The Jeweler's Lathe Part 4 and a bit: Machining the Tailstock

This is the in depth process I followed to machine the tailstock. The idea behind this video was that I keep saying this whole project is machinable with just manual machines, and then I promptly CNC machined the headstock. This video shows all of the methods I would have used on the headstock, as well as the footage of actually making the tailstock.

Narrated style get my vote.

[@TabletopMachineShop]

Awesome! Thanks for the input!

[@4560123678]

I'm going to vote to keep the narrated style as you give some valuable insight. It's really interesting to know why you are doing something a certain way when the answer isn't so obvious to people who don't do this for a living. Keep up the great work!

Enjoying the narrating. You're doing great.

[@TabletopMachineShop]

Thanks!

I like the narration. You don't ramble unnecessarily, and your explanations make it a lot easier for clueless newbies like myself to learn something.

[@TabletopMachineShop]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

[@tonyhodos2761]

Definitely prefer machining with narration, allows me to pick up the occasional good insight. (I liked the sine bar trick. Good stuff!) Merry Christmas/happy holidays Greg.

Thanks Tony! Merry Christmas!

[@joshwarner5676]

Definitely keep the narration. I like to hear your thought process behind the operations you do. Also definitely looking forward to the next video. Merry Christmas!

Keep talking, I hate no-talk-videos. Thanks for sharing your skills. Educational and entertaining.

[@cnc-ua]

Great progress. Thanks for the update

You can cut the right angle with a saw to reduce the workload..............

Does anodizing increase thickness of the part? What's the typical variation?

[@TabletopMachineShop]

It does by a few microns, so it's not usually a big issue unless its for a super precision fit. Reamed holes can sometimes be a problem.

[@TRUMPLocalWallBuildersUnion]

Tim Le ive seen anodize add anywhere from .0002 to .0025 Depends on the plater and how well they do what they do . I typically send out a sample and. When i get the sample back from plater i usually make adjustments on my end or theirs.

[@koplandavid]

thanks for muting that part :D

[@TabletopMachineShop]

I tried playing with the audio but there was just no way :P

[@daskasspatzle2396]
