how to make a velocity stack

video how to make a velocity stack with the lathe

[@adrianoricardi1883]

Just did my first stack last night, "Demers´s way"... turned out beautifully in the first try!! Can´t stop thanking you for posting this video!

[@NathanNostaw]

Love your technique in making these. So simple but effective.

[@marczakflys]

I love it when people use only what tools they have and make something Awesome. Very nice job.

[@raymonddemers3768]

Hi Don it's just a piece of steel inside the tube for support. If you don't put that piece in the tube will collapse under vibration and get out of the lathe witch is very dangerous it append to me twice before i put the support and that is why i made my cutter very long to make sure my pieces couldn't get out. You just have to make a piece that fit very snugly inside the tube and you will able to tighten your pipe so it won't fly out i hope this help you

[@raymonddemers3768]

Thank you The knife is a simple piece of mid steel and it as to be round or else it will cut the aluminum instead . You only have to push the aluminum not cut it. The important thing is the filler piece inside the tube to be able to tight it to the machine if you don't put it, it will scrap the tube and it's very dangerous Ray

[@adrianoricardi1883]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Very simple tooling (I saw the other video), very creative thinking! Will try to make one today for my new bike! Thank you again!!!

[@raymonddemers3768]

Ok i finally posted a second video but please do not laugh about my English because I speak french most of the time enjoy

[@alexrenault3620]

No probs Good work What is the tool called?

[@rwdford]

Great job making the velocity stacks with full rolled back edge, really nice work Surprised how simple the form tool is, will be useful thanks for sharing

[@coax.]

hey man thanks so much for showing this and the tool for forming it, just made a stack came out good.

[@Regalmetalworks]

I use the yellow tank and sped it up to 1200....made a new tool that had the correct radius ans success! Thx!

[@psherman7705]

never use gloves on turning machines ....

[@SuperElektrikis]

exactly, those gloves are accident waiting to happen...

[@85artz31]

I'm a machinist that made me cringe what you say about

[@ejdprice]

I too, wonder why everyone takes a chance these days with "any" gloves or jewelry on. I don't even want long sleeve shirts on in case the back of my arm gets too close. Plus I see these rubber gloves on so many mechanics. I worked in the car dealers for well over a decade, and my hands were always able to be washed. I also still had my hands to take home with me everyday.

[@baklap141]

Ugghhh I thought the same 🙈

[@Regalmetalworks]

Thx for the video....I tried this last nite and was only able to make a bell as it wld not curl over. I tried using a round bar at an angle and then a 1" flat piece cut at an angle and all I cld make was a bell. Do you set the tool at the angle you want? How does it curl over? I was only running at 740 rpm and was using a 1" tube that i bored the thickness down to 2mm. Any insight would be awesome!

[@anthonydibiase3373]

Your video is about the best i have seen on youtube for making velocity stacks. Anthony

[@nanard289]

Result looks very nice and method seems easy to perform. Thanks for the lesson. Could you precise what kind of aluminum alloy you have selected to do it?

[@mdsfabbrisbane5716]

Hey Raymond! what tooling bit did you use in the machine to start the complex curve?

[@Intc1]

Maby yea im not sure as well but atm i have this tube to try. Btw wot lubricant/oil you used?

[@hammahtimebansheebuilda1388]

nice work!

[@383IROC]

This is wicked. If you do another video can you show us the profile of the tooling used to push the aluminum?

[@chinozie]

Hi Raymand... Good day. Based on the comment...you mentioned for alluminium....need to use a filler piece...may I know what kind of filler needed ? Thank you in advance...

[@Sms68]

Raymond, That is Incredible. R U a Machinist by Trade??? . I could use that Machine in My House. Do you want make me one for my 250cc Bobber I just built? Let me know. Great Job !!!

[@Intc1]

i want to ask wot was the lathe speed.

[@raymonddemers3768]

hi, it's just a pieces of metal you can see it in my second video at the beginning very easy to do

[@paulskartslifan4206]

How much for a 2 1/4” ID ( on the straight part ) aluminum velocity stack . I got a carb and bought a velocity stack and it won’t fit right. I can make a flange on the mill and then weld on the part that you make me .. well if you can make me one , or even feel like it ! Lol ... don’t care what radius it is or exact length but like 3-4” long would be good. Just trying to keep busy .. I hate being locked in the house.

[@Garageaholic]

I am so glad you uploaded this. Thanks so much. Is it just aluminum piping? simple as that? or is it steel?

[@raymonddemers3768]

it is aluminum tin wall

[@Cybrex666]

Ok, thank you for the valuable info. And the last question: How much is the aluminium tube thick?

[@thomasviallon2139]

Bonjour RaymondD'abord super boulot. Plus simple à faire que du repoussage vraiment super idée bravoJ'ai une question en ce qui concerne la chauffe de l'aluminium. Est ce une simple lampe à souder au butane ?Autre question, vu que l'aluminium ne chauffe pas comment faite vous pour le chauffer assez sans qu'il n'atteigne la temperature où il s'écroule ?Merci d'avance

[@jsengineering]

Please tell my what lubricant you use when shaping the aluminum.

[@raymonddemers3768]

Hi simple all usage grease

[@jsengineering]

I almost got this to work but had splitting problems. What alloy do you use?

[@raymonddemers3768]

How was using vibrant performance tubing

[@tonymarcuso]

hi Raymond, it's a nice video, i like it.Do you make tune Velocity stack, i mean some adapted perfectly to a bike ?

[@raymonddemers3768]

I am sorry I don't make it

[@tonymarcuso]

@@raymonddemers3768 Ok,no problem my friend

[@Cybrex666]

Nice job:) Stack material is aluminium? What material is the knife? Thx

[@kymlaird8448]

Where did you buy your aluminum tubing? What material did you make your tool with?

[@raymonddemers3768]

+Kym Laird the tube I bought direct from vibrant performance

[@raymonddemers3768]

thank you guy's if you want to see the tool i made in detail watch my other video on my channel

[@TailEndCustoms]

Bad ass

[@jevnik542]

This is awesome methid thanks for sharing. PLEASE DONT WORK ON LATHE IN GLOVES OR LONG LOOSE SLEEVES. I know of people in my town that god hurt badly. One ripped arm in shoulder, and two broken fists. Lathe will catch your glove and it wont just slip off

[@MBWchannel]

I was thinking that too. It made me cringe.

[@albapor1]

salut, quelle tour fraiseuse avez vous ? est il précis ect ? elle n'as pas l'air très puissante

[@raymonddemers3768]

Bonjour J'ai une smithys de base juste pour mes petit travaux

[@markmauzey9488]

thats so cool! to you tig weld a base to it or something? btw, don't wear gloves on a lathe or mill!

[@raymonddemers3768]

+Mr. 250f yes i weld it to another pipe

[@raymonddemers3768]

it's simple bearing grease

[@raymonddemers3768]

the tube I bought direct from vibrant performance

[@raymonddemers3768]

hi silk no i am not a machinist just a hobbyist having fun week-end time and building myself an air intake for my car (See my other video) this is why i did it and no i don't do it for other i have to much work with my company and don't have the time as for the machine i use a smithy's it is not expensive and it's a 3 in 1 it does lathe mill and drill

[@raymonddemers3768]

Bonjour je suis vraiment désolé du délai je suis trop occupé en ce moment ,j'utilise un simple torche a soudé

[@TheMightyPong]

Great video, but for the love of all that is holy... TAKE OFF THE GLOVES. Even a "little" lathe like that one can twist your arm off in less time than it takes to realize what is happening. Safety lesson aside, can you post a picture of what the tool you used looks like? Maybe just a shot of that on your bench?

[@raymonddemers3768]

TheGuyThatDoesStuff lesson learned, if you go on my you tube channel the video intake manifold part i show the tool

[@TheMightyPong]

Raymond Demers Very cool, thanks!

[@chuyagaming1294]

on the video, what materials are used?

[@raymonddemers3768]

hi 1.5mm tick aluminum tube

[@chuyagaming1294]

Thanks mister..

[@ImMrHonda4u]

This is fucking awesome! how thick of a matterial did you use?

[@raymonddemers3768]

Hi the thickness is 0.065

[@raymonddemers3768]

Hi Chris in order to be successful is used vibrant performance 2 in aluminum tubing for this if it is to tick it won't work and no less than 1/2 inch radius if you want to be successful it is metal spinning and i didn't invent anything here there is plenty of video on the net about metal spinning let me know if you are successful with the new tube . best regards

[@tonymarcuso]

Bonjour Raymond, tres belle realisation. Tu fais encore ce type de cornet ?, j'ai un Kawasaki avec des carbus cvk et ils necessitent un adaptateur pour que les cornets se fixent. Tu es de quelle region de France ?

[@Intc1]

My succsess was ony 1 velocity stack but not that big wot i need ;). But i will try soon agan. Tube wot i use is out45mm thickness3mm inside39mm.

[@raymonddemers3768]

hello you need to speed up your lathe and heat it up with the yellow propane tank the other type of propane does not have the temp required to do this also my tube was .065 thick and the radius was max 1/2 inch best regards,

[@mikeduwe]

Yellow is MAP gas, burns hotter than propane

[@MsSossego]

Salut Raymond , sympa ta video , beau boulot . Par contre juste un truc , tu fais peur avec ce genre de gants sur un tour , si vraiment tu tiens a en mettre choisis des gants plus moulants . @+

[@2001pulsar]

Hello Raymond. Did you finish the manifold? does it go good?

[@baazigaj9125]

what lathe is that?

[@raymonddemers3768]

it's a smithy's 3 in 12

[@raymonddemers3768]

you're welcome

[@Gsrsourkrause]

So it's been 5 years....do you still have both hands?

[@bendavtx]

Raymond, that is beautiful work. Would you be so kind as to show a pic or video of the forming tool?

[@raymonddemers3768]

it's a lot of thickness to move i am not shure it can be done

[@raymonddemers3768]

it is 1.5mm thick

[@elliottwatt9902]

Wearing gloves is how the lathe tears off hands... just saying. Overall, Sweet way to make velocity stacks though.

[@JohnBoulding]

If you don't ditch the gloves, one day you won't need them....l

[@raymonddemers3768]

I am sorry it was not my intention to sell this i did this for my car manifold

[@raymonddemers3768]

Aluminum c'est du 6061

[@jasonretamar2849]

Can you make me 6 please

[@raymonddemers3768]

I am sorry many people ask me this but i really don't have the time to do this

[@raymonddemers3768]

i put my machine almost to max 1200rpm

[@ricpudney4201]

can you make me 3

[@raymonddemers3768]

Hi I'm sorry no I cannot thank you

[@MrMikecole71]

Do you still have all your digits since the making of this video? I have watched people lose fingers more than once by wearing gloves while working with machinery. I guess you don't know the ins and outs of machine safety. leave the gloves off when making anything on that machine. Very nice video, though.

[@blueonblueracingnova]

very cool vid but please stop wearing those gloves . that machine will pull you in in a flash

[@raymonddemers3768]

Hi Simon yes i did and i will post this week the last part of the intake build up and two more video one for the fuel pump install witch gave me trouble and the last video will be the dyno session.I can't wait it as been a years now without my car this was not funny and i really want to see how much hp it will produce i am shooting for a minimum of 350hp witch would be disappointing my real goal is 400+ as for now i am driving the car with a very safe tune no vetch no cam angle like 0 degree with a gas that is 1 year old and it run very well only the dyno will tell me how much it does but after 500 km i didn't come back on a tow truck loll

[@linearburn8838]

how much would you charge me for 4 of them?

[@raymonddemers3768]

I am Sorry but i did it only for meself

[@marksolheim6188]

Get those Gloves off before you loose your fingers of hand!!!

[@marksolheim6188]

I do not want this guy making anything for me.

[@MattBerrymotorsport]

because he wears gloves? lol
