Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Lathe Tailstock Repair!

After his build of the giant brass bolt and nut, Adam takes apart his lathe to repair and rebuild its tailstock. Adam explains how each of the lathe's components work, and then embarks on putting the tailstock back together with newly machined parts for increased accuracy and reliability. To the welder!

Watching Adam slowly go insane over these last 4 months is the most human thing I have ever seen. Thank you sir, for inviting us to your genius.

[@paulscrevane]

Dr Fingaz couldn't agree more. I've learned more in my life from Adam than for mission critical people in my life. and he literally has nooooo idea.

[@matthewhelton1725]

I've been using a lathe for 40+ of my 50+ years. Tip: Putting a short spring between the bottom of the tailstock and the retaining shoe will positively separate the locking shoe from the bottom of the bed when the tailstock shoe is released. Regarding alignment the tailstock with the spindle, you don't really want to use a coaxial indicator (they sag under their own weight). It is better to use a piece of bar stock 12-18" long which has been center drilled at both ends. 1. Place a dead center in the chuck or Spindle Taper (recut the dead center to 30 degrees), and a live center in the tail stock. drive the bar stock with a lathe dog. a. Turn a short length of the bar stock at the headstock end reading cross slide the scale only. b. Turn an identical length (again using the cross slide scale only) at the tailstock end. c. Use a micrometer to measure both diameters: They should be the same. 2. If they are not, you will need to adjust the tailstock. If the tailstock end is smaller than the headstock it will need to moved away from the front apron (X-), if it is larger than the headstock it will need to be moved toward the front of the apron (X+). 3. Repeat a., b. and c. until the diameters measure the same with the Micrometer. There are commercially available test bars which can be used with a test indicator mounted on the lathe carriage which essentially does the same thing. Tailstocks are easily adjustable in the X axis of a lathe, but they also wear in the Y axis (tool height axis): this is because the tailstock rides on the lathe bed and they wear against each other. Detecting this wear is a bit more difficult (and out of the scope of this discussion unless you are rebuilding the whole machine).

[@1pcfred]

[@darkwinter6028]

You can make one of those test bars also from a length of ground shafting or drill rod of an adequate diameter. You just have to be real careful when mounting it in the chuck to drill the center hole to get it dead-on zero runout; and also verify with a good micrometer, a test indicator on a height gauge, and a surface plate that the rod is a true cylinder.

[@philgallagher1]

The problem seems to be located between the lathe and Adam's shoes!

[@justinbegley2310]

Slightly slower wire speed and slightly higher amperage will stop the weld being so convex and better penetration. The rule is always go too hot and dial it back, not the other way. The old adage of “ If you can’t tie knots, tie lots” also doesn’t apply to welding, if the root weld isn’t good neither will the other five on top.

[@avenged8fold1]

Love your videos Adam, but I'd like to point out the color of the bolt has nothing to do with the grade. The gold color in particular is just a yellow zinc anti-corrosion coating. What actually identifies an Imperial grade 8 bolt is the amount of dashes stamped on to the head of the bolt. The dashes will be either every 120 degrees (3 dashes total) or every 60 degrees (6 dashes total). The amount of dashes + two = bolt grade. So 3 lines is a standard grade 5 bolt, and 6 lines is a grade 8 bolt. Metric bolts are a bit different. A number will be stamped on the head, 5.8, 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9. The number before the decimal indicates the bolt grade, the number after the decimal indicates the percentage of its yield force it can endure without permanently deforming. So for example and grade 10.9 bolts can endure 1000N/mm^2 before it yields, and it can withstand 90% of that force without deforming permanently. A grade 8.8 bolt can handle 800N/mm^2 to yield, and 80% of that force with out deforming.

[@1pcfred]

The gold is called chromate conversion coating. It is there so the protective zinc coating does not oxidize. 5/8-11 is not an imperial thread. It is Unified National Coarse. Which is an international standard. The imperialists favor the Whitworth pattern. Communists use metric.

[@c.j.1089]

Adam, when you're cutting a bolt on a bandsaw, it's always convenient to throw a nut on the other end to keep the cut straight. It saves a lot of time from having to face it off in a lathe to get a tangent line. I'm sure you probably use the same trick, but I'm always surprised how many people don't think of that.

[@rogermoeller7350]

Or better yet cut it off in the lathe

One of the things I love about this channel is realizing that Adam could do _anything_ with the time he has on this Earth, and he chooses to do what I think I would do in his shoes: work in his shop, making things. The satisfaction he gets from it is evident on his face. I am happy he has had so much success and wish him as much as he can handle, more even, in the years to come.

Hey Adam - Future reference, you may want to grind off the coating from the bolt. Some of the coatings on bolts can produce very-very toxic fumes when heated to welding temperatures. It also has the added benefit of producing a stronger weld.

Hey Adam, as always I loved your video. I do not know if someone already said this but i missed something in the video, you assembled the tailstock and put it back on the machine after and what i did not see you do is make sure the tailstock is in the center. On the table you tightenet the bolts left and right but that does not mean it is in the same place as before anymore. Please make sure that it is back to center before you use it.

Welcome to another fantastic episode of Mr. Adam Savage flexing his remarkable vocabulary

[@mrzon9344]

The lines on the top of the bolt head tell you it's a grade 8 not the 'gold' coating.

[@kevinvermeer9011]

The coating is just a zinc plating with chromate over top. Used to be yellow meant hexavalent chromate, but then we realized that's toxic, so now it's trivalent chromate with some yellow dye.

[@HomebrewHorsepower]

To be clear, on a standard bolt, the number of dash marks on the bolt head, plus 2, is the grade. 3 dashes (plus 2) is a grade 5. 6 dashes (plus 2) is a grade 8. The grade is an indication of the tensile strength of the fastener. The higher the grade, the higher the tensile strength.

[@HomebrewHorsepower]

That bolt is worth $6.

It took me years to come to the conclusion that using the offset adjustment on the tail stock to eliminate a small amount of taper you end up just chasing your tail buy over correcting constantly. By using the leveling screws you can twist the bed ways slightly you have incredable control of taper. I learned this the hard way grinding long shafts with a tool post grinder.

Adam: "Let me get some safety glasses" What? Am I still on the same KZbin channel? ;-)

This video was probably recorded before and took longer to edit. They stockpile ODB vids.:)

I was thinking hearing protection, my ears start ringing just using a air nozzle

Interesting seeing you go through the process Adam! I noticed you didn't put any oil between the tailstock head and adjustment plate. I am a watchmaker and have a watch lathe and and small mill that are used all the time (for hobby stuff mostly). Oil is important.

0:37 Adam what is a tailstock ? ;)

[@MrChief101]

Pretty darn cool AND you used your safety shield.

[@JohnSmith-gm4fj]

Awesome Job good work Adam. Always proving there is more than one way to skin the cat!

Taking stuff apart as a kid pleased my autism so much 😅 but don't you feel as if you can operate things better once you've taken them apart and fully know how it works

In the shot around 35:20 I swear you have a box on the shelf that says "latke dogs." I realize it is probably "lathe dogs," but now I can't unsee it.

I was already prepared for 15:00 ... I love being unexpectedly prepared

[@travisallard3509]

Adam, I love watching these build videos. I envy your shop!

[@fuse404]

I love that there's a box labelled "Lathe Miscellaneous Shit". I also have shelves stacked with boxes with hand-written labels, and one of them is "GoPro Shit". It's the only box with an obscenity on it, and I feel like that tells a story.
