NOP - Making a mess 1 of 3!

[@InTheShedUK]

I have one of those lathes, best upgrade I made was to fit a 3 phase motor, inverter and variable speed control, no need to mess about with belts & pulleys, you can get any drilling speed you want. Also changed the tool post and added a tacho.

So let me get this right you have to look to the left and down to see the Speedo REALLY! Seams like a accident waiting to happen I like to look forward as that my direction of travel.

[@the.just.able.biker67]

If anything you'd have it down on the right side. As you're looking down your peripheral vision would be more likely to see oncoming traffic. I bet these brackets that are for sale are on the left hand side because they drive on the wrong side on America.

[@Honkawsuzyamal]

50 years ago I had a trials bike with the speedometer attached to the front engine mounting and even then it was an inconvenience on a slow and light bike that was never ridden in traffic. This is just another example of Dangerous Del's shenanigans

[@Ryan.90]

@@the.just.able.biker67 Probably, funny was talking to a mate who lives in rural Illinois a bit back, He was saying where he is there aren't really static speed cameras and on the freeway, basically you have to be proper taking the piss to get pulled over. Also pretty sure in a lot of states, a speeding fine is like a parking fine over here, you hand over the money and that's the end of it. Totally different culture...

[@JAMESWUERTELE]

@@Ryan.90depends. Most states you either gain or lose points on your license. The key is to not draw attention to yourself. No loud exhausts, no bright colors, stay out of groups. I live in CO, and they are not very nice to sport bikes speeding. I have taken my own advice and I have a matte black Honda 1000RR, stock exhaust, and keep to myself.

[@greggbrassett6989]

He’s gone on about not buying a speedo mount and saving money by making one, but he already had clip ons that he made collars for, and he actually put them on the bike, and then he spent a shit load on some more that don’t look or perform any different. I can’t afford to save money somewhere just to spend more than I have to elsewhere. I have to save it everywhere.

[@simon2knine]

I am thinking that drilling out the thread was an afterthought, Betting that he had already tried the screw and found it wasn't clamping up. I love watching the master of metal at work. 🤔

[@bikehubjapan]

Your face when he says easy and not difficult....GOLD

[@lancefawcett1809]

if I was really pedantic, and I am, I would point out that dangerous del doesn't use the master pinion when tightening and loosening the 3 jaw chuck, as indicated by the red roundel on the face of the chuck. the master pinion is also identified by a 0 stamped into the outer diameter of the chuck, using the master pinion to tighten the jaws reduces eccentricity of the workpiece considerably.

[@allanhughes7859]

I am only going to say this once more You and Del in the same room would be equal to top gear How friggin cool would that be once you got over the hurdle of not liking each other !!!!!! gap !!!!!!

[@jompazx1272]

One difference between counterboring with endmill and proper counterbore is you get a flat bottom with a counterbore. An endmill has a small relief angle towards center so it leaves a "convex" kone, most of the time this fine, for example if it's just for a bolt head. But in some applications you might need a flat bottom.

[@malcomyoung7637]

Flat bottom girls make the world go round, so they tell me

[@dirtygarageguy]

It depends on the profile, if you use an end mill or a slotting drill...

I like the image in my mind of machining steel with a banana, I think it was back in the 60s I was watching the Christmas lectures and the linear motor was being demonstrated, Prof Laithwait had an aluminium carriage on the motor holding a stick of lard. On pushing the button the lard shot down the motor and through a plank of wood nice neat hole So with today's technology we must be able to make machine tools from fruit Keep up the good work

I can't believe he machined the bolt head. Now, if someone loses that bolt, they'll have no way of reattaching the speedo. The true definition of NOP!

[@motorcyclegarage2307]

I will send Dell a fine tip permanent marker, it's always give or take a millimeter

I love that. 1 guy creating things another one produced words about that. In reality, clamp is working. That could produce a damage on a threads but that joint is low-operational. Since a pretty high vibrations over there you can get much more counter this way. But mainly - it's working.

[@dirtygarageguy]

It's working? When did you test it?

[@StanislavRedkey]

​@@dirtygarageguy i have a several similar clamps .. and its a simple physics why should we doubt it? Btw any of silentblocks cant prevent this from jiggling around(on a rigid sportster) it will just add more fluctuations to it. Hardmounted "instruments" shaking is more pleasantly at least on my mirrors.

Why on the fork? I'd imagine it'd be making things unbalanced. Im pretty sure the actual Harley ones clamp to the frame off the left side.

[@glynlewis3024]

If you want to learn the secret as to why Del only uses one speed when drilling or lathe turning go back to "Day 58 Hayabusa cafe racer exhaust fitted". In it and I quote "I hear machinists say 400 is about ideal for drilling stainless"; so diameter of drill is obviously of no consideration whatsoever. Basic stuff really DOH!

[@dirtygarageguy]

Lmao

[@do6604]

‘Big Orange Country’ - referring to Tennessee Volunteers college football team. There’s no Orange County in TN!

[@sidwainhouse]

I've recently machined out 90mm nylon for a Smiths speedo, that stuff is a nob to machine, I'd love to see del work with that stuff. Best thing I've bought for the lathe was indexable carbide tools, so much easier to work with. It's really hard to change speed on those Clarke lathes, the lever can be really difficult to move unlike the Myford where you simply have to move the belt... And would it not be a 3/8" socket on a Harley???

[@PRB1098]

Part 2/3 is even worse/better, I'm not even sue it'll make it to part 3/3 before it snaps off, if by some miracle it does he better have a van on hand to take it to the MOT or the vibration of a solid mount skirtster will see it bouncing off down the road

When del work on the lathe, Perfection is made. 🤣 Same goes for Files, welder, etc. 35:17 Didn't he say that the speedo was in perfect condition and not needing any panting in the previous panting video? Now he wants to strip it? Planning ahead as always 38:05 That's Stan, del even replied but no pinned, he was scared of offending the others 😂

[@ianwright40]

You know the result is going to be shite when you see a lathe then a welder, then a grinder. Now Corporal Jones could make this look great, but Delboi is not in the same league.

[@metalmad89]

When you paused on the lathe (explaining cutting fluid) there's bronze looking strips under the tool, my question is, is that normal or would it being presumably a soft material make an otherwise precision tool a bit less precise?

[@nauroticdax]

They are shims used to adjust the tool height so you are cutting on centre (typically there is a bit more to it than that but that's getting into rake angle and different materials) generally speaking brass is fine for tool shims because it's all under compression when you tighten the tool down, the tooling itself and the lathe not being bolted to something sturdy and leveled are way bigger concerns than using brass for shims.

[@cliveadams7629]

[@stevenhoman2253]

Glad you're back, Matt. The other reason he showed the plate, at the start, was to prove he has friends who can write. Oh, by the way, I thought you were wearing a yarmulke for a minute, then you turned right, and they were sunnies, same difference to me, but I laughed. On hardness, shoe leather will wear through stone (given time) but I wouldn't cut stone with a leather bit. Del is still shining through, though, as usual.

[@iang2204]

It seems only the ignorant (of engineering principles) actually watch his vids and comment afterwards,and to them anything they don't know elevates Del in their eyes. The old thing about 'In the land of the blind the eyed man is king' syndrome. I certainly don't claim to know it all but after a lifetime in precision engineering a lot of the things he does make me cringe,it's not only the half a*sed way he goes about things but I can see an accident ahead if he carries on. Hopefully he'll listen to someone before it happens as I wouldn't like to see him blinded or maimed by his lack of knowledge,certainly an exploding abrasive wheel or disc is not a pretty sight.

But where he falls short IMO is teaching his bad ways, some of which are potentially hazardous. He has had no formal training gets out of bed one day and decides I'm going to be a mechanical lecturer. He is a charlaton or a modern day snake oil salesman. He was actually as proud as a peacock with that bracket so much so you would think he had reinvented the wheel. A blind cobbler could of done a better job.
