Lathe Turning

[MrGilburt]

look at craven brothers manchester

[arakifunkeymachine]

It seems to be a cannon of the battleship Yamato

[cumulo25]

HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[turtlemann14]

O.o that is a lot bigger than i have ever turned

does the iron oxide coating kill the bit in a pass?

carbide bits are so nice, but we are stuck with 5% cobalt bits :/

[taxalterror]

I do not know what you are going on about,the tube is coated with (shellac varnish).

The insert (tip)is a sandvic square 25mm x25mm chip break..

[turtlemann14]

ah, it looked like the black oxide you get on hot rolled

[maximebob001]

You should really put some coolant the sparks and the noise... you must break a lot of tools.

[taxalterror]

No tool breakage

[william4art]

@taxalterror dont you just love how people comment when they know nothing about what you are doing.. its quite obvious to me that you were taking a minimal pass just to make it truly concentric.. or the o.d was already close to the number

[william4art]

@maximebob001 You wouldnt use coolant on an o.d pass

[dagomachining]

@maximebob001 anyone whos machining shit that big probably doesn't give a shit about breaking tools. hell, we make small parts and don't give a shit about a broken tool. lol :-)

[savinuccio200]

non si capisce un tubo di quello che dice pero` e` simpatico

[milwaukee69]

I cut my machinist teeth on a LeBlond Tape Turn I...re-turning welded auger shafts for Pabst Brewing back in the '70's...looks like 3/8-1/2" DOC? LOL...the operator needs a bigger set of coveralls tho'...

[fraz101]

My what a big shaft you've got!

[Robbietfromsudbury]

Thats some cool shit! I'm a young apprentice and I love the trade. I also get to turn some big pieces.

[pitbike2006]

where is that place and what level enginer im level 3 and im only 15 lol 3 days at school and 2 days at college

[taxalterror]

This is a firm that makes overhead cranes.We are based at Derbyshire .Not so far away from you.

I don't no what you mean about the level of engineering.I have been at it for 34 years now, I had to do a full year at training school and then another 4 years day release..things have changed so much now,I mainly work on m/cing centres.but the way our work is going I will not be there much longer most of the work will be do in China.. so My advice is to go into something else

[pitbike2006]

ok thnaks jsut that im in college and i need to find somewhere to work for work experience and i liv in North wales colwynbay

[taxalterror]

Take some advice be an electrical engineer.Atb

[Deusrexmachina]

... Santa Paws working a lathe!? o_O

[therealtony]

I do this kind of machining at work all the time. Cool!

[taxalterror]

The tube was coated with (shellac varnish) thats why there is a lot of smoke.

[ve2zzz]

Dry cutting... with all that smoke and those sparks... i don't like it!

[indieciso]

Bien ! tio

cuidado se te estrelle el carro !

ahaha !

[MADROCKS212]

are you cutting that dry?

what tips were you using on that?

and did you use a steady or just a tailstock centre?

[taxalterror]

Yes the cut is dry.

The insert (tip)is a sandvic square 25mm x25mm chip break..

A four jaw chuck is used a the tailstock end..

[yuerol]

what marks your lathe nıce job
