Making A Replacement Spindle For An ASV Skid Loader - Manual Machining

I like your channel because we see actual jobs being done for customers. A lot of the Youtube lathe and milling machine channels spend most of the time making add-ons for equipment they own or trying to come up with new ideas to make machinists hammers or fixture plates etc. Nice to see a real world person doing real jobs. ****

You are the first person I have seen that doesn’t use three times more AnchorLube than he needs.Every time I see someone glob that stuff on, I shake my head.

Kind of blew my mind to watch you freehand those totally respectable radiused transitions. Bravo.

Josh, you are talent on loan from God. I am a hobbyist and am grateful for all your content. Thank you.

I wish I had learned machining when I was younger. Another great video!!

Gorgeous surface finish. Almost nobody gets a mirror when hogging off that much metal. Nice job!

BIG CHIPS! LOL I love it.... it makes some of the viewers go nuts.... 'you're pushing your machine too hard....'. The only drawback is that you didn't use an adjustable wrench in this video! 🤣😂

I know you are not lying about the Lion, you told us why, and its good to see your integrity. Thanks for another interesting video

I just love how the frame rate makes it look like the lathe is in reverse!

Very nice work your customer should be pleased !

That radius blending freehand was beyond impressive! Nice stuff!!

superstar !!!! Someone please send this man a khaki Rolls Royce dust jacket with the RR on the pocket

It is always informative to see you make parts like this. When I see what the video is going to be about, I pause it, have a think through how I'd do the process, then start the vid again and see how close I was. On this one I was pretty damn close, which makes me happy. I'd love to know what insert that is if you'd care to share. I keep getting told by a variety of amateur machinists that I shouldn't attempt to to take light cuts (.002 like) with carbide inserts. I have yet to figure out why. I do it quite often out of necessity and apart from the stringy piece of razor sharp spaghetti it cuts fine. Yeah sure I try and finish diameters with a couple of identical similarly loaded cuts but some times you have to do a final adjustment. The machinists at my last job took 2 and 3 thou finishing cuts on big lathes and VTLs all the time so I think that is some sort of a myth. Sorry, TL;DR.

Fascinating video! Can I suggest, if it works with your plans, that you do a video about basic safety around machine tools? I can't recall ever seeing one and I think it would be helpful to beginners like me. I'd like to try machining, but without knowing what not to do it's intimidating. Those machines need to be respected. Thank you!

Happy days Josh, proper job well done, always enjoy watching these kind of parts being made, thats another machine back up and running, thanks for sharing buddy and best wishes to you and yours 👍

Thanks Josh. Nice job.

Nice work Josh. Have a great day. 👍

Beautiful work!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done!

Great job JOSH.
