Every single update just puts a smile on my lips. Love the channel and the content you put out. Why this isn't on TV is beyond me. It should be shown in classrooms to inspire kids and to show them the value and satisfaction of an honest days work.
Just another vote of thanks for putting these videos online. They are a really fantastic resource and I cannot believe how much I am learning from your experience. Judging by how much kit I feel I need since watching your videos, must be doing wonders for sales of engineering tooling and measuring around the world :-).
I watch your advertisements because I value the wisdom and knowledge you share You show the brilliance of accurate measurement before any metal is removed. Others less knowledgeable might assume material surely needs to be removed sice the bearing won't fit - according to the customer. Don't assume anything!!!!
I stumbled across your videos and it made me miss the days of working in a big machine shop, I left to pursue other things, but I did a lot of the same stuff you did (shafts, pumps, bearings) It's always good to see another human that really enjoys what he does and this has inspired me. I'm going back into this field and your videos helped.
I don`t have a TV, because of all the crap. This is what it`s all about. Thank you very much for uploading videos and giving me the opportunity to learn from a pro.
People used to complain that the potential of TV was being wasted, but Keith and many others are making TH-cam into what TV COULD have been, a great educational tool. I salute them for that!
Kieth, Your tip of centerpunching a cut line with a series of dimples is sheer genius! You have made my day with another great tip. I am going to ration watching this series of videos just because I COULD sit on my butt all day and watch you work BUT I need to get something done here too. Great video!
Mr. Fenner, TH-cam recommended this video. I decided to watch and immediately my jaw dropped. You are an incredibly skilled machinist. I've been machining as a trade for 20 plus years. I will subscribe and am sure learn from you. Keep up the good work and thanks for uploading!
Keith, just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make your videos. I have become quite addicted and very much appreciate the quality of video and editing.
Keith I Hope That You Enjoy Your Work As Much As I Do Watching You, Wishing I Had That Talent. You Must Have Fun , Because That Is An Art That Seems To Have A Lot Of Satisfaction. I Have Watched All The Shaker Vids And with Great Pleasure I Have To Say Thanks For The Vids
Another great video/episode of the Keith Show! One tip: my friend made a center punch out of an old/dull tap. He ground off the teeth and then ground the tip to a point. That sucker works super,.
Nice Keith. So you will mount the boring bar in the chuck with a live center at the tail stock, then bore the non-rotating tubing with the using the carriage feed. Neat stuff. Looking forward to more.
Hurrah another video! A tip for cutting thick steel with a torch is while you are center punching the cut line, give the corner edge a hit with a cold chisel. This will raise the metal just a little and when you start your preheat, this raised metal will get to cutting temp much quicker, you can start your cut a lot sooner saving both time and gas. I like to also run some soapstone over the centerpunch marks , this makes them super visible.
Hello Elizandro, Thanks you for the comment, everyone should think about their own safety while running the machines they operate. Keeping, what I call, a healthy fear! In cold climate, during winters I wear tight long sleeves, making sure I have no frayed holes or tears. I'm glad there are safety suggestive videos out there, on TH-cam. I create my videos to share my 37 years of experience and if you grasp the proper sense of safety, you should be fine. ;{)-----
I agree Toly....I was apprenticed to a fine old gentleman who was a former flight engineer on a B-26 and became a machinist there after...The learning experience was the best time of my life..If I only had a nickel for every time he told me to think solid you darn hippie kid I'd be a rich man today..He could make almost anything with the most basic shop tools..including the shaper that I only saw used by him in the 25 years I was there.
I stumbled across this video. I did enjoy it and there are a few things I could definitely learn from you. btw you have some pretty nice machines from what I could see. I think I'll be sticking around to see what else you'll upload.
You sir are a true craftsman...machinist, this is a lost skill that was so prevalent during WW II....men like you built the machines and tools that won the war and built this industrial machine called America. You are a true and smart craftsman..!!! well done, Great vid r o and great work. !!!
Nice work Keith, glad to see you using the cutting torch by hand again. Not that I am against the plasma but something about nice flame cuts by hand :>
I love your videos! your tooling is just amazing, the way you utilize your lathe and pimp it out to do a specific job is super cool. I have not seen in any of your videos a tour of what all is on the shelf above your lathe where you keep your tailstock drill chuck and quick changes tool holders and various centers. Any chance of a close up of that and possibly a description of what's there and why, prefered tools and favorite go to goodies, hope that's not asking too much for the future, thanks!
I love your signature ;{)----- That's all you did;) I have a small lathe and milling combined HQ800, and I can not afford arosage fountain or flood machine. Thank you for your precisions.
I'm glad you put the note about the face-shield in there. Wearing one, kept what was a severe injury in it's own way, from becoming even worse. I didn't need plastic surgery after my accident, but my face-shield needs replacing. :)) I even made a stupid video about it. "Why I haven't made vids lately."
Haha - oops, my bad, sorry! Thx for reply and I'll look closer next time. I guess it was a sort of 'conditioned response' seeing a chuck key sittin' there :). Great work sir - I'll be watching your material a lot more, thank you.
Well in the winter I work in long sleeves that are tight and not loose or hanging. I find that the camera makes the beard seem closer than it is in real life, to some danger, believe me I'm the last person that wants’ it to get caught, as I have gained more experience, I have less tendency to cram my face right into my work, to see what’s going on. I will fold and band it if it becomes too long for the project at hand. I love the concern and thanks for the comment! ;{)-----
It's a trade with no real door with and enters here sign on it, now that Technical schools are closing because the funding has gone elsewhere! A lot of hobbyists buy machines that have been retired and sit in used tool houses, EBay and Craig’s list. Clean them up and start practicing with the information found on the web, TH-cam and owner’s manual. There are a lot of guys out here that are just as much interested in sharing as those who want to learn. ;{)-----
For the most part I'm in your camp on this, except for trades. Watch all the machining vids you want, but until one runs one under the watchful eye of an experienced master, one will NEVER get all of the skills required.
Rubbish!!! People like you are dangerous and cut body parts off.A Machine Shop is a class room.I am a union trained toolmaker,Trust me,you and those of your ilk are dangerous to people like me.
Exactly. Nothing Is happening in the classrooms. They eliminated trades in schools long ago and children are being left behind. You are either academic material or your future Is your own responsibility; no one else's.
If I was machining hot roll or some real out of round material I would have skimmed the outside first. Thanks for your comment and to skim it, is to make it 100% true and that is why you learn to do that. The set up I was using was closer than that needed without being to nit picky, for a non rotating part. ;{)-----
One of the best displays of what safety glasses can do for you was in the personnel office of a factory where I unsuccessfully applied for summer work back in high school... Photos of ugly-assed guys with facial bruises and ear-to-ear grins holding up their busted safety glasses which had just saved their eyes... Cal-OSHA's "Convincer" with the pictures of punctured eyeballs was a close second...
Keith,been watching your vids for awhile.I am a disabled ex-machinist but still try to make things when I'm up to it.As for their +000/-.002 tolerance.....Why wouldn't you do a light knurl and turn the OD back down.I would think it would still leave more than enough surface are over the bearing area.Keep up the great videos!
In the can is sulfur based cutting oil and on the ways is way oil. Some chucks only have one square drive to tighten the chuck and the ones with three are for convenience, sometimes you get the need to check them all but one should do the job. Also one may close the part in the jaws closer than the others. ;{)-----
It was challenging at first, but after you get use to switching hands it cool! I had no problems with the Clausing too. If your a good free hand mill operator you can easily switch hands for the lathe also, just like switching your stance on either side of the knee. ;{)-----
Home depot has some stuff called dark thread cutting oil, I was going to pick some up next time Im in the area. With what little tinkering I do that should last me 10 years. I appreciate you answering my question.
Hi Mehmet, I wasn't sure if you were asking if it was hard to do the job in the video or it was a hard job making the video of the job. Anyhow I can tell you that both are challenging and gaining a little bit of experience with each project helps build the confidence and skills of the next. ;{)----
Thanks for the comment! Really! Like I have stated in the past videos If spit out, slang or nick names or miss call a tool or etcetera, jump in and keep me inline. I do see the importance in one needing to look it up or reference to shop for one! ;{)-----
Cool, another series! First time I've seen you use a cutting torch, glad to see having the plasma cam didn't make you get rid of it! Really looking forward to this series since I've never seen line boring done in the lathe before. Quick question: How do you work it with your customer when you need to buy special tooling, like a boring bar, for their project? Is the entire cost added to their bill or is it shared, assuming you own the tooling after the job is done?
Good video and what type of lubricant are you using in that can with the brush? Are you using way oil on the lathe slides? I always thought that you should tighten the chuck scroll by using the three slots provided but it looks like you are only using one.
No, I have never had a problem with hands & grime, but I do wash them when need be. they do hold stains from time to time depending on what I'm working on and I have to use crack cream sometimes, because I dry them out from washing quite q bit. ;{)----
YAY ancient Colchester Student ! Am I right in thinking the start/stop handle also has the position to short the motor connections to effect braking ? Oh, nice workshop!
Enjoyable vid - as an old machinist I identified all way thru. BUT - spotted a real 'naughty' at 26:12 ..... chuck left with key in place!!! I guess we've all done it but always bothers me to see that! Nice bit of torch cutting BTW. :)
Great videos! In the beginning, you show some torch marks that you used to take out some warp. After heating it, do you apply pressure in order to make it move into alignment, or?
Chris, thanks for the comment, but look closely, you'll never see the chuck wrench in a lathe chuck in my shop but I do leave it in the lathe chuck that was modified for my weld position er for handiness, that has no centrifugal force at all! LOL ;{)-----
Thanks for adding your comment on this subject, I'll try the chisel trick next time, I would have smeared in some soap stone if it was right there handy. ;{)----
It was laying in the parking lot next to my truck when I was loading my purchase and I grabbed it, Had to laugh when I got back to the shop and saw it said Employee's only! You know the tape OSHA approved, modified so you can't get hurt or hurt others! ;{)------
Hi Keith, I've recently found your channel and I find it fascinating. I watch tubalcain's videos so I've got a good understanding of what's going on but your videos show it being used in a real & practical way which is fantastic. Weird question though - could you show the working of the brake handle on your lathe (which slow the chuck down when you've finished). I'm curious! Cheers :)
17:59 "Have carrier bearing follow[ing] the boring bar" ... Wow that is so smart Keith. Question; Your steady rest, is that something you custom made or is there a manufacture you got it from? Thanks!!
Thanks for the comment! And yea that is the name of the game, sometimes! love it when it's a combo of machining and welding or welding then machining. ;{)----
It was on one end of the shaft, the tolerances were called out by the manufacture of the bearings, not the manufacture of the equipment, I made a note of what they were in writing, the stock size of the shaft, .001" under that and going into the sand & gravel pit, not really even making a full revolution I saw it not that important. ;{)-----
Hooray for a new series! Quickie about the advertising- do you get shafted if we click "skip ad" after the 5 seconds, is it better to let it run to the end, does it even matter? I hate advertisement but am happy to let them run and ignore them on your clips if doing that helps you out.
I had noticed to high rub areas where the bore of the bearing was making contact, and very clear that they were what was causing most of the problem so I hit those two areas without working the whole diameter. ;{)-----
It didn't seem overly effective - is it out of adjustment ? With the one I used, I think it was reckoned that even at top speed (1200rpm?) it could stop the chuck in half a revolution. Ours hasn't got a brake but a clutch instead - so the motor continues to run.
gostei ai do seu trabalho com o micrometro eu tambem vou atuar nesta área de torneiro mecânico é oque mais gosto de fazer ,, meus parabéns muito lindo seu trabalho ja me escrevi no seu canal do youtube ok
Hi there, first of all thanks for the vids, great job, second a question for you, can you tell me the name of the snap gauges you are using to measure the sleeve of the bearing? I am in Europe and cannot find that here, thank you very much
I use; dark sulfur based cutting oil, popular names are Hercules and Ridge. on the steels and stainless steels and I use Alumtap for the aluminum. ;{)-----
Thanks!! Very well done. Learned a lot. There are always, always sharp shooter Sunday morning quarterbacks about stuff like this. It appears they forget that it is true 6+6=12 but so do 7+5. Again, Thanks!
And how was your experience with TOS? They come from my country and i'm kind of surprised after a recent little google search how much of them ended up in the states.
Every single update just puts a smile on my lips. Love the channel and the content you put out.
Why this isn't on TV is beyond me. It should be shown in classrooms to inspire kids and to show them the value and satisfaction of an honest days work.

I have no idea what I just saw, but it was awesome! Thank-you. Always great to see a craftsman at work.

I enjoy the music you add... it makes your machining operations engaging and suspenseful.

Another great video/episode of the Keith Show! One tip: my friend made a center punch out of an old/dull tap. He ground off the teeth and then ground the tip to a point. That sucker works super,.
I have to confess that watching you guys working with imperial units makes sense.
Not.
I like the hole in the wall for a shaft to pass through :-) (At the end of your lathe)
you did a good job with that big request in your small shop.
hi I like the way you fast forward thru all the noise but still show how you make things great video
Nice Keith. So you will mount the boring bar in the chuck with a live center at the tail stock, then bore the non-rotating tubing with the using the carriage feed. Neat stuff. Looking forward to more.

Nice work Keith, and thanks for the snap gage tip!
Great tip on the snap gauge...I've always hated those things....maybe I'll give them another chance !!
I wish my jazz guitar teacher would have been as open and in depth as you are. :)
I agree Toly....I was apprenticed to a fine old gentleman who was a former flight engineer on a B-26 and became a machinist there after...The learning experience was the best time of my life..If I only had a nickel for every time he told me to think solid you darn hippie kid I'd be a rich man today..He could make almost anything with the most basic shop tools..including the shaper that I only saw used by him in the 25 years I was there.

You sir are a true craftsman...machinist, this is a lost skill that was so prevalent during WW II....men like you built the machines and tools that won the war and built this industrial machine called America.
You are a true and smart craftsman..!!!
well done, Great vid r o and great work. !!!
Nice work Keith, glad to see you using the cutting torch by hand again. Not that I am against the plasma but something about nice flame cuts by hand :>
Thats a good size lathe, thanks for sharing your knowledge...
I love your videos! your tooling is just amazing, the way you utilize your lathe and pimp it out to do a specific job is super cool.

That's all you did;)
I have a small lathe and milling combined HQ800, and I can not afford arosage fountain or flood machine.
Thank you for your precisions.
you are doing good word by making this whole videos... thanks i learned to much from them.
Wish i had a workshop like that!
keith your fast forward scenes are awesome
Well done demonstration and videography.
I'm glad you put the note about the face-shield in there. Wearing one, kept what was a severe injury in it's own way, from becoming even worse.

I hope all people in the education field are making notes.... This IS the future of education. Virtually NO MORE classrooms.

hey Keith
everyone is waiting for the next video
we are all addicted - better than.... ha
carry on!
I like your video and your oxy-acetylene cutting advice. Thanks.
Jeffry Blackmon
Holy cow .002" runout at the jaws of a 3 jaw chuck, that's a nice chuck
Wow that sure is a beast compared to my 3/4 horse wood lathe!
Keith,been watching your vids for awhile.I am a disabled ex-machinist but still try to make things when I'm up to it.As for their +000/-.002 tolerance.....Why wouldn't you do a light knurl and turn the OD back down.I would think it would still leave more than enough surface are over the bearing area.Keep up the great videos!

Proper etiquette for spinning a wrench- spinning with the thicker end towards direction of travel.
Can't get enough of your vids. Love it.
What is the name of the boring bar sleeve/bit holder that you use and where can I get some?
Home depot has some stuff called dark thread cutting oil, I was going to pick some up next time Im in the area. With what little tinkering I do that should last me 10 years. I appreciate you answering my question.

great video, thanks for posting.
I watch "How it's Made" but each segment is only 5 minutes long and full of errors. This is far more satisfying.
Thanks for the comment! Really! Like I have stated in the past videos If spit out, slang or nick names or miss call a tool or etcetera, jump in and keep me inline. I do see the importance in one needing to look it up or reference to shop for one! ;{)-----

No, I have never had a problem with hands & grime, but I do wash them when need be. they do hold stains from time to time depending on what I'm working on and I have to use crack cream sometimes, because I dry them out from washing quite q bit. ;{)----
YAY ancient Colchester Student ! Am I right in thinking the start/stop handle also has the position to short the motor connections to effect braking ? Oh, nice workshop!
Later down the road I may have a course video on heat straightening my take
;{)-----
Enjoyable vid - as an old machinist I identified all way thru. BUT - spotted a real 'naughty' at 26:12 ..... chuck left with key in place!!! I guess we've all done it but always bothers me to see that! Nice bit of torch cutting BTW. :)
Great videos! In the beginning, you show some torch marks that you used to take out some warp. After heating it, do you apply pressure in order to make it move into alignment, or?
good snap gauge info
Thank you
Chris, thanks for the comment, but look closely, you'll never see the chuck wrench in a lathe chuck in my shop but I do leave it in the lathe chuck that was modified for my weld position er for handiness, that has no centrifugal force at all! LOL ;{)-----
I don't skid my wheels at a stop signs either! LOL, I take it easy and just slows it down enough so I'm not waiting forever! ;{)-----
Thanks for the comment and I'll keep that in mind. ;{)----
It was supplied by the customer for this pacific job!
Thanks for adding your comment on this subject, I'll try the chisel trick next time, I would have smeared in some soap stone if it was right there handy. ;{)----
I love the fact he is using a HD "Employee's Only" tape. roflmao.
It was laying in the parking lot next to my truck when I was loading my purchase and I grabbed it, Had to laugh when I got back to the shop and saw it said Employee's only! You know the tape OSHA approved, modified so you can't get hurt or hurt others! ;{)------
I've used many, many over the years. That model was semi usable.
Hi Keith, I've recently found your channel and I find it fascinating. I watch tubalcain's videos so I've got a good understanding of what's going on but your videos show it being used in a real & practical way which is fantastic. Weird question though - could you show the working of the brake handle on your lathe (which slow the chuck down when you've finished). I'm curious! Cheers :)
17:59 "Have carrier bearing follow[ing] the boring bar" ... Wow that is so smart Keith. Question; Your steady rest, is that something you custom made or is there a manufacture you got it from? Thanks!!
Keith, your cutting with the torch is awesome! what do you set your oxy and acetylene pressures at?
Thanks for the comment! And yea that is the name of the game, sometimes! love it when it's a combo of machining and welding or welding then machining. ;{)----
It was on one end of the shaft, the tolerances were called out by the manufacture of the bearings, not the manufacture of the equipment, I made a note of what they were in writing, the stock size of the shaft, .001" under that and going into the sand & gravel pit, not really even making a full revolution I saw it not that important. ;{)-----
I have some 280 something, videos on line now, if you haven't seen them, might be a good watch, while your waiting for the next one! ;{)------
Thanks for the comment! ;{)-----
What's the HP on that lathe? Must be a beast!
stick a disk neodydium magnet on the end of your measuring tape. helps out a bit..
Hooray for a new series! Quickie about the advertising- do you get shafted if we click "skip ad" after the 5 seconds, is it better to let it run to the end, does it even matter? I hate advertisement but am happy to let them run and ignore them on your clips if doing that helps you out.
I had noticed to high rub areas where the bore of the bearing was making contact, and very clear that they were what was causing most of the problem so I hit those two areas without working the whole diameter. ;{)-----
It actually has a small drum brake on main shaft, on the inside of the belt pulley. ;{)-----
Thanks for sharing.
It didn't seem overly effective - is it out of adjustment ? With the one I used, I think it was reckoned that even at top speed (1200rpm?) it could stop the chuck in half a revolution. Ours hasn't got a brake but a clutch instead - so the motor continues to run.
regarding 26:12
its better to lead by example then by some text on the video.
in my opinion
gostei ai do seu trabalho com o micrometro eu tambem vou atuar nesta área de torneiro mecânico é oque mais gosto de fazer ,, meus parabéns muito lindo seu trabalho ja me escrevi no seu canal do youtube ok
is it for cutting threads on pipe? about the only stuff I can find is for pipe threading or for tapping
very nice job.. :)
great job.. i am seeking for projects as ATV, and Solar vahicle etc. i have a team and we'll do it well asap.
Did you heat/quench or heat/press to straighten the bar originally? Or just heat? Very interesting!
Hi there, first of all thanks for the vids, great job, second a question for you, can you tell me the name of the snap gauges you are using to measure the sleeve of the bearing? I am in Europe and cannot find that here, thank you very much
I use; dark sulfur based cutting oil, popular names are Hercules and Ridge. on the steels and stainless steels and I use Alumtap for the aluminum. ;{)-----

nice machine :) you can make a V12 krank shaft with this
I made the aluminum housings to hold the 1/4" hard felt wipers in place, yea! ;{)----
