Thanks for sharing. Need a tool, make a tool, build a project.

i would definitely of faced that before boring it ...just because it was annoying me! chuckle

nice ... (would have to have faced that plate!)

I assume this weld-up was what inspired you to buy a rotating weld positioner :) Or...did you have it already but didn't it fit?

Would have been a good job for your new welding turn table

I would exclude the grub-screw, for if it slips, it would damage the spindle seriously. Rely instead of the clamping-force alone.

Drill some circles at the end of your horizontal flex cut so the cylinder doesn't crack from repeated flexing?

Now you can use the machine to "turn between the centers" like a lathe.

6:08 ShopDog! Lordy, those ears! 😁

That is a nice job but I was surprised that you didn't face that plate.

Good morning Keith! 😊

Keith, Great Video! I have been one of your subscribers for a few years now but have been too busy for the past 6 months or so to tune in to KZfaq. You got thin! If it was deliberate then congratulations - otherwise I hope you are well!

wow, you lost so much weight, keep good care of your health!

Can't wait to see them put to work. In hunagrian we call these drive dogs lathe hearts actually.

Looks like a good solution to the problem.

I would suggest putting a stop drill hole at the end of the cur across the diameter, in use that will be a stressed hinge under cyclic load nice place for a fatigue crack to propagate from. Too late now, but hopefully the amount of use the part gets wont be enough to be an issue.

Keith I do believe your welds are looking better and better!

Nice work Keith 👍 I like it see you next video 😉

This helped me a lot. I had been pondering how to solve a problem where my drive dogs wouldn't reach over a live center I wanted to use. Thanks Keith!

Kieth, you're looking good buddy. Keep it up and you're and inspiration.

The mike set up sounds pretty good. Thank you. So annoying to us mere mortals, turn your head and the volume of your voice would double or disappear. Hope this fixes that issue. Always hit the like button anyway. It's all good.

Thanks for taking the time to post the video

Nice design and build. However, knowing how I am, I would have had cut the face to true it up as well. It looks wonky with the face run out to me. But since it isn't my project, if you like it as is, that's all that matters. Thumbs Up!

You mention a drive dog and a dog walks into the shot…😂

Hiya Keith

Your explanations are always great, but this fabrication was on another level. I have a little machine shop experience but figuring how to make this was way beyond me- I just learned a lot.

This would've been the perfect project for your new weld positioner. 👍👍

Morning from the UK Keith glad progress is being made up to actual use time, shop dog loojs happy too❤

That's super awesome! Your video inspires me a lot.

Gday from Australia Keith

Thank you for sharing. Very nice, always enjoy when you make something new for the machines in your shop. Enjoyed the video.👍

Always a pleasure to watch.

Good morning.

Another interesting video professor

That tube looks like a piece of Sherman tank barrel.

You're looking in good shape!

Another fine job Keith, keep up the good work!

Nice job Keith 👴🏻👍

This is such a cool and engaging project. Thanks!

I am wondering why you did not use your new Vevor weld positioner to weld the pipe to the plate.

time to feed it a project.

GREAT planning and execution.

If you use a 3/8 th drill for the first hole, you can easily follow it up with a 2” drill and skip the others.

Another way to make the hole in the plate would be to use a hole saw. You would have a 1/2" thick slug that could come in handy for some future project instead of turning it all into chips.

Thanks as always for the fantastic detailed video. I just need to find a new place and get a big barn for some big iron!

Hey bud looking better! Hope heath matters are and have been corrected. The weight loss is a good look for ya as well as a healthy thing!!! Go Keith!

Nice job, Sir!

nice stuff

Thanks for sharing 👍

if was makeing the drive plate i would bore the face plate center a little bit biger then weld the plate to the pipe on the iner then re machine it

Most excellent.

Good morning Keith. Great piece of tooling for the mill. Thanks for posting.

KEITH, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, PET AND OR TELL ALL HELLO...

Great journey thoroughly enjoyed it. Best wishes...

Thanks for the education!

It's looking good! I am looking forward to seeing you complete a job with this machine. Thanks for all your work.

thank you Keith

OK Keith. Give the W series tools and inserts a go. They're brilliant for interrupted cuts. However!... every time you use the plate, it's going to be waving about. For the sake of another two minutes machining you could have faced off the outer side and produced a beautiful looking piece. At some point you may need that outer face to be perpendicular to the machine rotary axis. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

Magnificent :)

Great video wish I had your skills thanks for sharing

ready for work keith!

You look amazing Keith!

As always well done. Could surely be used on a mini lathe too. Inspiring!

Great idea Keith. Nice work. This should work very nice. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Ed.

Looks great. I like the TLAR engineering

Face plate most know it by. Face plates have holes and slots. For mounting upon or driving a dog.

The only question is did the Rotary Welding positioner come before or after this video or was it partly the 'reason' for it 🤣

@ 1:28 Puppy Dog! 🙂

Missing a piece? No problem... I'll just make it.

liked for algorithm

I am surprised you did not use the Vevor cake rotisserie/turntable to weld it? Very anxious to see the big boring machine run! Frank

The makings of a great joke: "A dog and a drive dog walk into a boring machine shop ..."

I'm betting this "upcoming project" is that fire box or, that pitted locomotive related project that Abom used his shaper on and I think Brian block had a crack at it also

I wish I had a dollar for every time he says “it’s not critical”.

What's the name of that white coyote sneaking around in the background? It looks like a real stickybeak.

Are you going to use the Horizontal Boring Mill to machine the inside bottom of the Steam Engine Pony Motor?

Im surprised you arent using your welding positioner.

assume you did this before you got your Vevor weld positioner.... also curious why you didn't turn down the end of the tube a little, bore a hole in the plate for the tube to fit, then weld and bore tube?

5:58 - Got a DRO up there, no? 21:14 - What?!

Any update on the Stoker Engine?

Not sure why you didn’t use your welding positioned to weld the plate onto the tubing?

Keith, what's the name of the puppy and what breed? The horz. mill is coming along quite well, can't wait to see it in action. PS You should have used your positioner to do the circular welding, and what about a counter weight for clamp ears.

Drill a hole in your plate and weld it to a MT 5 center. Finally going to finish that firebox.

😛😛😛😛❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

DOG!

How many amps did you use to weld the faceplate?

I'm guessing this was done before he got the new weld positioner. Would have been a good job for it.

What happened to the new weld Positioner

I assume this had a long thought process, "Ok that makes sense but let me think about ... "

What is your dog's name?

Dogs ever get chips in their paws?

If only you had a machine to rotate that part while you were welding it…

Let me guess. Line boring a cylinder.

push mig never drag

? a new pup. He/she is definitely white.

Round part ... new rotary table ... why not use that Keith???

Keith CAD = chicken scratch

ffs Keith .... square the face up ..even by your standards its a mile out ..
