    YOUR POST…

    my 36″ bullard will take 3/4″ per-side at .028″ per rev. no big deal. step it up a notch boys and girls

    What EXACTLY was your point, Zippy? And what does it have to do with the work being performed in the video?

    Like I said, when a customer brings you a job that needs .005″ taken off, you go ahead and impress him by taking a 3/4″ cut. That will really help bring business into your shop.

    @jmar1371 first off i never said anything about a hardened steel cut and second, like i said grow up

  7. jmar1371 says:

    What’s the matter? Don’t like it when people call you on your bullshit?

    Well, I’m calling your bullshit. Show me your 36″ Bullard taking a 3/4″ cut off of a hardened steel shaft at .028″ per.

    Or STFU.

    @Zeslayer205 we have micrometers at my shop that you literally need to hang from a crane, no word of a lie. they get BIG nowadays

  9. dauphinaisjay says:

    @jmar1371 did you even read the rest of these postes before comment ing on what i said? are you just mad cuz you can’t hit a .005″ size so your taking cheap shots. people on you tube need to stop taking shots and realize that 95% of the people on here are just joking around sharing info and not trying to be a dick. i’m only 24 years old and i’m telling you to GROW UP

  10. jmar1371 says:

    Next time someone brings you a job that needs .005 taken off of it, go ahead and make your 3/4″ cut. I’m sure the customer will be impressed.

    Toy Town lathe and machining. I used to do .375″ per side at .032″ feed with a 15 degree approach tool on 3 ton shafts.

    @arvadawelder looks like carbide

  18. arvadawelder says:

    did you use carbide or hss

  19. caliusoptimus says:

    .1″ deep? you can do better than that….make that insert squeal like a wounded animal lmao

  20. muckypup7 says:

    Imagine getting to the final cut and fxxkin it up Doh

  21. Hammer07Sickle says:

    Damn, I wouldn’t even think to try 0.250 passes on the manual Graziano lathe I work on. So far the safest depth I’ve been able to do for roughing is only 0.050

  22. SteffanLlwyd says:

    Thanks. It’s not a nice smell huh? Not like cutting oil which smells great!

    the “smell” of hp steam is likely to be phosphates and amines used to dose boiler feed water to control bfw ph and amaine to protect condensate systems……..if my memory serves me well ..

    How do you quote for a job like this dude,Ive always struggled quoting for big lathe work ?

    Hey come one guy, we were all that shop sweepers at once. If you know what your doing then calipers can be very accurate. BUT experience comes into play with how to hold them correctly.
