CNC Myford S7 Lathe – Cutting Left-Hand thread M19*1.75mm

Cool video about lathe cutting, take a look:

Hi Back to the threading! This example shows a left-handed thread being machined (M19*1.75mm). As you can see, it works just as well for left-hand threads as it does for right-hand ones. Again, virtually any pitch thread can be machined easily. It might be worth noting that, if a thread milling or grinding attachment were to be added to the lathe, then even greater accuracy could be achieved as well as being able to produce large diameter threads. There is no undercut provided at the start of the thread in this example, although, tougher steels may require one. I was using EN3B. Take a look at some of my other channel videos for further information on my CNC Kit that has been added to this 1969 Myford Super 7 lathe. Thanks for taking a look at my video Alan

This is how I have been filing and polishing clock pivots. Often times there is no easy way to chuck a wheel in the lathe. This method has proven to be so fast to set up that I use it almost exclusively now.

1.3 Machine Tool Basics — Lathe Cutting Tools — SMITHY GRANITE 3-in-1

Cool video about lathe cutting, take a look:

www.smithy.com (view transcription of video below) Learn about the basics of metal lathe operations using our Smithy Granite combo lathe machines. You can visit us at www.smithy.com for more information or send us any questions about your project. Our trained technicians will be glad to help you with your project. “The selection of a cutting tool is probably the most important decision a machinist can make. We are going to cover some of the basics, but I urge everyone who intends to use the lathe, to learn as much about cutting tools as possible. They are the key to the quality of your work. Lathe tools are made from many different types of materials, in many sizes and styles. The three types we are using today are, from the left, high-speed steel tools, carbide-tipped tools, and on the right, carbide-insert tools. High-speed steel tools can be used on many turning operations, on all but the toughest alloys. The tools are sold as blanks in many sizes and grades. The machinist grinds the point of the tool depending on the type of metal he is cutting and the type of turning operation he intends to do. A good machinist’s handbook will give you the standard guidelines for grinding high-speed steel tools. The cutting edge of a carbide-tipped tool is brazed to the end of a steel shank. The shape of the cutting edge, it’s profile and cutting angles, are manufactured into the tool. A little cleanup on a green wheel, a silicone carbide grinding wheel, and the tool is ready to go …

Can I use a drum/rotor lathe to shave my rim faces?

So I have 2 piece welded rims I am taking apart and converting into a 3 piece. The problem is, the back of the surface isn’t smooth enough to mount on my innr barrel. Therefore, I have a decent fairly expensive looking rotor cutting machine/lathe at my shop that I was wondering if I could use to shave my faces down to create a flat surface? Would I just need to change the cutting blades? My faces, I believe are aluminum.

I have done it before but I went to a machinest to have him shave down my faces, but he’s hard to get in contact with and pretty unreliable sometimes.
@mindbomb, i don’t know if your being sarcastic, what would break?
by the way, of course i searched google. my question is very rare which is why i posted here.
ive worked a lathe and cut a rotor before, just wondering if it would cut threw my rim face since its aluminum.
