I always enjoy watching manual machine work. I work around cnc lathes and mills daily. At home I have antique machines and actually love to feel the part I'm making. You can feel the cutter and the metal cutting. And as far as accuracy, you can do both ways just as acute if you know your machine 😉.
It was very kind of you to make that part for Jeff. That lathe might have been made during WW II so there won't be a lot of them still around. That was a fun video to watch to see how much effort it takes to make one little part.
PLEASE don't take this the wrong way. I started watching you because you were doing all these things that I could do myself. I don't have the equipment, but the process works with almost any manual process. I love the CNC work, and I'm happier than ever that Booth Machine Shop is a going concern. But it's not the same. So I am very happy that you mix in the manual machining as well. The variety and the decision making keep it very interesting, and I look forward every week. Please, keep doing your thing. I'll continue to watch, whatever we happen to get.
Great to have the drawing to talk to. Even though as you say not necessary to make the part, it certainly adds to clarity when you are explaining to us what you are doing.
I like your split screen approach. I tried that, thought it looked great, but my viewers didn’t seem to think much of it. I think the two perspectives really shows a lot more of what is going on.
@@terryjennings2356 I'm sure he'll add that. If you want a professional title block with the bells & whistles, that takes time and knowledge that I'm sure Adam is not familiar with in Fusion or any other CAD program. I've created my own A thru F sized drawing formats from scratch in Solid Edge (Siemens), and it takes time to do it well.
The first thing I learned out of school was that there is no such thing as "standard drafting practices" lol. Every company I've ever worked for does it different. Some places put an exact tolerance on things if one is required, like for a press fit bearing, but otherwise it's just understood by the operator to get it close as possible. Others have a chart of standard tolerances for different applications/dimensions so that you don't have to waste time detailing them on every drawing.
@@terryjennings2356that is not needed for something this simple. He is just working to improve his cad and cam skills if it was actual production data thn you need it. This is just for fun. There is more data on that sheet than what you usually get anyways 🤷♂️.
I really like all of your content. Both the manual machining and the CNC. Keep it up, don't pay any attention to the wrinkled old prunes whining in the comments.
This is the first machining channel I started watching about 6 years ago. I like watching Adam work. I am curious how much production work Adam is actually doing these days. He used to machine 6’ long cylinders now he makes 6” long bolts. There is a lot expensive equipment in this shop - it just doesn’t seem to get much use. I personally like videos with fabrication and repairs he used to do.
We all have to evolve and adept at some time i been watching his vids for almost 10 years and theres so much you can learn in machining different kinds of parts never close your mind to any possibility of learning something new even if its not your cup of tea
or at the beginning! or anytime, actually sometimes i watch 5 or 6 of your earlier vids instead silly tv programs for an evening's entertainment/education rock on
I've learned there is never a one-off. Having a drawing of past work (hardcopy or softcopy) will help you when you get a request for this part or something similar in the future. Taking the time to make a dimensioned drawing has prevented a lot of mistakes that wasted time and materials.
Looks to have a similar thread cutting gearbox to my Colchester Student 1800, very easy to use. The caveat you should have added when you were checking for burrs with your finger, is that it helps to have finger tips like a Blacksmiths apron when doing that
Nice job sir. The part looks great and will certainly do the job. Also, great work on the video production. I always enjoy the close up stills too. Thanks!!
I have a Lodge and Shipley Lathe that has a taper attachment on it but it is missing the piece that locks the taper attachment to the ways. I would try and make one for it but I have no idea what it looks like. If you would have a picture that would be great. Great informative video, thanks for doing it.
months ?? a ordinary bolt or all thread would have sufficed to use it to make one on the lathe its for . its just a stand of with a bose to rotate on when not in use to safe wear on the gear. the bose is to safe wear on the rotating . so if you dont rotate it cause its in use during that one job you could just bolt it on noting critical aslong as the gear is in nice contact with the leadscrew and when threading you start on the right numbers and if unsure what numbers use always the same. or dont disengage the halfnut 😉

Great Video Adam, Just wondered why you threaded it with single point threading rather than using a die? Maybe just for our edification I suppose and you already had it in the lathe but surely threading the ends with a die as the final step would have been quicker and more accurate?
A die will not cut the full thread depth all the way to the thread relief groove. There will be some degree of taper in the threads, which unless you do some sketchy things will not allow the nut to fully seat. Is it quicker? Sure. Is it "more accurate" when considering machinist standards? Absolutely not. For a hobbyist, using a die would likely be fine.

Correct. You need a lathe to build a lathe. The nice thing for the hobbyist is that you can often use a smaller and less precise lathe to build a bigger/ more precise lathe. Also, many different tools in the hobbyist shop can be used as improvised lathes if you only have one "real lathe" and have a problem.
Great video as always, Adam! May I suggest that you do a video on how you have drawn this part in Fusion? As there are so many ways of doing it, I'd really be interested to understand how you did it. I think that would be of interest for many of us!
When you were cutting and machining the heavy tubing for the weld shop, did they figure out why his bandsaw blade was snapping. I'm guessing that he was using the wrong blade set. You need the teeth further apart when cutting thicker materials. We had the same type of bandsaw where I used to work. We never noticed the supplier sent us a different blade that we usually ordered. The teeth were too close together and the steel had no room between the teeth before they exited the cut and would snap off the teeth. They would work fine on thinner materials.
Hi Adam, The part fit great, thanks for helping me out
@@jeffaddison6332 hey Jeff, I operate a 20” L&S standard at work and I love it. We also have a 36” Light pattern lathe that is a real beast!
Great video Adam, reminds me of your older videos. I love the manual stuff. Thanks.
Split screen is a very nice touch!
Really like the close up views and the split screens - works a treat!
Just another comment to say how much I enjoyed the split screen. All these years and I’ve never seen how you operated the controls. 👍🏻
I always enjoy watching manual machine work. I work around cnc lathes and mills daily. At home I have antique machines and actually love to feel the part I'm making. You can feel the cutter and the metal cutting. And as far as accuracy, you can do both ways just as acute if you know your machine 😉.

Great Saturday Abom! Nothing compares to old style manual "Grandad Booth" machining.
Great video Adam, good tip about working the fusion work into an existing project! Kevin definitely is a huge help!

No tolerance specs though

For my own learning what calculations or rule of thumb for depth and width of thread relief and also radius.
Great Job...........now CNC it just for practice
Great Video Adam,
Just wondered why you threaded it with single point threading rather than using a die? Maybe just for our edification I suppose and you already had it in the lathe but surely threading the ends with a die as the final step would have been quicker and more accurate?
A die will not cut the full thread depth all the way to the thread relief groove. There will be some degree of taper in the threads, which unless you do some sketchy things will not allow the nut to fully seat. Is it quicker? Sure. Is it "more accurate" when considering machinist standards? Absolutely not.
For a hobbyist, using a die would likely be fine. For a professional, who normally is measuring things to 0.001" or even 0.0001", it would be an insult to their profession.
Adam, great video. Really thought the split screen during the threading portion was very beneficial to me.
Salut Adam

Il y a 1 mois, j'ai réalisé une pièce qui ressemble beaucoup à celle-ci. C'est une vis de 10 (pas métrique) d'un côté et qui fait axe de l'autre, elle tient le sélecteur de vitesses de ma moto.
A l'origine, elle possède un six pans creux côté sélecteur, ce n'est pas simple à réaliser.
J'ai donc fait une pièce qui possède un six pans de 17 mm au milieu comme celle que tu viens de réaliser.
Les cotes sont assez précises chez yamaha, la partie axe du sélecteur doit faire 11;98 mm (!) et l'autre côté est à 1/10 mm près car le côté vis passe dans un sielnt-block dont le diamètre est exactement 10 mm....
J'ay suis arrivé et je n'ai plus de jeu avec mon sélecteur.
Mais, j'ai rencontré le même problème pour faire le pas de vis avec la pointe du tour et la taille des outils.
C'est vrai que j'avais coupé trop juste en longueur ma pièce avant usinage.
Pour résoudre ce problème, j'ai trouvé une petite ralonge intéressante montée dans le mandrin de la poupée.
J'ai pris un centreur de taraud télescopique qui possède une pointe fine de 4 mm de diamètre. J'avais ainsi assez de place pour ramener l'outil à fileter au départ.
J'ai fait plusieurs pices, les suivantes je les ai coupées plus longues et j'ai coupé le bout à la fn de l'usinage.
Mais j'ai rencontré ce problème plusieurs fois, surtout quand on ne dispose que d'un seul morceau de fer tout juste de la bonne longueur !
Peut-être existe-t-il des pointes fones encore plus longues ?

Need to have Abby approve your drawings...
6:14 Why don’t used the TN or VN inserts? That can solve this problem .
Those triangle inserts will fit right in next to a live center.
The hobby machinist issue. You need a lathe to fix a lathe.
Correct. You need a lathe to build a lathe. The nice thing for the hobbyist is that you can often use a smaller and less precise lathe to build a bigger/ more precise lathe.

Is that a Walter threading/grooving tool? Also the 431 inserts did good without the live center on the 1st turn.
