HGWS 2: My lathe needs some balls | Making a radius turning tool.
Просмотров 17 тыс.4 года назад
My Atlas/Craftsman lathe is missing the ball on the end of the tailstock clamp handle. In this episode I made a radius turning attachment that mounts to the cross slide to allow me to make a replacement.

HGWS 1: Adding some BLING to my Maker Knife | DIY 24K Gold Electroplating
Просмотров 1774 года назад
I decided to try to add some bling to my Maker Knife by electroplating it in 24K gold. First we disassembly the knife and identify what parts we can plate. A strike plate of nickle is applied to the steel components, followed by brush plating with 24K gold.

Just found your channel and Subscribed. Very nice machines.
Nope. Sorry. Craftsman. My bad.
Looks like a Southbend heavy 10.
Why not make the carbide replaceable like on the tool holders by using a screw and instead opting to braze?
POOR SOUND
I have made 3 of the radius tools so far for use on my lathe. Two are the open "C" type, the other same idea as yours that mounts to the tool post plate, using a Timken bearing between surfaces to eliminate chatter when taking larger cuts. I think after you use yours more, especially if you ever turn steel materials will place a longer handle on the turning apparatus to keep the hot chips off, and your hand not so near the turning object. Also I found it quicker, more accurate and easier to thread the initial end you started with on the lathe, then I use a mandrel as you threaded the other piece of stock. I have mandrels made for popular thread sizes to save time, as I'm sure you will save the one you made for future projects. These tools are tons of fun! Thanks for getting into the set-up, centering etc. Most vides just show the ball being cut, leaving out the only important part-setup. Thanks for the video.
I watched this again and am not understanding why you chose to braze the carbide insert other than drill and tap so it can be changed or turned to another point? With patience the holder drills and taps easy for the appropriate insert retaining screw.
Good work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
This is a fantastic design, I have a Boxford lathe which is more or less a copy of your Atlas, or a South Bend, I like the design, and plan to do this utilizing the spigot on the cross slide like you have. unless I'm reading it wrong, looks like you could have cut both sides of the ball at one setting, but hey you did great, many thanks, Dave
Thanks for the video. Is it me or does the side float around inside the channel?
Really nicely done
Thank you - that was very interesting.
Very welcome
I have been trying anodising all week aswell , nice work!
Thanks! Keeping the part clean and solidly connected were the keys for me. Good luck with your project.
Hey saw your channel on Reddit, great content! I'm restoring a few classic motor bikes and want to get into nickel plating myself any tips on that solution would be ace!
The plating solution was pretty simple to make, Distilled white vinegar from the grocery store with pinch of salt, some pure nickel metal either from Amazon or eBay as both the anode and cathode (positive and negative leads) and 6-12 volts until the solution turns a nice green color. This video was also very helpful: ruclips.net/video/G-PtnwtOR24/видео.html
I like using the drill press vise to get the job done. Ingenuity is great in the shop. I think you could have used the vise that was already on the mill. It looks like the jaws can be swapped to the outside on that vise. Good video!
You might be right, I'll check.Thanks for the tips!
Great job, I like how the tool turned out and goes to show you don't have to have the biggest equipment to accomplish anything
In the immortal words of Michael Scott, "That's what she said." 🤭
@@thehalfgarageworkshop4358 no truer words have ever been spoken LOL
I would suggest you might try to slow your speaking just a bit
Thanks. I'll try to keep that in mind.
Hey! I talk fast, in life I found that people who talk fast usually work fast.
Nice. What grade stock did you use and where did you source it?
I used stock from scraps that I had on hand. The aluminum for the base and rotor is 6061. The tool holder was a mild steel, probably A36 or 1018. Both came from the drop bin at my local steel yard.
Funny how one job turns into three!
Nice video. Looks like you could use a stouter portable band saw stand😉
No doubt. It's on my list of future projects.
Awesome work! One question I did have is why braze the insert on instead of drilling/tapping a hole for it?
I didn't have the correct size metric tap on hand in the shop for the screws that came with the cheap set of insert tools I was cannibalizing. I probably could have used a different size, but I wanted to give silver soldering/brazing a try. .
Great statement. What do you do when it needs changing? Plus you ae unable to rotate the cutter to another fresh edge. I spend the extra time, and hold my breath while I drill & tap all of my tool holders for the carbide inserts.
Nice job! I like it! 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
that will be fun when you have to change insert
Please make more
