Combining blacksmithing and machining. & Putting my Grizzly G0750G lathe to the test. FarmCraft101

Combining blacksmithing with machining just makes sense though it is rarely done. To make a bolt head/shoulder, you can either turn down the whole rod wasting a lot of material, or, as I show here, you can upset the rod on the end to make it wide enough to form a head. This is just an experiment, and I have many ideas on how I could do it better next time, as well as other ways that I can make my use of material more efficient using "blacksmachining".
I also wanted to see how my new lathe would handle the tough interrupted cut on the rebar, as well as check it's accuracy on turning a long, relatively thin rod. Overall, I am pleased with the results.

I can't believe i've never seen or heard of this channel until yesterday when YT suggested your soda can lower receiver video to me. You've got yourself another happy subscriber. These vids are amazing!

@bradymcphail9690 7 жыл бұрын

So, even though I've been a metal fabricator and welder as my main profession for over 401 years, I've never turned on a lathe or milling machine. I feel like I'm as dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to machining. your explanation in this video makes total and complete sense! I have a small lathe that my grandfather left me when he passed. He was a master machinist. It's been a priority for me to become at least an acceptable machinist. thank you for helping me in my journey.

Really neat output...it's great to take something like rebar as a source material to make something beautiful. I appreciated the threading explanation. Being a woodworker, I feel completely overwhelmed by metal lathe tooling, so your purchases and explanations are helping share confidence :)

It is just barely "steel". It is one of the lowest quality commercially available steels. Just needs to be able to be hot forged, bent to shape and keep concrete from falling apart. That being said it is still plenty strong to hold up a keyring... and bridges :)

I am curious how the bubblegum steel in that rebar would hold up as an actual bolt. That being said, I never would have thought to put rebar in a lathe. For messing around, rebar = waaaay cheaper than cold rolled.

I will say that when I was where you were when making this video, we thought very much the same. I'm sure we've both grown a lot over the last few years. keep up the great videos, they have improved in picture and sound quality immensely! Great work, love the channel, and when I grow up, I want to be just like you John (Spelling?) Roger from Calgary.

@gilbertodiazcastro8871 7 жыл бұрын

Nice job. There are two things I would do different. 1. Use the follower rest for final thread cuts, thus will ensure even thread depth and cutting angles. 2. The cord that tides along the top of the back splash will eventually damage the paint on the contact surface and even worse break the wires at the contact point to the box it attaches to. I would make a hanger to allow the cable to hang freely from the friction and add a spring where it enters the box to keep the bend to a shallow bend.
