Thank you Kermit 🐸
Comment from : Daniel

well it's a lathe wwwyoutubecom/post/UgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play
Comment from : Яна Кудрявцева

The cross feed slide is not the apron, Mr The apron is always in front of your best buddy when you are machining 😊
Comment from : Daniel Zuñiga Gutierrez

This is all I ever wanted to know in one video overview lol
Comment from : Michael Roach

thanks Kevin this is very helpful

Thank you very much
Comment from : Suzan Bouchard

Not just the lathe that can eat your lunch----watch out for the mateerial you are machining---the ribbon that comes off some metals can remove a finger or hand very quickly!!!!
Comment from : ;Johnny Hays

A well done video, thank you So many people are machining curios but have never had the chance to actually touch one You did a good job on explaining the basics brbrAlso, good job in talking about safety These machines all have an evil heart and they will sucker you in so that they can eat you
Comment from : OldFartHacks

The on/off switch placement is diabolical, okay it's ancient, but having to lean towards a work piece or whatever that's flying off is a no no Safety nowadays will have you stepping back and hitting a remote cut off as you get to f#@k out of there
Comment from : Mr Fixit Winton

Leaving the chuck key in the chuck like that isn't a good look
Comment from : Mr Fixit Winton

wow i haven't used a lathe in over 40 years its great to see such a old lathe still in use bravo great video

Comment from : Smart Drive Valeting

I just came here from the brutal Russian video on reddit If anyone knows, Is this the same kind of lathe he was using? This one looks smaller? Can a small lathe do the same thing that happened to the Russian man?

It’s important to stress what “Jerk you inside there” really means👍🏽
Comment from : Jon Brown

First year Industrial Millwright Mechanic apprentice and this was extremely helpful We have an ancient LeBlonde lathe in our shop It's so used that all the dials almost have the increments worn smooth I had to make a gap spacer for a paddle in a big mixer the other week and this was good to watch beforehand
Comment from : Nathan Godin

This video was highly educational for beginners
Comment from : Damian Hans

Thank you Kevin Whether it's a welding video or lathe Great videos

Why do yutuber work with Aluminum instead of steal in their video ? Baffle me !
Comment from : Adrien Rouxel

So fun So much to be made!
Comment from : hydrofarmer15

Very nice video and very educational I am a retired, savy white collar worker and have an interest in tool & die, however,, I see that I still have a bit to learn
Comment from : Retired & Happy

Thank u so much for this video Mr Caron! I’m a first year metal student and we have one of these, i’ve been able to sorta avoid it for now but it’s been bothering me that i didn’t really know how the basics to operate it were! This video was so helpful and I really appreciate it ❤️❤️
Comment from : sydney lukasiewicz

I cant hear him talking at all I know my audio isnt broken because i can hear other videos
Comment from : X2HaydeN2X

Thank you! You're a great teacher!
Comment from : ASTC

Do some lathes not have a tool height adjustment and shims are used to adjust the tool height?brAlso, not all lathes have thread cutting capabilities - correct?
Comment from : YT-User

Aren’t you also NOT supposed to wear sleeves as well, just like you aren’t in this video?
Comment from : YT-User

If I close my eyes I can only hear Kermit the frog
Comment from : Gary Thurston

I know it’s an old video, but thanks for this! Nice introduction to turning
Comment from : SoundMind TV

that is impressive Thank you elder , you've helped a lot with my homework 😅 Greetings from the Poland
Comment from : Asaad

I would rather watch a video like yours, than sit through an HGTV video with oversaturated colours, people who try to be funny and camera cuts of different angles thrown in just to stretch the topic out to meet "production value" time slots, on the same topic
Comment from : berner

Your lathe machine is very good
Comment from : Ramesh Bharakhada

How much does this weigh and what kind of price would this lathe be?
Comment from : A-ARON

I am not a machinist nor do I work in any industries but I m terrified of these things, I visited recently a factory and when I entered , I turned and saw it behind me I immediately backed instinctively 5 m even if it was off
Comment from : HisMajestyAli

Thanks for explaining the basics to people I've worked as a welder over 20 years around sophisticated machine shops with ancient and new equipment but never learned the basics and terminology Thanks
Comment from : HeyMan

Nice job Kevin Great to see an old lathe working well!
Comment from : Cramers Classics

Greetings from the UK! I’m a first year engineering student, and I have an assignment coming up I need to learn the basics of lathes, and this video gave a really good introduction to them Thanks for making the video!
Comment from : Octollie

War finishes on industrial woodworking machinery typically have castings just minimally and coarsely ground Machined surfaces such a table tops were left with coarser machining too
Comment from : Mark Koons

Thank for make this vdo,

I have loved the video Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

Hey Kevin, whatcha makingbeen awhile since I visited, best wishes, Paul
Comment from : Paul Brown

Thanks
Comment from : WhyNot I

I had one from world war 2 that my grandpa restored for me it wasn't very safe so I didn't use it he couldn't find a belt so he stapled it together
Comment from : AGame

You inspire me to build stuff, thanks Kevin for all you do
Comment from : D3ss3rtTV

Loved the ending!!! I was thinking about the same thing lol:0
Comment from : Top Tool Club

Not gonna lie Laughed at making sparks
Comment from : buscarkov

We had one in high school but they never showed us how to use it or what applications it could be used in They just said it was too dangerous and the 7 years I studied in that department I never seen it in use
Comment from : Cerberus

Not gonna lie saw a video of some Russian guy getting demolished by one of these so had to look this up lol
Comment from : 28 Visions

For some reason i’m here having been completely traumatised by cctv footage of an accident where a worker gets horrifically killed by getting caught in a rotating lathe type machine and i won’t get into details just wondering if you know the video i’m talking aboutbr brI don’t exactly know why i am here but it just makes me feel more at ease, interesting video though :)brbrEdit: sorry i’ve just realised that basically every comment mentions it 😂 i don’t mean to be annoying
Comment from : Will Acheson

So how do you know what has to be oiled or not when it is being cut?
Comment from : J R Deckard

Thank God someone mentions not wearing gloves
Comment from : YourLastSandman

Anybody here from after seeing that video? If you are you should know what I’m talking about RIP to that guy 😔🙏🏾
Comment from : Craig Mack

So he was trying to turn it off and he got caught 😢 damn
Comment from : Jimmy Gonzalez

Who hear from tiktok trying figure out wtf sucked that man in like that
Comment from : ツJordan8103ツ

I came here just to see cuz I saw a guy get cut off from that machine
Comment from : Anderson Paxtor

It’s crazy that I know how strong these machines are, but never truly fathomed until I saw some guy get caught in it, whipped around like a rag doll and turned to chunks within seconds
Comment from : BroImLeandre

Hey Kevin! I have enjoyed your videos What do you use your metal lathe the most for? Stay healthy my friend
Comment from : Ron Bianca

You shouldn't use the half nuts for turning as they will wear out , this lathe is equipped with a feed clutch and that should be used
Comment from : Jeffrey Lehn

I gave you a thumbs down because:br1-you were cutting away from the Chuckbr2-you didn’t even mention the taper attachmentbr3 I’m an anal retentive retired tool and die maker
Comment from : Gene Neseth

wonderful superb
Comment from : ken benson-clarke

You are a great teacher kevin
Comment from : Justus Njuguna

You're getting names wrong too - the apron is the front face of the carriage
Comment from : pmailkeey

You know too much about the job to be able to do a basic video ! You're using too many specialist terms re the chucks that a newbie just wouldn't have a clue about
Comment from : pmailkeey

helping me with engineering in college 5 and a half years after its posted wow
Comment from : Kamie

the reason i want to maybe get a small one, is a 1891 weltrecord german antique ratchet screwdriver, i cant find one to restore so why not remake it and it would take a metal lathe to do so and knowing how to work the lathe but i also need a breech for the ratchet part

Comment from : freshmeatpopsicle

Enjoyed lesson, I too have a Sheldon, just purchased, but haven't used it yet Still cleaning it up
Comment from : Thomas Chandler

thanks buddy! im just learning,and im used to doing things by hand for small projects and really need help! i appreciate it!
Comment from : Dirty White Boy

i just bought the same latheshame it doesnt have metric threads :)
Comment from : Poksutin

Can you do a video about all the different shapes and angles etc of cutting tools? I just got a nice second hand lathe and need to buy some cutting tools and it's a big learning curve to get started when you know nothing :)brNot so much threads as that's more advanced, but for example:br* Facing the end of somethingbr* getting a good surface on a round stock at the right diameterbr* cutting a grove with a square/u shape/v shape profilebr* making a conical/tapered shape etcbr* hollowing out a part (inside cutting)br* parting off a finished itembrbrAnd basically what shape cutting tools you'd use to do these things, what angles, heights etc you should attack the metal atbrbrI'm an artist too, so it's mainly creative things I'd be using the lathe for so knowing the basics is very helpful! brbrGreat video too I've subscribed!
Comment from : Martin Dolan

You have a great and simple way to explain things Keep up the good videos ! Muz
Comment from : mthebone

That sheldon is so quiet, Did you lube up the gear train before the video? I noticed you changed the gear box feeds while in motion Is the Sheldon designed to do that?
