BULL NOSE a tool for lathe. DIY

Very nice work. You have learned to compensate for the inadequacies of your equipment and produce very accurate work. This is what makes a man a machinist.

Enjoyed the video. If you don't mind a recommendation, take the time to mount your material more concentric in the chuck to avoid interrupted cuts, this will make it easier on you machine and tooling. I like to place the material in and tap it in using a dial indicator then center drill and place a live center and face off as much as I can then flip the part and chuck it up and face off the second end then center drill for live center if needed this makes it easier to turn the outer to dimension.

Good job. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

When youre dialling work in (after you flipped the part around), you need to reference two different planes. For the way you had the work held, the best way to do it would be to dial the circumfrence (which is what you did), and then dial in along the parts length, using the carriage to sweep the dial back and forth along the part. This means the part is straight AND concentric, which is what you want. You checked cencentricity, but only on the ring of material where you dialed. If you moved the dial along, it might have been wobbly again! This would all be much easier to straighten up with a four jaw chuck too, if youve got one. Loved your burnishing tool, nice one!

Hi I just ran across your channel. I used to have a machine like yours and hated everything about it. A couple of tips. 1. Generally you machine cast iron dry ( Without lubricant) And steel when using carbide. 2. Always face your workpiece before centering or drilling.

This would be great for turning pipe or something similar to center off the cone. Good job.

Very nice demo! Thanks for the video.

The burnishing of the turned piece certainly makes it look sleek. I was wondering if amongst your tools you have a set of hardness files to measure what change you have made to the surface in terms of hardness. That would be handy to know. Cheers.

Is that a burnishing tool you have lots of neat stuff for your machines really enjoying your channel

Very nice work sir. I can see it will be a good addition to lathe tools

Excellent job man, great video, keep'um coming..

the rain sounds so great when i was a kid our home had a metal roof

Nice job!

If you arrange your compound to be perpendicular to the lathe axis would you not gain enough clearance to allow your tailstock to be positioned much closer to the workpiece thus reducing the over-extension of the tailstock barrel?

Way cool!!! 😃👍🏻

Very nice project 👍😀... But please don't place the center in a jakobs chuck... It will ruin your jakobs chuck and kill the accuracy / concentric of the rotating center

Dobra robota, ja bym wytoczył stożek morse'a, mocowanie bezpośrednio do konika przez co miał byś dłuższe pole robocze niż poprzez uchwyt wiertarski. 👍 subskrybuję😀

ME - I'm confused ! When you are using your Burnishing Tool , what is touching the O.D. of the part ? In the video it looks like the Ball Bearning housing is touching and Burnishing the O.D. of the Part . I suspect that there is a Ball against the Ball Bearing protruding just beyound the O.D. housing and doing the Burnishing . Please clearify -- Jim

Needs a thrust bearing for the "push" force, every single live center has one that have seen made or made in a factory bearing in back isn't going to be up to task, will eventually eat itself

looks like ya forgot to center better center the steel int he 3-jaw with a gage
