Advance METAL LATHE- boring steady rest facing

Shows set up and machining of pipe in preparation for using a steady rest. Filmed in our shop Oct 2008. This is a project for my home--(Trying to keep the vehicles off my fence.) Keaton Morris assisted me, he is one of my machinist students. This VDO is a rare posting of advanced techniques. I will not be posting many of my advanced vdo's-- those are for vantech school use only. This VDO is here to entice those to become a machinist. Knowledge of Set up and operation is what makes machinists skilled and valuable. Before you comment, remember there are hundreds of different ways to do the same job. I always try to complete things with safety in mind. Keaton and many of my students are looking for careers in the metalworking field. Call me at the school for more information.

Not enough spindle speed or drive...

its not a hard metal dont fear it!

The feeds and speeds= STUDENT SAFETY- It is best to be conservative in this approach. Crashes happen when students do not have experience on processes. Several other factors are tool geometry and radius of the insert, this dictates speed. In order to reduce vibration I have slowed the speed and reduced the feed. I need a good finish or the turned steady rest area would damage the roller bearings. Similarily, the bore begins with an intermittent cut because of the weld seem. Thanks

long sleeves ring watch , my teacher wouldve kicked me out the shop lol

[creamtt]

And you just hope and pray that on your finishing cut on the bore that the tool bar doesn't start vibrating

This guy is probably the best machinist i have ever seen!!!! (***rofl***) and i have been around the industry for 25 years now,

@bahhv2 In my class, the offender would face a firing squad where he stands at the wall and the class gets 2 shots each with a tennis ball. I imagine thats not allowed anymore.:(
