well it's a lathe kzread.infoUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.

I'm sorry Ton', but the correct answer to "what's your favourite chuck" is always "Norris". Just in case.

I want to see the handpuppets !!! After I discovered that the runout on my 3-jaw was up to 6 thou, I started using my 4-jaw more and more. For the first few weeks it was really frustrating, but then I got a little system working and I found it to be almost relaxing. There is a sense of accomplishment of getting a part centered in the 4-jaw to better than a half a thou. I haven't seen my 3-jaw for a year or so.

Great content as always. Only one gaping hole in this storyline, Tony. Adjustable backplate chucks. They can make a three jaw run on center, but only because they are effectively a four jaw on one side with a three jaw on the other. I suppose Clickspring would include the cyanoacrylate chuck on the list. 😎

Im not going to "ignore that part you didnt see" Im going to be highly critical of it. 1.It felt like it went by way too fast and almost like It was gone before I wad able to digest any of the information 2. I was really diggin that interpretive dance number you and your cats did. 3. There was wayy too much stuff you left out for me. Maybe your more experience viewers dont need all the hand holding but to me the information seemed a bit empy.

I'm not a machinist, nor do I own a lathe, however I do enjoy expanding my knowledge, mostly though it's the witty humor that brings me back to these videos.

The basics is the best way to get a good feel for workers! Thanks

Fantastic work Tony thank you - CHUCKled all the way through !

As for your comments about editing, I've posted a few videos myself where my arms are in shot (but not in your league) and now have a special T-shirt set aside to keep continuity as a 10 minute video can take several days / a week to film.

I enjoy your videos. Your a very intelligent fella with great sense of humor

Man, your hilaruous, love your videos and you ' re dry humor. What I think is funny is that i used to want to eccentric machine every thing, in a 4 jaw, and get a dividing mechanism on a tail stock so you could make, like, eccentric spiral staircases, just how artfully can Manuel machining get, ya know. now I just appreciate being able to make accurate simple parts.

I find it amazing that Stephane uses a 3jaw and simply loosens the backplate and centers the work with an indicator. I've never seen anyone do that, but he makes it work well. So that basically destroys Tony's position that the 3jaw can't do accurate work holding. I think they need to step outside and settle this like men, with chuck keys. Last man standing. They should probably settle the magnetic chuck question at the same time.

i only do metal work at school and this man makes it look like a baby could do it inspires so fucking much i love his content he could get a paper sheet and talk about it then some how still make it entertaining

My metal lathe is a bit older. It has a finished surface and a threaded spindle. The face plate(s), Four and Three jaw thread on and seat on the finished surface. I also have the double angle Collets and Morse 4 head-stock. When I took delivery from Dad, I had the 3-jaw a bit out more than expected. I found the chuck was threaded on with small strips of brass in the threads and on on the finished surface. This canted the chuck and imposed the error. I cleaned the spindle and then looked at the chuck. It was full of chips also. Many years of chips found their way into the chuck. I checked the numbers and extracted the jaws and was able to clean and lube the spiral. Naturally, the 4 jaw was like new as were the face plates. I added the nice Collet and much more. What I learned was to buy as good as I could because I might upgrade the mill or lathe and would keep the quality options. I enjoy the lathe that Dad and I bought together in the basement of a massive hardware store in 1952. I used it yesterday. I hope someone will look at their chucks and find the error they chased.

Awesome, enjoyed it and learned few things along the way.

Awesome as always! Maybe worth a mention that many smaller lathes, particularly of the precision bench type, have integral collet tapers in the spindle, eliminating the need for a collet chuck.

Thank you - I really need this information!

Right now my lathe is wearing a taper adaptor right in the nose which features a BT30 / 30 INT / SK30 internal taper as I am making a new touch-probe mount for the milling machine. (Due to historical reasons my milling machine is 30 INT on the horizontal and SK30 / BT30 on the vertical). If you find yourself making milling-spindle tooling often then I think that it's an attachment worth having. I also have two 3-jaw chucks. One wears inside jaws, the other wears outside jaws. It's quicker to change chucks than change jaws. (and leaves me the option of changing jaws if I need to leave something in the chuck). I have also made an adaptor for my milling machine dividing head that takes the same chucks as the lathe (I am D1-4 all over now) so that I can easily transfer work. And one other point, I managed to find a driving centre on eBay. That's a headstock-end centre with a set of drive dogs, a bit like they have on woodworking lathes. The inner centre point and drive dogs are linked (hydraulically or just with a viscous rubber) and that allows you to machine the entire outside surface of a shaft in one setup. They mar the shaft end, but in practice, who cares? There are also internal and external step-chucks. These are pulled up by a collet tube as normal but use a closer-ring or expander cone. This is a set for a Holbrook lathe. photos.app.goo.gl/YLkjdYjnZ1wcmdrM2 (I covet them, they belong to someone else)

Thanks for having us.

Was not expecting to be entertained, but I’m glad I was.
