For tool height use a running centre in the tailstock, take a facing cut and look to see if you are above or below the module left, measure from the lathe bed note it down or use your six inch scale pressed against the workpiece with the tool and note if the scale tilts over the top of tilts underbrIt should be perpendicular when the tool is on the centre line

Comment from : springer5

I am a welder in a small shop Sometimes we use a lathe for simple projects and I’m usually the guy to do it This is a perfect video for someone like me, who uses a lathe but not that often It helps me knock the rust off of my basic knowledge

Comment from : Joe Kylen

Werent you on some scrap metal art competition show that played on Netflix?
Comment from : Hello

love the vid, but for all beginners, please keep your fingers back while the lathe is running, sometimes thosae chips and strands are razor sharp, ive hada few close calls pullingthem off when the machine wasnt even running, pull off a strand, and it was caught, it will sing right into your skin always be careful, we use pliers, or gloves to pull chips away, but dont use gloves while lathe is running, if it grabs it your hand may be gone, it may even pull you into the machine

Comment from : u05330

Best vedio I've seen, just got a 12 x 36 atlas,, really good condition has quick change gear box,, all teeth look great on side and in box,, l noticed you don't use much oil,, mine was soaked in it and still rattled in gear,,,l sprayed it anyway with lucas red n tacky and quieted it down a lot,, l know could attract chips but it's under cover,, and so many say too set tool table on 29 degrees all the time as well as treading,,,what's your thoughts? You impressed me
Comment from : George Spangler

Good info as I'm learning this for an addition to my home shop Thank you! Curiouswhat size is this lathe?
Comment from : ActinOut

Very good video interesting i should have taken an interest years ago
Comment from : Ron Cooke

55 years ago, I was learning to latheI don’t remember much of it, but the big deal was in the angle of the bit touching the piece You adjusted the bit angle from facing to make your centering dimple Is there some magic in the details that I have forgotten? Our bit holders had the half moons like yours

Comment from : Michael Berna

You have a broken change gear drive on your head spindle the way it looks/sounds/ on the video
Comment from : ss boot

When you made the depression for the live center, did you just eyeball the center of your piece? How important is it that, that pocket be perfectly centered?
Comment from : Niluac

Perfect video well made, and no bull, I have just bbought a small Naerok lathe and need tuition, this vid is just waht I needed Thanks
Comment from : Bill Lupton

A very nice basic operation video Sold my lathe some years back but now trying to locate one again So that lathe has no way to release belt tension and you just have to walk the belt off and on?
