I think the idea with that indicator stand is that once it is set up properly all movement (up/down, in/out and all rotational axis) can be locked when you tighten just the large knob.
Good scores. You’re lathe can run CNMG 600’s. I’ve tested them on mine - was able to take some SERIOUS cuts. There’s just no point. I ended up giving my CNMG600 holder away to someone with a much bigger lathe, where it is more appropriate. I think it would be cool for a group of youtubers (5 or 6)to do a group video comparing recent acquisitions. Not sure how that would work. Recorded zoom? I’d love to be in on it. And finally - I will reach out to you separately on lathe coolant. I did some research, and then testing and now use a coolant which absolutely does not rust my machine. Happy to send you a sample to test out yourself. Will reach out via email. 👍
I look forward to all of it. I have been using Cimcool on my surface grinder and it has exceptional life and I haven't seen any corrosion. It is just that every lath I see that uses coolant has visible corrosion, but probably from much older formulations.
If I can get the antibot system to stop blocking me from looking at your email I'll reach out. There are definitely plenty of formulations that will still let machines rust. A lot comes down to maintenance of the coolant. Probably humidity in the shop plays into it as well. More to come!
That's the trick in most cases. Keeping the mix correct seems to be vital. I monitor the Ph and the concentration - both quick and easy to do - and use a $30 homemade tramp oil skimmer and it keeps my coolant in good shape - and no rust on my machines. I run Trim 585XT, also not the cheapest - but I know there are others that work also. This coolant leaves a nice oil film on everything. Shop humidity likely plays in to it as well.
Good one Rob . Carbide drills is something i need to keep an eye out for . Do you know if the seller had any more . I took my boring head out & had a twiddle with the thing on the bench today , they make a very nice boring head . Cheers 👍
Vertex makes some nice stuff. I picked up a set of R8 collets in that brand. Good quality. I have some CNMG-643's for my big lathe. I haven't had a chance to hog some material with them yet.

Good idea, but the large knob is a completely separate entity and doesn't effect any of the vertical parts.
Great video man, I was hooked on the eBay tools,lol 😂 still not completely cured..nice drill bits,great deal..
You and me both!
Very nice video. That is some nice tools.
Thank you for the comment.

@@StuartsShed I run Castrol MB50 , not the cheapest but have not had any issues providing i mix it correctly .

Next time I send you a package, I'll ship you the doubles.

I should send you the holder.
7.3mm is the optimal size for form tapping 5/16-18. I have one always loaded in my tool changer.
That is good to know. I normally use an "F" or "J" sizes for approx. 70% and 50% threads. 7.3mm would be less than 50% threads.
@@DudleyToolwright Not for form tapping. Entirely different hole size than cut taps.
👍👍😎👍👍
Thank you.
