I’ve done that a thousand times by mistake and thought to myself” if I tried to turn a diameter that small I couldn’t do it”😁. Awesome video man. All of you guys really do a great service to the trade by making these videos. I wish I had these videos a long time ago. The school of hard knocks may have been a little smoother😁. Keep up the good work man.

My Father used to say: "The impossible we do today, miracles take a little longer." I would never have thought this was possible & I would never have thought to do it all at once, too used to "sneaking" up on things with small increments. Eyes, tightly focused, open mouthed & jaw dropped was how I viewed, such extraordinary skill, hardly daring to breathe fearing to mess it up. Daft really as it's a video, but it just so strongly captivated my mind as if I was there. Thank you for this extraordinary demonstration.

Joe, gotta thank you for this video. I had to make some hinge pins for some antique hinges. Of course they were a odd size. In order for the doors to operate correctly the pins had to be tight. I remembered this video and tried the technique. Worked like a champ even on my old clapped out 10" atlas. Very impressive.

Wowzers again, Joe π ! I have put off a customer that needed some emergency firing pins for rock blasting equipment that required a 200mm long solid cylinder with a 2.1mm o.d. with a 4mm "hat" at one end with an o.d. of 7.3mm. I'll try a delrin receiver tube to support the "flying" end. Stainless would be a good option because his blasting equipment is used outdoors. So, I'm off to the shop to see if I can produce the parts with your impressive technique accompanied by a wish I had some of your obviously amazing skill set: let's see if I can learn this skill. I want you to know that I learn a lot from your videos and often watch them several times. Wishing I could give 100 thumbs up, and best regards, jim.

I just bought my 1st lathe, an old S.B. 13". I never used a lathe, or even saw one being used outside of YT videos. The first thing I needed to make was a piece for a tool I designed. The piece is made of brass, 3 in. L, .223 dia. stepping down 3 times to a dia. of .090. My first attempt, coming at it from the side, was a dismal failure. Then, I remembered watching this video. After figuring out which tool to use, I came at it from the front, established the diameter, and went for it. I used the micrometer knob on the crossfeed to move the tool back at each step. The part turned out exactly how I wanted it on the first try! Using this technique I could have probably made it .0090 if I really wanted to. I could have never done it without you. Thanks for making these videos and I look forward to watching many more in the future. You definitely earned my subscription.

I used this technique a couple weeks ago making a tool for work. The part was a 5.125" plunger pin that passed though two reamed bushings, and 8x .141" pins. The trick is to use a tool that puts as little pressure on the diameter as possible - you want all the tool pressure to be on the face of the stock. Getting the part on-size is easy compared to keeping it straight and concentric over a long distance. 303 Stainless threaded 4-40 at the end, turned .180" for 1.260" to a shoulder, .235" for another .780" to a shoulder, then .374" for 2.95". The .180" and .374" had to be polished. I started by turning 7/16" stock to .374, then worked it like shown. If you start with machined/ground stock, the stock will stay very true in the collet (I have a set of MSC Import collets that are surprisingly true). The tip threaded into a bar 2.900" wide that had to be square to the plunger. I found I had to single point the thread to near size, then follow with a die, other wise the die would bend the threaded portion enough to ruin the part. The bar passed along 8 pins .141" dia 1.25" long with a crown .236"dia. I ended up making the part 2 times. I dropped the first one and bent it. Both times it came out perfect. The tool itself was to remove the caps from a couple thousand tubes of DNA we inherited at work. Still getting around to publishing a build thread, it was a very interesting project :)

hey Joe! Only found this video now.... Back in the day (when the grass was still green, the sky still blue and sex was still a dirty word) I was asked to come up with a method to turn electrodes for spark erosion machines (this was in the early days of EMD technology ) We used a contraption that could have syringe needles mounted on the tailstock in which the part could spin, without flopping around. These electrodes were between 1 mm and 0.8 mm. We used needles that were used for taking blood samples and which were used for veterinary proposes. I will gladly admit a lot of material was wasted lol. Having been faced with this myself, I know this demonstration is Jedi-level machine work! This brings back some memories ! Thanks Paddy

Joe you got me thinking again, I have an old 1960 South Bend 13" Lathe I recently repaired and is running pretty good. I have a pile of carbide inserts of different shapes, some solid, some with a hole in the center, some with a chip breaker along the edges. Only 2 tool holders that work with the inserts. One insert is a triangle a little of 9/16" on each side with a chip breaker and radiused nose. I am not a machinist but a hobbyist and your videos have taught me many new ways of machining. After watching you remove the amount of metal in one stroke I thought I would give it a try. My lathe is 2hp and a 3 step pully using a 2.125" wide belt. I usually don't feed more than .125" but today it all changed. I was able to feed .800" cutting off of a 1.5" round bar. I believe it will do more but stopped at that point to look at the nice finish. I started with the top RPMs which is close to 1,000 RPMs, a little over what it should be due to a change in one of the motor pulleys. I only have 3 speeds to work with and found the middle speed worked best. It's somewhere around 430 RPMs to 450 RPMs. I have some solid carbide inserts that are square, round with a straight edge on the back just past center and other shapes. Thanks for the video, it helped me go a lot faster with the projects I am working on. By chance can you advise me how to match up carbide inserts with numbers to the correct working tool holder? I tried to find the Kennametal tool holder that you were using but no luck. I did find some KTGPR 164C tool holders, some were a D on the end, are they similar to what you have now? What insert will work with them. Thank you

If you use simple HSS toolbit, sharpened "scary sharp" with sufficient side rake on the top and a mirror-finish small radius stoned around the cutting corner, with a dead slow hand feed, you might get a surprise as to how deep a cut you can take. I have a couple of small lathes (old Myfords, ML7 & Super 7) which can both do this just fine.

Great way for someone to come up with a small piece when only a small piece / amount is needed. I would have never thought of turning it. Absolutely cool. Thanks for sharing. I use M2 and A2 small diameter, down to .038". I can not find anything smaller than 1/16". Tried every option. And because I use a lot, I have to make my own. No, turning it in my case would be cost prohibitive due to amount needed. I draw it to size. Well, yah, if you already have drawing equipment and plenty of dies, turning it as shown is much faster and easier if you only need one, or a few pieces. Need a lot, either draw it or centerless grind it.

Joe, excellent as usual. Besides the obvious machining skill you regularly demonstrate what is more impressive is your mindset and awareness of physics and the forces at work with machine tools. The inexperienced might want to "sneak up" on the dimension but would experience failure. Starting with a larger diameter and boldly going where no tool has gone before acknowledges that the small diameter that is the goal is only limited by the rigidity of the small diameter and /or the ability to support that diameter as its length grows. Your "mind set" is the reason you share so skillfully . And how many patents do you have? You da man!

@@petermoses5095 I need to remove most of the middle threads of a plain steel 8-32" slotted pan head screw that is 3 1/2" long and make the diameter suitable to thread it into a 5-40 die, while retaining the unmolested slotted pan head. I must end up with a 2" long 5-40" machine screw with, say, the outer 4/5th threaded. I have a good drill press and 3 nuts. The nuts I can sacrifice. To protect the chuck jaws I plan to slip the 8-32 screw into a short length of Aluminum tubing and maybe use one nut as a jam nut and the other two run down to the head, which (head) will be pointed down. Then I will put a file on the threads. What happens to the finish product? Front lock plate screw of a flintlock to the side plate on the other side the maple stock. The lock plate will have the internal threads (5-40") to accept this screw. The ram rod must clear the screw. A larger diameter screw would block it. But I want the head to match that of the rear screw, which is 8-32"

My jaws hurt from clinching my teeth when you drove that cutter in, WOW great cutter, seems like a waste of good stainless though. Love the video learning some nice tricks, Thanks Joe

I could have used smaller stock. It would impact how far out I let it extend.
