Honestly I have seen guys make boring bars this way for the lathe. If I had to nit pick that death towel he put in the bed of the lathe is an accident waiting to happen.

🙏💐

It's a chip guard. I often place a drop cloth on the ways when cutting iron or something else messy

@@halfcircleworkshop I think the cloth is a bad idea because it could easily get caught in the turning and cause a bad injury. I'm not over-zealous with safety but that is an obvious catastrophe waiting to happen.

Yep me to when I did my training 40 years ago I'd have been slapped and had to lift an anvil for a minute never forgo t again with rags or loose clothing etc near revolving machinery

@@sgtphilipm... You got off lightly!.. I'd have to lift an anvil and stand on one leg 😂😂😂

Watched a similar video recently, the guy was wearing a smart silk necktie. You could see those workshop machines drooling at the menu.

Thank you very much!

You're welcome!

Thanks a lot

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you very much!

Had similar thought. But then the penny dropped (then I realised), he was demonstrating why NOT to throw out broken tool bits: They can be perfect material for DIY custom tools bits.

@@Mastermind-I'm here to help, my qualifications - thirty five years experience employed as a high precision toolmaker in metal and plastic industries working to size tolerances to 0.00005" surface finish 2 micron of inch, other duties include instructing apprentices in their training. Now to your question: It is best practices to clamp lathe tools as close as possible to the tool post. This reduces flex and strain on the machine. Flexing can also produce vibration, reduce the life of the cutting edge and leave a poor surface finish. The work clamping arrangement on milling machine is far from satisfactory. The purpose of the flats machined on the boring bar are not explained. The work piece shown bored on the mill could as easily be machined on a lathe with the correct swing. The work piece being held on a face plate or independent four jaw chuck. There are always exceptions to the rules to get the job done, but on the main best practices should be maintained which incumbences machine shop safety. Cheers

@@AquaMarine1000 As a machinist of nearly 60 years experience I agree with you 100%!!!!!!!!!!!

Step down gentlemen. Remember your learning days. High precision is not direct translation of hand-skills and ingenuity.

Many many thanks

@@Mastermind- sir please more upload on lathe machine related ideas. Thank you sir.

Sure , my friend@@nathkrupa3463

Thanks and welcome

Thanks 👍

Glad it helped

gracias mi amigo

Terima kasih temanku

Depends on your situation how much that time is worth .. If there's a deadline and the replacement parts are stuck on a container ship somewhere off the coast of Los Angeles, or if you're in a country where labor is 1.50 an hour, the numbers change..

I would've agreed except that we don't all have Amazon/Ebay one day delivery. As you say Time (10 days delivery), is money.

Muchas gracias por su atención y opinión

Merci mon ami je suis content que ça t'ait été utile

🙏👍💐

Thanks for the visit

Two tools. His two hands. Magic is in the brain. It called skilled ingenuity.

Thanks

Thanks

Glad it was helpful!

Offset boring reply. Try ordering a replacement part whilst on a ship wallowing at sea desperate for repair. Skilled ingenuity has saved many souls.

Say nothing. You'll feel much better.

He made the cutter for the boring bar out of the broken piece from the end mill.
