By popular request, at some point in the next year I will try to put together a 'proper' narrated version of this build
Dude... Your skills are so good that I don't know if I should acknowledge your video editing skills or your manufacturing skills first!
Thank you!
Ok, the "gfx" gave me a smile - I have to give you that ... thumbs up earned.
Cheers!
This is the first video of yours I just watched and you definitely deserve a new subscriber for all the cool editing!
Cheers!
lol, this old tony would be proud.
Looks good, cant wait for the next episode.
I got the tig out and everything!
I was thinking the same thing
This is what I would call real hard core magic. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
cheers, channeling my this old tony ;)
Firstly I thought that it's new TOT footage. Now I thik is this best mashinist montage ever seen. I love it so much. You get one more sub bro.
Thanks for watchin'!
Love your channel! Dude you deserve waaay more subscribers!
Thanks for such a cool video. Nice editing and effects. I'm keen to see this gearbox build. I have the same lathe and have always thought gear changes were a bit of a pain. I also don't have a decent selection of gears, so I have very limited options.
deffo some TOT inspiration in the video - and that's no bad thing.
Cheers mate 👍
Yes the dreaded gear change is this what we do after just one cup of coffee? Nice video and great lesson of sharing. We are happy you are out to solve it. Click Click and done LOL.
Need that extra caffeine boost to get through changing gears
I’ve wanted one for a while for my little lathe great video !!!!
Yeah I can't wait to get it working
Even better than This Old Tony . . .
Nah, not possible!

Great video and build thanks for posting
Cheers!
Very well done video!, would be interesting to do a cost/time/pro vs con comparison of this vs electronic gearing
In the end you had fun building it and that is what counts!
Electronic would be far less effort, thinking maybe I should have gone down that path now!
By electronic gearing did you mean using no gears, just a direct drive and using PWM to adjust the revolutions per minute, potentially with a comparator feedback mechanism by means of a hall effect sensor next to the lathe spindle and some magnets glued to the spindle shaft? Although much mroe compact and easier to achieve, wouldn't that be inferior to mechanical gearing because the latter would make full use of the engine's torque output?
Your certainly gonna be one to look out for, great build and great video, no you didn't over do the effects ..... subscribed Andy U.K
Cheers
I may have set the bar high for myself here!
The funeral director. Long time no see
I'm intrigued and entertained. Subscribed.
Nice project!
Cheers. Hoping to be done by the end of the year
Awesome editing....I’m thinking even a little better than this old tony. 🤙
Ooh careful ToT might set Meatball and her kittens onto you if he heard
is it possible to modify this for a harbor freight minilathe?
The concept could be applied to any lathe with a leadscrew and change gears.
It is a very crazy project with a big learning curve

Hey mate. I have the same Mill as you but unfortunately mine did not come with all the guchi tooling. Worst of all is there seems to be no draw bar??? Would it be possible to get some basic dimensions so I can turn up my own? Keep up the great work
Sure can. I've made my own M12 horizontal and vertical drawbars for it (it came with 1/2 inch) I'll take a look
Drawbar dimensions hereth-cam.com/video/P8rLhm6oroY/w-d-xo.html
should get it done pretty quickly then
There's still some fairly fiddly components to make. I'll go into more detail for those
Given the simplicity of these parts I thought I'd make the video more entertaining than informative
From the title "Quick Change Gearbox Build" I'd assume that I would be learning something relevant to building a quick change gearbox for a lathe. Instead, it was mostly a master class in high school video editing for cute effects and only somewhat related to imparting knowledge having to do with machining and fabrication.
Thank you for the feedback. I have come to realise this and my videos have been changing recently.
The problem with imparting knowledge at this stage of the build is that the components are simple and I thought noone would be interested, and the first few videos are 'flashy' as a result
@@TomMakeHere Apologies if I came off a little terse mate. Your quick change gearbox looked like a fascinating project and your work is top notch. It was just hard to follow along because of the rapid scene changes and lack of narration. Part 4 was much appreciated. Cheers.
@@TomMakeHere How do _you_ machine your own gears? Do you have a dividing head? I have to plan on building a dividing head in order to machine replacements for missing change gears for my "old" lathe -- it's a 1911 South Bend and the remainder of "South Bend" told me that gear standards have changed since my lathe was built. Now I may have to build a quick change gear box too! ;)
@@bobvines00 Yes dividing head. My gears are 18 dp which is not really made today. I was able to get a set of 18 dp cutters.
Once I'm happy with my powerfeed project and maybe an automatic dividing attachment I'm thinking of selling custom gears for these old lathes
Thanks for watching
It might have been a bit more interesting without the semantics!!
I'm working on a reedited version where I explain things without the extra fluff
At the time I didn't think the project was very interesting (it's just plates, shafts and gears). Anyway better version coming out later this year
