Making A Draw Tube For The Lathe

[@funwithmadness]

I love how the entire video is full of super high precision then it ends with "Hulk smash!" :)

[@BruceWSims]

OK...a lot of people won't get this, but my deepest thanks for doing such a simple project Well. Anybody can put an Internal thread and use it for collets. The people who catch my attention are the ones who make every machining effort to be the best expression of itself. Nice Job!! Well Done!!!😊😊😊😊😊

Other videos can wait.

More impressive work amazing job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very nice work mister.

Thanks!

[@ClickspringClips]

Cheers mate :)

Totally tubular man!

[@billdoodson4232]

I'd love to see a video of what equipment you use to film these. How and why you film them the way you do? Basically, the what, why, when, who and how of making them.

[@michaelengelby732]

The doobley-doo has all the links of his equipment. Get that, and copy his style. Done!

[@CraigLYoung]

Thanks for sharing 👍

The 3C collet , big brother to my 6AT collets .

[@joemendyk9994]

Watched the whole thing to see what a draw tube is for. Still don't know.

[@someguy4476]

How or when do you decide to use the 3 jaw chuck versus a collet style holder??

[@ClickspringClips]

Generally, a collet will be suitable if the work is being re-chucked for more cutting & reasonably good concentricity with the OD or just-turned features is a priority. If the features are all being turned in one sitting, perhaps the convenience of the 3-jaw might be preferred. Need dialled in centering? perhaps the 4-jaw. Planning a set of must-be-concentric features at both ends? Perhaps between centers will be best. Need to protect the OD surface finish of a part? Perhaps a better grip than the jawed chucks? Again, possibly collets. Many factors play into the decision of lathe workholding. It will depend on the available tools, what the part requires, and the creative whim of the turner - Cheers :)

That is a long ream. Good lord

[@624Dudley]

Shiny! 👍

[@funnytourtoise]

Out of interest, what are the clamps for? - To add additional weight to help with balance? 🤔

[@mapgeek6]

Are you asking about the drive dogs he used?

[@mr.b2232]

One drive dog clamped to the dead center which spins with the chuck, the other drive dog clamped to the workpiece and being driven by the first drive dog. 🤔

[@skunkjobb]

If you mean the ones that you first see at 1:57, it's as mr.b2232 said. Without them, you couldn't transfer enough torque to the work piece when it's only held between two pointy centers.

[@michaelprochaska6907]

Why have you started doing that TikTok-esque staccato rapid-fire jump-cut editing lately (like at around 2:10, for example?)

[@steamer2k319]

Maybe speed through turning the equipment over instead of cutting it out?

[@LoremIpsum1970]

Next installment...making covers for your ways...🤣

[@Inventerius]

Why did you ream the inside?

[@howardosborne8647]

Because he can 🤣

[@billdoodson4232]

So it looks really good where you can't see it!

[@mr.b2232]

👍😎

[@goodwaterhikes]

😎👍

[@sdrc92126]

I am not worthy

[@michaelkoester8821]

Wow you made a tube. We'll put a picture of it on the refrigerator. 🙄

[@jyvben1520]

yeah no example or explanation what a draw tube does, title says "for the lathe," should it say "on the lathe" ?

[@steamer2k319]

​​@@jyvben1520 I'm pretty sure it's both (for/on). That said, I have no idea what a draw tube is.
