LeBlond Lathe Cross Feed Nut Part 4 Finale
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- The final video for the new cross-feed nut that I am machining for a viewer that goes to his 15" Leblond lathe.
Here we finish cutting the oil grooves, and machine the face trying to copy the original part as close as we can.
After the machining we'll go back to the granite table to measure the part against the original.
This has been a good project to work on and I hope you have enjoyed following along with this one.

5-12-2023 It's a pleasure watching you with the Monarch
Those of you who will crucify every mistake should show a video of you making the exact same part so as we all can judge you!
My bro in law is a machinist. I sent him a link to one of your vids. He replied "now you know, grasshopper". Thanksgiving dinner will be fun. Thanks. Great stuff for those of us that are novices.
I'm as impressed as hell at the way you wrangle fractional and decimal inches. But every time it makes me more and more glad I'm metric.
Same here. I used to do a bit of work but our the setup was more humble than Adam's. Whenever I watch him, sometimes I have to stop the vid to comprehend his measurement values as I cannot click fast enough...
It depends on what you’re accustomed to. When you think in the halves/quarters/eighths of Imperial measure, the divide-by-ten of metric seems really clunky and arbitrary.
@@mdtdbe No, I'm not buying that. When you want better accuracy in the decimal system, you just add an extra digit. Using fractions leaves you far short of decent resolution unless youo deal in thousandths. Then you inevitably drop into the intuitive decimal system as the numerator. In other words you would say - e.g. - fourteen thou.
@@donepearce You are right. When they need more accuracy, they dont use fractions any more like 1/128 1/256 1/512 1/1024. They use thousends of inc, it is 0,001.
@@mdtdbe I have small socket set. There are some small sockets, bout imperial and metric.
Metrics are 6,7,8,10,11 and 13.
Imperials are 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8 and 7/16.
Metric system is much much more easier and more simple than imperial.
I wonder that imperial system is used anywhere in the world after year 1800.
I will say that I'm upset with your videos. Since I discovered your channel and subscribed, your videos have consumed all of my spare time. In fact, some of my work time, has become spare time and hence been dedicated to watching your videos.
Keep up the videos, you are awesome!
...it's a cruel world-!!
Same here, mate. I often wanna just have a quick view and get stuck for hours even....
I know this comment is a few years old, but I have to say I agree with you and have even more complaints. Actually, it's my wallet that has the complaints. Every time I'm watching I see a new tool I don't need but I want so I jump on eBay and start searching.
Same
Yes there’s some type of people out there that’s all they do is set and look for mistakes somebody else makes. And they’re probably no better. Doesn’t matter out of you do wonderful work. Some people watch your videos because they enjoy them they do learn off of them. And if you do make a mistake you’re not afraid to tell us about it we don’t need other people telling us nice job Adam
I have to agree with Dozer. I have spent most of Tuesday march 25th while sick . watching your videos. Very impressive ...one of my breaks I actually went out and cleaned off the lathe. time to make something.
Not only do you do excellent machine work
You handle the comments as well
Keep up the good work
And thanks
Tim Wilson Thanks Tim
Man I hope Vlad appreciates what he's getting here. This is a very complex part, and the fit and finish is second to none. I'm always impressed with what I see here.
"The person who never made a mistake, never made anything". Nice job Adam.
Very nice job as always. The only person that does not make a mistake is the one that never does anything ! Thanks for sharing .
Mike Nixon We all make mistakes Mike. I'm proud to admit I do.
Ha ha ha well said Mike....
Abom79 yeah! You're 100% right...
This was a great series. Your thought process seemed effortless as each operation was performed to perfection. Great teaching aid. Keep them coming, JB.
I'm in total agreement with this comment. Very well said.
Absolutely beautiful piece of work...even with the less-than-important error. A masterful tutorial on multiple lathe operations. Making your own radius tool...wow !! A lover of aesthetics too..placing the spanner holes 90 degrees away from the oil grooves.
I am not a machinist but have worked in precision sheet metal shop for approx 15 years. Just stumbled across one of your videos and.......now have spent 5 consecutive hours watching.....and still going! You do great work :)
All your videos are cool. I have learn so much since i discover your channel. Thanks bro.
Could watch you all day and we all make mistakes so don’t feel to bad about it mate🏴
I am a Craftsman. Pipe fitter and pipe welder fabricator. It's good to see someone who is proficient in their trade and still gets excited and enjoys what they do. Keep on keeping on man, really love what you do
Watched all 4 pats and must say, all the time you shared in measuring and triple checking the part, is something I must learn & apply,,,Thx for sharing,,awesome piece, Bear
I think it is a COMPLIMENT to you Adam & your detailed videos that people are so engaged with the process that some actually even caught the .022"/.032" error. (I didn't 🙄)
I didn't read any disparaging remarks re. the mistake.... but I DID read some peeps saying we shouldn't point out possible errors & we shouldn't query his procedures, as though Adam is so thin-skinned that he would be upset. I think he's bigger than that... 😎
Love ya big guy... keep on making these great vids, people who are passionate, like yourself, about machining will keep coming ... even if we do this kinda stuff ourselves daily !! 😂
Beats the hell outta looking at youtube videos of cats & their crazy owners 🙄😏
You are human, Humans make mistakes,... You are a professional because 1st you make far fewer mistakes then most 2nd you own up to your mistakes. Thank you for great content.
Beautiful copy and another old machine put back in running order.
Great learning video, with the step by step commentary.
Another excellent job from the third generation of the Booth machine shop. Thanks for all your hard work.
One shouldn't be ashamed to admit mistakes. If someone never made any mistakes, they never learned anything. Given how thorough, and precise you are in areas that don't even matter, shows what a great craftsman you really are. Thanks for your effort, I get smarter every time I watch.
Given the number mistakes I make , I must be learning alot !
Sir, love your videos, you are a really expert machinist, I have an old Bridgeport, and a Colchester bantam Lathe, I have picked up so much good stuff from you tube machinists...I am totally an amateur, but have done some good work.. many thanks for your videos, stay safe. Retired firefighter from England...
From your closing image, it appears your company started with grandfather, then father, and now son. May your richly talented family produce more generations of equally gifted machinists. Many thanks for your educational videos.
This bloke is a delight to watch and listen to . First and only youtube I've liked enough to subscribe to ! great work Adam --------------- bob [England}
I watched this whole video series. I was consumed by it. You are a true craftsman. Truly incredible.
Well done.
Nothing like having viewers QC a project. Always post videos before you send a project out for free quality assurance.
Looks like a fine replacement part to me! Can't let the viewers or Debbie doubters get to ya man! I am looking forward to the new shop space and if you want to build it to bolt the machines to the ceiling for faster chip removal I don't care, it is your shop you do it how you want!!
bcbloc02 you got this 100% correct Brian, the negative commenters are not 'on the ground' so to speak + building projects (in my experience) never go 100% to plan, compromises always have to be made. And as you say, if he want to bolt the machines to the ceiling, good luck to him.
Machines bolted to the ceiling for easy chip removal???.......That's brilliant Brian.
I get into it a lot with the people that piont out the typoes or maybe someone reads a measurement wrong. Maybe mention it under one post. But when its post after post that pisses me off. Some folks are just anal that way. Abom does a fine job. TRIGGER WARNING.
bcbloc02
I believe this is why Adam doesn’t use flood coolant, too damn difficult getting it back to the sump on ceiling mount machines! 🤪🤪
Excellent job as always Adam, your boy will be very pleased as we all are to conclude this series.
Thanks again!

@Dr MoriartyConstructive criticism is one thing and should be considered. Somebody putting out criticism just to be a jerk is another. Critics can be narrow minded, juvenile, and ignorant just like anyone else.
People often comment to me of the accuracy and pride I take in my job. But when I hear that, I often think of you. I don't think people would have the same opinion if I was compared to you. Even the thought that I may be compared to you, would be a source of great pride for me. Take Care My Friend.
Adam, you're a smooth operator and great in attention to details .
Your Father & Grandfather would be so pleased to see the Journeymen & professional machinist that you have become and now through TH-cam you're a mentor to many.
Beautiful project, great replacement parts, probably nicer than a factory piece. Watching you whittle that chuck if cast into that part is like watching a surgeon perform, only he's not using an 8,000lb machine to do it. I learn more every video and I can't thank you enough.
James Zivny Thanks James!
Great item... learned a lot I will never use, but helps me design better parts that real machinists like you end up making. Also the measuring and 'mistake' is very valuable to see... Thank you again for showing us so much of your craft..
Jennifer WhiteWolf Thanks Jennifer and machinists appreciate design engineers who design parts that are easily built by machinist or fabricators.
fantastic, part looks much better than old part. cant wait to see the shop extension completed.
This was really interesting - and enlightening. I had no idea this cross feed nut was this involved to machine.
Thanks for really clear explanations - I'm no machinist but I can appreciate and understand the process.
Hey Adam, thanks for producing and posting this set of videos. There are few things more satisfying than repairing a tool or putting a machine back in working order. I'm sure that Vlad will be thrilled when the part arrives.
I watched all four parts of that video because i wanted to see you cut those spiral grooves on the inside. and then you cut strait gooves. Still that little part requiered some serious work.
I can watch you work all day long. It's fun and I learn things. I wish I could say the same about some of the other folks who post. It's easy to see why you pull the numbers you do and they do not.
It is so enjoyable watching Adam work. He is a Grand Master of his trade.
Good job there, Vlad gonna be happy me think.
Adam,
Love your channel. You are inspiring. You take the time to explain your thought processes and include set up, measuring, choice of tools, etc. Great.
The reproduction is better than the original. Excellent work.
Adam thank you for taking time to do these videos.
Nobody is perfect Adam but cool that you can acknowledge such a minor flaw. In my line of work, mistakes are often life or career ending so we pay very close attention to the mistakes made to learn from them and keep each other safe. Love this channel and all the education that is gained from it. Take care man👍
That was one of the most instructive videos you have ever done.
+ted sykora Thanks Ted
Another interesting video. Lots of different measurements and tool set up. I'm starting to get a little jealous of all your cool tools. Good work Abom and thanks for the time showing to us.
Great series Adam. Nice job. Thanks for sharing. regards from the UK
Very skilled work. Excellent.
Just been binge watching every one of your videos. Just caught these 4 and I am captivated by your talent and transparency and the pride you take in everything you do. You, my friend should be a machinist/toolmaker instructor. Maybe when you retire. Great fun watching you videos Adam. Ron CT
These 4 parts have been interesting, educational and entertaining. Thanks.
Thanks brother
Very nice job Adam.
Very nice, Adam. I really liked this series. Have to say, because I do so many jobs that are parts runs of the same part, when I get a one off job like you had here, I get kind of excited to do it. The one off odd ball jobs are my favorites.
Pleasure watching you work.
dcw56 I have to say they are mine too. I have never liked production runs very much.
I have been waiting for a good while to see how you were goin to cut those spiral oil grooves. guess it is not necessary good work man
Good work.. know nothing about machining but looks legit to me.. perfect example of do what you love then figure out how to get paid for doing it ... keep the videos coming
Really cool Adam! I have made parts with spiral oil grooves in the past, large bronze bushings for a pressing machine. It was done in a CNC lathe, feeding a grooving tool at anywhere from 2 to 4 inches per revolution! Quite the pucker factor on that.
Good job, looks like some great parts. Been a really fun project to watch and learn from.
Patrick McClintock yep had to make that happen on a manual lathe. If it's been done I'd need someone to show me.
Another great video. Learn something every time. Thank you, Adam!
Watching your videos give me a new and wonderful perspective of the work I do. You use the process of “indicating” to center your turned work. I am a potter working with wet clay on a spinning wheel! What a difference! You inspire me to greater control and “precision” in my own craft! You are an artist buddy and an eloquent one at that!
I am thankful to you for bringing us into your shop and sharing your skills! thank you.
Wow Adam, Super clean and very good instruction. Thanks for showing how it's done!!
The skill displayed here... Just amazing!
A great video, thanks so much for posting!
I avidly watched all 4 sections, your work and planning are a priceless lesson and I love your presentation and general manor. Very glad I found your channel.
thanks for the different camera angles. 👍
Hi Adam, started watching your video a week ago and i must say i enjoy the way you describe all the details of your projects, very informative, many thanks
Good series Adam, thanks! I had never seen scratching done before and when you showed the wider perspective of what you were doing, the light came on for me, so thanks, I learned a new skill!
Very nicely done,excellent narrative.
Thanks for all the commentary on the way and why your maching the many different parts. It is an invaluable education in Machining, GREAT JOB!
I really like watching your videos. They are extremely informative and somehow relaxing.
Fantastic results ! Thanks for showing us how !
Thank you for the explanations as you go.
When they made those parts, there was probably way more variation between parts than the one you made. Great job.
Adam nice job on the replacement part.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your machining videos Adam. I was also surprised and enjoyed seeing your trips to Ft. Gains and Ft. Morgan. I work at one of their sister forts, Ft. Macon, on the coast of North Carolina. If you ever make it up this way I'd love to show you around the place.
Paul Terry Thanks Paul! If we do make it up there we'll let ya know.
Love this channel. Just started getting heavily into it. Just bought my first little mini lathe and this is really taking my interest. Great content. Thanks for sharing.
Great Job Adam, Greg.
Nice looking result. Hopefully that will get that 15" Leblond back up and running for your viewer.
Very good job top class finish keep vids coming.Take what all the know alls say with a pinch salt,just do what's best for you.good luck.
Nice job, great series of videos. I like the calm and unhuried approach you have in your work. Give yourself a pat on the back.
Love the end result!! Great job Adam and thanks for bringing it to us!
Brian Streufert Thanks Brian!
I watched all 4 vids ... great to see the workmanship and craft that goes into this piece :-)
I really enjoyed this project, thanks! Good luck with the addition, I'm sure it will turn out great.
You are very intelligent and make excellent videos.
+George Geller 👍🏻
Sounds just the opposite of what another viewer said! 😆👍🏻
Great job as usual, Adam. Really looks good. I love watching you and some of the other youtube guys doing a threading
job. I most always learn something from all of you guys. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Beautiful part Adam. Really enjoyed watching you make that part and learned something in the process!!
I have one of those digital readout son my quill.It’s twenty five years old. I bought it at the same time I bought the Mitutoyo 3 axis KC dro.Both work flawlessly.Great investments.
Awesome work! Yep great videos. Thanks for sharing
Nicely made video series on this nut.
A pleasure to watch you work sir. Very enjoyable series of videos.
This is been an excellent workmanship. Neat & Precise work and flawless too, Sir. I feel that the broken part's height as compared to the new one is 9/10 Thou over is because of the air-gap in the broken joint. Therefore, what is 9/10 Thou (under) difference comes out to be dimensionally exact. Thanks Sir for the video. I wish you best of Luck for the coming projects.(New Delhi, INDIA)
Nice work and a great project to share.
Thank You, Adam !!!
As for the oil hole: Clamp the old part together with a bolt,washers,and a nut,make a nut to fit the threaded end,tighten it and make a mark where the hole is,take the nut off, drill a hole it ,put it on the new part and drill through. Leave the "0" mark for him to mark on top when it is installed.
Amazing work, I am just a hobby guy..Had a paying job that I did today on the lathe. Wish I would of seen this video series before hand. Wow, learned a lot. keep em co
ming.
Awesome work, thanks for sharing.
Damn. I watched the first episode and I was hooked. Such precision. I work in software where the precision is the same, just with code. But the part that got to me was the spanner holes. OK, **it's for a wrench to tighten it**, yet you took the time to center and check over and over that it was within a thousandth. Me? I'd have grabbed the 3/8" craftsman hand drill and punched a couple holes... I'm impressed by your care and precision to create such a perfect replacement part. You are an artiste' sir!
HI Abom79 you say you enjoyed making this part i enjoyed watching you make this part well done give us more vids like this
thanks for explaining the mistake. I just signed for school so I have not touched an indicator yet so when I saw 32 I was not sure if you were subtracting 10 for a reason that I was not aware of. anyway, I wish i could spend a week od hands-on before I go to school. the first 50-70% of the class is safety and programming CNC mill and lathe. I figured it is worth going back to college before buying more CNCs for my hobby of making stuff.
Good Series Adam... A Learning experience, as well as fun to watch...!
