@Patrick-kc5ur Ай бұрын

You found the distance off the support to be 1/16" where I recommended it to be about 1/8" so it may not be all that critical? What is important is the leading/cutting edge be vertical on the finished pass and it may not be allowed to be anything else by virtue of the design of the sharpener. I'm doing this from memory from a few years back, so forgive me if I'm mistaken. I still use the sharpener without the lip stop with good results, and maybe that's just my method, that works best for me?

@alro2434 Ай бұрын

I gave you an undeserved thumbs up for showing what not to do! Why did you grind the hell out of that bit that was obviously extended too far?? Had the Craftsman version almost 60 years ago.

@mdw66799 Ай бұрын

I ground the hell out of the drill bit to show people what happens if they purchased this sharpener and follow the new version instructions that are incorrect on the drill bit extension past the lip rest. The old Craftsman and Snap-On (Blue Point) Version of the sharpener had the correct instructions as mentioned in the video.

Very nice and very accurate, but you need a laptop A more simple way to go ….. put a mini laser with a narrow point in your nice collet set up and see the laser light on the working top of your insert to see the right center height. Also easy on tools mounted upside down for safe parting with reverse spindle rotation. insert

Pushing on the left side of the slide to apply the clamp disengages the gib of the opposite side. An alternative is to mod the existing lock screw location. Put a ball brg in the screw hole that can be pushed onto the gib, drill & tap a hole in the top of the slide that will intersect with the ball just behind centre, put a point on a screw to push on the ball brg. Plug the original hole

The camera is extremely accurate. If you watch this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eM6CZqSonb-8ppc.html at about the 8:28 mark you can see the nose of the dead center. It is precision ground to sharp point. And its sharp. I know because I scraped the back of my hand against it and it cut like a razor blade. In the video you can see the camera is so sensitive it makes the tip of the dead center look flat when its zoomed in. I did some work after I used the camera to set the tool heights, and so far the ones I used are dead on. No more adjustments were needed. Thanks for the comment Jerome.

That is a great tool for a quick but rough realignment of the tailstock. Once you have that wonderful camera set up, have you considered making a dedicated tool height reference cylinder that sits on the saddle to check tool height. Some people measure off the lathe bed but I figure the saddle is a better solution for accessability at any time. Where did you purchase the scope? Cheers

I'm thinking about that. I see a lot of videos where people have made a reference cylinder. Thanks for the comment.

This is an excellent lathe for the price. In Australia it sells as the AL 960B for $6700 AUD $4368 USD, sometimes up to 10 percent cheaper when on special. Plan to make it my next lathe.

@badjuju6563 3 ай бұрын

Is the tool height the same while making chips? This seems like a lot of mincing round compared to just taking a facing cut and adjusting.

@billshiff2060 3 ай бұрын

Agree, You only want it pretty on center for facing cuts that go all the way. Otherwise it's not that important. In fact in the old days (my days) the standard for optimum cutting was to keep the tool 5 degrees above center. The idea was to always have a positive load on the cross slide lead screw. You also want to keep it above center for boring bars, especially longer ones.

I’m really enjoying the 5C collet chuck I got with my lathe, you might want to consider getting one for your ER collets. In my enthusiasm and ignorance I ordered both the 5C collet chuck and the collet closer thinking I could use both but have decided that the closer isn’t necessary for hobby work and will probably get rid of it. It hasn’t even been installed. Also, the closer adds more length to the headstock end of my lathe and that space is at a premium in my shop.

The 5C collets are on my wish list. The ER32's aren't the greatest.

I’ll think about doing this myself. I need to go back and re-watch Mr. Pete’s videos on using a shearing tool. I tried it on my last lathe but even with a very tiny cut it wasn’t rigid enough and protested too much. I’m also lucky to live 15 minutes from a Metal Supermarket so I don’t need to order materials online.

When you first started turning the stock on the lathe I noticed one of the handles on your quick change gearbox bouncing around quite a bit. My PM-1236T does exactly the same thing and I've often wondered if I had a bent shaft in the gearbox. I'll worry about it less now that I've seen yours doing it as well!

@mdw66799 4 ай бұрын

I was also concerned about the carriage feed gearbox handle movement. Its more noticeable on my videos when I put them in fast motion. Evidently we are not alone. I saw where someone else on a forum mentioned their 1236T lathe does the same thing. Doesn't seem to effect its performance. I may contact PM to see if this is an issue.

@robertpearson8798 3 ай бұрын

Mine does this as well.

@radardoug 3 ай бұрын

I'm glad to see all this confirmation here. It prevented me from tearing into my gearbox to check for a bent shaft. Hopefully PM will have something to say as well.

What size pop rivets or does it matter

@mdw66799 4 ай бұрын

I used 1/8 diameter by 3/8 Long Stainless Steel pop rivets. I think that's the same size Minn Kota has on their parts list. I couldn't find that size at any of my local hardware stores in Stainless Steel.. So my choices were order them from McMaster-Carr part # 97550A515 or Order them from Minn Kota. I chose McMaster-Carr. On the bottom plate as seen near the end of my video, I used #8 by 3/8 long stainless steel screws. That's the only place you can use screws rather than pop rivets. I tried the pop rivets on the bottom plate by they wouldn't hold because their biting into a slot instead of a hole. Found the stainless steel screws at my local hardware store. Hope this helped with your question.

I’ve been thinking about doing this as well but I have a workbench and a bank of drawers directly behind my lathe and I currently keep my holders in that. I’m not sure if a rack would be enough of an improvement for me. I may build a shorter rack for the same spot to hold my drill chuck and centres, they tend to roll around in a drawer.

@mdw66799 4 ай бұрын

Drawers would have been better, But with 2 lathes and the milling machine my space is limited. I keep the chuck and centers in their original boxes in the storage cabinet under the lathe. Kind of a hassle getting to them sometimes. Thinking about making a spot for them at the right side end of the lathe backboard where it 90 degrees down.
