I agree. I've never seen digital as accurate as analog. Without a LOT of cost.
Flame suit on....

I like watching the needle move more than watching the numbers change. It gives you a much better visual in the case of say, something being warped.

I know very, very little about machine tools or tooling. I have found that I can grind a tool blank into about any shape I need and even I can make nice clean cuts in aluminum with them. Studying tool grinding and getting a good grinder is another thing to learn now.
That's pretty much all I use now Randy. I have a pile of HSS enough to last me a lifetime, I bought a big lot of used stuff of Ebay, was a smoking deal, a few bags of stuff, lots of it was already used, but being HSS, can be reground many many times.
LOL. Ya, indicators are pretty much a needed tool for using a lathe, I have a few of them. Now mine are nothing fancy.

I'll agree there.
When I tell Brad it's a Compac he'll tell me he has a computer and I spelled it wrong. LOL

Agreed. An AGD series 4 when indicating something large or WAY off center. LOTS of needle swing.

didn't crawl through all the links, but I didn't see a shim/pad in the insert pocket
of those boring bars.
just from looking at photos of combustion chambers on here has me wondering
how much of an interrupted cut he'll normally get into and it's on a shallow tangent
so that chrome will work a little harder againt the carbide.
you guys know what that'll do for the insert, and after a number of crunches
in a non pad/shim pockect , the pocket gets damaged and then isn't supporting the
insert in the loaded region.
at that point the (any) tool is trashed bacause it'll do nothing but snap the inserts.
which , in a blind hole, get's him chance at a gouged cylinder (right at the top)
of those boring bars.

Oh, about not using dead center for plugging t'tstock.
don't hang out near as far as that Jacobs (specialy with the key in it)
dang it feels amazing to hit that special spot in your elbow
besides if Ya hang a folded rag on the tail down over the center,
it'll give a bit of padding too.
if that don't work out , you'll always have a bandage & tourniquet handy !
Hell, he's gonna need an overhead hoist to change workpeices anyhow,
so could just use that to always swing the t'stock off when not in use.
Being a little flippant there for a moment:
= = =
fun battle scars?
Oh yeah those chip in elbow pit, (couldn't get good light on all of 'em) while your hand's on the lever at .400~.700
away from the shoulder and don't forget the indicator that'll get smacked and bent shaft.
other pic is why I can't take ambien sleep med.
semi blackouts (with chainsaw) and amnesia
welding and torching , yeah all the down boot and siz around ankle knob
face spatters (overhead torching out slide rails rusty intermodal trailer frames.
weld spatter in the ear makes a cute waxy( bacon like) sizzle.
like I said earlier a bushy, not long, beard helps keep those hot sharp circumcisers
from going down the front of Ya shirt.

The lathe has better than an hour run time on it, now that the break-in process is complete. 2400 RPMs is scary to someone not used to running a lathe! It got ran at each speed for about 10 minutes. It's ready to make chips, but I have no tooling lol
You should do a MM to max out that thing! :hmm3grin2orange:
Waiting for the first photos.....

He already is wanting a VFD.........

Look for apps that will help you figure SFM, FPR, FPT, MRR, BHC, PD, GDT, LMC, MMC, etc.

If you don't, you'll be SOL because what you made is NFG and QA will put a HFD tag on it. :hmm3grin2orange:

Totally cracking me up!!
All true though. Whether you're on a VTL or an HBM you better get the chips on the floor and the parts out the door PDQ 'cause the owners want their ROI !

OK guys. You're cheating. Most of these acronyms you're using aren't machining related
It's time to make chips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
