were cut in and the shaft could have moved. I would grind between centers after keys were cut in. Probably good enough for a big old gear box. You could check this shaft by making a set of wooden v blocks rough sawn out of 2x4s. Sounds crazy but they work well when you oil them. Set them at the bearing journals and indicate the rest of the shaft. When i was shown the wooden V blocks for the first time i was skeptical but after using them for years i started calling them high precision wooded V blocks. I guess i really liked my job. I could not stop watching and had to comment. Thanks
I worked in repair shop then refinery machine shop. It is great that people can learn from your videos. In the old days we would do something the same way for 10 yrs and a new hire would come in and do it a better way and you would say Dan that's a good idea. Just like the wooded V blocks to check runouts on shafts. I'm going to watch you other videos. Thanks
Beautiful work Abom. Perfection is in the details, and you showed us the right way to do it. I got my start on a big Monarch in 1956 in Charlotte, N.C. Machining is in your blood and I now enjoy working in my own shop. Keep producing these great videos.
I'm only a hobbyist but I picked up some great tips and techniques from this series. Was fascinated by your approach particularly recutting the center before the making your final cuts and managing the chips.
Any body can say what they want but this guy Adam is one heck of a machinist and he is what they call a real machinist not just a programmer of a computer to do all the work
My first machining job out of school had a lathe I could take .500thou cuts. It was the coolest thing ever. Chips are like 30thou thick and sound so cool hitting the chip pan!
Recutting that centre was beautiful. As I've said before, working as a precision NC grinder in aerospace, seeing this kind of creative manual machining makes me wish I could spend a day in your shop making chips!
Beautiful work brother! I’m doing similar work on an old stankoimport lathe. 260 diameter 4140 solid shaft, love those 1/2” cuts! Peace from New Zealand. 🤘
A real skilled craftsman and a pleasure to follow the process. My Great-grandfather, grandfather, my own father and a number of uncles were all engineers, working with machinery like this, working to make steam engines right through to aircraft parts. Great work Sir!
Nice work man. A lot of guys get in trouble because they indicate by the chuck and then the steady rest. They get it zeroed out but the tail end is low or high in relation to the lathe bed and the cuts are tapered.
I think it great to watch a machinest that is so very confident in his work and can make something of this magnitude. Adam your a true top notch machinest my man and it's always a pleasure to watch you work.
I miss the days of cranking dials! Good to see the Aloris Tool post in use and of course, from one to another, it's good to see someone who's an old school machinist. Awesome videos.
Adam, this is the kind of machining that brought me to your channel, 2+ years back. You making those nice colorful chips was awesome. All of your machining work is first class! Keep producing these videos and I'll keep watching! Thanks for the super heavy duty work! ....13
Hi Abom, I stumbled about your channel while surfing through youtube and been stuck there ever since for days! Love to watch your cool, precise style and of course your honest way to talk! Great fan!!!
Beautiful work, beautiful video production. Should be required viewing in all high school shop classes. Kids have no idea about what it takes to keep this civilization arrow straight into the future.
Seeing alll those chips being made reminds me of the time back in 1972/73 when I worked on the railroad. One of the big local businesses made 105mm shells for the Vietnam War. We'd send in open-topped carloads of ~5-inch square steel bars, and bring boxcar loads of finished shells out. The company's contract gave them the scrap, so we'd also bring out carloads of full of steaming chips.
Abom79 Cool! Yeah, I'm pretty new to machining and stuff in heavy industry, so it's always nice to see the things that are used in it. Anyway, thanks for all the great videos!
Shafts this size and larger could be for just about anything. I machined many like this at Gardner-Denver. You will also see some with various kinds of threads you have to cut. Ah the good old days!
Love watching those chips turn color. Machinists know that color well. I don't think it exists anywhere else on the planet. Adam is Abom, but he is also THE BOMB!!!
Yep, cool mist is really nice. First time i tried it (borrowed a standalone unit from a friend when my sump pump broke) i didn't think it would work, but it's surprisingly good for what it is. Cleaner too, in my opinion. Now i have my own setup and after dialing it in by trial and error is really effective, i rarely use the flood coolant anymore, well, unless i'm really digging in to heavy stuff.
Around 18:00, you can SEE the runout in the rough material in the width of the chips being formed. Cool. I love how you can hear it too. Those chips are such a beautiful blue.
coming off blue, means you are working about as fast as is possible to go, the slightly less hurried is the 'coming off tan and turning blue' is the usual, but with a job that makes chips by the ton, you need to get a hurry on i guess
Dang it I haven’t seen part 1 or 3 , i came in in the middle. Awesome to watch & learn from. So many questions. 1. What is the shaft for? Prop shaft on the Queen Mary? 2. What happened to the old shaft that your copying? Bent? Broke? Rusted out? Wore Out? I could ask a lot more questions, but I am not worthy. Looking to buy my first lathe next week I hope, so been researching and binge watching lathe videos all night for weeks, I have sunken eyes like two pee holes in the snow, people are asking if I’m ill! 😂😂 I’m just one of these people likes to know everything. Heck I’ve already forgotten more than most people know, that’s the great thing about Alzheimer’s disease, you meet new people every day and learn new things that you probably knew yesterday. All my 3 kids are named “whatsyanameagain”? 😉😂😂👍
Speaking of being nervous: I once scrapped a 10 ft x 30 inch by 8 inch thick piece of titanium while operating an abrasive waterjet machine. My supervisor accepted the responsibility for the error as I followed his orders despite my warning that IMHO it was being undercut. It was.
I use to use old Printing Shop rubber pieces for the guard on the steady rest, it is very heavy duty rubber on one side, cloth on the back, could actually stretch it over the diameter, it wouldn't even let coolant get into the rollers. Print shops use to throw that stuff away, I don't know if they still do that now.
man I work in a large job shop called Everett engineering in Everett WA, and a lot of our turning tools use the cnmg 64x tools like that. I absolutely love them, especially the CNMG643MT. keep up the nice work brother. if you ever take a pnw vacation, holler my way
Kennametal - KC850 is a great Grade for Roughing/Intermittent cutting AND Finishing. I've no connection with Kennametal, except that as an operator, I found them the best all round Inserts. Their H10F Grade is also very good on Inconel. (I was a Turner in the Oil Tool Industry which used some exotic materials)
yay the advantages of being late to the party on to vid 3 and get to see from start to finish in one hit..... grate vids and great work its such a pleasure to watch some one who knows what they're doing and most of all has pride in they're work.
Ok, from a paper mill, my first thoughts were that it was a shaft from a locomotive with the gear and would be coupled to a traction motor, anyway great vid, pretty good camera work, you spoke very well, accurate and to the point, thanks.
I like watching the chips. Especially how they change all their temper colors from plane metal right when they fall off, all the way to blue as they rest in the chip trey.
This makes me miss running a lathe. The shop im at now has me running a 4 axis machining center and i only get to run a lathe maybe once of twice a month. Those are some good looking chips though, looks like you know speeds and feeds like the back of your hand 👍
Abom have you ever thought to use the Cool mist unit without coolant for an air blast to keep chips of brass from flying backward off the lathe? It could be used to divert them downward into the opening for the chips! If you can adjust the pattern "Like firemen do" with the flow for coolant you can adjust it for air as well! Meaning you could have a wide pattern to catch the chips and intervene with their natural tendency of flying everywhere and direct them into the opening between the ways!
wow adam thats very big machinging and not to metion a very big ticket price for a job like that. you dont want to make a mistake on that one lol. exellent job as usual adam. thanks.
Talking about machine vibrations - Where I did my machining apprenticeship, the hydraulic hole punch in the fabrication shop wasn't too far from the machine shop. I'd be running a finishing cut on some nice steel and the welders/fabricators would come along and use the hole punch. The vibrations from the hole punch would come through show up my finishing cut... it pissed me off so bad lol. Ended up pulling the fuse out of the power panel for the hole punch when i was doing high end jobs so no one could use it.... There were some yelling/arguments now and then lol.
I could watch Adam true up his work pieces for an entire video. It's awesome watching a pro at work, working with thousandths of an inch.
Antonmursid🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
Watching you work is like therapy for me. Very relaxing. Excellent job Adam!
Yeah i gotta agree with that. It shows that you are very experienced Adam and explain the steps very well.

Absolutely. This is just mesmerizing.
32:10 Was my favorite part of the video.....that dial gauge not moving whatsoever is somehow insanely pleasing.
The instrument Donny is referring is a dial indicator. It's used to calculate runout and tooling position.
A micrometer is a measuring tool used to measure the outside diameter of a part, accurate within ten thousands of an inch.
This weekend I had to do something similar but on a much much smaller scale .
A shaft needed bearing pockets on each side . Shaft was to big to pass trough the lathe spindle
So I did like you showed it .
Machined a true section on each side , put up the steady , worked one face flipped it around .....
Worked like charm !
Thank you somuch for sharing .
Only guys like us would say "those chips are beautiful"! And they were. Thank you for sharing.
that was running through my head the whole time heheh
It's part of my job to create some great looking chips!
Chips Ahoy..mate...Seriously, I never get tired of looking at them or the gleaming, shiny metal.
Im very late to make a response to your comment, but girls like me also love those chips.
People like you are the unsung heroes that keep this country running.
Adam, I'm not a machinist but, I'm constantly amazed at the amount of knowledge and skill you show in you episodes. You explain everything tin a way that even a layman such as myself understands what you're doing. Great videos man. Keep it up.
Beautiful blue chips. You could fill up a glass vase with those chips and it would make a great decorative piece for the machinists home.
I did something like that once and unfortunately they corroded really fast :(
Cocobolo81 cast it in clear resin perhaps?
Spray some oil on them, or use stainless steel chips ;)
I've got a couple small boxes with some chips from past projects saved. one of them being this shaft.
@@Abom79 what do you do with so the chips from your shop? Recycle them?
I am enjoying the patience and expertise this master machinist is demonstrating during his work. He is truly impressive!
Thanks Cheral!

Any body can say what they want but this guy Adam is one heck of a machinist and he is what they call a real machinist not just a programmer of a computer to do all the work
awesome work Adam, that new insert sure made short work removing the bulk of the waste material and beautiful chips too. thank you for sharing with us
My first machining job out of school had a lathe I could take .500thou cuts. It was the coolest thing ever. Chips are like 30thou thick and sound so cool hitting the chip pan!
half inch off the dia. btw
Full of respect for your work Adam, tons of cutting video on TH-cam, first seeing someone actually tells how, what, and why.
I love the way steel in turned into a product and you are very good at you job,continue doing so in their foot steps.
It is a pleasure to watch someone who knows and likes his work!
Recutting that centre was beautiful. As I've said before, working as a precision NC grinder in aerospace, seeing this kind of creative manual machining makes me wish I could spend a day in your shop making chips!
Beautiful work brother! I’m doing similar work on an old stankoimport lathe. 260 diameter 4140 solid shaft, love those 1/2” cuts! Peace from New Zealand. 🤘
Compared to what I do now. I am amazed I was actually trainig to do this kind of work.
Mad respect for you.
A real skilled craftsman and a pleasure to follow the process. My Great-grandfather, grandfather, my own father and a number of uncles were all engineers, working with machinery like this, working to make steam engines right through to aircraft parts. Great work Sir!
Bet it went down well when you told your family you were taking psychology and sociology at college?
Nice work man. A lot of guys get in trouble because they indicate by the chuck and then the steady rest. They get it zeroed out but the tail end is low or high in relation to the lathe bed and the cuts are tapered.
I think it great to watch a machinest that is so very confident in his work and can make something of this magnitude. Adam your a true top notch machinest my man and it's always a pleasure to watch you work.

Beautiful work, beautiful video production. Should be required viewing in all high school shop classes. Kids have no idea about what it takes to keep this civilization arrow straight into the future.
Seeing alll those chips being made reminds me of the time back in 1972/73 when I worked on the railroad. One of the big local businesses made 105mm shells for the Vietnam War. We'd send in open-topped carloads of ~5-inch square steel bars, and bring boxcar loads of finished shells out. The company's contract gave them the scrap, so we'd also bring out carloads of full of steaming chips.
Adam, This country needs folks like you. Have you had your blood sugar levels checked?
Another example of great work and demonstration of expert craftsmanship well done.
What is a large piece like this used for? I know it's for a gear box, but what is that gear box used for?
It goes to a pulp mill, used in the paper mill industry.
Abom79
Cool! Yeah, I'm pretty new to machining and stuff in heavy industry, so it's always nice to see the things that are used in it.
Anyway, thanks for all the great videos!
Thanks for posting videos!
I think it's a downhole tool for drilling an oil well...
Shafts this size and larger could be for just about anything. I machined many like this at Gardner-Denver. You will also see some with various kinds of threads you have to cut. Ah the good old days!

Awesome to watch & learn from.
So many questions.
1. What is the shaft for? Prop shaft on the Queen Mary?
2. What happened to the old shaft that your copying? Bent? Broke? Rusted out? Wore Out?
I could ask a lot more questions, but I am not worthy.
Looking to buy my first lathe next week I hope, so been researching and binge watching lathe videos all night for weeks, I have sunken eyes like two pee holes in the snow, people are asking if I’m ill! 😂😂

Yes that 600 size insert is really nice for the big boy turning jobs.
Just what I needed to round off this evening (no pun intended).
Kennametal - KC850 is a great Grade for Roughing/Intermittent cutting AND Finishing.
I've no connection with Kennametal, except that as an operator, I found them the best all round Inserts.
Their H10F Grade is also very good on Inconel. (I was a Turner in the Oil Tool Industry which used some exotic materials)
Even though this is 4 years old at this point it is still so fun to watch, my favorite is him removing a half inch in a pass.
I im new in this job and this video's teach me a lot thanks for the time u take to make this possible
I Work for 10 years on a machine shop but manual machines were just uncomfortable to be around for me. Big respect for this guy
So beautiful to see something so big being cut that easily.
You're the bob Ross of machinist! Your videos are the most relaxing thing ever!
Another Great job Adom. Love watching a Craftsman at work
yay the advantages of being late to the party on to vid 3 and get to see from start to finish in one hit..... grate vids and great work its such a pleasure to watch some one who knows what they're doing and most of all has pride in they're work.
You are a brilliant and humble man. I love watching your work.
I had to watch the turning of the shaft again, you take craftsmanship to a new level. Great job.
I have learned so much from watching your videos. Most importantly to be patient, measure 3 times and not to rush the job.
Double checking measurements are important
Its good therapy just watching the guy work.
Ok, from a paper mill, my first thoughts were that it was a shaft from a locomotive with the gear and would be coupled to a traction motor, anyway great vid, pretty good camera work, you spoke very well, accurate and to the point, thanks.

Awesome job Adam some beautiful chips buddy. seeing you work on those bigger job's is inspiring
This makes me miss running a lathe. The shop im at now has me running a 4 axis machining center and i only get to run a lathe maybe once of twice a month. Those are some good looking chips though, looks like you know speeds and feeds like the back of your hand 👍
Abom have you ever thought to use the Cool mist unit without coolant for an air blast to keep chips of brass from flying backward off the lathe? It could be used to divert them downward into the opening for the chips! If you can adjust the pattern "Like firemen do" with the flow for coolant you can adjust it for air as well! Meaning you could have a wide pattern to catch the chips and intervene with their natural tendency of flying everywhere and direct them into the opening between the ways!
love it watching! It is much better than TV shows these days!
Thanks
You’re a true artist! All your pieces are functional art!!
Adam you have the coolest job! I am so envious.
Awesome machinist! Really enjoy watching him
wow adam thats very big machinging and not to metion a very big ticket price for a job like that. you dont want to make a mistake on that one lol. exellent job as usual adam. thanks.
I venture to say when this man sends a new pump or machine shaft to balancing analysis, it comes out ultra true!!!
Beautiful factory and machine
Beautiful piece of work with such precision amazing
Very nice work Abom, great videos. Greetings from Africa.
I could watch this all day.thank you
That Noga arm for coolant is brilliant. I might just have to do that on the Tormach because loc-line is so annoyingly hard to adjust.
Hi Adam, love the big stuff. thanks for the awesome video. Much appreciated, i have learned alot from your show.
getting a T shirt for sure.
That was cool !!!! I'm about to start a machinist class. Cool stuff.
Part 2 finally there! I love the coloring of these heavy chips.
I think your Company is Proud of having you !!!
Try to find any youtube video where theres not someone disliking it. This was cool. Adam you are a nice bloke. Ten out of ten for this.
I watch you a lot of time you work so wonderfully
Why is machining so enjoyable to watch?
Talking about machine vibrations - Where I did my machining apprenticeship, the hydraulic hole punch in the fabrication shop wasn't too far from the machine shop. I'd be running a finishing cut on some nice steel and the welders/fabricators would come along and use the hole punch. The vibrations from the hole punch would come through show up my finishing cut... it pissed me off so bad lol. Ended up pulling the fuse out of the power panel for the hole punch when i was doing high end jobs so no one could use it.... There were some yelling/arguments now and then lol.
Looks like a shaft out of a mud pump.
Awesome work.
