Thanks buddy 👍

Working alone eliminates someone else's failure. 😉

@@userwl2850 Trial and error is the best way. I learnt my lesson trying to drill stainless sheet metal. Killed all the Hss. 3/16 drills I had. It kept heat treating it trying to drill through it over and over again. Lessons you dont forget when you find solution. Love your set up with the tube holder and the massive hunk of rod. Steady rest has some mods too. Save the core for other projects. instead of making 300lbs of chips for the recycler. Hats off.

Thanks Chris. Maybe I should film the bad things that happens 🤔

@@userwl2850 Yes a few of the hiccups but most importantly how you put a balls up right would be most interesting to see how you fix it .

The gap is not in line so need the Chuck in Chuck for short jobs 👍

Hey Chris.. they always meet up. Only thing that happens is like I said .. The bore gets smaller... not by much.. that's why it's best to meet up halfway. Going for a pint now 🍺🍻

🤣👍

Thank you 🍺

Wow... thanks Richard. What a compliment. How are you these days. No videos for a while now.

The Lang lathes are brilliant... very strong but not as good as DSG lathe. 👍

Over time you get to know each machine has their own quirks.

Thank you

I'll make a video next time I do it... 👍

Yes it's a Lang. 👏🏻

I like your thinking.. very intelligent. They are set so the forces do that.. works easy on short stuff but obviously there are limits. 👏🏻👏🏻

I'm currently making a Trepanning tool to cut 75mm. Stay tuned. 🤞

@@userwl2850 Thanks David for your kind response. I truly admire your machining accomplishments. One of my "accomplishments" working in a "job shop" that I still remember (and still have a NFG sample), I once had to cut many trepan faces on multiple parts around and over an existing 3/4" dia. that stuck out 2 1/2" inches in front of the intended trepan face of this lathe part. The trepan inside dia was to be from the shaft's existing 3/4 dia, cut to an outside dia. of 1/3/8", approx 9/16" deep.....into H13 material! The bottom insides of the trepan had to finish with 1/16" radii both inside and outside. I had to hand create/machine a tool holder, which held two custom created and custom ground "standard" carbide inserts... top and bottom. A round plunging/pecking tool with clearance for the existing shaft. The problem of course was the tightness of the radial clearance and fragility of the tool to accomplish this clearance. Coolant flooding of the tool and chip removal (pecking) was essential for success (Also many "backup" carbide inserts). The shaft dia. plus major OD and multiple face(s) of this machined part were all later (after heat treat) OD ground together square and parallel with each other within tenths, so that all surfaces fit into a precision injection mold of some kind without leakage or "flashing". BTW The insides of these parts were also a "bitch", as they had a relatively deep (1/14" ) and small (1/2") internal fine thread and "seat" inside the shaft, that had to bottom precisely for some kind of replaceable nozzle insert?

Loose coolant through steam as it gets hot. Thanks for your nice comment. 👍

Exactly.... 100% correct 👏🏻👏🏻

Too quiet. Hard to tell when things start to go wrong.

I honestly don't know.. 🤔

They always meet up true but as I said the hole can get smaller. Best to meet halfway.

I think it is a John Lang & Sons lathe. Looks like one shown on Tony Griffiths website.

@@hmw-ms3tx thanks, it is an impressive machine.

It's a Lang lathe. The core gets tighter exactly at the halfway point.

When I get to depth bore by trepanning the first half the tool is brought out with the job still spinning. Less chance of tip breaking.

The tools are made from 16mm wall pipe. They're really not heavy. 👍

The rotating workpiece keeps it mostly straight anyhow. If the drill was turning and the workpiece stationary you’d have a lot more of a problem.

Thank you.

YES. Lost a few tools over the years.

Gas pipes I think. 🤔

It's safe when the metal is chipping 🤞

Master Yoda 🤣

Oh.... if only that were possible..... actually it's a damn good idea.... need to look for a longer bar 😉👏🏻

userwl2850 I have lots of good ideas, if only some of them were practical.........

@@chrisstephens6673 well you are halfway there with the ideas, now to find the solution.

@@markfryer9880 there's the rub, anyone can have an idea but.......

Yes exactly that 👏🏻👍

Thank you.

I've never heard that before and.... I love it. What a great thing to say. 😎

Yeah !

If it’s possible, I’ll do it strait away. If it’s impossible, it’ll take a little longer!

Look at my "Trepanning why through coolant is important" video.

🤣 yes women don't seem to be into mechanical things. Let's leave them to washing pots and pans. 😉

Tell that to my daughter she would not agree latest thing for her forging a knife

Hi. I have many videos that show that if you look on my channel 👍

I make all tools for deep hole boring.

@@userwl2850 thanks

Gas pipes I think.

😂🤣 it's coming soon. 👍

Oh dear.... this is much easier 😩

GUINNESS 😉🍺

Gas pipes 👍

Holds the Splash tray. Had me buggered for a while too.

Gas pipes 👍

Holds up the coolant guard/splash pan.

It holds Th e coolant guard.

Or a giant gun barrel 💣💥

Cheers Alan. 🍺

Not much if they are done exactly half and half.

Approximately 6 hours each 👍

Yes.. it gets used a lot. 👏🏻👍

Gas pipes. 👍

Very boring indeed 😩🤣
