Looks like you are running behind on my videos. How dare you. Just kidding, thanks for watching and commenting on my channel. Have a great weekend, cheers 👍
I remember the trade school and the beginning of my machining career doing this on a manual lathe. That was a pain in the ass, we have it easy these days. Thanks for watching, have a great weekend.
Buongiorno MAESTRO CHRIS. Complimenti per il tuo video. Ottimo lavoro 👍 👍 👍. Un abbraccio forte da GENOVA VOLTRI da EUGENIO 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝👏👏👏👏👏🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Beautiful work, thanks! Question: I'm surprised that you don't use a holder in the middle of the piece to decrease chatter, is there a reason it is ok for this particular piece? The machining of the shoulder portion at the end is really impressive.
When you turned the shaft around to machine the leftover piece. How did you get the tailstock end true to drill a centre true to the machined shaft with that much stick out?
The centres are pre drilled before machining , check out a couple of videos back where Chris turns a ring and you can see the centre inside of the Chuck.
Most of the centers on a large pieces are done on a horizontal boring mill and I do have a center in the chuck, so basically I'm working between centers.
It's not the machine then. It's the man running it. Mad skills to you for machining huge work pieces. Love watching you work brother. I've been in the game for 25 years and always worked on micro parts compared to your work.
Hello, I often watch your videos, I learn something useful. Tell me how to avoid crushing the workpiece at a length of 1500mm and a diameter of 60mm when turning. There is a lunette, but it does not transmit the beating of the part to the cutter.
Long stringy noodle, Hey if you had the square tooth gears that, This old Tony showed, " With any luck at all, you will never see this type of gear profile," you Auromaticaly get Spindle Speed Variation 🤓🤓🤓 for you long stingy noodle machining without chadder... Awesome work though Man...
4140 or 4340 doesn't really move much, but since I work without steady rest I did rough turned that piece and then came back with one more cut to eliminate any movement.
I need your lathe.. give it to me lol. I've never seen an open cnc lathe before but I want it.. I was just kidding about you giving me your machine.. but I do want it tho. 👍👍🤙
@@ChrisMaj Ive been at work all weekend getting a couple of large hot jobs done. The day does fly by when working under pressure, but its not great for the stress levels 😅
@@ChrisMaj Yes! A few years ago I had a 3-off that needed to be ready to be on the freight to America the following Monday, but I had the Friday off. Boss persuaded me to come in on the Friday to get the parts done. I came back after having a week off to find the finished parts still on the pallet where I had left them 🙄
Hi thanks to you I started recording on TH-cam, if you feel like I invite you to your channel so far 1 video but I already have the material for 2 more thank you 💪 pozdrawiam z Polski 💪
For anyone wondering what the whirring noise is, that's the lathe speeding up/slowing down the rpms to match the surface speed for different diameters
G96
Constant surface speed
@@bdude92 Yes, it was abbreviated in my machines as CSS. Cheers!
G96?
As a polish American machinist. I would like to comment. Chłopie twoj talent jest zajebiscie.
Zajebiście mi miło 😂👍
Again, lovely piece of turning and well filmed mate thanks for sharing, just finished watching last week video missus will be wondering where I am 🤣👍
Looks like you are running behind on my videos. How dare you. Just kidding, thanks for watching and commenting on my channel. Have a great weekend, cheers 👍
🤣 you too 👍
I have no idea what it does but it was fun watching the process.
I wish every subscriber was like you. Watching and commenting on every video. Thanks, cheers.
@@ChrisMaj It's the least I can do, you take the time to share knowledge which has benefited my work on my little benchtop machines.
Perfect Chris, back in the dark days before cnc that would be a PIA lol a profile attachment and lots of stress not to ###k it up lol

Great job Chris . I would really love to pick up an older Harrison Alpha , a similar style of machine .Cheers .

HOT NEED ASAP.....Famous last words!
And then it sits on the floor for a week.
@@ChrisMaj Lol...you know it!!
Cool. Thanks.

@@ChrisMaj Damn - I just asked how you did the centers, elsewhere in the comments
How do you not get a taper in your turns is amazing for an old machine. You maintenance that machine very well.
I'm the only one running this lathe since they bought it brand new about 17 years ago. Is it old? I don't know. Still in a good shape.

Does this material distort too much after roughing?
4140 or 4340 doesn't really move much, but since I work without steady rest I did rough turned that piece and then came back with one more cut to eliminate any movement.
ok, how did you get a machined, center drilled face on the tailstock end of that? Don't see a band cut for a steadyrest....
Horizontal boring mill
God job
Interesting shape for that valve stem..
No threads either..
4140 does love horse power doesn't it!
how long did it take you to finish
Almost sounds like a direct drive motor on this lathe, is that even a thing? Is your machine (lathe) a CNC?
1:02, 1:26 yeah it's a cnc
I need your lathe.. give it to me lol. I've never seen an open cnc lathe before but I want it.. I was just kidding about you giving me your machine.. but I do want it tho. 👍👍🤙
You just work hard, maybe you get one someday. You can't have this one, this is my baby 😂👍
what is the diameter of this chuck?
31.5" (800 mm)
How do you face and centre-spot the ends of such a massive (and irregular) piece of stock?
Strong 👍
That's a lot of inches!
Yeah, all 123 of them 😂👍
Nice 👌
I like your new tape measure. It's got bananas and metric.
Makes it easier for everyone.
how are you machining the radius & taper on a manual lathe so well
1:04 this is not a manual lathe.
مرحبا
Did you consider using a steady
Didn't really need one. I only have a roller steady rest and I don't like to use it on a chrome plated cylinder rod.
Mr Maj, Do you accept tool donations?
I just work here.
I hate hot jobs
That makes two of us. I'm way over that hot job shit.
@@ChrisMaj Ive been at work all weekend getting a couple of large hot jobs done. The day does fly by when working under pressure, but its not great for the stress levels 😅
@@bdude92 And guess what, you come back next week and that hot job is gonna be sitting on the floor.

No elegancko wyszło, gdzieś trzeba zacząć. Zwróć uwagę żeby nie nagrywać pionowo bo to ciężko się ogląda. Pozdrawiam.
@@ChrisMaj następne już kręciłem właśnie poziomo, Dzięki za dobra radę 💪💪💪
