Lathes will always be one of the most intimidating machines to me. Most "lathe accidents" have an end result spreading across a hemisphere surrounding it, and there usually isn't a body to recover if things go really wrong.
Worked around lathes all my life, I've been hurt but honestly having respect for it never seriously. I am scared of laser machines though, I admit that
@@jaythatguyyouknow5135 the difference is that you could be just walking by a machine shop when a workpiece comes through the wall (or roof) and vibechecks you
I work with them and the only real scary times are when you have a big piece spinning fast. I run small parts at 3000 rpm with no worries all the time.
The wobble you were getting was from removing too much material at the end. Typically you would want to put the head of the bat toward the drive side so there is more meat and then start cutting at the handle end. That will leave the bat stiffer and provide more support while removing material.
The more important question, how do I turn my lathe into a waterjet??? 6:10 is that horizontal vertical video??? That's even worse than vertical video, makes me sick and gives horizontal vertical video syndrome!!!!!!
Man, I’m sitting here watching the brief construction montage thinking “wow, what an awesome way to use the water jet”... and then I realized that’s the main purpose of the water jet haha
i mean, i'm pretty sure that this is a metal fabrication shop. there are probably more people there that are competent welders than not. although the welds look a little cold to me. they should have been welded flat, so no reason to not run it hot.

Very cool idea, like that you guys never seem to run out of creative ideas for videos and most importantly are just having fun doing them. Great work!! 👍
I like this youtube channel but this idea isn't original in any way, I've been seeing ads for the milspin covid key since like the beginning of quarantine and it's the same thing
Love your channel but you should probably know that copper alloys do kill bacteria but only if the copper is unoxidized so it’s only practical if you are basically sanding that finger every few hours. The original studies on copper bacteria killing properties neglected to test with and without oxidation which is why there is a lot of miss-information about it. Now stainless is used in hospitals and so on more because it is non-porous which although it doesn’t kill it makes it efficiently clean. Woodworker here, love the slightly unorthodox lathe!
This is utterly inspired, i cannot believe they do not use this for roughing out castings/forgings on those massive lathes. you just see them slowing using a ceramic cutting tool slowly taking it down to the desired shape.
That was a very creative use of a waterjet. Next time, leave the deep end cuts out until the very last minute. It will improve the finish and rigidity. Oh, and I think you forgot to factor in, 2 guys standing around for 2 hours into your bat cost. Thats waaaay more than a $300 bat. But it was worth it.
I feel like the end product will eventually split , due to re-introducing water to the wood from the the water jet. Wood obsorbes water unlike plastic, and metal. and you sealed it while wet.
@@Woogoo336 if the wood wasn't so expensive (based on their comments at the end) then I'd say that would've made for fantastic content, honestly. "We exploded a massive fucking chunk of solid wood with our water jet."
I normally find myself wanting to hit the like button during multiple points in your videos. This time I hit like at the concept conveyed in the title/thumbnail.
I use that trick for machining foam, it's a pain in the butt on a regular lathe (too soft, it just warps all over the place as soon as the tool makes contact) so I turned a laser cutter into a lathe, same way they turned there waterjet into one, expect a bit less janky and a lot more effective. (the laser doesn't imply any force on the foam and melts straight trough it, even with relatively thick parts.) it only works with foam tho, anything with a higher melting point and density and it does basically nothing.
imagine finishing school and applying to the job there in that place and seeing your boss do this funny stupid shit on the expensive machinery and filming it for youtube.. coolest boss ever

The real miracle is that HF drill ran for 2+ hours!
With it being so close to the water it most likely cooled it down enough. But yea I'm surprised a drill was enough power to move that hard wood
HF tools are surprisingly good
@@Nicc93 - the required torque/power are more about the bearings and the waterjet than the mass of the wood itself
They won the HF lottery.
btw, I just bought a welder from them. Wish me luck...
@@GeneralChangFromDanang I would... but you almost certainly don't need it; that welder will probably be fine.
Give the guy who actually works at the company the bat!!
I agree.
They of course don't have to but I think they should.
That'll take some time
„This is the video no one is asking for“ WROOONG sooo many people want this I am sure 😂
If so, then sooo many people are idiots.
@@timhofstetter5654 happy curious creative idiots
But did someone asked for it?

I love how the waterjet was used to make parts to mod itself. Its like 3d printing 3d printer mods.
Or lifting pallets of forks with a forklift.

I feel like the end product will eventually split , due to re-introducing water to the wood from the the water jet. Wood obsorbes water unlike plastic, and metal. and you sealed it while wet.
I was wondering the same thing....maybe use metal instead of wood??????
@@ericwilliams7374 we have to know if the machine cuts a piece of metal that thick.
@@ericwilliams7374 Aluminum bats are hollow, so any bat they could make from metal would be ludicrously heavy.
When the other guy in the shop says "what's that, can I have that" you know you nailed it
What amazing things water can do! Cool video, great work!
I think you have jus revolutionised wood turning in one video pure genius
I enjoyed this. The wooden bat wasn't the only wood present.
A water jet is like the most versatile tool ever
You just KNOW there's someone out there who's water jetted themselves a wooden dild before
pretty sure that's the default CNC sketch that loads when you boot the machine up the first time
I actually do not know that
Not sure what i'm most chocked about. You having that idea, or it actually being true.
Either way, weird mindset xD
rule 34, so no.

That is thinking out of the box. GREAT JOB!
you guys should turn this channel into Waterjet wood-turning cause wood turning channels pull a hella a lot of views
That is one tasty contract.

New challenge: full size petrified wood baseball bat 🙃
way more fun than i expected!
Great vid but why didn’t you guys flip the lathe so that it cut in the same direction as it span
Then it would just, spin. Like super incredibly fast and be a problem.
Because that tends to make the wood get all Explodey
Dr.J it wouldn’t cut anything then
Dr.J spun
It would be cool tho
That advertisement was highly entertaining! 😂😎👍
This old tony/ave/everyotherlathemaster: .... *thumbs up with a face of confusion.*
I didn't ask for this but the result is super amusing. Kudos
Would it not have worked having the water jet going with the spin of the wood like I understand it would penetrate less
It would probably spin at warp speed and explode like the fidget spinners and skateboard wheels they blew up.
@@Woogoo336 if the wood wasn't so expensive (based on their comments at the end) then I'd say that would've made for fantastic content, honestly.
"We exploded a massive fucking chunk of solid wood with our water jet."
@@randomnpc445 $30 in wood $300+ in cutting time.
This is all I wanted this week
Could've just started on the other side, with the spin. (Edit: I guess that it would need a braking system though to limit spin speed.)
Finally found someone else that said to cut the other side... seems like common sense
The brake would be easy and better than the drill
Your guys production rate is through the roof
As a woodturner, this hurts my soal
I especially love the adequate [and highly appropriate] use of the Wilhelm Scream in the Copper Finger pitch.
Try making one out of aluminium (aluminum).
That would take 19 hours

@@WaterjetChannel 19 hours or $2850 dollars that's an expensive bat! Plus wear and tear on the machine lets add another $200 to that. So $3000+ bat :)

Muito bom parabéns 👏👏👏
Just found this channel. I don't think I've even seen a water jet in person. I love it.
@1:03 that bearing ''press' fit makes me puke
its not ideal
You asked yourself "could I do it" instead of "should I do it" and that's what defines a true maker.
