Thanks! I learned this in 7th grade metal shop, and haven't used it since.... so when I got my Atlas lathe I was in need of this info. Nice job, you are a great teacher!
I love your work. Thanks so much for the help. I am just beginning and find your videos extremely helpful.
Can you do a video on setting up the lathe (i have a small hobby lathe) to do some basic tasks like skimming the side of some bar, parting off etc with a focus on tool setup.
Would you address radius sizes? I find that I have a tendency to grind mine too small and the finish isn't very fine, but too large and the lathe chatters.
After watching the 1st vid i had a go and it works well. I usually use indexable inserts so most of this is pretty alien to me. But you just carn't make a custom grind we out using hss tool steel. Thanks for your wisdom. Is this the same Tubal Cain who has written in 'model engineer' magazine.
MrPete// If there is one thing I haven't seen anybody cover its what RPM is good for each metal.. say steel, cast steel, aluminum, brass.. People can't tell in videos just how fast an object is spinning on a Lathe and they think it has to go incredibly fast to do anything with the tool... Sounds like a Video?!?!?
Cool, Mr. T.

Thank you. Now that I know why the angles need to be what they are, maybe I can remember how to do it.

I'll bet most viewers fail to recognize the significance of the name "Tubal-cain".
Excellent choice of name.
Your videos are the most useful metalworking videos I have seen. Thank you for taking the time to make them.

Thanks MrPete,
Better than a book. Do you realize that you are now the "old machinist" that's teaching us? :-)
