Fixing up the woodlathe toolrest

[@johncuckow4733]

Nice tip for using threaded rod to start threading. Not seen that before. Thx.

[@richardmeyer418]

Yes, it's like he tricked the die to just keep on rotating and before it realised it was biting metal it was already halfway there ... *joke* but that is what it looked like.

[@Rolingmetal]

Probably saw it somewhere else on youtube :)

[@robertlewis4666]

Now that is a really sneaky idea, I LOVE IT! Using a treaded rod to start and guide the die. Nice one!

[@Rolingmetal]

I probably saw it on youtube :)

[@crazyfeller5704]

In the states we would call that a shoulder bolt. As an example, the hollow bolts that hold brake caliper hoses are called banjo bolts.

[@Rolingmetal]

I know what you're talking about, we call those banjo bolts as well. The name is a bit confusing for me, as it is also a musical instrument :)

[@qcnck2776]

These "little jobs" are so satisfying!

[@Rolingmetal]

absolutely.

[@HansFormerlyTraffer]

Thanks for posting...I really enjoy your videos.

[@Rolingmetal]

They say a 1000 real fans is all it takes to have some success on youtube :)

[@craigtate5930]

"Drawer of lost treasures" lol. Nice fix. I have so many of these sorts of projects in the months/years ahead. Its almost like I bought these machines just so I could fix them, not to actually build useful things with them. Lol

[@Rolingmetal]

I know what you mean :)

[@multiHappyHacker]

Nice work, another success to add to the collection.

[@Rolingmetal]

Sometimes it happens :)

[@RepLicanT00100]

Threading idea …! BRILLIANT

[@rowandunn2403]

That was pretty clever using the all thread to line up the die I’ll have to remember that

[@Rolingmetal]

It might even work better if you turn a 60 degree point on it :)

[@pgs8597]

G’day Rolli, hey that spanner is still in the drawer, it too has become a lost treasure. Cheers Peter

[@Rolingmetal]

You noticed that :) I can be some clumsy these days. I forget things all the time after I had that little brain fart last winter, it is somewhat frustrating!

[@RagsdaleCreek]

When i have a piece push in the chuck like that i cut back toward the tailstock. Good recovery! God bless Stay safe

[@SeanBZA]

Next time you have a high strength bolt to turn down detemper it first, by heating to bright cherry red and allowing to cool slowly. Gets the stress and work hardened area out from the rolled thread area, making machining easier. Simple afterwards to harden it again by heating to bright cherry and dropping in old oil, then heating to dull red and allowing to cool slowly to temper it again. Bonus is the oil quench leaves a black oxide layer on, which accepts oil well and is relatively hard wearing.

[@Rolingmetal]

I think the problem was a bad insert that wasn't shimmed properly.

[@autumn5592]

After hardening it, heating it to red causes it to anneal. You only need a spring temper on it, about 500°f/300°c. Carbide will cut hardened steel no problem, it's fine.

[@danielabbey7726]

Great example of using the metal lathe to fix other machines. Those hardened bolts can be really tough on carbide inserts.

[@Rolingmetal]

I think the insert was placed to low and probably on it's way out.

[@chrisleech1565]

Nice editing and V.O. Surprising how many camera set ups are involved on the road to the Plum Tree Bowl :-)

[@Rolingmetal]

Yeah, progress is rather slow. But I got time :)

[@anonymousgeorge4321]

Nicely done.

[@johnstrange6799]

Major improvement. It's good to have a lathe!

[@Rolingmetal]

More important then a mill :)

[@hopper1]

Nice little project.

[@Rolingmetal]

another little nuisance fixed :)

[@fredcreer1929]

Surely it is time to name the chuck backstop Boris!.

[@driveheronman4304]

Nice fix👍

[@Rolingmetal]

Thanks 👍

[@MechanicVoronov1988]

👍👍👍

3:39, 5:24, This is exactly the horror show I come here to watch. And look at the end, it even works!

[@law-ofohms7815]

Have you ever considered releasing a music album of VFD noise? I’d buy one!

[@Rolingmetal]

not really. But you are free to rip the audio and use it in you fight with the neighbours :)

[@bustednuckles2]

Yep, another keeper. Learned something new when you used the All Thread as a bridge to start the 10mm threads straight

[@Rolingmetal]

Tun a 50 degree point on it and it might work even better, I think.

[@profzen1]

Nice

[@therealspixycat]

Again succes!

[@Rolingmetal]

klein succesje en een probleempje minder :)

[@jmtx.]

Amazing how many distractions there are on your way to getting a simple bowl.

[@Rolingmetal]

There is not a lot of progress and the blanks are still waiting underwater.

[@mantaszmenskis5619]

don't smoosh threads
