Hate painting my work. I can never get it to look like yours. Great video. I like that you don't spend 10 minutes showing us CAD models in Fusion. It's the kind of stuff we all have to do in our shops: building expedient solutions. I get frustrated with channels that show how to fix a problem like this by engineering a new thing in Solidworks and then use a $100,000 5 axis CNC machine to make it from 4140 billet. Yours turned out great.
I have been told by those that have Lathes, when looking for a Lathe, make sure it comes with at least, a extra 4 Jaw Chuck, Steady Rest, and a Follow Rest. Yet, to this day, I have NEVER seen anyone use a Follow Rest. Looking forward to seeing this bad boy do it's stuff.
@@VanoverMachineAndRepair Oh, I've already booked my reservations for that one. Now I'm assuming the Follow Rest Saddles on the cut side of the project?
We want more! We want more!! We want more!!!:) The only channel where I can say this three times!LOL. Excellent work. Such a pleasure to follow you from my chair and computer screen. Thanks for sharing. I will be there to see this rest actually working!! WWG1WGA
Now thats what i´m talking about. What an excellent job. Very cool ideas in the process. Built like a tank, this follow rest will provide the service you are looking for. TOP.
Loving your content, hard work, and need that lead screw video to drop now 🙏💯💥👏🏴👌😃 Hope that RU-vid algorithm will reward your great work ethic, hope you smash it up, with the extra effort you throwing in..👍
I’ve heard that impact driving works very well but I haven’t been brave enough yet to try it. In my experience I’ve found that hand tapping breaks and chips more taps than power tapping.
question: i also have to make a lead screw for my lathe. my follow rest has (pretty worn) brass tips so i was thinking about swapping them for bearings, but now i see you did the opposite in this case, yours had bearings and you made new ones with brass tips, is there a reason? you said you were gonna use the ones you had, im guessing the brass tips have a better chance of not damaging the lead screw threads?
I used ones from a steady rest which is why they had bearings. To my knowledge all follow rests use brass because you are kindof sliding sideways on a part so the load is not just radial. I would think bearings would just scoot across especially on threads.
Kyle does nothing half-a$$. Even when he hurts himself. 😉 But I was disappointed I didn't hear the obligatory CAD joke. Not really. Nice job as always!
