This is astounding!!! I am a machinist and a machine designer and if I didn't see this with my own eyes I wouldn't believe it possible to cut parallel flats in a lathe like this. What you have here is awesome. Beautiful job.
Take note This Old Tony … This is how you turn a cube (and many other polygons) on a lathe. By far one of the coolest things I’ve seen done ever, Well done!
It's a great concept if all you have available is a lathe. ToT uses either CNC to cut polygons or a dividing head on a mill to get precise flats on more important stuff. These all end up concave on the flats, which would probably be okay for most uses that don't require much torque.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapperi don't think they do . . . it seems to me they *ought to*, but it looked like they end up flat. the sharpies do show curvature, but i think that's a timing vs. diameter issue.
@@uncletito8435 The geometry involved will always produce a slight curvature, it's a lot more exaggerated with the sharpie as you're seeing more of the arc outside of the intended synch with the part being marked. When it's machining a flat, all you're seeing is a small sector of that arc which makes it seem flatter. This could be improved by increasing the radius, and at some point you just have to ask yourself...how flat do those flats really need to be for the application? I mean, a cutting head with the radius of a planet would produce a cut flat enough that most metrologists wouldn't be able to measure without some extremely precise instruments, if that...but it's neither practical nor necessary. In some cases it might even be preferable to end up with a slight rebating of the flats, depending on the tool being used.
@@Skinflaps_Meatslapperi don't think so. you'd have to do some fancy math to show one way or the other. ain't noone got time for that shite. i don't think it's a 1:1 relationship between cutting points and point of contact with the material. it's more like how only prime numbers are used for gear tooth count in automotive differentials. or. have parts in hand to actually measure. if you look at the reflections off the flats they really don't seem to indicate any curvature at all. that's just from this video, though, so that might not mean much. as much as metrology can quantify a measurement, any machinist worth their cutting fluid can look at a surface and get a pretty good idea of what that surface represents, much less a metrologist.
@@uncletito8435 It doesn't take fancy math, unless geometry is considered fancy I guess. The only time it won't end up curved with a machine like this is if you changed the relative speed of the cutter to the material as it moved around in an arc, allowing the cutter to traverse a longer dwell time in the beginning and end of the cut, and a shorter dwell time in the center. The radial movement will always end up cutting a concave surface given that they're both rotating at a fixed speed relative to each other. You can reduce the concavity with additional diameter, but no matter how large you make it there will still be concavity there. In concept it's like saying .0001" is the same as 0" because they're effectively the same and you can't visually see it. That may be true for a whole laundry list of applications, but it still doesn't change the fact that it's not 0"...not even .000000001" is equal to 0", even though it's not attainable by human beings except maybe in lab conditions, and probably not even then. A solid grasp of geometry would tell you this; you can't scale away a tolerance, it'll just get relatively smaller. You could get away with calling these surfaces effectively flat, IF the diameter of the cutter was sufficiently large enough, but it's not even close to large enough. If you took a finished surface and placed it on a surface plate, you'd see daylight in the center. Double or triple the diameter, you'd still see it. That daylight won't go away until you get out of diameters measured in inches and start getting into diameters measured in yards. Even then, that concavity will still be measurable.

I used machines that used this principle in the late 80's when I was an apprentice at Desoutters, they were used to make planetary gears for air tools, they are nothing new. Love how people post videos not using coolant, not marking out properly, no deburring, no-one seems to measure anything....
Absolutely incredible. If I hit the lottery, I'm gonna hire you and pay you whatever you want to Mentor me. You come up with the coolest stuff. Honest. Thanks. Eric in Kissimmee.
A smaller diameter cutter cutting a decent size material with the 8 side profile could make some nice knobs with concave sides like you might see on control valves ;)
Geometry really is amazing, and your lathe addon can be an incredibly powerful tool- To say nothing of the time saved in switching between lathe and mill. Wish I could get my favorite YT creators to see this (Cutting Edge Engineering [Australia]), this seems like something RIGHT up Kurtis' alley
I am so glade to see you putting a PTO guard on that. One of the worst breakdowns I've had on our farm was from a wiring harness and hydraulic hoses somehow getting caught on a PTO and ripping out of the machine I was operating.(PTO stands for Power Take Off and is driven by the tractors engine. Considering the fact that some of those tractors can be over 100 horsepower...... need I say more?) I would look at covering the universal joint as that is also somewhere that things could get caught.
Seen this in other videos but great that you showed us how to do it. Thankyou. And now there should be over 1.9 million lathes around the world with this attachment
To remove the need to check for progress every now and then, make a strobe light syncked to chuck rpm. The piece being procecced will seem to be stationary during operation.
This is just insanely cool! I wish you were still doing your voice overs to get some insight into how you figure out this stuff, but like Ca Lem it is good to just watch masters at work. Your channel was the first I saw that made me want to learn machining! Best wishes for the holiday season
The best I've seen! So ingenious. Finally a talent that doesn't just like to hear himself talk. Very refreshing and very impressive! I can't afford a CNC. I want to see what's possible on my old lathe. Thank you!
You've truly outdone yourself this time; if it were up to me I'd be looking into the "patent pending" side of things just incase. *Well done* concerning every aspect of this build and its design. Merry CHRISTmas as well.
and a nod to health safety too, all wall fitting guards, iven on the drive shaft thing, very well implemented work, is the a new idea, or was it more making stand machine into up market one anyway like video, no flash light, stuff, just the contents, that all that's needed?

I always thought it is not possible to do such polygon cuts on lathe... that too all sorts like 4s, 5s, 6s and even Octa...!!! I watched the video without understanding anything much but totally awestruck with your work...!!! Amazing work.
On the channel of the Russian blogger "Мехамозг" there was a more detailed video about this method of machining. Moreover, he carved a full-fledged dagger with this method.
*I am truly enriched by your ingenuity & ability to adapt your technology to surpass its ability vastly. If I wasn't retired I would likely give this a shot. Masterful.*
I used a polygon box driven off of the tool post. It used wheels that touched the o/d to drive the thing, and the cutting tool moved towards the o/d and back again. Exactly the same result. Round bar made into hexagon. It was a very clever design. Ruston Gas Turbines Lincoln, is where I was trained. Back in the 1970s, so it's nothing new. Your version I've never seen before., but very clever.
there's a range that you can do with each cutter, depending how flat you need the flats, larger and smaller sizes with make concave or convex but in many cases is still more than fine for a wrench. you could also have attachments for making internal and external splines. or even a gear hobbing tool, those require more tooling selection for different sizes. i do stuff like this with live tooling on a cnc lathe.
Okay... I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the box but that's just caused me a whole lot of questions, the biggest one is 'how?'. I'm not a machinist but looking at the way the lathe.... got it.... I think. The lathe's running in reverse so the part feed runs clockwise against the cutter running anticlockwise. With the tool offset by x amount the cutter only contacts the part for a portion of it's rotation with a 1:1 ratio. I think.... Very cool, seriously interesting. I've not had my brain so focussed on something for a long time. And I still might be wrong.... instant sub from me. Your awesome
There was such a device on the Mehamozg channel earlier. ruclips.net/video/SffBNPlxHjo/видео.html This version is also very functional and technologically advanced.
@@Satana_inc ну очевидно кто раньше выложил тот и автор , а тот кто позже вор Ладно бы ссылку закрепил , нет в этом ничего такого все у друг друга воруют идеи разница лишь в исполнении.
I like the nail you used when drill pressing the metal plate to keep it from sling shooting. There are too many youtubers I've seen that use a drill press and either don't clamp their piece down or use something like a screw to keep it from moving.
So other machinists just joke that they don't have their square endmills on hand to machine square holes, and you go and do it? Also, can you use this (or similiar) method to create square holes too?
nah sadly a round cutter can cut an outside square, because when it moves linearly, it makes a linear cut. But internally the minimum "corner radius" will always be based on the diameter of the cutter. You have make a round hole then broach it or scrape it to shape. No other way around it. However, there ARE techniques for cutting odd shaped holes, and a custom square endmill might actually do this... Like a trilobe hole maker...
Hadn't even considered this could be done. Outstanding, much respect!! Question is could you build a cutting head that would cut polyganol holes instead of using a broach? Thank you for sharing this and your amazing talents, your tig work is superb!
I am not a machinest but I have taken a few machine shop classes over the years so I kind of understand what is going on. First you removed the timing pulley and replaced it by a gear driven transmission (nicely done esp the plexi safety guard. You use this to drive a rotating cutter head that you fabricated. Then you created a series of devices that drive the cutter in such a way as to create a variety of hex configurations. In essence you turned the lathe into an mill that allows you to mill all the flats, all at once as long as you have the right hex tool in the drive shaft. Impressive. How close am I machinsts out there. I am a big fan of the CEE YT channel of Kurtis in Aus. Now I have to subscribe to this one as well.
For most of the video I was thinking why would you want the cutter spinning the same speed as the part. This was amazing after I saw how it works! It’s too bad you basically need a whole machine shop to make the tool instead of just the lathe (which is all I have)
@@benjaminwetter3285 I’ve seen some of his vids, and yes that is true. I would have to make a milling attachment though (not saying I won’t) because buying one for my lathe is too expensive
OOOOOOKAY I watched this whole thing from the start not knowing anything about what this was even for or what the point was or anything, and then right at the end, boom magic, that was awesome.
@@blacklion79 yes, my respects to the author for his work, but he could have left a link to the mekhamozg channel, this video was released there a long time ago
@@Liutov There are A TON information about polygonal turning / cutting on lathe, including some rather old engineering / methal working books (and short article in wikipedia). Are you sure, authors got this idea from referenced channel, and that authors know about this Russian channel at all?!
A small detail that may be of interest. You have made a slip joint driveshaft, which usually use a spring-loaded slip pin to enable quick attach / detach both ends instead of having to insert and tighten a stud / bolt. Overall a seriously impressive project and it takes a bit to impress me
I've always thought I had above average spatial reasoning, but I had to slow this video down and watch it a few times to wrap my head around the geometry 😅
The shapes machined by this process are not flat. They have a slight curve. The original idea behind this process is that these are flats to apply a spanner.
You sir are absolutly a master with your machine. There is nothing new here just look at all the attachments for the old WWII machines like Monarch,the crown jewel , the cincept is similar to attaching the indexing head to your mill to cut a scroll. Lots of math involved to get the right change gears and all. You know what I mean ,this sort of strategy was common before CNC spoiled us and took away some of our creative thoughts (IMHOP). But what does amaze me Sir is that nobody commented on your skills with the machine. I literally hit the floor watching one of the very few TOOL MAKERS on you tube. Loved the way on your finishing passes the hand champher you did there cant teach that to these youngsters and how you filed the top of the threads lightly and hit them with the file card NICE ! It's those little unnoticed tidbits I observed in your work that go unnoticed that are the difference between a true MASTER of there trade. I Hole heartedly applaud your work it was a pleasure watching some one who knows about the suttle little things that do matter in the end From one Master to another that sir was the most incredible show of skill I have ever witnessed in a video.

On the channel of the Russian blogger "Мехамозг" there was a more detailed video about this method of machining. Moreover, he carved a full-fledged dagger with this method.
author of the idea " Mehamozg " stolen idea....
Μπράβο!!! μεγάλε μάστορα, τι ωραία πατέντα έφτιαξες, τι ωραία εργαλεία έκανες, very very good Bravo!!!
What kind of sorcery is this........ this guy is amazing
Check out Mehamozg on RUclips. He's Russian so unless you speak Russian good luck but he did this a long time ago
This man deserves a Nobel Prize for his skills and craftsmanship!
Он всего лишь своровал идею у другого блоггера.
except, he did not invented this at all, this si common attachement on machines from the beginning of 20th century and most likely way before.
Brilliant, dude! Really fantastic work!!! 😃
Crazy what your machine can do!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Merry Christmas and happy new year!

I used a polygon box driven off of the tool post.
It used wheels that touched the o/d to drive the thing, and the cutting tool moved towards the o/d and back again.
Exactly the same result.
Round bar made into hexagon.
It was a very clever design.
Ruston Gas Turbines Lincoln, is where I was trained.
Back in the 1970s, so it's nothing new.
Your version I've never seen before., but very clever.
Is this able to do multiple sizes of each shape by varying the offset or do you need different sized cutting bits?
there's a range that you can do with each cutter, depending how flat you need the flats, larger and smaller sizes with make concave or convex but in many cases is still more than fine for a wrench. you could also have attachments for making internal and external splines. or even a gear hobbing tool, those require more tooling selection for different sizes. i do stuff like this with live tooling on a cnc lathe.
Okay... I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the box but that's just caused me a whole lot of questions, the biggest one is 'how?'. I'm not a machinist but looking at the way the lathe.... got it.... I think. The lathe's running in reverse so the part feed runs clockwise against the cutter running anticlockwise. With the tool offset by x amount the cutter only contacts the part for a portion of it's rotation with a 1:1 ratio. I think....
Very cool, seriously interesting. I've not had my brain so focussed on something for a long time. And I still might be wrong.... instant sub from me. Your awesome
There was such a device on the Mehamozg channel earlier. ruclips.net/video/SffBNPlxHjo/видео.html This version is also very functional and technologically advanced.

Wow. Super impressive.Takes a better spatial understanding than I can muster to dream up something like that.
Magic pure Magic.
I like the nail you used when drill pressing the metal plate to keep it from sling shooting. There are too many youtubers I've seen that use a drill press and either don't clamp their piece down or use something like a screw to keep it from moving.
So other machinists just joke that they don't have their square endmills on hand to machine square holes, and you go and do it?
Also, can you use this (or similiar) method to create square holes too?
Yes a planetary gear set can do polygonal holes. Its nothing new to be honest.
nah sadly a round cutter can cut an outside square, because when it moves linearly, it makes a linear cut. But internally the minimum "corner radius" will always be based on the diameter of the cutter. You have make a round hole then broach it or scrape it to shape. No other way around it. However, there ARE techniques for cutting odd shaped holes, and a custom square endmill might actually do this... Like a trilobe hole maker...
@@dimitar4y one machinist pointed out another method is using EDM to create sharp inside corners.
@@Sara-L he's asking for a lathe method, doofus.
@@dimitar4y Please be civil.
This is by far the coolest thing I’ve seen this week.
Hadn't even considered this could be done. Outstanding, much respect!! Question is could you build a cutting head that would cut polyganol holes instead of using a broach? Thank you for sharing this and your amazing talents, your tig work is superb!
Bloody genius idea, I absolutely love it, bravo good sir 👏👏👏
That is one of the sweetest tools you've built yet! Very Kool!
Absolutely wonderful

I am not a machinest but I have taken a few machine shop classes over the years so I kind of understand what is going on. First you removed the timing pulley and replaced it by a gear driven transmission (nicely done esp the plexi safety guard. You use this to drive a rotating cutter head that you fabricated. Then you created a series of devices that drive the cutter in such a way as to create a variety of hex configurations. In essence you turned the lathe into an mill that allows you to mill all the flats, all at once as long as you have the right hex tool in the drive shaft. Impressive. How close am I machinsts out there. I am a big fan of the CEE YT channel of Kurtis in Aus. Now I have to subscribe to this one as well.
For most of the video I was thinking why would you want the cutter spinning the same speed as the part. This was amazing after I saw how it works! It’s too bad you basically need a whole machine shop to make the tool instead of just the lathe (which is all I have)
This tool is amazing, dont get me wrong, but you can just use a mill to square or hex cut with much cheaper tooling.
@@jwljwljwwwwl but would this be cheaper than buying a mill… I only have a lathe
Mehamozg makes it on a lathe only... Go check his channel
Edit: you'll need to turn on subtitles
@@1259bogs I think it was @InheritanceMachining who said: "a lathe is just a mill tipped over"
@@benjaminwetter3285 I’ve seen some of his vids, and yes that is true. I would have to make a milling attachment though (not saying I won’t) because buying one for my lathe is too expensive
OOOOOOKAY I watched this whole thing from the start not knowing anything about what this was even for or what the point was or anything, and then right at the end, boom magic, that was awesome.
You made me want to buy a lathe machine !!!

@@blacklion79 yes, my respects to the author for his work, but he could have left a link to the mekhamozg channel, this video was released there a long time ago
@@Liutov There are A TON information about polygonal turning / cutting on lathe, including some rather old engineering / methal working books (and short article in wikipedia). Are you sure, authors got this idea from referenced channel, and that authors know about this Russian channel at all?!

So what?
i look at that the same way i look at real magic. “you’re a wizard ‘arry”.
i also love the way you modded your lathe and added a whole new feature.
A small detail that may be of interest. You have made a slip joint driveshaft, which usually use a spring-loaded slip pin to enable quick attach / detach both ends instead of having to insert and tighten a stud / bolt. Overall a seriously impressive project and it takes a bit to impress me
Magnifique travail -
I've always thought I had above average spatial reasoning, but I had to slow this video down and watch it a few times to wrap my head around the geometry 😅
The shapes machined by this process are not flat. They have a slight curve. The original idea behind this process is that these are flats to apply a spanner.
Out of curiosity, do you consider yourself a fabricator, engineer or even both?
None of the above
Metal Wizard, pretty sure that would be the title, this build was pretty amazing
An artist.
''metal whisperer''
If you put a boring bar where the cutter is, do you think you could cut the polygon on an inside diameter?
Now there's the idea.

I've seen that done on Swiss screw machines 30 years ago running at 20000 rpm. Still a good addition for a lathe.
You sir are absolutly a master with your machine.
There is nothing new here just look at all the attachments for the old WWII machines like Monarch,the crown jewel , the cincept is similar to attaching the indexing head to your mill to cut a scroll. Lots of math involved to get the right change gears and all. You know what I mean ,this sort of strategy was common before CNC spoiled us and took away some of our creative thoughts (IMHOP).
But what does amaze me Sir is that nobody commented on your skills with the machine.
I literally hit the floor watching one of the very few TOOL MAKERS on you tube. Loved the way on your finishing passes the hand champher you did there cant teach that to these youngsters and how you filed the top of the threads lightly and hit them with the file card NICE ! It's those little unnoticed tidbits I observed in your work that go unnoticed that are the difference between a true MASTER of there trade. I Hole heartedly applaud your work it was a pleasure watching some one who knows about the suttle little things that do matter in the end
From one Master to another that sir was the most incredible show of skill I have ever witnessed in a video. WELL DONE
🍻👊
