I enjoy your videos you explain everything very well
Comment from : William Vaughn

Hi Quinn, I am relatively new to your channel, slowly working through the 4 plus years of tutorials I am amazed at how informative they are and how you can explain the most basic procedures without being condescending I am learning alot, thank you One question I have is you mentioned the smaller lathes not being accurate when turning steel I have a grizzly 7x12, I bought it to make parts for antique clocks The first choice was an old jewelers lathe, but that seemed to small and the sherline type seemed to small so I have the grizzly With care,careful set up and steady rests ect, will I be able to make some parts with accuracy?

Thanks for choosing Grizzly for your tool bits! Great company with excellent service!
Comment from : Jared White

Great video!
Comment from : GD3Media

Quinn: could you please give some information about the holding of tool holder onto the tool post; there are several types besides dovetail which you showed and exhibited Thanks
Comment from : Ramesh Chohan

I am impressed, this is a great tutorial Thank you!
Comment from : Adem Kollari

Quick question about the tool height The cutting surface of the tool (the top point that touches the work piece and does the cutting) should be directly in the center of the work piece (height-wise) when "turning"?
Comment from : YT-User

You have a real talent for explaining things and making them easy to understand, clear, direct terminology without having to listen to a lot of useless jabber, really like your videos! Thanks
Comment from : Martin Captain

Hi I'm starting off with machining The reason I need a lathe is to machine bearing seats for folding knives The steel will be hardened before hand Would that mean that I am limited to Carbide tool bits only? The steel will be hardened to 62HRC roughly
Comment from : Neil Van Der Linden

Do you have another video that identifies what each shape of the bits is used for? I just starting and I don't know which bits to use for what operation? I purchase all the types of bits you identified in this video but don't know if I am using them right Thanks
Comment from : Jimmy Mullins

Thanks alot of all the tutorials for the Metal Lathe!
Comment from : TheAmethyz

One thing that puzzles me is why is the top slide almost always angled if you are trying to true or square a piece up?
Comment from : Senior Electrician

Thank you very much, so well explained I needed to watch it Bless you
Comment from : Because I trust you

I was wondering how the height was set until you pointed it out I was not sure how it functioned I haven't seen a tool holder IRL
Comment from : Gerard Bendotti

Great video and well explained, thank you
Comment from : Pat Mac

Love the pink toolbox
Comment from : Richard Provost

I really appreciate how articulate you are without boring me to death with a 30 minute video Very informative 👏
Comment from : Anthony Pitt

You present nice videos but I wish you went into a little bit more depth about what each tool cutter does and how to set it up in the lathe I don’t know do I use the same tool cutter for facing that I can for turning etc , since the tools are rarely labeled from what I can see How does a novice learn what tools to use for what I’ve been practicing for a while trying to dial my lathe in
Comment from : The Lone Viking

I don't have a lathe because I haven't bought a house, and so I don't have a space to put the lathe brbrAnywaybrbrBetween Quinn, This Old Tony, and a few other metalworkers to be found on YouTube, I now find myself trolling Craigslist for metal lathes during odd moments during my day brbrI suppose I can justify buying a Monarch with a 24" swing Can't I?
Comment from : The Project Project

will done missy?i have not seen a bad show from you yet?? keep on keeping on thanks

Really weld done videos, I'm certainly going to watch the whole series And I love the pink tool chest ! 🙂
Comment from : lanhet

This video was a huge help I wish I'd started with HSS bits instead of chewing up a bunch of carbide bits on a small Atlas lathe
Comment from : Xander Opal

Does anyone know if you can get a replacement clamp screw for the parting tool holder at 3:46 ? It has rh and lh threads The slot for the allen wrench is stripped out on mine , was like that when I got it/when I bought the lathe brThanks
Comment from : drthik1

Very helpful, knowledgeable video Quinn, thank you!brI like your setup Mind if I ask you what brand/model of carriage/tablebrthat your cutter is on? I'm having a heck of a time finding the correct setup Ibrbelieve I have the same post and cutters that you dobrThanks - Bill
Comment from : Bill Greco

Your lathe series is excellent Regarding that Grizzly HSS set, is that right hand tool for steel? It almost looks knife-like rather than the traditional shape like in your grinding video
Comment from : Adam Debicki

Can you do another video showing how each type of cutting tool is used? hogging off material, facing tools, angles etc Just as a bit more in depth than a pic you can find on google
Comment from : ShortBus Life

I want highly praise you for the body of work that you have assembled here on YouTube! Your passion is very evident on your videos You have a great talent for leaving no stone unturned (terrible pun!) in answering every question that the novice machinist may have Know that yours is the gold standard in this world! Continued success, and a hearty thank you!
Comment from : Salvatore Rossignolo

Great presentation and explanation thank you
Comment from : Johannes C

Quinn Is the high speed steel you use for tool bits the same as Cobalt high speed steel drill bits?
Comment from : Johannes C

Hola Quinn eres genial estóy viendo todos tus videos me encanta la forma de enseñar que tienes se entiende perfectamente Saludos desde Chile
Comment from : RTA Chile

I would like to see an explanation of the different weird shapes on some of the Harbor Freight brazed tool bits Some of the boxes have some strange shaped ones in them and there is noting on the box indicating what operation this or that shape is best suited for
Comment from : Ken ibn Anak

Love the pink tool chest!
Comment from : Bexington

these are super useful, right now i'm trying to learn all this on a massive piece of 1970's polish cast iron Tarnow tuj50 lathe thanks for the in depth explanations
Comment from : Dawson Anger

What kind of metal lathe do recommend for a beginner on a budget
Comment from : Lewis Ritchie

Hi did you ever make a video on how to sharpen a drill (Note I didn't say bit lol) I looked and can't find it and I looked at other vid's but I'm still having trouble getting it Thank you
Comment from : James Doyle

hi, can you do a video on how to set tool height ? brbri have one of those 4 way tool posts that come standard with machines But the tool is too low and i don't see a way to raise it up after i tighten down the 3 bolts holding it in place ?
Comment from : qwertyui90qwertyui90

Very good stuff Kinda stuff that my grandpa would teach If u listen and pay attention, it won't take u years to figure it out lol Thanks

Great video series! Newbie here learning tons!
Comment from : Aaron Salvesen

Awesome vid Basics covered nicely for someone like me, who knows nothing! Thanks for taking the time to make this :)
Comment from : Chris Williams

Would you be able to compose, or do you have a video on must have tools when getting started I know that’s vague and the rules of thumb for the cost of tools but maybe typical items you would want/need in the first six months when getting into the hobby or something along those lines brbrCongrats on the channels success and keep inspiring!!
Comment from : Underground Upholstery

Hi, I have just bought my metal lathe Im learning through your chanel Thanks for the free lessons!! My lathe, Its similar to your lathe Mine is Sumore Sp2124i Im interested to buy the quick change tool can you suggest any thanks in advance!!!???
Comment from : marios85cy

Thank you for this video
Comment from : Omar Yassin

You're so awesome!! I'm a female who wants to learn to be an actual machinist These videos have helped me get a knack of what to expect!
Comment from : Heather Tepley

Hello blonde,brI'm a newbiebrI've just got a 8x16" WBL-210V which is a bit smaller than your PM 1202 I'd like to buy a wedge qctp and I've sawn two types The BXA or the AXA Which one do you recomand ? Thanks in advance
Comment from : Levisgil47

Could I ask you what the power rating of your lathe is dear Quinn? I want to buy a lathe with 1HP I ask because the changeable type carbide bits are more comfortable than hss and you said it´s only for bigger lathe machines I just want to know If 1HP is enough or not ? The machine is 8x16 inches as the chinese say 70kg
Comment from : Telectronics

Gwen, baie dankie Puik werk!brGroete Christo
Comment from : Christo Botha

Awesome
Comment from : Julian HG

Blondihacks is my "goto" for instruction and reminder of how to do it, saved a bunch of time on ruined stock and damage I would suggest a bit more instruction on Quick change tool posts; adjustment is not straightforward: stud with hex-key top, nut, washer and knurled adjuster!
Comment from : Jack Peterman

So much to learn from this channel Thanks for the great contentbrI also heard about Diamond tools do they require a more powerful lathe as well?
Comment from : Arijit Dutta

Thank you very much!
Comment from : Tino

Thank you, very useful
Comment from : TITO Josseph bross

Quinn, you mention carbide needing speed and power to work correctly and that hobby lathes are not good candidates Can you clarify where that line is? Where does the machine used in the video fall into this equation Thanks!
Comment from : ropedrag

Really good stuff! bCongrats!!/b -- If I may suggest, add "how to" and "tutorial" (ie how to metal lathe / machining tutorial, etc) to your Video Tags It'll improve your recommendation algorithm Cheers!
Comment from : Fidel Castellanos

I love your insistence on safety All tonoftem home hobbyists of different types and up hurting themselves or getting killed
Comment from : Chris sargent

Greetings from turkey I like to watch your machinery videos I have already start to lathe machinery but my skill is very low as you know Hss lathe cutting tools are cheaper than others and as i see, your lathe setup has them but need to make shape them by purpose I hope you record a video about to forming a hss tool

Comment from : Cannon Roberts

As a hobbyist, this is the best tutorial channel yet Over the years I've watched and left some machinist tutorial channels with more questions than answers However, you are most concise and thorough No trouble understanding your explanations Keep them coming, please A tutorial on grinding HSS lathe cutters would be much appreciated in the future Cheers!
Comment from : S Ff

Another attachment I have to get ! Thanks 😂
Comment from : Wayland Forge

What do you mean by interrupted cuts? Sorry if it’s a silly question but I am just starting to learn about machining
Comment from : AKeryluk

Hi Quinn Really enjoying your videos One quick question thoughI notice you have your compound at 45 degrees As a beginner, I wonder why that is? Many thanks
Comment from : Ian Lainchbury

At the age of 73 I never thought a lady (A very knowledgeable lady) would teach me the nitty gritty basics of using a lathe but she has Well done, I like your style and not afraid to admit when things don't go quite the way she wanted I look forward to learning more from your other videos

Comment from : Grotton Is Red

Clear and concise explanation as ever Thank you, and keep them coming!
Comment from : Anthony Thomas

@Blondihacks - Thank you for the basics series! :o) Blessings friend
Comment from : John Bonner

I have a similar PM lathe, the PM1127 There's a little springy doohickey that sticks up from the compound underneath the toolpost and will sorta index the toolpost to a certain position Is there something magical about that position? It's pretty sloppy, so I don't think it's too useful for anything precisionbrbrWatching this series keenly It's great to see basics done on a lathe so similar to mine Thanks for making these videos!
