My Lil' Mule

I’m going to finish this test piece as if it was the longer actual part, just to be sure I have a little bit of practice before committing to the real thing.

The 4-Jaw chuck I have for the 1960 South Bend lathe does not have a proper back plate. Time to make one!

The second step I am taking to machine the new drive shaft. I have already made a test piece in delrin. This was to validate my calculation and drawings. Now I want to make another test piece, this time from the actual material I will be using. I want to experiment with speeds and feeds to see what I am able to get away with.

I needed to replace the shelf I have for my lathe’s quick change tool holders. Coincidentally, ArcCaptain reached out to me and asked me to review their MIG 200 welding machine. I decided to compare it to the PrimeWeld MIG 180. I share what I saw and got a nice new lathe shelf in the process.

NOTE: This video is not intended to teach the viewer how to machine scrape.

Ron Grundy, who worked for Kearney & Trecker for 30 years as a machine scraper and rebuilder, invited myself, Kevin and Kyle to his home shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to get a crash course on machine scraping. Now that I have my straight edge machined, it’s time to learn and to start to scrape it flat. Ron covered a lot of information in two days, and told a lot of great stories.

WARNING: For entertainment purposes only. This is NOT a how-to or instructional video. I am not an electrician.

I wanted to add some additional protection to the wiring for my 1960 South Bend lathe, but using more modern components. In this video, I show how I wired a breaker, a contactor, a phase monitor relay and a thermal overload relay to the lathe.

If you want to do your own research on this method, here are links to the parts I used.

Phase monitor: https://amzn.to/3FBqSAR
Overload relay: https://ebay.us/Q0clXa

I try to be constantly working on learning new skills, and one that I have been wanting to learn is machine way scraping, a skill I plan to use when I rebuild my 1960 13″ South Bend Lathe. There are a bunch of new tools I will need to accomplish this, and a straight edge is one of them. I picked up this 18″ prism straight edge as a raw casting from Denis Foster. The first step in preparing this raw casting to become a useful tool is to machine all of the necessary surfaces.
