What a wonderful collection of industrial sculpture Rusti. Maybe the local museum could take them off your hands. For your turning between centres, you could reverse centre by installing a fixed centre in your new MT2 taper, and centre drilling a piece of stock in your chuck. 👍

I found that sometimes drilling in too many steps causes drill bits to start wandering off. I usually just pre-drill anything above 8mm, and then pre-drill just the size of the blunt bit in the center of the drill which doesn't do any cutting. Drilling 6,8,10,... will usually not leave enough material for the drill to center itself - I find myself drilling 4,20 for example. Acme threaded rods and nuts can be purchased pretty cheap - if all else fails, it might be easiest to just buy the pieces, weld one into the quill and machine the other to become the spindle.

@Rustinox

Brilliant work! If you check your local sources, you may be able to buy acme rod pre-threaded sections. I'm not competent enough to make them, so I buy sections once in a while. I also bought the tap, which is about $120, but you get a precise fit, and it saves a lot of time. However, because you are cutting square threads, its a really tough job turning that tap! It takes a lot of force and a lot of patience, even on brass it can be a challenge.

@Rustinox

6 ай бұрын

Hell no!. The body is in more or less good condition.

If i were to speculate, i would guess that the elliptical lathe finish is mostly due to material deflection... Running between the centers can easily bow out the material due to pressure on both ends and lack of o.d. square reference support... I would definitely go with a follower rest on the carriage... That center bore also weakened the material somewhat, aiding the potential deflection alongside the centers holding... Not saying that running the centers was a bad idea, but generally, i would run a follower in such a scenario... This is funny, as i still recall Abom losing his shit over Monarch not cutting a perfect leadscrew that is 1/3 the diameter of this part, the length of this part(i think its around the ballpark) and without any follower support... Blamed the poor Monarch for his lack of foresight... Either way, a nice project, and im glad to see you finally using some proper larger pieces of stock... Also, the lapping of the quill is pretty much mandatory in scenarios like this one... Hell, with two lathes, i would consider line boring that tailstock on the other lathe and then just giving it a lick with a custom lap to mirror that bore... Also, for such work, its great to have a cyl. bore hone... They can help reveal any uneven wear patterns with just a quick run through the bore, as you see the evenly worn areas being honed shiny and the dips remain as they were... They are an amazing cylindricity and wear indicator, if not an outright material removal tool for some usecases... All the best and kind regards! Steuss

@Rustinox

The part has a diameter of 48mm. That doesn't bent with a 0.2mm cut. I think it comes from the wear in the lathe bed.

@camillosteuss

7 ай бұрын

@@Rustinox Hmmm, its true that that is a thick part, so it very well could be just the lathe bed trouble... But keep in mind that cutting even slight depths with anything but the sharpest and pointiest cutter can easily push against the part, and we never really use the sharpest and pointiest tools, as that kind of tool turns into blunt tool in an instant in steel of any grade, let alone higher grade steels... I jumped at material deflection conclusion as you said its elliptical, which generally is contrary to the patterns resulting from bed wear... Dunno, cant say absolutely for sure, but i think you are right, it is likely mostly due to bed wear... All the best!

Got yourself a nice meaty project there Michel which will make a great difference. I don't know who the hack repairers are but they seem to visit every machine. Cheers

Great project! I always thought tailstock leadscrews are too coarse a thread, you need to use too much handle force on big drills and depth precision is not great. If I did a project like this I would make a much finer thread, much better all round in my opinion. Of course, retracting is slower but if the tailstock has a quick release lever you can just retract the whole tailstock and still get all the benefits of a nice fine tailstock feed thread. 🤔

That's some really nice work, Michel. I particularly enjoyed the "clamping the tailstock to the carriage" fast retract, very trick. Looking at the exploded diagrams of the tailstock, the leadscrew does double duty as ejector. If you size it for ejecting morse 3, a floating ejector rod in front of the leadscrew would work for ejecting morse 2. Given that you're making a new ram, could you not have jury-rigged a tailstock and line bored the tailstock bore by a tenth of a millimeter or so to be absolutely cylindrical and level with the spindle? Seems cleaner than shimming the tailstock at the offset line, which I guess is your projected fix. Mind you, having the tailstock very slightly low is not a real problem, the tailstock will always jack up a bit under load.
