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

K&T Universal Milling Head – Part 3 – Machining a 6 spline shaft in 1045 steel (another test piece)

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.

Trying Out a Pair of MIG Welders from PrimeWeld and ArcCaptain & Building a Shelf for Lathe Tools

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.

Machine Scraping with Ron Grundy – FULL LENGTH EDITION

FULL LENGTH VERSION

This video was made available to Patrons 3 months ago. Join my Patreon page for early access and ad-free video releases.

Become a Patreon supporter: https://www.patreon.com/mylilmule

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.

Wiring a Breaker, Contactor, Phase Monitor and Overload Relay to My Vintage 1960 South Bend Lathe

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.

Machining a Cast Iron Straight Edge – FULL LENGTH

FULL LENGTH VERSION

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.

Making Table Index Keys for the Dividing Head and Foot Stock

The indexing keys in my dividing head and foot stock work perfectly on the Bridgeport mill, but are too narrow for the Kearney & Trecker horizontal mill. I wanted to make a set the was a very snug fit to help ensure I have proper alignment between the two pieces.
