Thank You Glenn.
You're welcome. And thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Heck yeah!!! I've only started cleaning my rotary table. Seeing one in use definitely helps in showing its capabilities. Making brackets is closer to what I'll use mine for than some of the other videos I have seen.
I agree, heck yeah!!! That was a fun video to make. And, using my rotary table did it for me. Thanks for watching.
Always new information I can use. Bravo, Hulkster!
Thank you Doc. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The quick jobs are fun and easy.
Just gave that Lathe away.🙂. I hope the young man I gave it to enjoys it.
@GlennNowOnRUclips I would have loved it my shop Hulkster!
Good Saturday Morning!!! Another "Quick and Dirty job."
Good Morning to you too, Sir. That old Lathe was fun to run. I'll miss it. Just gave it to a young man last week. His first lathe. Thanks for watching.
No matter the lathe even if it is a bit crappy you can still use a bit of ingenuity and apply some crafty methods to make it perform........better a lathe than no lathe at all. On the topic of the head bearings most probably they are just deep groove radial bearings so they will slacken off and you'll get some vibration.......I doubt you can fit taper rollers bearings or angular contacts as they don't come with seals or any method to preload them.......stay with the same ones on it and you'll get a few years out of it without too much stripping down and massive rebuild like others have had to do.
I have had this crappy little lathe for over 20 years. It has always gotten the job done. As far as the spindle bearings go. After changing them out for tapered roller bearings and setting the preload with a .0005 test indicator I took the original bearings apart only to find standard ball bearings. If you are interested, go to my channel and find my video " Steel Gears and Tapered roller bearings " I thought it was a pretty good video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I did a tread mill motor and Amazon controller. I love the infinite speed is a great feature.
Sounds interesting. No doubt you are very mechanically inclined. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Glenn, I like the second option for the variable speed unit. Also I have a couple power tools; tablesaw and old wood lathe that the motor pivots, so as you adjust blade for tablesaw the motor kind of rocks and uses gravity for tension on the belts. Doesn't use the entire weight of the motor, if you imagine hinged at bottom and center of motor is 1/3 back from hinge motor.😊
I kind of decided how I was going to mount the variable speed unit. Having a pivot point and a way to lock it in after setting the proper tension. I'm still undecided about the motor. I have a video coming out in two weeks. Saturday, making the variable speed pivot bracket. That would be 9/7/24. Thanks for watching.
It has been tough to get much done all summer for me as well. I chuckled a good bit about this one!!!
I'm glad you found it funny. I just uploaded a real video showing some progress on the Big Motor Upgrade project and should be out next weekend. Have a great week and thanks for being part of and commenting on my channel.
Yessir!... Always life gets in the way of "important" projects. Amazing work (engineering) as usual Hulkster!
Thanks Doc, I have a couple of videos finished and posted that will be coming out on this project soon. But you're right, Life can get in the way if you let it. Thanks again for watching.
Glenn which tool post are you running? Thanks
Hello, I'm using a quick change tool post that I purchased at The littlemachineshop.com . Not to bad and a good price 👍.
is there a part number for the bearings Thanks.
I ordered the bearings from Amazon. Here's the Info I used when I ordered mine. 30206 Taper Roller Wheel Bearings 30 x 62 x 17.25 The brand was VXB. I just googled that info and my old Amazon order came up. Good luck with your project.
@@GlennNowOnRUclips Thankyou Sir.
Good Stuff Thankyou
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊.
Music was great
Thank you.
Very Very cool! Where there’s a will, There’s a way..
Thank you. You are exactly right. I wanted it, so I made it. That project was lots of fun.
Really nice
Thank you very much. It was a fun project.
Nice one!!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's been hard to get out to the shop lately, with temperatures around 100 degrees. This video was put together with footage I ran across on my computer. I have, managed to put together another Big Motor Upgrade video that will be out soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@GlennNowOnRUclips I heard that!! I got out there this week, even in the 80s with 80 percent humidity it's a challenge.
The weather has really been weird lately, here in Colorado. Although it has been Hot and Dry for the last few weeks, Now the last couple of days it has been Cold and Rainy. Crazy Weather.
Great job, Hulkster. I thought WAS cast iron. You certainly achieved the antique shop look.
Thanks Doc, That project was easier than I thought it was going to be. Had fun doing it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice!!! How much clearance would you like to see on the bushing to shaft on something like that? I think that is one of the things I struggle with on moving parts is proper fitment. Great video!!!!
On this job I was thinking about .002 clearance. That gives some room for oil. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Until next time.
Thanks as always. I have telescoping gauges, but I didn't know the proper use.
Good morning Doc. Its always good to know the proper way to do something. Gald I could help.😊
Nice work sir
Thank you, I like running that old lathe. It's a 1953 Logan, I was born in 1951. I was 2 years old when that machine was built. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@GlennNowOnRUclips You are welcome
Nice!!!!
Thanks, That was just a quicky lathe job. But, Next Week, Another Big Motor Upgrade Video.
That's a MAN LATHE. (I'm afraid 😨). Lol. My shop has only mini-lathe space.
I like running that old junk lathe every once in a while. Paid $350 for it 20 years ago. Thanks for watching Doc.
once you remvoe the old motor, your gonna hjave to make a steel insert spacer to keep the bed from flexing. that is a big issues with these mini lathes. they flex the bed a lot. i am working on mine to build a custom spacer that can fit with the origional motor i have (mine is a figgerent model but still flexes too) so it will remove the flexing.
Thanks for the advice. Take some pictures when you build the spacer and post them on RUclips. I subscribed to you so I will get to see your work when you post.
Excellent video
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Like the upgrades, good series of videos. I did this but with a 4" chuck and adapter. I found plugging the unused holes in the adapter plate with some steel, really helped balance things better. I think it was around 800 RPM or so things were jumping a bit. Probably work even better had I used similar materials to fill in the space.
That all sounds like good advice, I need to do the same. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice!!!! Looking forward to more on the big motor upgrade and seeing the results!
Thanks, I have more Big Motor Upgrade coming. I think about 2 weeks.
Great work, Hulkster. The big motor should swing that monster. Little Machine Shop is an excellent source for novices like me.
Thanks Doc. I have more Big Motor Upgrade videos coming in a couple of weeks and some fast and dirty Quicky videos also. Until next time Enjoy.
Nice square up. Gotta love the head-blow hammer (HFT?).
Thanks Mike, And Yes the deadblow hammer is from HFT, where else 😆
@@GlennNowOnRUclips have you seen the ICON ball peen dead blow hammer 🔨?
@@slingerssecretlaboratory No, I haven't. From HFT ?
@GlennNowOnRUclips Yessir, it great for working soft metals (copper, brass, etc). I think I'm sensing a review video 🤔
@@slingerssecretlaboratory It sounds like my type of video. Go for it.🙂
Nice tutorial Glenn!!! Most videos give an idea how to that, but you explained the hows and whys. Have a great week!!!
Thanks for watching. Hope you had a great 4th. Until next time, Enjoy 😉
You and I had the same idea. I built mine out of PVC pipe fittings for $22. and at todays prices at Lowes, it ain't bad.
Yep, Smart people think alike. 🤔 lol.
Great method as usual. But, I expected a shop made broze bushing?
Thanks Doc.👍
Nice!!! I'll have to remember that one!!!
The price is right too. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Would it be possible to make piston rings on a mini lathe, the originals are cast iron I believe, the piston OD is 65.95mm and the thickness of the rings is 1.48mm, I was wondering if I could turn down bore out a piece of cast iron bar stock and then part off the the rings, I have no lathe or any idea if this is even possible Thanks
Sure, its possible. With the right type of cast iron the right tooling/fixtures precision measuring instruments and a way to heat treat the finished product. But as far as doing it on a mini lathe. Why not? Yes, it depends on who is running the machine.
@@GlennNowOnRUclips Thanks Glen, I will get myself a mini lathe, All the best fella 👍
@@BillSikes. All the luck to you.
Glenn, What’s that old Chinese expression…something like measure gauge blocks twice, cut once….measure gauge blocks once, cut twice!!! We all do it, don’t we???!!!
Hello Bob, As far as that saying goes. This video was kind of a test. You know, like, how ture is that saying. I think that from now on I will start being a little more careful. Thanks for watching
Nice!!!!
Thanks.
As always, I learned much from your content. Always best to double check. I have stickers up all over my workshop that say "slow down - check your steps - be sure of your work"
Thanks Doc, As a Shop Manager I was forever telling the young Guys & Gals to slow down and you will get the job done sooner and most likely Right the first time. It took me 5 trys to make that little bushing. Of course I was in a hurry to do some yard work. At the last minute I decide to use some of what I filmed. It appeared so funny during editing. Anyway, I'm glad you got something outof my video. Thanks for watching Mike.
@@GlennNowOnRUclips Yessir, "slow and steady wins the race"
Very nice work sir. Sometimes the simplest part gives you the most greave. Nicely executed
Thank You, I'm glad you enjoyed my video.
Hey! I noticed you used a gauge block instead of a pin this time😂 I like the idea of using a grooved belt a opposed to a v belt since it will grab better. Also I was surprised to see you face the part to length first instead of doing the grooves and id work first and parting it off complete. I guess if the material was too short for it in the first place then it makes sense. I was watching and immediately thought "he's going to have to mount that on a mandrel." But I was prepared to be surprised since I definitely don't know everything and there is always "another way to skin a cat."
Hey Joe, To think about doing that pulley complete on that little lathe scared me. That little chuck could only hold on to about 1/2" . And because I felt the video was going to be about putting in the grooves, on the pulley. I decided to use an arber and gauge blocks for accuracy. I think that I would have approached the job differently if I was using a larger machine. After 50 some years in a machine shop There is one thing I learned. There is no one right way to make a part. And that all depends on who you're talking to. Its good to hear from you Joe. Have a great weekend. 👍
Oh goodness! I'm glad I retired. I'm so busy now I Don have time for a job!
I can't agree with you more. Retired and Loveing it.
@@GlennNowOnRUclips ☺️
Quite a project my friend
You're not kidding Doc. But I'm having fun doing it. Doing the work, filming and editing all while going on vacations spending time with my wife my adult children and my grandchildren. Being retired can really exhaust a person. Thanks for watching Mike.
Hey! It's looking pretty awesome man! The motor is literally half the size of the machine😂. Also the variable speed drive is a pretty ingenious idea as long as it holds the torque properly. I was expecting you to go old school with belt and pulley ratios. I was caught off guard by a mechanical set up for fully variable speeds. Keep up the good work! P.S. Catching up on some videos. Just noticed you have some drill/ratio conversion charts hanging. I was impressed for some reason because all of my charts are about the size of two business cards side by side. Ha ha!
Hey Joe, I'm really having fun with this video series. A few more videos and we will see how well it all works out. The charts, I've been collecting them ever since I've been 15 years old. Almost 60 years. Most tool supply companies have them as advertisement. Get on line , fine their email and ask for one. Thats what I have done. I probably have 50 or more charts. But its the old ones I like. Hey, thanks for watching and commenting.
@@GlennNowOnRUclips Oh, that's pretty neat. Sometimes the tool guys and customers drop of random things like mouse pads and coasters along with occasional donuts and what not. I figured maybe it was something like that. I'll have to check more into it now that I know. Thanks man!
Does that have the rigidity for a more powerful motor ? I have an Asian 12x36 lathe , it’s really not bad, and has a 2 hp motor . But the lathe doesn’t have nearly enough rigidly to use the full 2 hp. Under heavy cuts , the motor doesn’t really strain, but the tool post flexes much .
In an earlier video I rebuilt the carriage. Then I did a video changing out the spindle bearings. I put in tapered roller bearings.I also changed out all the gears with steel ones. I guess the answer too your question would be No, not with out a lot of work. The next thing most likely will be the Tool post. But, I am having fun doing this as a hobby. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@GlennNowOnRUclips you might try filling the entire bed with epoxy granite . There’s a good number of RUclips’s where they filled Chinese machine tools with epoxy granite and yielded amazing improvement to rigidity .
I'll look into that. Sounds interesting. Thanks.
Thanks
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 😀.
Sweet,nice piece of work.
Thanks, glad you like it. I've got a lot more on this upgrade. I'm trying to only use parts I have or can find in the shop. I thought that would turn into a lot more hobby machining videos, trying to make things fit and work.
Nice!!! One more part done!!!
Not to many more to go. I hope. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Could be worth mentioning if you don’t get your punch mark exactly on your crosshairs (happens often) you can repunch at an angle to move the mark over to where you want it.
Had to do that the other day. Completely missed the mark and had to move the punch mark. You know it might even be worth it's own video. Thanks for watching and a great video idea.
Hey You Tuber! I do all my work on site, my tools carried in pockets or a pouch. I would love to be able to do it in a shop as I was taught in high school shop classes. It is possible to drill holes in metal with 1/4" bits without center punching and not have them wander, but it's much slower than changing out the bit, tedious, and it's very hard to keep the drill square with the work during a prolonged operation. I do what you did - using a hand held drill - with a few enhancements. I use an automatic center punch, and when metal is harder than aluminum, I'll use cooling fluid (carried in a small squeeze dropper bottle).
Sounds like you know what you're doing. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video. I like this method. Does the stop serve a purpose that im missing?
Thanks, Not many people use this method. The purpose of the stop is to locate the position of the material in the vise. CNC machines are programed from a X0 Y0 coordinates. Everytime I removed the part from the vise I would lose position of that part. I had to keep resetting the Z0 or Z axis zero because of the height difference. Plus as a Aerospace Machinist you are taught to alway set a stop as part of your setup.
What are your thoughts on automatic (spring-loaded center punches?
I have one. Very easy to use. But, I don't use it much. Back in the day, 30 years as a Tool and Die Maker I punched and drilled a lot of holes. It's like 2nd nature to just use a spot punch. Maybe I'll do a video on the automatic spring punch. Thanks for watching Doc.
