Thank you and you have a great xmass learning a lot of you and l have a old lathe like your one I think mine is Australia made one I’m only a new to lathe work 👍🏻🍺

[@DavoShed]

That’s great to hear. I did an apprenticeship when I was young and the knowledge just stuck. It’s all old school knowledge these days but it’s simple, logical and you can do it at home without spending a million bucks. Once you have seen all my videos 🤠 go check out Mrpete222 especially his older videos. I’m pretty sure that’s his channel name. Thanks again for commenting. Let me know if you have any questions 🤠

Do you know how to grind a tool for truing up a center drill hole? I've heard it done, but I've never seen it.

[@DavoShed]

You could do it with a chamfer tool like this one, just grind it to 30 deg instead of 45 deg. I think I have seen Abom79 true up a Center with a tiny boring bar with the compound slide set to 30 deg Abom has a lot of videos to sift through 🤠 You could grind a small boring bar from HSS fairly easily as it would not need to be very long. Just make sure you support your workpiece well with a steady rest if you can. Good luck and thanks for commenting. Dave

The chamfering tool works great, thanks for the tip about extra clearance required for internal holes. Yes please on parting video. All the best.

@@DavoShed Got to get you over a 1000 subs

[@DavoShed]

I get about one sub per day currently. 🤠 It’s all good as long as I’m videoing stuff I enjoy doing anyway. Some videos take off months after being published which is really odd. I’m worried I’ll run out of ideas but that hasn’t happened yet. Do you have a lathe in your workshop yet? If so what is it? Maybe a should do a video on how a lathe is measured :)

@@DavoShed I have small Taiwanese 6"x19" lathe.. I need to build a bench for it and find space in a shed for it.

[@DavoShed]

@@gregwmanning Sounds Perfect to learn on. Keep watching :)

[@thelotusguy]

A video on parting off would be good.

[@DavoShed]

I have done one of those about a year or so ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npaWh4d3q72ZY9Esi=ZaYG_EH8ImaJwvKq Let me know what you think and if it improves your technique. Do you have a specific problem you are trying to solve?
