I have a high dollar Pratt n Bernerd 3 jaw that is vey accurate and repeats nicely. I don’t have to use the four very often if at all. But this video is well done and it’s nice to hear a fellow machinist that knows what he’s talking about and knows how to communicate.. rare these days.

very good video. i when i saw you use the rule against the dead center i thought why have i never thought of that. old dogs can learn new tricks. thank you

You take all the work out of it completely. Great job and great video. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for showing this vid I have seen it done before but not up close or explained! A very good and informative video I have subscribed , I have just got a new SC6 and I am in the process of aligning it up, thank you once again John Kinnane Tasmania Australia

I am so glad I found your videos.

Great job with the tutorial, fella. Great job.

Great video tutorial. Thanks for uploading young man!

nice the dial indicator is a must for hand milling machines as a point of reference and to gage any play in the material or equipment... i think it is an cool simple measuring device the makes you have really perfect measurements with out even really measuring

Thank you - I really need this information!

excellent video great job for beginners like me,I'm truly thankful I finally understand how to do it rite

Great video 💁‍♂️

Your Videos are really good for beginners and trainees . Im a Trained lathe Operator and searching for a channel like yours in my language. Keep up the good work. Greetings from germany.

Excellent instruction easy to follow.Thank You.

Got my interview tomorrow thanks!

Excellent explanation.

great info on indicting thanks for sharing i learn alot

Great video. I prefer to use the 4 jaw chuck as I can get things lined up much better than the 3 jaw chuck. I normally just use the circles to line things up. Thanks for sharing.

curious for chucks of different sizes do they all usually have the same jaws that you screw down into the chuck or is there different jaws you can buy. Not sure if different type of jaws for chucks are required to hold different things or is it usually one jaw type fits all for a specific chuck (lathe chuck that is )

There's also the possibility that the 'straight' bar stock isn't as straight as it's supposed to be. If the length hasn't been stored correctly there's always a chance that it has 'settled' and bent. As much as possible I keep my small stock of bar in the house and stored on end or flat on the floor (depending on length) to reduce warping. I do this for most of my steel stock, round square, angle, etc, to keep the _rust monster_ away! The rest is -scrap- ... I mean projects yet to be started!

Thanks for the videos. Say I wanted to face a part, then center drill it in preparation for live center tail support. Should this operation be done with minimal stick out, or should you face/center drill close to the chuck, then pull the work out to the desired length of stick out for turning (with tail support) and then re-dial in the 4 jaw chuck? Basically looking to see if it is necessary to dial in the 4 jaw chuck twice during that sort of operation.

VERY informative. Thanks for what you have done. May Jesus richly bless you and yours always.

And if that bar was really 3/8" or less in diameter, would you be tapping on it ? Is there an alternative way to aleviate the wobbling ? tnx.

Thank you for sharing. It's the same way I use to. But my 4 jaw chuck has worse quality than yours so sometimes it's difficult to feel the just tight on the wrench to reach a 0,01/0,03 mm runout. Anyway to be in that range is enough for most jobs.

the first time doing this took me almost 30 mins to do it correctly. After trying and trying again, i'm able to dial it in within 10 mins max.

wonderful video...

tnx for the great tip!

Very good

Help, I’m new to lathes, I have a 4 jaw chuck and spend a lot of time adjusting and if I need to turn the stock around I cannot seam to get it to cut even on the other side. Should I just use a self centering chuck or keep at working out the adjustable chuck? Thanks for the video.

Damn this is nice video

Best videos..... I learned lot

Very good and informational

Thanku for the video sir..

How do you use a dial indicator on rough surface like how do you true up the job of the dial just keeps flicking around

Awesome thank you !! What about dialing in a square piece in a 4-jaw…

I've seen grown men reduced to tears clocking a 4 Jaw. If setting up on a Forging, don't be afraid of using a length of pipe to the chuck key!!

Sir aapane bahut acchi video Banai lekin Hindi mein bnao.

As a novice lathe user, this video is very useful, but I think a 4 jaw chuck is too complicated for anything I intend to do.

y los subtitulos en español?

You tightened the jaws up too early. Don’t get them so tight to start with. I presume you were going to centre the end? As this was a long piece to turn unsupported. Taking into account this video was to show how to clock - up in a 4 jaw you never actually did that. Your chuck was naturally holding the work at an angle so it is out. Only packing shins will let you hold it tight and parallel so you can centre the end and support it in a revolving centre. Was a bit misleading to anyone starting out.
