- Over the past year I’ve taken on many machining and engineering projects so I’ve definitely spent a lot of time with these machine tools; becoming familiar with both their capabilities and their limitations. In this video I’ll be tackling some of the latter. Specifically on the metal lathe. I have a whole list of improvements I’d like to make so I’ll just be starting with the things that bug me the most and going from there. And as always I’ll be taking the “do it yourself” approach to all these upgrades, from engineering design to precision machining. Enjoy!

Thanks for watching everyone! As always stay tuned for another video in 2 weeks on Friday, March 31st where I'll be taking a trip back in time 😉
I’m here for the Side Projects… perhaps a Heat Treatment Furnace? Plenty of resources for the PID and Ni-Chrome Wire on the interwebs
Using the lathe ala This Old Tony?
Remember to travel in imperial and not in metric, 15 days or 1500 years is just one tumbler position away.
Jokes aside, i admire your work, not just on the camera but with it and editing. You are up there with ToT, Ron Covell, Abom79 and Machine Thinking.
Congrats on your success!
@@bendover5546 😂 Much appreciated! Thank you
11:37 Blood for the Blood God.
I seldom comment on videos, but I must extend my gratitude for the effort and quality your pour into the making of these videos. As of now, my favorite channel hands down. The combination of explaining your thoughts, showing us your shortcomings, and taking us along the whole project is really refreshing. Cheers.
Thanks for taking the time! I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you!
Lol I was literally coming to the comment section to say this guy is my new favorite youtuber. Also clickspring
The writing and voice work really pop this channel out.
True
❤😊
The full disclosure of mistakes is what makes this the no. 1 machinist channel on RUclips. First class ideas and execution 👌👏👏👍😀
Much appreciated, Andrew!
While he is great, I don’t know any machining channel that doesn’t show their mistakes, that’s half the fun of watching them
Reminds me of the many mistakes I’ve made in production shops over the years. It’s so much easier to show them on RUclips than taking them to the foreman and wondering what he’ll say. Failure is a big part of learning but it sure is embarrassing.
Awesome content as always. Without a doubt, you have created a top tier machining channel!
Yes! He is up there with My Mechanics.
Thank you very much!
The best part is that the quality content started with your very first upload little more than a year ago. Executed brilliantly from the get-go and it shows with the rapid growth subscriber numbers.
I was shocked to see how much your patreon has grown since the last time I watched your video right up to the end (most of the time I fell asleep before the video ends, your voice are soo relaxing, plus the nature of machining sound)
Truly a testament to how GOOD your content are!
I have mixed feelings about you falling asleep 😂 But thank you!
@@InheritanceMachining sorry😂 but your upload schedule fell around 9-10 PM where I live, and I rarely got the time to watch long format video like yours during the day, so most of the time I watch them right before bedtime, so there's that, I promise its not because your content are boring✌️
Finding good makers content alone is hard, but yours also come with good music, good editing, engaging narrative, AND CAPTIONS! I couldn't be more grateful, thanks a lot man🙌
@@InheritanceMachining Glass half full: someone falling asleep to your video allows it to play 100% without skipping any ads you place in them, so it's a win-win!
Glad I’m not the only one to fall asleep to machining videos. And agreed, this is a top tier channel to fall asleep to.
@@hafidzgi No worries haha I take it as a compliment! Thanks again
I very much enjoyed this video. I like how you show the mess ups, the poor planning, the equipment failure and have 20/20 narration explaining the failure with retrospect. This is a great video series of your journey that also works well as an educational set. I don't feel quite so discouraged about my failures on the lathe after having witnessed another person go through similar problems and how they thought it through. Thank you for your inspiration and guidance, Keep doing what your doing.
We all make mistakes so better to learn from them than hide them. Thanks!
Your new camera setup seems to be working well. These upgrades will help make sure that precision will be easier and more efficient. Will there be a part 2?
It has been great! I'll most likely revisit the list but not immediately. I've got some other projects pulling at my interests first haha
the hinge on the second side clamp has a lot of potential to crack that could be eliminated by a small drillrd hole at the end instead of just the slitting saw kerf.
I’d do both slots, give it a bit more finished look. Good idea.
@@Hoaxer51 All part of the service my friend! I learn more than I suggest from these things too, despite working in a job shop. I just have a whole lot of experience with how to screw up home made fixtures. :P
the combination of the brass and steel for the knobs is to die for!
great work!
😁 Thanks!
Pun intended?
I like the compound addition you made, but are still only measuring the movement of the compound which is not directly in relation to the change in radius of the cut due to the compound angle. I built a similar tool that mounts the anvil to the cross slide and allow you to set the dial indicator to the compliment of the compound's angle; thus any adjustment in the compound is read on the dial as a true change in cutting diameter. Keep the videos coming I love your work.
You're correct. I hope he reads your comment. However, I suppose this could be useful if you need to do some trepanning to a certain depth using the compound.
Is there a setup to achieve this? It might be simpler to do the trig beforehand and not have an annoying setup to fiddle with every time. This setup also lets you do the trick or rotating the cross slide to cut at an angle and get more precision due to only a component of the slides motion moving into the cut.
@JBpiification you can do this same modification to the cross slide, and that will give you a direct reading to how far you're advancing the cutting tool directly into the work. Adding a DRO is quite pricey, but I believe they make those digital linear scales that are used for quill depth on milling machines long enough to attach somehow.
Yes that is true. I can see the advantages of a setup like you describe. My primary uses for my indicator setup will likely be tramming the compound angle more accurately (needs a second indicator) and operations like multi-start threads where the like I did on my machinist jack. Thanks!
@Inheritance Machining I think the easiest way for a multistart thread is being able to index your chuck or headstock. I'm going to have to checkout the video you mentioned. I really hope that my comments don't come off as being critical because you do outstanding work and have excellent problem solving skills. It appears as you've been doing this for decades. I'm only attempting to share my knowledge in hopes that one day you might find it useful. Thank you for taking the time to share your work with the rest of us. I look forward to your next video.
I love how a lathe and a mill can get you so much precision.
You use the tools to make parts for the tools, so the tools are more precise. And with enough material and energy, you can do that over and over until you have the most precise machine ever.
I like you show the mistakes, as well as the frustration that comes form the mistakes. Shows the learning process
I watch machining videos from a number of sites on a regular basis but I have to admit that yours is the only one I always look forward to viewing. Your content is thoughtful, systematic and it moves right along. You don't fill your time with a lot of talk and explanations but instead get right into the machining part (which is what all us viewers want to see). You give good close-ups of what's going on and you are not afraid to show your mistakes (like nobody makes them?). You have a good eye for design and I subscribe to your usage of a drawing board first because I truly believe what Mrs. Wright (mother of Orville and Wilber) said: "If you get it right down on paper...it will come out right!" Kudos!!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Lee! I like Mrs. Wright's saying as well!
Clicked on the video 24 seconds after upload, that's a new record for me😱
Thank you for showing what went wrong. Often that can be more beneficial than watching what went according to the plan.
Great video and work as always.
My pleasure. Thanks!
2:45 "Autopad" gave me a hearty chuckle
Decent modifications to get a little more accuracy out of your projects, as for the slitting saw you can just TIG Weld the damaged channel and redo the surface on the lathe. [and probably check the inside of the Mill mount to see if it needs a little resurfacing after the jamming]
Regarding your arbor. Any attempt at filling the gouge with weld will likely warp the shank. I would remove the burrs and mill in a new keyway on the opposite side. For the marks on the main body, kill two birds with one stone by milling some flats for a wrench. This will remove the marks and set you up to remove it next time. Because if you prepare for it, it won't happen again lol.
Ain't that the truth 😂 Good ideas
I don't know what it is... maybe the calm, the love for detail and aesthetics, the small dad jokes or the 'taking part in a learning and growing experience' but this is - apart from ThisOldTony - the best hobby machinist channel on youtube.
Even though i'm not a machinist, it has always fascinated me. I love watching your videos!
Thanks! Everyone is welcome here
Truly love your style, and the zero hype. We all make mistakes and instead of hiding them, you help us learn from them too. thank you sir.
My pleasure. Thank you as well!
You are truly a stand. up guy. Most of us wouldn’t admit to being human, but your gaf has made you popular to me. Anything you want to show I want to watch. Thanks for your humility, I’d buy you a new one if there was one made to the same quality you build.
You,Sir, amaze me.
Also, I have learned the hard way that a lot of the taper pining on the South Bend lathes were hand drilled, so you are keeping with tradition. Thanks.
I'm getting "applied science" vibes from your accent. I love how ok you are with sharing mistakes. You working to fix the mistakes is far more enjoyable than: I did x,y,z and it works, I've done it for years
I appreciate that! Mechanical Engineer
It was cool to watch you make these tools it is even cooler to see you go back and fix mistakes vs just acting like you're perfect!
That's what I do 😁 Thanks!
I needed this soothing content today.
In fact, I think Im going to watch/listen to the whole channels worth of videos again at work today.
It's really good to see how big this channel is getting. Well-deserved.
Thanks, as always Brian! Enjoy the ride
the trick for tightening the tool post against the drill shaft is genius
Another brilliant video! I love watching you do old-school drafting to make your technical drawings, but I was also pleasantly surprised to see that you are proficient using the same auto-pad software that I’ve counted on for years! Straight lines and crisp details are all well and good, but nothing beats a hastily scratched-out drawing on a sheet of notebook paper or on the back of a junk mail envelope!
Well said! 😁 Thanks
The ONLY use for junk mail ! 😄
The juxtaposition of your calm and intelligent narration with the aggressive (and understandable) cursing when things go severely awry always cracks me up! 😂 Fantastic video!
😂 Thanks
I think that a special award should be presented for this specific act! Well played Mate! Good on ya! Cool!! Wowzers! Now iffn you need any help with the correct wording for specific pain, feel free to contact me for an encyclopedic vernacular gained from too many years of dermatological abuse….. or as is the new explanation- BenDare, DunDat. Gramps must have been a wonderful role model.😊
@@wrstew1272 😂
What I love about this machining channel is he shows the challenges in machining.
I've been rebuilding various components on my old Springfield 280 lathe, and along the way I've been adding thrust bearings to features. What a difference.
Great collection of small projects!
is this technically a whole video on side projects? lovely
One of the last few Keuffel and Esser Paragon Drafting Arm users left in the world :). I remember my ME father using one when I was a little boy (60+ years ago). Thanks again for the great content and another enjoyable Friday morning.
You might be right about that! Thanks
The new handle update visibly tightened everything down in a very satisfying way. Akin to a runner getting into position at the start of a race
Not sure if it matters but personally if I had to repair that saw keyway I'd file the burrs, fill the mark with a tig weld, then re-turn and mill the keyway to remove excess weld material
I've been considering this but am weary of inducing a bow in the shaft
@@InheritanceMachining maybe make a test piece, like turned down to roughly the same diameter, weld a little bit then see if the runout is acceptable
@@InheritanceMachining weld both sides. IANAW
The legend himself returns, gotta love upgrade videos, they're super nice. Hoping we don't see a return of the box of shame
😎 Thanks, man
soothing to watch and listen to you work. I love seeing manual machining. As a CNC machinist this is always so cool to learn about.
As I binge through your videos I wanted to express how much I enjoy the way you tell each story. I'm a design engineer that is an aspiring machinist and find each video an emotional rollercoaster. 😅 You've got me literally lol'ing and grieving with each mistake. The highs and lows are so relatable and I love seeing how others tackle dificult problems. As an added family benefit my 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son are completely captivated by your content and it leads to great conversation about manufacturing. ❤️
This was as thoroughly enjoyable as always!
One question: how many cool points before a side project can be removed from the count for a video? I kid, but those tools bear the trademark clean and gorgeous design, and wonderful functionality I truly enjoy watching! Thanks for bringing us along!
I think it would need at least 100 points! 😂 My pleasure, man. Thanks as always
Wonder if the compound has a metric lead screw with an imperial dial?
The math doesn't seem to work out that way. I'm suspecting the imperial screw was approximated on a metric lathe
Thank you Sir, you do not know how much I wish I had access to a workshop like yours. Seeing you make beautiful tools/parts really makes me happy. Have a blessed day.
Maybe one day? Thanks for the support!
It made me smile to see your old-school drafting technique with a drafting machine and pencil. That’s how I learned to draft in high school before switching to a parallel bar and triangles in architecture school. Great content!
Just have to remember that when using the indicator you will remove twice as much material as indicated. I’ve been burned by that before because my hand wheels are all “direct read” and was used to dialing 1 thou to remove 1 thou.
Good point. The dial on the compound is direct read as well so I'm used to that
Direct reading dials do have advantages, if you use the lathe for more than just plain turning. Maybe you might mount a subspindle for drilling holes in the face or periphery of workpieces which they're still held true, maybe you might mount a job on the cross slide for line boring or trepanning, or other possibilities too numerous to mention but handy in a small shop without specialised machines for every job. In such cases it's desperately easy to get it wrong because they are few and far between.
After posting this I realised the discussion was about compound slides. These ALWAYS have direct reading dials (unless the lathe maker is a cretin), for reasons which will be obvious on reflection. I think the original poster might have been thinking (as I admit I was) that this indicator was on the cross slide.
So basically what you've made is a mechanical DRO, right? Or in this case, an ARO (Analog Read Out). Impressive!
I like it!
17:19 “Part” way there… Touché, sir. Well played. 👏
I just want to say, as someone who used to work in a manual machine shop, your vids are so great to watch!! Keep it up man!!
personal advice: remove the pin in the quill. it does nothing once you have a power drawbar
Agreed. Came here to say this, but I see Brandon has already liked your comment. Ditch the pin!
I don't have a power drawbar, and STILL love having it without the pin. It allows you to 'thread' in the collet 95% of the way from the bottom, so you only have to pull out the wrench for the last 1/2 turn.
Loving the growing collection. Crazy it's been a year!
You're telling me! Thanks
I came faster than that bluening layout ink drying
Stay classy, bud. Whatever happened to just saying, "I really enjoyed your video."?
@@keithbowman7650 Bwahahaha
@@keithbowman7650 I'm Brazilian we can't simple do the things in the easy mode...
Absolutely love this channel. I’m currently studying manufacturing engineering technology and getting glimpses into your design and problem solving process is really inspiring. Machining is something I’ve always found interesting but difficult to begin with, but your presentation of it and showing the mistakes you make along the way make it seem more tangible, and I think it’s part of what makes your videos so enjoyable. Keep up the great work, can’t wait to see what you do next!
I love to hear that, man. Everybody in this trade makes mistakes so better to show them so others can learn. Thanks for the support!
9:54 I love this, allows you to find instant materials according to the project needed
remainder material box / scrap stock organizer
Nobody’s perfect; Try and go easy on the negative self-talk. It creeps….
Where other channels might purchase a new machine and then spend a video showing it off, you spend a video showing how you used your skills to solve the problems with your current machine. Great content, great attitude! Love it!
Much appreciated!
lol so glad i found this channel on a nice Saturday morning. I really enjoyed it, like his narration/video style. I'm a cnc lathe machinist/set up guy in a job shop myself. I really enjoyed it, and see there are plenty of videos to catch up on. well done.
Another top notch project. All the way from your camera work and editing, to the beautiful finished product. Always a joy to watch!
Thanks. Keith!
The thing I love most about your videos is that things are rarely perfect until they are. It’s comforting to see a skilled person biff it every now & then.
All part of the learning process. And it seems to be helpful for a lot of people seeing when things go wrong. Thanks, man
Impressive. I love watching the techniques. I never can tell if these are things I’ve forgotten, or totally new.
This has become one of my favorite builder RUclips channel. I really enjoy your videography and classy video style! Very high quality.
Thank you very much!
I have just discovered your channel and absolutely love it!
I’m a self taught machinists that has been operating equipment for over 40yrs now and always love watching someone else make awesome projects and even have my wife interested in your channel.
There is definitely some neat projects here that would definitely make my life easier and, just be cool to make.
Simply awesome!
Glad to have you! That's the great thing about machining. There are always more things to learn and better ways to do things! Thanks for the support
I always love the difference between you in the shop and you doing the voiceover.
Your Videos really are my comfort zone. Watching them im instantly relaxed and fell good. Also they are very entertaining. Thank you for making them
My pleasure! Thank for watching!
Not only great content but I love how you make your drawings available for all budding engineers!
I really enjoyed seeing your drafts at the drafting table. Well done 👍👍
These videos have become an important part of my Fridays. They are so calming and wonderful. Thank you so much!
My pleasure! Thank you for following along!
Very good idea.
Nice work.
Will come in handy for precise work.
Handy for threading as well.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
My thinking exactly. Thanks!
Just subscribed! Really like your videos and a lot of things are common practice haha, good to see that other people come across the same problems on their projects. No showing off, just real life projects and the hassle that comes along. 👌🏻
Your videos have become my favourite evening or after work “show” such a nice thing to kick back and relax to
Glad to hear that! Thanks
I enjoy your videos. I started machining professional in 1981, and I am still learning, often from you. I also like the fact that you show errors. I still make them.
love your videos man. Im the furthest thing from a engeneering/technically inclined person, but watching your channel has inspired me to somehow start becuase I love this stuff. Thank You.
Sometimes the most important lessons that we learn in machining....... Are learned through mistakes and failed attempts. I became a very good manufacturing engineer muchly because of all the mistakes I made.
And you're right about trepanning..... It's a very sexy process. But it takes a concentrated amount of planning, especially in the clearance angles needed in your trepanning cutter. I can't begin to tell you the headaches that I had trying to program in a trepan on a flange made from hastelloy (on a CNC lathe). But, as you've discovered, it feels terrific when you finally get it right!!!
Cracking vid as always love the warts and all approach
Outstanding! Thank you for showing your failures and how you learn from them instead of cutting them completely.
My pleasure! Thanks
I just subbed! Great video, no BS, no annoying background music, great sense of humor and highly educational! Thanks for the posting and take care!
P.S. Also a great radio type voice!
Welcome!
Thank you Sir for your contribution to my full relaxing!
I always keep your projects like a sweet candy before going to sleep and watching them gives me an internal pleasure that really calms me down.
Maybe the voice, maybe the music (awesome!), surely the ensamble ot all the things.
My best preferred videos.
Thank you!
You are very kind!! Thank you
"chamfer everything" - totally agree and man, I love your humor 😂
I get 5.7 degrees but cosine error is good point. I ended up getting the same reading with the new indicator mount holding it straight. It may also be that the indicator is out of spec (should have verified that)
Ahh now I understand what the upgrade was from your post the other day.
The dial indicator mount upgrade is also a great one that will serve an important purpose and also looks great.
Thanks!
Your "acceptable finish" is most other people's "Wow look what I did!" great work honestly next level attention to detail. Especially love that you draw your plans by hand.
As a Tool and Die maker myself, I can tell you that one of the things that I love most about the job is its ability to humble you at any given time. I've been at the job for a little over 10 years now, and the amount of learning that is needed is endless. The job has honed my problem solving skills so that no task seems impossible, even if said task is to be done on less than adequate equipment. That being said, I really appreciate you including the mistakes and trials you have to go through with the design processes and testing of your projects. You are technically prototyping every piece you create in your shop, so a certain level of error is to be expected. The finished outcome is so satisfying! Thank you for sharing, as always!
That's one of the things I love about machining as well. There is always more to learn. But with every new skill comes a little more confidence. Thanks as always, Small Guy!
Ya know, Out of all the machining channels out there, You've got it down. Perfectly executed (Unless something goes awry) and so very very calming.
You are very kind. Thank you!
I learned alot of things here and would "steal" Some of the design in the future for my personal project.
Thanks 😁
I'm envious of how nicely preserved tools you have and also you have the right tools for the right job, as I don't have many tools where I work, but I'm sure I would make them in the future.
Again a great video to watch! Thank you so much for your time and effort in making these.
My pleasure! Thanks for following along
Oh damn, there it is again!! I get so engrossed on these videos!
I only discovered this channel at the start of the year. It's become one of my absolute favourites.
Love to hear it! Thank you 🙏
Love that you show your mishaps. Keeps a hack like me from losing all faith in myself.
More great machining content, enjoying it on my holiday. I agree with the chamfers.
Very neat addition!!
✨ Side-projects extravaganza Pt II, The re-turning ✨
Oooo!
One thing to remember when you have to grip a piece with a through hole by a short chucking protrusion, is that you can rig a length of all-thread through the hollow spindle with nuts and big washers, akin to the drawbolt of a milling machine, to securely pull it back against the faces of the chuck jaws. It becomes virtually bombproof. If it's a cross hole, use an eye nut. If there's a tapped hole use it, if there's a blind hole from the back, tap it... IF it doesn't have (or can't have) a blind hole, tack weld a nut to it!
Another thought: parting off is the second most perilous class of cut in turning, in general. The most perilous is face grooving.
And in super gummy materials, like pure copper, it's butt clenchingly prone to smashing tools (if you're lucky).
Sharp tooling, judicious feeding, and the exact right type of cutting oil, are all a big help...
some lathe upgrades
in the quest of turning perfection
also many of those drawings are beautiful to look at. i can imagine fans of the channel wanting them as pieces of technical art
“Auto pad rendering” That was a 10/10.😂😂
love to see the handmade drawings, something that I thought totally lost for ever. Surprising in special the drawing of the bolt using the "old" thread symbol. I wonder if many of the younger viewers understand it at the first view. Now I realized I am getting really old....
I must admit, I love the way those knobs turned out. And while the operation looked easy, I know it was the time well spent on that knurling tool that made that part of the operation “Look easy”. Great job Brandon!
Oh I'm using that knurling tool every chance I get just to make it worth it haha. Thanks, Chris!
Amazing content, I swear I have never machined anything in my life. Butwatching you makes me what to go and sit at the feet of the master to learn.
If you've got the means, go for it. You might find yourself obsessed like most machinist before too long lol
Nice fixture for the compound slide and nice workmanship.
Absolutely love your channel mate. As a young apprentice fitter machinist from Australia I definitely look up to your work and have so much respect, because I know first hand the time and effort machining takes. Keep up the great work mate 🇦🇺 🤟
I really appreciate that, man! There's nothing fast about manual machining 😁 Thanks
Awesome work just found the video that talked about buying your plans. Thank you very much from a newbie just getting started.
My pleasure! Thanks for the support!
I took 4 years of Drafting classes in High School and I drive my wife nuts when I pull out a simple scratch pad to show her what I am talking about in 3 views. Love your work.
😂 Thanks!
I would suggest putting a “cap” over the threaded hole on the replacement you made for the locking nut. It will prevent debris from accumulating in the hole. Also make a bigger box of shame or separate everything by metal type, buy/make a furnace, crucible, tongs, and mold to make ingots out of them for easy storage until you head out to the recycler.
I totally poached the dial indicator Idea I made mine the afternoon I watched this video, thank you for the content and the idea!
Nice!
