Great to see Keith getting back to full health slowly
Keith, I know some creators worry viewers will lose interest on the longer videos, but wanted to say that I do enjoy them. Great video once again.
I love a good long video to relax with
I don't even consider this a long video, pretty average. Over an hour can be long but even those I enjoy.
I will def have to agree with you.....I click faster on longer projects than short 5 or 10 min videos.
When restoring a very old machine, do you ever etch a date on replacement parts? I'd find it fascinating to be working on an old machine and know that a part had been replaced at some stage.
Great video Keith. Love the single tooth spline cutter for a one-off job. Guess you really don't have to purchase expensive tooling for every job.
Keith, I really like to watch a start to finish job.
Keith. Thanks for the videos. I learn so much from watching you work. Please don't start making Shorts as I love your video lengths. Its almost meditative to watch
"if youve gone just a little too far with the reamer, you've gone way too far" -- brilliant
Thanks for sharing glad you are healing well and getting back to normal great videos love watching
Great work Keith. A really nice result. It's a joy to watch you working.
Part of me kinda wishes you would have just welded up where the missing tooth was and just recut it. Idk making a new shaft is really cool too. I'm sure it will help someone out a lot! I just always enjoy watching you repair old parts.
You make that look easy. Now, if I just had a shop, a lathe, a radial drill, cutters and reamers, then I'd be good to go. Thanks a ton for a really fun video. I really do appreciate it.
And a lifetime of experience...
being a tight ase and a dole waller in the uk. I think with a steel RSJ a salvaged motor and some basic tools like precision dial, caliper and maglock base and precision square off ebay, I can make a lathe and next a milling machine. Machinery on the cheap so to speak. Hope you can too if money is an object.
Nice video. Looks like somebody was there before.👍👍👍👍👍
I'm in the process of watching all your videos - even the ones from nine years ago (I do like steam trains!).
I'm partial to the Cumbres & Toltec Railroad in Colorado - I worked on Locomotive 463 among others, and I've ridden the Georgetown Loop and the Durango & Silverton.
I'm also a subscriber to Pete Larson's "A Few Acres Farm" and Dave Richards steam shop(!) on RUclips.
Time to head for Paypal (or Patreon, or...) :-)
I'm telling you how much to take off... wait for it to cool... then how much too take your finish cut ,thru the whole video....I'm laughing at my self... Funny !!! Cutting like SAE # 4140 by the looks of the finial finish.... Been in the machine Shop since I was 5 Yr old....I'm now 73...You did good !
Good to see you back in action great work
It's nice to see some single cutter work, i kinda avoid it myself on account of the squeak which don't play nice with my tinnitus. 28:56 Awesome work! The mill is one step closer to completion.
The day I build my own mini lathe with mill attachment is the day touch off, face off are burned into my brain like Mr Miagi brainwashed me. Nice!
Keith I agree with you it's not worth sizing a plan milling cutter for just one part. But if you ever feel the need for one I would be happy fix one up for you .Doesn't matter straight or stagger tooth.
I would also sharpened the cutter as well. I wouldn't change you anything for it.
I would do it just because I like your videos. I have done this kind of thing for over fifty years and I am pretty darn good at it.
You might want to make your offer to Keith via his email, as he's stated he doesn't always read the comments.
Well done Keith.
Thanks for the video, Keith, Hope to see you at the Bar-Z. Jon
Grab the top of the tool post and pull it away from the work as you scroll the carrage back and you won't leave those scratches.
Or be like a normal machine operator and back the axis off before moving it back for a new cut.
That only matters on the final cut. By leaving the tool set you’ll know exactly how much to move it for the next pass.
Thanks, Keith!
It’s easy to use the old hole.
Drill and ream a piece of round stock in the lathe to take the appropriate taper pin, tap a pin in and bore a hole through it. Cut the pin to fit the larger hole in the gear just short of the shaft. Now you can drill and ream to fit.
Imo the Swiss cheesed gear is almost as bad as the missing tooth aesthetically.
When you ream a taper pin like he does here you make it easier for the next guy if he has to knock it out. leave the big end outside the part and the small end (the one that you would hit if you want to drive out the pin) inside the part. It's not as pretty looking as having both ends even, but nobody's going to see it most of the time anyway.
KEITH, GREAT JOB, I TRUST YOU ARE DOING BETTER [HOPEFULLY] GREAT VIDEO...SEE YOU WHEN...
Great video Keith, keep'um coming..
Fabulous work, my friend. When you are finished with this, you will be ready to rebuild our steam rail heritage, at the very least.
I love that lucas Carlton arm drill
Thanks Keith
Hiya Keith
Great work
Great job
Thanks for sharing 👍
pretty nice
Thanks for the complete job Keith! I really like the long videos myself, Some of mine are long as well. I comprehend more if I see it all at once. Thumbs up!
Thanks for sharing.
That looks like it feels really nice. Nice!
NICELY done
Keith has the coolest toys.
Another great video Keith! Thank you.
very enjoyable video
Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed.👍
Good evening Keith, time for a coffee and an update 🙂☕
Most excellent.
A complex part that required care and planning. Thank you.
Sure make that look easy. Good job.
Thank!!
thank you Keith
And this why I love this chanel, Thanks
Always amazed how ambitious you are.
The peg hole reamer was very cool. I just did that with an acoustic guitar for the string pins.
Good video
☹🇬🇧
Looks like you have been doing some spindle inspection. 🙂
I'll tell ya', this is the next best thing to being right there with you Keith. I can't tell you how much I miss being in the machine shop. Something I miss the most is my Bull of the Woods calendars. Do you remember those?
Keith has a little book of “Bull of the Woods” cartoons. I know because I sent it to him. Hopefully if he reads this comment he show a few of them in his next video.
@@ellieprice363 That's cool! I never knew it was published as a book. Is it still in print?
@@nobuckle40 Yes, I found mine on eBay. I’m sure it’s a reprint of the original.
Bull of the Woods volume 3 is on eBay for $5.70 with free shipping.
@@ellieprice363 Thanks!
Keith, enjoy your work! But why don't you back of the cutter after reaching the desired length? I always leaves a scratch mark which would be avoided if you retract the tool before going to start (earn 200 dollars)? Simple action with better results (cosmetic at least). Thank you for all of your nice uploads. Best, Job
I didn't see if you took care when drilling the tapered pin hole that the worm gear would align with the shaft it needs to mesh with. In the video it appears as if the worm gear is too close to the casting!
Exactly what I was thinking too.
Keith, would it have been beneficial to heat treat the new shaft in the Hot Shot to make it more resistant to wear? And if you heat treated it, would the dimensions change so much as to require some clean up on the lathe and/or horizontal mill? Thanks, great video!
I wonder this too, after it's hardened does it need a tool post grinder to make precise again?
The dangers of warpage and extra time and labor required to finish is not worth it for a slow turning shaft like this one. Best material would be tough but machinable 4140 which requires no heat treatment.
That was fun to watch. Did that tail stock casting have to be scraped in or was it just fine, I forget.
Hey Keith, nice progress on the project. I have a handle that will match the one you needed for this machine if you are interested let me know.
Keith - you make excellent videos- most excellent. But!! How many rpms are there in a minute?? 👊
Keith, forgive me if I seem inane, but after you finished reaming and checking the pin, did you take it all back apart, remove the shim and clean the metal filings out of the case? Is that something recommended or is the detritus so miniscule as to be no worry?
😀
Looks like the single cutter tool was the same method the original was made, based on the radius next to the spline on the original shaft
Is the wood planer still going?
If you are worried about the part heating up to much and throwing off your dimensions, would flood or mist cooling it help to keep the temperature down?
Hi Keith, glad to see you back at work again. I have a HJORTH lathe and Tool Copany lathe built in Boston Mass as #96.
The ways are quite rough. What can I use to flatten them out without altering the relationship between the center of rotation and the center of the tail stock.? I have not much skill and right now, at least, nothing more than standard grinding stones. I want to recondition this machine. Not necessary for extreme tolerances but reasonabley close would be fine (Yeah, and what is that?)
Another great chapter, thanks for the step by step instruction.
Hope you find your answers and way, If I had them I'd freely give them. All the best.
Good ol' "Back drag the tool across every machined surface" Keith back in the saddle.
The benefits of being a talented amateur. You don’t have to be fully professional. 😜
Lathes + long sleeves make me nervous...🚑👀
whay are you using stainles?
John, not Tamara!
⚙️🔧🚂👍😀
How do you lubricate that shaft?
Nice job. Well done as usual.
Did you get the tail stock with the mill ?
So the tailstock beds dont need scraped to the newly scraped ways Keith???
Does anyone know where to disengage the tailstock travel?
😛😛🦾🦾🦴👍👍👍👍👍
a clapper box would be faster and that my be what they used back in the old days
It was clearly a rotary cutter, you can see the overrun on the original
I recently down graded from 500Mbps to 300Mbps Internet connection and for some reason these video's seem to be playing in a slower mode or at least I hope that is the case and Keith isn't drunk. I didn't think this was possible, Keith drinking maybe but not while working with such dangerous equipment! Someone pleas tell me if the slower Mbps is going to affect voice and Keith's hand slipping off the Crank Handle, 3:14?
Those splines don't feel like the greatest design choice, feels like they will always be a weak spot. I find it amazing though that a single point tool can put up with cutting like that. The forces when it contacts the piece must be enormous.
Not if the feed is slow enough and the "bite" is small enough; then it's just like a normal cutter.
You need more audio volume! crj.
Possibly a dumb question, but it looks like a lathe and a horizontal mill are kind of the same machine, except with a lathe the tool is stationary and with the mill the work piece is stationary. Is it practical/possible to use one machine as both a lathe and a horizontal mill? or am I missing some fundamental difference?
Not the same machines but they compliment each other very well. Lathes and milling machines are the basic machines in every machine shop.
You can mill small parts on a lathe with a milling attachment, and I have a friend who turns small parts on his mill, but you really need one of each for versatility.
I'm glad the lathe has no problems hogging out 100 thousandths at a pass.
I’m curious to know if it is customary in the USA to pronounce the word HEIGHT as if it has an extra H on the end. No criticism, I’m just curious.
Also: How is Turcite pronounced?
No, we don’t pronounce the t in height. “ght” is a sound made by touching the tongue to the back of the upper teeth.
@@ellieprice363 sure, but Keith often pronounces the end of the word like it ends the same as WIDTH or BREADTH
@@grampiangs515 Yes, that’s the way I pronounce height also. Maybe it’s a southern thing.
I don't understand how you can get to 1/7th of a circle since 360 is not evenly divisible by 7.
I have to wonder why the engineers used a design that requires a special cutter or has that particular cutter simply gone out of fashion and is not longer made.
I expect it was common among their range of machines. So some custom tooling just for those cuts was probably fine.
I suspect that there was no 'standard' for milling machine handles back in 1918 when this machine was built. Back then each company was more about standing out on their own design choices and style, in a sense, attempting to 'set' the standards.
My wife said I need to work at my power reaming 😢

He's said before that he needs the HBM to finish it...
@@CraigNeth thx for update!
I've never known keith to give up on anything. Life and challeneges and a pre list of jobs, ect.
Yea!.
Great job
Thanks Keith
