Hello everyone. This is the moment! In this film we cut the 1" 5tpi Acme thread in the blank bronze nut that was made in part 7. I hope you enjoy the film. I would like to say an enormous thank you to all the new subscribers. I have had an exponential leap in viewership since part 7 aired. I'm very grateful for all the interest. That said, if you are watching and you are not subscribed, please consider doing so.

Brilliant! And not boring at all.
Cheers, Peter.
Thanks Peter!
A great outcome Carl. I bet you've spent 2 hours running that nut up and down that thread already! The end product was proof of all your prep work.
Thank you so much Tony! Maybe not 2 hours, but I have to confess to more time than was strictly neccesary! I'm pleased with the end result. Thank you very much for watching and commenting, it is very much appreciated!
Nicely done Carl. Looking forward to future content. I have to say I nearly had a stroke when your compressor fired up.
Thank you Dave, very much appreciated. Please have a look at my other films regarding the mill refurbishment and other bits and pieces. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I know what you mean about the compressor.
Hello Carl,
Nicely done... another step forward on getting the Harrison up and running.
Take care.
Paul,,
Thank you so much Paul, it worked a treat. The mill still needs a lot doing but one step at a time. Thank you very much for taking time out to watch and comment. Really appreciated.
Good job Carl!!!
Thanks Danny, I really appreciate it.
Looks great brother.
Thank you Cain, I appreciate it!
Great job!
Thank you very much.
Nice 👍
Couldn't wait, had to watch some of it at work! What a great end product. Absolutely brilliant result . Huge thanks for the shout out too.
Best wishes, Dean.

Love to you and yours.
'Noddy' Checklists and R&D are really worth their weight in the gold. The costs of replacing the stock can be a pain without proper preparation, but any lost time by poor planning can rarely be recovered. Looking forward to Pt 9.
I agree. My background is in aircraft. So I am well versed in checking everything and planning the task well. I would rather spend the money making delrin test parts than destroy an expensive piece of bronze. Despite my age, I've not been married long and recently had my bronze anniversary. It should be a more significant anniversary given the cost of the stuff! Thank you very much for your interest and support. It means a lot.
Another great video Carl, and a excellent result. I’m looking forward to the next instalment of your Mill restoration.
All the best
Thanks Jack. I'm really happy with the result. How is your VFD? Thank you for your continued support, its much appreciated.
@@carlwilson1772 my lathe is finally up and running thanks to your help with the VFD settings.
It’s nice to see your channel is growing. Keep up the great work.
Jack
@@intheshed77a Yes! Really pleased to hear about your lathe! Thank you so much for your kind words my friend.
good job carl
Thank you my friend, very much appreciated.
Nice work Carl!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Laz, much appreciated.
hi carl , ive been getting caught up with your mill restoration project episodes over the past few evenings , great work so far and thee acme nut has turned out spot on by the looks of the fitment at end of video . i bet you were a happy man to get this process completed. slow and steady wins the race.
Thanks mate. Yes I was very happy with the result.
Very nice Carl! It seems to be the 1st Law of video that always something passes in front of the camera, or a plane goes over, of somebody starts to dig the road up. The intro on my next vid took 27 takes (that's genuine).
I am glad it isn't just me. I really need to work on some of the camera angles on the lathe, they are just shocking. I have a few ideas to improve it. Onwards and upwards. The nut came out very well indeed, I am very pleased with it. Thank you very much for your interest and support, hugely appreciated.
Well done Carl, great result. It sounded horrendous but I am sure the camera was picking up on the cutting noise. Your compressor kicking in just about put me in hospital lol. Cheers, Jon
Thank you very much Jon. Yes, the sound had me on tenterhooks to begin with. I decided to stick with the 2.5 thou depth of cut and see what happened. Despite the awful noise, after a few passes it was apparent that the tool was cutting a decent thread and leaving a good finish. Even if the audible clues suggested otherwise. My chief concern was that I would end up with a chip jamming in the cut. Hence blowing through with air after each pass and using the cutting oil. The bronze cuts well dry, as you know. I think though that in this instance it's use was justified. Even if only because it caused the chips to coalesce and sit in a lump at the bottom of the bore, rather than flying around randomly and potentially jamming in the cut. Thank you very much for your taking the time out to watch and comment. I really do appreciate it. My compressor did me no favours either.
My camera does that too. It finds the most unflattering noises it can and focuses in on them. Usually my inane ramblings.
@@retromechanicalengineer So does mine.
Brave video to make Carl! you have to concentrate when you are threading, and you made an excellent job. I tend to start trying for a fit before I have reached the "book" depth to allow for wear in the thread, but you got an excellent fit. Re the extra views, YT is an odd place, my best vids so far have been when I have done odd jobs, like a ford Mondeo heater repair, and rebuilding a stihl chainsaw carb, thousands of views and thanks from all over the world! A lot of it is down to the wording of the title and the thumbnail you use, the algoritm judges you on those two factors! cracking watch mate, and the crackling cutting noise had us both clenching I am sure!!
Phil
Thank you Phil. The calling out of the sequence of operations on the lathe was not just for the camera. It was to stop me making a mistake. As an aircraft engineer I studied human factors. Truth be told I did try the screw before going the extra 5 thou. It was tight. Just like the delrin was. Doing the delrin test pieces gave me the knowledge to know I could take that extra 5 thou. I'm very glad to receive your comments. Thank you so much for your input and support. Hugely appreciated.
@@carlwilson1772 worthy praise for an engineer with a clean machine!!, I usually make an aluminium practice peice before diving in to the real job!
@@philhermetic The first thing I do before starting a new turning job is clean and lubricate the machine. Not only does it prepare the machine for the task, ensuring that it performs well, it also puts the mind on the right path ready to perform accurate work. Right work proceeds from right thinking.
First
As always.

Cheers my friend.
