Hate painting my work. I can never get it to look like yours. Great video. I like that you don't spend 10 minutes showing us CAD models in Fusion. It's the kind of stuff we all have to do in our shops: building expedient solutions. I get frustrated with channels that show how to fix a problem like this by engineering a new thing in Solidworks and then use a $100,000 5 axis CNC machine to make it from 4140 billet. Yours turned out great.
I have been told by those that have Lathes, when looking for a Lathe, make sure it comes with at least, a extra 4 Jaw Chuck, Steady Rest, and a Follow Rest. Yet, to this day, I have NEVER seen anyone use a Follow Rest. Looking forward to seeing this bad boy do it's stuff.
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair Oh, I've already booked my reservations for that one. Now I'm assuming the Follow Rest Saddles on the cut side of the project?
Now thats what i´m talking about. What an excellent job. Very cool ideas in the process. Built like a tank, this follow rest will provide the service you are looking for. TOP.
I’ve heard that impact driving works very well but I haven’t been brave enough yet to try it. In my experience I’ve found that hand tapping breaks and chips more taps than power tapping.
We want more! We want more!! We want more!!!:) The only channel where I can say this three times!LOL. Excellent work. Such a pleasure to follow you from my chair and computer screen. Thanks for sharing. I will be there to see this rest actually working!! WWG1WGA
question: i also have to make a lead screw for my lathe. my follow rest has (pretty worn) brass tips so i was thinking about swapping them for bearings, but now i see you did the opposite in this case, yours had bearings and you made new ones with brass tips, is there a reason? you said you were gonna use the ones you had, im guessing the brass tips have a better chance of not damaging the lead screw threads?
I used ones from a steady rest which is why they had bearings. To my knowledge all follow rests use brass because you are kindof sliding sideways on a part so the load is not just radial. I would think bearings would just scoot across especially on threads.
Loving your content, hard work, and need that lead screw video to drop now 🙏💯💥👏🏴👌😃 Hope that RUclips algorithm will reward your great work ethic, hope you smash it up, with the extra effort you throwing in..👍
Kyle does nothing half-a$$. Even when he hurts himself. 😉 But I was disappointed I didn't hear the obligatory CAD joke. Not really. Nice job as always!

Absolutely I am with you
Rucker was the first person I've seen use a paint brush.

Yeah it is more rare. Watch out for one our next videos you’ll see it

Man, that’s a tank of a follow test. I need to build one for my puny Boxford lol. Looking forward to see it work. Great job.
Glad you enjoyed it
Dude, out-flippin-standing job!
Thanks man
needing to make a follow rest for my old 13" South Bend.
thanks for a great video....
cheers from Florida, PB
Glad you liked it
fantastic camera work and editing, love all the sounds, especially the bronze being turned......a very well done build......Bravo....
Thank you very much! I appreciate it
The finish product looks OEM well done 👍👍
Really appreciate it

That’s a SOLID piece of kit. Well done man.
Appreciate it
Excelent job on the follower rest, can't wait to see it in action on the lead screw build!✔
Should be up soon
Absolutely
You're a brave man for using a driver for tapping. I guess those titanium nitride coated taps are not as brittle as the conventional ones.
Yeah I left that in for comic relief, not recommended

@@ellieprice363 in my experience it’s the other way around but everyone has a different opinion
Have you ever considered making a show on how you sharpen your tools and make custom high speed steel tools for your lathe work?
I don’t really use high speed. Very rarely
Mr. Pete has some good videos on sharpening HSS lathe tools. Check it out.
@@ellieprice363 will do probably watched it awhile ago lol
We want more! We want more!! We want more!!!:)
The only channel where I can say this three times!LOL.
Excellent work. Such a pleasure to follow you from my chair and computer screen.
Thanks for sharing.
I will be there to see this rest actually working!!

You’re getting it lol. We are doing one video per week for a while until we catch up so that’s twice as many videos
Looks like a home run there Kyle!
Thanks hilltop
Well done, amazing content, really direct to the point of the video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent project, great video, Thinks for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!

Nice job that looks good.

Looks awesome.
Thanks
Great work well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
really awsome build thanks for sharing.
You bet
insane dude. that was a great built
Appreciate it
very nice build. Thanks for the share!
Thanks for watching!
If you don't mind me asking what tool holder were you using in the lathe BTW love the Chanel
At which point in the video
After freezing, what chemical were you referring to?
Can of air
Outstanding
I’m making that
Thanks
Happy Saturday ☀️🌴👍
Same to you!
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
7:00 you have recreated the classic Psycho shower scene horror sound!
Exactly lol
kewl project!
Thanks

I’m literally working on another lead screw as we speak but yeah, the video is already edited so I think it’ll be up in two weeks possibly
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair brilliant, can't wait for it,much-loved from the UK 👏👌
Super!
Glad you enjoyed it
That will hold. For sure.
Indeed

lol. I am learning fusion right now so no cad jokes in the future
Brick house 👊🏻
Thanks
I *think* I'm following what you mean...
😉
Lol
Nice work!!
Thanks!
