This is the classic Abom79 video. A long shaft, journals, keys, threads, all the elements of a true Adam Booth machining video.

I predominantly listen to your vids and MAN that new shop is quiet. No sirens, road noise, Dodge Chargers, etc. It must be a dream for you!

The thing I like the most about his videos is that he is explaining what he is doing. It really makes a difference

This may sound like a silly suggestion, but for those of us who have no legit training with stuff like this, can you do a video that covers your process that you use to clean up at each end of the day? I know it may seem boring to lots of people, but I think it's also one of those sort of questions that nobody asks but many wonder about. Among those things, it would also be interesting to know what you do with all your swarf.

I just realised, Abom is not just an awesome machinist, he is also a very good camera operator and video producer. There are no bad or uninteresting camera shots, everything you could wonder about is explained, and it is professionally edited.

Anders - I agree! It's pretty obvious he has taken his production seriously over the years, constantly improving.

Yea the old Adam is back! Boy I can't believe how much I missed these real machining videos. Adams shaft turning experience is amazing. Thank you Mr Booth. Keep them coming.

Well another peaceful breakfast watching Mr Abom79 work his excellent magic, while enjoying 3 eggs sunny side up and a garlic knot. Love ur knowledge and skill.

Awesome! Thanks for the Friday afternoon video, it goes perfect with a Friday CEE video!

I love the indicating. That is why I subscribed. That is why I joined Patreon to support this channel. I can _not_ express how much I enjoy seeing every single second of "indicating", in real time. Never ever stop showing _all_ of the indicating. Watch the needle at 14:50. Not a quiver. That is amazing.

You do the dialing in so... robotically, it's relaxing to watch, it's like watching a "precision" CNC machine operating. (hint,hint) LOL I remember the big stuff, you always get that part done so well, no matter the size. In 1972, I got to watch the giant ships crankshaft lathe/grinder in a Sasebo, Japan shipyard, it was programmed and run by punch cards. I had tea with the operators in their luxury work station, very formal and proper. None of those guys could do that that work on manual equipment, there was a 70 year old master machinist that ran things, he was an apprentice and worked on the Yamato battleship.

It really is satisfying watching you indicating and setup a part to work on. It's even more satisfying to practice at home and see how all i've learned from watching your video's is working out really good for me. Thanks for that!!!!

I subscribed back when you had very low subscribers. I think less than 100k. I am still here, but I miss your garage shop videos. Super happy that you are on the up and up and got the new shop. However if you were to do an "Old shop thursdays" series I think you would do well and a lot of us long time subscribers would love it. Think on it.

I certainly am part of Team-"show the indicating". It’s very satisfying.

Was actually just thinking about the indicating. Hopefully taking some classes in the fall(!!), but right now I mostly watch for entertainment. The indicating makes the process feel complete. It's kind of silly but I feel like I want to "make sure" the part is going to come out to spec along with you. 🤣😁 If the classes work out I'm sure it will be even more helpful when I try to do this myself. Enjoying the videos as always.

Just occured to me that Fireball should offer a laser etcihing option on those tables. A couple of full-length scales across the top would be handy.

Yes I agree Adam - I love watching indicating 🙂

That new lathe is unnaturally quiet, its a true beast...

14:39 When I was at the power plant (on construction and assembly) Part of my job as running this tired old lathe :) .. I put the 4 jaw on it the first job I did, and never took it off :) ... It also kept almost anyone else from using the lathe :)

Oh wow that shaft is the perfect apprentice/resumé type piece if you're looking for machining job, especially lathe focused. Long shaft, all sorts of features with keys, pins, threads etc.

Adam I love your work I am a 72 year old mechanical engineer retired from a plant engineering career I have done it all as a jack of all and master of none from drafting welding matching if I lived in GA I would love to work with you as your apprentice for free just to learn your abilities you are very talented my friend!

Your work habits and methodology with the details of indicating, measuring and work holding is exactly what keeps me coming back. Thank you!

Put the centre in your lathe and run an indicator along it while its spinning. If the needle isn't bouncing at any point along the length then check the tapper angle. Maybe the piece you pressed in caused a slight deformation in the taper

New video, yessss! I thoroughly enjoy your content. It's relaxing. Even the intro music.

I like seeing the indicating, not because i work in machining but because I don't - get to see a craftsman in his trade and i like to see the details.

For roughing harder materials like your pre-hardened 4140 or even superalloys, I like to use the Iscar IC chipbreakers. Usually 80 deg geometry (cnmg or wnmg) or even 100 deg (cnmg). For finishing, I like the Kennametal CNGP KC inserts. (CNGP KC5010 is my go-to on Inconel 718)

Loooove the fireball table!!!!!!!

Man, do I love machine tools and workpieces shining brightly!👍😀

For me, the setup, indicating and tooling are some of my favorite parts. There are so many ways to approach different situations, seeing some of the thought process is very helpful for me when I approach new projects. Thanks for sharing.

Fast forward is there for the impatient. Play is there for those who are along for the whole ride.

Abom79, everyone knows you’re a leading indicator! 🤪

I’d dipped out of KZread for a while so have missed a lot. Great to see the new shop up and running. I’m also firmly in the “show the indicating” camp.

Good ole Aboms machining. That's why we are here! Its always a pleasure to watch you work with the 4 jaw. Any chance you would put some of those insert numbers in the description or link them in your store? Thanks again!!

Great content. When I think how I came to your channel, a This Old Tony video that had a funny cameo of yours, I feel so lucky to have found your channel. I enjoy watching the indicating and setups you employ. I’m not a machinist but really enjoy seeing you make and fix things. Your delivery is a big part of why I enjoy your content.

At age 17, I had the opportunity the understurdy a crankshaft grinder as part of my training as a motor mechanic and seeing you do those indication, gives me such great pleasure. At almost 60 years, I find the indicating technic very nostalgic and therapeutic. Thank you bro Adam.

this comment isn't just for Adam its for anyone doing longer skinnier shafting. if you need precision you should really be checking the deflection of the steady when you set it up. a job this long will have a small sag to the middle. so just touching the rollers to it will have it a little low. putting your DTI magnetized to the job and indicating against the chuck you will see how much the shaft is being moved by the steady. example if the back roller is a little high and front a little low all 3 will still be making contact but the shaft will be pushed slightly forwards meaning you will cut a slight taper to your workpiece, the same as if the tailstock were misaligned. also any vibration on the steady will be amplified in the cut. so be sure to get a better surface finish than you need on the bearing surface also be sure to oil the bearing if it galls the shaft it will quickly ruin your whole weekend.

Finally someone giving the tape measure and a keen eye the respect they deserve. Been taking some precise tape measurements for years!!

Adam, everyone of your vids is a learning experience! Wonderful work as always. Eric

Nice video. I like the way you explain about different types of inserts and why you choose one over the other. And I agree with other viewers about the quality of the video production. Top notch!

@julianstafford7071

I think a lot of the talk about inserts is related to product placement.

It's awesome and somewhat reassuring to see someone actually DEMONSTRATE how accurate the human eye is using a simple scale and being able to differentiate and resolve 1/64th inch, or for the machinists among us, 0.0156, 0r 156 TEN THOUSANDTHS of an inch.. YES, I can split those hairs THAT fine, just by eye, it just takes a bit of practice, and time on the job.. Awesome stuff. Git it!!

Awesome setup

For me the most comfortable way to measure a shaft like that would be to get out the ol' 61"-62" micrometer and measure it (I don't trust v blocks on a table like that so I would hold the shaft in one hand and the mic in the other)

@MrBlaadieblaa

Yes that's the way to go for sure😁

Physics. Gotta take into account bending moment, force of cut, etc, etc, etc. Amazing how well you manage all those variables.

I miss the videos of you making those huge shafts at your old job

I was told 65 years ago by my Father ..3 jaw chucks are for holding hex stock...I always use a four jaw...Made things easer dialing in a four jaw... mark your chuck with Dykem on # 1 and #2 ...Helps not getting confuse witch jaw you loosen.......Robbie

great to see you in the new workshop. cheers Trevor from oz

The old 10 thousands ground eyeball measurement method! It does work. Just expect to be using a magnifier in your later years Adam.

That follow rest seems a good choise. New stuff is not worse always.

19:00 - to help with fine chips going everywhere issue. Collect all empty cans, card board, old shims just anything really that can be cut into a sort of L shape. Put it in with your tool holder, clamp it and manipulate into a position that’ll make the chips follow a curve downward path into the chip pan, you’ll have very minimal chips find their way out of the machine

Another great show. Thank you!

Just got my espresso, time to watch some Abom! Best start to my weekend so far!

It's good to see paying work come into the new shop, I hope many more jobs come your way, and as always great video

Appreciate you booth. Always learn something good from you

That new lathe is great!

Big stuff (-! Abom79 was the first KZread channel where I saw big pieces being machined.

Enjoyed watching this episode

Just saw the repaired press in action..works like a champ.

“Stickers don’t smell good when you machine them.” LOL!

Nice to see you flinging some chips in the new shop.

Reminds me of your all "classic" videos. Man, I really enjoy watch you indicate. Probably, because I'm not the one doing it. Haha!

Great stuff, that FT table is outstanding, I thought you'd chop the sticker end off to keep in your scrap pile 😀

Your ausio with that lovely lathe is now awesome!

Cool job! Looks fun!

Coat the live center's shaft in dykem and insert it into your talestock to see where it is touching. The plug you pressed into it might have bulged the end of the taper preventing it from seating.

11:00 you have some super equipment😍. Very nice new shop.

I learned how to 4 jaw indicate in high school. The shop teacher showed me how to run the lathe and whenever he wanted anything important set up in the machine, he would only let me indicate it in. Then in college for heavy diesel, we had to take a machine shop course. That was way back in 78 and 80. I still to this day use welding and machine shop techniques when doing projects around the house, on vehicles, tractors and equipment.

Really enjoyed this one.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!

That would have been a nice job for the CNC lathe. Unbelievable finish you get. Sweet.

This is going to be an interesting job. My first thought, though, is "Could Keith Fenner straighten this?" I've seen several videos of him straightening marine shafting. Maybe he could look at the old shaft as a backup.

Like all the info thanks for sharing
