Currently, I'm not a machinist either; but, I'll be taking machining at my local community college here in San Antonio, TX ;-) Abom79 is the Master, all his work is incredible.
This video and the previous one are the reasons that I love your work videos. We get to see big jobs that are much larger than you do at your home setup. Thanks.
I am really enjoying this series, it's a bit reminiscent of your earlier videos. I, personally, enjoy sitting here mesmerized watching the chips fly. In fact, I would enjoy a 'boring content' video, filming nearly every moment of the machine work. Anyways, thanks for still making videos after all this time, it's always a welcome sight in my notifications. Happy new year! -CacheRAM
I certainly hope your employer appreciates your skill and experience. Its not everyone that can get handed a piece of paper with a drawing on it and told, "go make that" and bringing the product to finish without a stuff up. Thanks Adam.Another excellent Vid.
Damn thats high quailty workmanship. Motion should be extremly happy to have u man, im sure they treat u well. Hopefully u two are enjoying the shit out of that cruise, well deserved time off. Have a great new year man.
Superb results as usual - love watching your skills both at home and at work Adam. Was sure glad when they started allowing you to film at work again. You really must be pleased with all the recent improvements at your home shop, very cool how youre getting it all set up - and as ive said before what guy doesnt want acres of smooth new concrete for Christmas-? lol Happy New Year-!
Its amazing how much work it takes to make a shaft. That was an Abom sized Timken bearing! Hope to get to see the metric threading. Thanks for sharing, Adam.
I’m surprised not to see a little fight metric against imperial! It’s usually fun because both have advantages so nobody ever wins. What sucks here is having to go from one to the other. But it does not stop you from doing a good job! Well done!
Just fitted new taper bearings to my lathe , one set was made by koyo and was packaged with the inner race sitting inside the outer ring as usual but the other bearing was an skf it had a a plastic insert fitted between the outer ring and the inner race to protect the bearing surface from shock if it was dropped - first time i have ever seen it and thought it was a nice addition to a quality bearing .
Yes Adam we did enjoy it and I must commend you in getting your videos planned out for your viewers before you went on holiday hope you had a great time you and Abby happy new years
great video. im getting into machining myself very soon. i bet the information from your videos will give me some good basic knowledge to pick that up faster.
Hi Adam, i am turning large diameter toolsteel and i also had some problems with the round carbide inserts (16mm diameter). It started to chatter very easy even the meachine is very solid. I then tried to flip the holder around (so the insert points down) and reverse the spindle and this works very well. I can plunge the tool directly into the work without chatter. Mybe you could try this also since you mentioned often that these round inserts tend to chatter easily. best wishes Stephan
That Pacemaker is just the butter smooth running machine after all these years. It's so cool seeing it in action by someone who knows how to take advantage of its strengths. Keep being the good solider at work. And I've been thinking of making a sander like you got going there. Would be open to any suggestions.
wow !! great work and your commentary is always very interesting , in the time it took to watch this video there was 700 more views, you have a BIG following adam, inc a lot from australia, happy new year
Looking forward to a New Year with lots more Abom79 videos! Thanks for the many hours of enjoyable videos this year, Adam. Hope that your well deserved vacation is relaxing and refreshing.
Nice work Adam, as always! But it’s almost a shame to use Timken bearings on the Swedish meatball. Of course it should’ve been SKF! 😉 Greetings from Sweden and a happy new year!
Patrik Johansson Nah, Timken steel for the win! Some of the bearings are SKF, and others are Timken. The giant thrust bearing was made by American Roller Bearing.
Many ways to get to the same destination🙄 I have almost always roughed out in the chuck. Finished between centers on rotating equipment shafts. Max size if I remember correctly was 10 inch diameter, 4140 HT either 12 or 14 feet in length. We made our drive dogs in house and used aluminum between the drive screw and the work. In several shops it was mandatory to finish between centers. That was of course, manual lathes.
Very nice! I thought you got some MM tools from across the pond, no? probably not big enough. With your whiz kid brain converting over to inches shouldn't be a problem. I just love how those chips peel off like a waterfall. I am still amazed at how nice and sharp your drill bits are! I have some old ones I need to practice with. The drill doctor works "Okay". I forgot to mention in the cruise video. Late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and Abby and family!
You were talking about eliminating total indicated run-out and I wonder if it would be plausible to turn between centers with a lathe dog and what would be the benefits or drawbacks of this method
I'm not a machinist, but as compared to the videos from a few years ago, it seems as if the workflow has gotten smoother. Not sure if it's an improvement in Adam's skill or in his video presentation -- or both.
I've watch you over the years and you do great work. You never cease to amazing me how nice you finish off your turning projects. You seem to take real pride in your work and it shows. I have a question for you. If you could only have one type chuck-head, would you go for a three jaw or four? Seem the four jaw can get a closes round out then a three. But I am wondering your opinion.
If you are aiming for under a thou when tightening the chuck. How come you done use one of the these deal indicator that shows tens of a thou instead? Great video as always.
Adam, oddly enough, while I am skilled at indicating myself. I always enjoy watching you indicate a part in. Does that mean I am a machine nerd? Happy New Year
Im a young machinist at a small shop and do a lot of manual cnc programming mainly but you have taught me so much for my manual lathe game. Any suggested formulas or videos for speeds feeds and depth of cut on the lathe?
Mhm swedish meat balls. You are making me hungry Adam. Thanks for another year of TH-cam apprentice ship in the world of machining. Even tho i don't work with metal, or barely, its always nice to learn something by looking over the shoulders of a master of his trade. I just wish you would turn more brass, because it looks nicer than steel ;)
Hey abom, very nice work again. About the chatter issues at 28.00 or so; is it common to get chatter with such a meaty work when you are already usin a tailstock centre? Also how come there was no chatter with the same operation other end of the shaft? Didn’t affect the outcome though.👌
Great video, looking forward to the next part. What is the name of the tool that you used in this video to polish up those journals? I need to convince work to buy one of those! We usually tear off a large strip of emery and hold each end of it by hand to polish things. Cheers
hey ADAM, @17:55 into video you said you were cutting a #) degree angle? how would you measure your angle size at both shoulders? what im trying to ask is if you have a taper fit bearing or taper n e thing, how do u measure taper sizes on the smallest or larger sizes?
Hey Adam, wouldn't it be helpful to use a toolholder with less stickout, especially on radius tools as the like to chatter earlier than anything else? Just a thought, have a good time!
26:08 Why not turn an aluminium collar to go between your part and the steady rest? You put notches on the ID of this collar on opposite sides (holes drilled and then halfway machined out, like) so when you spin it off after it comes apart so you don't have to press it off.
The bearing box warning says to never spin with compressed air. How else can you have bearing races? A lot of my Navy time at sea was spent racing bearings across the machine shop. Good times.
As always, you teach us interesting process, Question: Rather than turning the shaft from one side to the other, why don't you turn it between center?. Taper? Precision ? Thanks and Happy New Year to you and family.
Adam, what brand is that red colored cutting oil you are using? Is it also good for aluminum? Even if it's not, I could use it on steel as you do. Thanks in advance for your answer...
What will happen to the original part, can any tests or comparisons be done to show the differences, can it be remade into something smaller? I know Swedish steel is good, I have a Tove wrecking bar, US steel is good, I have Marshalltown trowels, my 40 year old Bulldog shovel is still doing a days work.
I am not a machinist, by watching your video, I feel as if I have done this work. All your videos are good. Thank you.
I'm no machinist but I love watching your work. Thanks for sharing.
It may be a guy thing, but shiny steel is just purdy machinist or not.
Currently, I'm not a machinist either; but, I'll be taking machining at my local community college here in San Antonio, TX ;-)
Abom79 is the Master, all his work is incredible.
You never see you still amazed me with the wonderful work that you do. Looking forward to the finished product.

You can’t help but smile when you look at the finish on the shaft. Happy new year!!
A true master at work. Hope you and Abie are having a good time. All the best for the new year.
Great work! The level of craftsmanship you exhibit is truly inspirational!
The touch feeling of this kind of steel smooth surface after cutting is so great ,isn't it ?
To make people always want to touch it !
Damn thats high quailty workmanship. Motion should be extremly happy to have u man, im sure they treat u well. Hopefully u two are enjoying the shit out of that cruise, well deserved time off. Have a great new year man.
I hope you guys are enjoying the cruise! The long videos are always enjoyable :)
Beautiful work Adam; reminds me of my early days apprenticing on a 2460 Monarch. Thanks for showing us closeup details of every step.
Thanks for al your wonderful videos. You are a gifted machinist.
Love it Adom. Such a great finish
You do outstanding work!
Happy New Year!
Merci Abom pour vos superbes vidéos en montrant votre savoir faire .
Love your attention to detail and accuracy. Kudos. Happy New Year!
Watching you gauge the check end of that is like watching someone do sand painting or play violin... 😍
Happy holidays from Joe or so away Moline Illinois I watch your show all the time and I love what you do keep the good work up see you
Beautiful work Adam

"Hit my mark like I usually do" . . Abom . . you the boss, man!! 👌
Its amazing how much work it takes to make a shaft. That was an Abom sized Timken bearing! Hope to get to see the metric threading. Thanks for sharing, Adam.
Happy New Year - hope 2018 brings you joy with your new bbq pad and finishing setup in the new shop space.
I’m surprised not to see a little fight metric against imperial! It’s usually fun because both have advantages so nobody ever wins. What sucks here is having to go from one to the other. But it does not stop you from doing a good job! Well done!
Most of the handy tips and tricks and techniques I learnt for the workshop was from your videos! Thank you
Just fitted new taper bearings to my lathe , one set was made by koyo and was packaged with the inner race sitting inside the outer ring as usual but the other bearing was an skf it had a a plastic insert fitted between the outer ring and the inner race to protect the bearing surface from shock if it was dropped - first time i have ever seen it and thought it was a nice addition to a quality bearing .
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and I Hope That Every Day Is A Great Day For You And Yours Adam!!!
Got yer self a smartass in the shop huh? I never met one that could actually work. Great vid
Yes Adam we did enjoy it and I must commend you in getting your videos planned out for your viewers before you went on holiday hope you had a great time you and Abby happy new years
Thanks! I worked hard getting all that editing done so that I would have some uploads for my viewers.
Nice. Absolutely nice. Heve a great holiday but please post part 3 soon.
great video. im getting into machining myself very soon. i bet the information from your videos will give me some good basic knowledge to pick that up faster.
Thanks for another great video! Have a great New Year, best wishes from the U.K.
great job hitting the all the numbers as normal, happy new year to you a abby
Hope your holidays treated you well, Adam!!! Cheers!!!
happy and happy new year !! Wishing you a good thing

SKF for the win, not that Chinesium stuff
As an SKF employee (though I work in the shaft seals division, not bearings) I second that. Remember: SKF keeps the world turning!
Many ways to get to the same destination🙄

Just in case no one has ever commented on how fast you can center up a piece of work in the four jaw chuck, ! Happy New year Adam.....!!
This is so fine work it's almost _not_ _safe_ _for_ _work_ !
for my fellow metric guys; 0,04 mm oversize on the bearing journals.
Nice job again Adam,
Happy New Year
Adam I thank you for a great year of video and I just can't wait for 2018.
Great video Adam. Happy New Year
Just a little tip on your insert seating, after doing exactly what you did, I always break the center loose on the insert and then snug it up! ;)
2 weeks, hah, poor abby.
Thank you for the New Year present Adam.
Nice job Adam, Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you and Abby. I pray that GOD would be with you this year.
Good ol' Timken, builder of the Four Aces. It's amazing how long it took for some to realize the value of antifriction bearings.
Timken used to have a cartoon promoting there products using a character called Kid Friction.
Happy New Year to you and Abby.
Very nice! I thought you got some MM tools from across the pond, no? probably not big enough. With your whiz kid brain converting over to inches shouldn't be a problem. I just love how those chips peel off like a waterfall. I am still amazed at how nice and sharp your drill bits are! I have some old ones I need to practice with. The drill doctor works "Okay". I forgot to mention in the cruise video. Late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and Abby and family!
I got out right giddy when I seen part two was up.
Nice. Happy new year Adam.
You were talking about eliminating total indicated run-out and I wonder if it would be plausible to turn between centers with a lathe dog and what would be the benefits or drawbacks of this method
Happy new year from Stockholm in sweden.

If you are aiming for under a thou when tightening the chuck. How come you done use one of the these deal indicator that shows tens of a thou instead? Great video as always.
Happy new year!!!! From Germany Gerry
30 degree by hand! That's why your the professor...nice
Best wishes for a great and prosperous 2018
Adam, oddly enough, while I am skilled at indicating myself. I always enjoy watching you indicate a part in. Does that mean I am a machine nerd? Happy New Year
Happy new year !
Got a question about run out and flipping the shaft. Could you put a center in the chuck and still grab it with the jaws?
It must be cold down yonder ma friend, nice video
GREAT VIDEO !!
Happy New Year, Adam.
As Usual! Excellent work/vid.
Im a young machinist at a small shop and do a lot of manual cnc programming mainly but you have taught me so much for my manual lathe game. Any suggested formulas or videos for speeds feeds and depth of cut on the lathe?
I love. Your video angle
Happy new Year ! :)
Mhm swedish meat balls. You are making me hungry Adam.
Thanks for another year of TH-cam apprentice ship in the world of machining.
Even tho i don't work with metal, or barely, its always nice to learn something by looking over the shoulders of a master of his trade.
I just wish you would turn more brass, because it looks nicer than steel ;)
Do you do any rustproofing on work like that? Can you blue it or what can you do so all your hard work doesn't go to waste?
Hey abom, very nice work again. About the chatter issues at 28.00 or so; is it common to get chatter with such a meaty work when you are already usin a tailstock centre? Also how come there was no chatter with the same operation other end of the shaft? Didn’t affect the outcome though.👌

Cheers
It’s a crankshaft polisher. Unsure of the maker though.
I’ve always thought, bearing in mind those are harden jaws. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to always use shims in the jaws so it doesn’t leave a mark?
Where he doesn't use shims, he has only rough cut and will further machine that face.
The day a 350 pound part comes flying out of your shimmed jaws during a heavy cut you'll realize the answer to that question.
hey ADAM, @17:55 into video you said you were cutting a #) degree angle? how would you measure your angle size at both shoulders? what im trying to ask is if you have a taper fit bearing or taper n e thing, how do u measure taper sizes on the smallest or larger sizes?
Literally has nothing to do with the question. The majority of the time it is measured from the largest diameter, unless otherwise specified
Hey Adam, wouldn't it be helpful to use a toolholder with less stickout, especially on radius tools as the like to chatter earlier than anything else? Just a thought, have a good time!
Happy New Year Adam.
26:08 Why not turn an aluminium collar to go between your part and the steady rest? You put notches on the ID of this collar on opposite sides (holes drilled and then halfway machined out, like) so when you spin it off after it comes apart so you don't have to press it off.

The bearing box warning says to never spin with compressed air. How else can you have bearing races? A lot of my Navy time at sea was spent racing bearings across the machine shop. Good times.
you don't want to damage the bearing, also you will greatly decrease the lifespan of a bearing when you needlessly spin it
@@TheDutchGuy110 You missed the joke.
I hope the sun is warm and the drinks are cold wherever you guys might be.
Thank you, great job!
As always, you teach us interesting process, Question: Rather than turning the shaft from one side to the other, why don't you turn it between center?. Taper? Precision ?
Thanks and Happy New Year to you and family.
good work mate keep it up :)
Adam, what brand is that red colored cutting oil you are using? Is it also good for aluminum? Even if it's not, I could use it on steel as you do. Thanks in advance for your answer...
I have not watched the video all the way... You may not have used it in this video but I have seen you use it bunch of times.....
What will happen to the original part, can any tests or comparisons be done to show the differences, can it be remade into something smaller? I know Swedish steel is good, I have a Tove wrecking bar, US steel is good, I have Marshalltown trowels, my 40 year old Bulldog shovel is still doing a days work.
Do we get to see the bearing installed?
