Re: An interesting You Tube channel

 

I'm watching it on my cell phone, and I'm not seeing the faults you describe. Not saying the video is perfect or anything, but I don't think it is fairly classified as "unwatchable."

I've seen better, but also worse. Once upon a time, Uncle Sam paid me to produce & film such things. I mostly did still photography, not video, but did film a 16mm "martial arts" movie. I'd classify that as "worse."

I say if he's going to do that, he could rerecord with better equipment and make it usable.

Watch this video on Starrett Multi anvil mic, it's completely unwatchable.
1080p ? nope it's all low quality, dark, dim, unfocused.
You can't see the micrometer at all.

Re: Starrett Micrometer instructions

 

Yes, Thank you! I was given an old Starrett 1" micrometer a few years ago, and didn't get a case or instructions for it. For free, I wasn't about to complain, of course!

Re: Depth of cuts

 

开云体育

Some belt slippage is good? it can prevent a hard crash . How much slip , well that is different for each machine . I can't give any input on the link belt as I am running a V-belt that my machine came with? . If yer belt adjustments are all good you should be able to take a depth cut that corresponds to to the chart ya got on Ebay . Sounds like maybe ya should come up with some kind of shield to keep the drive unit clean of oil ? I don't have a problem with oil on my drive setup .? Can't say anything about the question of the channel flexing , we don';t know what kind of channel yer using .

I use a link belt on the motor. It slips especially as oil gets on it. The bearing in the drive unit slings oil. The drive belt to the lathe head is a serpentine auto belt. It seems to transfer power efficiently. The drive unit is mounted on channel so it's adjustable.??

I am wondering about switching to an auto v-belt for the motor. Next, could the channel be flexing? It is the kind used to support conduit.

What sort of carbide are you using? I've never had good luck with the 0 degree rake brazed carbide. I hear that it wants to run really fast.

I have a 1949 vintage SB9C, with 6 speeds. I replaced the 1/4 hp motor with a 1/2 HP one. I use carbide a lot, but HSS still gets used some. Many of the videos say I should take at least a 0.005" cut for the best finish. I usually cannot take more than 0.002" with dragging down, or stopping, the spindle.

What's reasonable for me?

Re: Depth of cuts

 

Link belts stretch terribly, both long term and elastically. ?Also, depending on type, if the V pulleys or belt are significantly worn on the cheeks, the rivets can bottom out on the grooves of the pulleys, which pretty well eliminates the friction necessary for power transmission. ?Use an endless V belt. ?It is only worth using link belts either if you can double them up where doubling would not otherwise be necessary, or you have a big movement on the belt tensioner, preferably with self adjustment e.g. by the weight of the motor hanging on it.

Re: Probably not a good thing

 

They haven't made quality products in decades.? Some of the stuff I have seen was laughably bad.? Last time I bought a bore gage from them it was still made in the USA and finally I accepted the third one.? A shop bought a full set of around 6 bore gages and all were bad out of the box.
