If one looks at a lathe as a lifelong piece of hobby equipment similiar to a decent table saw, sewing machine etc the lathes in the 10 to 12 inch range are actually pretty cheap. Plus there are always used ones out there. Some are used. Some are used and abused. The machine Quinn has $2400 plus shipping. Myself I'd go for the one that's 8 inches longer for another 100 bucks. This is the kind of money you could easily spend on a weeks vacation somewhere nice. Plus if you find you really do not enjoy making chips you can always sell it pretty easy.

Whenever I see this much talent being shared with ordinary people (who aren't paying btw) , it makes me wonder about the motivation that inspires it? Regardless, thank you for making these videos! I'm an aspiring hobbyist who frequently struggles with not owning a lathe. Stumbling across your videos has be a game changer for me. Between your teaching and my mechanical curiosity, I think I've just been letting my anxiety about the whole idea keep me from making the purchase. Once again, thank you for taking the time to make these! Certainly worth our time to watch them!!

@alexandersell8558 28 күн бұрын

Thank you for this video. I have the same PM lathe as you and was able to successfully cut 1/2-13 threads in 316 SS after watching your video (I never tried threading on the lathe before this). Your incremental steps were the perfect primer and enabled me to finish the forward hatch for my steel sailboat. I ended up breaking and having to rebuild the change gear axles in the process and ruined a few inches of nice stainless practicing and determining which of the techniques was best for me, but I can now produce repeatable threads :>). Your videos are a great asset to the world and you help make all of us better machinists! Keep up the good work.

Quinn, I just wanted you to know that I've been struggling with screwcutting for several years and after watching this video about half a dozen times, I FINALLY managed to cut my first thread today on my little import lathe (I'm a Brit that uses metric, so went for an M12x1.75). It took me three goes to get something workable - and the third one was dog rough, but the nut went on. I can't tell you how delighted I am and you had a huge part in that. Thank you for all your careful explanations!

The hardest thing I find when learning a new topic is where to start. I find that rough knowledge refined over time with expwrice works better for me than an exact precise methodology upfront as I miss the broadstrokes.

Some of your more in depth videos go over my head but I'll get there 😅

Hey everyone- yes, I know there is a typo on one of the unit conversions. Save your comments about it. A lot of people are also asking about flipping the compound the other way for cutting left to right. Ideally yes, because then the cutting forces are pushing into the compound backlash direction. In practice it doesn’t matter because the cuts are light and this way the compound can’t hit the chuck. Lastly, I misspoke on the topic of stock diameter for thread peaks vs. flats. You’ll get pointy threads if the stock is a little too large.

@Clough42 3 жыл бұрын

Good point. Hitting the chuck with the compound is bad bueno. I took the corner off the compound of a Hardinge HLV-H that way.

@@somebodyelse6673 The tool remains square with the workpiece at all times, which is what you use the fishtail for.

My wife often has a chuckle when she comes into my workshop with my tea and scones to see my laptop set on a table with your page open and me pausing….doing….pausing….doing, but hey it works for me. You say you are a hobbyist and if that is the case then your mechanical mind must be like a sponge as you convey so much information in palatable chunks and with such clarity…..admittedly I have to sometimes watch a few times, normally 3 to understand.

I didn't even watch but the first clip of the lead screw cleaning, and have to comment before I watch the rest.. Not sure why I never thought of that or saw it anywhere else. Awesome.

I love your video style, I am an INTJ personality and get bored very quickly when there is a lot of non informative chatter in a video, I like just the facts. Your videos are complete and to the point, you talk quickly but not to fast, maximum amount of information in the least amount of time. Thank you and keep them coming.

I think there's a song about you... "She's a bad mamma jamma!" Something like that! I found your channel because you are mentioned as a supporter of the Making It podcast on Patreon. Now I need a metal shop to go with my woodshop!!! You're awesome! Thanks for the videos!

By far the best threading video i've found! 👍👍 I screwed up some threads this morning and decided to give myself a refresher. I'm so glad I did because the upside-down method is incredibly useful because i couldn't get my speed fast enough for carbide. 😐

Okay , This is my second time watching this video ..... I am going to try cutting threads tomorrow , I ordered a pre ground tool set from amazon . I did make a few chips today and I did much better . You are right , a sharp and correctly installed tool is the key .

0:34 I don't have a lathe. I don't even have a space for a lathe, but I watch all your videos! Thanks for showing me how to cut a thread on my imaginary lathe with an imaginary lead screw. It has a brilliant feature that I can change any gears needed with mind power :) Love your videos, keep up the great work

Thank you so much for this. I need to cut a rather obscure LH thread for an old machine and have been practising and failing to even manage the RH version. I was about to call it a day but watched your video to find out what I was doing wrong and then magically, success! Mostly the lesson was taking off the tiniest amount of material each time and making the same cut twice in a row towards the end and using the dial gauge rather than relying on what the indicator said. Thank you.

I started watching your channel like a year ago. Not that female has anything to do with it but I find it intriguing to see how you have educated yourself on the standards and best practices of the industry as well as you have. “ I like your videos, and would like you to keep making them” lol You should make a yo-yo out of 2”or 2-1/2” 6061. Complete with a steel spindle (your 12L14) and small bearing. I think you would ace it. Thanks, Brown hair guy

Clear and precise procedure, thank you. I have an old Atlas lathe, been a while since I've used it, now I'll have to go check it out and see what I can do. I just subscribed too.
