My largest 5C is also 1" so greatly appreciate the idea for making a step-up arbor. You always do a great job of not only machining but also explaining and documenting the project. You would make a great classroom teacher.
Always like watching a Master at work and your calm voice and attitude is superb. I heard a train in the back ground. I live in WV and thought I heard Cass railroad in the background.
Well done Keith. Even though I do not have any machinist tools, I always enjoy your skills and videos. My late godfather was a machinist for Bethlehem Steel many years ago, and also had a metal lathe and milling machine in his attic workshop. He made many parts for my dad's lawnmower repair shop.
Nicely done, Keith. It's good that you pointed out that not every measurement needs to be down to the micron. Sometimes a feature just needs to be there and not be perfect. I bet you just made someone very happy though! Hope you got home from NC smoothly and have some time to relax this weekend. Sincerely, Tom Z
Years ago, I considered starting the "Old Rebel Workshop" as a spin off of his "New Yankee Workshop". I guess I missed my chance though - now days that would be considered politically incorrect and I would probably be called a racist.
That was a nice project to watch. I was suprised to see how easily the part came off the arbor, after the thru. hole was put in, I thought maybe it would give some resistance coming off.
Great video! I noticed you chose to upper limit of the tolerance for the press fit. It said 1.120 (+0.005 -0.000). If that were me I would have felt a lot more secure going for something in the middle, say 1.123.
I was surprised that you didn't chuck that part up in your super spacer to drill the holes. But then, it never occurred to me that you also had the collet block you could use. Nice video of a small but interesting project.
Hi Keith Thank you for another excellent video - I really learn a lot from these. I wonder if you could do a 'laymans' video on Steel. I notice you use different types of steel you find at the museum and come up with approximate description. I have found Mild Steel and Hot Rolled steel to be the least desirable steels to work with as they seem gummy and leave poor finishes but am at a loss as to what would be the next in quality. I'm thinking a video just on some basics not elaborate. Thanks again Rod
I´m pretty sure you could have used the 1/2 function for the 5/8th division without a problem. On the left side your .500 edge finder´s center is .0625 left of the target spot, at the right flange it´s .0625 right of the target. Half of both, well centered, I think.
Good morning Keith! Well, that was an enjoyable two cups of coffee and a smoke. I wanted to ask if the finish on the part after bring cut down in the lathe was an optical illusion or was it really streaky? If so, why would that happen? Regards, Rich
As a long-time viewer, non-machinest I always enjoy your videos Keith. One question often comes to my mind. What determines when you use a lubricant for what material. It appears that lubrication is not usually needed when working cast iron or brass/bronze, but I noticed on this project you would sometimes use oil, and other times not. Is there a general rule of thumb when lubrication is needed? Does it vary with the cutter being used?
FYI, not Keith, and I understand you are not a machinist. Common lubricating oils do not usually make good cutting oils. Here is a primer on what it is all about: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_fluid
Generally speaking, I try to use a cutting oil when I am cutting steel and making moderate to heavy cuts. Sometimes on light cuts, I will not use oil. For cast iron and bronze, I tend to not use any cutting oil.
Good video all round Keith. Being from Scotland it always amuses me that you guys still work in fractions of an inch and yet have to program your machines in a decimal way. Metric measurement would be the way to go, but I guess you've heard that before. Anyway I always enjoy watching your work and love what you're doing with your own new workshop. If Scotland was a little closer I'd have been over to help you with that ceiling. Best Wishes for the holiday season ahead.
I have an old 10" Unisaw. Out of curiosity, I just checked my blade, arbor, and fence with an indicator. The blade was on the money at table level, the arbor runout was negligible, but the fence toed in about 0.002". That was fixed with a slight adjustment. I usually have the fence toe out 0.001 to 0.002 ....
Hi Keith. I am suprised you did not use a guard to stop you damaging your hand or arm on the chuck teeth that were protruding out of the chuck. I was quite scary to watch. Why not make a video on the safe use of a lathe. Thanks for all your time and effort in making these videos.
John Westbrook 100 years ago there were no guards, there was something called COMMON SENSE, people just paid attention and kept their hands out of the way. I'm legally blind and I took the stupid guard off my 1953 Cincinnati lathe, I've yet to have a close call with the chuck and I can't even see it while working on the lathe; I have zero (0) peripheral vision to the left on either eye, I do however pay attention.
G'day Keith,I see a lot of people in these RUclips videos using cutting oil with tungsten carbide tipped tools and always wonder why ? All it does is waste oil and produce greenhouse gas smoke. It will not increase the life of the tool or give you a better finish. These tips are designed to run hot and while in production machining there is a case for using flood coolant to keep the job cool for dimension accuracy, it is a waste of oil otherwise.Regards Dave Tointon
It's good to rather routine "projects" accomplished so deftly; the somewhat predictable operations build a sense of "protocol"..... Would AL have worked almost as well???
Hi mate. What dingbat pulled you away from more important things with his trivial problems?! Does this person not know you have a shed to build, and machines to get running? I'll tell you, some people.... ( O; Well done mate.
That "dingbat" may not have the means to do this work himself and may be trying to fix a machine that helps feeds his family. What is it your business who he asks for help?
Yes, that machine has always been noisy. It is properly lubed though. I think there is a bearing making that noise but I just can't work up the muster to tear it down.....

Luv the sound of Keith’s lathe starting up in the morning. Sounds like… victory.
My largest 5C is also 1" so greatly appreciate the idea for making a step-up arbor. You always do a great job of not only machining but also explaining and documenting the project. You would make a great classroom teacher.
Incandescent light gives machining work a nice warm glow.
NICE PROJECT. THANKS KEITH

THANK YOU...for sharing. Thanks for letting me tag along.
Nice, helping others while in the midst of a large project of your own. Thanks
Really enjoy watching you cut those threads!
Keith back making some chips and a guy gets his machine back working, good video
I concur :)
Nicely done, Keith. It's good that you pointed out that not every measurement needs to be down to the micron. Sometimes a feature just needs to be there and not be perfect. I bet you just made someone very happy though!

Nice to see you back in your natural habitat!
Great job Keith , Good of you to help out a viewer !! Thumbs up..
Always fun to see you running the lathe!
Always good to see smoke and metal fly. Nice job.
Thanks Keith, as always, some basic machining techniques that we learn from.
Good videl, nice to hear the train running in the background. ..
Nicely done, Keith. Another fine "mystery metal" repurpose job.
Enjoyed it Keith!
Nice project to help out a viewer.
You are the Norm Abams the Lathe! "Dixie Workshop." I just love your videos, Keith. Thanks for teaching us.
Years ago, I considered starting the "Old Rebel Workshop" as a spin off of his "New Yankee Workshop". I guess I missed my chance though - now days that would be considered politically incorrect and I would probably be called a racist.
nice to see some machining
Good stuff Keith
Thanks Keith.
Nice project. Thanks for sharing.
yes!! great use of quick fade-out/fade-in as a transition! LOVE IT!!!
in the industry, we call it "kissing black" -- well done!!!
Nice part Keith, good job.
Nice job. You get lots of interesting projects.
Enjoyed...nice build
Nice job, thanks for sharing.
Hello Keith,Great work and nice to see a bit lathe work again.Greetings from Roel !
Nicely done!
Great job Keith. Keith on my Lodge & Shipley if I pull both feed handle it will do a chamfer automatically
I am pretty sure that you can do that on this lathe as well.
Excellent job!!!
glad to see you getting in some lathe time. nice job on that part
Excellent. A nice project video for late night Sunday viewing, thanks!

Beau travail ! Comme d'habitude !
Georges
Good work ! As usual !
Georges
That was a nice project to watch.
I was suprised to see how easily the part came off the arbor, after the thru. hole was put in, I thought maybe it would give some resistance coming off.
Great job Keith I love the inserts you guys are using now wish I had them in my day.
I'm so old, I just wish they had electricity back in my day...
It was rough running everything off a volcano wasn't it. If it wasn't for Edison we'd be watching You tube by candle light!
Make that Tesla
Larry Stacey Him too.
might have to mention Westinghouse in there somewhere and Alessandro Volta
nice to see you making chips on the old machines.
very cool!
I liked this neat little project, chief. Thanks for the inspiration !
Keep on trucking ! (from France)
good job!!!
Thank you!
keith nice work.
I love watching projects like this as well as your resto jobs!
Pro. work... Nice job.
Good video
nice job.
13:25 "...parting is such sweet sorrow"(?)
get it? get it? get it? get it? SNUCKER-SNUCKER-SNUCKER-SNUCKER-SNUCKER-SNUCKER!!
Great video! I noticed you chose to upper limit of the tolerance for the press fit. It said 1.120 (+0.005 -0.000). If that were me I would have felt a lot more secure going for something in the middle, say 1.123.
10:32, what was he measuring and how was he getting the measurements because the other part of the caliper wasn't touching anything.
good job
great video
I was surprised that you didn't chuck that part up in your super spacer to drill the holes. But then, it never occurred to me that you also had the collet block you could use. Nice video of a small but interesting project.
I don't have a super spacer.....
Well done Keith, Love this type of work let it roll I can dig it.

Would it be possible to get a dial indicator on your 1" drill bit as its starting a hole to see how much its waggling on drilling a hole?
I will try and do that sometime just to see!
Amazing job Keith :) not commented much lately I know your getting far behind but always watching
Good morning Keith! Well, that was an enjoyable two cups of coffee and a smoke. I wanted to ask if the finish on the part after bring cut down in the lathe was an optical illusion or was it really streaky? If so, why would that happen?
Regards,

Not sure what you are talking about - it did not look streaky to me....
Well then, it must have turned out well and what I saw had to be a "vi-po?" (typo).
Merry Christmas!

Ian Steele
Makes me chuckle too. 'thousandths' is actually metric units.... ;)
can opener + can off wrigglers .....
Could you mean "decimal" instead of "metric", metric comes from Metre.
I probably do. Still a base 10 numeration method. I'll get my coat......
Indeed, in this weather don't forget the long johns too.:>)
Nice to see you making chips ... Am I being too fussy, but shouldn't the flange be trued up after it's mounted on the table saw arbor?
If the arbor is straight, it should not need truing up.
I have an old 10" Unisaw. Out of curiosity, I just checked my blade, arbor, and fence with an indicator. The blade was on the money at table level, the arbor runout was negligible, but the fence toed in about 0.002". That was fixed with a slight adjustment. I usually have the fence toe out 0.001 to 0.002 ....
anxious to see you do new jobs at your home shop !!!!!!! ( i'm sure you are too !!! )
Yes, I am very anxious. Getting closer to having my lathe ready to use at home!
Nice scribe job :D
Does it really matter, if the holes for the pin spanner go all the way through?
Is that what the blade goes on? Sure looks like it would be a a big blade!
likely a stabilizer flange. Though a 1.125" arbor is quite big, perhaps European? Most euro saws are 30mm though which is bigger than 1.125"..
Barry Gerbracht
I didn't think about it being a backing plate, the shaft likely steps down to 1" for the blade as that is common.
It goes on a bit Oliver table saw that runs a 16" blade with a 1" arbor.

You'll get a lot better surface finish every time when you use cutting oil-!!
a little off topic but how difficult is it to machine magnesium?
I don't think I have ever done that. No idea.
How long did it take to make it with filming?
I think it was about 6 hours - the better part of a day.
I heard the Vulcan in the background. I take it that is fully up and running again.
Yes, we are back up and going!
Yes, but what about the backyard shop?
Still working on it!
Couldn't you have used the edge finder against the washer?
OK Keith, now could you or would you build me a table saw ;). Greg
Could I? Probably. Will I? That's another story....
mr pete will pull your ears for using air to blow chips.
ABOM say's its OK...
It's one of those things that is just sometimes necessary. I try not to blow air much but I still do it.
It's good to rather routine "projects" accomplished so deftly; the somewhat predictable operations build a sense of "protocol".....
Would AL have worked almost as well???
Hi mate. What dingbat pulled you away from more important things with his trivial problems?! Does this person not know you have a shed to build, and machines to get running? I'll tell you, some people.... ( O; Well done mate.
Tongue firmly planted in cheek there matey ???
just a bit, mate just a bit.
It's for his wife...
That "dingbat" may not have the means to do this work himself and may be trying to fix a machine that helps feeds his family. What is it your business who he asks for help?
Oh noes!!! No parting action!!
Back to mindless porn it is !
Kisses!
Paddy
1 st hi Keith
No video ? I beg your parting.
Your lathe sounds like it needs some gearoil :| Very noisy your old lady.
Yes, that machine has always been noisy. It is properly lubed though. I think there is a bearing making that noise but I just can't work up the muster to tear it down.....
