Finish Making a Tool Post for the BIG Lathe! | Part 2 | Shop made Tools



Our Shop Made Tool Post turned out amazing, let’s see how it handles the big boring bar! This video is Part 2 of making a standard style 4-position tool post for our big lathe. While the tool post is out for tufftride nitriding we are going to finish making the other parts. We show the step by step process of turning scrap stainless steel solid bar into the new spacer, nut, handle and dowel locking pin. Once all the parts are finished we assembly the new tool post on the big lathe and setup the big boring bar for boring out the internal diameter of a big piece of tube.

  1. We hope you enjoyed this video of the completion of our tool post build! This project was about a days work and approx $500 in materials, all up we think that's a worthy investment that's going to quickly pay itself off with being able to do all of the boring of material for our cylinder builds. 😎👍

  2. That boring bar is obscene Sr. 🤣. And you did make it in proportion so you don't get shattering. Fkn Legend. And will get bigger, maybe an extension in the back of your tool post so you can also balance the weight and do bigger jobs, but I remember you already have the new machine, that is not exactly the same, but it does similar stuff. Great work man!!

  3. A note about thrust bearings: the two races may not be identical, so be sure to measure both.

    One will have a precise I.D., and a slightly under-size O.D.
    The other will have a precise O.D., and a slightly OVER-size I.D.

    The first is meant to remain fixed with one side, with clearance for the "outer" object.

    The second is meant to remain fixed with the outer object, with clearance for the other.

    A case where the differnces matter is if installed to a lathe's cross or compund slide feed-screw. One race will turn with the screw, but must have clearance for the slide (if it's in a pocket). The other race will be in contact with the slide, but must have clearance for the feed-screw thru the bore.

    Now, depending on the application, with clearences all-around and contact only made to the faces of the races, the above differences may not matter, but it's something to be aware of.

  4. Great vid, Thanks!! what do you do with all the material that you remove with the lathe? do you recycle it and get money for it? how much percentage wise do you get back from it? can you make a vid of tit?
    thanks!

  5. The big lathe gets better and better. The new toolpost looks great.
    I remember a video not too long ago Kurtis want to skulldrag the lathe out his shop and scrap it. Good thing he decided otherwise.

  6. "Now we're going to need a bigger boring bar!"
    🤔, How big is that going to be then? Fatter or longer or both?
    Stand-by for a new tool build in the very near future is my tip!

  9. При расточке цилиндра не показали стойку с индикатором. Есть ли отклонения или нет на таком длинном резце?

  10. Great Vids, love the addition of the outakes. Just a thought, you should probably just fab up a safe and use that as the swear jar 🙃
    I was wondering if you took in little jobs from the little people? 🙂 I have just given my John Deere ride-on's cutting deck a new lease on life getting rid of the rust, new paint job etc. I was putting the belt sheave back onto the Idler bracket with the ugga-dugga, and it was still set on full….OOOOPS. Snapped the threaded part clean. These are a funny looking shaft, seems to be press fitted into the bracket plate and too much to explain here. If you have ever fixed a JD cutting deck bracket thing, this was probably the same one. I have photos etc, if I can email them to you and you can advise sending it to you or just measuring up and then you just send it down – but better yet, if you have ever made one and still have the specs, easy.

    Basically, I'm in Tassie, but I don't know of any good engineers. Seen you work, impressed and would be happy to have you make me a part and record it, but if you know of anyone down here that could also mange, please let me know.
    thank you both.
