Sell it to Russia

Great work as always. I work on large tubes lots for hydraulic cylinders. I made a back plate for a small 3 jaw chuck that has a taper cut for a center to fit the back of it. Tighten the chuck inside the tube and treat it as a center hole in a shaft. Exact same idea as what you did, just a bit different execution using what we had on hand

The coolant looks like chocolate milk 😂

That Craven lathe must have been one of the smaller ones they made. The biggest lathe I ever saw was in the same storage unit in Rotherham where I bought my Colchester Triumph. The headstock was about 2 stories tall with ladders and a walkway platform halfway up. The bed was in sections, each around 20ft long, and there were 5 or 6 of those as I recall, it wss 30 odd years ago. Apparently the machine had been made to do one job, which it had done, was then taken apart and put in storage "Just in case." I doubt that we can make more than a Myford Super 7 now.

I wonder how often the corner of the scrap channel cracks in use?

Very nice video. Thanks from sweden 🙏

Remarkable how British measurement system persists all these years after Harold Wilson!

Sunday afternoon provides a little peace &quiet to concentrate!

It is sad to see this,in your hart you will never get over it

Hi dave i am in uk want to meet you .

Why is the top of the steady rest fitted with a block instead of a bearing? What is its purpose?

Is it possible to trepan from both sides of a workpiece flipping it halfway? I think it is done at 4:29? If it is the actual trepanning tool shown after the operation, it looks super long, long enough to do it in one go I think?

Wondering about the welding of 4140 material, it's not a type of material that is suitable for welding really. Why is the end cap a separate piece in the first place, machine size limitations?

Why that wood used

I think you make more $ selling that chips

❤❤❤

Ooo mate i love it

Men who shape the world are VERY interested in what you do sir. The rest are puffs.

Your an inspiration for your craft and the machines you use, Not sure what all the makes of your machines are but Maybe CRAVEN, D.S.G, etc Plus Lang and Herbert are some of the machines i used in my career,

Love you stetty rest 😂😂😂

Can you obtain a 0.001 +/- ??

I see your still around, because you have liked newer comments. Are you no longer allowed to film at the workshop you work at Because of NDA’s or did you just get bored of KZbin?

Un poco duro el inconel...jejejeje

Love your videos. Have been watching and rewatching all of them over the last couple years. I still chuckle from time to time about how to tram a Bridgeport, and other wisdoms. Best wishes from west coast Canada.

How sweet it must have felt as that baby bored out your part?

Is there a followup video to this.....I would really like to know how it is working.

Excellent job !!!

Those are some of the largest billets I've seen, must be interesting to work at that size. We also use CNMG tools on our lathes, don't have any problems with them, but our work is much smaller and one of the lathes is a CNC. Great videos, interesting watching. From down in Devon.

Not the most difficult IMO. Try some Monel K500.

are you still alive?

I thought I'm just the only guy knows David Wilks he's an artist when it comes in trapping.

I really wish David would upload again, I hope he is in good health. Maybe a space rocket company finally got ahold of him and stuffed him in a back room with a Craven lathe and nothing but Nimonic alloy then covered the door with a massive nda and gave him unlimited John Smiths beer and thats why we dont get videos anymore. just a theory

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hope you are well and to see you return! Best of luck David

Greetings from the U.S, this is incredible work and this is coming for a business owner cutting only exotic material. what is the pad made off @ 1:10? what's your favorite grade for 718 and long does it last on this type of trepanning? Thx

Не проще было справа подавать, прямым. ММ по 15-20? И обороты побольше. У этго резца площать резания то больше, труднее... Хотя, если оклад...😉

Man, That's awesome!

4:50 Why do you have a 4 jaw chuck in a 4 jaw chuck?

That was so expensive.
