As a 25 year Journeyman Machinist I was going to give you my thoughts on process improvement. Then I stopped. This was entertaining (in a good way of course!)to watch and I enjoyed the series you put together. You had adversity dealt from the get go with such a tight deadline, however, in the end you overcame, you persevered and you conquered. Thanks for sharing! 👍

I heard that! Thanks for following the series!

This series sure proved the need for stops. Production is something I haven't done. But I'm gonna work on stops for the rest of my gear. the ability to take the constant measuring to spec out of the process sure speeds everything up. Well done. Thanks for the quick education. Your blood wasn't wasted on me!!

Thanks Shawn, it was a LOT of repeated operations to complete 40 pieces accurately in just 2.5 days from raw bar stock. Not one of my more polished series....but showed what it is like under the gun and a deadline and no room for "excuses". A day in the life of a machinist. Thanks for watching

Gauge blocks would be the great way to space off the drill bit. My father taught me how to use gauge blocks for all kinds of things on the lathe. You probably don't have a set but man are they great for little issues like that.

@tano1747

Or just take time to face off a piece of scrap material to the length you needed for this project as an improvised single- use gauge block?

I really enjoyed this series. If this is a repeat job I would suggest soft jaws. On one side just straight with a back wall so the part can't push in. The other with a relief in the back to clear the pin head. Also to break a chip well your nose radius needs to be smaller then your depth of cut. If I made the mistake of drilling first I would have tried to groove it down close to size so it didn't hit it every pass.

Those are really good ideas sir

I know rigidity is a major player here but i turn 4140 more than anything else for equipment pins. i have found that lower speeds and heavy cuts give me better results and the chips turn out beautiful. It's gotten to where i Love to turn 4140 due to its beautiful finish. I still run into problems with it moving into the chuck especially when its a clean surface in the chuck, so i made a chuck stop for it. Also it work hardens when it gets hot. I use a noga cool mister and that helps a ton. Nice work overall. ( and yes i drill the hole after the turning lol)

@MakinSumthinFromNuthin

I ran the higher speeds for the sole reason of making the deadline....I soon realized at the beginning I was never gonna make it. 4140 is great stuff, gonna use it much more often....and when I am not in a hurry...LOL

Takes a lot of time to find zero with drill then dial in, would it be possible to pull the head up against the back of the jaws to index it then face to same zero on the carriage for every part buddy? Thx for the vid.

I saw too much risk of error if the length was off on any so took the safe route, was only 4 min each and was ahead of schedule by that point. Thanks for all the great comments Steve

Just put drill against jaw Set a carriage stop and face They will all be the same

If you had to do it over, what would you do differently?

@MakinSumthinFromNuthin

5 жыл бұрын

Hmmmmm, Make a proper stop for the chuck to avoid pushing the work into it Use a left hand turning tool when turning away from the chuck as I did towards the end Use a parting tool to create a groove before turning away from the chuck to avoid plunging Not drilled the hole prior to turning to a diameter make additional carriage stops to ensure quick repeatability on length dimensions Allow extra machining time, 2.5 days was pushing the limit for a manual machine for 40 pieces (in my opinion) Richard

The guys that do the canister welded pattern steel should hit ya up for some of those chips an rounds. Mixed with some of that powder an beat into a blade....... Also like to say it appears you work well under pressure
