    Your parting demo was as smooth as it could be. You part with the best of them. It is scary but as long as you do EVERYTHING as you stated in your tutorial it’ll go just fine. I’ve made chatter, I’ve shattered blades, I’ve bound up my lathe and it’s all scary but as long as you take your time and do it right it can be very satisfying. Especially when you get it right and it’s new to you. It’s a definite moment of marching pride. Machining is all about pride for me. I am a big time perfectionist and just knowing the precision and all that is there even when it doesn’t need to be make me a happy camper.

  • @scottb8175
    @scottb8175 3 года назад +7

    One thing....I always set the blade height at or just a few thou under center....never above. I've found the initiating of any death chatter results in a shattered blade far more likely with the blade above center, even just a little. Below means the blade bounce doesn't wedge the blade deeper into the stock on the swing out of the diameter. This provides more warning to back out of the cut before the blade breaks.

  • @clayz1
    @clayz1 Год назад +2

    I learned parting using rocker toolposts. And HSS tools of course. Just three more dimensions of difficulty (dementia of difficulty). That was in the 1980’s. Parting tools and tool holders have all improved to the point where parting is predictable nowadays. That’s all I have to add. Bondihacks video is nothing less than the best instruction for parting with HSS tooling. At the shop we have moved on to carbide insert tooling and we have never looked back. Great vid Blondihacks. I am impressed how some ‘hobby’ people know their subject from one end to the other, just out of the love of doing.

    Parting on the lathe, it's like a horror movie. Even after all these years, when I have to cut a piece, it's always creepy. Full anxiety. But that anxiety helps not to make mistakes.

    Hey I just came across this video last night and I was out into the shed today.
    Did my first successful parting operation in 30 years!
    Ok I did take 25 years off.
    My old lathe doesn’t have a lot of positives going for it in the parting department.
    The golden nugget for me was that the parting tool holder is machined square vertically and the blade I have is tapered.
    I always thought the holders were made to deal with a tapered blade.
    Some quick measurements and a pice of paper folded twice (.020”) and I’m making nuts and washers
    Ok I also slowed it down to my slowest speed without using the back gear.
    I’ve been cutting stuff off with a hack saw for the last 5 years.
    I still need to work on the free play on the slides but hey what a leap forwards.
    Thank Ms Hacks :)

  • @RelentlessHomesteading
    @RelentlessHomesteading Год назад +1

    Some great points. I was doing my first partings the other day.
    Unfortunately - I was working on a 2 foot long bar through the headstock - but that end was not confined to center.
    Registered the 4 jaw chuck to < 1 thou.
    ...HOWEVER - that was the STATIC position. But in running, the far end was flexing and inducing a harmonic.
    The cutting got scary real fast - and explained why the facing and turning was so poor.
    Got halfway through the parting cut and decided to finish with a hacksaw.
    Was a good learning experience - gotta make more tools for this guy.
    Finishing off the cut off piece went very well and confirmed the centrifugal force issue.
    Mine is a 1953 Logan 920 11" x 24".
    Found one in very nice condition - but stripped it totally down and cleaned, refined, replaced and painted.
    And it still works, ... LOL. And as you said in a video - one needs to take the size and weight into account.
    I am working by myself and moving this around and getting the legs under this 700 pound hunk of iron required some real jig work.
    Enjoying your excellent tutorials...

  • @crichtonbruce4329
    @crichtonbruce4329 2 года назад +8

    I used to suck at parting (still not great) so I would use the parting tool to start the cut, go as far as I dared, and then finish with the hacksaw. This created a nice, accurate shoulder for gauging the squareness of the saw cut. Quinn is the best teacher out there!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you Quinn. I have been battling and failing at parting off on my mini lathe ever since I inherited it, to the point that I had simply given up. I had searched the interweb and RUclips and tried many solutions to no avail. One day I discovered a channel called Blondihacks (insert anjelic chorus here) and my world changed forever. While cruising your back catalogue and soaking up the knowledge generously provided, I discovered your advice to shim my hss parting blade. Voila! This turned out to be the holy grail I had been searching for. I used my tweaked tool today and it worked perfectly, just like the big boys do it. 😁 You even inspired me to post my first ever RUclips comment. Thanks heaps for your excellent videos Quinn and stay safe in this crazy time.

    @robertoswalt319 5 лет назад +2

    Great video Quinn. You are the first person to mention that a shim can help with the flat and t parting blades. One thing I have done in setting the parting blade height is to adjust it to the part that was faced off as it shows the dead center of the spindle. The reason I have done that is that my progressive bifocals don't cooperate when I try to get my head in the right position to align the tool with the live center in the tail stock.
    Thanks again for the great tutorials. I have been making chips for a short while and am always picking up some great tips.

    • @Blondihacks
      @Blondihacks  5 лет назад +1

    On the point about using a powered cross-slide, I guess the other disadvantage of that is you presumably want to start going more slowly the closer you get to the centre of the stock as the surface speed will slowly be reducing - that, or slowly increase the rotational speed. But either way, it seems hand feeding is the best approach, for a hobby shop machinist at least.

    Recently found your channel as I was looking for videos on model steam engines. On my similar lathe I was noticing flex in the compound which caused trouble while parting. My solution is placing a machinist jack on the cross slide and under the tool holder. This helps reduce the flex. I’m tempted to remove the compound for this reason. Thanks for all the effort you put into the videos! Jim

    You point out that the cutting edge has to be perpendicular to the parting blade to prevent side thrust making it curve and bind, and separately, that some tapered parting blades have a top rake. It's been my experience that the top rake provides a side thrust that makes them tend to bind, and kaboom, hence my preference for the t-shaped parting blades you use.

    Thanks for the video. I've "only" shattered one parting blade, so far, in the 3 years I've owned a lathe. It taught me to be a lot more careful in my setup. Coke cans are my usual shim stock, .004"+-, I'm cheap!

    That was very thorough, well done!
    When I first got my small cnc lathe some fifteen years ago, I used to avoid parting by buying blanks cut to length. Then a tool company rep told me I should be parting off in the lathe to save the cost of having my material cut up. This crazy man was talking about parting at 2000 rpm! I had not experienced insert parting tools before and what a difference. I routinely part at 3000 rpm in brass and aluminium. Carbide parting inserts do not jam up on the sides as they are wider at the cutting edge than any where else. The shape of the cutting edge is designed to create a chip that is narrower than the groove so they do not tend to jam in the groove. The insert I commonly use has rake of 30 degrees which is great for small lathes as it reduces the power required for the cut.
    Even in my centre lathe which is much larger and slower, the same tools still work brilliantly. There is no way, I would even consider using HSS these days. Can be more expensive than HSS, but well worth it for myself anyway.

    Thanks for this, very well presented, all these little tips are way helpful, things I have not even thought much about, just hearing them sticks them into my mental tool box. I'm a little less horrified by parting, especially in my large Goodway lathe I'm rebuilding. Maybe next time I won't resort to the hacksaw in frustration.

    I just started working with a lathe and this video is so very informative. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. In my brief experience, the biggest contributor for problems is tools that aren't sharp enough. For woodwork I depend upon razor-sharp chisels and the lathe tools are no different.
    There's a jig for sharpening chisels on diamond stones. I think I'll make a rolling jig to sharpen my parting tools, and maybe some of the other tools, on those same diamond stones.

    Dead nuts on. Nice. Is that metric? I guess I have only been doing 10 things absolutely wrong and 4 other things just slightly wrong. Maybe I won’t need to stand behind my tactical bullet proof swat shield anymore when I part. I thank you, my spleen really thanks you. If I had a 100 dollar bill, I would send it to you directly. Thank you so much for this great video.

    to do parting on my 7x14 chinese mini lathe, I had to improve a lot rigidity on all slides and a lot of trial and errors.
    Now I can part stainless steel or white steel with a 2mm wide hss flat rod, grinded as needed.
    many thanks for the nice explanation

    This is your best technique video. One thing, I have one of the cheap 7x14 lathes, but it parts pretty well AFTER I got my setup dialed in. It's a cheap lathe so it took a little work, but it was worth the effort.

  • @mikebuckland2415
    @mikebuckland2415 4 года назад

    For small hobby type lathes a back tool post really helps due the improved geometry where the cutting forces are directed down towards the lathe bed rather than lifting the tool away from the bed when parting from a front tool post.

    Great vid. Wish I had seen it when I was learning at a machine shop school. I was instructed on the parting operation. There was some difficulty positioning the tool in relation to the work. The instructor instructed to extend the angle cross slide to get more room. Half way through the operation the angle Cross slide broke in half. He said he should not have told me to do that. We all learned at the expense of the lathe. I never did parting that way again. I guess that is why the call it school. that was 40 years ago.

    Thanks, Quinn😊. There's not a whole lot of tutorials on this subject. I've only recently acquired a qctp and was still using a lantern style tool post. It was NOT working out very well for me. The tool would flex and felt like it was getting pulled into the work (not good 😬). So yeah, stalled out my lathe twice and it was super scary lol. Looks like you have the same tool holder I now have, I'll definitely take your advice on adding a shim behind the blade. Thanks for the video, it was very informative.
    👍😁👍

    • @Blondihacks
      @Blondihacks  5 лет назад +1

      Good stuff, let me know how it goes with the new toolpost. Lantern toolposts have that classic look people like, but they are definitely not very rigid. If you want to keep using it, there is a special type of tool holder that has a slightly flexible section in it which keeps the parting tool from binding. You’d have trouble finding one nowadays and I forget what they are called. Looks like a big gooseneck.

    Hi Quinn, I do quite a lot of parting on my Harrison M300 and it's in good condition. Everything single thing you have said here is so valuable for beginners. However, a couple of additional things that I do:-
    1. I use a height gauge to set my tool heights when it really matters, like parting off. (I actually keep a budget model permanently set rather than keep unboxing my Moore & Wright beauty). Worth noting is that the top face of the cross slide needs to be a consistent good surface, clean and undamaged, alternatively is the method of bringing the tool tip in contact with a straight piece of shim against the side of the chuck, even a couple of thou off of centre will see the shim be 'not vertical'.
    2. The second thing I do, particularly with larger diameter stock is to use a travelling steady. It prevents (or should if set right) deflection and saves wear on the spindle bearings.
    3. If I have a deep cut to make (large diameter) then I start the blade not extended to it's fullest depth required and extend as needed. (mine are Dixon toolholders so blades are 'flat' not generally angled upwards.
    I agree about hand feeding, it gives most feedback even though my machine has very slow feeds available I always have my foot on the emergency brake bar as that is a real instant and total stop of the spindle, the other hand is on the feed engage lever ready to drop it out.

    Congratulations ! this is a very very good explanation on WHY I was having problems "parting off"
    your in depth explanation did not fall on deft ears ! THANK YOU ! though I heard all this before the
    important thing is Parting is Picky work on a lathe Tighten the gibs and sharpen the tool ! and don't be in a hurry !
    way to go Blondy !.....Bob...
