The very first time I ever touched a chiseled to wood the chisel tried to embed it,s self in my face,only the face shield deflected itthankyou Jesus
Comment from : David Smith

Love all your videos Everything is calmly and simply explained I used to work in a machine shop and many a chuck key has flown throw the air BUT I found a solution, I jammed a spring on my chuck key It compresses to allow you to use it but it but if you let the key go it springs out of the chuck It can never be left in

What is the size of your lathe?
Comment from : Dr Paul Alpha Grant

I’ve just bought a small metal lathe I’m up to 1:20 of this video and I’m considering selling up 😂
Comment from : workshybum

Dear Quinn, without exaggeration I can say: You changed my life (a bit) Thank you for your excellent teaching, you are are a great talent And I like your humor too! The only thing I’m afraid of: If I do subscribe and pay you money (and many more people do) you will stop making these fantastic videos and sit on the beach with a drink in your hand… I will do it anyways Just don’t blame me for that nasty sunburn

Comment from : woody cone

Your videos are clear and to the point Thank you
Comment from : Alberto Pestana

where and how did you learn so much?
Comment from : Phil Hunt

Beginner question: is there a reason why the whole chuck is always exposed? In other power tools rotating parts have some kind of shield Feel like once everything is setup, just the controls need to be exposed while the lathe is in operation?
Comment from : Ajax Muchacha

My junior high school wood shop teacher, Mr Weinbergbrhad a plate fastened over the On-Off switch that had a hole drilled in itbrbrYou had to put the handle of the chuck key through that hole to press the On buttonbrIt worked perfectly, 'every time

Thanks!
Comment from : David Nelson

All of your tutorials are done with a high quality of excellence Without realizing it you always answer a question that most instructors neglect The question is, 'Why do we do this>' When I attended tech in another field, I had worked in the field and knew the questions and answers that students needed to know It put the instructor on track to provide ALL of the information students needed Quinn, as I've said already, YOU provide a great presentation to enable us to learn from you You are a great intructor(I think I'm in love LOL) I've subscribed to ALL of your videos I can see there is so much to learn and at 67 I still enjoy learning

Hi, thanks a lot for your series, it's great getting startedbrI believe I have almost exactly the same lathe as you and also ordered the same/similar quick tool post However, it does not directly fit On my carriage there is a larger diamater piece of metal which helt the original tool post Did you have to modify your carriage or do I need to order an alternative quick tool post?
Comment from : MarethyuPrefect

Excellent video! I am looking to get a lathe for tool pieces /jigs or engine parts I am looking at a harbor freight lathe, Is the better lathes close to the same price point? What is your pick for a lathe?
Comment from : Senior Electrician

Perfect video, I’ve recently bought my first lathe without any prior knowledge or experience Easy to follow Thx!
Comment from : Upsidedown

Hi I just started watching your videos They are very nice and helpful Thanks and congratulations The cat is very nice I have one as well 😊
Comment from : Constantinos Thrasyvoulou

"It will embed it in the wall by passing through your face" I love it!
Comment from : Jim K Konopka

I have a Harbor Freight 9 x 19 lathe (same as a Grizzly G4000) This has a feed lever that moves the carriage and a half nut lever for threading Try as I might, I cannot get my marginal male brain around the difference HELP!!! Thanks

I love your videos I'm an old white guy, anti-misogynist, anti-racist Musician and amateur lathe operator for 30 yrs Still have A LOT to learn Thanks for helping me get better on the lathe My motto - If it ain't broke, keep fixing it til it is broke

I need to taper some 1 1/4'' diameter, 14'' long solid-aluminum dowels frombr1 1/4 on one end to 1'' at the other They all need to finish off the samebrCan this be done with a lathe other than CNC, is there some kind of angledbrtrack attachment that can be attached to a Lathe to accomplish this task?brThanks
Comment from : Bikers On Call

These Tutorials Are Wonderful Thank you for selflessly taking the time to make them You may have saved someone from hurting themselves I know I've learn some things I didn't know even in the first tutorial Again, Thank you!!!!!

You are a VERY good communicator Simple, straight forward explanation of what everything is and why Thank you so, so much
Comment from : Meh

Seeing a lathe work is just kinda mesmerizing, but I'm sad I'll never be able to use one D:
Comment from : Gundam Pharmacist

I am a carpenter I like the machine tools trying to murder you Just like the dangers on construction sites trying to murder you A good saying for all people using tools and machinery I am going to watch all your tutorials on the machine shop, super thanks
Comment from : Johannes C

I'm a blacksmith who's been interested in machining for quite some time I've bought my first lathe (Trupro 12x37") and this series has been super helpful I'm very excited to start making my first chips I've just finished the model steam engine series and I think a steam engine's my first big project Thanks for all the videos, Quinn! you may soon have another patron supporter
Comment from : Henry Dando

As a feller who has lots of welding/fabrication experience, my buddies are often praising my skills I like to hit YT and watch some machining videos, it’s oh so humbling! The more I watch videos on the topic, the more I realize I don’t even know what I don’t know about machining I have turned more brake rotors and drums than I can count, so I have a small understanding of lathe basics Thanks for putting together these very informative video series’, looking forward to binge-watching I’m here to start at the beginning! 👍
Comment from : Carport Shenanigans

I've seen milling attachment on the rotating bit, not sure it's a good or bad thing, so they millon the lathe Is this good or bad?brIs there an attachment that must be used if you want to use it as a mill?
Comment from : Dissonantia Cognitiva

Omfg yesss a good looking person to look at while I learn Lol
Comment from : WhyWouldYou CareAboutMyName

Awesome videos! I just found your channel and will be showing your videos to my beginning metalworking students these I subbed to your great channel Thanks for the videos
Comment from : Mr Kongable

I just started my machining class last week, a life-long goal of mine! God bless you and these videos!!!
Comment from : Joe

The chuck key discipline reminds me of tightening discipline in general If you leave and come back to your work in the middle of tightening it you will forget to tighten it Once you go to tighten something you have to finish tightening
Comment from : Mawo

Chuck key will fly through the shop and embed itself in the wall Cool! wait, she said while passing through your faceNot cool! Got it!
Comment from : Rick Jorgenson

Quinn are you happy with the PM-1022 lathe after using it for a while? Any other machine you would consider? Thanks!
Comment from : Don Swords

Great explanation of lathe basics
Comment from : T B

I already lost my chuck key 😒
Comment from : Google Evil

Hey! I'm from Brazil and I'm in need of help I have a lathe just like yours, I would like to know the sternum and the amount of teeth of the gears on the gearbox (the ones you change) Please, if you can help, I appreciate it!
Comment from : Oficina Do Biel

Beautifully explained we have an old battered Axminster where I work and I'm trying to fix it up and learn how to use it I instantly made a mistake, I was wearing overalls with long sleeves and gloves (welding habbit) I will make sure I don't do that again Thank you
Comment from : Bexington

Random idea for the Chuck key discipline part: have it on a wrist loop as soon as it leaves its "home"
Comment from : H K

0:56 "Chuck Key Discipline" Where did you get that key with the spring-loaded collar? I have a cheap Busy Bee lathe-mill combo and at that price point, you get nothing special I wish I had a Schaublin lathe or at least an EMCO I guess I can make that mod on my key I think I remember my key flying out a long time ago Now you know why we use checklists in aviation
Comment from : A C E

Hey @Blondihacks! I'm looking to purchase a PM lathe and was wondering, now that you've gone through all the kinks, if you would recommend this same model or a different one, and which options would you recommend along with it? Thank you so much!!!

Comment from : Jeroen Jager

I recently bought a nearly 100 year old south bend lathe and have absolutely zero experience with machining This series is exactly what I've been searching for the past few weeks to help get me started Thank you!
Comment from : nohopeforthekids

What's the model of the lathe that you use in your videos?

Comment from : Adam Girth

Hi Quinn I've been wtaching your tutorial on machining with growing enthousiasm !! Never found any beter explanation on the internet ! Thx for your amazing videos ! Finally some video's without all those fancy and expensive words other "pro's" like to use !! But I have a (maybe stupid) question I at the point of buying a lathe but I'm wondering : is it possible (and a good idea) tu use a metal lathe to machine wood ?? Or better to buy one for metal and one for wood? I don't have that much room in my shed, so it would help a lot if I could use 1 for both metal and wood For the wood I would be using wood chisels ofcourse Thx for your answer !
Comment from : Bart Segers

Great stuff thanks Quinn
Comment from : Mikey

Those switch labels are simple and effective Also good for a smile Love your work
Comment from : Ausblack

This is a great series, thank you so much! Question to you veterans out there and pardon my ignorance: above the lead screw there seems to be ridges running most of the length underneath the rail Looks like sawblade teeth What is that for?
Comment from : Anthony Ortiz

"Will embed in your shops far wall after passing through your face" very effective description!
Comment from : sean roland

A dumb question can a metal turning lathe be used for woodworking? I know it will do the job but will there be negative effects to the machine? I mean wood is softer but usually there is moisture in it and it produces diffrent chips that may be hard to remove? Anything not so obvious saying "DONT DO THAT"?
Comment from : Ev0ltion

I am thinking of purchasing a Warco WM50V which I think is very similar to your Precession Matthews Are you happy with it?

Comment from : Barry Hamm

I'm just getting ready to get my first mini metal lathe and your instruction and explanation is excellent I'll be watching all of these Thank you!
Comment from : kraigseder

I just had a crazy idea What if lathes has a Chuck key holder that had a switch of some kind in it that wouldn’t allow the lathe to come on if the key wasn’t in it? I thank that’s a really good idea
Comment from : Barry Fields

Recently purchased a lathe, and never used one previously , 2 minutes into watching your video I knew this would be my new home for learning , Thanks
Comment from : The King Maker

When I did my pre-apprenticeship (like pre trade college) there were many holes in the roof of the machine shop from flying chuck keys Luckily no one died Too many stoned teenage boys
Comment from : DB1K Tool

Just got my first lathe (It’s not arrived yet) Time to learn how to use it Going through these one by one Thanks
