I guess it's because you and me, deep inside, already knows that it will be a successfull job... no tension in watching some one else working and maybe it's also because we enjoy only the good side of this work....
Wow, concrete without sweating and watching metals chips fly, both in the same day....I didn't know that retirement was going to be this much fun. Thanks for the videos! ....13
The quality of work delivered here. If I were a customer I'd be seriously happy with this. The guys we use for stuff like this are great don't get me wrong but your work seems to be a step above.
I am not even a machinist but my mum worked in a machine shop on a press drill cutting threads on tiny fasteners for British aerospace and Boeing. I loved that place. the noise from the lathes and the smell of the machines. dude you are one of the lucky people that loves his craft and, obviously is shit hot good at it. if I get a chance to visit florid a the next time I'm over, I'm gonna try visit your shop.
That's a work of art Adam. I love the radius you put on some work. That old shaft was trashed! Great work. No apologies needed if you don't tape everything, we know you're busy. We enjoy what we get to see.
The amount of metal removal on this is kind of mind blowing to me. Not that it's a surprise; just that I haven't really thought about where massive shafts like this come from. Thanks for sharing!
Tip from a 30 plus year lathe man: put polishing paper under soft jaws with backside of paper on job finish, keeps the copper off your bearing fits and looks nicer for the inspector.
My wife was a machinist for many years . She would talk about her work but I never got to watch her work . It's fun for me to now apply terminology to the visual . As I've said before you a fine instructor, cameraman and editor. I love watching you work !
That's a beautiful piece of work! Everything you do could easily be in a museum and not look the least little bit out of place! I once helped a stepson with some plumbing in a small commercial kitchen and I'd made a mistake by one pipe size but the inspector said appearance was also important and, since it was so neatly done and looked good, he passed it. :)
The material that you present on this channel is an education in itself! the techniques used in metal work are being lost on the next generations because of "educators'" decisions to eradicate them from the curriculum. Many of today's students would rather enter a trade than go to college and these programs were traditionally taught to provide a starting point for them. Now, there are fewer options for young students to find an entry path to this type of skill. I hope that you will come out publicly in support of these programs; maybe more kids will benefit from this kind of training. Thank you for your videos, I look forward to seeing them each week.
Are you from the US or the UK? I'm not sure about American colleges but UK colleges teach BTEC diplomas which are praised for better practical aspects and for getting people into industry. Some colleges also do A Levels which are hard but get you into university quickly. In the UK as well, the representatives of industry go to the board of governors for education and say what they want students to be taught. BTECs are, like I said, known to teach practical skills but A Levels teach you to pass a test, nothing more. I did A Levels myself and I hated it, I'm doing my BTECs for engineering now and I feel I'm learning more there than I was in A Level college. I also feel more respected in BTEC college than A Level college as I felt like I was being treated like a child despite being 17/18 at the time.
Another beautiful job, Adam. Man, you make that old Pacemaker sing! I've never run a lathe that big in my whole work life. Largest I've worked was a Monarch similar to the one you have in your home shop, and usually smaller ones than that. Now my shop is my retirement income, and I have all what you would call miniature machines, since my contract work is now focused on making tiny parts in short runs. I love my work still, but miss a big lathe sometimes. Thanks for showing what you have time to do for us. It's nice that your employer lets you share some of the work in your day job. Really nice workmanship!
You do beautiful work Adam. I wish I had your talent. Don't ever apologize when your at work about not filming something your working not youtubing then.
what a fantastic job absolute work of art i know people have there opinion on things but how the hell in gods name do you get dislikes maybe if you watch candles burn then yes i suppose you wouldent like it but seriosly adam what a profesinal you are
Hey Hey , I was wondering if anyone out there finds it odd that someone could sit for hours watching these videos ?? As 4 me I can . Took machine shop in H.S. & now maybe take it up for my retirement ??? I find these vids entertaining & informative as Adam gives a short summary of where every finished piece goes in a larger machine . FINE WORK ADAM !!
Another beautiful job. And I really like the concrete coming in. Wish I had a shop like that!Now for giggles: The plural/multiple of radius in Latin (as most of our language is based on) is radii. Ray De Eye.
just for more giggles: radiuses is a valid plural in British or American english (though the romans did pluralise it as radii). My latin teacher would have thrown his chalk or board duster at you for pronouncing radii with a long "i" as the last syllable! - Back in my day (70's) British classical latin teachers insisted all "i" sounds should be short, like the "i" in bit or the "i" in radius (a short "eee" sound), they reserved the "eye" sound for the ae diphthong, like in antennae :)
I noticed that you didn’t have a chatter problem with the radius tool.was that the quality of the tool, the power of the machine and the skill of the hand feed maybe.such great skill man respect
Nice work, Adam. You make it look easy, just a mention of "a little chatter". You did a good job of making that chatter, which wasn't so little after all, just disappear. Sleeping with the fishes now. :)
Abom79 i appreciate your videos sir. I am trying to get more in depth on my machining skills to broaden my fabrication side hustle. I learn and enjoy with much of your instruction, thanks for the knowledge you give on our dying art.
Hey Adam, love the videos and I've been watching for years. I was wondering, with all the jobs you've done, i don't remember any mistakes. Might be interesting to here some stories about some oops moments. Lol keep e'm coming and I'm glad to see your shop is turning out how you want it!
Nice work you do exactly the same as me even the emery cloth trick in the rads. Shame you don't have a DRO on that machine it makes the shoulder lengths so much easier. your copper packing are almost identical to mine at work. Its so hard to find someone with your skills here in London now days.
Adam, it never gets old watching you transform a rusty irregular piece of stock into these shiny precision masterpieces! Any idea how much the final product weighed?
ABOM I have a small hobby lathe with a 4 jaw chuck and it takes me ages to get it true you are fast mate I blink and I’ve missed it lol quality videos god bless
the dimension of the rusted region is not so important. the important dimensions were edges and where the keyhole was. They had to tell him the precision of those. the rest as long as its not smaller than what is already there its good. the steps are there just to make the shaft lighter also to decrease the stress buildup on diameter shift. if those had to be pricise for some reason, then they would have to told him (they either already have the part and give it to him, or give him the dimensions) as for actual mechanical way, idk.
If you know what component goes where, and the application, you can fairly easily determine what the needed tolerances are from the component manufacturers product literature. Motor shafts are typically k5-k6 tolerances for bearings, but gearbox shafts might be m5-n6, or even tighter depending on how much torque is being transmitted. Go to the FAG Bearings website and see if they still have publication WL 00200/5 available for download, they have some examples of various types of equipment and the bearing tolerances needed. Falk Couplings has similar design guides on their website.

That poor old mill...... It really takes a beating doesn't it. Another masterpiece! I could watch this stuff all day.
There is something so satisfying about watching a perfectly machined shaft spinning smoothly.....
I guess it's because you and me, deep inside, already knows that it will be a successfull job... no tension in watching some one else working and maybe it's also because we enjoy only the good side of this work....
Wow, concrete without sweating and watching metals chips fly, both in the same day....I didn't know that retirement was going to be this much fun.

Watching you adjust the 4-jaw to take the away the run out is magical every time.
The amount of metal removal on this is kind of mind blowing to me. Not that it's a surprise; just that I haven't really thought about where massive shafts like this come from. Thanks for sharing!
The Bob Ross of Machinists does it again!
LOL!
I suggest there is much more art here!
its always amazing what you find buried inside those rusty hunks of metal Adam ! :)
Thank you for another Saturday of enjoyable learning. Have a good weekend.
When the lathe is turning but the shaft "is not" you know it is a job well done.
Tip from a 30 plus year lathe man: put polishing paper under soft jaws with backside of paper on job finish, keeps the copper off your bearing fits and looks nicer for the inspector.
+Tom Broome Never tried it but will. Thanks.
Adam, one of the few guys who can talk about 10 inch shafts for just under 20 minutes and it's still not even a little gay.
You sir are one hell of a machinist Wow Wow Wow... just beautiful!!!
My wife was a machinist for many years . She would talk about her work but I never got to watch her work . It's fun for me to now apply terminology to the visual .
As I've said before you a fine instructor, cameraman and editor.
I love watching you work !
thanks for filming even though you are busy!
That's a beautiful piece of work!

I do highly support trade skills and encourage it to all young people.
Awesome quality job by Abom/Motion.
Love that American Pacemaker lathe. Turns the big iron like nothing.
It was a pleasure to watch this job.
Pretty piece of work as usual. Thanks Adam!
Abom approved
Another cool shaft completed! thanks for sharing

Thanks for showing what you have time to do for us. It's nice that your employer lets you share some of the work in your day job. Really nice workmanship!
It's a privilege to watch you at your craft and see the superb results. Thanks.
You are good at your craft and its magical watching your vids. We learn a lot about machining from them, thank you.
You do beautiful work Adam. I wish I had your talent. Don't ever apologize when your at work about not filming something your working not youtubing then.
Adam - this is the nearest machine job that I’ve seen made to perfection for a longtime. Great job. Thanks for sharing
John (UK)
And another payday rolls around! Nice job Adam, looks like a happy customer again.
looks good abomb
Awesome work as usual!!!!!
Great work! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, incredible finish on those cuts.
I just love the shiny finish of freshly turned metal
Great job Adam , You are the man when it comes to turning heavy metal ! ..LOL..
Hell of a good job! Thanks for the video.
No apologies are necessary. Your work has to come first.
GREAT WORK & VIDEO !!!
Damn Bro! Watching you dial that shaft in on the 4 jaw as fast and accurately as you did was impressive!!! Awesome job man!
Thank You
Beautiful work Adam!
Beautiful work...your pride in producing top-notch quality shows.
Thank you Adam, most excellent job.
Hi Adam, I'm a non technical dude but love your videos. Great to seen a master at work ! Keep it up bro ?
Stunningly Beautiful work Adam, congratulations
Nice looking shaft you found hiding inside that crusty old piece of steel.
I don't know anything about machining, but that sure looks pretty :).
Neat job as usual Adam!
The finished shaft looks unbelievably beautiful, it’s so shiny and precise
Followed you for some time now and i admire the work u do, really fascinating! And such quality on the work you do! Best regards from Sweden
Stunning work again Adam thanks for sharing.
Its so good to see an watch the way you set up on a 4 Jaw. so good
Wow. wonderful job.
what a fantastic job absolute work of art i know people have there opinion on things but how the hell in gods name do you get dislikes maybe if you watch candles burn then yes i suppose you wouldent like it but seriosly adam what a profesinal you are
Perfect work Congratulation
Amazing amount of work - lot of phases.Work of art Adam. :)
Some very creative work-holding approaches.
Very nice job Adam👍🇬🇧
Great job ⚙️⚒️🎗️💯
Nice work !
A true machinist!
1:38 starts to sound like the intro to Welcome to the Machine - Pink Floyd
Thanks for sharing
Nice job Adam.
Awesome work

BRADLEY B. WILLIAMS every day I spend two hours watching adam and others this is, freaking awesome I addicted to these channels 😃
Beauty!
ATB, Robin
You the best i like you videos !!!
great work :)

What about octopuses?
Octopuses is fine in English, but I guess since its of Greek origin, octopodes would be OK too (not octopi though, unless you're an ancient Roman? :))
I noticed that you didn’t have a chatter problem with the radius tool.was that the quality of the tool, the power of the machine and the skill of the hand feed maybe.such great skill man respect
Nice work, Adam. You make it look easy, just a mention of "a little chatter". You did a good job of making that chatter, which wasn't so little after all, just disappear. Sleeping with the fishes now. :)
Totally amazing video and explanation!!.......well done, very professional!!..........
See it running beautiful
Amazing job Adam absolutely love your videos.
Abom79 i appreciate your videos sir. I am trying to get more in depth on my machining skills to broaden my fabrication side hustle. I learn and enjoy with much of your instruction, thanks for the knowledge you give on our dying art.
as always another great job
Awesome Channel. Love it.
Hey Adam, love the videos and I've been watching for years. I was wondering, with all the jobs you've done, i don't remember any mistakes. Might be interesting to here some stories about some oops moments. Lol keep e'm coming and I'm glad to see your shop is turning out how you want it!
I've shared a few on my channel.
very nice work ! Love watching your videos, I learn a lot
Nice!! Borderline art!!
Nice work you do exactly the same as me even the emery cloth trick in the rads. Shame you don't have a DRO on that machine it makes the shoulder lengths so much easier. your copper packing are almost identical to mine at work. Its so hard to find someone with your skills here in London now days.
There are loads up north in Manchester.
Adam, it never gets old watching you transform a rusty irregular piece of stock into these shiny precision masterpieces!
Any idea how much the final product weighed?
I never did weigh them
Big job for big master thanks, for teaching us
Very nice
Another fine job!
+bcbloc02 Thanks Brian
I learnnew nd perfect ideas evry day iwatch these videos
ABOM I have a small hobby lathe with a 4 jaw chuck and it takes me ages to get it true you are fast mate I blink and I’ve missed it lol quality videos god bless
What a Turn on this is :D , the dream of a Latheist .
all I know is you do great work I don't know how you get the work done and the video
Humans are pretty cool. We make stuff good.
nice skill
would not even know it was turning if it wasn't for the machine or some finger prints.. hahahahah...
Wow man very cool. Do u ever get nervous machining stuff like this, or is it same old. Id be terrified to mess that up. Great work buddy.
I sometimes do, but I kind of have things figured out now, so just pay attention and don't take too much.
Abom79 yup good point👍
Greats work mi friend
Sorry for my english - when the lubrification is necessary and when not? I mean this work, not the sex of course.
when it comes to duplicating a part, how do you determine the precise dimensions when the original is so rusted?
the dimension of the rusted region is not so important.
the important dimensions were edges and where the keyhole was. They had to tell him the precision of those. the rest as long as its not smaller than what is already there its good.
the steps are there just to make the shaft lighter also to decrease the stress buildup on diameter shift.
if those had to be pricise for some reason, then they would have to told him (they either already have the part and give it to him, or give him the dimensions)
as for actual mechanical way, idk.

Motor shafts are typically k5-k6 tolerances for bearings, but gearbox shafts might be m5-n6, or even tighter depending on how much torque is being transmitted.

Beautiful work Adam...how many job offers do you get a week?
John McDonald id say more than he can possibly ever do. From what ive seen theres a 2-3 month waiting time for him to even start a project.
I meant from the competition
"getting back on this shaft".... he he heee heeee
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
