[@antoninperbosc1532]

Yes but i hope Donn will invest ASAP on something to extract oil fumes ont the lathe because they are very nasties for the lungs ! i put one at the back of the lathe because fumes are sucks by the central hole and go all around the garage and one mobile close to the chuck.

Good afternoon Donn. It’s always satisfying watching you fabricate your own tools. We get to remember back when the possibility was our own and wonder what happened that we never continued in the machinists trade. It’s good to see folks who continued as you are doing. Best wishes for you and your family family and for a happy life. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

[@DonnDIY]

It seems that popular career choices often don't include manual labour these days. I, too, went on to study IT some odd 15 years ago, switched to wood science instead after first semester, but ended up in the steel industry / fabrication business. But as I look back, these were my own choices and I'm happy where I am in life at the moment. So thank you for the good wishes and thanks for being part of this journey, Fred.👍

[@orangepickel2]

My father was one of America's unknown great engineers he used to say to me all the time: nothing is greater than an idea that's time has come! This applies to every person on an individual basis if they desire to complete a project they choose to perform. You are a living example of this.

[@DanKoning777]

The industrial sink has definitely "seen some stuff" you're right; well everything except a Brillo pad and a cleaning agent. 😄 Great video Donn. [13:17] I don't know if it would weaken the die and the holder too much, but drilling a small hole through both pieces on the top, and tapping to add a small reservoir for cutting oil would be convenient, and allow for a steady flow of whatever cutting oil you choose. Modifying the mounting bolt might make a good reservoir.

Seem to me it would have been simpler and faster to use the lathe to single point cut that M30 thread on that shaft.

[@DonnDIY]

But I had the die though...

[@TheMetalButcher]

@@DonnDIY But you have a lathe though. That's every die and then some. I never die cut threads when they are easy to single point.

[@TheFool2cool]

@@TheMetalButcher He might not have the threading tool? Then he needs to cut it and keep test fitting the nut, engaging auto feed and disengaging before you crash the tool. Tbh if I had the die, I'd reach for it as well, he also had no way to use this die prior to this job, so he's done the job and added a tool to the shelf.

[@injesusname3732]

@@TheFool2cool he added a tool thats still slower than using the lathe for a thread

[@BayerischeMeisterWerke]

It is for sure not slower than with the lathe!😅 It took me ages and was pretty complicated when i tried that with a M20 in Aluminium! And you probably need double the amount of cuts for a M30 thread in steel. I'd definitely also use the die if i had one!

Yup, I bought a set of thread cutters from eBay just because I needed to cut SAE thread. Those cutters were so brittle and broke first use. Have to look into some highly rated brand ones.

[@paulmartin3340]

Another quality home made tool to add to your collection! So do you give yourself a lifetime warranty?? Lol Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺🇪🇪

For the holder itself, maybe. Have to redo the handles, already bent these 16mm soft steel rods. 😁 Gonna make 20mm replacements.

[@rolfnilsen6385]

I would like to see the Donn DIY drill bit sharpening tutorial :-) That 2 inch drill really cut cleanly

[@DonnDIY]

If you noticed, it's sharpened a bit unevenly, it cut more on one side than the other.

@@DonnDIY I did not look for that. Was impressed with the clean swirl the bit made of the metal.

[@damienbabu6719]

Where would you even find a drill bit that big? The biggest one I have is 1/2 in lol, great vids and can’t wait to see more cool projects!!

[@DonnDIY]

My aunts husband was a machinist, I got most of the lathe tools from him. He was a great guy.

[@kameljoe21]

I think the largest I have is well over 1.25 inches Morse taper. I would have to go out and check the size. I have a kit from 1/2 to 1" with 1/2 shank. I also have a fair collection of Morse taper drills from number 1 to number 4. Most drill presses are number 2 Morse taper.

[@garageguy5174]

@@kameljoe21 I have no idea what a Morse taper is but I’m sure it’s important, I’ve just got a dewalt drill and a 30 + pice dewalt drill bit set and maybe some reamers if I’m going fancy but I’ll definitely check a Morse taper out, thanks...

[@kameljoe21]

@@garageguy5174 When you go back to the part of the video where he pulls out that big drill at about 3:20 you will see the big drill the shaft and a tab looking thing. The shaft and tab looking thing is called a Morse taper. I think this might be a number 5 maybe. They size them from 1 ( smallest ) to massive numbers. The taper/ waffle cone shape is desgined to fit in to you tail stock ( lathe ) drill press or milling machine. The taper is what locks your drill chuck in place. If you have ever used a drill press or have one at home, if you pull down on the down feed handle you will see a slot on the spindle which will expose the top of the Morse taper of the chuck. A pie shape key is used to slide in there and tap a hammer on it to remove the taper. This way you can swap chucks out or add in Morse tapers drills.

[@thomream1888]

@@kameljoe21 Great explanation, and one of the reasons I read all the comments. Donn does a great job with his subtitles (cuz I'm NOT a machinist!) but all you helpful smart guys fill the comment section with really good tips as well. Thanks for the education William - AND Donn!

[@tarekessed3036]

[@rolnikfarmer1631]

You need to countersink the threaded holes for the knobs to be able to press the conical part at the end of the thread into the holes. Thanks to this, the handwheel transfers a larger moment of bending (strengthening)

You don't peck while drilling metal. It creates a small layer of hardened surface which will dull your HSS drills prematurely.

Use screw cutting by using lathe tools use a screw cutting thread profiles and shape the lathe tool to it simple and before all this use a dial caliper gauge to check that machining bit is running true dear, dear me .

[@K0ql4Chanel]

Why you just don't use single point thread tool on a lathe?

[@jagboy69]

That's what I was thinking... Maybe he was missing change gears or he has a dozen of these threads to cut.

[@ADBBuild]

Cutting threads with a die is faster. If you have several to cut and have the die already, it's worth spending the time to make the handle. Plus single point threading can be intimidating for hobbyist machinists, even more so if you have to do several.
