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." Bill in OKC? William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by: Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.? SEMPER GUMBY! Physics doesn't care about your schedule. The only reason I know anything is because I've done it wrong enough times to START to know better. Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

Phil Kerner, that's exactly who I'm talking about. I'm subscribed and He's re-releasing? all his old videos again. 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! Bill in OKC William R.

Re: 13" Southbend with taper lock spindle in Maryland
开云体育The taper attachment was standard fit for all toolroom lathes of all sizes, but engine lathes could be up-specced with a T.A. at time of ordering is my understanding.

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 . animal On 3/16/24 1:22 PM, john kling via

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. ?

Wow. Lots of questions. One fact is really obvious. My machine operator pair should take cuts 10x deeper than I am.
The lathe head and all associated gearing is good. It was recently rebuilt and all pins, etc. were replaced correctly. Of that I am pretty certain. The drive unit moves freely, was also rebuilt, and operates correctly.?
Speeds are from the ebay chart I bought. The HSS tools I grind are based upon lots of videos I watch. I bought a jig to help get the angles correct. My carbide are inserts, many are still the original chinesium, but are being replaced
by higher quality as they die. I use a Boxer quick change toolpost.
Now, here is where I feel the problem lies since I do not have the power to make deep cuts:?
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. On 6/25/23 14:24, Brandon Corey wrote:

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.
