Cross Feed Screw Fix, South Bend 13 (pt 9)

[@lecnac855]

The challenge is the best part of the finished job. You stood up well and overcame. Well done.

[@Thesheddweller]

Cheers

[@leslieaustin151]

Extraordinary work, as usual! Les

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, thanks.

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Paul, Very nice work... Also I like the idea of an expended nut, I will watch with interest to see how that come out. Take care. Paul,,

[@Thesheddweller]

Ah.. I’m hoping that one lights a few fires. cheers

Nicely done 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice work and nice to get rid of the excessive play. Enjoyed, cheers!

Hi thanks...

[@Ir77iridium]

Beautiful work. I have to do the same job tomorrow and your video is very helpful.

[@steved8038]

Very nicely done and congrats on getting over the problems,looking forward to how you make the nut and the final design .Thank you .

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, I’m on the nut now. cheers

[@philhermetic]

Brilliant work! Phil

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, Thank you. next video out soon. cheers

[@JamesP_TheShedShop]

🤣Paul I like your sense of humor, I'm still laughing.🤣 And yes we can blame our age for a lot. Very nice how you worked out cutting the threads, pretty hard material. Take care and thanks for the videos.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, thanks but my wife thinks my sense of humour needs a bit of a polish, mind you she’s heard it all before, cheers

[@craftycri]

"more slop than a pea in a whistle"!!! I have never heard that before! I hope I heard that right! English, you GOTTA love the idioms! thank you sir! I was remembering another machinist trying to make a rather small diameter, but long lead screw and having it bow, chatter and generally bugger up the acme threads... I was thinking, hmm, he might have some problems here, but I've never seen a Following rest before! Wow!

[@alantier6881]

You are an incredible inspiration Sir, who goes to show what can be done with the right mindset, and for that, I Thank You

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, thank you, cheers

[@captainraypaul4919]

Great job Paul! One part at a time 👍🏻

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, thats the plan. cheers

[@ypaulbrown]

Enjoyed this video very much, Cheers from the USA, Paul

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, glad you enjoyed, cheers

[@NellsMechanicalManCave]

Paul ! Got to be totally honest. You work on a much higher level than me. Might have to watch this several times 😁

[@Thesheddweller]

Don’t put yourself down, I watch what you put out and its pretty impressive keep riding the breeze. cheers

[@Kevin-gx8lc]

Good job Paul, looking forward to seeing you take on the challenge of the nut! Greetings from Southport.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi kevin, so am I,.. so am I. Cheers

[@tonyray91]

Looks like a custom travelling steady mounted on the crosslide is a future project. I had a similar experience with the shaper, someone had replaced the feed screw only they had changed the pitch, took me a while to work out why the graduated dial didn’t tally with the feed rate.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi Tony, yeah modifying the steady would be a future project, but its going to have to wait in the queue. There are loads of projects on the way, but now I’ve got lots of people asking for bits to be made. regards

[@FredMiller]

Very nicely done sir! I appreciate your exacting explanations. Keep up the good work!

[@Thesheddweller]

Thank you. Cheers.

[@danhoag373]

I.did about the same thing with my clausing 10x36 except I bought an all thread and cut the same way then braised the 2 ends works great 73 dan

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, I did think about buying a screwed rod, but that means spending money. Cheers🤣

[@breconmerthyrgwr9250]

Hi, I've just done exactly the same with my Harrison L5A, after a couple of false starts I finally did it. I repaired the original nut by boring out the old threads, silver soldered in a piece of bronze, I made a tap using the same hss tool I ground for the leads screw and tapped it. All the best, Tom

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, I thought about using the old thread as a tap, to rough out the nut before finishing with a good tap. Mind you I like the idea of silver soldering a sleeve in…cheers.

[@SoBoring136]

Good job mate

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, thanks.

[@MyLilMule]

I've been tempted to replace bit the compound and cross feed screws on my 13". Nice job, Paul.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, thanks

[@garygenerous8982]

That probably explains why the threaded section had such low hardness. Neat to find anyways.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, sure was. cheers

[@charliemacrae1045]

Great video. Thank you

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, sorry i didn't reply earlier, I missed your comment, Thanks. cheers

[@HansFormerlyTraffer]

Wow, thanks for the in depth explanation. I am a novice...I thought you may be able to cut and grind the old lead screw into a tap to make the new nut. Because it is a bit undersized it may just work out very well.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi Hans. The lead screw used as a tap( after preparation )wouldn’t work because the old lead screw is smaller than the new one by a very small amount, where as a new tap should be up to 0.125mm ( 0.005”) bigger for that size acme screw. regards

[@michaelwinters2777]

Exact same condition as my 38 south bend 14.

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi, On the assembly video I might have a question or two about my lathe and you may have the answer to one of my questions….. we’ll see ay.😉

[@michaelwinters2777]

I’ve been in the process of producing the compound screw. I was considering making this one also.

[@williamsworkshopuk]

Hi Paul, I've been muddling along with a dead centre and a shop-made s/h live centre for a while now. Would you recommend getting a proper live centre or persevere?

[@Thesheddweller]

Hi William. Muddling along is, for me, a phrase that very much sums up the engineering industry. I find, if what I've got does the job,.. that's enough. But, if I need to buy something to help me get the job done I’ll only buy it under certain conditions… that is, if I can’t make what I need, I can't borrow what I need, is it for a one off job and I can afford what I need, will it make my life much easier . This is very much in line with most engineering industry practices. regards Ps, if you have a dead centre with a tungsten carbide tip that'll do for almost everything.

[@lecnac855]

Where have you been cousin? Does it take this long to send it across the pond?

[@Thesheddweller]

Err…. Yes.

[@chrislee7817]

Are you tempted to make a double nut rather than a long nut? Hardinge use this system to eliminate any backlash. It's a bit like a gib but in nut form if you know what I mean. Don't know what they are called, rather like the method of locking two nuts together but only just touching. Does my poor description make sense?

[@Thesheddweller]

Mmmm, I'm not sure I want to go to that level of of backlash removal because I’m used to having it around, it’s like an old friend. Without backlash I’ll still go through the motions. Sad init.

[@chrislee7817]

@@Thesheddweller it's very nice to be able to adjust how much backlash you like though. Worth looking at and quite simple to make, I love clever. ❤

[@chrislee7817]

….and a cunning plan it was.

yeah it was rather good if I say so myself. cheers
