NICE

Nice you were helping Kyle with his Lucas. -Doozer

Hi...don't know if you are open to it, but would you be willing to send me the damaged camera gear? I do electronics tear downs and reviews. Damaged gear works fine for this.

Thank you Josh!

Just me maybe, but there is something mesmerizing about watching blued chips breaking off. You got super lucky with that long spiral! It never tangled around the work piece. I was cringing the entire time it was forming. *** LOL...yup...made a string of metal that ate your camera! *** Probably people that don't machine stuff would never notice the flash of light on the facing operation on the second end. They have to see the work piece stopped to know if they got it faced off yet or not.

Very cool

Not only less expensive, but much better quality. Good job!!

NGL my butt was puckering up when you were filming that gigantic 15+ foot long murder noodle early on in the video. 😂

We are entering an era akin to Planet Of The Apes, where primitives will not understand what the monolith is. The remnants of a civilization buried and forgotten. Machines sitting there collecting dust and not a soul alive knowing what they are let alone how to operate them.

Great video, as always! Josh, I noticed Kyle Vanover gave you a nice shout out in the video he released today.

Talk about hogging out some material, really need job. Appreciate you sharing your work with us.

I have a small bench top lathe and one of my major concerns was that you have to cross the arc of the chuck to switch it off in the case of stringy chips whipping around with the chuck. I made a foot stop switch for this very reason and use it every time to stop my lathe so that in the case of an emergency, it’s a natural reaction. Small hobby lathes should come with foot switches like the larger professional lathes do.

you should cut that camera grab into a short and do a voice over of what happened and why chips like that are so dangerous. that feels like a viral short opportunity.

Another excellent video! Back when I was running a lathe, I used to love watching the long stringy chips. Mesmerizing. Then once, they wound up like they did on you! Nothing got hurt, but I learned to pay attention to what I was doing. 😁

Good job

nice work

Q. How does the lathe ‘kick out’ when it encounters a jamb? Handy tool I just saw on another channel, swarf magnet. Seemed to consist of a hollow (maybe plastic) capped pipe with a mobile magnet inside. With magnet at bottom of pipe, insert into lathe bed (or wherever) and attract swarf. Take to waste bin, pull out magnet, swarf falls off. 👍 May be quite common but I had never seen one before. 👍

Ouch that spot

I like your videos and I'm glad you don't talk like we are beginners.

Yeah hogging material whith a cnmm insert !!!

Nice bit of heavy turning, chips make a good sound in the chip pan at 20 thou feed.

Im sprised instead of putting heat to the steel ring glued to the steel ring but should have frozen the shaft so no heat will affect the glue bonding

I enjoyed the vid. What was the rpm when turning the large diameter? Did you increase the rpm when turning to the smaller diameters?

What steel are you turning the spindle from?

Great work..!!

Great video! I am guessing that the saw cut may have work hardened the material at the edges of the cut. Seems like there was of lot of sparks generated when you were cleaning that are up.

Just an ooooopsies, just par of the course of the job.

Has no one come up with a workable chip guard or pehaps a chip breaker which would project fore and aft of the tool to break stringy chips? Those strimgs coming off the twist drill give me the Cold Robbies, as Pogo Possum used to say.

It amazes me how worn out a shaft can get and still do its job. Ive repaired dozens of shafts. All sizes. All purposes. Retired now though. That is a good demonstration shaft to show folks. Sixes and nines. Looking good.

well done 💥

🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠Thanks for the great video. I wish I knew what you have forgotten................it would make me a lot smarter. I am glad that you were able to get the job done and save the customer money. It is incredible the cost of the new part. You did a nice job filming as always. I am going to a car show. Good to see you!!!!!!!!

It would be nice to have an ammeter on the lathe motor to see how hard you are pushing it in those heavy cuts.

This reminds me of a Bugs Bunny episode where they put a whole giant Redwood tree in one side of a mill and comes out the other side as a toothpick. 😂

WOW Micky UK

I'm always shocked at the price of some of these assemblies.

Great job buddy love watching I have been fighting for my disability for a long time now and thankfully it was approved this week I was so close to having to sell my house and move to a family member 😢I don’t wish bad health on anyone I loved watching the videos and keeping me sane during this thank you for everything and thanks for sharing

No taper that is great. I know you are busy but some advice would be great. WHAT I BORE SOME THING OVER A LONG DISTANCE AND I GET TAPER.WHAT THEN SEEING YOU ARE A MASTER AT THIS .PLEASE....

good day Josh...best wishes from Florida......PB

I'm curious why for shorter work like this you choose to use your longest lathe? Since you have multiple lathe what is your reasoning for using one over the other?

Enjoyed the machining, some good tips. Finished job looks great.

you get some beautiful finishes!!!! impressive!

RIP Camera and Mic, You gave up your electronic existence so people could actually see how dangerous working around shop equipment is. Lesson well learned.

When you know you need to hog out a lot of material, and end up with a radius in a corner, why not use a circular insert to do all the cutting? Is it too much tool pressure per cut to be efficient?

If you haven’t already seen it done, I thought I would pass along a tip on how to remove bulk material innovatively that's different from what you do in this video. I’ve watched videos of people overseas doing machine work, and one of the videos I watched had an interesting way of removing large amounts of material on the lathe. The machinist would use a cutoff tool instead of a normal insert to hog out the material. The machinist would have a part in his lathe similar to this video and plunge the tool like he was cutting the part off, only stopping at a depth a few millimeters larger than the needed diameter. Then, he would move the cutting tool and repeat the plunge. Using the cutoff tool greatly reduced the time to remove the bulk of the material. Next, the machinist would use the normal insert to bring the part to its proper dimension. I’m interested in hearing your thoughts about it.

Is that wheel for Vegetable and packing plant equipment? A couple of passes and the rust is all off and as good as new!. It's just not good for cleanliness and friendliness of the machine's sliding bearing surfaces. Nice finish! Sorry to see the insert break. EVERY time I have to hit an exact dimension, I overshoot the size and ruined the fit. HA! Our skin starts to get thin at my new senior citizen age. My tuff hands were strong and calloused but not as a almost 63-year-old, the skin is SOOO thin that a hard bump can skin the backs of my hands. The chips draw blood once in a while. I got to go and and turn out a bushing for a project I started yesterday now! Thanks, for the great videos!

Lovely cleaning cut

Very interesting to hear that you have ditched the GoPro cameras. These newer manufacturers like DJI and Insta360 are certainly showing the older brands such as GoPro and Drift the way to go.

curious how long did it take start to finish?

Whew, your right Josh, thanks for leaving that footage showing how quick accidents can happen. There's many cases where the operator was not as fortunate and are missing from fingers to entire limbs from the accident. Another cause is long sleeves and loose clothing, they can get caught as well and that machine, even a small drill press will always have more power and be quicker than the human body! I cringe every time I see stringy chips start to wind up. That shaft was a great project and your video was a great repair job of it. They could not buy a better replacement. Good work. Thanks for sharing.
