I'm in love with that machine! The hex collet too is super useful. There's no doubt that the turret approach is just the greatest for repetitive work. Very nice casting for the handwheel.
Hi Randy, I enjoy watching your videos at the correct speed, I don't understand why people need to see them faster. Perhaps I just like to adsorb the information, thanks for all you do
Randy, realize this is an old video, just wanted to say thanks for posting, have a DV59 in process of restoration. Also wanted to let you know it is my understanding the Hardinge turret can be set in such a way to only go in / out w/o indexing to next tool. while in this mode, you can still index to another tool (manually), at the free point of the travel.
I wish I had a cross slide with t-slots. One of those wish list ideas I might or might not ever get to. For now I'll have to settle for being envious ;)
Great video Randy. You could actually do that whole part in one set up. Start with a long stop so the material sticks out a half inch or so. Grind a form tool for your cross slide to face and radius the end at the same time. Use the turret to center drill, drill, chamfer, then tap. Then a shorter stop so the part is out a ways, make another form tool for other side of the cross slide to part off and radius at the same time. Better get that bar feeder shortened!
Dave, I have tried that method and chatter and support becomes a problem. Then you end up having to put more work in the clean up of the radius end. I need a small live center in the turret for support, and I not have one. It would be nice to do it in one setup, big time saving.
A center would be nice, but you're all out of spots unless you get rid of the chamfer. All the operations would be well inside the collet except the final part off and radius. I wonder if you could steady it with your free hand? Even if you have to do more than one op, it's still way faster than a regular lathe.
On the grinder date, any electronic parts, like motor cap if any, should be stamped with date code in form like 10-72 or 1072 would be tenth week of 1972. Usually stamped (or printed) on caps, transistors, ICs and sometimes even switches.
Randy I have a DSM 59 and its nose is completely different from that one is it some kind of an adapter? Mine is like a little conical knows that accommodates C5 collet obviously and it also accepts a chuck. Is that some sort of adapter?
That Craftsman grinder is a "block" grinder, and has quite a following on garage journal: www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157794 Regards, Duck
I could watch the turret lathe all day!
It is not the watching, it is the arm action that kills you. Yes this is why I only intend on doing this once a year. Thanks Greg.
Very nice machine and work Randy. I have three of your scribes, top drawer tools I use regularly.
Thanks John. Thanks for the great support, they are nice tools.
Thanks for the shootout :-)
Hi Randy, That turret lathe is a blast to watch working! Thanks for sharing...
Thanks Dave. Pretty fast.
Wow Randy love the turret setup. Also love your property and that lovely scenery from your workshop. 👍👍👍👍
it is a nice peaceful setting. Yours today for $950000.00.
Randy Richard In The Shop nice no doubt worth every penny.
For just acquiring this Hardinge, you have done quite well at speed learning and getting it set up.
As always, I enjoyed it Randy.
I am a quick learner. Thanks for the visit.

Thanks Chris the lathe works great.

Thank you Little English Workshop.

Thank you Douglas, Yes this correct.
Love when plan comes together. Nicejob
It is coming along, still a few weeks out before all completed.
that is a super awesome setup Randy ! love the turret lathes .. Great share man !
Thanks Shawn for stopping in.
Good video Randy . Like that hand wheel.
Thanks Mike, works great.

Very useful on this type of lathe. Thanks.

Good stuff Randy, enjoyed!

Thank you Robin for stopping in.
Great video. Thanks, Randy.
Thanks John for visiting the shop.
hi boss
could i bother you for the part number on the B&S parting tools you have?
On the grinder date, any electronic parts, like motor cap if any, should be stamped with date code in form like 10-72 or 1072 would be tenth week of 1972. Usually stamped (or printed) on caps, transistors, ICs and sometimes even switches.
I will have to check the relay. Thanks Doc.
randy nice work.
Thanks Bob for the visit.
Randy I have a DSM 59 and its nose is completely different from that one is it some kind of an adapter? Mine is like a little conical knows that accommodates C5 collet obviously and it also accepts a chuck. Is that some sort of adapter?
Yes, mine is set up for Type 21 collets.
You are putting pressure on China with that mass production.
I will crush them.
That is awesome! How many scribes until it becomes work?
_Dan_
We are right there at the limit, actually just past it. If I have room and $ I would have a cnc lathe doing this.
350? I bet you feel like RR stands for Robot Randy after that. :)
Yeah I think I should not be so ambitious. My arm is paying for it right now.
Just like a regular production line. All you need is an inspector.
Oh great not another inspector. Thanks Harold.
nice job:)
Thanks Rick for stopping in.

I will have to check that out. Works great now and is very well built, all cast iron.
👍🏻
Nice. I always watch to the end, but if I didn't do it at 1.5x speed I'd have to cut 1/3 of the content I watch.
Thanks Barry, at least you watch.
alright! my scribe is gonna buffed on a vintage made in USA buffer whoooooHoooooo!!!!
Well it is what I have. These are all USA. Thanks Warren.
