Insightful teachings, Sir. I'm sure you'll make 80k subscribers :) Ever thought you'd be doing this 8 years on? Congrats, and thank you!

very nice video John I really enjoyed........you really know your stuff....great job....I watch them all......I'm also a retired machinist millwright.......79 years young.

Thanks, John! I like that follow rest (traveling steady rest). Carriage really does always seem to speed up when close to the end of the thread! Nice tip on setting drive gear clearance.

Very interesting, your lathe is is very nice and well taken care of. Thank you for sharing the craft.

Nicely done! I picked up that you have a handle on the nut that holds down your tool post. That is a great idea (no wrench needed). Sounds like a project I will be making. Thanks for the tip....

Very skilled machinist you are bravo !

that's a good trick to set the gears clearance, thanks

Enjoyed your film John,I will be looking at the rest of 'em.

Happy New Year. I enjoy seeing all your videos. In this I really drew attention, that contrary to what my dad taught me, you tools to thread the counterpoint and not towards the head around. Just wanted to share this with you. Congratulations on your talent and thanks for sharing. A hug from Mexico.

muy buen trabajo bien detallado

Didn't know about that paper trick. Good to know

Nice video, what material are you using in the acme rod?

Don't know what all the fuss is about, seems perfectly understandable to me... Thanks for showing this. That insert with the "depth stop" built in is very clever. I'd not seen one before. I wonder if ball screws could be done similarly, but with a different insert?

Es increible que sin entender el Idioma linguístico....EL IDIOMA MECÁNICO, TÉCNICO...en el video, se llega a comprender mucho. Magnífico!!!!!

Hi All I know about the material is that it was 316 stainless I was given it so that is what I used EN8 would have been my choice if I was buying it You should give it a go on your myford some fantastic work has been turned out on "old myfords" regards John

I would think in a production enviroment it would be run much faster Just playing at home nice and slow is my method John

he'll be fine with light cuts like that. I am surprised the machine is rigid enough to run inserts. I am surprised to see that insert too. Light cuts and slow speeds I guess it will last forever. In production the cuts would be much deeper and much faster and yes would have issues at that speed-or so I am told.

Could do with that 626 at the moment for the P800, need to raise the vice up 9 1/2" off bed so head clears when swung 90 degrees. Doin me ed in.

Thats an insert tool, wouldnt that wanna go faster so the heat leaves with the chips and dont go into the insert and thus making it expand, catch and break it...

Hello There, noticed you have a frequency converter on this lathe. Are you aware of the related cooling problems ?. I mean at low speed the cooling fan on the motor gets less efficient while heat production goes up. To avoid that you remove the normal fan and put on a constant running electric cooling fan, you can get those made for the purpose but some ducting and a normal fan will do as well.

Hi It is 316 stainless steel

Хоть и не по нашему, но вполне грамотно.!

What did you say???

your accent says you should be calling out in metric?

3:43 Metric conversion - commonly 120 tooth w/127T - you said 100 - are ye sure?

It is made from bronze lol

Translation please. Only kidding John.

could you up load this in english please. for clarity when i say english I mean the english we here in the states speak,thanks
