First operation on the turret lathe

What makes a turret lathe relevant nearly a century after they were created is the fact you can run two tools into the work at the same time, even 3 or 4 with proper setup, while a cnc generally will only use one. In 11 minutes we true the blank and square it off to length, and put 3 bore diameters onto it as well as a o ring groove. All to within .005. Once the parts have had a day to cool will bore the critical diameters to within .0005 on this same machine in about one minute. Then on to the second operation

Ran one on weekends to make pocket money back in 1965. Great machine for repetitive parts.

super nice lathe!

[@user-sd6us2zn2b]

Thanks for posting this i,ve never seen a turret lathe working before ,what a great machine ,i,m just learning machining on an old lathe ,never thought that a bloke would have a use for a turret lathe but now you showed me the possibillitys love this stuff cheers Paul.

[@davidjames1007]

Very interesting, never seen a lathe like that. Thanks for sharing

[@johnlawler1626]

Came out good mate 👍 thanks for sharing 👍

[@graedonmunro1793]

never seen a turret do so many things at once,, wonderful

[@rafihussain]

Great job

[@colinbagshaw1796]

That’s a capstan lathe as the back base stays still and the capstan moves back and forth on it. Great to see Digital readout on it. Thinking back how much easier for setting the stops or freehand digital reading like you do, very under rated machines nowadays, as setting the stops is what took all the time.

[@theessexhunter1305]

nice, well done from uk

[@ypaulbrown]

enjoyed this a lot...cheers from Florida, Paul

Dobra robota 😊

[@marcellino1956]

This man knows his business and seeing the way he works I'm sure he could make any part you want.... And I'm betting Some of those parts on the Rover roving on Mars..... I'm sure he made!!!

I still use a Hitachi sieki A2 excellent machines for production runs.

Good stuff. Subscribed.

Awesome. Bro needs a cam auto! 🤘❤

Aqui do Brasil. Uma pergunta porque do Alicante de pressão na broca. E um limitador?

[@GOAT86STUDIO]

NICE!

Thanks!

[@subhashk941]

Very nice. All operations facing drilling boring. I toomuch like ur toolpost tools holding system 👍👍 very easy and very fast out put coming 👍👍😍

[@rizwanyoutube4542]

In fact, so many tools are installed on one machine

[@MrPnew1]

That's quite some machine you have got there

[@westislespecialprojects]

Thanks

[@anderslonn730]

Like your video😊

[@eliasangeles4989]

Todo está bien pero no es recomendable usar aire comprimido para limpiar las piezas maquinadas aún cuando use sus gafas de protección ocular.

[@user-wk1we2mn3g]

я один после смены фрезеровщиека смотрю как люди работают?)

[@therealspixycat]

Can you make a video which is much closer to the object you turn to see what is really happening with the different tools? Cool machine!

[@westislespecialprojects]

Yes I will be making more videos in the future

[@jmkramer872]

Very nice work. Beautiful part. Do you have stops set for the boring bars? I noticed it kicked out with the drill.

[@westislespecialprojects]

Yes each tool has its own stop

En mi experiencia, y en mi opinión, apenas se apretó la parte. Acabo de ver un accidente donde se salió la parte del Chuck y le pegó en la cara a la persona. Casi lo mata, pero pues cada quien trabaja como quiera on your own risk

Nice, torrent lathe

[@alexanderkoslowski7813]

Токарь Так Себе...😂

[@N19Sergey]

Странное противопоставление чпу. На этот станок можно поставить привода и контролер и тогда его функционал станет еще выше и все достоинства сохранятся. Ну и автосмену инструмента на обрабатывающих центрах тоже никто не отменял.

[@tranxuanhoang7731]

May I ask what brand is the lathe in the first 3 minutes?

[@westislespecialprojects]

Hitachi seiki

[@tranxuanhoang7731]

Thank you, can you tell me the catalog of the machine and its technological equipment?@@westislespecialprojects

[@Romgenas]

No brake on lathe?

[@westislespecialprojects]

No it’s not working

[@isverque74]

Torno revolver

[@adamsevcik7708]

now i can see why production increased by like gazzilion percent with the arrival of CNCs drill, face, turn OD, rough ID - operator must constantly supervise the machine, takes him almost 11 minutes when he arrives energetic, with good mood and will to work on turret CNC lathe with hydraulic chuck this takes 1 minute at most and the biggest slowdown will be the operator who gets bored by repetetive, fast paced work

[@user-bh5mz9gp2h]

Это токарно-револьверный. Револьверный станок не имеет резцедержателя, инструмент крепится в револверном барабане, имеющем горизонтальную ось вращения, как в современных станках с чпу.

[@GoldPenis18cm]

Здесь у револьверной головки вертикальная ось вращения. А так да, станки с чпу и создавались на базе таких универсальных токарников

Why do you need bloody mole grips

Deadens chatter from the drill

[@johnfrezer7716]

Hello, very slowly, you can do it much faster and without loss of quality!!!

[@daynemoir550]

Chuck Key left in the chuck, very very bad practice.

[@Michaelkv9if]

Agree, but I understand why he did it in this case.

[@etrainnew2840]

also，I don't think he tightened it enough before the first tunning

[@javierramires2814]

You must be on your game, or you will be done sooner.

[@raviyadav-bz4ik]

भाई मुझे खराद सिखा दोगे

[@funone8716]

Tighten that chuck in ALL 3 of the wrench locations. Machine needs a spindle brake. Your wasting time waiting for it to stop.

[@PHIL5750]

you need a CNC machine a lot faster

[@westislespecialprojects]

Also a lot more expensive

[@vatanahasret984]

Çok yavaş bir sistem. Boyle para kazanamazsın. Böyle Alemilyum bir malzemeyi universal Tornada daha çabuk işleyebilirim..

[@DennisShea-mf8wk]

Could clean up area and make it look more presentable. So much easier to work in a clean environment. otherwise neat vid.

[@rubitracks]

I’m carving up 48’ of 7” 6061, by the time I’m done I’ll fill two mini bulk bags with chips. It’s impossible to stay ahead of it unless you want to stop after each part and clean the machine.

[@camillosteuss]

@@rubitracks Exactly... Ok, alu is a terror with its rat nesting, but even steel in proper jobs produces a metric shit ton of chips that you cant manage... You can only shield the ways and allow the lathe to be completely immune to any chip damage potential, but other than that, its just swiping loads of chips every few minutes with your right arm behind the lathe... The cleanup can happen during a job if its a long job, as otherwise you might just drown in chips, but with most smaller jobs, the cleanup is reserved for after the job is done... All that matters is that the machine is safe from potential damage or accelerated wear - the mess is more of an optical nuisance rather than anything worse at that point... You cant work in a neat environment with machines, as that would mean that you are cleaning every 2 minutes...

[@subramaniahsiva2618]

He's not a skilled person. Just I think trainee. Coz he handling the chuck . Totally nt safety.

[@westislespecialprojects]

Removing the key from the chuck does not require skill, it requires training. I train my dog to pee outside because he can’t think for himself. Your boss trains you to remove the chuck key because he doesn’t trust you not to hurt yourself. To help you understand the key is in the chuck because I need to be able to hold the billet in the jaws with one hand while still being able to reach the key with the other.

I'm trying to find out more about turret lathes. Are there any downsides to a turret lathe like this one compared to a traditional lathe, i.e operations that can't be performed on a turret lathe. I have the opportunity to buy a made in Japan turret lathe very similar to your one for under 2k and my old vintage Boxford screwcutting lathe is getting a bit long in the tooth these days. And 3 phase isn't a problem for me, I'm just wondering if theres a catch with these turret lathes....

[@westislespecialprojects]

I can’t speak for all of them but as far as mine goes, it can’t do single point threading, it doesn’t have ratios for it. Also it’s hard to do any kind of bar work that requires a live centre, you can put one in the turret but it’s hard to push hard enough on it and just as hard to lock the turret down tight enough to hold it. Beyond that though I love mine. It’s especially handy for drilling since you can engage the turret and adjust feed rates.

[@LabiaLicker]

@@westislespecialprojectsThanks for your perspective.

[@anthonyrivers8395]

The question in my head was answered❤ that is an incredible machine ⚙️
