    well it's a lathe czcams.com/users/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.

    I'm sorry Ton', but the correct answer to "what's your favourite chuck" is always "Norris". Just in case.

    • @thomasdickson35
      @thomasdickson35 Před 5 lety +20

      You should definitely engage squints when dealing with any "Norris" style Chuck. Safety Third! I mean First.

      Fact: Chuck Norris doesn't need a laithe. Once the work is centered in Chucks hand, out of fear for it's own existence, it becomes whatever he wants it to be.

    I want to see the handpuppets !!!
    After I discovered that the runout on my 3-jaw was up to 6 thou, I started using my 4-jaw more and more. For the first few weeks it was really frustrating, but then I got a little system working and I found it to be almost relaxing. There is a sense of accomplishment of getting a part centered in the 4-jaw to better than a half a thou. I haven't seen my 3-jaw for a year or so.

    2. I was really diggin that interpretive dance number you and your cats did.
    3. There was wayy too much stuff you left out for me. Maybe your more experience viewers dont need all the hand holding but to me the information seemed a bit empy.

    Great content as always. Only one gaping hole in this storyline, Tony. Adjustable backplate chucks. They can make a three jaw run on center, but only because they are effectively a four jaw on one side with a three jaw on the other.
    I suppose Clickspring would include the cyanoacrylate chuck on the list. 😎

    I would stay away from ER for workholding in the lathe, it is relatively annoying because you cant hold very short parts without a filler-piece in the collet.
    You left the allimportant magnetic lathe chuck out :(

    • @ThisOldTony
      @ThisOldTony  Před 6 lety +22

      Yes you need a filler / plug. Especially in the Pratt flex collets.

    • @sblack48
      @sblack48 Před 6 lety +3

      I find it amazing that Stephane uses a 3jaw and simply loosens the backplate and centers the work with an indicator. I've never seen anyone do that, but he makes it work well. So that basically destroys Tony's position that the 3jaw can't do accurate work holding. I think they need to step outside and settle this like men, with chuck keys. Last man standing. They should probably settle the magnetic chuck question at the same time.

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but that was the most interesting boring discussion on chucks. I loved it! I MUST be a tool geek. Love your stuff. Looking forward to the next one.

    Always one step ahead that Tony is. Very good video Tony. Sock puppets make machinery seem less intimidating. You should have left them in, it's the method my wife used to teach me the basics. :-) Thanks for all the hard work Tony. Steve Summers
