Excellent

Great job. Buddy!!

I have an aluminum post to cut into spacers for bolting two vertical posts together and drop a handrail down some steps. This helped me in my decision on how to cut it with the tools I already have. Simple and effective cuts with my miter saw and a quality carbide tipped blade. Definitely gonna hook the vacuum up to it as well. Good stuff, thanks.

Does this work on chrome bumpers or just aluminum?

Great video. Detailed yet short and to the point. Great speech and explanation, too.

Interesting, Im in New Zealand and have had a hell of a time trying to find suitable oils for my Emco lathe. Like you I can usually get the recommended oils but only in huge quantities, 20L mostly. I had been using gear oil in my spindle but recently found a spindle oil, I was really surprised how thin it is. I was really suspicious but did a lot of checking and it appears to be correct so I used it and what a change. I had previously found one 5L container of Way oil after years of looking, until then I had been using chain saw, chain oil. It didn't seem to cause any problems and it didnt run off the ways but the correct way oil is smoother running for sure. Seems incredible its so hard to get machine oils is reasonable quantities, its not like there isn't a market.

I’ve got a Clark 1027 and I can’t get the chuck out. Also do my jaws need to be in the machine when doing this? My jaws don’t like going in all together and yes that’s problematic.… haha help

Thank you!

Thanks for the information.

Had to confirm my plans before ruining my mitre saw blade. Thanks.

I recently aquired a 1908 Monarch with a siezed 3 jaw. I've given her some pretty big blows and that chuck will not move.... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Great video! I wasn’t sure if I can use my baseboard blade for aluminum

I haven't needed to use the old tap and die for some time, but I have never liked the idea of using a handheld drill to do what should be a precise practice. I guess I will use the drill press from now on.

Im considering a quick change tool post! I like the fact that you did all the milling on a lathe! I don't have a mill , but I do have a milling attachment for my 9" south bend, i wonder i could still do a t-nut? I do have milling bits but no collets yet.. lol

Got mine done, slightly different model but the principles were the same. Thanks.

Great video. Concise while thorough plus no needless and irritating music to wade through. Thank you, Man in the Mask, because it immediately helped me get the vintage 1/2 Jacobs chuck off an old USA made corded drill that finally died after 4 1/2 decades of use.

I have a pair of old brass lamp from the 60's. They were my parents. I polished them up and the shiny gold turned to gray. I had used a magnet before I started cleaning it up, and it did not stick. Why is the gold coming off if it is brass? I didn't know who to go to, and thought I would ask you since you seem to be very knowledgeable.

Would you please share the saw rpm and rake angle of your disc teeth?

Use an old, cheap carbide blade. This will ruin a fine woodworking blade.

Good one i used just my finger rubbing Brasso once until my finger prints were gone the scrubbing would been easier☝️

Very good tutorial!

Looks good 👍

Could you do a vid measuring a dial or coin? I'm having difficulty with this. Thanks.

You did that mah, man.

thanks man!

What kinds of BBQs or burners have you bought in the past? I've been BBQing and grilling and smoking, etc etc etc, for 50+ years and never had a burner give out after a couple of years. I've never known of this happening to anyone I know, either. I am very curious what equipment you have used in the past where this kind of breakdown is normal.

Doesn’t that scratch it?

Thank you for the video! what type of oil do you use for your lathe? synthetic or not?

Sir! Can you tell me is there any machine which is used for remove spots, internal lines from brass pieces before chroom plating instead of emery/sand paper, without the use of sand paper is there any machine to clean our piece ?

This is exactly what I was looking for. No jerking around about nothing. Grab a wood chop saw slam a carbide blade in it and starting sending aluminum everywhere. 10/10

a really nice clear and easy to follow guide for newbies.

Great video thanks

I thought those are stainless steels

I brought a 200$ abrasive saw today just to cut aluminum and instantly return it because it’s a pos. It bend, bind , slow and over heat metal and aluminum, it bind itself on the saw , and best of all its doesn’t cut straight 45 no matter what I try. Metal then it’s too slow and overheat. And it left bunch of birch sizes double the material width on every walls. Hercules from harborfreight. Turns out my old blue ryobi with new wood blade cut aluminum like butter quick and cold except for the shaving flying everywhere

My word

I am very interested in calipers and how to get accurate measurement of watch crystals. Experts recommend taking a few measurements to be sure. But if the arms of the caliper can only measure the diameter, then why aren't all the measurements exactly the same? (This question is because I am having difficulty with using the calipers.) Thanks!

What kind of tooth paste?

OLD but very useful!!! I’m tapping a shotgun receiver myself, should be fun Lol 👍

Wow. Would not have thought to cut the t-nut as done in this video. Now i know how to make mine. Thanks.

Great video, your voice is like butter and your face amazing.

Fluoride is the largest neuro toxin biproduct of aluminum industry as its used to polish.

God I hate having adhd. Everything is so complicated. I want to learn but it’s not processing correctly into my brain.

Awesome video! I literally said "wow!" out loud at the mirror finish. Now I am just a humble housewife (Escape rooms Games Master part time) & I am polishing up some pure brass kitchen pots I have which look really scummy. Here in the UK was use Brasso polish, which I have been using, but its dirty, messy & VERY hard work! My question is: Can I use your method (sanding & abrasion) on my kitchen pots, to get this shine? I ask because I understand my pots surfaces may have been treated with things during manufacture, & I don't want to ruin them. Anyway thanks for the superb video!

I need to do this to the tee nut for my new QC tool post. Was thinking I had to use a milling machine (which I don’t have) but now I see I can do this on my lathe, which is wonderful news! The lathe I recently received is a Sheldon 11 by 44 from 1946, and the lantern style tool post is its chief weakness.

I have no words to say thanks!! I have this old Kodak Brownie camera with an opaque, scratched plastic lens, and I wasn't sure if I should polish it. I was scared to ruin it completely. But I followed this advice and it worked! I used jewelry spray polish and a piece of that microfiber cloth for cleaning glasses. Thank you!

Nice late, hopefully you get years of use of the awesome machine from the industrial age.

Hi Matt, Useful. Clear. Thank you so much. I work with watch cases. Often in steel. I tend to use diamond paste for a high polish. Best wishes from Singapore

Nice Job! Can you tell me the best Brass sealer or protection cost? I’m making these 1” square brass puzzles. I polished 1 with sandpaper pads all the way to 12k grit. Mirror finish, but how can I protect it? I work with 2K Urethane Clear Coat often, curious if you think it might stick? Thanks!! ☯️ZenModeling

Best video so far for dial caliper
