As someone who has to be creative and find workarounds it's nice to see a channel where the machinist does the best he or she can with the tools that they have or they make them. Far too many seem to have limitless resources and a new machine or high value tool simply appears when it is needed. Side projects are a way of life.

That was a significant amount of backlash on the shaper table feed, I don't blame you for wanting a new lead screw. The 2mm pitch will also make more precise and fine cuts too.

Good thinking Rustinox re-using the drive end of the leadscrew. The pin that you mentioned to fix the two parts together will act as a sheer pin if it's not too hard. Cheers Tony

G'day Rusty. Another Great Video showing what you can do & overcome with what you have. So many side jobs & parts but you still going forward. While you have Snow, here in Perth Australia we have 38 to 40 ++ so have fun in the cooler weather, while we melt. Lol😅😊

I share the frustration when the job just gets more and more complex. Just looking at the set angle on the top slide for thread cutting - is it 15 from 0 or 15 from 90? You have me thinking ... Cheers

@Rustinox

The top slide isn't at a specific angle. It's just to clear the tail stock. To cut the trhead I plunge in at 90°.

Hopefully just the shear pin on the lathe leadscrew Rusti and nothing more serious. Before you go too far, I would cut your old leadscrew at your intended split line to make sure it is soft enough for you to machine. Would hate for you to find that out after lots of hours have gone into the new threaded part. Cheers, Jon

@Rustinox

The old lead screw is soft. I checked it with a file. (without dragging on the backstroke)

Hi Michel. It may be an illusion, but your origonal leadscrew looks like a Acme thread & the one you are making looks to be a fine thread. I am obviously missing something in my old age. Steve.

@Rustinox

4 ай бұрын

Your eyes didn't fool you, Steve. You're right. The original has a 4mm pitch and the new one 2mm. I'll explane why in the next video.

And that's why we need two lathes in the workshop, for the inevitable side projects. I wish I could disappear like that when my partner comes looking for me with a "man job" in mind.😂 Regards, Preso

Odd that we both have lead screw videos this week, although I cheated and bought a Ball Screw, there's always some damn problem to overcome with these projects, I copped a couple in my latest video as well. If you have stopped watching my videos because of the ads, the good news is I'm seriously considering getting rid of them and going down a different path. 👍
