The fancy digital thing breaks but the lathe still works if you know how to use it old school. My mate was a tool maker years ago. He spent decades operating manual lathes. Could make them talk. All done without a digital read out. You're learning as you go. Practice makes perfect. If you can get results like that now. Imagine how easy it will be in a few more years.
WOW!!!🤩 I mean Wow from every angle. plasma/laser smooth cut, Coolest Pantomime system, and it sure looks like you built or adapted your equipment. Great show and learning video. Thanks!
As "welder A" at the Warner & Swasey Co, back in the day, I use to run an Airco burnout such as that from time to time...great machine. It will malke you $$$ when the new junk is broke down and nobody knows how to fix it lol! You got the start of a great channel, I liked, I subscribed.
That's pretty cool! I never saw a pantomime setup like that. Josh Topper showed a similar machine, but it's way smaller and his used physical patterns instead of drawings.
Its old but still very useful. I have a pen attachment for my cnc plasma table so anything more complicated I can draw in cad, draw onto card and cut out with this machine.
That's a much better video without the music. Shop made tools are always a joy to use and a lot cheaper than buying. Keep making the videos and I have subbed.
Suggestion. After drilling centre bore, run the boring bar through it to true it up, thus having it run concentric to OD. It's too easy to have the bore slightly out of line using just a drill. The reamer will just follow whatever/wherever the bore is.
Yes, I don’t know why I didn’t do that here. There’s another video (can’t remember which one) where I do that and give the same explanation as you just mentioned.
@@snowballengineering It is just that you mentioned that lathe work was not one of your strong points (you have plenty of other points which I have never done). Was not sure if you knew about what I mentioned. I have commented previously about your work which I think is excellent, especially for someone as young as you. If I were in the UK and needed something done I would select you in a heartbeat. Over here in Land Down Under, I have a 3/5 tonne 4M long lathe and 2 milling machines, plus I know others who have a lot of equipment. You do very well with what you have.
Great video I’m no expert on steel machining as most of my work involves plastics. Would it have been easier to drill the billet undersized tack it to a rod to produce the taper then break loose the bore and finnish it last. Only an observation by no means a right way to do it. It’s simple jobs like this help make your life easier in the end but takes an age to get round to producing.
@@snowballengineering the cuts of the torch looks very good. I made another suggestion to add an adjustable screw to the lower part of you measuring contraption clamp. The lower part can be used to allow an adjustable screw to push up the cutter. Use a nice a bit lager adjusting screw to allow fine adjustment
Be careful of iron / steel sparks hitting your camera lens and etching the glass. Make a safety class screen out of a fridge shelve and wooden frame. Stops any camera damage when cutting welding or grinding
I really wish you would use a BBQ grill lighter instead of that little cigarette lighter. You're gonna get your hand burned one of these days. Ask me how I know!

Great space and equipment , workshops grow , the tools you make yourself are the ones that feel good to,use, great channel and best of luck.
Legend, mate ! You are a true inventor

I don’t generally do much lathe work so I don’t get the practice in. Always learning though.
Good one . My Dad had a very similar profile cutter in his structural steel shop back in the 70's . 👍
Would of been the height of technology back in them days!
In the first year of my trade I operated one of those, identical right down to the Bunch Of C?^7’s logo on the front face.
I enjoyed that a lot--your profile cutter--you have tuned that up nicely--what a cut..thumbs up and subscribed..
WOW!!!🤩

Very impressive. That pantagraph system is great! Thanks for the video.
Excellent job man, great video, keep'um coming. .
For chip breaking a rule of thumb is feed up speed down, but it does depend on material also. Great videos

I have a newer cnc plasma machine as well but this machine I use for thicker plate my plasma won’t cut. Old but still has its place. Thanks!

Another Excellent video !
Thanks for the support!

Very well done, the parts and the video.
Awesome! Another great video👍🙂
Nicely done.

That cutter is a cracking bit of kit. Cardboard template the right size and you can just copy it
Nice cones 👌

Lighting that torch is like the till from ‘Open All Hours’…
Love the videos. Can you work on volume control for the headphones users
Great video, thanks! Subscribed
This is a lot more advanced than Josh Topper's magnet-follow-tracer he recently got
Magic eyes were the next generation on from the magnet follow tracers I think.

That’s a good idea. The clamp clamps at the side of the tool but I guess I could make a little tab off the side for the grub screw.
Very interesting.
Enjoy watching the videos, thanks 1:53
You need a longer lighter. Thanks for the videos.

Takes some abuse the poor iphone. I’ll have to do something like that to protect it so it’ll last for the long run.
Is that magic eye cutter scalable as in draw a quarter size drawing and tell it to make the part four times bigger?
No, what it sees is what it cuts. As the eye and torch are mounted on the same rail and can’t move independently of each other.
For the chips to break you need a more aggressive cut.
very cool
Similar to the old BOC "minigraph" profilers...
Remember them...?
☹🇬🇧
Yes, I’ve used one of them before. This is also a boc machine but says hawk-c on it.
👍
I need a set of these made for my king pin reamers do you make any for sale
What gas /oxygen pressures were needed to cut that plate?
About 4psi propane and 50psi oxygen
Should get yourself a long handle gas lighter.
I like the excitement 😆
