Lathe Workshop for Beginners Part 1, Turning

I am not an engineer by trade , all I know is self taught, the methods I show may not be the usual way to do things, but they work for me!

Could the red lube be Marvel Mystery Oil ?

It's sold here in the States ! Works great as an additive to fuel and to crankcase oil to breakdown sludge !

[myfordboy]

@sojournearth Its some unbranded stuff I picked up at a show.

@ani4al I was taught at school the imperial system, I am older than you ! Metric came after leaving school. The main reason I use this though is all my machine tools are imperial and I can think imperial better than metric.

A lot of model engineering is imperial as a lot of designs are pretty old.

Hi, I`ve been watching this `couse I`ve got the German lathe. It is a model Wilhelm Grupp 1980 model,and I have no idea hoe to use it. It is quite big with many thinks on it.

Hi, Never thought about measuring like that before, I always measure the part then take off what it needs to be, so I can see how much I need to remove. I shall be trying it your way from now on. I seem to learn something new everytime I log onto youtube. Thanks Tim

@doobydooby223 I know what you mean with the Rocol. The smoke makes the chuck rust. The red stuff is an unbranded one I picked up at a Model Engineering exhibitionit was very cheap and works well. Not as corrosive as the Rocol. I have an extractor fan above the lathe and switch it on when it smokes.

Tarnishing might be the sulfur, its especially hefty on copper alloys. Was reaming some uber tough bronze, guess Alumnium bronze or similar . Got a bit too hot (hss reamer is still fine, no damage done, was pretty dull to start with, thats what caused the overheatingm, is an old one). The heavy sulfurized oil with the heat gave the bronze an almost blued finish, looked nice actually....
