Hey, I have the same W/T radial arm drill press. It is truly a beast, couldn’t imagine having a shop without it, the table t-slots make clamping big work a snap. When I bought mine from the Navy as scrap, the quill drive shaft was destroyed. I called Delta, who owned the Walker Turner brand through acquisitions. I got the parts dept and explained what I was looking for and the parts guy said hold on, the phone came back with a different guy. He asked for the serial number, which I gave, he immediately said that serial number range was delivered to the Navy in the 1950 something, and confirmed that I was looking for the quill drive shaft, he asked do you want MT-3 for a Jacob’s 33 or something else. I said the 33, he said I think I have 3, let me go check. This was all off the top of his head, he came back and said he did have 3 and how many did I want. Didn’t want to be greedy and only got one, he said “let me check the price”, said the last update was in the 60’s so the price would be about $15.00 plus shipping. I got the part wrapped in cosmoline and vapor paper, wrapped in layers of oil cloth. I bet it hadn’t seen the light of day since the 50’s. One of my favorite tools.
I know you had a comment last week that said your introductory music was a problem, but I ,for one ,always liked it. And I , for one , missed it this week.
It's become a signature music clip for his channel for sure, along with the 3 generation family photo at the end. Episodes aren't the same with out these 2 ingredients.....and the black thumb. Lol
I'm not a machinist but I love to watch you work. I am fascinated with all your machines and procedures. You are a wonderful teacher by explaining how and why you do what you do. I've really learned a lot about this important skill. I am an "old school" kind of guy so I really enjoy manual processes rather than CNC.
This is one of TH-cams BEST vids of the year as far as I am concerned. This is EXACTLY why I have been watching ALL of your vids for two years. Nice project, well narrated, moves along at a great pace. Very interesting to witness the project from sketch to processing. Can't wait for the finish. Exceptional work. I am a woodworker, not a machinist, so I enjoy watching a craftsman in another trade sharing his thought process and tips along the way. Thank you very much.
Enjoy all your videos Adam, but I will say IMO this is the best content on this channel in a long time. I know you really enjoy this type of work as well. Excellent job in every way. Thanks. I do quite a bit of machining both at work and at home and following your content the last several years has helped me so much.
Adam, your an inspiration to the younger generation with your attention to detail, accuracy, cleanliness and safety, I just love your work ( an Old retired Millwright from England) stay safe fella😷🤜🤛🛠️
19:30 that grooving tool seems to work way better than I expected. Tbh my first instinct was to just go to the rotary table, since the long holes are going to be milled on it anyway, but that tool impressed me.
Adam, thanks so much for demonstrating the different ways a part can be machined, and the different cuts that can be made with a lathe. This is wonderful.
You explain yourself very well I recently found your videos and they are very interested I’d love to learn Machining some day just for a hobby. I’ve been a lifelong metal worker I’ve never tried machining
The difference between "gray" and "ductile" iron showed in the swarf Adam produced. He had a good number of almost steel like chips and a little powder. "Gray" iron would have produced very few distinct chips and LOTS of powder. The difference between the graphite nodules in "ductile" the and graphite flakes in "gray" is pretty stark.
Nice work. Another plus to using those brazed carbide tools is that you can re-sharpen them, which is a money saver over having to replace expensive inserts once the edge is gone.
After 5 years, my brother's back at work - he's doing pretty much the exact same job in the same building - but for a different company ! Being a daily commuter and keeping the car off the street, means bringing it in and shutting the tatty wooden gates. For over a year, these infrequently used gates have been propped shut with bricks ! During his first day at work yesterday, I made an effort to do away with the bricks and fix the bolting mechanism - and that meant some fixtures on the ground for the bolt to extend into in between. So it's 32 years since I did any electric welding. This time using a welder I've not used before and welding rods I don't remember - working on outdoor metal having a good layer of rust ! Being flat on the ground, there was nothing to clamp the 'negative' terminal to - so I found a bit of angle iron with a bright end on it and clamped to that. With the bright end near the rusty stuff on the ground, I used that to strike an arc to tck-weld the angle iron to the ground - purely to provide something to clamp the negative to ! To top off my difficulties, I was welding thin metal to thick metal. The result is far from pretty but at least functional !
I can appreciate the manual lathe work you do on your equipment as I worked a very small lathe for years with no DRO or much measuring equipment. The tool set up was simple and done by feel mostly. I miss using the manual lathe. It’s what I learned on. Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷
I just completed restoration on my Walker-Turner radial arm drill. Great tool. Installed a vfd, which really made that 55 year old motor a new machine.
This is going to be one of the few vids of yours that don't put me to sleep. Idk why but the sound of iron being machined isn't as soothing as other metals.
Always love your videos thanks for sharing! I probably would have become a machinist had youtube and you making these videos had been around when I was younger.
Damn. When you said you were going to measurement to so see how parallel the bandsaw was cutting, I thought we might get to see the newly-recalibrated granite plate in action.
Another good reason to use the braised on insert for cast iron is hard spots. It is common for cast material to have hard spots that can damage tooling.
A nice new part to replace the old brittle casting. Looks like a winner in my book. Beautiful Job Adam. I'm sure the owner will be satisfied with the results. Just lack the mill work. Take Care and Stay Safe. Bob
That part looks like it would make a good flat-belt pulley for something over at Keith Rucker’s shop! 😂 (and that’s not a bad thing - he’s got lots of interesting vintage machines over there!)
One of the things i like to do with my scuff pads is cut them into about 2”X2” or 2”X3” pieces so i get the most out of a sheet with out too much waste Try it I think you will like it
Adam: To repeat what was inferred below, Tom Lipton calls that face grooving tool a TREPAN. You might think about investing in a degaussing tool. They are in-expensive and easy to use. Takes that magnetism right out. You can also magnetize with it. Hope to see you at the Bar-Z. Jon
For roughing or finishing a face cut (trepan), I would have set my compound up 90 degrees to the face! Instead of feeding the whole lathe carriage to do your cutting, I use just the compound for feeding to the correct depth, with the carriage locked down secure for max rigidity for the job.
Very impressive and precise work as always, a real pleasure to watch. You spoke of the quality of chips you get from your braised on tooling, and that made me wonder, how to you collect, store, and recycle all of your metal waste?

Adam I'd love to see more of your layout drawings when you do projects and jobs. That is an art in and of itself. Keep up the great work!
I like the Lars avatar
Adam, I agree I found myself wanting to know more about how you layed out the part on paper
I see im not the only one
Best machinist on youtube. Wish we could get more of this type of content.

Lathe projects are definitely my favorite type of video.
AVE turned me toward your videos a few years back and I'm glad he did as I truly enjoyed watching your content. Keep up the good work!
I just want to see that i love to look your videos, you are an excellent teacher as well as a very good craftsman. Greetings from Thailand.

Great job Adam, brings back memories of my 45 years of being a machinist/ tool maker. I do miss it......some what
Wow. That bandsaw leaves a better finish than some of the lathe facing cuts I've done.
Quality machining, commentary and filming. Thanks
Saw cut finish was beautiful...! Just a few tweaks....! Great Job...!
These are my favorites, when Adam helps out a fellow craftsman.

content like this is why I watch this channel, THANK YOU.
Great work man, thanks again for making this part for me!
Hard to believe how well Adam's tools cut. I need to to go to tool school.
The rest of us dig through the garage looking for stuff, he just makes it
Adam, your an inspiration to the younger generation with your attention to detail, accuracy, cleanliness and safety, I just love your work ( an Old retired Millwright from England) stay safe fella😷🤜🤛🛠️

I hope you put the Abom stamp on the part Adam. Posterity demands it😄
Adam - Watching you work the Lathe is like watching an artist create paint -- you are truly a gifted craftsperson.

Adam, thanks so much for demonstrating the different ways a part can be machined, and the different cuts that can be made with a lathe. This is wonderful.
A solid video Adam. Really great to see the basics explained with context and detail👍 Top job dude.
Wow, that bandsaw makes a lovely cut!
Canadian made I believe.
Nice piece of work, I was amazed during the slow motion capture when cutting the internal relief on how much fine dust is given off.
Really enjoy this instructive lathe work Adam
Somebody is having fun 👍👍👌 great job 🔥 Ken Machine NC 😊
A cup of coffee, with her homemade biscuits, your video, a sunny Sunday and what could go wrong.
Nice work Adam, a pleasure to see manual machining up close! Looking forward to the milling!
Wow, that bandsaw is incredible. The surface finish looks great
You explain yourself very well I recently found your videos and they are very interested I’d love to learn Machining some day just for a hobby. I’ve been a lifelong metal worker I’ve never tried machining
This guy by far is master of his craft.
No intro music? I love your intro music! Thought my headphones crap out 😄
That ductile iron sure machines nicely. Thanks for sharing Adam.
I am sure that is Dura-Bar. Excellent material.
Doesn't it piss you off with all these experts passing judgement i wish i knew 1/50th what you do and know, keep up the excellent work.
Those closeups are so close I can almost feel the chips lodging in my beard. Great camera work, Adam.
Thank you very much.
Nice video as always.
Stay safe and healthy.
Kind regards from Germany.
Hello Adam,
Cool show tonight... very relaxing watching the turning... See you on part two.
Take care.
Paul,,
Sehr gut gemacht!! Mach weiter so!!👍👍👍
Genau!!!
Good video damn that saw cuts clean! Keep up the good work!!
Good choice to use ductile iron, much less brittle than cast iron. Enjoyed video as usual.
The difference between "gray" and "ductile" iron showed in the swarf Adam produced. He had a good number of almost steel like chips and a little powder. "Gray" iron would have produced very few distinct chips and LOTS of powder. The difference between the graphite nodules in "ductile" the and graphite flakes in "gray" is pretty stark.
I'm curious why they didn't just use mild steel?
Wow what a nice sawcut!
Awesome work Adam. Great video. Super smooth job. Thank you for sharing.
Nice meat and potatoes project. Enjoyable knowing your customer gets to watch his part get machined on TH-cam.
Letting the chips fall what may I find most appealing.! Thank you for sharing the update.!
You sir, are a master! I know very little about machining, but I love watching you create and repair things.
Nice work. Another plus to using those brazed carbide tools is that you can re-sharpen them, which is a money saver over having to replace expensive inserts once the edge is gone.
you can sharpen inserts, too.
@@CM-xr9oq Agreed but you lose the original geometry that the manufacturers have spent a lot of time and money perfecting.
sheesh , reading the comments is funny as ....everyone`s an armchair expert huh .hehe. Good work as always Adam, can`t wait for the next instalment !

Outstanding. Carry on...
Simply gorgeous work as always.
The broken end of your milling tool looks like it would make for a good can-opener. Love your videos!
Greetings from (the metric) Germany. Really enjoying your Work! Measuring in inches takes getting used to.
I can appreciate the manual lathe work you do on your equipment as I worked a very small lathe for years with no DRO or much measuring equipment. The tool set up was simple and done by feel mostly. I miss using the manual lathe. It’s what I learned on. Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷
My about tab has info which will help you stay safe! Stay safe!
Great job Adam, awesome camera work too!! Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👋👋👍👍

nice project
Good job! Nice video as always!👍
That is a happy little part 😊😊😊
Was that said in a Bob Ross voice?
@@daveash9572 you bet ya!

Amazing work Adam keep it up 👍
missed the lathe vids :) God job as always Adam. Looking forward to the next one
I can't believe how satisfying it is to watch the parts being indicated in!!
Love the show
Great work thank you for the step by step tutorial. Can't wait for the next video!
LOL!! id be there for 6 months trying to straighten that iron out in that lathe, you have it mastered great vid Abom
11 thumbs down as I watch and I am wondering what they don't like about it... bless their hearts...
If it's any like me it's from watching in bed 😅 I've dropped before gone back to a video and found a thumb down only quick to rectify it ofc :)
Great video,,,,,like your quick review of each process. Quality makes it a pleasure to watch,,thank you !
Always love your videos thanks for sharing! I probably would have become a machinist had youtube and you making these videos had been around when I was younger.

You are The Man of Chips, Thanks
Always love to see trepanning, you don't see it too often
Excellent job
beautiful cut from the saw!
I love watching this video on how you made this park very interesting
Nice work Adam
Another good reason to use the braised on insert for cast iron is hard spots. It is common for cast material to have hard spots that can damage tooling.
wow! beautiful cut. such skills @@
Looking good, almost looked like that grooving insert had a little magnetism going on there also.
Probably caused by the heat being generated.
A new piece is better than a repaired part.
That is a gorgeous band saw
great work Adam ! Great choice on the tooling .. I use those as well on cast and they work awesome .. ENJOYED !!
Great job!
Nicely done
Just became a patreon! :D
Very good.
A nice new part to replace the old brittle casting. Looks like a winner in my book. Beautiful Job Adam. I'm sure the owner will be satisfied with the results. Just lack the mill work.
Take Care and Stay Safe.
Bob
It must be nice to have a well-equipped workshop. The best tool there that I haven't got is SPACE ! LOL
That saw cuts a beautiful cut a lot better than mine.
That part looks like it would make a good flat-belt pulley for something over at Keith Rucker’s shop! 😂 (and that’s not a bad thing - he’s got lots of interesting vintage machines over there!)
He's got so many vintage machines that I'd bet he would have to start a website just catalogue them all.
OUTSTANDING, thanks for the video😎😎
One of the things i like to do with my scuff pads is cut them into about 2”X2” or 2”X3” pieces so i get the most out of a sheet with out too much waste
Try it I think you will like it
Thanks sent from Wapak.
29:00 I guess noticing such details makes a good machinist
