I am 18 I really enjoy your videos. I especially this series as I need to make a collet chuck for my Myford which I am converting to CNC

Fascinating commentary ! I'll have to go back to listen to the first part video.

Thanks for the comment The only critical dimension is the diameter of the register A plug guage was made for this using a micrometer

As always... another excellent video. Look forward to part three. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Excellent video as always.

This was an excellent video! Thanks so much for posting this!

Nice methodical approach and good practice, I like it! Looking forward to the finished product.

The compound angle was wrong I did a few cuts using the cross slide this cleaned things up It is bad enough machining threads with out trying to video them Thanks for your constructive comment

thanks for the education, nice job

Loved the intro. Take care of your tools and they will take care of you. I like your way of thinking, I have the tools, if I don't have what I need, I'll make it. - That sounds a lot like an Atlas lathe when you have the gears uncovered. LOL -

its a good project!...when my Hendey lathe is finished i will make a collet chuck for it too...just havent decided which er32 or other

Very interesting

I believe that's why he made the plug gauge, in part 1.

got toolpost, its great, glad i came across your vids. cheers

Hi The lock lever is just a bit of stainless hex par threaded with a handle welded in to it John

Every get that deja vu feeling, I'm sure I have read something like this before. Oh yes I remember, I wrote it much earlier myself.;>) Just goes to show that great minds really do think alike.;> );>)

I like the lever action lock nut on the quick change tool post. Did you make it from a set of plans? If you did would you be willing to share them?

Experienced, er yes. Machinist, I suppose so. Myford owner, well amongst others but prefer my Colchester. I really must get a video camera, so that I can join you lot in Youtubia and show how to do things properly (only kidding) :>)

Hi I bought the tool post I have made holders for it John

I can understand using calipers for a quick reference but they are at best "guestimators"? Internal and external mics should be used for precision work as in this application IMHO

Love your vids...how do you know your boring tool is square to the job ?.... where or how did you make that saddle stop ?....

The locking nut with handle on your QC tool post is that something you have made ???

Got it lad, just scrolled down n see someone else asked !!

Forgive me saying this but it looks like you have your top slide set to nearer 60 odd degrees rather than 29 1/2, Remember it is half thread angle relative to the cross slide not lathe axis! If it is just the camera angle, please ignore the above.

Hi John - Really enjoy your video's. Had a Boxford lathe here in British Columbia Canada sold it 8 months ago. 2 questions: 1) Would you be willing to make a set of basic drawings for the collet chuck for a fee? 2) From the mine video I got the feeling you might live close to New Castle or Newbiggin? My Dad was born there.

thanx, must take ages to make those videos

is that tool post chinese? can you tell me what make it is or whatever, so i can look on ebay. cheers keef

It is indeed bought from Chronos (ebay)

Hi John, I have the same style tool post on a 1945 Southbend lathe. I was actually asking about the brass/bronze lock nut at the top of the tool post. I notice in some of your earlier videos that it is the original steel hex nut. At some point you changed it to the current lever action nut. It is a beautiful looking thing, along with the custom knobs at the ends of the shafts.

Compound slide is set WRONG

Hi John, I am a new subscriber lad. Just got a Boxford AUD mk 2 and would like to know where you got the quick change tool post from for your Boxford, Cheers Anth

Sorry make that "Ever" not "Every"
