    I was determined not to be an armchair safety officer but watching you operate a lathe with gloves on took away any pleasure I had with the otherwise great job.

    • @glassglowz
      @glassglowz  8 лет назад

      Getting cut by the strings of metal was a certainty, so I took my changes with the gloves. Thanks for watching!

    • @Hui9697
      @Hui9697 8 лет назад +1

      I've worked lathes etc. for years and never been cut with swarf yet, across the back of the hand with the cutting tool maybe a few times, lol.
      However I do know of one guy where I worked go into a lathe by wearing gloves, he survived because the alloy was not bar tight in the chuck to avoid damage, the chuck slipped when the job stalled after he was drawn in by his glove.
      Bear in mind when you go into a lathe you go under and between the bed and work piece, your arm tendons wrap around and get ripped from your chest.

      Nice job! I do agree that GLOVES are DANGEROUS. I former co worker had a stringy chip pull his leather glove into the workpiece. He soon became "double jointed" in a bad way.

    Nice job I sure hope you have your eye sight or you where glasses . I'V seen others use endmills on a mill your method looks a lot easer . I'm going to make a 2'' one one of these days . JM

    Very good job on the build on the tube bending die . Could you do a video on how you made the radius cutter .

    • @glassglowz
      @glassglowz  4 года назад

      Oh goodness, I made that cutter years ago now.

    • @anthonycash4609
      @anthonycash4609 4 года назад

      @@glassglowz yes I did see it was at least a 3 year old video and I did try to see the cutter in detail when watching but the camera never did get a close up shot of it. Anyway it was at least worth a try. Good job on the cutter but the way it did a real good job with no charred and cut perfect.

  • @murrayedington
    @murrayedington 7 лет назад

    Most DROs have a "1/2" function. Find one side of the work with the edge finder, zero the scale, find the other edge, then press the "1/2" button. That divides the displayed value by 2. The "zero" position is now located half way between the edges. Saves needing to use a calculator to find the mid points of holes and rounds....

    Enjoyed watching your work. But after the welding, there was probably a bit of cleanup we missed. And I would have liked to have seen the bender put to work.

    • @glassglowz
      @glassglowz  9 лет назад +1

      +Glenn Lawrie-Smith There really wasn't much cleanup work. Maybe one of these days I'll post a video of the bender in action. Or you could check out this guys site. I bought the bender plans from him www.gottrikes.com/Tube_Bender.htm

    Good work.
    What about Safety?
    Use safety glasses.
    If the HSS break into pieces (at high rpm), it could hurt your eyes so much.

    • @glassglowz
      @glassglowz  9 лет назад +3

      You don't see it in the video, but I'm always wearing safety glasses when I'm machining.

    • @zuzmofarok

    • @glassglowz

      +stanley carter It was that or get sliced up and burnt by the stringers, so I took my chances with the gloves.

  • @psiwog
    @psiwog 8 лет назад

    Excellent work fella. Rather than cut it in half and get a 90 degree bend, why not cut 1/4 and leave the rest for 180 degrees?

    • @glassglowz
      @glassglowz  8 лет назад +1

      yeah, I guess I could have. Much easier to just cut the die in half though.

  • @davsyl94
    @davsyl94 4 года назад

    At 3:20 he is wearing safety glasses. When you see him not wearing them he is using an edge finder to set up the drilling process...guarantee he is wearing safety glasses for the rest of the process.

    • @glassglowz
      @glassglowz  4 года назад

      I'm always amused about the number of comments about safety glasses in this video. You're exactly correct in that I took them off to use the edge finder. I never run my machines without glasses. I'm even using ear protection now days to help prevent my tinnitus from worsening. Take care and thanks for watching!

  • @shawnlund

    What are you using as a lubricant? Looks like flood coolant?

    • @glassglowz
      @glassglowz  8 лет назад

      +Shawn Lund yeah I think that's what I used.

    • @shawnlund
      @shawnlund 8 лет назад

      +glassglowz you should give an oil lubricant a try. Without actually flooding the tool and material the coolant isn't that useful. It's lubricating properties aren't very good and if you are using carbide it can actually thermal shock the tool.
