your effort into the camera angles is awesome, makes ya really feel as if your right on the subject and not some distant tripod view.. keep at it brother, love watching your content.. Much love from an American machinist.

Now that is the way you can bang out some threads! Always knew that something like that existed, but it’s the first time I’ve seen one in operation. Single pointing films great, but if you have to do five or fifteen of the same size and pitch…….😮. I’m guessing that retail is stiff for setting up initially, but what a tool! Thanks Max

Good job there Max. Love making kit for the shop, every time it Does come out is a smile.

> nice work there max; looks like a handy piece of kit those thread chasing sets. its been many years, the engineering dept i worked in - we got issued paper copies of the mcmaster carr catalogs (like 4"" thick). im sure most of it is online; always enjoyed the materials research, application and specification pages. ? do they have outlets in austrailia? my opinion reading book pages corresponding to whats being looked up in the pages might be a lot easier than how stuff gets cataloged online....maybe if requested they will send you the latest edition .

where did you buy the anchor lube from

I haven't seen any other videos that go into geometric dies with such detail. Very informative.

Very interesting, Max. You make cutting a precision taper look so easy.

Thank you Max!

Great video as usual. Great photography and commentary.

i detest those brazed pos things. every time i try to use one it goes right into the bin within minutes. I tossed a whole pile of new carbaloys because they would run a few inches and then spit chips. HSS or inserts.

👍👍😎👍👍 - crackin nice job - Cheers - Praying that some rain stops by your way.

Thanks for the show Max 🍻

To secure a contract from Coventry fasteners is a machinist dream job. Avoided nut & bolt section as apprentice & chose fitting. Did use a turret & robotic instincts can cause problems if finger are not careful. True thread eater all my experience was done at the Haros Boiler Company. They were a great start in a new state. Definate showing that a run of threaded parts is no problem for Max's shop.

Nice job on the adapter...a bit of relief from funky lever curve's, angles and internal slots 😁 Yeah no kidding those die heads are not cheap, had to pass on a couple..just too pricy

Ingenious device! Loved the tip about aligning the existing center hole.

Maybe it came from China “me sucky” love you long time

G'day Max, I see you parting "upside down" to how I do. Could you please talk about the why's and advantages or limitations. Thanks, Butch. ps, That stock is quality reusium grade 0.0 Also what make of file do you use? good ones seem hard to find these days. thanks

for the benefit of those that haven't or cannot visit Max's Machine Shop - the fast forward segments are actually His real speed ! 💥, Max only slows down while speaking and thinking

Mr Squiggle's, medium to Shithouse, Mild Steel bars coming to a town near you....🤣🤣

Like shifting in bed and kicking it out with sox on !! Great job young man

Very enjoyable, I always wondered how those were.

Thx for the vid.

Great video Max! I’ve wondered how they work and about the dies for ages. Spot on. Thanks 👍🇳🇱

Thanks Max, great learning session.

That thread cutting tool is really cool ! ! How nice is that it will disengage itself and not mess up the threads. . NICE !!!

Nice Job, one more step closer to HBM,

Love that die head. What a great tool.

Hey mate you are on par with Matty's Workshop for making me piss my pants with your one liners. Great aussie slang, love it . Cheers from Mt Hawthorn, Perth .

Thanks Max. Always re;event to the stuff I do, albeit on a smaller amateur scale. Great lessons every episode.

Hi Max, we are screaming out for the wet season to start here in Philippines, currently in drought conditions. The die head produces an excellent finish and cuts to an accurate length, easy as.

Thanks for showing that way of cutting threads….what is the spiral bond book on the table at start of video??

Hi Max, Nice video as always. I was trying to find a decent Capstan lathe in the UK just recently, with absolutely no luck, as soon as one comes up for sale its snapped up. Great machines for turning multiple parts especially where you have a long threaded section. CNC's are great but have their limitations. Best wishes, Mal. PS: hope you get some rain soon.

👍

Check the retaining plate, it looks loose.

MS=Mystery steel

How do you de-burr the inside of a round part like that ?

Hey MAX. I wanted to send you some of those spiral wound sanding rolls that I mentioned in your last video. I found them on McMaster-Carr, and I know that they do not service the Australian continent, so I figured I would send you some to try, but I am unaware of how to find your postal address. If you could let me know where to send them, I'll send them to you, a long with the small arbor shank required to use them. I feel quite sure you will love them. If you want me to email you I can do that, but I currently do not have your email address, but I think I've heard you say what it is before, not sure though. Let me know, and I'll be in touch, Eric Patterson from Phoenix, Arizona USA

This is one of the finest video's on tool making i've seen so far, exellent work Max, cheers mate have it good. Chris.

Thank you very much all you share.

Thanks again for a great video 😁😁😁😁😁

Thanks for sharing 👍

Well, over here some parts of the country are flooded. Talking about rain... And it looks like it's not the first time you make a tapered adaptor :)

Hey, I thought bananas were inches, not degrees. What gives? By the way, that arbor was way too easy.

Another fascinating video Max.👍👍👍 If you do ever have a DRO scale on your cross slide on the small lathe, and still wanted to use the Coventry style die head you could just drill and tap the side of the slide below the scale cover and screw a machined shoulder bolt stop in a fraction proud of the scale cover as your new stop - to protect the scale cover from potentially being crushed. Alternately you could fit the stop to the front of the base of the tailstock & position it so it hits the side of the cross slide below the scale height. Either / or should work. My AL 356V has it on the cross slide I recently noticed, so not my idea. I’m not that bright. 😜😂😂😉

You sure that's not Rustonium?

Max what’s going to stop the morse taper pulling out when the Coventry comes, to the stop?

💯✅

Micro 100 was founded and based in my hometown Meridian Idaho USA. It’s great that products from a small town being used on the other side of the world. My dad repaired the machine that soldered that carbide to that shank.

I suspect the clapper on a Bridgport type slotter is only going to work with very short tooling in the vertical orientation or tooling in the horizontal location in the tool block, the geometry isn't advantageous enough with long vertical tooling used to get into smaller diameter bores, the clapper pivot axis is too close to cut line of the tool so the tool pressure pushing the tool off is enough to overcome the cutting force trying to pull the tool in, the longer the tool the worse it gets. You can get the same issues on a horizontal shaper if you use a very long internal cutting tool mounted in place of the standard lantern tool holder, which is why the manual for such should state the distance between the tool and clapper box face, on my Elliott 18" it is 7" to the rear edge of the tool, but you do always have gravity on you side on a horizontal as well.

That is a great project and useful too. I know where a slotting head is, maybe I can get one.
