I’m going to need to make an adapter plate from my new plain back 4 jaw chuck to D1-4 on my lathe. In the near future. So this was timely appearance in my feed.

Sounds like a nice project! Getting the face and taper contact relationship correct sounds challenging. Maybe you already know but backplates for D-style spindles are widely available pre-machined to correct spec if you want to save the hassle.

Great work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

Very nice! I'm just curious about the slotting. Why not cut the majority of the slot with the end mill, then just clean out the corners with the slotting tool? I'm actually going to do that process today on a timing pulley. Thanks

Good question, I kind of brute forced my way through this one. It works but the slot depth was not critical since the key is bolted into the spindle. I don't think I have and end mill that long in that diameter or smaller. It would have been better to use a larger bar with a HSS toolbit mounted to have a stiffer slotting action and a tool with more relief behind the cutting edge. I could have also made a narrower slotting tool reducing the cutting force and just step over to get to the size. All lessons for next time :)

Hi man. I have a Ramo T-37. When you measure is "6 teeth per inch" but the gauge is metric 60. Can u help me with that ? and the number of those gear at the back to get 4.23mm pitch cause mine íntruction aluminium sheet is fade. Tks man

The gauge is double sided, one half is for metric threads, the other half is for 55° pipe threads. I was using a leaf from the 55° pipe thread side. 6 TPI happens to be one of the pitches used in pipe threads. The threading tool has a 60° angle to form the correct thread profile. It's not a pipe or Witworth thread so it's not 55°. On my machine the the gears and gear selectors to cut in 6 TPI need to be as follows: Gears from the spindle to the gearbox: A:40 teeth B:45 teeth C:40 teeth D:60 teeth E:63 teeth Gears B and C are on the same shaft, gear A meshes with B and C meshes with D There are 5 gearbox selector knobs, if your sheet is gone I will tell you the positions of each knob from left to right: Knob 1: Neutral position (middle) Knob 2: Left position (counter clockwise) Knob 3: Neutral position (middle) Knob 4: Right position (clockwise) Knob 5: Right position (clockwise, this is the threading or feeding selector) You can contact me on Instagram @ed_and_t if you want a detailed image of the whole sheet

I haven't planned a specific video about it because I made it before starting to make videos. Sounds like a fun idea though. If you want to know specific things about it you can always ask.

Yeah I was pretty surprised at the amount of porosity. The previous backplate I made out of a casting for a DIN 800 spindle adapter had much less porosity. Maybe I’ll make the next one from steel.

It would be better if you made it from aluminium😄, your material is too soft
