Just came up from the basement where I admired a part I made just this way. What a coincidence to see a video of that a few minutes later.

At last a Clickspring part I would be happy making myself! I don't feel quite such an amateur now!

Key is when aligning the tailstock with a cone, to measure at EXACTLY centerline height. Any deviation will result in a different cone. So better to make a 'feeler', hinged at some distance (for instance set on the tailstock bed), let that follow the cone and measure on this feeler.

My lathe has a Morse one taper (not easily found in most supply houses!) so I used this exact technique to make my own tailstock holder to Clickspring's plans.

My little lathe has a morse 0 taper for the tailstock and I didnt even know that existed until I got the lathe :) I machined my own taper and made the clickspring burnishing tool with the big tin disc to lap the ends of screws.

I also did the same to make a MT to hold an old chuck I had in the junk box.

Just used this exact process thank you, getting that dial indicator in was easier than it looks! Once I had the taper very close I used a MT2 reamer and its come out brilliantly well. PS I am surprised at how much force is required to get an MT2 reamer started but once going its impressive. Always enjoy your videos :)

Fine work - but as a woodturner, less precision is usually acceptable for my occasional needs. So I made a jig to make 2MT hardwood tapers. I took an existing steel 2MT and laid it on a board, fitted two short pieces of steel angle against it, and then screwed the .angles down. Then I applied some PSA 120 grit abrasive paper to the angle jig. After turning a hardwood blank to near-shape, then I do the final shaping of the taper with the angle jig, either by hand or on the lathe. It works for me.

Great job. I love it when the indicator comes out. Ive also used a sine bar to set up tapers on the lathe. Have you ever used a taper attachment? My Hardringe has a nice one. When I worked repairing aircraft parts, we wore out indicators on a regular basis. Fortunately, United Airlines paid for them.

👍👌👏 Extremely well done again and as always (video and work). It's always very satisfying to fabricate your own tools (even repairing or improving them). Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.

Beautiful work as always! I’d love to hear the story if there was a moment or project that inspired you to pursue the path you’ve taken and also any projects that didn’t seem particularly influential at the time but that have become more significant to you over time

When I saw the lathe dog I thought you were going to use the offset tailstock method of cutting a taper.

When you dial in the compound to the taper how do you make sure your indicator stylus is measuring the precise 9 oclock position of the taper OD?

@criggie Жыл бұрын

How would one do this exact taper with just the sherline? Rotating the head is fine but that's a lot of stickout with no tail support. I'm wondering if a separate off-axis footstock would help, screwed directly to the bench. Or is the sherline just too darn small ?

@juliankandlhofer7553 Жыл бұрын

Lovely work! Any particular reason why you dont use carbide inserts over HSS tools?

@trolleriffic Жыл бұрын

I think I read a comment from Chris in a previous video saying that he preferred HSS because he could easily make and maintain his own tools that could be unique to a particular job if necessary.

what are these used for?

@michaelmclachlan1650 Жыл бұрын

This particular item? The cylindrical aluminium item at 02:07 is a die holder intended for use in the Sherline lathe see at the end of the clip. The item being made is the support for the die holder, the Morse taper enables it to be both accurately and firmly located; Morse tapers 'lock' in place and require a small amount of force to remove. The support, runner if you like, goes into the tailstock which has a matching Morse taper socket. The die holder then slides along the parallel section of the support as the thread is being cut. Morse tapers range in size from 0 as here up to 7 and are normal on lathes and very common on milling machines and drill presses.

Fun fact: when Chris was using the soft-faced hammer at 2:50 to align the job, the tapping was in Morse code and read: Tap Tap Taptap Tap Stop. This comment is wrong in soooo many ways... 🤭
