omg how many lathes can one man use
Comment from : Satchel Sieniewicz

Another great video for all of us "vision impaired" machinists I really like what you've done here, and I definitely know a good idea when I steal it! I think I will go the route of the Hardinge - large white non reflective plastic gears with large black lettering Easier with a CNC 4th axis and CNC I think that there could be a market for making these - as it would benefit any manual machinist today

Mr Pete, excellent video, I just made 2" dials for my 9" Atlas and all the jugs you made also They work great
Comment from : Patrick Dennis

GENIUS! Husband says He loves the way you did the review on the first one (#176) Again, he says he's not a machinist but thoroughly enjoyed these videos and ALL of your videos Love your comments on the "Safety Nazis"!

Why so many lathes?
Comment from : GnosisMan50

I came across this video whilst searching for info regarding the compound on my Logan 1820; is there any tolerance for "end play" or "chucking" along the axis of the compound screw? As that first nut (against the dial) is tightened this play is reduced, eventually to the point that the dial is pushed too tight against its threaded partner It seems there is supposed to be a thrust bearing or washer between these two Any thoughts or insight?
Comment from : Alan Townsend

my method was to use a one inch travel dial indicator with a pancake magnet on the back and stick it to the cross-feed ways and read the travel directly off the compound and I might say more accurately than the graduations on the hand dialit worked in most casesbut not all

How did we build the first atomic weapons, be the first to officially break the sound barrier, and first and only to put a man on the moon, all without DROs I did some very accurate work in high school some 50 yrs ago with out a DRO I know they are maybe more accurate, and faster but I cannot justify the cost Get your cataracts fixed My mom said she didn't know how wrinkled her face was until she got hers fixed She was amazed at how much better her vision was after surgery Keep teaching my friend

Hi Pete I've just noticed my compound slide dial looks like it was press fitted over the actual handle I'm wondering if you have an email I can maybe send you a photo to see what you think If it's not to much trouble

Thanks Pete 👍👍👍👍
Comment from : Mark Grevatt

Really hope you can give me some positive answers As I don't want to give up on her I know she can look great again As I'm doing a full restoration every nut bolt etc but am getting a bit disheartened
Comment from : Mark Grevatt

As you know I'm just starting a complete restoration of a 1939 Colchester master 6 inch lathe brThe thing is after removing yrs and yrs or rust my compound slide dial is very pitted And just barely make out the witness mark and all the graduation lines on the dial But it is not great If I was to try and find a very good machinist do you think it would be possible for them to repair by removing all the pitting and restoring all the graduations and witness mark As you know these dials are hard to find these days and would really like to keep the originals brWould it be possible to save them Just asking as i value your opinion because of the fact you have many yrs of being a machinist brI'm pretty gutted as im finding things that is really starting to upset me I just can' not understand how previous owners don't take the time to look after these beautiful precision machines by just keeping them serviced, well oiled now and again So pitting doesn't occur
Comment from : Mark Grevatt

Hi Pete I'm honestly am enjoying your channel The way you explain things in a simplistic manner for us that are new to lathe machines Is honestly a great help Your an absolute gentleman to taking the time in this hectic life we lead To teach us things with regards to lathe and milling Just want to share my gratitude and a big thankyou for all the hours time & work uploading these videos I'm very grateful that I've found your channelbr As it's one of the best I have seen Thanks again Pete Now I do have a question if you don't mind me asking
Comment from : Mark Grevatt

It's no wonder that I can't find a good lathe Mr Pete is hoarding all of them ;)

How easy is it to replace the back gear on a logan 820? Does any one make a gear for that? Mine has a few teeth missing

That blasted cricket
Comment from : Ronald Youvan

Comment from : AVSEU 1 headquarters

Really usefull! thanks a lot!
Comment from : Pelle B

Thank you sir, I just finished making new dials for my 12" Craftsman Lathe - I used the 100 tooth saw blade idea Your videos, and all your hard work, are a god send Thank you sir
Comment from : Liberty Cave WS7PB

Hello, I have an old 12 inch Craftsman Atlas Lathe I Bought dials from Tall Grass Tools for it they come in 100 per rev or 200 and are larger in Diameter he also sells the backing plate for them they come ready to bolt on or machine kit form and available for the compound I have used in the past a small fishing lead split shot in the screw hole instead of brass works good I also am a Machinist by trade and an old tool and machine junkie I have the lathe I spoke of and a burke millrite milling machine and two Atlas milling machines both 12 speeds one with a Rusnok milling head a Southbend shaper Jet drill press (Chinese works ok but not like old American iron) and a small Taig lathe love to tinker and restore to operating condition but most of all use them not building some Mantle piece like some of the guys on Youtube when the only Chip their fully Restored and Painted Machine will see is the Potato Chip falling out of their mouth when showing it to Friends Keep up the good work Love your Videos you remind me of my shop Instructor I had in the mid 1970s showing my age

Hello Found this From the Historic naval ships AcsocIs loaded with documents for people interested in tools, shop, etc wwwhnsaorg/resources/manuals-documents/
Comment from : C O

A friend of mine years ago put cheap magnifying glasses above the dialsbrworked very well for him
Comment from : ftrikerfox

Your timing is uncanny, professor It wasn't more than a week ago that I decided my crossfeed dial on my Logan lathe was almost too small to read even without cataracts My compliments on your ingenuity in using the saw blade as a dividing circle IMTS was interesting especially the 3-D additive printing technology

Enjoying the Crickets ;)
Comment from : JC Knives

Thanks, this is the exact project I need to complete as I have just finished restoring my Logan 825!
Comment from : B DAY

Hello PetebrI am really enjoying your videos on dial replacement I have a 9" south bend (war baby) and it too had small dials I did a conversion to larger dials on that lathe and ran into the same problem of the cross slide hitting the dials I used the Steve Wells method and increased the length of the cross feed screwnot really the threaded portion but rather the length that the dial and handle fit onto it meant making new longer bushings, but now my cross slide has a full length of travel Is that possible for the logan lathes?brbrWayne
Comment from : angryyank68

That's nice Now I want to make larger dials for my Logan I wanted to do it anyways for the purpose of graduating it for dia reduction
Comment from : Chip Wright

I think this is great, another brilliant video
Comment from : Mark Bartlett

I quite like that improvised pin spanner you used to remove that bushing
Comment from : ElectricGears

7:45 - Loved the crickets I felt like I was standing in the garage with you Great videos Thanks for your efforts
Comment from : Camping and Cam

Thanks for the videos, this is the exact same lathe I have and this will a very handy reference
Comment from : rchopp

Excellent video Will use this series to make new dials for my old Zytac lathe and probably my Boxford (South Bend licenced copy) as well Thx again

This micrometer would be easier to read:br wwwleevalleycom/en/newsletters/Woodworking/2/3/collection-4jpgbrTom - Vista, CA - :>))
Comment from : tom7601

Very nice new dialshow much good did the extra travel do if the cross-slide covered the old dial anyway?
Comment from : Zastrow Engineering

thanks for sharing mr pete
Comment from : andy mandy and sheba

Tubalcain, my grandfather was a machinist and metal fabricator, making large industrial machines that formed sheet metal But he never offered to teach my sister and I; watching you is like being in the shop with himbrThank you
Comment from : Mike Oliver

Thank you for the nice video series! And it is nice of you to upload them all at once so we don't have to wait :)brbrBy the way, are you filming in 720i ? Because, at least for me, the videos have much 'line blur' when something is moving in the picture Could it be possible to film in 720p, that is, without interlacing instead? Or maybe the problem is in my end or I misunderstand somethingbrbrAny way, thanks for tour videos, you are one of my favorite YouTubers! To see a new engaging, educational video in my subscriptions feed is so much better that watching TV after work
