Machining A New Tailstock Nut | Lion Lathe Restoration

[@nyala4996]

To answer your question about what I think, as a newbie I watch a lot of machining videos to try to learn something. It helps if I know what you are making, its features, and what you are trying to accomplish. Insight into what you are doing and why helps me learn the nuances of machining. All-in-all, I very much enjoy your videos and look forward to see something new each week. Thank you.

Absolutely thanks

Happy days Kyle, thoroughly enjoying this series, nicely done buddy, thanks for sharing

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Absolutely

3:06 Cast Iron is a nice material, to use for the final cut off for that worn blade :)

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Indeed

[@matiastripaldi406]

Congrats, build is looking great so far and I'm sure it'll be a pleasure to use the machine when it's finished

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yes I can’t wait

[@TheGold3nRatio]

I love watching cast iron get machined It's so satisfying.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Indeed he is

What a great video, thank you for explaining why do do what you do and for providing the sheet you used for your calculations.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

You're very welcome!

"There is no con in making it longer" is true, but there also is no gain. In a threaded connection the first 3.5 threads bear approximately 90% of the load. Using different materials for shaft and nut can exacerbate that condition due to different elastic properties. No threaded engagement bears along the entire threaded length due to a number of variables such as the needed backlash, machine wear or being at high limit on one part and low limit on its mating surface. I have enjoyed this series on the tailstock project. Too many YT machinists cut corners when it doesn't affect the outcome, which is fine but I appreciate your attention to function and form. Cheers

Where have you found that about the nut? I’m not familiar with that.

[@ypaulbrown]

thank you Kyle so much, your channel is so great to watch...Paul

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Glad you like it Paul.

Really enjoy the videos on the Tailstock build. Keep up the good work and Be Safe!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks, will do!

Thank you

Very nice job Kyle. Should work great.

Excellent explanation of the tye thread dimension calculations. Thanks.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carlhitchon1009]

Really nice work.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thank you very much!

[@strykerjones8842]

I really hope that pressing the nut in place doesn’t deform the internal dimensions. It’s such a nice fit that would be very frustrating.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

It didn’t

[@strykerjones8842]

@@VanoverMachineAndRepair Awesome! I’m really enjoying your channel, you do excellent work.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

@@strykerjones8842 I appreciate it

Enjoying the build. Looks really nice.

Thanks Greg

Now that's a chuck key!

Excellent video. Very interesting work.

great job

Thank you

[@piteralvarado1028]

Buenos días amigo esa reparación va muy bien? Una sugerencia porque no la fabricó de bronce es mucho mejor SAE 65 ? Es un material muy bueno para la fricción y por qué Nolo hiso rosca izquierda 👍👍

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Cast iron was factory so I went w factory

[@kurb0311]

Notice your tool height adjuster and nut at 8:10?

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yes, I see it do. It was adjusted from a previous tool. I put a smaller bar in it so I raised it

[@doug3458]

A minor correction, if the original was a metric thread it was not ACME, it was trapezoidal, the angles are different. ACME only refers to American imperial threads, not ISO metric.

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yeah your right

[@stevechambers9166]

Very nice

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Thanks

[@michaelcothran4064]

Often when doing internal righthand thread I set the compound in reverse to bring the threading to lead forward, so my compound is away from the chuck

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Yeah that works too

[@SuperJaXXas]

The nuts!

[@VanoverMachineAndRepair]

Indeed

Send me the copies of those threading cheat sheets when you get a chance.
