    I own a lathe and find the bit about hot chips landing on your person to be spot on. PPE seems like the OBVIOUS solution - as if those giving you flack have never operated a lathe in their life.

    i always wear gloves. its simple, just dont put your hands on the spinny bit and you will be fine.
    its not only the hot chips that really hurt but its also the part having sharp burrs or the dead center getting hot, or the drillbit getting hot.
    best rule is not "dont wear gloves", best rule is "dont be an idiot and be aware of where your hands should and will be"

It sad that there are a few people who need to criticize your work habits with safety issues that you are well aware of that would expose you to injury. As you have address those issues, I hope they have been put to rest and fans of your youtube will realize that you practice safety procedures that keep you from getting injured. Thank you for setting the record straight, and you can get on with the build.

    Please use the rpm gauge. It would be awesome if you could use the front and rear tires as rear tires on a single axle, that would allow you to use the speedometer as well.

    Wow...Nice shop. I've been machining for +30 yrs. ALL machines throw chips on your arms, chest, legs, butt crack, etc. , at least lose the gloves. Man up. That piece of plate is going to warp like crazy when it heats up. That's why rotors are cast. Make mistakes, lots of mistakes, you usually won't forget what you learn from them. Looks like you're off to a great start. I wish I had that equipment 20-25 yrs ago. You be careful, I'll be watching. Really good videos!

    @SquidoftheD 5 лет назад

    Great work Chris, I've followed your progress from the start of your lathe build, I can see you have dialed your lathe in a bit more and it looks to be running well, well done. Now you have a mill revisit your cross and compound slide. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't settle for that's good enough for a home made lathe. With your milling machine you have the tools to really bring the lathe up to spec. In machining there really is not a lot of room for that's good enough. I had an aprentice hand me a piece heavy plate and his square and ask me is this square enough, I asked him is it square he said just about, I said well it's not square then. Once again keep at it don't cut any corners and follow the process. I think people might find it interesting if you showed your project planning phase and how you determine where to start and why you have made that decision, you could tie in your process for costing as well. These are very important aspects or the industry.

    Love watching the videos, you have some of the best engineered work on RUclips. I'm really impressed at the quality of your work, and dedication to doing top notch work. I'm a machinist myself and I can tell you (for a fact) that the burns, cuts and scratches that you get from the hot chips are just part of your every working day. It's little differant than putting your pants on in the morning. You get used to it!

    Ignore the criticizers out there. You have your (valid, it seems to me) reasons for wearing protective equipment. Yes, certain clothing and jewelry items should not be worn while doing this kind of work, but ppe should be balanced out against what you are doing. As far as the length of your videos goes, make them as long as you need to. The first video of yours that I watched was when you made that lathe. I loved it and still like your videos, and would not mind at all if they were a little longer.

    Tough luck on the undersized shaft,I've been a machinist going on 30 years now,I don't make as many mistakes as when I first started,but they still happen.The difference between a master machinist and an apprentice?The master knows how to correct his mistakes.
    If you don't have a pair already,get yourself some digital calipers.When turning set the calipers to your finished size,then zero them.Then when you take a measurement the calipers will show you the total amount your workpiece is oversized at that point.Whatever dimension they read,remember the amount your cutting tool needs to move in is 1/2 of dimension (cutting on the radius).
    If your lathe doesn't have accurate dials on the crosslide,you can use a dial indicator mounted on the carriage to precisely measure it's movement.

      What MrWreeve says about Your choice to protect yourself is true.The chips fly and burn your hair,etc,if you don't know how to protect yourself.When a person is cautious,you won't burn yourself,or get shredded by the ribbons of steel.You do as you choose.(I had a steel sleeve for my cig lighter,so chips didn't make me Pop.I quit btw.Years ago.)

    Merry Christmas bro.. I think you should do a 2 seater IN LINE instead of side by side.. all you need to do is make the person behind the driver sit with they're legs spread around the driver seat to shorten the frame length... It's doable... Raise the rear seat just high enough the rear passenger can see right over the driver's head.. then head back to the rice ranch and rip it up!!!

  • @metalworksmachineshop
    @metalworksmachineshop 5 лет назад

    Your not bad at it , you just have to remember. A 10thou cut is 20 thou off the diameter. Also a proper lathe with dials and power feed would help. I see your lathe has a lot of runout. So by the time it cut round the parts were to small. Nice little mill. You need a coaxial indicator to get your hole centers. The boring bar wasnt even coming close to being center. Unless the hole placement didnt matter.

    Awesome project!! What are the CV axles from? Never fear man. The bearings that don't fit, you can use a smaller bearing. Those are rotor bearings, so maybe look up the application to see if they are the inner, if so then look up the outer ones which are usually a little smaller inside diameter. Or find another application. If you still need the shafts.
