[@adriankadzielawa4368]

Jerry Please read!! Min 5:00 I work in a machine shop, and I worked with many many lathes, and the way you have your bar sticking out of the machine so much it's super dangerous. That bar with the speed that is turning it could easily whip itself out. Because of all the forces I have seen so many accidents where a bar bends while spinning and then all hell breaks loose, the machine will start jumping and if the piece will break off it will be flying so fast thru the shop that it could harm someone really bad. It happened in my shop, thankfully the piece went in the direction of the wall and just made a hole in a brick wall. So please just use caution, and I do agree with you It's one of the most dangerous machines there.

[@Dodo-kk7mb]

Exactly what I've thought. 5:40 2500 rpm with a brass rod sticking out that much is very very dangerous!

[@AndyGneiss]

What would you do to mitigate the issue? Have a roller support for the bar stock?

[@the_undead]

That is literally what these machines are designed for. They are designed for mass manufacturing. Anything that needs to be manufactured on a lathe, from what I know, a rod of aluminum like that should be able to stick out at least 5 ft without issue

[@the_undead]

​@@AndyGneissif the bar stock is over a certain length i'm pretty sure it's 5 ft or so then this is what you do for safety reasons. But having that bar stock sticking out like 4 ft isn't going to do anything because it's actually not going anywhere not with the amount of force that it's being clamped down with, the support is more because once you start getting really long bar stock the weight can be a problem

[@Brendan706]

Yeah that is incredibly dangerous. I've personally seen a bar sticking out like that bend 90 degrees and damn near destroy the lathe. It was a much more robust Mori Seiki too. That was a massive no no.

[@Dracula.25]

[@sovannv]

Ive been machining for 15 years. If you're worried about the part flying out. Remember if youre part is more than 4x's the length it might start to chatter. 6x's than you might want to utilize tailstock. 10xs than you might want to use what haas calls ssv along with tailstock. Ive also heard it called solizoidal machining. Sometimes you can get away without using tailstock by instead of using hard jaws, use soft jaws you bored out to same diameter of what you are holding. Keep your tools sharp because. If you're sticking it out way too long that extra pressure on that leverage will pull out your part. Also different materials vary on how much you can get away with cutting long

[@rafaelcbfc99]

What a trip in memory lane. My dad used to program one of those machines to make bolts and washers for my grandpas factory, when I was a kid I would simply go there watch the machine cut the metal bars and the weird smells of soldering on the other stations. Thanks Zack for the memories and congrats on your company!

[@georgiyaninski]

We used to operate manual lathes in 9th and 10th grade, making door hinges and other small details at a technical school here in my country. Was hell of an interesting thing to learn and when we were later introduced the programable ones we felt like we were in a spaceship. Still feel like a kid when I watch these kinds of videos.

[@littlejackalo5326]

​@@NAS-nr1yzLOL. Parts can be helped by a tiny section of the jaws. Hard jaws biting into soft metal. You can grip stock with very little of the jaw length.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. As someone who ran production on a Tormach lathe for years, I’d try and keep your through spindle bar stock to 24”. I know you’re not spinning it that fast, at least for the portion shown in the video, but as soon as something bends the stock you have hanging out of it, it can lead to a bad day.

I'm a machinest and I honestly feel alot more comfortable operating a CNC lathe than a CNC mill and feels easier to program for but yeah a manual lathe however is definitely something you gotta be more cautious on.

[@colefoster9280]

I work in a factory with CNC lathes much bigger than this one, they can be very dangerous if used wrong so make sure you always use the door interlock and maybe look at getting something to cover the end of your bar that sticks out of the machine, I don't know if they make a mini bar feeder or something for that sized lathe but it would be worth looking into.

[@tormachinc]

[@AfolSam]

Lathes are most definitely one of the scariest tools I've used. I went to college for mechanical engineering and was familiar with lathes prior. A kid I never spoke to in college was not paying enough attention. It took his ring finger and enough nerves he lost total control of his arm. Tools are fun, but they need to be respected.

[@da9elb]

Looking reeeally nice, Jerry - nice machine and parts. I bet you can run quite more aggresive in terms of cut depth, feed and surface speed for a more efficient cycle. Aluminum likes bigger depths of cut and higher feed when roughing. This creates a shorter chip as it breaks a way more easily.

[@americansmark]

For me, the table saw has always been the most terrifying. I've been mule kicked a few times from either bad technique or a dull blade causing kickback. I had the opportunity to use a sawstop years ago. While I liked it, it made me feel complacent with my safety, so I have stuck with my Ryobi since and just used material locks and push bars while staying out of the way.

I converted a small bench top lathe to full CNC with relative ease. The parts to convert it cost around £300 in total including the controller. Couldnt be happier with what this small beast can do. It cuts so much nicer than operating it manually because you are not exerting a leverage force via the wheels. Its crazy what you can get in a small workshop these days.
