Very nice tool design for your lathe, we like it and that does turn down your material. Threading work, we are unknown here, thank you for the share, Lance & Patrick.
I could have thought of that. Bull she it! Most machinist won't admit the have learnt something new with these kind of videos. I did. Thank you, Master.
Thanks for the video, some interesting techniques there which I hadn't seen before. I always wondered what the meccano thread was. I loved my Meccano when I was a kid, and enjoy machining now, as an adult. Mart.
is there a workshop tour anywhere?! I'm sure there are others who would like to see the whole setup! (the foundry was a great tease!) thanks for all the work you do! inspirational
I admire your skills and techniques. I learn something new from everyone of your videos which is very much appreciated. Thank you for your valuable time sharing them.
Very useful idea.I live in France so buy metric bar , I can easily get 6 and 8mm bar and sometimes when following an imperial drawing need 1/4" od .I guess it all depends on the final finish and if this would be good enough for a shaft.Ken
+Peter A Yes indeed! Another mystery solved. I always wondered how in the world the tiny grub screws were made for Meccano. Also those used to hold the faces on pocket watches.
very nice to see your fixtures and steps! i was confused as to why you would go to all the trouble - turns out you cannot buy threaded bar/rod in that size and even the screws are are/expensive, so buying screws and cutting off heads is also not an easy way. Kind of annoying that you have to manufacture such a part, but you make it look easy :)
+myfordboy Yes, I thought that would be part 2 :) I was trying to say that 5/32 *threaded* stock is not readily available. I mostly work in metric and did not initially consider that some other sizes are hard/impossible to come by.
Why isn't it necessary to use a smaller bush on the second pass? I imagine it would have play because the diameter was reduced in the first one? Also, do you need some special die for this technique? Because usually, it is said you should turn the die back and forth every so often to break the chip.
+Cancun771 My description was a bit misleading. Only one cut is taken on the rod. When i said second pass I meant the rod was advanced when the saddle reached the chuck. The saddle was wound back to the tailstock end and a cut taken on the rod that was still the original size. It was only a standard die but you are correct it is usual to reverse it occasionally. This wa sa very small thread so i got away with it.
normal when I tread long bars Ive treaded in the treadrolling machines that are go very faster ejp 1mtr 8mm 22 sec , the second form is with the die in the lathe and the last is cutting in de lathe , but Im like the lathe works and your video is perfect for look on hours , I like the myford lathe Ive an old sheldon lathe an early 11ww lathe the 1936 model and he dont go perfect but its my lathe and I begon with him when I has 12 year now Ive 55 and I love my machine 43 years with him bye and good look with your machines
you´re great Myfordboy!!! very nice video. Just a quiestion: when threading with the handheld die holder, who´s moving the carriage of the lathe? The lathe´s own screw or is ti the thread being made the one who pulls the carriage? best regards.
Couple of thoughts. Could the steady be used for supporting thin rod, during single point threading? Also, could you make a steady that would take a die, thereby allowing a long length to be threaded in one go?
A y chance I can s ND you something to do this too? I have a turn signal lever whose diameter is too big for the steering wheel column on my 1962 ford falcon. I really want to put a newer model lever I have on it, but of course the diameter is too big.
Hello, can you please tell me how to machine a shaft with different Diameters My project is OD 8mm with 75mm long then go down to OD 6 mm with 17mm then go down to OD 5mm with 68mm long I know it's sounds weird it's going inside a D.C. Motor that fit 8mm shaft then a pinion gear with 6 mm hole then going through that pinion to 2 bearings 5 mm each I have wested so many metal and I am about to give up because each time the accuracy is .005 or .008 and can't get ..001 or less!! Tried fallow rest, steady rest, Collet check, 4 jaw check but no hope !!! Any idea about how to make it? Thank you
So the collar need a lot of a fixed size, used to locate, whether can be designed as a automatic change of the collar?I have a design concept, you can contact me, email: kyle@anok-mould.com, or your email, I sent to you together we design better tools.
Fixtures were great but I'm sorry time is money and I can buy that cheaper than make it,period. Now it is a great hobby but I need to get shit done rather than fuck around with some threaded rod project just sayin
+rob armstrong Rob. I think I have now watched all Myfordboy's videos (or close at least). At first the "silent picture" presentation style seems a little odd but now I think it is so brilliant and utterly charming. Way too much talking in the world. Watch and learn! I suppose it might be a challenge to get the tone of a video just right too. Hard to find the balance between competence/arrogance etc. Plus, if you don't talk it is one thing less to get trolled over.
+rob armstrong Not as far as I am concerned...his videos are wonderfully informative and he knows where to add text to supplement the video...I have watched every one of his videos, many more than once, and I learn more every time.
A search in a German forum pointed me to the video. Aah myfordboy yet again. Thank your for making those videos.
This video is better than the best university's in the worl . Thanks 😊
Very nice tool design for your lathe, we like it and that does turn down your material. Threading work, we are unknown here, thank you for the share, Lance & Patrick.
slick idea, also like the tailstock threading setup, I have not seen that style yet as a rookie machinist.
Great idea, I've been doing this for years and I still learn something from you! Thank you
I could have thought of that. Bull she it! Most machinist won't admit the have learnt something new with these kind of videos. I did. Thank you, Master.

+martsrods My engineering interest came from meccano when I was a boy.
I like the fixtures.
Thanks,
John
is there a workshop tour anywhere?! I'm sure there are others who would like to see the whole setup! (the foundry was a great tease!) thanks for all the work you do! inspirational
+Chris Gee I did a tour of the lathe ruclips.net/video/FpisXN4anGQ/видео.html and the mill ruclips.net/video/jnSlJeYgY2w/видео.html
I admire your skills and techniques. I learn something new from everyone of your videos which is very much appreciated. Thank you for your valuable time sharing them.
Some really good tips here I thoroughly enjoyed it thanks so much
Brilliant. Thank you very much for sharing this! This will come in very handy.

this is a verry nice video many thanks
I'm so glad I found this channel
Very clever , I like that .. Make what you need to fit !! Thumbs up man..
Very tricky. Thanks
Great idea! TFS, GB :)
You sir are a true machinist/engineer.
bloody brilliant fixture

+YensR I can get 5/32 rod but just used some 3/16 that I already had. Next time I will convert the rod into 135 black slotted grub screws.
+myfordboy Yes, I thought that would be part 2 :)
I was trying to say that 5/32 *threaded* stock is not readily available. I mostly work in metric and did not initially consider that some other sizes are hard/impossible to come by.
AWESOME.
Genius.... thanks i learn how to mass produce my bolts👍
Well done sir!
awesome technique ! thx.
that is amazing....how long do the brass parts last?
+travnturner This tool is about 15 years old and still has the original bushes.
impressive
Well I see my next lathe project: I've gotta make one of those thin work supports! :-)
Why isn't it necessary to use a smaller bush on the second pass? I imagine it would have play because the diameter was reduced in the first one?

Good job!
I've just known how to make small thread.thank you
Nice, is the fixture of your design and construction? Much more effective than a normal follow rest.
+dale pratt My design.
I should have known...what an excellent machinist you are.
Is your small diameter turning tool a commercial product or is it something you made?
Хорошая работа, всегда приятна.

Just a quiestion: when threading with the handheld die holder, who´s moving the carriage of the lathe? The lathe´s own screw or is ti the thread being made the one who pulls the carriage?
best regards.
+carlos m. zaccaro The thread being cut pulls the carriage along and the angle plate keeps the die holder square.
+myfordboy Thank you Myforboy! I was pretty sure, but still wanted to listen to you!
I'm really interested to know what will you be making with Meccano. Please show us, Myford.
+Pablo GNB More in next weeks video.
Couple of thoughts.
Could the steady be used for supporting thin rod, during single point threading?
Also, could you make a steady that would take a die, thereby allowing a long length to be threaded in one go?
Its basically a travelling steady with changeable bushes so yes it can be used for screwcutting . You could add a die by adding a holder of some form.
Wow
that is excellent
been neat if the die fit the steady
A y chance I can s ND you something to do this too? I have a turn signal lever whose diameter is too big for the steering wheel column on my 1962 ford falcon. I really want to put a newer model lever I have on it, but of course the diameter is too big.
You need a grub screw?

Any idea about how to make it?
Thank you
You will have to post that question to where a machinist goes.
smart man
what machine can i use to do this ...i know its a lathe but cant afford that so whats second best ..need to thread a 700mm x6mm bar
Use a die in a stock and turn it by hand. You can probably buy rod that size already threaded.
Very clever indeed. Thanks for sharing. Is that a Meccano coupling I see at the end there?
The screws were made a number of Meccano 3 hole couplings that I made.
Ingenious :)
Nice good job :)
How do you know at what speed to advance the thread cutter? Is this taken care of by the lathe?
Just use a slow feed for screwcutting.
Hi, I was wondering if you had any plans so I can make one of your marvellous machines.
Have a look here for the castings I have myfordboy.blogspot.co.uk/
good!!!!!
I have a question, in the middle of the copper bearing clearance, so the tolerance is very big>?
+kyle tong The bushes are brass. The tolerance depends on the size hole you make.
So the collar need a lot of a fixed size, used to locate, whether can be designed as a automatic change of the collar?I have a design concept, you can contact me, email: kyle@anok-mould.com, or your email, I sent to you together we design better tools.
Text says 3/16" but perhaps should have been 3/8" ?
Text is correct.
what type of steel is that rod you threaded?
Mild steel e.g E1A or similar.
@@myfordboy thanks, and thanks for this video.I will make one of these supports for my mini lathe in the near future!
Sir can make ss rod od 2 mm to od 1.5 mm by this machine ?
Sure any size is possible.
@@myfordboy please give me your email i want to share my requirement.
@@AbdurRahim-gp2yq my channel name at gmail.com
what model lathe is this?
Myford ML10
Any body can upload their ideas for making anklet screws made of silver.
Oooooh, watch out for the long stick out you have of the right side of the bushing ... it can hurt you badly if it starts to "swing" !
Keld Sørensen should have another steady for the other end
Fixtures were great but I'm sorry time is money and I can buy that cheaper than make it,period. Now it is a great hobby but I need to get shit done rather than fuck around with some threaded rod project just sayin
you can ad voice to your videos too for a greater impact, just an idea...

+dale pratt my view it would help, but as they say opinions are like assholes everyone's got one..c'est la vie..
If you quit your day job, you'll definitely find gainful employment as a master machinist. lol
Too much time wasted watching swarf being produced
