No frills great content. I'm very impressed with your lathe bed extension. I can hear/see you've tons of shop experience. Sub'd. Catching up to do. Cheers Tony
we run the steady rest the best it will run then center drill while adjusting the steadiest to center, then turn a pad , re center drill or best it to taper with the compound
@@theessexhunter1305 thanks, I hope some of it is interesting or useful. I wish I could make the videos a little nicer, but it will have to do for now.
I think it doesn’t technically count as a cats head since I think a cats head is for non-circular parts. Bravo for know cats head. Not common knowledge even in the machining world.
@@engineerwrecker8153 I have always known 'Cathead' and 'Spider' as the same thing......either way the device can be used to provide a support collar for round or out of round workpieces.

your piece would work well on a square or out of round part
Just added a sub as this channel looks v good.

Fascinating setup! What in the world would you be machining that would require turning a 17-foot-long chunk of metal?!
@@mxm650 lots of things, but in my world mostly marine propeller shafts. I have made a bit of an answer video also. Thanks for commenting.
@@OgiveBC Yes, marine prop shafts are usually the longest common components I've ever had to mount in the lathe
Toolmakers make tools, that is what we do..
