As promised, this is the first part of the lathe work required to machine the 8" steel rollers I manufacture. This part will include indicating, facing, drilling, boring, and polishing. Second part to follow soon.

Chuck, play close attention....I'm trying to help you out buddy!! I often use the 45 degree end of my boring bars to chamfer. Just use a factory end of a tool, or one you have ground. I just happened to use it that way because thats how I already had the bar clamped in the tool holder. If it was set on the 90 side, I would have used a different type of tool bit, like a style D.

@Abom7910 жыл бұрын
Hey Tom, thanks for stopping by. About 3/8" is machined off the OD. Yea the more the hole opened up the better the cut went. Ive had and used ISCAR brand inserts, but its been a while since we've bought from them. They have promotions once in a while, gotta keep an eye on them. Buy some inserts and get free tool holders. They have a lot of new products now. There old style parting and grooving tools have changed to a new style, as well as many of there other style tools too. Thanks for watching Tom!

Since you indicated you make these often, measure the distance from the back of the part to the chuck. Cut some piece of material that is that thickness that you can remove between the jaws when final chucking is complete. Use masking tape to hold it loosely to the face of the chuck, smash the rear face to the spacer, and chuck it. remove the spacer and walla, no more face indicating!

Jeff Eskelson A 30" bed length limits you to smaller scale of work, but would be great a second lathe for second ops and support machining. If I had to pick, if the 16x178 is in good shape I would jump on it. The long beds are normally a little more scarce to come across.Not everyone needs them, but In my line of work they are a must.

I can help if you will let me. I have over 40,000 hours in the machine tool industry. On an engine lathe I could hold .0003 and a 28 micro finish. With cycle time to rival a CNC in some cases. I used Iscar and Sumitomo inserts. First, do your drilling first. This will take 50% or more out of the face cut depending on the hole size. Second, invest in a spade drill. One of my rules is " never bore what you can drill". With a stubby spade drill you can limit your rough first bore to .060. Please let me know if this helps.
