Tie Rod | CNC Lathe Machining | Threading

Fascinating! I have no idea where these will end up, but they'll outlive all of us.

Oh you would be surprised. Idiot proof something and the village just makes a better idiot.

Reminds me of the roll stand bolts we used to make back in the day. Made them on a 60's vintage monarch engine lathe. Loved doing those! Excellent work on that tie rod!

Beautiful, strong, accurate parts, as always. I find it very frustrating to see all these nice parts and not know how they're used. Thx.

Well, that makes two of us, cause most of the time I don't even know where they are going.

[@andrewtetley3883]

Just brilliant Chris as always you have some serious skills my friend!!! I have been wondering if you could do a video, maybe a short?, on how you get the 3 jaw into the 4 jaw and clock it up?? I suspect it is a little awkward with the gaps of the jaws and chuck key holes.

[@ChrisMaj]

I'll look into it.

Yes we did.

Please, could you upload a couple of videos on how to mount and center long pieces like that? I'm a manual machining and a fan of yours, I don't miss any video... regards.

[@qualified_monkey8813]

I'm pretty sure that they often mill shaft faces clean and center drill them on a HBM.

[@jst6757]

@@qualified_monkey8813 We do it like that on bigger parts. On smaller parts we clamp a chuck on the end an drill the center with a cordless drill and a guide bushing through the chuck.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

You can also use a tail stock mounted chuck & machine a steady rest band , then you can do any machining on the end .

[@ChrisMaj]

​@@qualified_monkey8813 This is the correct answer 👍

[@uvk99]

Did you have to set the tool geometry each time, ? It looked like the same tool post position each time. Maybe that was down to the diameter of the work piece..

[@markshutt6000]

Looked like a fun project! What was the total cycle time on one of those?

[@ChrisMaj]

We don't really keep the time records. Just finish the job and get it out the door.

[@АлександрКарев-ь1о]

how many interchangeable plates were used to make such a large shaft?

[@Duet3D]

Странно. Углубления резца при нарезании резьбы происходит без смещения на угол резьбы?

I have no experience with the rolling balancers in the centre of the bar, how much weight can they hold, or this one in particular anyway?

[@willyharris4199]

@@ChrisMaj The support in the middle

[@RumpLeINtiLINsKinnIN]

Chris, is that an attachment on your micrometer when you were measuring over the wires? If so, where did you get it? I do a lot of large threads, and anything over 4 threads per inch i have to measure over a parallel on top of the wires and subtract the thickness of the parallel to get my measurement. works just fine, just a little clumsy trying to hold all that. Would be nice to have a micrometer like the one in your video. Thanks for posting

[@ChrisMaj]

Yeah, it's an Anvil Attachment kit. I think there's 5 pieces. I got it years ago but it looks something like this 7 PC Micrometer Tip Anvil Attachment Set Precision Ground a.co/d/bg3DvhN

Hey Chris just curious what brand inserts do you guys get at the shop?

[@ChrisMaj]

Mostly kennametal and korloy and whatever they can get for cheap.

[@pippy4658]

Love watching your vids but would it be possible for you to put what the metals are and not just the material codes cause I'd love to fully understand what the metals are and for what jobs you use them for, same goes for the inserts, cnmg999999 just looks like a cheat code for street fighter 🤣 would be cool if you could add the descriptions and would help people learn better. Thanks

[@ChrisMaj]

Quick Google search will give you all the information you need about any material and same thing goes for the inserts.

[@ahugo765]

why not use a full form threading insert? they always work great for me. less deburring and alot cleaner thread imo.

[@ShainAndrews]

I can think of many reasons... but rather than go down that path. The core question is what kind of work are you comparing to his? Material, thread type, etc.

[@kw2519]

Because he does all kinds of custom threads all the time. Single point is the way to go with this stuff, plus tool pressure can be an issue.

[@akulawien1975]

For me too,but if you have a Pitch over 3mm,it is not so funny.....

look up tungaloy TurnTenFeed if you wanna speed up the roughing ;)

[@mattiasarvidsson8522]

and the groove can be done fast with an adaptive toolpath with round insert

[@ChrisMaj]

They might be OK for smaller diameters, high rpm. My lathe maxes out at 630 rpm and the down side is that you need second tool for 90° shoulder.
