2 step indication is the only way to be sure you have a good part if you have to flip it.

Awesome info!!

I'm only a hobbyist but I am very appreciative of that instruction that you give. Clear and concise. Can't beat it

I trained as a machinist 40+ years ago and am still glad that I found your site, as well as Stan Zinkowski's and Dale Derry's. I am learning a ton of stuff from you guys that I never learned back then. Keep up the great work, Joe!

Absolutely clear instruction, and I'll be doing these checks from now on every time. You are a fine educator and as a new machinist I so appreciate you sharing so freely what you know. And, what great topics, so very useful. Thanks Joe for this one too.

Thank you Joe love you videos I’m putting them in a folder for when my grandchildren are old enough to want to learn, I so hope they want to be craftsmen. TC

Once again you've explained more than I realized there was to learn. THANKS!

Holy Crap Joe, you just turned a light bulb on for me... I think.lol... last week I was drilling then boring a 4" piece of 1" od stock. I could not figure out wtf was going on because the bore was oversized on each end but tight in the middle... I now think I know why.. Thanks man, you rock

Great video! I've been a machinist for about 20 years now and this is a very good way to show somebody that's coming up in this trade how to think about late work critically.

Joe, i went to a trade school as a high school back in the 80's went through an apprenticeship and got my mold making papers. Before the Internet a trade school was the only place where you could learn the things that you are teaching. I wish that I had the opportunity that people have learning from the lessons that you are teaching. Your doing a great job and providing a good service to the young ( or old) people learning about machining. Keep up the good work

Seriously some of the best lathe advice I've heard. Great video.

Thanks for that Joe ,now I realise how concentricity can be so tricky, that explains why I had some problems with clock arbors not running smoothly, so your video was much appreciated, thanks buddy. Jim from Australia.

Thank you Joe! This is something I would have never thought to do. I owe a lot of gratitude for your great educational videos.

I have so much respect for you and your experience Joe. Thanks for caring about the trade so much that you make a real effort to share with another generation.

Great Joe. Really made sense and appreciate your time helping us. Your tips even work down here upside down in New Zealand. Cheers Mike

great video, I have seen more than a few people on youtube mess this up, and measuring taper incorrectly. Thanks for taking the time to show us the correct methods!

Finally, a video that makes sense. Much appreciated

Joe, I just used this technique today - I was going crazy trying to get a part true - making an offset bore through a part. Well, the bore axis I was starting with was not parallel to the OD of the part. Happily I had stock left, so I trued the face, clocked the length of the OD as a check and then bored the hole. Fixed - thanks for making all this info available.

Best advice ive been given in a looong time. Will never forget it and allways use it. Not all are willing to share their advice. And those stupid enough not to follow good advice and share it even more are not making the world any better. Thanx again. Your videos are awesome. Wish i had a machine shop... One Day. Maybe...

Joe, cant thank you enough for these jewels of wisdom !!!!!! They are taking my accuracy to a new level.

Thanks for watching.

I’m getting some of these earlier videos in my feed, always great reminders. I do special purpose tubes with a spiral hole down the middle the OD has to coaxial to the hole as does the threaded feature on one or bot ends. In addition to that the faces on the ends must be perpendicular to the hole. They are long so I either use a thin shop made chuck on the outboard end of the spindle to help support and align the job. A precision ground rod with various bushings are used to “reach “ down the hole from both ends create additional points to indicate. I might take a jump into this and make a video of the process. This set up can take some time as toy showed where you adjust in one point it affects another.

Thanks for doing this for everyone!! So many teachers right now don’t show anyone anything ! They tell everyone to look it up.

I have to say this is outstanding information for everyone! I work at a shop that is all CNC machines but these principles definitely apply! A lot of people don't understand what "running true" really means. thanks for the video.

Another great tip Joe, I am self taught, but tips from pros like yourself really help, once again many thanks, Jack from across the pond

Very clear and concise instructions. Thanks so much for taking the time share these nuggets of wisdom and experience.

School trained but never worked in the business so I'm dumb as a rock. Have a well equipped hobby shop and am learning more from your instructional videos than I did in 2 years of night school. Can't thank you enough. Wish I was closer - I'd sweep your floors.

I know what you mean. I got out of school (for the first degree) and got a job, quickly learning I did not know much. 20 machine shops later, I found out my last 5 bosses did not know much. :) Self employed now, and loving ever second of it. If you do want to get a job, (treat your jobs as a education you actually get paid for), I advise 2 things to accelerate your learning a great deal. 1) Never get a union job. In manufacturing, they have less skill than you do now, and never get much better. Can't start your won business that way. Today, because the talent pool is shrinking, non-union jobs are paying more than they ever did, but don't expect good pay until you have the experience. 2) The best place to work and gain skill is a "Job shop" where they work with a lot of different kind of materials and processes. The job shops are were the union shops send the more difficult work in many cases. You can learn some things with high volume production, but a job shop, you are doing something different every day, (usually). They can be tough to work for, but after about 3 shops, you will gain the skill to be able to be attractive to any shop who is hiring. I was a "job hopper", and that is often looked down upon, but most people looking for a new job were not "lifers" at any shop, so that is the choice a employer has. I earned some sill at ever job I had, (and thankful they all hired me,---even when I got fired; big mouth usually), but I earned a ton of skill working for any shops. Now my hobby turned into a business, and my machining skill set me apart from almost all of my competition, (modifying small gas engines for racing). I have to tell you,---it feels great making more money than any union worker in the world. :)

Joe I’v said it before ,but I have to tell you I have spent 50 years in engineering and trained as a toolmaker in the U.K. and just love you videos and learn or maybe relearn. So much from you.

Alcohol wipes/hand sanitizer and (surprisingly) dry erase markers will remove sharpie/permenant markers from dry erase boards. We used to do this on OPs boards while I was deployed, so we could keep somethings (columns and rows) permanently attached to the board and variably information (operations, locations, etc.) removable ... Just in case you hadn't already had this mentioned.

have a little home shop now been out of the areo space shop 25years and all i see you do i give you two thumbs up keep it up good job!!! AL

Thanks Joe the short but very informative section is a breath of fresh air ,also watched the section on tool height to centre was always shown to measure from centre of tail stock or a little bit down ,what u have shown me hear has saved me a lot of head scratching and aggravation as to why i couldn't get my work any better ,thank you so much.

Great tip Joe! New to machining and tips like this make for a great foundation of solid practices. Keep up the great work 👍😃

Last year I purchased a1984 lathe from a friend,s wife after he developed mental issues. I am self teaching with the aide of You Tube postings as he is unable to help me with any of the basics. As such I have been struggling with some of the runout issues you describe for over a year. I was thinking I had twist in my ways. I have checked and re-leveled and checked again and again using plumb bob methods and precision levels. It would look perfect but I still had accuracy issues with a thru hole not being centered on the back side. After seeing this video I feel certain I can make it work properly. I plan to watch all your postings and am certain I can learn much from you. THANK YOU The light has finally dawned!

Getting a lot of good ideas to true up ( to the best of its capabilities) my old Craftsman 109 benchtop lathe so I can refurbish old DC motors. This and your video for truing up a non adjustable chuck have given me a great place to start for ensuring the rotor assemblies from these motors I'm working with are straight and true. Just need to invest in a better dial indicator than the Harbor Freight I've had for almost 25 years, HA!

Hey Joe, my no.2 son and I have been watching your films with great fascination. Although I am a pharmacologist of 30 years my real passion is engineering especially as a boy and now as a older man! Being brought up by a grandfather who was a clock maker gave me the interest in engineering. My engineering ambition is to complete a model live steam loco (5") and watching your films has very much given me the understanding I need to work my growing workshop of old but still good equipment. Please keep the films up, we are finding them really great and hugely educational. Thankyou for all your efforts. Dave and Family, Kent UK.

Hey Dave. Great comment. Thanks. 2 guys you should also check out are Mr. Crispin and Chuck Tipton. If you need a little more inspiration for your project. I'll get off the gun stuff for a while and get back to shop videos, but I do appreciate you guys hanging in and allowing me to check that off my bucket list. Got some good stuff coming. Thanks for watching. By the way....I did my apprenticeship in a company that specialized in precision miniature components for the watch industry. I worked in the toolroom and built positioning fixtures for secondary operations. The parts were so small, a days production would fit in a pack of smokes and had to be weighed to be counted. A 100 parts would stick to the tip of your finger. I've been into fixtures and prototypes ever since.

Great videos. Technically very sound. Great help
