Those little tidbits of information are valuable to us DIYers. Your comment on inserts and finish was good. Never thought that a tiny change in tip radius would affect the finish as much as you alluded to.
Keep the comments that you add as it adds great value to those learning by watching your videos. Making a purse from a sows ear jobs are more important than those perfection only videos as not much is learned insofar as doing jobs to get the wheel back to turning is crucial to many a manufacturer.
Making a worn and damaged machine reusable is an art. How well you do it is up to you. If you would center the old gear on the sprocket and redrill the holes - the new gear and sprocket would not run out at assembly.
Honesty is the best policy. Anybody can watch Keith Rucker & make believe he's a good machinist. You made a man happy, got his job done & got a future job out of the deal. Making a living comes first, but satisfying a customer is king.
As an absolute beginner on a lathe I am very appreciative of your comments as you complete your work. It really helps me. Is it possible to also show how you work out your surface cut speed set up etc so us beginners learn from you. Any assistance in helping me become a better machinist would be appreciated. I am floundering in the dark at the moment as I live in a small town far from the big cities and can't find a course I can complete to become a better machinist. Thank you in advance
37:34 I don’t think I’ve ever been motivated to try and make some Lemons from my Lemonade But freudian slip aside thanks for leaving the mistakes in the videos. It’s real life, shit don’t always go perfect: we have a good days and our bad days acknowledging it openly is alot more genuine and in my book is very appreciated. The real world ain’t all about perfect machining, it’s about getting a suitable end result for the desired need and preferably achieving it in a timeframe to be profitable to do while simultaneously making the cost low enough to be a viable option to potential customers. At the end of the day machining isn’t a hobby it’s a business(or part of a business decision). Customers usually aren’t machinists or technicians and as such care about the cost to get the machine working again and give 2 cents of a rants ponder as to the level of tolerance or concentricity on the part you’re fixing. By and large customers fall into 2 categories ones that care about the details and ones that don’t … the ones that don’t are my favorite and as for the ones that do, they’ll usually have just enough knowledge and understand to be dangerous (i.e. know enough to have gotten themselves in trouble or be missing the big picture or lacking crucial fundamentals making it a headache to try and explain/teach). Glad your customer was helpful in providing the missing information, I wouldn’t have ever considered flipping the gear either.
Have you ever tried a single point roll burnisher to use in a lathe can be 2 small ball bearings. Or a captured single ball bearing running against a ball bearing.
Leave in the commentary. Most viewers are coming from other machining channels or were/are in the trade, we can compare notes and internalize knowledge through repetition. I didn't equate surface finish to depth of cut as much as to speed/insert combo.
i saw what u did there lol Mr boring. Im thinking you might have been better off doing the gears first so you can compensate for the shaft size needed to fix the round. Leave in as many mistakes as you can. not too many, just enough for ppl to learn and you dont look incompetent. LOL
