I was looking to see if someone would mention that. I have only used the English makes but they have a very similar arrangement but it takes waaay longer to change the chasers.
Great video Keith and thanks for the memories. When I was an apprentice I worked a ward capstan lathe turning out special aircraft bolts. I used a Coventry die head that is very similar to yours, they're a great piece of kit. Quick and repeatable. Regards from Northern Ireland.
Because of this video, I ran across 2 of these heads in an auction stuck in a box with a hairdryer and a skillet of all things and I knew what they where. The one appears to be a different style with no handle but the other is very similar to yours with a set of 1/2 13 dies in it! Paid 12$ for the lot. Appears that was a steal! Always enjoy the vids!
Another beauty Keith, thanks. The complex projects are interesting these simple ones show the care that you take to get it right and as the client wants.
Keith, it is good to see you getting value for all the work you put into reconditioning your small lathe. I have one the same and enjoy using it. I still need to fit the DRO and taper turning jig.
Well engineered device, can't beat proven equipment, very few CNC good do it quicker. As an apprentice, I was amazed how quick the Ward and Herbert capstan lathes UK) could manufacture parts, still used world wide today, not the prettiest of machines, ( I know of a few instances where the bosses didn't want capstan lathes in the shop because of this) but apart from automatics, nothing can touch them for versatility and speed. Great vlog, thanks for sharing. Regards John.
That is the first time I have seen a thread box like that used in the tool post, all ways before seen and used them in a turret type tail stock. For that operation, 3 tools, a stop to set length, a tipped bevel cutter for the chamfer and then the thread box.
Keith, Just found your website, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Watched the shaft straightening and the narration is extremely clear and helped me see a couple of things I had done not as well in the past. Love the G2 Threader. First time I have seen one in action. Will have to add that to my list of tools to add to the shop. Thank you for being a patriot, God Bless America!
keith i am out here in the caribbean ,Trinidad .Watch you all the time, you are an inspiration .You have taught me a lot, I also own a small shop ,need to own a Goe die soon ,keep up the good work.all the best for the future .
Used a turret lathe with a air operated chuck to make lead screws for vises in 1969 at East Tenn. State University. Brought back some good memories! Still got the vise.
Keith, put the G2 (Coventry die head, here in UK) in the tail stock and let it run free, put the carriage (locked) where you want the thread to stop. When it bumps the carriage it releases. Easy repeatable every time. The neatest squarest thread you will ever produce.
@@KeithFenner Die head has to be clamped to the tail stock, don't use the Morse taper. Your stop can be on the cross slide, so you wind it in, pull the stock to it, wind it back and away you go. I have six sizes of these die heads and use them all the time, quick efficient, REPEATABLE and a great finished thread.
Did this on a South Bend Turret Lathe at the start of my apprenticeship at Beth Steel at Baltimore in 1969. It reminded me of my dad cutting pipe threads by hand.
Die box that takes me back to an engineering firm I worked at in the early 2000s we made industrial pneumatic cylinders up to 32 inch bore and all the tie rods were made on a capstan lathe with a die box.
Thanks I always had doubts about threading boxes in general, but you have just proved me wrong. The only way you could make that easier would be to have it in a turret attachment then you would just have to lean on the advance lever.
In the '70's I ran a No.3 W&S turret lathe in a small shop in Ohio where I ran thousands of threaded part with this type of threading attachment , the release/ rough -finish lever lets you run a rough pass then a finish pass when cutting hard or tough materiel & you can simply close the head & catch the lead with the spindle turning just keep up with it . I hope this helps . B. Fox , retired
Because of the taper of the thread chaser you must cut the threads longer to give you a true length of straight thread, to account for the taper at the bottom.
We use one similar to that at my work. We mak 5/16-18 adjustment screws for a customer that are like 5" long with a run of typically like 150-200 pcs. They used to take a week single point threading them and checking every one since as soon as the cutter got just a little bit dull it would belly the thread out of spec in the middle. Using the automatic head we can do the same amount in 2 days no problem. You can still have issues with them though when the chasers start to get dull you will start to get a taper in the thread and also watch for teeth chipping on the chasers.
When you first got that lathe, I commented that I had one exactly like it and had sold it because I wanted something bigger. It had the collet closer and everything. It was a different brand, made in Taiwan. I'm regretting selling it now because of the collet closer attachment, I really didn't have the space for another lathe at the time. My buddy bought it and he uses it all the time in his press shop. He's got 4 50 ton presses, He makes quality metal float balls for automatic fill valves in fluid tanks. That's his bread and butter, but also makes other press drawn metal parts.
No. 2 Herbert... that takes me back! I was the CPU substitute for production work on one of those for a while... I'd actually like to find one for my back shed... just for the nostalgia!
Sunday Night viewing for me. Even though it was a long day in the shop today and eating dinner after everyone has gone to bed, LOL. Best time to watch NO interruptions.
Great tool to have in the shop. Wish I had one in mine. I’ve used those die heads and thread rollers when I worked in a production shop. Fastest two ways to make long threaded parts, IMO. Nice job Keith!
I have guys whine about the cost of these, but considering you can run 20 threads with one of these in the time it takes to single point, (Fewer on a fast threading lathe like a hardinge, but still a lot more), it pretty easily pays for itself even in a single small job. CNC threading is a hundred times faster than a human, but these attachments are faster still, so they are pretty common there too.
I made one of those gizmos to fit into the tail stock but just used the puck dies so flip it into reverse when u reach uurr depth. Quick n easy just make sure the tailstock is atleast on the centre mark Good content
Another option to consider on your chuck cart, would be a small jib crane for lifting larger chucks. Maybe more useful on your larger lathe if you were to build cart for it's chucks.
Those heads usually pull out, so you just need to set a carriage stop and run the apron up to the carriage stop and the head will continue until it pulls out and trips.
I used a geometric collapsible tap on a W&S 2AC back in the 90's. Never used a quick die head like this one though. That old tooling sure comes in handy at times.
That gadget has its uses like when you are threading down to where the rod diameter increases. But in this case, it would make more send just to use a regular die and manually stopped when you got your thread length and reverse out. The back out would "polish" the thread.
For a couple years, I've been using a gel type cutting 'fluid', (in a vet syringe), for threading to reduce the cutting oil mess. A bit in the flutes of a tap, and line on a shaft for externals does the trick. The head reminds me a bit of my ancient pipe threader and a bit of my auto-reversing tapper! LOL
Always enjoy watching you work. We used these on Hardinge machines a lot but usually always with rough cuts for a close final thread. Should be able to “feed” a second cut without locating on the existing thread - but a chucker carriage had a better (than engine lathe) feel for these.
This device was commonly called the Coventry die head as it was invented and used in Coventry England, mainly during and after the war as a very quick threading methodology.
The Geometric die head and their tapping heads are legends. Set up in a turret lathe there are amazingly productive. The You Tube channel, Museum of Our Industrial History out in Greenfield Ma has some Geometric factory videos that are interesting. Abom did a video on using a Geometric die head several years ago that might be helpful. cheers
Yeah I used their collapsible tap head on a Warner & Swasey 2AC chucker. My younger machinist friends thought I was bs'ing them when I told them their was such a thing.. lol
Hi Keith been watching your channel and expertise for a long time and enjoying every video.That G2 or geometric threader is a Coventry die box and you can set the depth of thread and length cut. Loved your tuna fishing trip. Kind regards Nev
I run a pipe threader at work every once in a while, very similar to what you are doing here. Rigid makes a oil pump with a catch bucket that recycles the oil and is the best way to go. Maybe if you do more of this you might pick one up.
These are great. Fine tunable and make a long job really enjoyable. They are relatively forgiving with set up as well. Just cock and go. Mine will release when hitting a positive stop on my ways as will this unit. Fortunately my old Chez lathe can have the apron disengage from the feedworks. The only lathe I have ever seen that would do that. You now have a new best friend eh. Oil never breaks down. It just gets dirty. Most can settle out contaminants by just sitting or with a magnet in the case of steels.
Those Geometric heads do work the treat! I have been wanting to get into them but they do tend to be pretty pricey to get all up and running for a bunch of various thread sizes.
Rather than hand feeding the carriage, could you set it to feed the thread pitch you are cutting as with single point threading and then just disengage the feed to trip the cutting head out of engagement?
If u look on the back by that small u call release lever there's a + and - so u can set close on the minus then finish on the plus if u move that lever u will see the die head adjust ..good way to do lots of threading tho
Great result on the G2. You keep getting these production jobs you'll have to get a turret post for a stop like Randy Richard. Ah, yes you have a readout.
thanks for the video keith nice equipment addition and imho far superior way of delivering merchandise notifications sorry gvt pension dosnt allow for purchases in my budget
mount your die head in the TAILSTOCK QUILL ..the die head will pull the tailstock onto the part...set the carriage in a position where it will serve as a stop when the tailstock comes into contact with the carriage ..leave the tailstock LOOSE on the bed ...
Thanks but shortly after that way back then video we figured out a system that works without fail each time we set it up now! It is a great piece of tooling and saves a lot of time.
Used to do a lot of threaded components on a lathe with a roller box to get rolled threads next step up from the Coventry die head if you ever get the opportunity
Hi Keith good little bread & butter job that little die head is good unit easy to adjustment. I used to use a Coventry die head on Ward 7a lathe for repetition jobs and sharpened the dies on tool& cutter grinder. I think CNC have replaced these methods. .... hard to teach &old machinist new tricks😀 cheers Ian in oz
If you take a Rigid 300 pipe threader and put bolt thread dies in it, you can rock and roll too. Joe. 20 ft long draw bolts to plumb steel beam buildings.
No disrespect Keith but your making a meal out of this. IMO it’s much easier to put the Coventry die head in the tail stock, allow the tailstock to float loose. Use the cross slide locked in place as a thread length stop and also to hold a chamfer tool. A quickly made depth stop setup (just a piece of stock cut to length) for setting the position of the change of each rod and your away with a much quicker repeatable setup with less hassle. I’ve made hundreds of water pump studs in brass this way. The little lever on the back is for a first and second pass setup. Remember, these threading heads were originally designed for capstan lathes. Loved the video none the less 👍
Damn... I traded a head and dies for a broach set....hmmm, doubtful I would have a need for thread production which I could single point was my thought, no other options for broaching
Once you get into the world of production mechanical screw machine work and setups, you start to realize those guys are just as if not MORE creative than universal job shoppers. Great job Keith, keep on keepin on!
The little handle is the roughing and finishing adjustment one way for roughing the other for finishing
I noticed the different positions and motion during my use of it and found that to be the case. Thanks for the comment. ;{)
I was looking to see if someone would mention that. I have only used the English makes but they have a very similar arrangement but it takes waaay longer to change the chasers.
