    I'm old, and trying to learn/ understand lathe metal working. So, 'made' many things for my 70 year old lathe. As ability increased, 'remade' many of them. Inadvertently bought chuck with bigger hole, so watched this with pleasure . Going to make the same backing plate soon, so, thanks for this.

    Pardon me for being philosophical here. Re: People saying you can't bore that out. Imagine for a brief moment the nay sayers always having their way. Innovation gets rigidly restricted to established paradigms. And what if this applied for the past 1000 years? What would the world be like today? Safe to say we wouldn't have cars. Or, or, or ........... Anyway, nice work, Even if you have compromised the integrity of that chuck which was undoubtedly made to the very highest ASME standards that the jobber shops of China rigidly adhere to.

    Ha... I agree 100%. I've always pushed the limits within reason. I worked for a printing company most my life and there were some people that would rather live with a poorly running machine than to try making it better. The logic was that it was running and you might make it worse while attempting to fix it. As time passed we got updated machines that were much easier to run but the people that were afraid of change stayed on the old machine eagerly working the ass off to avoid change. The last 15 years before retiring I was doing an engineering job (without a degree) designing machine modifications in problem areas. It was a lot of headaches but also fun.

    Nice job! That plastic cover on the back I presume is just to keep the chips out. As the new backplate will do that for you, I think I'd have taken it out prior to boring out the middle and left it out. You could have made the backplate register a bit deeper then to get the chuck a hair closer to reduce the overhang.

    Winky, a Chuck Backplate should be cast iron. It is not a good idea to have steel on steel with the lathe spindle, it can gall up. I do not know of any chuck manufacturer that used steel back plates. Take care using it and add a small amount of lubrication on the spindle thread when screwing it on to be sure you can get it off again. Regards from Australia.

    Hello Dave, well in this case I'm going to have to disagree. All my chuck have steel back plate and have had for about 10 years. I've never had a single problem. Bison sells thread mount high strength steel plate as well. Steel is much stronger than cast and performs much better on a smaller threaded spindle. I've had threads break on cast back plates. Probably low quality plates but never the less, steel will never break.

    @@normesmonde5332 Generally speaking Dave has some good advice and others have said the same about cast. Cast generally has a vibration absorbing quality and in some cases it might be a better choice. However, to me, this means the cast iron has to be compressible. Years ago I had a Shars 6 inch chuck and cast back plate on my Logan and it chattered bad. I put a 3 foot x 1.5" bar in the chuck and pushed down on the bar. The chuck actually moved away from the spindle register. I replaced both with steel back plates and the chatter got substantially better and the bar test was also much better. Both a 4 jaw and 3 jaw Shars 6" backing plate failed at the threads so this may be a quality issue more than cast vs steel ALTHOUGH Bison chucks confirmed that their steel back plate were stronger. One Shars plate failed at 7 month and the other at 1 yr. Shars would NOT stand behind them and I don't hesitate to throw them under the bus. I do not buy from Shars!

    I know I spend at least 50% of my shop time cleaning up. I know what you mean about the dust. The mix of oil and wood dust is not good. Around my metal lathe seems to be the worst. You might have noticed I installed a 4x8 sheet of sheet metal on the wall being my lathe. After about 6-month some of the machines don't even look restored. I take an air hose, brush and rag and go through and clean everything. It sound fanatical but after all the work of bring the machines back to near new condition I think it's worth while... maybe 2 hours invested. I think the belt grinder is about as bad as the lathe. I've considered putting a vacuum on it but sparks are a concern... and cost.

    I tried the "self closing" drawer cabinets. But I didn't like the extra pull it took to open the drawers. The Vevor tool box with the snap in tool slots is great for keeping things in place as a movable box but kind of a nascence in a drawer. I think I'd take a Dremel and modify the retaining nubs so the tools would be easy to remove & replace. Over the years I've torn apart & scrapped machines. I keep all the fasteners and have plastic square jars that mixed nuts came in to keep each diameter, mixed lengths. I finally bought a label printer to make for easier reading. It's been nice because the labels can be peeled off when the contents are changed. The last Harbor Frt. roll-around tool cabinet I bought has label pockets on all the drawers. I found out that Home Depot is selling some of the same stuff that Vevor sells, at exactly the same prices, including free shipping. I setup a Home Depot account that includes a 10% military discount on some items, including some Vevor stuff. Home Depot also sells through base exchanges and (some?) base exchanges don't collect sales tax. I was in the Navy during the Vietnam war. Setting up the HD discount was quick & easy. Lowes has something similar.

    Wow, I hope you didn't pay full price. Those things are high. We had a very similar grinder at work. First install the sandpaper on the drum. Then there are black disks on each end of the drum and set screws on top of the aluminum frame. You loosen the set screw and rotate the disk (use a pin or hex key in the holes). The disk are eccentrics and will move the drum up and down. Move the lead edge of the platen under the drum and insert a couple of pieces of paper under the drum (I used card stock)move the ends of the drum up and down until you feel a drag on the paper and then snug the set screws. If you hear the drum hitting the platen when you turn the motor on back the adjustment off slightly. It needs to be close. After you grind the end of the belt you might need to trim a little fuzz on the tip.

    @@kartikaysharma4560 Truthfully I never read instruction on the grinder but I have used the same grinder extensively at the printing company I worked for. The last 12 to 15 years I prepared almost all the belt for 12 presses. The belt thickness ranged from .050" to .125" To answer your question, the sanding drum needs to barely touch the platen. You don't want to take metal off but if you hear it touching slightly you are where you need to be. I'm not sure I understand the problem with thick belts but some thick belts require a different approach. Usually a thinker belt has a much thicker traction layer and sometimes less core (nylon or polyamide). The result will be a smaller area of exposed nylon but you really need at least 3/4" to get a strong splice. Habasit says to use two glues, one for the nylon and the other for the rubber (Fixol and Vulcol). I have done this with good results but it requires practice and attention to detail. At the printing plant we never bothered with the rubber, we simply trimmed off the rubber at the end of the belt. It creates a little divot in the finished belt surface but the belt is just as strong. The rubber has no strength. I have no drawings for my grinder. It's made from old printing press parts. In some ways it is crude (the method for setting the angle) but overall it's made like a tank and grinds a little better and a lot faster than the Habasit grinder. It used a 60 grit 21" x 4" sanding belt instead of a drum. The belt is still the original but it has ground at least 1500 belts. Why do you need to build a grinder?

Wells index will sell you the new draw bar but if I remember right it will cost you about $350. I'm cheap so I made my own. In my opinion the B&S collet is much better than the R8 but only if you have the self ejecting draw bar. Here's the video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/moFrrs6Klt2ylLQ.htmlsi=xU50Eppd-tybtvhA

    @@WinkysWorkshop It's definitely an investment when you need a bunch of them. You know those metal racks that pull out that have 4 metal parts boxes in them (like at the auto parts store)? Back after 2000 (when everything was for sale) a company on ebay sold a bunch of them for $50 ea, new with free shipping. I bought 6. A guy around the corner worked at a boat manufacturer and had 25lb boxes of new stainless hardware (floor sweepings) of everything you can think of. I did some trading and got a few. Just had to pour it out on trays, wash the fiberglass dust out and sort it into piles. It's all SAE. Those boxes are full of them.

    @@robert574 Wow that sounds like a good deal! It's hard to bring myself to buy expensive storage like those KastKing storage trays. I guess I have $130 total into them. At one point I just made the decision that I wanted the connivance. I guess it's hard to justify the expense of most shops my size. I like to think I do enough work in my shop to break even but I'm not sure I do. Heck, the contents of all those trays probably has $1,000 in parts. Before I retired I had the company discount at Fastenal and I filled them with shoulder bolts and socket heads screws from 6-32 to 3/8. Also set screw. I think most the shoulder bolts were bought as scrap but man those socket head screws add up quick.

    Years ago, we used to have a vacuum forming machine to make custom trays (with shapes if you wanted). I had forgotten about it. It worked pretty good, but on deep stuff you would get a web at the corners. You had to make a "half" block to form part way and then use the finished block (like a casting pattern). I wonder why you don't ever see that anymore. It could form some fairly thick plastic sheet. Ha, that's probably how that Vevor tray is made. I like your wooden ones better though.

    I remember seeing the vacuum forming machines. If I remember right they used very hot air to heat the plastic and then sucked it down over the form

    Mark I hope someone from Harbor Freight or Amazon gets to see this video. You are not the only one who gets frustrated with the sixe of the tool organizer trays . the size of tool box drawers are not a secret but as you have shown they never sell the trays that will fit inside the drawers without wasting valuable space inside the drawers. About 25 years ago I bought some Craftsman Professional series open/box wrenches. The plastic trays are still in the drawers of my boxes. I drilled holes from the back side of the trays and squirted foam inside them and over night they were hard as concrete. It keeps my wrenches in order and I rarely do not put my tools back because I can at a glance tell if there is one missing. I think men should have extra years added to their life to compensate for the time spent searching for the tool they need. lol.

    I've seen the King Dick wrenches make an appearance on AvE's channel several times - at least back when he actually made videos. I have a similar socket set branded Mastercraft Maximum (Canadian Tire store brand) that's both metric and imperial, has 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 drive, and has some hex and torx sockets as well, as well as some open and box end wrenches in both imperial and metric. It's a very good quality set, and I think my dad said it was $100 CAD (aka probably 70 USD) back when he got it for me for christmas many years ago. But to still be able to get a set like that now with 20 years of inflation for a similar price is pretty good

    Ha... I agree, a silly aspect. Although, it does cushion the drawer if you slam it shut. Seeing as how they are so easy to move this is probably a plus.
