looks like you people never machined anything in life.Cnc machines(real ones not chinese mini craps) are amazing and can produce consistant tolerances(due to stepper motors ,no backlash and consistant adjustment of position via digital readout),and they are faster than humans ever will be.Complex shapes are no problem for cnc machine,you need hour of setup to cut a helix spiral on a manual milling machine-on cnc machine you enter program and it cuts it super fast. Adam is talented machinist but its a old dying technology.Industrial production killed blacksmiths,CNC machines ,3D printers and robots will be the end of manual machining.

Love it.. The start of SNS is like a machinist anonymous meeting, Hi I'm Adam. I'm a machinist. Its been 2 days since I used a lathe..... Awesome work as usual Adam.

Thumbs up brother, I'm not a machinist, never even seen an industrial machine in person but I can not get enough of this channel.

I am a retired Machine Repairman. I was around machinist for over forty years. I have never seen someone zero in a part in the four jaw as fast as you can. Wasn't there a competition in one of your videos where you won. I really like your videos, they bring back great memories. I love your attention to detail, in everything you do.

WELL THE ONLY WAY TO DO SOMETHING IS DO IT THE RIGHT WAY AND WE HAVE A MAN THAT IS VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES GOOD JOB

The Loony Toons Gang Is happy to see Acme Threading LOL

People that really know what they're doing aren't afraid to make mistakes and are willing to admit it. That's how you learn to really know what you're doing.

Experience is the best teacher, AND THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE!!!!

If either you or Keith Fenner had been my HS shop teacher I would have spent my life as a machinist. Great teachers - both of you.

Haha that intro. I felt like I was at an AA meeting. Lol. "Hello, My name is Adam, and I'm a machine-aholic"

I am a lease machine prater watching your video helped me to fix a small error

I'm really glad I'm not the only one who feels that satisfied when a job turns out well.

When i was 19 some 28 years ago my first real job in a workshop in the UK was to watch and learn under this guy was a time served turner. They wanted me to learn the proper way so my task was to strip a old Dean smith and grace Lathe and make replacement bushes for all the feed/screwing slides out of phosphor bronze .It was reall enjoyable time i learnt press fits and how to feel if the fit was right for the bush . I love watching vids like this and thinking back to that time.. Not many skilled turners left now . Eventually i graduated on the CNC .

Adam Booth, the most reliable guy ever :) i can count on him having a video ready for me every saturday!Thank you man!

Hi Adam, it's nice to see the joy in your face. Looks like a boy with a new toy. Greetings from Germany.

With the uneven wear on the length of the shaft and areas where it's bent or 'twisted', and even demonstrated that the nut binds trying to thread through the length, I still can't help but feel a new shaft would be the best way to go. All of the work taking the slide apart, making a new nut, making thrust washers...and using the old messed up shaft?

Incredible tolerances! Really enjoyed this repair series and I learned a lot! This is truly a master machinist at work.

one of the first machine tools I learned to use, along with planner way back when.. Been a machinist 40+ years. Love your videos.

To see the Monarch back... that is a real gift!!!

Hey Adam, great work! Thank you for your inspiring content, you got a very young austrian fan right here !

Love sns!! Just picked up my first mill today after being inspired by your videos. Can't wait to re-watch and learn more!

Thank you for an hour+ of guaranteed entertainment every week

Great stuff as usual, Adam! Love that "$4000 smile" right at the end. I was doing the exact same thing.

You did it! Nothing more satisfying than rebuilding your own machine tools. Excellent job Adam!

Yes, but eben you didn't enjoy that free moving in your Workshop you cant do this😭.

You say "It works!" and then you smile as if you weren't expecting it to work. I do that too. Your confidence is in the skill you possess, but you still get a little thrill each time! Kudos!

I learned the importance of Acme threads literally 30 years ago as an industrial mechanical draftsman by detailing specifications on a the column ends of a 34” diameter shaft for a 4 column 20 ton hydraulic press that was massive. The loads could not be taken by smaller tooth profiles. The teeth n the thread form were giant. Thanks for the great videos as it is helping me with my bench lathe work practices.

You are a great professional and a humble person. God bless you!

I AM enjoying your Acme threading videos. I have learned a lot. Your comments at every stage were very helpful to understanding what's going on. This is an excellent presentation.

All I can say is that you've gone nuts Abom, ACME NUTS. GIVE THE GUY A THUMBS UP ... cuz, man he earned it.

Nice work and thanks for the unique info on the Monarch "lock". I've had my Monarch CK for about 6 years now and never knew that. Just proof that a machinist can always learn something new. Thanks, Jeff Also, take notice on how he held the emery under power. FINGERTIPS ONLY. That way if it grabs, it just comes out of his grasp without injury.

Just checked out my Monarch CK 12 and I get about 2-1/2 turns of the cross slide between locks. Is that right?

Yes that’s right

I think threading is an art you have mastered, thank you for the whole tamale in showing us how you arrived to tool height, depth of cut, pitch, angle etc. Very cool process and I think I'm understanding how you do it with the wheel when you start the cut. Thanks again for your video's and explaining the process!

Been watching your channel for about a year now. Already have 2 trades boilermaker and welder. You have inspired me to take machining as a third trade. Thanks Uncle Abom!!

Very instructive being able to see you (your hands) operating the lathe. Your explanation was also very useful, too. Thanks for sharing.

I haven’t touched a lathe in three years, And let me tell you how much miss throwing chips. Your videos are great and a wealth of knowledge. Keep it up.

I enjoy your videos and have been impressed with your skill and the machines you operate with old timer deftness.

I enjoy watching and watching your work. thank you so much.

Made a screw and nut for a civil war re-production cannon a while back out of brass. Had to make the nut again. The first one was way to loose. Good job Abom. Thanks again for the video.

This is awesome! I really like how much more confident you are now that you were when you started, where you barely looked at the camera. You seem so much more comfortable! Keep up the good work and love watching your videos!

Adam, Love your show brother. Thank you for keeping me in the shop, keep up the 2018 personal goals! I can see the effort.

Nice machining. The Monarch is a lovely machine. Good operator to boot.

As a teen ager, I was employed to operate a lathe setup as a screw machine cutting square threads on a screw as reduction gearing on a hoist of haevy material. I loved that job; seeing a hunk if steel transformed into a useful instrument.

Great to watch video. The Monarch looks like it was a very thought out machine with a lot of different capabilities added to it.

I see where you have done this many times......very nice video, it was a pleasure to watch....thank you.

I just wanted to say you are a true inspiration to me

Beautiful.... I did exactly the same just a couple of days ago with an 8TPI on .800/.675 and know the feeling you have when it hand screws like thick honey without a hint of grab or backlash. I really like your style and how you do things and the set up of your shop. A true craftsman. Thanks for all your videos and I'm guessing your building project is all up and running by now.

I've really enjoyed watching the G&E videos, man. Watching the machine get cleaned up and ready to go back into useful service has been a neat transition. Looks like many more good years will come from it as a result.

This comes at just the right time for me. Ive screws and nuts to make or a lathe im working on so nice to see the work and important points involved. Cheers Adam

That mini surface plate is priceless. Tom Lipton, Jim Stamper, Awesome men. You too, Adam!! :-)

Adam: Watched a lot of your videos. Grew up in Detroit where machine shops everywhere but they remained a mystery. While I may not understand all of your demonstrations, I enjoy them non the less. You have a nice video touch. Well done.

I didn't think I would view the whole video, but you made interesting. Great job and keep them coming.

Hi Adam just to let you know I am fascinated by your KZread videos as a retired motor engineer from the UK I really enjoy your channel keep it up cheers.

Perfect Timing! Thanks for sharing this. I'm super green to machining, and building a Milling attachment for my lathe. My intention is the leadscrew will be Acme thread. This really helps me get a handle on how to go about that.

Hey Adam - I liked this one. And knowing what I know about restorations and machine rebuilds, that difference of backlash along the length is all from wear in the screw. The nut is perfect - great job.

Another great episode of SNS, thank´s Adam!

That Monarch is a well thought out machine. My old LeBlond could do with a positive stop for threading. I've seen something that fits on the dovetail, I guess I need to build that now!! Thanks for keeping us updated on the project. Good stuff.

Nice work Adam. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Adam. I feel that you earned the right to add Filmmaker to your title. And as usual thanks for some good content. I always enjoy watching you beat that metal into submission. Keep it up buddy, and thanks. :-)

Another great video, thanks for letting us look over your shoulder. Great camera work!

Hey thank you for the videos. While I am not a machinist, I do work on airplanes and love the close tolerances you provide! Mike

Nice work, especially for not having cut an acme thread in a while. You make it look so easy.

Adam, prior to the start of this SNS, a regular commercial appeared. You’ve made the Big Time! Very happy for your success and I love watching your videos.

When the screw goes in but it’s tight, leave screw in the nut then remove from chuck and using a “soft “ hammer , hit all way round the outside of nut , it will free it off perfectly. I make acme a lot and sometimes 2start acme.

Hey Adam another great job. I love the sound of that old Monarch lathe of yours, she's a real classy lady

Next project, a stand for that surface plate! :-)

I've been hanging around KZread today waiting for this one.

WHAM!!!!! Home Run... I was on the edge of my seat with this one. Is this cool or what, Great job Adam

Nice job Adam really like the shop job projects.

Really appreciate your work man.

Nice!! Absolutely top notch content, videography, commentary and photography. You absolutely nail it!!

Great thanks for you Mr Adam,for sharing you knowledge,I ve learned lot of things from you interesting lessons and videos,God bless you.

YAY!!! SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL TIME! Hi from Ireland!

Nice work Adam!

thank you Adam.

Hi Abom you did great job . Awesome 👍

Great work as usual....

I am thoroughly LOVING your G&E improvement series! It may be that I understand & appreciate the satisfaction from using a machine that you've invested time to bring back to life. The nut you made was a big improvement, although I know you were shooting for zero backlash. I'm interested in how you'll improve on that, without making a new leadscrew or straightening/chasing your existing one. Thanks again, looking forward to more!

I don’t know why but there’s something about a spinning piece of metal getting cut by another piece of metal that’s relaxing. Especially when you get those little metal ribbons. I don’t like ductile iron, no little metal ribbons. Ok, I saw a couple small ribbons.

Mr. Bom - (Can I call you that?) I bought a 3d printer years ago, and it has become part of my regular tool set. It took me a while to find uses for it, but, pretty much anywhere you look in my shop, there's something printed. Caps, plugs, adapters, shims, hooks, etc. It's not metal, but you can definitely make useful items, and the best part is, once you're fluent in it, you can design a model, press go, and walk away. Next thing you know, there's your complete part. Very worth the time and money, in my opinion.

The knowledge that goes into using a cnc lathe is amazing, wish I would of been better at math. Great video

That's great that you what to get into 3D printing! That's the majority of what I watch on KZread, I even have a 3D printer myself. But I recommend looking through the suggestions of people on KZread for the best machine for you. There are a lot of printers that you could choose from, there are a lot of cheep ones, but you said you want good one, and there is a number of pretty good ones that aren't super expensive. I know that a lot of people with your skills and knowledge tend to get into 3D printing with a LulzBot 3D printer.

Thanks Adam. I have wanted to understand the specifics of ACME threading so that I can build my own CNC plasma table for a reasonable price for a long time. Thanks for teachings.

From where I sit you are much more than a machinist sir. I would describe you as a Master Craftsman. Thanks for showing us armchair admirers your skills.

Thanks for your interesting videos, I love these. Great guy, great content.

once again Adam you have excelled yourself that was a fantastic video you have a very clever brain and hands looking forward to the re-building of the Shaper

Fantastic! Inspirational and educational. Thanks again :-D And I think it's awesom that Tom sent you a plate :-D

A thing O beauty. Thanks for the video.

Great video!! Thanks for showing the SPI gage. I hadn't seen one but its something I've needed so I ordered one.

Fascinating Project and supporting video, Adam..

Enjoying and I will try it

Great Video, Thank you!

I thought for sure you would make a new screw too match. Nice video Adam.

Thank you for the vids

I learned some tips from this video, thank you very much🙏

Acme threads are usually some of the easiest threads to make on a lathe. The oil field API tapered threads are more challenging. I was lucky to work with some great machinists who showed me how to set up the taper attachment correctly.

Very industrial grade you got going there sir keep up the goods

Nice job. Thanks for another great video.

Like watching a great painting coming to finished masterpiece! But way more interesting! Thxs! Sir!

Big man you better keep them videos coming bro. I sit in my RV watchin the fabulous work you do wishing I could be there helping out, but oh well!

Nice work Adam. I was sharing your joy of success when it turned out well! Thanks for the video.

Adam, keep the shaper stuff coming.... Love every second of it....! Cheers from Vancouver, Canada... ;-)

very nice , enjoy watching your content. thanks for sharing !!!
