In this video I show you how I made a square and a hexagon Collet Block.
I made them because it presented me with a challenge and to save me the cost of buying a cheap set that may also need to be remachined.

In my videos, I show you what I went through while making items, I never tell any one how to do things, because no two people have the same equipment, materials or time.

  • I have never seen an auto retractable thread cutting setup. Absolutely amazed. Am now going to watch all your vids
  • Nice project. I love that single point threading tool setup. Really takes the anxiety out of the process.
  • Very nice machine work. It is nice to see a real machinist make his own tooling!!
  • man, i love that threading aid. its the best lathe ad on ive seen in a long time. im busy rebuilding my boley5lz. once i have her up and running ill defenatly build one of those.
  • I liked what you have done here. I also have to agree with Phil Case (below) about the threading tool. I have never seen anything like that before: Anxiety or instantaneous panic at the end!
  • Nice video! Well done instructions for making your own collet hex and square blocks! Like the quick threading tool!
  • Very nice I really like the auto retract thread tool holder . Couldn't you have cut the threads first leaving material for the center then do the tapered bore.
  • Bravo. I was just about to buy a collect block but you have inspired me to give it a go. Just subscribed Frank (Virginia, USA)
  • Hi Paul Now I have a second project to take on Greetings from Ecuador I enjoyed watching .

  • Hi, I just found your channel an clicked on the bell. Great machining videos
  • Great job. I’m interested in your threading tool setup. Do you have a video describing how you made it? Thanks for sharing.
  • Great job 👍 bro . Please make a video on auto retractable thread cutting tool
  • Very nicely done! I will have to go back through your videos and check out all of the items I see you using here
  • The best way to get an uneven shaft as centre as possible is: To face one end and after using your 45° marking ruler find the approximate center. Then punch it, line up with the running centre on tailstock and make a centre hole. Then lath a gripping space for your 3-jaws. Turn the shaft around and repeat. You'll lose the least amount of material this way and probably save on cutting time too. Especially if it is a big piece of work.😊

    Nice! I've recently made an ER11 version (nowhere to buy these that I could find)... I like your thread cutting setup, that looks like it makes things real easy
