Luv the sound of Keith’s lathe starting up in the morning. Sounds like… victory.

Keith back making some chips and a guy gets his machine back working, good video

I concur :)

My largest 5C is also 1" so greatly appreciate the idea for making a step-up arbor. You always do a great job of not only machining but also explaining and documenting the project. You would make a great classroom teacher.

Incandescent light gives machining work a nice warm glow.

Well done Keith. Even though I do not have any machinist tools, I always enjoy your skills and videos. My late godfather was a machinist for Bethlehem Steel many years ago, and also had a metal lathe and milling machine in his attic workshop. He made many parts for my dad's lawnmower repair shop.

Good videl, nice to hear the train running in the background. ..

Always like watching a Master at work and your calm voice and attitude is superb. I heard a train in the back ground. I live in WV and thought I heard Cass railroad in the background.

Great job Keith , Good of you to help out a viewer !! Thumbs up..

Nicely done, Keith. It's good that you pointed out that not every measurement needs to be down to the micron. Sometimes a feature just needs to be there and not be perfect. I bet you just made someone very happy though! Hope you got home from NC smoothly and have some time to relax this weekend. Sincerely, Tom Z

Enjoyed it Keith!

Nice, helping others while in the midst of a large project of your own. Thanks

Good stuff Keith

Nice project to help out a viewer.

Thanks Keith.

You are the Norm Abams the Lathe! "Dixie Workshop." I just love your videos, Keith. Thanks for teaching us.

Years ago, I considered starting the "Old Rebel Workshop" as a spin off of his "New Yankee Workshop". I guess I missed my chance though - now days that would be considered politically incorrect and I would probably be called a racist.

Really enjoy watching you cut those threads!

THANK YOU...for sharing. Thanks for letting me tag along.

yes!! great use of quick fade-out/fade-in as a transition! LOVE IT!!! in the industry, we call it "kissing black" -- well done!!!

Thanks Keith, as always, some basic machining techniques that we learn from.

Nice job. You get lots of interesting projects.

Nicely done, Keith. Another fine "mystery metal" repurpose job.

Nice to see you back in your natural habitat!

NICE PROJECT. THANKS KEITH

Always good to see smoke and metal fly. Nice job.

Always fun to see you running the lathe!

Nice part Keith, good job.

Hello Keith,Great work and nice to see a bit lathe work again.Greetings from Roel !

keith nice work.

glad to see you getting in some lathe time. nice job on that part

That was a nice project to watch. I was suprised to see how easily the part came off the arbor, after the thru. hole was put in, I thought maybe it would give some resistance coming off.

Nice project. Thanks for sharing.

nice to see some machining

good job!!!

Thank you!

nice to see you making chips on the old machines.

I was surprised that you didn't chuck that part up in your super spacer to drill the holes. But then, it never occurred to me that you also had the collet block you could use. Nice video of a small but interesting project.

Great video! I noticed you chose to upper limit of the tolerance for the press fit. It said 1.120 (+0.005 -0.000). If that were me I would have felt a lot more secure going for something in the middle, say 1.123.

Amazing job Keith :) not commented much lately I know your getting far behind but always watching

G'day Keith,I see a lot of people in these KZread videos using cutting oil with tungsten carbide tipped tools and always wonder why ? All it does is waste oil and produce greenhouse gas smoke. It will not increase the life of the tool or give you a better finish. These tips are designed to run hot and while in production machining there is a case for using flood coolant to keep the job cool for dimension accuracy, it is a waste of oil otherwise.Regards Dave Tointon

You'll get a lot better surface finish every time when you use cutting oil-!!

I´m pretty sure you could have used the 1/2 function for the 5/8th division without a problem. On the left side your .500 edge finder´s center is .0625 left of the target spot, at the right flange it´s .0625 right of the target. Half of both, well centered, I think.

Well done Keith, Love this type of work let it roll I can dig it.

Nice scribe job :D

Hi Keith Thank you for another excellent video - I really learn a lot from these. I wonder if you could do a 'laymans' video on Steel. I notice you use different types of steel you find at the museum and come up with approximate description. I have found Mild Steel and Hot Rolled steel to be the least desirable steels to work with as they seem gummy and leave poor finishes but am at a loss as to what would be the next in quality. I'm thinking a video just on some basics not elaborate. Thanks again Rod

Good video all round Keith. Being from Scotland it always amuses me that you guys still work in fractions of an inch and yet have to program your machines in a decimal way. Metric measurement would be the way to go, but I guess you've heard that before. Anyway I always enjoy watching your work and love what you're doing with your own new workshop. If Scotland was a little closer I'd have been over to help you with that ceiling. Best Wishes for the holiday season ahead.

Hi Keith. I am suprised you did not use a guard to stop you damaging your hand or arm on the chuck teeth that were protruding out of the chuck. I was quite scary to watch. Why not make a video on the safe use of a lathe. Thanks for all your time and effort in making these videos.

John Westbrook 100 years ago there were no guards, there was something called COMMON SENSE, people just paid attention and kept their hands out of the way. I'm legally blind and I took the stupid guard off my 1953 Cincinnati lathe, I've yet to have a close call with the chuck and I can't even see it while working on the lathe; I have zero (0) peripheral vision to the left on either eye, I do however pay attention.

I heard the Vulcan in the background. I take it that is fully up and running again.

As a long-time viewer, non-machinest I always enjoy your videos Keith. One question often comes to my mind. What determines when you use a lubricant for what material. It appears that lubrication is not usually needed when working cast iron or brass/bronze, but I noticed on this project you would sometimes use oil, and other times not. Is there a general rule of thumb when lubrication is needed? Does it vary with the cutter being used?

@duobob

7 жыл бұрын

FYI, not Keith, and I understand you are not a machinist. Common lubricating oils do not usually make good cutting oils. Here is a primer on what it is all about: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_fluid

@VintageMachinery

Generally speaking, I try to use a cutting oil when I am cutting steel and making moderate to heavy cuts. Sometimes on light cuts, I will not use oil. For cast iron and bronze, I tend to not use any cutting oil.

Couldn't you have used the edge finder against the washer?

Yes, but what about the backyard shop?

likely a stabilizer flange. Though a 1.125" arbor is quite big, perhaps European? Most euro saws are 30mm though which is bigger than 1.125"..

Does it really matter, if the holes for the pin spanner go all the way through?

Nice to see you making chips ... Am I being too fussy, but shouldn't the flange be trued up after it's mounted on the table saw arbor?

If the arbor is straight, it should not need truing up.

I have an old 10" Unisaw. Out of curiosity, I just checked my blade, arbor, and fence with an indicator. The blade was on the money at table level, the arbor runout was negligible, but the fence toed in about 0.002". That was fixed with a slight adjustment. I usually have the fence toe out 0.001 to 0.002 ....
