Well made and very useful attachment. I couldn’t figure out how it was going to work at first but it all came together at the end.

@WinkysWorkshop

Жыл бұрын

Yeah when I made part one I wasn't sure either. Thanks

If you don't mind a suggestion, take the bolts and drill the ends out and make a close fitting insert to touch the material, the insert can be just under the hole size in the bolt with a larger face (contact point) and oil holds a vacuum when they are pushed in, I did this with my center rest that I built. By drilling out the bolt and using an insert solves a couple of issue's, first being when the ends wear out you simply make a new one rather than having to turn the bolt to clean up the face, secondly when wear forms on the bolts face then you change the diameter of what you are turning the bolt surfaces wont want to conform to the material, with an insert you simply spin it and it conforms to the surface. This also allows the bolt to be made from steel rather than brass (nothing wrong with brass mind you) but a regular steel bolt is cheaper than brass and you can make Delrin inserts for the follower/center rest this way also. Just a suggestion.

Nice job 👍👍👍 Lil welding tip for you I'm sure In this application it's fine but when you're welding heavier plate especially without a bevel you should clean your mill scale down to shiny steel well anytime really but especially with smaller machines where you can't crank up the heat unfortunately mill scale is harder and takes more juice to burn through than the steel underneath so with smaller machines you're using a lot of your juice just to burn through the mill scale leaving you with less penetration in your actual base metal I'm not trying to criticize just passing on info there's some good demos on the subject on weld .come channel welding tips and tricks etc where the test compare and etch to see penetration etc again not trying to criticize you just sharing info 👍👍👍

Once was automotive gray primer with industrial enamel over the top and the second was with rustolium recommended primer and top coat. Both primers were lightly sanded before the top coat was applied. The automotive gray primer was terrible and the paint was much better applied to bare metal. The recommended rustolium primer did better but in both cases clean metal faired better. I'm not saying there isn't a good primer. I've just never had good luck with it.

Well as a rule always try to start with as shiny steel as possible no matter the thickness I find a 40-60 grit flap disc or the black clean and strip discs work fast for removing mill scale harbor freight has a clean and strip that isn't to expensive but the cheapest way it you've got the time is to just soak your parts overnight in vinegar mill scale will wash right off of its smaller and you're in a hurry you can use muratic acid only takes a couple minutes but obviously it's much more dangerous whichever if not being used right away parts need oiled cause they'll flash rust instantly after any acid and finally whichever acid you use prep the joints with a flap disc to shiny steel cause migs really don't seem to like the gray steel after acid cleaning it really only takes a couple seconds with a flapper or wire wheel to knock off that gray coating left after acid soak down to shiny steel and the arc Will be much better the other bonus to vinegar soak is it cleans inside as Well

I know lots of folks on KZread use that that remover that works great but is like 20 bucks a gallon I find if you can find 6% vinegar it works much faster than 5% and only cost a couple bucks I just lost mine through a fine paint gun filter to filter out the small that and scale left behind then just add more fresh vinegar as needed you can reuse it several times since metal has got so expensive I've been cleaning old stock much more for larger pieces you can easily make custom soak tube with some foam board tape and heavier plastic sheeting I usually take an evening fill a couple tubs with pure vinegar and clean then oil a bunch of stock at once so most of my small stock racks have clean material ready for whatever supposedly you can dilute with water but since it's pretty cheap I always use pure 6% vinegar if it's not bad it may only take couple hours if it's heavy rust I usually soak then after 4-5 hours scrub and flip pieces then let soak overnight 👍👍👍

Laziness or bad priorities Ha. I need to make some little jacks for the mill. They would be very easy to use and helpful. Adding a vise is a bit more work but I have done it. I guess it's all about what is needed to get it the job done well. I seem to have a good feel for the feed and speed limits when their is 3 or 4 inches of shaft hanging out of the mill vise unsupported :o) Bottom line the keyway worked perfect. As for this follow rest, there is no way to cut thread is a 1/2" rod over 6" long even when supported by the tail stock. So necessity is the driver on the lathe. Man this follow rest worked amazingly well but it also highlighted a significant misalignment on my lathe. The tailstock is low vertically and it gets worse the further it gets from the head stock. This indicated that the chuck end of the head stock is low. It lines up perfectly near the head stock.... I need to think about this, I've been working around this for a while.

Boa noite, excelente trabalho. Mas fiquei com a seguinte dúvida: a ponta da luneta que é em bronze e/ou latão, está sempre em contato com a peça em movimento e girando e com isso acaba ficando com um raio que se acomoda no diâmetro da peça, no seu caso entendi que o apoio é uma rosca direto, sem uma ponta de contato encaixada na extremidade pra encostar na peça com o desgaste natural do atrito peça/apoio de contato, e aí como faz pra manter a pressão e contato na peça durante a usinagem, se vai formar um sulco no contato de apoio Não sei se deu pra entender a minha dúvida. Abraço e obrigado.

Sim, desgasta a peça e mais ainda ao cortar a linha. A melhor solução seria ter um parafuso de ajuste com uma extremidade que não gire. No entanto, o desgaste é muito leve. A única pressão no parafuso é quando a peça é defletida. Funcionou muito bem e o desgaste não criou um problema.
