Channel Stickers, Lathe Compound Nut Repair

[@eyuptony]

Great job Everett helping your mate out. Good to see you back on the lathe. Tony

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Tony! Steve's my buddy with the truck shop where I work when my wife is on maternity leave, so he has regular projects for me. This one was at least not a panic one like most, lol!

[@Preso58]

I've done that stay at home Dad thing too and I totally get what you are experiencing. I learned that trick of using the knee to feed grabby tools in brass from Joe Pie. Regards, Preso

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Hi Mark! I didn't know Joe showed using the knee for that sort of thing, had I known proper credit would have been given. If it was a common size I would have hit the cutting edge with a stone to make it a bronze/brass only drill, but not doing that to a good quality letter drill, lol. And yes, I do love my kids, it's amazing seeing them grow up before my eyes. Having adult conversation and visits is amazingly balancing though, as you know, lol!

[@Preso58]

@@EverettsWorkshop Everett, I think Joe favours using the knee when starting end mills on curved surfaces or when they break through a hole off centre. The only thing I don't like about using the knee is the lack of feedback you get when you put the cut on.

[@jonsworkshop]

Nice fix Everett, great to see you back on the tools, you have waited long enough. Cheers, Jon

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Jon, just getting back into it as time around family and work allows. Got a bit of binge watching to get caught up on too, like your shaper rebuild series, lol!

[@ricko5123]

Ahh, Good to see you again Everett. I always enjoy watching you. I've been in the Hospital for 3 weeks from a Heart Attack and then double lung Pneumonia but finally home and laying in bed with KZbin....I need a couple stickers for the old 1970 ish original Kennedy Box....lol.... Ricko

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Oh wow man! I thought we had a crazy August, but nothing like yours! By all means I'll send you stickers, just shoot me an email and remind me, my brain's custard lately and needs reminding on a regular basis, lol!

[@kimber1958]

It may not be a big repair. However it is a vital repair. Great job Everett

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Kimber! Part of this project was getting back into the process of a project on camera, been out of the game and rusty, lol!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Everrett, great to see you back mate, the nut turned out spot on, cheers

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Matty! Just trying to get the ball rolling again here, just getting video edited as time and energy allow.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Glad to see you back on line Everett. Now all is right with the world. Nice fabrication as well.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Lol, thanks Harold 😃

[@user-wo7rz3yn4o]

Nice to see you again Everett. Tell that Perry he's welcome to visit me in Southern Alberta 😊. Keep up the good work fellas.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Lol, Thanks! It was a big surprise to me, honestly the stuff he shared was great but getting to meet him and have a good visit was awesome as we're both mechanics to boot.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Always great to see you Everett, And a great repair.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Gary, I was happy with how it turned out. Still feeling rusty on the machines but hoping more shop play time can fix that, lol

[@terrycannon570]

Good job Everett. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Terry, glad you still want to come hang out when I can finally get my poop in a group to get a video edited, lol!

[@OhHeyTrevorFlowers]

I hear you about isolation as a stay at home parent. I moved to Seattle when the kid was 6mo old and the first few years were hard. Luckily, I found a good coworking space where I could go be around adults for a few hours each week.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

It is definitely a challenge for me at times. I love my kids immensely, which is why I am home with them (my wife has a more stable, lucrative career) but will admit that even a couple days a week at a day job is beneficial for my mental health. Sounds like you found a good setup too to allow "thinking outside the box" of your home during the day!

[@JourneymanRandy]

Nice repair Everett. Good seeing you back in the shop and I get a cameo appearance. Take care.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Randy! This is footage that FINALLY got edited and posted, got a couple more videos in the can to assemble too, hopefully this fall will allow more participation in the community here again.

[@jamesreed6121]

I recently did a similar project. I have a Boyer Schultz 6" X 12" surface grinder. So far the only problem I have came across was the Vertical Lift lead screw was worn down so much the treads were almost gone. I restored the nut and lead screw. I did the nut replacement just about the same as you did. So far so good! Good to see you back in the shop. KOKO!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks James! I've seen those Boyer Schultz machines, they are a good size for a home shop (on the wish list, lol). That sounds like pretty brutal wear on that lead screw, but with grinding dust on everything over the years it sounds like surface grinders lead a pretty hard life in a commercial setting.

[@ostie01]

I only saw only a couple of machinist using a file the correct way on a late and you are one of them, great for you and those who watch your video

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks! I am normally right-handed, but definitely don't want to reach over a chuck. Not worth risking life and limb (literally!) for a home hobby project.

[@Rustinox]

Making someting useful in the home shop. I should give it a try one day :)

[@EverettsWorkshop]

It's an addicting habit. Just thankful I finally made something useful! 😁

[@fredsmachinewerks4811]

Hey Everett Nice to see you working in the shop again. Cheers

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Fred, just trying to do the Tube thing around the chaos that is my life, lol

[@michaelhale4041]

Great to see another video Everett. Hope the family is doing well.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Michael! We're ok, busy, but ok overall. Hope you and yours are doing well too!

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Everett, Really sorry for being late to watch this video... nice to see you back machining, nice job with the nut Take care Paul,,

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Hey Paul, no need to apologize! I'm behind on most of my friends' work, including yours. I need to apologize to you, if anything!

[@joecolanjr.8149]

Great to see you again Everett! Enjoyed the project...looking forward to alot more!! Take care.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Joe, I appreciate the kind words. Hoping to be able to participate more here in the fall, just have to keep my family stuff ahead of my hobby stuff.

[@joecolanjr.8149]

@@EverettsWorkshop I completely understand!!

[@MyLilMule]

Thanks for the shout out, Everett. It is much appreciated. I never quite understood why bronze is so grabby. I learned about that the hard way. LOL! Rather than using the knee, I've started using a hand wheel on the head's power feed to drill into soft materials like bronze. A lot smoother than the quill handle. Besides, I hate moving the knee. HAHA!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Hi Greg, sorry it took so long to get this footage edited and posted. I got my mill used, and apparently the fine quill feed wheel is missing on my machine, so the knee was my option. Will likely be a build project at some point for that too as the "to do" list gets worked through!

[@josephlovell6951]

Will I'm glad to see you back. Hope you can start getting the shop back up and running

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks! It is functional, and has been used for a few projects now. Still a disaster, but entropy is a force that is constantly battled with, lol!

[@josephlovell6951]

@@EverettsWorkshop I watch all your videos just hoping you can get back to working In the new shop. I know that a process it is. I have got a few machines. And moved in a new place 8 months ago and still don't have it set up to work in. But life is complicated don't you know..

[@donaldnaymon3270]

Great video. Good to see you in the shop. Nice work. Thank you for sharing.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Donald, just trying to get a bit caught up with both life and the channel, lol!

[@matspatpc]

Nice to see you back working in the workshop!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Mats, just trying to get back at it around family responsibilities. Got more stuff I want to do, just need the time!

[@matspatpc]

@@EverettsWorkshop Oh, I never thought your lack of videos was due to "not wanting to work on things" or "not wanting to film while doing it". We all struggle with the fact that a day has 24 hours, and there are some things that are more important to machining (unless that's how you pay your bills, of course).

[@jamiebuckley1769]

good to see you back in the shop everett. looking forward to more videos. thumbs up bud.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks! Yeah, been a busy summer, but managed to get a couple projects in. Still editing a couple videos yet.

[@EmptyPocketProductions]

As always. Great content and video. We appreciate it all !

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Chris, it's a simple part, but I was happy with the results, lol. Part of this is just getting back in the swing as best I can with available time!

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Nice work Everett , I bought a nut for my lathe a while back and found that making one is way cheaper & less backlash . ENJOYED !

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Shawn, we just couldn't get this part through the original tool dealer, and the only other option to purchase was from a similar machine that is sold in Australia. Which is hard to deal with postal service lately anyway. So, making a new one was the only option. I was just surprised at how tight tolerance thread the cheap East Asian tap cut, given the little amount of backlash at the end.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

@@EverettsWorkshop It is hard to get parts for some of the equipment sold these days. I was able to order a nut for mine through Grizzly but I found it had a loose fit and more backlash than I had hoped for . Your right I ordered one of those taps as well to make a new one and they are surprisingly tight tolerance.

[@TheMiniMachineShop]

YAY! Everetts back on the air!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Dave, I'm trying to get a little done here, little done there, and as you know it just takes time to get one's "schtuff" together, lol

[@TedRoza]

Hi Everett... good to see you working in the shop especially when the job works out so well 👍 😆 🤣 😂. I thought you had a DRO on your mill. Hope to see lots of videos coming from you.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Ted, I'm satisfied with that part in the end. And no, I have no DRO on any of my machines. The hobby budget has been drastically reduced since my offspring appeared, lol, and DRO systems got bumped down the priority list a ways!

Thank god we get another video, been waiting man. Like your channel!!!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Lol, thanks for the kind words! I haven't quit, just got a bit thin on time and energy due to family stuff this summer 🙄

[@howder1951]

Great to see you in the shop Everett and a lovely little project to wade back in on. I had to make a left hand internal trapezoidal about that size this summer. Too cheap to buy a tap, I did the trial and error, fiddle about, and a whole bunch of re-grinds until I got one. But it was enjoyable and it was for family, xo yeah. Anyhow, you have a great fall season and we all hope to see you around in future, cheers!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Hey Howie! This is the first experience I've had with trapezoidal threads per se - messed with a bit of Acme threading a while back but not the metric version like this. I can imagine that threading into a cylinder from the side with a single point would be a pain, hopefully yours was at least into a flat face!

[@howder1951]

@@EverettsWorkshop Actually the tool clearance took a while to work out, but being a LH it was cut from the chuck side out, on another project I was cutting 11 1/2 TPI in a shallow blind hole, that took a lot of thinking, no measuring with wires, just seat of the pants trial and error. Lots of fun!

[@charlescompton4495]

Very good operation! Back to enjoying your videos. Looking forward to more machine and family stuff. Greg the Buckeye bricklayer! (Well, just got to have an alias, ha ha.)

Well done, Everett 😊. Looked like a good tap. Tried a cheap one on some aluminum bronze and it was quite the bear to tap lol. I didn't see any jars full of yellow fluid and your nails look well groomed, got out to the shop in the nick of time! 🤣 Thanks for the vid bud! 😁 Cheers!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Lol, thanks Chris! The tap was some oddball Amazon store name, basic East Asian import stuff, but it seemed to cut ok. Has that "Blue Nano" coating stuff on it, not sure if it made any difference at all.

[@bcwrangler]

It's nice to help a friend with their lathe repairs! The shop's all put together now Everett?

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Steve and I help each other out, he's my buddy with the truck shop where I sometimes work. Back part time now, we'll see what he needs me to modify for him as time goes on. The shop here is functional, and I've gotten to use it for a few things now, but it's still a bit of a disaster.

Nice job. Did you have to source the TR12x2mm tap from overseas?

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks Spehro! Yeah, had to order the tap from East Asia (got it through Amazon though), and it's got that "Blue Nano" coating on it. It seems like a lot of these little hobby lathes have that thread pitch so should be a handy one to keep around.

[@m0xya]

very nice job

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Thanks! Thanks for popping by!

[@tacticalrabbit308]

Everett what would you do to replace a 9/16 stud bolt that pulled all the threads out of a hub ? I have a 9/16 inch pull through stud but the shoulder is .588 inches before the locking part and a 9/16 drill bit to clean up the damaged thread area , I think the hub is cast iron , any thing you can tell me would help

[@TedRoza]

If you have room either drill out & fit a bigger bolt, thread lock it on, then drill out & re thread to suit 9/16 stud & thread. Or make a bigger stud base with a 5/8 thread, with the stud shank reduced to suit the 9/16.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

I would agree with Ted as one good thread repair option, but you might also check into whether a Heli-Coil type or Time-Sert type insert might work too. Might be simplest, but depending on how nasty the hole is, Ted's ideas might come into play.
