Love seeing this project! We had pay-off reels like this but everything was bolt on so we all got pretty good at drilling out and re tapping big old socket head bolts!

What they used for

Gees,not much room for error with the cross slide clearance .great video again mate thanks for sharing 👍

We didn't have a wally mart on every corner back in the 1960-70s and the Mason Shoe salesman would come by every six months of so. The Mason shoes were the best we had back then, but they would crack across the ball of your foot due to the hot/blue chips and coolant mix. They were hard to afford for a family man with three kids, but they were all we had. It was walk around in hot chips for two or three months with cracked shoe soles before the guy came around again. Everyone was in the same boat regardless of the kids... LOL! I hope the new shoes that you all have are better.

Ok. I am totally stumped as to what this part is. Nice work. Tha finish on the interrupted cuts. Well done 👏

A pay-off reel feeds thin steel plate through the production line. It unwinds a coil into the downstream line. It is also called a decoiler or unwinder.

I miss doing this stuff so much. Really liked being a machinist.

Used to weld up and turn pump impellers at a sugar mill. When those things were turning, that noise was brutal.

The chip breaker on that tool used for finishing the diameter wasn't around in the old days, but it looks like a great idea to have raise bumps to help break chips which is mostly lost on a finish pass. Great never the less!

4:55 When your lathe is basically a shaper xD

Never seen a tool holder before that lets you use the other 4 corners on a cnmg insert before. So you now get to use all 8 corners instead of the standard 4 corners.

good job!!

Dang. That's a big boy caliper.

Chris I am curious as to why you didn’t turn the part to the correct size as a cylinder before you put the part on the horizontal boring machine to do the milling work. As I see it, that would have avoided the interrupted cuts. Am I missing something? Trying to learn a bit about metal turning. Mark from Melbourne

A pay off reel is something that unwinds wire/sheet material.. Think of it just like a cotton wheel on a sewing machine. Not a great explanation, but hopefully explains the basics of it.
