I know you are just doing a “hey Man” job but I know I’m not the only one who would love to see you put that drop piece of tubing in your hardness tester and see what the actual rC is.
Great fun, Adam! As a science type, I love to find excuses to measure something. How useful would a hardness test be, especially in a few different spots? I suspect that with all sorts of exotic machinery being manufactured these days, a lot of rather funky steel alloys might be mixing into people's scrap metal bins.
I miss this kind of content so much. I love this real manual machining and love your knowledge but more so the way you explain every aspect of what you’re doing and your thought process.
I am sure I am not the only home shop amateur that gets some satisfaction watching a PRO struggle as much as we do !!! Love watching you manual work, it's absolutely the best !
Pro lol
Always fun working with a mystery material. Add to that an unknown insert. Nothing like stacking the deck against yourself. I enjoy your CNC learning, but I enjoy manual machining better. Thanks for sharing.
This is the OG abom kind of videos I like!
Adam, thank you for showing the screw ups. I learn a lot when you show the adversity and difficulty of the problem. So many channels don't show this kinda stuff. In the real world difficulties will be encountered so showing them is critical.
Those are the kind of videos I like.
No fancy stuff, just real world scenario.
I'm a machinist myself and I felt little less alone by watching this video cause it shows what most of us have to do every single day.
Solving other people problems by having to have more problems
I know CNC is a game changer but this traditional machining is far more interesting to me. But then I prefer steam engines to diesel or electric.
Abom I know how you fill i was a tool and diemaker and machinest for 40years.. 83 years old now. i whatch all of your
.love them. keep sending. vidios.
This video right here is the kind of stuff that will keep me coming back to watch your videos! Thanks for such an interesting video...
Like a good old fashioned SNS. Just missing the old wooden bench. 🙂
Great video, Adam, I learned a bucketload. Thank you for the lessons in perseverance and troubleshooting! All the best!
Great stuff, old school machining. Love it.
Awesome a man who takes pride in his work takes pride in himself
Still love watching you work on stuff thanks for sharing from uk
I love how you got more pissed about the inserts fouling the finish than you did about losing the screw from your hook rule. Sparks flying. Great episode!
Just love these manual machining operations...🤘
Great to see a SNS after a long while! And a great ome too.
Wasn't really an SNS without showing viewer mail and tools from his father/grandfather or flea market finds.
Definitely enjoyed the video. Thanks as always for the good filming.
Good content Adam! Keep it coming. As others have mentioned as well, I'm definitely partial to the manual work but I also understand the need to have CNC capability in today's world.
Thanks for the show Adam 🍻
You did good Adam. Yes I did enjoy your videos and as usual thanks
I used to transport heavy walled tubing like that, to various companies in England and Scotland, the ones in England were typically JCB Depots for hydraulic rams, the ones to Scotland were for Oil Rig drilling tubes, I begged a few bits for home, they welded well and certainly machined well too.
thanks for adding the sound the saw makes. It helps hoby machinist like me.
Since I’m a professional video watcher, I’ll say you did a fine job!! Love watching you work Adam!!! Nice job!
Good manual lathe!
Thanks for posting these videos. Even though I'm not in the trade there is still knowledge here that crosses over!
Way back in the day I used to make hooks and chains for GM. We cut 1 inch hot roll to length then forged them into hooks. The hot roll started having hard spots. Literally hunks of carbon in the rod. Had to use an abrasive saw to cut.
Hi Adam, greeting from "across the pond". Congratulations on an absolutely superb bit of turning and problems solving. Commentary "just the right amount", (short and to the point), with plenty of good working input. Lovely to see some classic turning again!.
Abom, you have answered several questions that i have had in this one video, Thanks.
Nice job work video. Thanks Adam
Best Abom Video In Ages!!!
WOW! Frustrating day at the lathe. Thanks for showing me how to recover from this.
THIS is quality ABomb material!
We got all these expert machinists up in the comments yo
Great video, Adam! Nice job.
Good to see a job where you make the best of not-so-great starting conditions. And I always enjoy seeing manual work when it makes sense. 👍
Great video Adam. Glad you did some more manual machining that is what made your channel. Hope to see more. THANK YOU. PS. keep on doing your bbq.
Nice one! Thank you abom79, getting it done!
Amazing machining. Excelent video, thank you
Questionable Material Steel vs Abom with a carbide blade...yeah...I am backing carbide here, nothing beats carbide!
I had a feeling you'd bump it in another 5 thou. Good job.
My eyeball sez that stuff was machining like a 4140HT in the lower Rockwell C range, or something similar. No forgiveness but always finishing beautifully. Decent carbon and alloy content, not enough hardness. Gooey. Prayers to the guy who has to weld it.
heh heh heh 😉
Looks like my chips from my Amazon special inserts lol. I’m just a hobbyist so I buy the cheap ones because I can never remember how to read the packs and which one I left on last. I remember you did videos on that a few years ago, but if I remember right I feel like you left out a couple things. I could also be a dummy though. The way that’s stringing up reminds me of stainless. Maybe he ran his saw to fast.
Great work. It,s always good to meany strings to your bow. Well done.
Nice and clean 😊
Best regards from Greece

I use a casting cutoff blade that is special made for cutting castings ,they work great on stuff like that, i have been using one for over two years and use it just for tough stuff.
Years ago I asked a machnists while making cuts in angle iron some sections took twice as long to cut thru. Told me angle iron is mostly recycled steel and anything goes into the steel furnace .
Bed frames. They are the worst.
Rebar is the worst.
That alternate/extra ending was a nice touch.
good job Adam
Abom, I need that 6ft fan you got there for my 11x14ft room. It's hot and humid in NJ today. NJ is like FL but with slightly less humidity and slightly less bugs. lol
Adam "I am not one to tell somebody what they're doing wrong" well said. After all there is no need for you to do that, you have all the expert commentators below to tell everyone and anyone what is going wrong. LOL
He's been around a lot of journeyman machinists all his career and has learned not to presume he knows better. He knows there's often hidden information and something new to learn.
That PM TL-1660 is one sweet lathe....I hope you find that tiny Starrett screw during the clean up phase.
Fascinating. Chocked full of great information.
Test for Hardness on the waste end of the one with saw cuts in it. Maybe wrong shop. On the bandsaw carbide did it. How about a skip tooth or dual pitch - fine and wide gullet. I bet scrap steel and has bearing races that melted in to make the alloy harder.
Thank you for sharing with us. Just right across the state line in Mobile.
Greetings from England big man. I've been watching the channel for years and i don't think I've seen you this frustrated! Or as close to frustrated as you get, possibly the most laid back guy on yt. 😎
I am a factory Iscar Rep in Southern IN/Kentucky. IC8250 is a great all around turning grade. Have you been able to try any of our newer F3P and M3P chip formers? They are great for chip control depending on your application. Your area Rep should be able to get you some samples. If not, please let me know and I will send you some! I love watching your videos!
I've run into plenty of hard spots in A36/A500 or equivalent, I've taken to calling it "mystery steel." It's often recycled material and if they threw in too much high carbon steel it'll do this. They're usually small spots though, just enough to peel off 3-4 teeth. I'm thinking it really is just a lemon batch, something like too many leaf springs in the brick of crushed cars they melted down for it.
awesome video
that mystery metal your buddy supplied you to be used as weld on 90mm pin bosses is probably some form of stress proof material....
Its unreal that blade isn't even deflecting all over the place. Love the look of a hefty, laser sharp cut of hardened steel !
Classic SNS. Love it!
This is the kind of Abom we come for. Thanks, Adam!
Right tool for the right job
Adam, you might (this is just a suggestion) want to find a cheap and slooow cordless drill and hook it to your compound feed. It makes for easy smooth long compound cuts.
I think he likes to 'feel' the cuts. He's been doing this a very long time, and can do some very nice and smooth manual movements.
That welding shop is a good source of weird problems and show content.
Good Job, keep up the good work.....
Oh man no kidding that carbide tipped band saw blade is screechy 😖, I could hear it way over here at the California Oregon border! 😂👍
If you still can, please do a hardness test on the steel. I know nothing about machining besides what I've watched and seen, but to my musical ear that sound was off from a normal lathe work. There was like a high pitched ding in there and normally when watching and listening machining the cutting sounds constant (as one would believe a material be that's all the same composition). I'd like to see the hardness from both OD and the cut itself, just because curiosity.
Had that issue on a CAT machine trying to drill on some places. There were pretty soft spots, but also extremely hard spots. We're also having that lately on raw material as well on remelted steel.
Still well done job. Patience is the key and persistence.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice initial break in.
Something that I saw and wasn't sure if you'd run into it. The hydraulic/air feed on these saws have a place where they drop when they are sitting on the stop. I usually had to push the saw back up to it's full height, and then let it go. This worked when the saw was set to cut a heavy feed rate so that it wouldn't crash the blade. Basically it would preload the hydraulic/air cylinder to keep it from dropping the blade onto the part. Kept me from chewing up blades and still cut fast.
we cant get 4140 hollow bar here in Aus but even at that it would still cut easy on a bandsaw. interesting to see what happens when it trying to be welded ?
That chip is telling a story. I'd like to see a follow up from joe about how that welds out.
Hopefully they use a rather high preheat and wrap it up to slow cool. What material do you think it might be?
@@davidbennett288For me it's definitely an alloy steel this surface finish is not mild steel finish
@@tristansimonin1376 that's my take. I've seen that before were some alloys will work harden in a blink of an eye. *Effectively* not mild. No idea why though.
@@evil16v1 yes and with a carbide saw there is no problem to cut hard steel
From the looks of them chips I’d say that’s harder than you average mild steel. And it doesn’t finish out like that for me at least. Looks like some good material for some adapter plates or flanges. I hope it welds up alright.
That's what I'd call making sheet metal the hard way!
With as hard as that was to cut, it might have been worth while to toss it in a 500 degree F oven for a few hours to anneal it some.
I've had to do that with some cheap stainless that I've had to turn before.
I came to say the same thing ie try annealing it 👍
Having machined enough boiler tubes over the years like stainless, low alloy, medium, and high alloy carbon steel, this material almost looked like it could be 9 chrome. Giant pain in the butt!
No fun to stick weld either.... it's like welding mud and so much smoke you can't see a darn thing.
Good vid. interesting see not perfect stuff and ways to sort it.
This is the kind of stuff that finds me. The chaos ensues. 😅
First time I have seen ABOM stressed and understandably.
Reminds me of something I made from an alloyed tool steel (I think something with chrom and molybdenum), it also produced a lot of blue stringy chips. It only started to behave once I got to smaller diameters with higher stepover and lower surface speed (I only have a small benchtop lathe).
We have been turning a ton of tubing at our shop lately and you usually have to drop the sfm by like 40% and up the feed on that tubing and it still won't break the chip well
Another in the books!
I've worked with enough recycled steel to learn that unless it's certified to be a particular grade, there are both ridiculously soft spots and then, there are some hard spots that will ruin multiple brand new drill bits within seconds. I imagine the same is true for cutting blades.
That cuts like 4140 tubing. I always run atleast .014" feed for roughing to get chip control.
Anybody think Adam went to the welding shop and gave them the business for their band saw work?!?! 😂
Counterfeit blades? Seriously the number of knock offs in every market, including materials like titanium is scary.
Great stuff!
The need to leave a proper finish can be appreciated as somebody who loves machining things (I’m not a machinist) but, as a welder, there comes a time when it’s disheartening to weld something so beautiful in place…. Just knowing it’s going to be destroyed when the equipment starts getting used. Kinda like watching a veterinarian examine cattle leaving his Rolex on without gloves. Lol
Most excellent.
The cut from the other bandsaw was not cut straight it took you several passes to straighten it out they might have a alignment issue
I wonder if they put the blade on backwards
No. You’d have to flip it inside out which would be almost impossible with that size blade.
You should use high magnification to look at the insert to see what effect that steel had on it compared to what you normally use. It would be interesting to see.
😢 You could get a saw blade welder for the shop and save some money.
Enjoyed the show and keep em coming.
we have been getting lousy 1018, really ductile wont break a chip. finish is great but its giving us a ton of grief with our iscar dr drills not breaking a chip, which normally cut great with fantastic chip control. we think its metallurgical, low sulfur and high aluminum content seems to be a recurring theme in the stuff that wont break a chip, the "good" stuff is high sulfur and nearly no aluminum
Your work is the best. Have you ever seen the lathe work from Pakistan? After seeing your work, I don't know how they survive doing work on big rigs, axels, splines and so forth!
UF is a finishing chip breaker.. you need either UG for general or UR for roughing
