I doubt this is the heaviest thing that you have turned but it looks like a massive heavy piece of cast iron. Love seeing how much your lathe can handle in terms of weight or length. The cut depths as well. If I tried .050 on my little lathe it'd stall and blow a fuse. The deepest I have cut in steel has been .025, aluminum .030, and hard plastics .035-.040. I love the kind of work you can do with your equipment and can't wait to see the Bridge Port you have acquired running really well. Thanks for all the content.

Somewhat random, and perhaps a silly question, but I'm catching up on videos, and I notice you put a new four jaw on the Clausing, and it got me wondering: if you were going to fabricate a chuck, could a chuck turn a new chuck of its own dimension? Basically, how much chuck could a lathe chuck chuck?

Hi Keith, the clamping down of the back flange and jacking of the face flange is interesting. you did this to bring the face flange into concentric as much as possible before machining. would the face flange not flex back when the jack is removed causing the machined work on the face flange now to be out of true. I would have thought that the jacking would have been confined to the back flange leaving the face flange to be without distortion.

Hey Keith, when setting your tool, why did you want it to be above center and not ON center? I understand why you were running in reverse so for forward youd want the tool to be a bit below center, but why? Thanks
@bogdan_n5 жыл бұрын
For safety would be the biggest reason. If something bad happens (turning a welded part, or pushing the tool bit too deep, or whatever) and the tool bit gets jammed in the material, it is pushed away from the part being machined (same reason you should only cut a piece of metal with a hand grinder while holding it so that the sparks fly down and towards you. In this case if the disk gets jammed in the piece, the grinder is pushed up and away from you, or at least it's what i've been taught).

Keith, thank you for yet another great video! I'd like to ask you one thing: I aim to remove the angle grinder from my shop because i do not like the mess it makes and how it damages machines such as my lathe and mill with the iron-oxide it creates. Do you have any suggestions as to what tools would work well as a replacement for an angle grinder? Was thinking about tools such as a sabre (reciprocating) saw and band saw but these only cut, they don't replace other uses such as smoothing down surfaces (flap disc or regular thick disc) Would love your suggestions

@jimzivny15547 жыл бұрын
Niels I don't know how your shop is set up but you could use a simple window fan to exhaust the airborne particles as well as curtains, tarps or similar to contain it from the rest of the shop. It's not a perfect solution but for me it's probably a 80% improvement. Just ideas. Replacing the angle grinder these days isn't really an option, we've all gotten accustomed to grabbing it at least once a day.
@93ariebombarie7 жыл бұрын
James, Thank you for your reply. I do have one of those areas, but the shop is set up with the project in the middle and the machines around it. So if I'm building a tubular frame, it will be in the middle of the shop (which is not that large) on a fixture table. Of course I can build a curtain around that but that's not always ideal and requires a fan blowing it, through a channel, outside. These channels tend to get hot and increase the risk of a fire. (this has actually happened at a company where a family member used to work. So in short, I'd prefer alternatives. Now I'm mainly using a sabre saw and high quality files, which takes quite some extra time. If there are no feasible alternatives to an angle grinder, I'll have to change the setup of the shop, which is not preferable. Again, thank you for your input.
