  • I took a road trip this past week and stopped by to see Kyle at @VanoverMachineAndRepair. Kyle was gracious enough to let me hang out in his shop for a bit over a couple of days and I also got to meet some other local machinists and machine rebuilders. Had a little fun and recorded him trying to get a rush job out the door - in between all the phone calls! 😂

    I walked in right as you guys were leaving that day. It was fun getting to hang out at Arnfest and walk around in the machine shops at the railroad museum.

      Agreed. The best benefit of starting a YooToob channel is making so many new friends and acquaintances.

      Not just the friendahips, but the wealth of shared knowledge. It has brought me many people to bounce ideas off of.

      @MyLilMule you got that right. I can post stuff on the other platforms and get a ton of stupid and degrading comments. I post here and mostly positive and sometimes helpfull comments. You still get the moron, but they are easily blocked. Lol

    Great video, ironic that I just recently found Vanover Machine. I've followed Josh for years. I started out on a SB 10L and its a wonderful machine to learn on. They are easy to use and very forgiving. Then I purchased a Monarch 12CK and wow what a machine. My only real complaint is the small spindle bore. However metric threads are not in its vocabulary. The bonus was is came with a functional Newall DRO.

    • @MyLilMule
      @MyLilMule  15 дней назад

      LOL. I was once enamoured with the 12CK myself. But I am not sure I still feel that way. Between the small spindle bore and the inability to run the spindle in reverse, I am not sure that will be my future lathe anymore. I love the look of them, and I especially love vintage machines, but now I am having second thoughts.

      @MyLilMule just get the 12CK. You'll love it and work past it's short comings. It will make you think outside the box, making you a better machinist.
