Your skills are unbelievable, and your videos are great! I have learned a lot from watching them. I do wish that you would mention your tool speeds and feeds as you do the operations. Again, great job you are amazing.
If I had to guess RPM, I'd say he's just using the normal formula from the book. Give or take a bit, because you usually have to slow down when using a dovetail cutter. For feeds, he probably couldn't say because he's hand cranking. But that too is probably close to the book. By book I mean The Machinery's Handbook, or Machinist's Ready Reference. Both are worth buying, but the Ready Reference is less expensive. You can also download PDFs of Speeds and Feeds charts along with Tap and Drill charts, etc. Also worth printing out and laminating to avoid having to Google them every time you need them. Have a good one.
He talked about in the last/previous video. About how small soft parts get ripped out of vises at their usually recommended speeds because they cannot be gripped tight enough in the vise. So the answer was to slow down the speed and the feed, and reduce cutter size. (ed. In other words, set your machine to "scale speeds.")
The problem he is going to encounter is the 40 pitch lead screw. That means each rotation of the handle generates 25 thou feed. So that is his base unit. So his choice is either a 25 division direct measure or a 50 division diametrical. Either one is ludicrous on a 1/2" diameter Dial! He might have to drop back to 100th measure, put 5 divisions.
@@zumbazumba1 Sure, since he is using a 5-40 lead screw the cross slide moves in 1/40 of an inch for each rotation. One inch divided by 40 = 0.025" per revolution. So, (D)istance moved per revolution equals 1 divided by (p)itch. D=1/p. Since the movement is towards the center of the rotating workpiece, that movement directly effects the radius of the workpiece. We usually measure the Diameter, this radial change has double the affect diameter. One rotation of the cross feed screw produces 0.050" reduction in the workpiece. That is why some cross slide dials are "Diametrical" measure as opposed to a "Direct" measure. I have a Clausing 6309 which has a 1/2"-10 cross feed screw, the dial is marked with 100 graduations, I have a "Direct" measuring dial. If I rotate the cross feed one rotation (100 ticks), it reduces the workpiece by 0.200" diameter. The more interesting calculation is the distance between ticks on a round dial, given a dial diameter(d) and the number(n) of ticks that inter tick distance(td) can be calculated by: td = d*pi/n So, with different dial diameters: 1/2" 25 ticks = 0.06283" 50 ticks = 0.03142" 3/8" 25 ticks = 0.04909" 50 ticks = 0.02454" 1/4" 25 ticks = 0.03142" 50 ticks = 0.01571" My Clausing has a 2" dial, with 100 graduations, that equates to 0.06283 between ticks. There are three different length ticks (10,5,1) and numbered every 0.010". I have a hard time reading the dial. With that small lathe dial he is going to be lucky to just mark equally spaced ticks, let alone a complex numbered pattern. It will be fun to see what Joe accomplishes!
That is a work of art! My wife walked by and asked how big is that thing and why so small? I told her "because he can!" It is really going to be beautiful. I think I might have to order 2 kits LOL! One for trying and one for using!
@@joepie221 I’ll be honest, I really wanted one of these till I saw you working on it. I have nowhere near the skills or tooling for this. Have to live vicariously through you!
Always enjoy your sharing how you approach each machining exercise. It truly is worth the time to spend thinking about how is the best way to get to where you want to be. The little hiccup with the lead screw interference was one of those moments where you realize how much every little thing you do effects all the rest of the finished piece. Thanks for showing that.
Good day Joe, How odd to see you on a Monday and this early in the day, Grade 8 is likin that my friend, LOL. What a pretty, beauty, stunning wee thing that is. Thanks a bunch Joe. What a great way to start my week. Take care eh ! ! !
That’s awesome Joe. I’m still making scrap metal with my machine. Aluminum is too soft for me. It feels delicate. Steel is much more forgiving. I really appreciate these videos. When the chip exceeds the grip the part will slip. I used that one the other day. Less explosions now. Thanks Joe.
I'm really appreciating the obvious extra effort you've been applying to the quality of these videos (on top of the rest), from super better audio quality to fast forwarding at the right times to move it along for operations we've already learned the reasons for. Great job, friend. Saweetness. It's been quite a trip from the upside down tool to thread away from the chuck, which sure made my life and work better, but these are a lot more fun to watch. Kudos.
Its obvious you look at the drawings and see thinks to improve on, things that most probably would never pickup. This project is amazing Joe! Thanks for sharing you time and talents.
Hi Joe, with nothing around it, it could be from any lathe, but when you have something to give scale, it's incredibly small. It's a beautiful piece of work. I'm enjoying going for the journey with you. Greetings from Oz.
I was showing my sister some of this video. She had no idea how small the parts were till she saw your fingers touching the part. Hats off to ya Joe. Once again, nice video.
a thing of beauty indeed. Brilliant Joe. Very much appreciated and I'm watching the video in the evening rather than at 4 am! Which means I'm late watching it. Damn. regards from Wales, Joe
I enjoy all of your videos but this series is crazy!!!! I always new there were people with this kind of talent but this is the first time seeing it done. I thank you sir for that!!!! Amazing work. Thank you for sharing.
Lots of highly advanced and entertaining work. It's like looking at a review of an entire life during a few minutes. Never mind, lots of small and smart tips. A clamping small stuff lesson.
@@joepie221 Clamping is an obstacle to overcome until a working clamping idea pops up. I'm noticing that Your tips are influencing me more and more often. Thanks Joe!
I was asked why do I watch channels as this.......simple. I come to watch a Meticulous Machinist who loves his work and sharing what he knows. Then there is what he builds in way miniature size. Steam Engines and this a Metal Lathe. They came, They watched They left in awe.....I smiled.
I am amazed by your patience while doing this work. I would be going crazy at how precise the parts have to be. I hope someday to maybe attempt a model like this. Nice Job!
Just had to laugh at 13:40. 1 - 3/4 mm....can't get away from imperial can you? haha. Nice work on these tiny parts. I'll be re-making a dovetail slide for one of those deckel clone tool cutter grinders so all this information is getting stored in my brain. Cheers
So, someone needs to tell us all where the acceptable overlap "safe zone " is for imperial vs metric measurement. In my world, 4.500 is an imperial representation, yet numbers like that flow freely in the metric universe. If all of you metric hard core guys are going to split hairs, I say, come up with you own fractional divisions and leave the decimals out of it. Thoughts anyone????
@@joepie221 I think metric doesn't go deeper than half as a fraction. You'd say half a meter but never quarter meter. Weird unspoken rule I guess. Fractions aren't our strong suit. A weakness I know....
If you were cutting a cake up for the family you would cut it into fractions, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 for example or using a inch steel tape measure to find the length of a piece of wood you would probably be using feet, inches and fractions of an inch. When you are using tools like micrometers, verniers and digital readouts they all push you towards a decimal way of thinking and a steel tape with millimetres pushes you towards whole numbers of millimetres. We probably all interchange what we are doing with numbers like this all the time without putting much thought into it.
So much fun to watch an expert work. As I guy who learned the metric system by working on Dutch made equipment I found you saying 1&3/4 millimeters brought a smile to my face! 1.75mm, right?
Wait just a minute. 1.75 is an imperial decimal representation. You metric guys have to find some other way to express yourselves if you want to be special. :)
Beautiful piece! I must admit that, although I had a rough idea of how small this is, I only got the real notion when you moved the handle of the cross slide with the tip of you fingers! Awesome :-)
There cross slide design looks funny.....seems like it's on there backwards...I'm sure thats the way it's designed, but I think it would look better, turned around ?

You've set the bar so high, I can't see it, much less reach it.....FANTASTIC job.
Never say never. I've had a lot of practice.
Joe you are an inspiration to me, thanks, it's nice to see a grown man playing with toys, amazing toys!
A thing of beauty indeed!
The kit maker should reference your videos in their instructions 👍
We have actually discussed that possibility. PM Research is the supplier of this kit. They have a bunch of others too.
Thanks for the video. It is amazing to see someone work on such tiny parts.
Its almost harder to assemble than machine.....almost.
More super work Joe - like your logic with set up and teaks etc. Great seeing parts come together - 'tis a thing of beauty :).

Who thumbs down this? Amazing work, loving this series.
Probably someone who is getting interruptions from all the ads
There are always haters on YT comments. Best to ignore them.
Superb Joe, thank you. Perhaps now I can go back and watch the maths episode and I might begin to understand what you were teaching us.
Truly a thing of beauty - wow, what a fabulous result! Congrats on that.
That is defiantly a thing of beauty! Would it be too much to ask for laser cut graduations on the dial? 😁 Great work Joe!

So his choice is either a 25 division direct measure or a 50 division diametrical. Either one is ludicrous on a 1/2" diameter Dial! He might have to drop back to 100th measure, put 5 divisions.
