Glad to see this one back at the top of the page, Rob! |

Rob, As per your usual standards, Another great project. :beer: I've got the Radford book so I pretty well know where this is going. Not to throw your thread off topic, But here's a question I've been meaning to ask. Your standard tool finish is far above anything I've been able to obtain consistently. So what's the secret? Coolant, Metal grade and type, Carbide selection when not using HSS, Voodoo, Praying to the machinist gods? A Myford is a good lathe, But there not close to the rigidity you would get from a larger heavy duty commercial type lathe. Yet it seems your normal finish is comparable to what those heavy duty lathes can produce. Pete |

Thanks Dave :beer: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, back still giving me gip ,,,,,,,,,,,,, could some one please take the doll of Mr JS :lol: :lol: Cheers Dean ,,,,,,,,, glad to see you look in :thumbup: Hi Pete ,,,,,,,,, can i say VOODOO :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ,,,,,,,,Coolant ,, yes i use coolant ,,, what ever kind i have just bummed ,, never bought any for years and years . Metal grade ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, mmmmmmmmmm well your guess is as good as mine :lol: :lol: just one of three draws of mystery bar ends (retirement stock) As to carbide tips ,,,,,, what ever are the cheapest ,,,,,,,,, i am not big on having loads of different grades of tips , no point when you have no idea what exactly your machining ,,,,,, threw out the FEEDS/SPEEDS chart for the same reason . As to the Myford its a surprisingly rigid machine . I get just as good a finish with the Lorch Which is a very light watch makers lathe . So i would say , a well set up machine , rigid work holding and very sharp tooling , adjust feeds and feeds for best results Probably not the most helpful answer :Doh: ,,,,,,,,,,,, should have stuck with voodoo :lol: :lol: Rob |
