CNC LATHE?! - Router Add-On!

This video is a spindle build -- a spindle used as both a CNC lathe and 4th axis / indexer for the router.

Working better than I thought, but I've still got a long way to go.

Music:
Tag You're It - The Whole Other
Hermanos Ranchero - Biz Baz Studio

This is the only channel that can get me to sit down and watch a 30 minute video and still be upset when it ends

Super video. My daughter is home and listening over my shoulder. She teaches "G" code in high school shop. I told her that I am too old to learn because I am 73. After a good beating from her, I have changed my mind about a few things. 1, she is stronger than I. 2, I can do this., 3, the bruises will heal soon enough.

Somehow you've managed to keep your viewers entertained while teaching difficult subject matter. I think you have the right mix of humor and technical information with exceptional video editing. I bet at least 80% of the viewer/subs don't own or plan to own any machinist tools, but you make the information quite interesting and fun to watch. Who wants to watch 20 minutes on thread pitch analysis and sine bar fundamentals?...apparently over a million! Well done Tony and thank you for putting so much thought and time into making these videos. They are well received. *tips hat*

Don't lie to us TOT... You didn't build this... You just left your mill and lathe alone in the garage too long and came to to find their offspring....

So, I'm sitting in my semi at a rest area. I'm fully expecting the cutting tool to crash into the work piece in the intro. Right as the cutter touches the work piece, the air brake pressure relief valve opens in the truck next to me. 😳 Yes, I jumped! 🤣

Your video production and editing work is getting very outstanding TOT. It really makes watching a half hour video very pleasant indeed.

I'm trying to get some of my own work done over here! Now I have to put everything down and go over to the couch and make myself comfortable and watch this!

TOT. What can I say? That was just Amazing. The Combination of the Machinist, Welding, Tooling. Metallurgy and CNC Knowledge can only be Compared to your Video Production and Brilliant Narration Skills.. YouTube is a World Stage and You’re a National Treasure..

on the bird nests
just work with stainless steal and sell those as pot scrubbers

Wow that transition from twist bit to reamer!!! I swear I was watching Spielberg's work! TOT=FTW

I remember from my machine design class that having set screws 180 deg apart is actually weaker and more prone to loosening than having them 120 or even 60 degrees apart. I think this was in Shigley's iirc. May not apply since you're grabbing a flat, but still a random fact of the day!

[FaithPvP]

As someone who only owns the basics (hammer, pliers, few screwdrivers), I can't stop watching these vids, and the humour is fantastic!

[Zscheigwai]

That's so sweet, I've been a machinist for almost 2 years now, and watching your videos really motivates and inspires me to take on projects of my own!

"Between a battleship grey and a British suntan" lol. I resemble that remark!

[boulderco]

I'm still scratching my head as to why people would thumbs down these videos. Seriously... Why? Explain yourself. He doesn't click bait, has no commercials, is quite quick with his work, and adds some humor. Are you looking for music?! Broken fingers? Blood? Seriously...stop thumbing down stuff you probably don't understand anyway. Ok... I'm done... Whew.

Love the Spinal Tap reference at 00:44
This one go to 11!

Great video Tony. Something I noticed, just in case it helps (and in case you're still using this) is that the motor mounting flange is not square to the axis of the "shell" which holds your bearings. You can see the runout at 10:26 if you look closely. Anyway, thanks for all the great content - always a laugh and always a good lesson too.

You are hilarious. Love your videos. Keep up the awesome work.
