Brass is the best to turn by hand in my opinion, I started turning it when I was 15 in my dads machine company. Brass for the most part is self lubricating and that’s what allows free form turning with our tools that are mild steel to hss, the lubricant slows the edge dulling down and helps with chatter. Most soft metals can be turned by hand with a flow of coolant on the piece and cutting edge, replicating brass in a sense, steel can be slowly turned by hand with a constant oil drip on the piece and cutting edge but it’s horribly slow. I’m a machinist by heritage but a woodworker at heart, turning metal first by hand taught me boundaries that a lot of wood turner’s would never try or think of, I mainly turn big stuff that’s hard, occasionally brass & aluminum for a project and recently my wife’s rotors off her Acadia, in my opinion it’s all about the lubrication and matching it to the item turned. It can absolutely all be turned by hand, but there a big break when it’s a waste of time and money to do so.

Просто чудо! Спасибо вам. Я очень люблю смотреть на такую работу.

I am a Tool and Die maker by trade and wood working as a hobby. Brass is very tricky and if you are not careful it will climb or suck up the tool. You my friend are a master with the tools and talent that is fun to watch. As to the sharpening of your tools I doubt you did, brass turning is most often done with a negative rake on the cutting edge. Drill bits are always dubbed off to keep it from being sucked into the brass as you attempt to drill it. Your ability to cut and shape brass free handed with a tool is awesome, and without a doubt proof of many years of experience. Well done my friend!

Thanks buddy. It was a very interesting experiment and I think it’s clear to see throughout the video that I start to get a feel for it as the video progresses and it becomes easier to remove larger shavings. It was lots of fun to play with. I’d love to say I recommend everyone gives it a go but I can’t recommend it as I know this could be extremely dangerous with the slightest lapse in concentration. But if one willing to trust their ability to keep a mind full eye on their own actions in the present…. Then “one” may find this an enjoyable experiment. 😊👍🏻

Also, there was no cutting oil to be seen. Many metal lathing videos I have seen use lubricant/cutting fluid on the work and tool

@JackMackWoodturning

Жыл бұрын

I’m sure most of that is within the realms Of reasonable. Although I believe coolant/ lubricant isn’t used when cutting brass. However. This is clearly a gimmick video and an attempt at doing something a little different for my self. To see if I could do it.. which I could. Il not be trying it again. It was good fun but it’s hardly an efficient process.. I’m confident that I approached it in a way that minimised the risks of injuries although I was ever present and aware that injury was potentially only a slip away. I’m extremely experienced with turning wood and in all honesty brass isn’t all that different to an extremely dense wood. Besides the lack of grain. But we turn all kind of composite materials on the lathe. A soft alloy is not a great leap from a hard resin.

I ran a metal lathe for a time (not as long as I would have liked). I became the guy that had to do it all, run the lathe, paint and fabricate.
