Walker-Turner Drilling Head Adaptor Plate Part 1: Lathe Work
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2021
- This project will be a 2 part video on an adapter plate I machined that goes on a Walker-Turner radial arm drill press that belongs to Tab Adams @crosscutvintagedesigns
This is the part that allows thew drilling head to swivel on the ram of the machine. It was accidentally dropped and broken. I'll use a new solid piece of ductile iron and machine a brand new piece. Video one will include all of the lathe work involved. Part 2 will continue with all of the milling work.

Hey,
I have the same W/T radial arm drill press. It is truly a beast, couldn’t imagine having a shop without it, the table t-slots make clamping big work a snap. When I bought mine from the Navy as scrap, the quill drive shaft was destroyed. I called Delta, who owned the Walker Turner brand through acquisitions. I got the parts dept and explained what I was looking for and the parts guy said hold on, the phone came back with a different guy. He asked for the serial number, which I gave, he immediately said that serial number range was delivered to the Navy in the 1950 something, and confirmed that I was looking for the quill drive shaft, he asked do you want MT-3 for a Jacob’s 33 or something else. I said the 33, he said I think I have 3, let me go check. This was all off the top of his head, he came back and said he did have 3 and how many did I want. Didn’t want to be greedy and only got one, he said “let me check the price”, said the last update was in the 60’s so the price would be about $15.00 plus shipping. I got the part wrapped in cosmoline and vapor paper, wrapped in layers of oil cloth. I bet it hadn’t seen the light of day since the 50’s. One of my favorite tools.
Adam I'd love to see more of your layout drawings when you do projects and jobs. That is an art in and of itself. Keep up the great work!
I like the Lars avatar
Adam, I agree I found myself wanting to know more about how you layed out the part on paper
I see im not the only one
I know you had a comment last week that said your introductory music was a problem, but I ,for one ,always liked it. And I , for one , missed it this week.
It's become a signature music clip for his channel for sure, along with the 3 generation family photo at the end. Episodes aren't the same with out these 2 ingredients.....and the black thumb. Lol
@@shannonstratton3164 He has only ever shown the family picture at the end of SNS videos. Not sure why there was no intro music.
I'm not a machinist but I love to watch you work. I am fascinated with all your machines and procedures. You are a wonderful teacher by explaining how and why you do what you do. I've really learned a lot about this important skill. I am an "old school" kind of guy so I really enjoy manual processes rather than CNC.
Best machinist on youtube. Wish we could get more of this type of content.
AVE turned me toward your videos a few years back and I'm glad he did as I truly enjoyed watching your content. Keep up the good work!
19:30 that grooving tool seems to work way better than I expected. Tbh my first instinct was to just go to the rotary table, since the long holes are going to be milled on it anyway, but that tool impressed me.
I just want to see that i love to look your videos, you are an excellent teacher as well as a very good craftsman. Greetings from Thailand.
Wow. That bandsaw leaves a better finish than some of the lathe facing cuts I've done.
Great work man, thanks again for making this part for me!
I hope you put the Abom stamp on the part Adam. Posterity demands it😄
This is one of RUclipss BEST vids of the year as far as I am concerned. This is EXACTLY why I have been watching ALL of your vids for two years. Nice project, well narrated, moves along at a great pace. Very interesting to witness the project from sketch to processing. Can't wait for the finish. Exceptional work. I am a woodworker, not a machinist, so I enjoy watching a craftsman in another trade sharing his thought process and tips along the way. Thank you very much.
The rest of us dig through the garage looking for stuff, he just makes it
Adam, your an inspiration to the younger generation with your attention to detail, accuracy, cleanliness and safety, I just love your work ( an Old retired Millwright from England) stay safe fella😷🤜🤛🛠️

Lathe projects are definitely my favorite type of video.
Great job Adam, brings back memories of my 45 years of being a machinist/ tool maker. I do miss it......some what
Enjoy all your videos Adam, but I will say IMO this is the best content on this channel in a long time. I know you really enjoy this type of work as well. Excellent job in every way. Thanks. I do quite a bit of machining both at work and at home and following your content the last several years has helped me so much.
Hard to believe how well Adam's tools cut. I need to to go to tool school.
Quality machining, commentary and filming. Thanks
Saw cut finish was beautiful...! Just a few tweaks....! Great Job...!
These are my favorites, when Adam helps out a fellow craftsman.
Wow, that bandsaw makes a lovely cut!
Canadian made I believe.
Somebody is having fun 👍👍👌 great job 🔥 Ken Machine NC 😊
Doesn't it piss you off with all these experts passing judgement i wish i knew 1/50th what you do and know, keep up the excellent work.
content like this is why I watch this channel, THANK YOU.
You explain yourself very well I recently found your videos and they are very interested I’d love to learn Machining some day just for a hobby. I’ve been a lifelong metal worker I’ve never tried machining
Adam, thanks so much for demonstrating the different ways a part can be machined, and the different cuts that can be made with a lathe. This is wonderful.
Nice piece of work, I was amazed during the slow motion capture when cutting the internal relief on how much fine dust is given off.
Nice work Adam, a pleasure to see manual machining up close! Looking forward to the milling!
Adam - Watching you work the Lathe is like watching an artist create paint -- you are truly a gifted craftsperson.
No intro music? I love your intro music! Thought my headphones crap out 😄
sheesh , reading the comments is funny as ....everyone`s an armchair expert huh .hehe. Good work as always Adam, can`t wait for the next instalment !
A solid video Adam. Really great to see the basics explained with context and detail👍 Top job dude.
Wow, that bandsaw is incredible. The surface finish looks great
Really enjoy this instructive lathe work Adam
A cup of coffee, with her homemade biscuits, your video, a sunny Sunday and what could go wrong.
You sir, are a master! I know very little about machining, but I love watching you create and repair things.
Letting the chips fall what may I find most appealing.! Thank you for sharing the update.!
Thanks Adam. Nice work.
Simply gorgeous work as always.
Thank you very much.
Nice video as always.
Stay safe and healthy.
Kind regards from Germany.
Love the show
This guy by far is master of his craft.
I just completed restoration on my Walker-Turner radial arm drill. Great tool. Installed a vfd, which really made that 55 year old motor a new machine.
Good choice to use ductile iron, much less brittle than cast iron. Enjoyed video as usual.
The difference between "gray" and "ductile" iron showed in the swarf Adam produced. He had a good number of almost steel like chips and a little powder. "Gray" iron would have produced very few distinct chips and LOTS of powder. The difference between the graphite nodules in "ductile" the and graphite flakes in "gray" is pretty stark.
I'm curious why they didn't just use mild steel?
Excellent job
I loved the ending. Great job.
nice project
Awesome work Adam. Great video. Super smooth job. Thank you for sharing.
Great job!
Wow what a nice sawcut!
Sehr gut gemacht!! Mach weiter so!!👍👍👍
Genau!!!
11 thumbs down as I watch and I am wondering what they don't like about it... bless their hearts...
If it's any like me it's from watching in bed 😅 I've dropped before gone back to a video and found a thumb down only quick to rectify it ofc :)
Great video,,,,,like your quick review of each process. Quality makes it a pleasure to watch,,thank you !
Hello Adam,
Cool show tonight... very relaxing watching the turning... See you on part two.
Take care.
Paul,,
Great work thank you for the step by step tutorial. Can't wait for the next video!
beautiful cut from the saw!
You are The Man of Chips, Thanks
Great job Adam, awesome camera work too!! Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👋👋👍👍
Greetings from (the metric) Germany. Really enjoying your Work! Measuring in inches takes getting used to.
I love watching this video on how you made this park very interesting
That is a happy little part 😊😊😊
Was that said in a Bob Ross voice?
@@daveash9572 you bet ya!
OUTSTANDING, thanks for the video😎😎
Thanks Adam.
Those closeups are so close I can almost feel the chips lodging in my beard. Great camera work, Adam.
Very good.
Thanks for sharing!!!
I can appreciate the manual lathe work you do on your equipment as I worked a very small lathe for years with no DRO or much measuring equipment. The tool set up was simple and done by feel mostly. I miss using the manual lathe. It’s what I learned on. Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷
My about tab has info which will help you stay safe! Stay safe!
Nicely done
That is a gorgeous band saw
Good job! Nice video as always!👍
Good video damn that saw cuts clean! Keep up the good work!!
That ductile iron sure machines nicely. Thanks for sharing Adam.
I am sure that is Dura-Bar. Excellent material.
Отличная работа!
Thanks Adam
The broken end of your milling tool looks like it would make for a good can-opener. Love your videos!
Thanks again for the video
Always love your videos thanks for sharing! I probably would have become a machinist had youtube and you making these videos had been around when I was younger.
Amazing work Adam keep it up 👍
LOL!! id be there for 6 months trying to straighten that iron out in that lathe, you have it mastered great vid Abom
That is one nice saw!
Nice work Adam
enjoyed this one
A nice new part to replace the old brittle casting. Looks like a winner in my book. Beautiful Job Adam. I'm sure the owner will be satisfied with the results. Just lack the mill work.
Take Care and Stay Safe.
Bob
wow! beautiful cut. such skills @@
great work Adam ! Great choice on the tooling .. I use those as well on cast and they work awesome .. ENJOYED !!
Always love to see trepanning, you don't see it too often
Nice work
Nice work. Another plus to using those brazed carbide tools is that you can re-sharpen them, which is a money saver over having to replace expensive inserts once the edge is gone.
you can sharpen inserts, too.
@@CM-xr9oq Agreed but you lose the original geometry that the manufacturers have spent a lot of time and money perfecting.
This Wyoming guy luvs ur videos!
Thanks sent from Wapak.
Abom, Nice work as always.
Very nice
nice shots you got on this one.
Trabalho é fantástico como sempre, não tem como não seguir assistindo e acompanhando!!!
Abraço aqui do Brasil!!!
missed the lathe vids :) God job as always Adam. Looking forward to the next one
I can't believe how satisfying it is to watch the parts being indicated in!!
This is going to be one of the few vids of yours that don't put me to sleep. Idk why but the sound of iron being machined isn't as soothing as other metals.
Nice meat and potatoes project. Enjoyable knowing your customer gets to watch his part get machined on RUclips.
Nice work Adam 👍
After 5 years, my brother's back at work - he's doing pretty much the exact same job in the same building - but for a different company ! Being a daily commuter and keeping the car off the street, means bringing it in and shutting the tatty wooden gates. For over a year, these infrequently used gates have been propped shut with bricks ! During his first day at work yesterday, I made an effort to do away with the bricks and fix the bolting mechanism - and that meant some fixtures on the ground for the bolt to extend into in between. So it's 32 years since I did any electric welding. This time using a welder I've not used before and welding rods I don't remember - working on outdoor metal having a good layer of rust ! Being flat on the ground, there was nothing to clamp the 'negative' terminal to - so I found a bit of angle iron with a bright end on it and clamped to that. With the bright end near the rusty stuff on the ground, I used that to strike an arc to tck-weld the angle iron to the ground - purely to provide something to clamp the negative to ! To top off my difficulties, I was welding thin metal to thick metal. The result is far from pretty but at least functional !
Outstanding. Carry on...
Having me afternoon pint ..Enjoying !1Cheers!;-)!!
