I have no indication what I'm doing
LOL, it looked like you knew how to turn the wheel thingy's.

On a serious note. Does that lathe have back gear?
Seriously, I don't know what that is.
On another serious note, what holds the carriage in place while I make my cut? It wants to push away and out of the cut, so I have to hold the handwheel to keep it from moving. Obviously, I can't lock it onto the feed screw, as I want it to not move. Basiclly, how do you lock the carriage down while using the compound slide?

Did it come with a manual? There has to be a lock on the carriage, on mine I use a wrench and it just synches down on the way's. Take a close up pic of the carriage and post it up.
Back gear enables another gear set which will turn the lathe at a very slow speed, good for screw cutting, or turning a large piece.
So far, I've only read enough of the manual to do the break-in. I suppose it's time I read a little more! It's more fun making videos and sharing my ignorance for the world to laugh at

I just quickly looked through the manual and couldn't see where it said how to lock the carriage down. Look around the ways, there must be a clamp that you tighten up with maybe a Allen key or something.
Who needs a manual anyway Once I knew what to look for, it was immediately obvious.

Here's a shot of my "razor sharp" tool. The ring end pins really did a number on it!
I think I went a little too far on the popup.

HAH!! Good deal. It was pushing out of the cut because of you cutter.

LOL, didn't think it would last. Must be a place local where you can pick up some HSS, and get a white wheel for you grinder for sharpening HSS.

A little JB weld and it will be as good as new.
You scare me.
I will get your care packaged shipped out on Tuesday. Its time to retire that chisel.

LOL JB the piston. Hell I'll TIG it up for you, the scoring too, then you can remachine it and you'll have a new 088 piston. Good as new!!
It's not even an 088 piston, lol:hmm3grin2orange:

Hmm well we can make it into one. For some reason in the video I thought you said it was a 088 piston.

I did. I said a LOT of things in that video
Oh ha ha ha, for a minute I thought I was losing my mind. Good to hear only you are.

Maybe this is what you were trying to make? :msp_unsure:
Oh.. at $15 an insert, stay away from these!
and soon you'll be making stuff like this; the chucked portion is 4.5 inch mystery metal (43xx I think):
and your floor will look like mine :
and you'll threading stainless to a shoulder like a pro!
Welcome to the most expensive hobby you've ever imagined, and to the biggest time-sink of your life. lol... but it is fun. Apart from the chips in the carpet and sticking up between the cracks in the hardwood floor, I think my wife likes it 'cos she knows where I am at all times - down in the shop(s)!
