Great addition to the shop, interesting to see the assembly and set-up. Nice vlog, thanks for sharing. Best regards John from the UK.

The Toolchange -mechanism on your lathe remind me on a automatik toolchanger in a Hermele, or Haas CNC milling maschine, but a manual on a lathe is new for me, i am seeing this the first time. The vibration rotation water grinder is a cool set. But snow in california? I never expected that in CALIFORNIA, the sunny State.

I plan on putting a auto rotating tool changer post on the lathe this week. Keep a look out for that video. California has all types of weather, the snow is up in the mountains. thanks for watching!

David you can insert small sections of viton o-ring cord in the slots of the 5C collet to help facilitate opening and making it easier to pull your pin in and out.

If you give the outside body of your chuck a light tap with a deadblow hammer, it will come loose with no prying.

Always interesting. Thanks for posting. I wonder how much material the abrasive tumbling removes? I would expect that for high tolerance parts you would need to allow for some 'shrinkage'.

I don't think it's that much. If you look at how much material concentrated work with emery paper on a lathe removes, then you can see that this is much less aggressive, and should therefore remove way less material. My guess would be that it's less than a tenth (a tenth of a thousandth of an inch, if you're not into machining jargon. I dunno who I'm talking to here)

I agree with Vincent. I think the tumbler is most useful for breaking off burs and sharp edges only, larger surfaces just get a burnish. Thanks for watching.

Make sure your cam-locks are all loose, then bump chuck with a soft hammer. No need to use a screwdriver.

The gadget that you are using to quickly lock and release the collet is called a "collet closer". Some people just call them "closers" for short.

I wonder if this is a measuring cap? \*Proceeds to pour half the bottle in* As always, great video! Are you planning for your robot to change lathe tools? Or can it hold a little parts tray and say "Yahtzee"? I'm pretty excited for that! Robots are freaking amazing!

Hi Vincent, I am actually setting up an add on 4 position tool holder / changer ( rotating tool post) The robot will push the buttons on the control and catch the parts. Thanks for watching!

I am enjoying your series. I would love to see you feature a discussion and episode on a plastic injection mold requiring a sideways pull pin, using a slide or an actuator. I am trying to solve this problem in the best way for a rapid prototype currently, and neither option seems easy. Any suggestions?

Hi David, thanks for watching! I did a video about 3 weeks ago where I show a mold with a side pin pull and an unscrew thread "robot and injection mold integration" hope you like it

You can find some tips about tumbling by Stefan Gotteswinter in this video (skip to 36:00): kzitem.info/news/bejne/1KaDtGilqnyagYY He uses 30-60ml of water and a splash of ordinary dish soap. Additionally, you should not allow water containing plastic particles down your drain but he did not give a safe way to dispose of the waste water. Some media is ceramic abrasive inside a plastic shape which will wear, contaminating the water. You don't need to dig through the bucket, you can use it with the lid off and just pull the parts as they reach the top.

At what point do you stop calling it 'stock' and just call it material? If it's sitting in a rack on shelf, then it's stock, once you cut it for the job, surely it's now material?

The track stuff is a good deal but it’s cheaply made. Sad.
