well it's a lathe ruclips.net/user/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.
love the fact that you let people know you're learning,and that you don't act like you know it all. makes my experience with watching relatable and allows me to learn along side you. keep up the good work man.
Very few of those old Myfords around the US. I had the same backlash issues on my South Bend, replaced the cross slide lead screw and nut and it is nice now. Fine workmanship by you as always!
Hi TD Nice simple project well executed Thanks for showing and sharing. Really enjoyed it. Gives us ideas on tackling our next project Keep 'em rolling aRM
New here, you make nice easy to follow along and understand video making, and I was drawn here because I love machine crank handles and I am a micro machinist meaning my handles have this too damn small issue. Your end result the handle came out well. Thank you.
When I first got started in the metal working hobby I read that what guys made mostly were improvements for their lathes and other tools. I found that was pretty much true. My first project was an outboard spider made from a 1" black pipe coupling. My second project was a set of stockmakers screws for the Mosin Nagant. I guess that as time goes by we can learn how to make more and more complicated projects. I found the stockmakers screws to be quite educational, because it introduced me to threading.
Liked the video! I especially appreciate you showing an operation once, and then moving on. You didn't make us watch you drill and tap all three screw holes. And, NO MUSAK!!!! I'm a new subscriber now! Oh, btw, I like your knob profile better than the one in the book. (That sounds odd...)
+Dick Horner LOL, that last sentence!! Seriously, I appreciate the feedback. Some of my older vids have music, but I consider myself a newbie in the video editing department too. Appreciate the sub, it means a lot. Thanks for watching.
Fact is you got off your butt and had a go. Good enough for me to subscribe. Final product? That was good too. Well done. Looking forward to more projects.
About this Lathe Handle, I just found you it's August 2021. If you're reading your comments, send me a message. If all goes well for me, I'll be purchasing a new Lathe, probably in September. This is the first video I caught with you. Taking the flat stock, was a smart 🤓 idea to make your handle, nice effort 👍.
That's pretty neat. Nice work. For mine, I took a similar multi-part approach, but rather than bolting, I shrink-fitted the ring onto the shaft, which gave a cleaner result. It's worth noting that your new handwheel will interfere wth your compound slide. there's reason why your old handwheel was small.
Thanks for posting this. I just bought a mill that came with plastic handles. One was broken when I got it. As I get the mill cleaned up and back together this will be one of my first projects.
Yeah, the compound and the cross slide acme screws are bent on this machine right at the base of the handles for each. McMaster just delivered a nice new 3' stick of acme screw that I hope to use for replacing both.
One youtuber to another. Nice work. Good job on the handle. You work with steel and I work with wood (and my kids). Love a bit of lathe work, wood or steel
ThunderDog Well I made it home with it. Its a barely used Enco 1340. Came with a ton of tooling, 3 jaw, 4 jaw, lots of carbide and hss, end mills, complete 5c collet set and draw bar, files, boring bars. I’m getting it all cleaned up today. Should be making chips by tomorrow!
Great job. Would love to have seen the capheads counterbored. But you didn't have much meat left in the middle, so it would have been difficult. All and all, a cool look to a utilitarian upgrade. 👍👍
I have been looking for a lathe to buy hard to get here I have not used one yet, I would like to make a suggestion, instead of using bolts to hold it together I would undersize one part and use the heat one freeze the other to join the parts in a press fit, so then no bolts drilling or tapping threads,
Very nicely done. I can't help but to think that if you replaced the cap head screws with some button heads it'd really pop. Not that it doesn't now but... Thanks taking us along on your build, I really enjoyed the video.
how is this the first video I've seen from you?! The boosted frame rate was glorious, and I really like how your microphone was mounted to the lathe. The bass response made it like I could feel the cut through the screen! SUBBED!
ThunderDog nice project, would you not consider countersunk hex or torx bolts into the aluminium? Just to make it more visually pleasing? Just a thought.....nice job either way bud.
Great video awesome project for a fast turning handle I can appreciate that very much I hope you kept the one with the two handles at some point you might appreciate why they were two handles on the Wheel
Awesome job and I prefer your handle over the original style. I always love to see people make things with what they have. Can you tell me what you have attached that protects your bed, etc from chips ? Thanks, Randy
Thanks. Regarding the bed protection, that was simply a thin piece of rubber, about a 1/4". The Myford lathe already had those tapped holes to attach it.
Nice lathe! What kind is it? I like the t-slots a lot. You might want to hold on to that old handle. Several RUclips creators have made an adapter to fit the two handles which is driven with a hand held drill motor. It gives a smooth, long cut with no tedious cranking. First time here, your voice reminds me of This Old Tony. Subscribed... Edit: Oh, yes, nice job on the handle!
You subscribed equates to me being very thankful and appreciative of people being interested in what I do!! It's an English lathe, this one being a Myford/Drummond "M" series. Around WWII Drummond was sold to Myford. From what I've read this is the long bed version. It's been a great little machine. It's not without some quirks, but I've learned quite alot with it.
Well done project. I would approach the two separate parts differently. Interference assembly, tight tolerances. One in the freezer, the other in the oven, after put together would stay like that. ;-)
Great project, can you tell me what type lathe you have? I love the size of the carriage and milling attachment, I would think you could make your own cross feed screw your self, looks great.
Hi, great job on the hand wheel. I liked the fact that you made it from two pieces to get around not having a big enough piece of bar stock. Could you please reply with the name of the book that the dimensions for the shaped handles was in. I have been looking for a chart like that for a long time. A method for making odd profiled 'ornamental' parts that I have used with good results in the past is to divide the part up into say, 64th inch steps and turn what ends up looking like a stack of washers. I used a parting tool and just plunged to each diameter. It is then a simple matter to finish of the profile with files of the appropriated shapes. Keep up the good work.
+KiwiBassHead I did a similar setup with the parting tool and then formed the part to final dimension. The nook is none other than a copy of the Machinery Handbook. Mine is the 13th edition, old but works just fine. Thanks for watching.
+Malcolm Till Thanks, it was a fun project. I have to say the Myford lathes are impressive for a small machine, even for the amount of wear on the ways.
I noticed you have a shars live center. How is shars equipment? I am looking at buying some shars stuff. Including a quick change tool set for my logan.
I've only purchased a few items, they seem "ok" for what I do. I'm not building a rocket ship anytime soon, so I don't need ridiculous tight tolerances. The lathe came with a live center when I bought it, but it has quite a bit of slop compared to the Shars live center. So yeah, the one I received works better than the home made one. They work for me, but I'm ALWAYS watching Craigslist for the big names like Starrett, B&S, Mitutoyo, etc. Best of luck!
much more practical than casting the handle the traditional way. it looks nice and is just as functional. I have been getting tired of weird wrist Acton on my compound as well. think I will give it a wack. don't think I can shape a handle freehand like that though.
Looks good. My 2c worth would be to suggest as an extra refinement, to do a similar mod to what i did with my lathe feed handles, namely to make a counter balance to offset the handle mass. Originally, before the mod, because i had a nice ball bearing lead screw, if i had any vibration from the cut, the mass of the handle would tend to rotate the feed wheel until the handle was at bottom of the circle, thus advancing the tool in some unintended direction and compromising quality of product... You can tighten gib screw to lock the axis of motion but this is a nuisance. Counterweight made and installed; problem gone. Same thing on my drill press x-y table. You want a bigger diameter slug of material so it is shorter so it doesn't hit your fingers when you crank on the handle though, or if there's room, fit it onto the back of the handwheel.
Any ideas? I saw some video that says many ebay cheap ones come with disaglinments and defects that make them even more expensive to repair. Im a total noob about it. Besides I need something small to put in the apartment.
Julio, Two brands of small lathes that you can put in your apartment are Sherline (www.sherline.com/) and Taig (www.taigtools.com/mlathe.html). Both are very accurate if well adjusted. See if you can at a good price in your country. Another option is a Chinese lathe. There is good and bad lathes in China, search before buy. One that I would recommend is the 180 x 300 Optimum lathe (ruclips.net/video/wQGJdr5lCQk/видео.html). Another cheaper option would be an SIEG (littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=4959). Of course none of this is cheap and you will still spend a lot on the tools but I am just showing you what your possibilities are. Big hug and good luck!
See what this guy does on the Optmum lathe ( ruclips.net/video/jPOraPSDjz0/видео.html ). Remember, a well-prepared person can do more with hands than many persons unprepared with lathe.
Hi ThunderDog. Nice video! A couple of questions: At 5:03, you show that you have marked the locations of the three screw holes that will be used to hold the "disk" to the "hub". What method did you use to locate those three holes, 120 deg apart? Secondly, does the curvy handle that you made at the end spin free, or is it tight to the disk (i.e. you have to let it slip in your hand while turning it)?
+Walter Turchyn I'm away from my books right now, but there is a chart in Machinery Handbook that I used. I recorded it but didn't put it in the video because I wasn't sure if people would be interested in that info. The handle is screwed into the large diameter. Hey, thanks for watching.
To follow your request: The first thing I thought was "Oh, it's discount This old Tony". Don't get me wrong, even discount Tot is pretty rad, but that's where you are. It'll be interesting to see where you take it.
+ThunderDog-- nice work! I am curious about your lathe. I am looking for a small lathe because of very limited space. Can you provide more information about what you have and maybe how much space it takes up (footprint)? Thanks!
+David Henderson It's a Myford "M" series lathe. Built in England, mine dates back to 1947. I built a bench that is roughly 2.5' x 4'. I'm in the U.S., and obviously they're not readily available. Thanks for watching.
Well done. Nice work. Look at the time 09:35. Suppose You would like to turn the compound another 30 degrees CW, like when single point threading. It looks like the compound will interfere with Your new handle. I faced that on my mini lathe and bought a small compound handle and down sized the handle of the cross slide! I could think of using the original handle You had but removing one of the pins..
Put some button heads in place of those socket head cap screws and your knuckles will thank you. I will probably end up doing something like this on my south bend heavy 10. Nice job!
well it's a lathe ruclips.net/user/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron.

Thanks! Yeah, I will be the first to say that what I share is to inspire others to learn and try something out. Stay tuned.
Loved that practical and useful job. I’m a beginner and now a subscriber. Please do more of those Useful and Practical builds 👍
I love watching these videos, it always blows my mind that I know you, and watching you make all these hardware projects is so fascinating
+lilbuztahs Thanks, always trying to learn and share what I do.
hey man, pretty nice work. and a well presented video. I am gonna put that project on my list of cool things to make for my bandsaw too.
Great work man! For once I'm glad a channel was in my homepage :'D

Good job "thinking outside of the box". On figuring out how to do this project with the supplies you had. One day I'm gonna be like you
+Glenn Johnson Lol, thanks for watching.
Hi TD
Nice simple project well executed
Thanks for showing and sharing. Really enjoyed it. Gives us ideas on tackling our next project
Keep 'em rolling

always hated those tiny handles, great work on the new one that extra leverage makes all the difference
Hi. I'm new to metal milling. I really enjoy your videos. Great job on the editing also. Thanks for your time and hard work just for us.

Cool project. I like your style handle over the the one in the book btw
I’m now a new subscriber thanks for posting a great video looking forward to more videos god bless
I always hated the cross slide handle on my Grizzly. Took care of that by replacing it with a LeBlond........ Nice work!
+Brandon Witt I don't know about you, but these simple mods just make the experience a lot smoother.
Thanks for posting this. I just bought a mill that came with plastic handles. One was broken when I got it.
As I get the mill cleaned up and back together this will be one of my first projects.
Nice job on the handle, I'm going to have to try making one soon. My cross slide handle was damaged while trying to move my lathe when I bought it.
Yeah, the compound and the cross slide acme screws are bent on this machine right at the base of the handles for each. McMaster just delivered a nice new 3' stick of acme screw that I hope to use for replacing both.

+Dave's Cave Appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching.
Many thanks. I'm just a beginner learning and getting up the confidence for my first project.
Looks good. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Really enjoyed that, I have a warco gh1322 lathe and although the wheels are nice and big, you have inspired me to make some nice alloy ones.
+Bounce MTB Suspension and Bicycle Servicing Go for it!!! Make some chips!! Thanks for watching.
Great job man. I’m actually going to pick up my very first lathe today! Super exited about it!
They're a ton of fun!!!

Very tidy job 👌
Looks and works Great. Very Nice.
Verry smart way! Also not wasted 80% of material if turned in one peace 👌🏻
AWESOME job just found your channel and i love it.
Nice job
Awesome job and I prefer your handle over the original style.
I always love to see people make things with what they have. Can you tell me what you have attached that protects your bed, etc from chips ?
Thanks, Randy
Thanks. Regarding the bed protection, that was simply a thin piece of rubber, about a 1/4". The Myford lathe already had those tapped holes to attach it.
Nice work!
some knurling on the outer surface of the disc would be nice for extra grip.
Looks good, but I would have added the last big piece to what was there, after removing the two little handles. Saves a lot of work.
Excellent upgrade.
+Virginia Hoffman Thank you.
Sempre molto bravo👍👍👍saluti da Italia.
Nice lathe! What kind is it? I like the t-slots a lot. You might want to hold on to that old handle.

Hi, great job on the hand wheel. I liked the fact that you made it from two pieces to get around not having a big enough piece of bar stock.
Could you please reply with the name of the book that the dimensions for the shaped handles was in. I have been looking for a chart like that for a long time.
A method for making odd profiled 'ornamental' parts that I have used with good results in the past is to divide the part up into say, 64th inch steps and turn what ends up looking like a stack of washers. I used a parting tool and just plunged to each diameter. It is then a simple matter to finish of the profile with files of the appropriated shapes.
Keep up the good work.
+KiwiBassHead I did a similar setup with the parting tool and then formed the part to final dimension. The nook is none other than a copy of the Machinery Handbook. Mine is the 13th edition, old but works just fine. Thanks for watching.
i wondering where did u get book 7:16
In your country, you don´t have old technical books?
That looks great
nice work.
You have talent my friend.
Well done I've got to do the same on all my hand wheels before I go "nuts". John
Hey any improvement is a plus.I would give a A plus . nice fix!
+Danne Hughes Thanks, it has worked perfectly.
Great job, As someone already said " I like your handle best". I have an ML 4 Capstan lathe and an ML4 like copy !
+Malcolm Till Thanks, it was a fun project. I have to say the Myford lathes are impressive for a small machine, even for the amount of wear on the ways.
Accuracy is down to the operator mostly ;-))
Nice very nice, I have to do that on mine, good work
I noticed you have a shars live center. How is shars equipment? I am looking at buying some shars stuff. Including a quick change tool set for my logan.

Very Nice Work Sir...!
Hi ThunderDog. Nice video! A couple of questions:
At 5:03, you show that you have marked the locations of the three screw holes that will be used to hold the "disk" to the "hub". What method did you use to locate those three holes, 120 deg apart?
Secondly, does the curvy handle that you made at the end spin free, or is it tight to the disk (i.e. you have to let it slip in your hand while turning it)?

Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Turned out nice.
i need to do this for my dewalt table saw
Great video, going to try that on mine
Great mod. One question though, since you asked. Why not CA glue instead of risking marks from the bolt to hold the parts together?
Great job. I would like to get the Fusion 360 drawing, but am not sure how it could be sent to me?
+Tom Herd Let me see what I can do.
nice work dude great video thank you for sharing
To follow your request: The first thing I thought was "Oh, it's discount This old Tony". Don't get me wrong, even discount Tot is pretty rad, but that's where you are. It'll be interesting to see where you take it.

Nice job on a multi piece handwheel, you should do aluminum casting....coulda made your own blank. Thumbs up! 👍🏼
+Makin Sumthin From Nuthin Thanks for watching.
Well done. Nice work.
Look at the time 09:35. Suppose You would like to turn the compound another 30 degrees CW, like when single point threading. It looks like the compound will interfere with Your new handle. I faced that on my mini lathe and bought a small compound handle and down sized the handle of the cross slide!
I could think of using the original handle You had but removing one of the pins..
Awesome video!
+BradLey Youngquist Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
well done .
+Les Thompson Thank you.
how did you put the threads on the end of the handle great video by the way
Put some button heads in place of those socket head cap screws and your knuckles will thank you. I will probably end up doing something like this on my south bend heavy 10. Nice job!
