This Bolt is Broken... I Make a New One! Machining Left-Hand Thread

In this video I'm making a custom bolt with a thread on each end. One of the thread is a regular M16 thread and the other one is a left-hand M16 thread. In the center there's a 24mm hexagon. This part is used to adjust the distance between two parts which are used for a foot pedal on a machine. As both threads are pretty big to cut with dies I decided to turn them on the lathe. I was lucky that I was able to loan both thread gauge rings from a local company. This made the thread turning to the correct size a lot easier. For rust protection I decided to do hot bluing on the bolt. On the two blue parts I only had to recut the threads.
I hope you like my work and the video.

Would you have thought, only a few times ago, that filming yourself machining a screw on a lathe could achieve 100,000 views in 1 day? I will be curious to know how many people who are not at all from the industrial sector you have been able to attract there thanks to your high quality restorations ... especially nowadays in this world where everything is only computer, digital, virtual, easy, fast... It is a pleasure to see you mastering the techniques of drawing (respect for the thread symbol), machining, dimensional control (a no-go threaded gauge? no need, thanks ;) For your lathe, a French proverb says: "it is in old pots that we make the best soups": keep it as much as possible!

[@FOG2006]

Will the next restoration project be your 60-year old lathe? This would be a nice saga.

[@warbirdwf]

The best part for me of your restoration video's is when you use the lathe and milling machine. You should do more videos of just making parts on them. It would also be interesting to know what metal you're using when you make a part. Example, are you using 4140 steel? You really do beautiful work, especially on that 60 YO lathe.

[@generaldisarray]

Outstanding work, as always. It's a pleasure to watch you work. I think your chatter issue is purely down to the fact that the HSS cutter is trying to cut on three faces at the same time, and is binding, as you move further into the work. If you had some relief, either on the work piece or the tool, or used a smaller round nose cutter to created the valley in multiple passes, it would eliminate the binding/chatter.

[@mymechanicsinsights]

It has relief on all sides, it was just too big and the lathe too much wear.

[@therealdojj]

Always wondered how you cut threads on a lathe, can you do a video explaining the system please? Thanks 👍

[@DILLIGAF65]

I have worked on and rebuilt many older manual lathes,some from the 1940s, as far as the chatter goes (start with simple cheap solutions,work up to expensive ones), the first thing I would check is the cross slide gib,it may seem tight but even if there's a little play in it,when you start your cut it can drop the cutting edge of your tool below center causing chatter. I would also check the same on the carriage,it's always good to check the play on all the moving parts with gibs in them at least on a yearly basis.

[@mymechanicsinsights]

Great advise!! I'll check that, thanks

[@DILLIGAF65]

@@mymechanicsinsights Hopefully it's not your spindle bearings, bearings are fairly cheap but replacing them can be a pain in the rear sometimes. I have watched many (if not all) of your videos and know chatter has not been an issue before that I have seen so it kinda gives you a clue that something is worn or has just moved out of tolerance. Although a spindle brake comes in handy, with older machines it's just not worth the cost in my opinion. If it is a spindle bearing issue I would first check your endplay and runout,maybe it's something as simple as the lock-nut being a little loose. I know I seem to be going on over something as simple as chatter but with a machine that's almost 60 years old it could be something that needs attention now before it gets worse.

[@passthrujr5]

@@Tombsar you don’t. We make them at work all the time. Rough turned in annealed material, then hard turned after heat treat to spec. There’s no reason to grind a thread gauge for average tolerance threads. There’s some super special grinding equipment for doing very tight tolerance gauges but it’s definitely not a surface grinder…. They are mostly CNC tool and gauge grinders made for that specific purpose. But yes. You can absolutely make standard gauges on a lathe, even a clapped out manual lathe if you know what you’re doing.

[@nit-Inundate]

Should you be quenching in a glass container? Wouldn't the temperatures break the glass?

[@Tombsar]

I worried about that. Maybe it's borosilicate glass? Very resistant to thermal stress.

[@mymechanicsinsights]

Well, you saw that it didn't break ;-) It's just normal glass

[@Deweyfd13]

The amount of oil is enough that the temperature of the part will dissipate all its heat energy long before the glass can get any significant amount of heat applied to it. No risk of it breaking with what he is doing.

[@AcmeRestorations]

He's only heating it to like 600F to turn it black. Which doesn't require quenching at all. To harden steel you have to get up to 1400F and then quench it fast. And when you quench hardened steel, you need a LOT more oil than he is using. This is only for show. All he did was make the part oily. Beautiful machining, but this part is just nonsense.

[@xTheZapper]

If someone like Abomb or This Old Tony was making that they'd probably use a 4 jaw chuck, it always seemed like a massive pain to me but apparently the reason being that 3 jaws don't always centre properly, so when you flip the piece over the two ends might not perfectly align. This obviously seemed to come out fine, but would you use a 4 jaw if tolerances were really tight?

[@mymechanicsinsights]

3 jaws are running true in around 0.3mm max. But you can always center it perfectly with a few light hits with the nylon hammer and dial indicator. I think the 4 jaw is an american thing. I have never seen anyone in real life clamping a normal round part in a four jaw, only on youtube.
