I learned how to make the emery flapper tool many years ago Works good on car wheel cylinders etc THANKS for teaching that to those who haven't seen that !!!

[@Cylon39]

I don't know exactly why, but I could watch this fella all day. I admire the skill... Pure skill. And not bad taste in music on his radio either :-)

[@rotlerin]

Keith you're an absolute joy to watch. I was listening to the headstock noises there and it sounds as if they're needing your expert attention. I guess the spindle bearings are OK though to be able to part-off like that. Lovely machine. I had a Dean Smith and Grace in my company. I don't know whether you've heard of them in the States. But I had a Bridgeport too. Keep going friend. I'm always watchin. Wish I was there with you.

[@Toolmamon]

Man! I love the music you were playing!! That is the same type of music I use to work to when I was working at the tool room before they let us go! Made me feel like if I was there making that part. Great job!!

[@invis648]

You are a true artist. I can't stop watching your videos

[@stevetestchan7139]

+invis648 I know what you mean - this man does indeed make engineering into an art. It's fascinating to watch.

[@chuckthebull]

Besides Mr Pete you are my next favorite machinist... Your work is always top notch and stuff i would never think possible.. a real pro...And thanks for taking the time to make these videos..I learn a great deal and its stuff to put in the mental kit bag when projects and problems comes up..Like "Oh i remember Keith did something like that " Great work Cheers!

[@KeithFenner]

Thank you! ;{)------

[@michaelmcneil4168]

What exactly were you doing?

[@KeithFenner]

They are very good for rose bushes also! ;{)-----

[@KeithFenner]

@huerdon I'm thinking, hows your cooking, I might have a room! LOL...Thanks for the chuckle and the Kudo's.

[@gamingSlasher]

Thanks for your videos. Started watching them lately and I really like your editing and explanations. I must also congratulate you for having such a good radio station to listen too. Perfect background working music. Take care!

[@KeithFenner]

Thanks for the Comment and t your feed on the project! The hoses are supply and return hoses for the Hydraulic tracer attachment on the back side of the lathe carriage...

[@AbraamCookman]

Good video! It's always a pleasure to watch a craftsman work (for me, at least). I really like that old 90 degree dial indicator attachment, and I LOVE your monster hydraulic press! Thanx for sharing :)

[@mdytmhgd]

You sir, are an artist. Long sleeves around a lathe make me REAL nervous though. A trip to the ER is a crappy way to spend a weekend.

[@streetDAOC]

loved the video. other machinists Bullshit around too much and you keep it informative and simple.

[@KeithFenner]

It may of looked long enough, but not really, I have a slight bit of bell mouth in the jaws, loosing grip for hogging, you also would have to subtract the clearence for the part off tool after turning. I just chose the sure thing on the only piece of material on hand for the job...

[@KeithFenner]

Its the prefect timing of building heat within the chips, mostly being surface cooled as they fly through the air and coming to a stop in a gathering pile, of heat brings the final heat color to the suface of the chip...

[@KeithFenner]

@rickcperry I keep up the old shop smell, with sulfer base cutting oil, not stuck on any brands, just has to be the dark grade... I buy it by the five gallon pail, from MSC, last me a bit longer than a year...

[@Goforitmanager]

You know is a good video when you just wanna check out what's all about and end up watching the whole thing. Good stuff right there.

[@twicecustom]

Great Video, I'm in the trade as well. Most people do not know the amount of work goes into fixing things like this. Your flap wheel is great!

[@KeithFenner]

@billdlv I cut the slot with my band saw with a width of .020", when you wrap the paper around the shank, off set the bitter ends so the grit side dominates the working direction, 60 to 80 grit are most faorite, as the grit breaks down on the ends, the finish becomes more gloss, rip the teathered ends off to sharpen or to down size for smaller bores. I think it has 5 or 6 B size belts driving from a 10 Hp motor... Looking forward to it!

[@billdlv]

Keith lots of tips in this one good job. I like the emery wheel I'm going to make one and give it a try. Man that lathe you have has a lot of power, seeing it with that big drill it didn't seem to slow down. Hope to get part 2 on my vid on the jig filmed this weekend.

[@KeithFenner]

@DieselCrawler86 I write on the invoice, As per customers request! following the details of the work requested... There is no way to warranty assembly work done by other, shops or customers. Most out comes are discuss at jobs start.

[@leegenix]

Your own Turn Wright made, flapper tool is really cool. The videos are inspiring me with ideas. I don't remember MacGyver ever saying "Get Her Done" on TV, but you do.

[@KeithFenner]

@Jim911Bo I have a few of them and really can't remember were I got them, aquired boxs or used toolman, but have seen them in the ENCO and MSC catalogs, there not that exspensive...

[@KeithFenner]

Check out my two videos on Press talk Part 1 &2 ;{)------

[@KeithFenner]

Guards to control slinging coolant would hinder the access to all the accessories, like the tracer and it pattern supports.

[@ww321]

Split shaft emery wheel . One of my favorite tools. I got to make me one of those 90deg adapters for my dial indicator. I've never liked telescopic indicators. I use a inside mic and re-measure it. Thanks for the great videos

[@MrMaplesnare]

nice to see that kind of true craftmanship,,keith,,best regards!!

[@amorleyroberts]

Great video, but one of the highlights for me, believe it or not, was the emory trick you have! Nice little trick!

[@badams9854]

Nerves of steel! Beautiful work Keith ;) !

[@KeithFenner]

@SlowEarl1 Thanks Earl,

[@KeithFenner]

Hi Jimmy, yea, when you have enough material to hold and do all four cuts in one set up is the only way to insure a total concentric part! Thanks for the good feed on that subject…

[@KeithFenner]

Thanks for the Comment, welcome aboard!

[@KeithFenner]

Finding the sweet spot in chip flying, sometimes it is a little forward lead angle, but mostly, it is the speed and feed along with the style of bit. sometimes you have to shield the spray like with a throw a way paint brush, held over the bit to deflect bronze or brass spaying chips. ;{)-----

[@ArnoldsDesign]

I like that 90 degree attachment for the travel indicator. I'm gonna have to get one, or make one if I have to.

[@Workshopfriend]

Appreciate the homemade flapper wheel hint. I'll use that! Thanks Keith.

[@KeithFenner]

@kellydklassen Kelly, you hit it right on the nose! My customer, when he picked it up, clued me in. I hear its not a fun job to work on it also...

[@protozee]

Hi Kieth I really enjoy your video, do ever turn the OD drill and bore the ID then cut off the bushing in one set up. thanks Jimmy

[@JosephLorentzen]

Thanks once again in not treating a my question like as if it were from a troll. I appreciate you verifying what I thought.

[@joleenmorganjohn]

Ah Ha! worn jaws. I know how that goes. Very nice videos. I enjoy watching them. Thanks!

[@nekocal]

That was awesome and actually really fun to watch

[@jediatricwalker938]

You own the phrase..."Get'er Done" Legend.

[@catap977]

looks like the one in the chain case of my skid steer, nice fix again

[@williamsantiago7303]

man I love what you do.i wish I could do that kind of work.

[@NOBOX7]

very cool video , loved your thermal expansion reveiw, have you ever used the practice "Interference fitting"

[@ppdan]

Always great music in the background ;)

[@leegenix]

"Love Isn't Always On Time" by TOTO

[@ppdan]

Actually it's "Hold the line" by Toto

[@KeithFenner]

The lathe is real old school and all the gears in the headstock are spur gears and they do make some noise, when I got it I had to make all the replacement bushings for the secondary and main shaft drive shafts, the spindle is the only roller bearing shaft in it! ;{)---

[@nitro105]

I would have been paranoid that if it happened to turn in the chuck and come off the crest of the teeth it could have turned serious, Its not so scary in the small 1/2 lathe I run at our shop but on one with some horse power..... Keep up the great clips.

[@JosephLorentzen]

Similar question: I have a wood lathe. It has morse taper #1 in the tail stock. I need to get a drill chuck. I can get the spindle to adapt to JT1 to JT6. The question is which is best for the wood lathe? I am thinking the JT6 as it looks beefer.

[@LarryBlowers]

personally I think it would be awesome! and be getting alot of knowledge at the same time! for someone wanting to learn this kind of thing theres alot of videos to gain from!

[@KeithFenner]

The best way to make an R-8 or any other collect holder for a lathe is to Machine it in the lathe, itself, fabricate a spindle nose plug that is removable, locks in with spindle thread nut or locks in nose taper built into spindle. Bore center true with slip fit of collect straight shank, and then bore taper with compound that had been dialed in with an R-8 taper beforehand. Make draw bar to suit with flange washer at rear of spindle. A good project to gain experence for you! ;{)---

[@jonnymiskatonic]

That's not a bad radio station. Some Golden Earring, Tubes, Peter Schilling, Tom Petty. I can do without the hootie and that damned paved paradise track, but otherwise not too bad.

[@briandantz4899]

Keith, Pretty wild that that sprocket picked up that close with the dial using the 3 jaw. evenly worn sprocket on an otherwise trashed spindle. nice recovery!

[@MechanicalFinger]

I love the flapper tool excellent Idea. Gotta go make some chips on my lathe now!

[@mckinzi1]

happy holidays to ya Keith people don't realize how long the ol Craftsman lawnmower would last simply by keeping fresh oil in it. dad said the car would run further with dirty gas than it would with dirty oil. just thinking back to the days....

[@lewiemcneely9143]

We've got an 30 year old Craftsman that's still mowing and hauling a firewood buggy. Has a Briggs on is. Smokes some but still fires right up. Had to replace the tranny because the bentonite dried out. Went form a 5 to a 6. I fixed that by taking out the neutral switch and pumping some gunn grease to free it up. It was a Peerless. I got an update from Ex-Mark about pitting a zerk in their 5-speeds. Did it and it still hums even if it was one of the first machines Ex-Mark ever made.

[@rotlerin]

Hi Keith and thanks for the reply. I was interested in what make your lathe is.

[@Abom79]

Great job Keith! Dont forget, its customers who bring us work like that who keeps us busy. I love you press btw, did you build it yourself?

[@Alcigexed]

usually it's not the lathe but it's how you use it and maintain it. Some lathes are better than others but it's up in the air, really depends on who is running it.

[@AlwaysBored123]

That sprocket looks like its off a skidsteer probably a case by the shape and color of the end of the mounting shaft. The holes in the big sprocket suggest its been used hard. There's a parking brake mechanism that locks a pin in one of the holes. Engaging it carelessly is probably why they're chewed up. And the sprocket flopping around with no bearings probably didnt help lol. Sure looks like a good repair though. What are the hoses in the bottom right corner of the screen at 10:00?

[@joleenmorganjohn]

Why did you choose to turn the sleeve between centers? Turning the slug to regester the piece seemed counter productive since the blank was plenty long enough to hold and turn. Just curious why. I would have chose the latter to make the sleeve.

[@MrRander7769]

My flapper tool is just a 6 inch long cotter pin about a 1/4 inch diameter. Put the emery cloth back to back and chuck it up

[@rescobar8572]

Hey Keith, just wanted to say thanks for all your time and effort in sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I've gained a huge amount of knowledge. I remember seeing a video where you opened the gap on the bed of your lathe. Which video was it?

[@mattwilkins1597]

Do you do any welding to repair a hardened shaft so that it can have roller bearings run on it?

[@KeithFenner]

Matt Wilkins I don't do hard facing or center grinding in my shop, but have done a pretty good amount of it at couple shops back in the yards. ;{)-----

[@DanPitrello]

I like the split-nail sander: I especially like out on micro-die grinders.

[@k2s3p]

With reference to 08:38 So why do the metal chips turn gold and then purple? Just curious...

[@kellydklassen]

"...I'm not a tractor mechanic, there's probably some of you out there that know exactly where this goes..." I'm thinking it's the intermediate sprockets in the chain drive for a skidsteer loader. Hydraulic motor drives the big sprocket and the two smaller drive chains that go fore and aft to each wheel hub assembly. Never seen one clean though. Usually they're covered in white gooey oil/water sludge, the access ports never seal right to keep the rain out!

[@guubagaaba8391]

why is it that you don't use the smaller lathe more ???

[@KeithFenner]

I don't have the smaller lathes set up on a ridged base and they are in more crowded space. ;{)-----

[@gorillaau]

Also smaller lathes can be more prone to vibration, especially when removing large amounts of material.

[@bygota]

Excelent job there!

[@doubleboost]

Hi Kieth I really enjoy your videos I have learned a lot from watching you Just one question i noticed tou never use "flood cooling" on your lathe Regards John

[@radio40]

hey you could put your fine cast iron filings to good use if you have evergreen trees just sprinkle them down at the base of the tree and the tree will have greener needles works great

[@stoffes]

how much millimetre is a thau? thou ?

[@Hopeless_and_Forlorn]

"Thou" is short for one thousandth of an inch, approximately 0.0254 mm. "Tenth" means one ten-thousandth of an inch, 0.00254 mm.

[@lezenfilms]

Hey, does anyone know how to keep a shaft from sliding around on bearings without set screws? I was thinking of threadlocker or epoxy, is there a better way? It's a jackshaft for a motor bike that uses small (ish) bearings.

[@KeithFenner]

C - clips with groves machined into shaft, is one way. It is hard to guess without a photo or putting hands on. ;{)-----

[@leegenix]

Wow, I never thought of it.

[@cmans79tr7]

5:31 Now THAT'S a drill bit!

[@DieselCrawler86]

I am going to have to rip off that tip adapter for the indicator, that is a great little idea. So when I machine something like that and the customer says he does not want that shaft replaced I write "NO WARRANTY" right on the work order. How do you handle such things? The reason being for the haters is the marred shaft can cause premature bearing failure, which is not fault of the machine work.

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Nice work!

[@Dicofol1]

Do you ever use anti-seize before reassembly of bearings to make them easier to remove at a later time ?

[@KeithFenner]

Not really, most press fit and don't want to hydro lock the fit. just my thought. ;{)-----

[@stdavross666]

so how much would you charge for that? just wondering

[@gomezpiro]

Keep Learning and good job !

[@KeithFenner]

When it comes to mishaps involving drills and chucks, the stronger or larger mounting shanks survive better! I would go with the largest if your starting with fresh chuck choices! ;{)---

[@EliAngwin]

Love the video's, Thank you for sharing....

[@SlowEarl1]

Nice work man !

[@KeithFenner]

Yes, Thank You! You can see more in my two videos called Press Talk 1 & 2... ;{)-----

[@johnw.peterson4311]

Simply stated, you are the man!

[@guilhermevictor3575]

very good congratulations

[@not2fast4u2c]

I will have to try that !

[@bouchee2007]

i love that press

[@kountrytiger1999]

that looks like chain sprockets on a hay balier ?

[@NotEvenRelevant]

Great soundtrack !

[@soco13466]

Is that sprocket Spacely or Cogswell?

[@papaGrichiIAgusi]

Да!! Золотые руки у мужика!! Есть же люди, умеют из барахла сделать рабочую вещь.

[@thomas.861]

thats looking very good, your a treu craftsman carefull with the lathe haha

[@GoodtimesDJsoundtech]

I agree "Even very skilled, experienced people can develop bad habits". However I believe the rule is (PER OSHA): "Do not allow workers to wear loose clothing or long hair. Loose clothing or long hair can be easily caught up in rotating parts." In the clip you refer too Keith's cuffs are buttoned and the jaws are not "proud" of the chuck.

[@alskdjfhg3712]

that's odd, colchester was a higher end machine so I would expect helical or herringbone gears.

[@barrycass2820]

I guess that would be another way to tell your steel apart for hardness.

[@StevesProjects]

Oh man, you really need a coolant system for that lathe!

[@themainproblem]

That was a great video! How much would a repair like that cost? Greetings from Arizona.

[@joedell71]

ha ha The Tubes "one in a million" playing in the background at 7:42

[@KeithFenner]

This was an example of a interference fit, when assembling the sleeve...

[@redaakifi2518]

the first one has big chenfrein why you machine it and you did not use?

[@deuce217]

Great video Keith, I have a 10 ton enerpac hydro-electric press at my shop. Is that too small for the type of work you do? I was thinking maybe I should find a slightly larger one so I am never stuck with something I cant press. I did some gears last year that were on a small motorcycle and that had my machine about maxed out. What ton press do you use?

[@KeithFenner]

Thanks for the comment, I get into all the details on my press in the two videos; Press Talk 1 & 2 ;{)-----
