HAMMER HANDLE #4 INTRODUCTION TO LATHE WORK (how to machine and calculate tapers)THATLAZYMACHINIST

Fourth part of a six part video describing the machining of a machinist's positioning hammer. This project introduces the novice (beginner) machinist to several basic metal lathe operations as well as introducing basic notions on organizing and preparing a project. More specifically this video shows how to machine tapers (taper turning) with a taper attachment as well as taper turning by tailstock offset. This video is part of a free online machine shop course accessible to everyone on my webpage THATLAZYMACHINIST.COM . No sign up, no subscription and no hassle, it's all free and always will be. As for all of my machine shop videos, this video is specifically produced for novice machinists. Thanks for understanding that I am a professional toolmaker and teacher but I am not a professional video producer (and it shows). I produce these videos for fun as a little retirement project that lets me give back a little of what was passed on to me by so many amazing trades people, most of whom, sadly, are no longer with us.

Again awesome presentation. You made this so simple to understand. Thank you for all your hard work in providing this type of content.

[@yanndebonne7541]

What great videos you have here. Thank you so much for posting and on your website for posting drawings. I have no idea how you haven't shown up in my feed! Very clear explanations. I can't wait to make (attempt!) this hammer handle! I appreciate the time. Thank you.

[@markfergerson2145]

Between you, Blondiehacks, Abom79 and some others I'm learning more arcane black magic machining tricks than I'd have thought possible.

[@joebabb504]

All the best to you and yours for 2022. Keep on dreaming and enjoy life as much as possible.

[@Daledavispratt]

I own an ancient Atlas which I really enjoy. Yours is the first I've ever seen with hand scraping on the bed..it's a thing of beauty. Thanks Marc. :-)

[@chattonlad9382]

Cheers Marc, all the best for 2021. Hope things improve a bit this coming year.

[@CraigLYoung]

Thanks for sharing!

[@TABE-O]

Wicked. Thanks for sharing

30:00 If you're working professionally, obviously a CNC lathe would be ideal, but I can see the need for a manual. Great video!

[@TheDefeatest]

Is that a Harrison Lathe? I think I use the same one everyday! Yours looks much nicer and cleaner than mine!:)

[@joeduda8507]

I think your terms are wrong the center you are using in the spindle is a dead center and the ones with a bearing are live centers

[@damojfowler]

It is a dead centre but he refers to it as live as it is turning with the chuck.
