Grooving and Boring and Turning, Oh My! Monarch Lathe Action

Finally finished the wrap up video for the parts on Adam's Namseon engine lathe. It's always hard to work from a severely worn part as your only reference, but I made it work and the lathe has been back in service with no trouble.

Hello Aaron, Good to have you back on our screens... Good work reconstructing the worn parts... Take care. Paul,,

[@cavemaneca]

That intro always makes me feel like having a good morning.

[@paulm5302]

Great Video as Always Aaron... 👍 I always learn something new and valuable from your channel. Thank you for sharing with the community.

[@dcobel60]

So now, there are three machinist here in the East valley wow,.... great job on the parts, glad your making videos again!

[@jackheath6623]

really cool repair, top notch. i like watching someone working at a high level with these manual machines,

[@mikecabe6127]

Welcome back Aaron......It's always good to see your work. Thanks for another informative video!!!

[@jeremybaker8626]

Been missing the channel, one of my favorites, nice job on the part

[@terrybush4270]

Interesting as always. Good to know another lathe is back from the bone yard. Thanks for sharing.

[@bcwrangler]

Nice to see your video Aaron...always a pleasure to watch!

[@joell439]

Great to see you’re doing well. Seems like everything I do is the slow way, and I’m not even being entertaining. Thanks for the ride-a-long. 👍👍😎👍👍

[@bradthayer6782]

Good to see you again. This started sort of in the middle of things, but I enjoyed the story. Nice looking parts; hope they all fit.

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

Thanks! They fit great and that lathe has been making money for Adam since then. Always good to have a successful project.

[@stevebland6008]

Glad to have your videos back

[@ninthm00n]

Excellent again Sir Keep up the great work.

[@erichockuly9819]

Another great video…Keep them coming…Thanks Aaron!!!

[@EngineersWorkshop]

The shaft is almost as pretty as that lathe! Welcome back!

[@davelethaby1279]

Great work as usual, Aaron. As you indicated @ 5:15 ... it's your shop, you do it the best way you see fit or how you want to demonstrate it to others. There are always going to be the trolls and armchair experts no matter which way you tackle something.

[@dannywilsher4165]

Thanks for the YT entertainment!!! I totally enjoyed it!!!!

[@bid6413]

Slow is better than twice. Nice job Aaron. Always fun to see that Monarch making parts. Cheers, Will

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Aaron, you did a great job on these components, it’s hard working with worn out bits and there’s a lot of guess work involved, awesome video as always mate, Cheers

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

Thanks Matty!

Happy to see a video from you. I had to check if I unsubscribed by accident.

[@kimber1958]

Good to see you

[@Rustinox]

Not easy to base on a completely worn part to remake it. But you did. Nice work.

[@howder1951]

Enjoyed the project. Just for comment sake, I love that colour on the Monarch, teal is also my older daughter and grand-daughter's favourites. Cheers!

[@micheldilly8531]

Pourquoi pas rose bonbon 😅 nous en France on a des tours Caseneuve, croyez moi il sont très bien aussi et vert machine ou vert olive. Ceci dit vos machines sont très bien construites aussi.

[@6NBERLS]

Most excellent.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@adamsblanchard836]

Pain in the ass no doubt, especially when u have a passion ur trying to key all ur efforts into...kudos to all u guys all jokes aside and whatever might not have been really jokes too...kueefs i mean kudos

[@russkepler]

I'm pretty sure that you can treat that section of grooves as teeth in a gear on the shaft diameter for the purpose of measuring tooth depth with wires. Of course that would require that you know the gear pitch and angle of the mating pinion gear. But since it worked you're good.

[@adityapartap]

My fellow viewers and machinists, let's rename "boring" to "interesting" 😂😂😂

[@MidEngineering]

Maybe the sleeve on that shaft was a previous repair & it was originally all one solid piece!?

[@bpark10001]

The way to put that hub into the gear is to BRAZE it in. You can use ordinary propane torch. Temperature is low, & there is no thermal shock as in welding.

[@theessexhunter1305]

There is always a quicker way but that worked out ok.

[@ericschreiber1847]

5:51 what are you referring to as the Y axis?

[@bds21]

What tool where you using when doing the plunge cuts? Looks like a grooving tool?

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

I used a grooving and parting tool. Kennametal Beyond Evolution system.

[@jeffnelson3322]

Nice lathe. But I would have to repaint it. LOL i am old school grey.

[@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391]

You tube's most beautiful lathe ? I'm going to have to look if there's a vid of a Dean Smith and Grace.

[@gregeconomeier1476]

11:30 do those gear teeth meet specs? They look just worn out.

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

They are terribly worn out, but sometimes new parts aren’t available and I don’t have tooling to make new gears. Adam is working on getting new gears and then he can pull the bad ones out and scrap them.

[@HM-Projects]

Endmill envy, how much did you end up spending to fill that drawer full of endmills ? 😉

[@mayshack]

One of the many perks of working for a tool retailer.

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

The drawer shown in the intro is all drills. I bought a large lot of drills for cheap from a retiring machinist so I spent maybe $30 on what you see there. Was a really good score.

[@AndrewChandler-1]

Whats the exact model number of your lathe? I want to add one like it to my bucket list

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

This is a Monarch Series 60, 22.5x54” engine lathe. The powered compound was an option that wasn’t put on many lathes so I’m lucky to have this one.

[@Randallvgc]

Nice job! See you at the Bash?

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

Not certain that I’ll be there yet- had a family medical issue to take care of at home so I may have to cancel my trip to Stan’s. Still have my fingers crossed that I can make it.

[@infoanorexic]

8:45 why am I hearing air raid sirens and dive alarms ??? Oh, that's why ... carry on! 😉

[@JohnSmith-ed1sr]

Why did you stop making video. They were good

[@accuracymark]

Just one idea, you could of turned the shaft oversized to the gear bore diameter, then you wouldn’t have to make a sleeve

[@Henning_S.]

That was also my first idea, but he mentioned that his customer wants to replace that gear with a new one. If the new one is an original spare part, it is easily replaceable this way. If he had made the shaft with a larger diameter, the spare part won't fit and has to be machined to the lager diameter first.

[@wilde.coyote6618]

Beautiful machine, shame to dirty it.

[@melgross]

I’m surprised either of you didn’t make a new gear. I know you’d need the cutter, but they’re cheap on eBay. Or send it to Keith Rucker. He has full sets and makes gears occasionally. Finding a gear is going to be unlikely.

[@adamsblanchard836]

Maybe it's smarter over time too, of course it isn't always as simple as running the speed u want either it's running the speed ur tool and material allows along with other details

Nice old heavy lathe but, without a foot brake, I wouldn’t have it in my shop.

[@glencasson9046]

Holly crap!, I don`t think your supposed to run them in a mud bath/natural grinding paste!

Reverse engineering junk parts. Welcome to my world! 😂

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

Right in your wheelhouse! Just a little small.

[@wtcanal269]

Почему вы шестерню не поменяли полностью? Зачем производить ремонт? У неё же зубья совсем изношены, от коррозии и истирания. Сейчас можно купить готовые заготовки. Останется только расточить отверстие и задать ширину. Скорее всего даже не потребуется заказывать индивидуальное изготовление.

[@hotbike0077]

STOP LEAVING THE T-HANDLE IN THE CHUCK!

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

Thanks, safety manager guy.

[@silverbullet7434]

Yes she is the prettiest lathe on KZbin

[@anonymic79]

Your gear looks more like a sprocket. It'd be better to just make a new one.

[@adamsblanchard836]

It's not hard enough, send in someone like that Wallace fella again. U know someone with all kinds of money 3-7 x wives sleeps with all the married women he can while he works sales and wtf ever else... i mean i think i need another adjustment like that on top of a bunch of hating ass mfs....

[@MF175mp]

Less setups is always the better way to do things imo.

[@MrAvjones]

Just speed the film up, that will shut them up. Like what you are doing. Peanut Brittle....

[@diegovianavillegas3297]

That gear seems to be unusable to me. Look how thin are these teeth. Doesn't worth the effort. I would buy/make a new one

[@junkyardkid8717]

Lame how every KZbin machinist is now using fast forward constantly.

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

I’ve been using sped up video since I started on KZbin. It’s not ideal, but it allows me to show more of the process without the video being an endless, repetitive slog. I had over 3 hours of video from this part of the project, and people just don’t have the desire to watch even half that much content in one vid.

[@junkyardkid8717]

@@AlwaysSunnyintheShop I enjoy the ASMR, as well as the slow process of manual machining (not slow motion). Life is already 1000mph. Also I don't mind a lengthy video, but I'm sure you see more of the statistics on video making.

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

Yeah I’m with you actually. I have no problem watching an hour long machining video, but the attention span of most viewers is pretty short. I try to balance the content with making it as interesting as possible in a 15-25 min video.

[@adamsblanchard836]

You know what most people would say about your lathe if it were at some big company with a fairly decent size work force right? "It's just a machine" "who cares".... I bet you they aren't wishing to buy that $300 rifle from Walmart when they see a hand made double rifle or shotgun or any decent firearms...... I hate to break it to em but, ur not buying quality on that level from production..... In the morning time i usually have that "solid" u so seem to be stuck on. Ya hear!

[@than_vg]

my 2 cents: intentionally doing something in a suboptimal way in order for it to be 'more entertaining for YT' has no place in the technical world. Reminds me of a guy cutting a huge piece of brass with a slitting saw in order to provide 'nice YT content'...

[@AlwaysSunnyintheShop]

My day job is literally spent on process improvement in machine shops so doing things in different ways is all around me. If I showed a slow, sloppy way to do something and didn’t say anything about it, it might seem that I didn’t know better or was being careless. By pointing out that I was showing it for a reason, people could then understand why it was being done that way. Hopefully someone will see that and it will give them an idea for solving a problem turning a part that can’t just be flipped around. Not faulting your comment, just explaining my reasoning behind that part of the video.
