Friction welding on the lathe at home

I use my holbrook b13 lathe to friction weld
There are loud noises at some parts

[@joeycoston7692]

I like how he's like, "Weld complete! Video over!" Where's the result testing? 😭 How good was the weld?

[@turkyun]

Nice welding machine ;)

[@skylerbrownfield2633]

faster is always better when friction welding

[@skylerbrownfield2633]

when i friction weld polly fittings on water tanks the speed is around 3600rpm. i did this for 3 years with much success.

nice video.

[@riteshpahladsingh3819]

Good job, try heating up the welding surfaces with a cutting torch, should work better, since a lathe is not designed for friction welding.

Frayed sleeves while working on a lathe? Please don't wear sleeves on a lathe if you want to keep your arms.

[@wtfjpgmailcom]

CNC Guns i was thinking the same thing if it caught his sleeve good night ireen

[@sharpx777]

did you crack the tailstock quill?

[@Grushnerd]

If that's oil for coolant and it looked like oil good luck, it's everywhere and u have bright hot metal next to it you're going to burn the shop down

[@JakeAvatar1]

Holy lack of safety... wrenches left on machine, long loose fitting sleeves, my guess is the oil has a low flash point and will light up real easily.

[@danhard8440]

don't forget the cardboard to catch the molten pieces of metal haa haaa

[@jirehhundeby5499]

don't worry it is cut half and half with diesel to keep it flowing in the winter

[@christianheidt5733]

Poor lathe 😓

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

Poor headstock bearings. Circa $2000 for my Colchester

[@jackcaldwell485]

If you had heated up the metals before you tryed this would help you get the bonding you was wishing for

[@tjd2326]

I have a feeling theres alot more pressure involved in actual friction welding

[@davidut55]

Not as easy as they make it look! Ha ha. Not even a lathe can do it!

[@erickalex438]

Holding with tailstock not so good cus tailstock have play, also it need a good forse in order for metal to metal bond, easy 1or 2 tons of force on big pcs.

[@tylerhensley2312]

Oh I feel bad for that tail stock!

[@tjrhdeg6266]

That's some serious heat transfer on the jaws isn't it? Isn't there a concern of damaging them ?

[@KimberlyRPeacock]

You rock!!!

[@tylerstone6846]

Hey Jireh it's Tyler. This video showed up in my recommended videos. The internet is a small place, huh.

[@danhard8440]

you would have better luck not using 90 degree angle 85 or 80 would have worked better

[@steveallen5496]

What is the coolant used motor oil?

[@jirehhundeby5499]

motor oil and diesel so it doesn't freeze during the winter

[@zubeyrozturk830]

Can we use DC motors for Friction welding
