Heavy Turning in the Monarch Lathe: Bradley Power Hammer Bump Stop for Blacksmith Tools
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- My buddy @blacksmithtools was needing a part machined for his Bradley Power Hammer to goes with the adjustable bum stop. I took a piece of salvaged shafting and machined the part he needed in the Monarch. I used my LNMX insert tool for the heavy turning. These are my favorite chips to make in the lathe. I ending up taking 1/2" passes at a .017" feed rate.

I've never even seen a lathe in real life, probably never will, but I know "tighten your highs and loosen your lows" from years of watching lol.
Thanks for making these videos. Even though I'm not a machinist, I find these videos very calming. You have a great personality. Keep up the great work.
Same.
Same! They help me go to sleep!
I’ve learned so much from Adam, one day I will have some use for the knowledge. Until then I will just keep enjoying the show.
Instead of being fed negative and violence from TV I load up with positivity from people like him.
@@pettergardo3874 I initially started watching CNC videos on RUclips to help me go to sleep and the algorithm eventually pointed me to Abom79's channel. Whereas many of the videos are also good for relaxation, I've learned a ton about machining and I also came to really appreciate Adam's work ethic - that he's learning and expanding his abilities al the time. I've told my family that watching Adam's videos has made me smarter!
Jokes on me. I AM a machinist but I still watch his videos. I just can't get away from work. Lol
Today I learned something new as a 70 years old toolmaker. Never to old to learn.
Love that he actuallu sent a video to Adam showing what the part was for, that was really cool in my book
When I first found your channel you were making the welding table and I didn’t even know what a lathe or mill was. Now I own one of each and I’m making parts and prototypes and repairing stuff frequently.
Without you and your video catalog, I’d still have no clue what a machinist is and how darn cool you all are. Thank you for teaching us with each new project you do.
Adam, aside from being a top notch expert in the field you are also gracious and very helpful. You always take time to show new tricks or refresh us on various ways of getting it done. God bless you and your family.

Adam, I have watched from SNS #3, 10 years? I have been a Patreon supporter of your channel almost that long. My major reasons for starting, and continuing, is watching you indicate. I love seeing you bring the piece into 1:1000th. It is fantastic. Adam, here you give a brilliant Master Class in How To Do It, with reasons. Your commentary about the gap, tight grip, and not breaking the tool, are priceless. You remind me of the comments you got about clamping the yellow hand-crane to the tool-holder. The commenters thought the tool holder would not be strong enough. But listen to that tool reaching the end of the gap. What kind of high force is slamming against that tool-holder on each revolution. Of course the tool-holder can hold the hand-crane.
Forge hammer bump stop and my friend abom is worried about marring the chunk of metal. That's dedication.
Classic machinist move
I enjoy watching the indicating because your so proficient at it. Indicating is hard, yet you make it look so simple and straightforward. If you’re smart you’ll realize that someone that makes something hard look easy has a gold mine of knowledge under their hat. We can catch a glimpse of that knowledge with these videos.
The longer you indicate on a four jaw, the easier it becomes. Once mastered, you'll never want to use a scroll chuck.
That trick with the rule was great.
Impressive chips.....when your chips come out looking that good, ya know everything's right on...in this day of age of calculate this, calculate that......the OLD SCHOOL ways of listening to what the machine is saying and looking at what it;s showing you can;t be beat, your Dad and Grandpa would be proud of what you learned from them.
Man, it’s so remarkable to me that no matter how gross the metal looks, there is always beautiful shiny metal underneath
That scale trick to true the piece in the 4 jaw was gold. Thanks!
Indicating is both art and science...I also like seeing you do this, because there are multiple techniques, such as what you showed here. Great stuff Adam!
HI Adam, thats a fantastic tip with the steel rule and indicating, As someone who is not a trained machinist but does have a couple of lathes and a mill ive learnt a lot form you. I think its great how your family has passed knowledge down through the generations. My Dad was a milling machine operator, and i so much wish he had been able to pass his skills down to me
You, Squatch 253, Engles Coach Shop, and Vehcor. All guys who actually care about the finished product and are willing to explain it to us.
The rule indicator trick was excellent, thanks! Love watching your videos, learn something every time.
I have said it once and I will always say it. I LOVE, old machinery and tools that our countries built what we know as the Industrial Revolution. And hats off to all that are bringing them back to life for others to enjoy not ONLY nostalgia but the beauty of them.
Those brass soft jaw pads are great. I started doing that after seeing it on an Abom video some years ago. They might be even more efficient if you cut longer pieces and bend the excess back up so it wraps around the opposite side of the chuck jaws. That way you can slide them on before putting the work piece in and they would hold themselves snug to the chuck jaws. Just a thought. I always enjoy your videos Abom. Youve taught me many things over the years. 👍
I've said it before, but the industrial arts community on RUclips and the interwebs is a beautiful thing. We're lucky to be alive at such a time to be able to enjoy art forms we otherwise would have never had a window into. :)
That follow up video submitted by your friend was an unexpected treat.
That trick with the ruler was slick as a frog turd!
Its a beautiful thing to see the return of big turnings back on the channel, the monarch is purring like a kitty and cant wait to see the new American Pacemaker make its debut in the new shop-!!
This type of video is why I subscribed years ago. Making big chips!
Great video. I appreciated seeing how the part was going to be used. It added value to your video. Thank you.
About half a century ago I had done repetitive 3/4 inch diameter reductions in mild steel in one pass. Beautiful curly blue chip. On an 18”x72” engine lathe made by F.E. Reed in 1892 with leather belt drive! The last production job on it was around 1970 with 9,500 pieces. It is now in a museum.
I took 40 thou off at a time once with my lathe and it started calling me racial slurs. 500 thou is impressive!
After the insults mine just shut down and wouldn't talk to me anymore lol...
I find it fascinating how the chips come off the bit straw-coloured but turn blue sometimes before they're even out of frame
I also love how quick and easy you make the indicating process look. A couple taps on the wrench and the needle goes from flailing to rock solid.
The chip discolouration is due to a thin layer of oxide forming on the chips. The heating from the cutting is what accelerates this oxidation process. So the chip is straw coloured but still hot so turns darker before it hits the pan.
What's also fun is the the "Colour" is actually an interference pattern from light bouncing off the top of the oxide layer and of the steel below. so the different colours indicate different thicknesses of oxide.
I spent a lot of time in front of a Monarch 25’ bed lathe making shafts for large industrial pumps. Best part was roughing out taking heavy cuts, those chips are easier to clean up than the long stringy finish cut ones too. Great video
Yes, finally, back to some good old turning to keep us old time fans happy
Thank you Adam! I always enjoy seeing the indication process. Something about seeing the needle stop moving around erratically is very satisfying.
Yes, keep showing us the everyday basics, tips and tricks!
It was very cool he sent you a video 👍
I luv watching these tricks. I’m no machinist, but I’ve “built” a lot of bicycle wheels, without fancy wheel-building jigs. The techniques are similar for centering. Its always instructive to watch tricks that span disciplines.
Very impressed with the LNMX insert tool. The surface looks like you just made your finish cut, even though you are taking BIG cuts. Very impressive. Also learned some new tricks for indicating over large voids. Thanks!
Machining often comes down to indicating being the primary part of a job, and it's always magical seeing you indicate things in so quickly!
Been following for almost six years - still love watching you indicate centre on the four jaw chuck
That Monarch lathe is just beautiful - your going to miss it in the new shop - it's like your part of it
Another trick learnt. Never too old!!
I am always impressed by your Monarch as to how beautiful the cuts are. Another great video.
This is why I love coming here, it's everything I love to watch!
We miss ABOM doing ABOM work
Very agressive chips!!! Can't wait to see you doing this on your new to you PaceMaker.
Haven't seen you make this many chips in a long, long time!
The ruler trick was fascinating for two reasons. Because now you can see the tip of the ruler move and here behind the camera it is much easier to visualize the runout of the part like this
That rule trick is a game changer!!!
The use of a ruler is great. Thanks for the fantastic tip.
The trick of using the 12-in rule and the indicator...... That is so cool! It just screams of "old machinist trick of the trade" type stuff.
Been machining 17 years and never seen that thanks! Your knowledge makes the internet worth it!
Im Johan Fourie from South Africa your jobs are very nice and interesting to look at it and I learn from it God bless you and your family 👪
Your channel is a perfect example of three generations of machine shop knowledge and that’s why I love watching it! A big thanks to you Adam!
Want to see some chips that go clank when they hit the floor check out CCEngineering down in Oz. Curtis is testing a shaper he moved into the shop and that thing will do some giant cuts.
That really is an awesome trick, thanks for always showing indicating on the 4 jaw.
You do what you do Adam. If people dont want to watch indicating they can QUIETLY move on.
Adam, thanks so much for the customer reaction, great addition to your vid. Would like to see more of that.
Brent
Thank you for sharing the ruler trick, that will come in handy!
MAN! You have knowledge & skills that just must be passed on to the future generation, I think! I have seen a bit of turning in my life and you make every operation look so natural and correct. Takes a special bit of knowhow Adam Booth!
Great camerawork, nice shots. What a beautiful machine that is! All the best!
Because of you and Joe P. I bought a lathe and a mill started making my own parts. So thanks to both of you !!! and its always a pleasure and very educational to watch what you guys do.
Multiple entries for chip of the week!
The ending explanation of the part was awesome.
i kind of wish you had a thermographic camera of some kind so we would see the heat of the tools as they run.
That's some big brain stuff right there, lol. Great vid Adam!
Ruler trick is genius 👍
I can watch lathe work all day long, inerupted cuts with carbide inserts are l edge of the sea nail biters, but you have to keep watching, No apologies or justification req'd for set up time , it's all good!! keep em coming adam!!
Why would we NOT want to see you indicate that 4-jaw. It's amazing every time. Slick ruler trick
It's his trademark. :)
I would like to call you a good teacher who conveys good knowledge and experience. Thank you very much.
Awesome chips! 👍
I love that indicator riding on the ruler trick. I work in engineering, rather than machining, but design a lot of machined parts. I've learned a lot of practical indicating, measuring, and setup tricks watching you work, so thank you. As the company I work for does a lot of one-off and repair work, I have to think about things differently than if I were making high-volume production designs, and this helps.
The ruler trick also seems like it would be useful for rough surfaces too slightly smooth out your readings
Those cuts 😍 I have absolutely zero machining experience but love watching your videos, I find it soothing and hypnotic. And when you use the shaper 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Nice indicator tip I have never seen. I wouldn't use my expensive scale for that.
That indicating trick is awesome! I'm not a machinist but I pick up tricks from a bunch of you talented types that might work on something else I do in the future
Fantastic trick.
Really satisfying to watch those chips fly and also interesting to see where that part went on the machine thanks for the videos
That’s a slick trick on indicating. Could you put the indicator way out on the end of the ruler and get a very precise measurement? Or if for some reason you didn’t have a small enough indicator that would allow more precision.
I love Machining and Blacksmithing, this project was an awesome way to spend my Sunday morning! Thanks for the share!! 🍻
Hi,Peter from South Africa,nice work,u have passion for your work and teaching people on youtube for free,keep up the good and your skills to people,nice work god bless
Peter Cape town sa
CNC machinist here, love that you show the indicating personally! You do great work man you’re living the dream!
If you start recognizing Abom's scrap metal have you been watching too long?
I've never seen such a good bandsaw cut !!
At 23:10 when the tool hits the work you can see it pull the tip of the tool down. Hell of a cut going on right there.
That technique with the scale across the keyway is like a nugget of gold. In a similar vein, we use to get a rough quick height on a lathe tool using a 6-inch rule being pinched lightly between the cutting edge and the diameter, obviously looking for vertical when pinched, indicating rough center height.
In the beginning you advanced the tool slow because of the interruption might shatter the carbide well I sped the video 2x and it still ran fine so you can go faster next time 😉👍
Are you serious? Doubling the video speed does not mean you can double the speed or depth of cut. Not logical. Maybe you mean something else?
@@NiftyMCD_Australia that's exactly what I mean 🤭 🛩
Oh man, that ruler trick for indicating over bumps and threads is amazing. Will have to keep that in mind.
Man I’ve been watching for a long time and always learn something from you thanks for sharing your knowledge with us would love to talk to you some time we just bout the Utectic spray gun and have been trying to use it any way I could message you ?
I don't even recognize your hands anymore. You're a completely different man Adam, glad to see you so healthy nowadays
Count me as one that likes to see the indicating! 👍
I absolutely love that scale truck when dialling something in like this!!! I will be sticking that in the old knowledge bank thanks for sharing Abom!!!
What kind of base are you using for the dial indicator?
Using the rule between the work and the indicator: excellent technique! Your explanation is great. You are a natural teacher. Thanks for showing!
Sadly, that beautiful part will be hiding inside the hammer. However, we all know it looks fabulous!
Very nice. Nothing like some good 'ol lathe turning. Very relaxing to watch for some reason lol. Thanks for sharing the video of what this part does. I don't do facebook or instagram so was nice to see it included.
24:00 that deflection tho holy sht
@TheNoobShadow1 wow !!! 1/16 maybe?
Pretty normal
For sure, I find watching lathe work quite relaxing and the pace of the video and of course the calm voice of experience
Thanks Abom79 for sharing
Do you think the mist coolant works as well as oil for cut off?
No it does not, especially when parting deep.
@@SkalabalaK6 That's what I was thinking but he made a deep cut and it seemed to work well. I don't have problem with cut off using oil but certainly the mist is not as messy. I might have to try it.
Love the. Ruler trick
Also was wondering if your still looking into proto trak machines !?
That style I am yea 😁
@@Abom79 awesome we have 4 lathes in our shop and a mill they are very good machines were you looking at mills or lathes
Appreciate the footage of the lathe working with no music or voiceover. Especially the slow mo. Great videography Adam.
Uuh not a hint of chatter. That is one rigid lathe.
I'm in love 😍
According to my temper chart, you are at the 600 degree F for those chips. That was a fun video. And I would guess that power hammer was early 1800's.
