Watching your work is like taking a master class in machining. I own 7 lathes, 3 mills and 2 grinders. The only machining training I have is from YT. I appreciate your willingness to share a lifetime of experience with us wannabe folks!

He seems a great one to learn from. His proper use of tools and no drama demonstration of real world use is full of detail worth emulating. (Except for the bit where he clears swarf with his fingers...while the chuck is turning.)

Very educational, I like you being very accurate and just taking the extra time to get it spot on. The little pro tips along the way are greatly appreciated especially the tip on the snap rings. Great work. Aaron from Canada.

Continental aeroengines found that out the hard way. Quite a few crankshaft balance weights where retained with the circlips in the wrong way. A few engine failures and an airworthiness directive, resulted. Carl, also from Northern Canada.

I learn so much from your vids. The spindle on that import mill sounds like it’s running in the highest quality gravel they had on the floor in the factory :)

Runout (TIR) is excellent for guessing Class C3/electric motor bearings, interference on ID and OD reduces runout, great job, and great addition to the shop Max. Edit. Just looked at your 8 part taper roller tailstock chuck build, YT says I've watched it, cant remember 3 years ago, 40 years maybe. Taken a screenshot of your hand drawing. The world of rolling element bearings is a complicated one. Photography is excellent, honing those video and audio skills 👌. Thanks for sharing.

Several of the KZbin channels have made Chuck tail stocks, but I do like what you’ve done. I am going to rework two of the tail shock shock that I have because they’re more taper number five. I need number four. I agree, having a true adjust chuck. Mine are 4 jaw

This way seemed simpler to make, No spacers to make to set preload or grease seals to install. Thanks Max Cheers.
@thecanadiantradesman7916Ай бұрын
I agree. I have an old used but good trailer axle stub and hub assembly I was going to re-purpose into a rotating tailstock chuck for a decent old 8 inch 3 jaw i have but now I might just do this setup instead. May be easier and a cleaner look in the end as the dust cap on the hub would end up being visible in the chuck center hole. It wouldn't necessarily be in the way and only take up about half the bore depth inside the 8 inch chuck which wouldn't matter for a tailstock chuck but I do like the clean look of the sealed bearings and it seems that they will preform just as well as preloaded taper bearings.

Great video as always. I appreciate the info on the circlet, so many things like that, that I don't know. When you use the spacer like you showed to be able to turn the pipe all the way to the end, I am assuming that, that would be with the chuck jaws on the inside of the pipe??

39:40 the gears on your bedmill are so quite. I had to wear earplugs running mine, even after replacing all the bearings. I finally replaced the gear head with a Bridgeport step-pulley J head, which is almost silent in comparison.

Max, this may be a dumb question, but why did you press the bearing OD into the chuck adapter *and* the MT4 shaft into the bearing ID? I've always thought that either the OD or the ID of bearings should be a "slip fit" with the other diameter being a press fit. Have I been doing this wrong for ~40 years? Or did you press both diameters simply to lessen the possible radial play?
