This has got to be the coolest upgrade for tappering on manual machines. It is so exiting and can't wait to get mine done. Amazing work Steve!!!
+Black Smith Hi thanks. Pleased you like it
Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
Brilliant job Steve , thanks for sharing
All the best Paul
I subscribed because your videos are well thought out and explained in great detail
so - you take a bit longer to explain what your doing but it actually helps me understand
every step and see exactly how is should be done! Thank You! Mr. Jordan
Steve another great video. You are an encouragement to people like myself who are new to hobby machinist! thank you.
You are a craftsman of the highest order. Excellent build to solve a very annoying problem, thank you.
Hi Thanks for watching.....Regards Steve
Another great video, loved the simplicity but genius way of the tool was put together and used, keep up the great work :).
Hi Colin.....Thanks.
Very good design. I had been thinking about how to build one of these for my 1340 lathe. Enjoyed it immensely.
Great video. I especially like your step-by-step instructions. I see this project in my future...
Thanks Steve...... was so impressed I had to make one....used a piece of electrical poly pipe and end cap for the handle...used a dpdt switch with a momentary action, so it can be used in both directions also used a 25rpm gear box....3mm facing cut......brilliant.....KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS...very informative.

That Sir is possibly my solution for budget solar panel tracking, cheers :)
You Sir, are a god! Got my 12v 16rpm motor/gear reduction unit in the mail today, amazingly I also got that same deburring tool in the mail today, purely coincidence!
Great idea Steve, I'll soon be making one for myself. Thank you for the video.
Hi Ron.....Thanks for watching........Regards Steve
Love projects like this. Well done and great explanation. Thanks!
Brilliant, Steve!
Excellent design Steve, yet another tool on my "to make" list. Thanks very much for sharing this with us.
Hi Brian, Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
another great video from the amazing Mr.Jordan
very slick little idea and tool for the lathe thanks for sharing the details
Hi Wade....Thanks for watching.....Regards Steve
Very resourceful, I like the tool and will keep my eye open for one.
Incredible! thank you for the video, it's incredibly interesting and fantastic execution.
that is the perfect rpm to great job !!
Nice repeatable precision. Kudos for a great vid.
Thanks for the tips and ideas what a great tool for a manual machine
Steve, enjoyed the video very much. Excellent instruction. Great tool. Thank you for sharing your work.
Hi Craig Thanks for watching.....Regards Steve
Perfect... I'll order some geared motors right now. Thank you for sharing the idea! ;)
Really nice idea! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic idea! Make another one with a different color pipe, a 200 or so rpm output, and wired in reverse to crank the compound slide back to the start a lot faster and save your wrist!
Very cool idea, i'm gonna use it with some variations for my unimat! thanks.
Hi Steve
I just received my worm drive so next project is making this very useful tool
Cheers and merry Christmas to you and the family mate
another great video by steve,..........always great to watch.............
Great build. Keep up the good work.
Nice! I love the idea, now I have to build one. Thumbs up from Montana 👍 Thankyou ☺
Hi Van, Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
Great idea. With this sistem you can feed the cross slide too for facing. Well done.
Thar is very handy when you would be turning the crank by hand and want a smooth finish. Thanks for sharing.
Hi,Steve you could use a variable speed drill driving through a large reduction gear and an ac/dc speed controller to drive the lead screw for screw cutting and fine finish turning,it could save you messing about with the change gears.The large reduction should smooth out any jumpieness you find with the simple speed controller.Lovely work you are doing.
Another simple to make and very enjoyable project from the Master. Steve, your ingenuity never ceases to amaze and inspire me. I have one of these motors which I got for another project. They are indeed very good quality for the price. Now I've found another use for it! Thanks for making such excellent videos, there' are no short cuts and everything is explained so well. Going on EBay now to look for a 30mm piece of Delrin...
Hi Peter...Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
You are genius,well done.I have seen and worked on a lathe that has power feed for compund -those are rare to find but they do exist(there was british one that had double feed at same time harrison something was the name ).But this little gizmo does the same thing on any lathe.
You could probably put a speed controller on a motor for different feed rates.And also mount that thing on compound on the gib screws with a peace of mild steel flat bar so you dont have to hold it.
Hi Thanks for watching it would be great with a speed controller. You would have to buy one with a higher pre-set speed to start with. I may have a look into that sometime. ....Regards Steve
love this channel, thanks again steve.
Outstanding job. Mr Jordan. Great to see another video also
All my best.
Bobby
Hi Bobby....Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
Fantastic tool Steve, I have been eyeing them small gearbox motors for a long time, but for another project looks to have plenty of balls
Hi Lawrence Thanks....Yes it does have a high torque. I cant stop it turning if I have it going and hold the end drive. There must be loads of different things you could use them for.....Regards Steve
Gday Steve, absolutely top idea mate, I have to have myself one for sure, thank you for sharing mate
wow that's awesome I am going to make myself a couple …. Just ordered two motor and handle material
Great gadget to have Steve, very handy.
Nice project, very nicely executed!
Epic video. So impressive and helpful
Awesome !!!!! Absolutely love it .Amazing idea and thanks for all the amazing videos
Hi Kat, Thanks for watching.....Regards Steve
Thank you for the idea. Was trying to figure out power feed for cross slide and compound for my lathe bolted to it... this is way better. Got 2 of these motors coming now.
Thanks. I will be doing more on this soon. I have just ordered a couple more and a small speed control that will give variable speed. It will be a few weeks before they arrive though. Regards Steve
Great stuff Steve! Thanks for the video
Hi Thanks for watching.....
I like this a lot, I have used myself an electric screwdriver with hex bit to drive and it has reverse button but it's too fast, this is great!
You are brilliant!
Love the video and the concept. The latter has forced me to think of a couple/several of modifications to it to make it more flexible; including variable speeds, automatic end stops and bidirectional travel.
Hi I am manufacturer of micro dc gear motor
Very clever Steve. Have you consider to reverse voltage polarity of the motor to retreat the tool? Thank you for sharing.
SPLENDID IDEA / VIDEO !!! I'll be making one forthwith. Thanx for sharing your vast intellect.
Hi Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
Great idea, I just finished some grinding on a taper and could have used your method. Will be making one soon as well. Thanks
Hi Tom, Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
Steve, the motor finally arrived and I built one. Works great. I made two changes. First I mounted the motor the same as you did, but increased the PVC pipe to the next larger size for the rest of the handle (more room inside). Second I installed a reversing switch, as I sometimes cut both ways on a taper.
Again thanks for the great idea!!
Very good video, also nice to hear the birds singing in the background, and I think one of your other videos could see chicken walking around the yard, so peaceful ! unlike some other videos with music blasting!
exellent job on the compound drive tool. i really like your channel and i subscribed awhile back. you are a very resoursefull and skilled at machining thanks for sharing your knowage with us. keep the vids comming. very enjoyable and usefull content.
Hi Jamie....Thank you for watching, subscribing and your encouraging comments....Regards Steve
Steve you are the man. WOW. Nice video thanks
Hi John, Thanks for watching...Regards Steve
Thanks for sharing, great idea, I think I'll make one for my mill.
Hi Gerry.....Thanks for watching. I think it would be good for milling as well....Regards Steve
Great idea Steve - something which in principle I have had in mind for a long time. I have had one or two gear drive motors from ebay - amazing value.
30RPM seems an ideal speed., although maybe 40 could work too. So nice to have a way to maintain a constant feed rate.
Super job.
Looking forward to your version of this Chris,lol
Hi Chris, Thanks....Yes I reckon 40 would be fine to. They are so quick to make you could have a few with different speeds!
My works too. Used Inplix handbooks and build it with no problems.
Very good idea. A little improvement: an additionnel switch for reverse opération would be good... or even better adding an cheap inverter on the motor to control the speed☺ greetings from France Laurent
i like how you work no screwing around just plow forward and kick its ass lol great video i laughed like hell when you used that little screwdriver ive always thought that would be a good theng to make an auto feed with hahaha
Great project, cool idea!
Hi Isidoro, Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
THANK YOU...for sharing. Very nice and useful tool.
Hi Thanks for watching...
Ah super great build Steve , Enjoyed Thanks man ! Thumbs up very handy tool ..
Hi.....Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
great idea my next lathe project.
Hi Grahame.....Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
very nice half CNC lathe
Parabéns, excelente trabalho.... Mas para ficar melhor ainda, você poderia adicionar uma chave inversora , para inverter o sentido de rotação da ferramenta!!!
Yes but I have only tested it twice on the bench and it works very well. It's about 2 inches square, has 2 big transistors with heat sinks, a fuse and a tiny red led. And I forgot it also has a pot with knob and a bunch of other stuff.
excellent tool! at the risk of trying to make something good, better... because it's DC, you could easily use a higher speed version with a potentiometer in line with the motor connection to allow for adjustable speed.
Mr Jordaqn, ít's true that one doesn't need the reverse for the cut, but it might be convenient for the "lazy" turner, so that he doesn't have to reverse the compound slide by hand.
Are there any plug on electric clips for the small tabs to quick connect the wires to the motor? Not sure but it looks like the line could short out with little effort? thanks, great video..
another great idea.
Hi Gord....Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
nice, very useful idea
Brilliant bit of kit as usual Steve, may i make a suggestion- in the opening scene, can you give us a shot of the completed project as it is shown at 24:12? I was foggy up till then on just what it was you were going to make, also any observations as to usefulness too. This request is not meant to diminish your worthwhile accomplishment and thanks for the idea.
Hi Thanks for watching. I thought because I have done another video on this subject I didn't want to repeat what I explained in that one. I didn't want to show the finished product in the opening scenes because it is such an easy thing to make,.. People may have rushed off to make one without watching the whole video. It was a bit tactical...:-) Regards Steve
Perhaps you're right Steve, after all, everybody loves a mystery . ☺
I got it on EBay it looks just like the one for $2.65 . It has the same specs. I have an idea how to mount it on my mini mill, I have every thing I need it's just getting it done. I'll let you know how it turns out, may be awhile I'm not too fast.
Very cool !
Hi John...Thanks for watching....Regards Steve
Steve, I know this is an older video but I was curious if you can combine this with a dc potentiometer and have a variable speed unit since its a DC motor?
I bought this same exact motor in 120 rpm to drive x table on my mini mil for about 10 dollars and a speed controller for 2.05 free shipping. I've got a bunch of dc power supplies and a mount doesn't look too hard.
Hi James, That sounds good. Does the speed controller work well for these motors? Regards Steve
Good job there.
Hi Thanks for watching...Regards Steve
perfect for rapid manufacturing of vampire stakes.
I have no experience with Myford lathes, are there taper attachments available?
cool idea, but it thought this lathe came with power compound slide?
steve i am after an arbor to suit my collection of chinese involute gear cutters 22mm bore can you help ..? regards laurence
I made one with 30 rpm and a second with 60 rpm. They work well.
Hi Robert thanks, yes they are nice little motor assemblies. I'm very pleased with mine as well.
Regards Steve
Hi budd I know its an old post but its a really Useful video thank you for posting Hope you don't mind me asking I have a small mill could I use one of these Motor/Gbox for powering X axis or something bigger Thanks
Thanks. Yes I reckon it will be fine for a small milling machine as well
@@SteveJordan Thank you
Great project , I have used a similar motor to drive the x-axis on my small mill. Have you used your tool on the cross slide or is it too fast?
Hi Thanks. I just use it on the compound slide to get good finishes on angles. I haven't tried it on the cross slide.
Very good Steve. I was waiting to see how you were going to do this and am not disappointed. When you tapped the plastic bar with you knocker it seemed to true it up. Is that so and how does that work? How do you know when to tap it? By the way, thank you for he video.
Hi Glenn...Thanks....Yes that is a method for truing up. When you knock the component with the spindle revolving, it will either increase the run out or improve it. You may have to give it a few knocks but at some point it usually runs dead true, obviously when it is struck in the right place. It is best to tighten the jaws a bit after doing this....Regards Steve
Smart project, but many of this motors have a build-in fan for cooling. What about Your modell, not getting warm in the closed handle?
Hi No they don't get warm at all really. They only get minimal use though. If you were using them for long periods though they may do?
The wish is the mother of the thought. I thought I saw 'a 12 V Electric Warp Drive' sadly, it's something else.
Hello Steve. This a brilliant design and I will be making one as soon as can get the components. A question (not a criticism!) - is there any problem with the motor running too hot when tightly enclosed/gripped with the PVC tube? Ian.
Hi Ian, Thanks. It may get hot if it was used a lot, but it is only a finishing tool. Therefore it is only gets used for the last cut, so this is not a problem.
Regards Steve
Good point. Thanks Steve.
Great idea. For turning CW everything fine, what about CCW....??
No need for counter clockwise as the finish cuts are only taken in forward feed and its quicker to reverse by hand
Yes that's correct, I was have in mind in case of tapering, that you need to make several passes..
Nice video, thanks for that. Questions: what gauge wire are you using? Also for the 12v socket, does it matter which side the pos and neg are connected to in the socket itself?
As it's only connecting to the motor, it only matters that the motor polarity is correctly observed for forwards/reverse. However, it would be sensible to use the industry default of pin-positive, shell- negative, then wire the reversing switch appropriately.
There are also nice planetary/epicyclic gearbox motors available so that if preferred a full inline unit can be made. They are also available in different rpm/ratios/voltages. Also perfectly possible to fit 3x18650 (3s/1p) into the handle for a completely autonomous wire free unit that can be recharged via USB by using a boost circuit and lithium balance charge.
That's sweet! I love it! THANKS!!

Add a DPDT switch so you can reverse it as well.
Super
Steve could you please tell me what tool post system you use on your myford? it looks super rigid and easy to use.
+charrontheboatman Hi it is the Myford Quickchange toolpost. You can get them on Ebay from sellers RDG or Chronos or direct from their websites. Regards Steve
Thanks so much steve do you know if they will fit a grizzly 10"?
How about adding a forward/reverse switch, since it is a DC supply?
Hi Herman, Thanks for watching. There is no need for reverse as the finishing cut is only done using forward motion. Regards Steve

it looks like a tungsten dart for anty tanks missals
Steve where did you get your tool post for your mini lathe?
I got mine either from RDG or Chronos on Ebay. The Quickchange tool post is the same for both my lathes. So if you search for a Myford Quickchange that is the one to get.
