Excellent series! In the example where a suspension part is clamped to the lathe faceplate, the extreme danger of the an off balance part should be pointed out with attention given to the starting RPM of the lathe.

Once again VERY impressive! I had never seen nor thought of using double sided tape for sheet metal turning. Keep up the good work.

As a novice to the metal shop, these videos are invaluable. Thank you very much for sharing this king of information in a video format. I have uploaded it onto my PDA/Mobile phone, and can now watch the videos wherever I might be.

Good information for me as I started making prototypes with no machine education or experience. Now I’m going back and learning something about operating mills and lathes.
I think I saw the videos are circa 1995. Do you now use cnc machines in your lab?

Thank you so much for making this series of videos available to joe public. I’m very new to machining having recently bought an ex industrial Colchester lathe and a Bridgeport milling machine, I’ve learnt so much really useful info from your examples.

great videos!…..as a beginning machinist, i learned alot. but….i can’t believe how cavalier thia guy is about putting his hands around running machinery. he strikes me as a math prof that got put in charge of the machine shop, and teaches thusly. i sure hope he doesn’t demonstrate this way to kids at college, cause’ those rich kids at MIT got daddys w/lawyers…i learned to keep my hands away from stuff in j.r. high metal shop, this guy’s probably too young to have had a j.r. high metal shop, so…a couple of times i almost couldn’t watch! i guess a video of this guy getting a finger whacked off w/a fly cutter wouldn’t have gone far….

how would we center the stock without the live center?

This entire series is indeed outstanding and well worthwhile watching for anyone with any interest in machining. It was not intended to teach machine shop, but to provide a very basic undrestanding and to hopefully to keep the inexperienced from losing body parts when making one off units. I even learned some new tricks in this series, but still contend that the most useful tool I own in the one that sits on my shoulders. Fancy CNC tools are no no more of a substitute for older machines than calculators and computers are a substitute for understanding math. Keep up this outstanding endeavor.
