Re: pic: Newbie learning to operate a lathe
What sort of tutorial do you have him running?
to my eye it looks like you just have him running a few passes and I would assume at different set depths every time on a piece of scrap? Nice lathe! |
Re: pic: Newbie learning to operate a lathe
Tutorial is "on the job" training.
Actually that is "flight hardware." One of the spacers for our drive train. There is a digital readout behind his head. And that's the small lathe at our sponsors shop. |
Re: pic: Newbie learning to operate a lathe
Oh alright. I like what i hear. Who is your sponsor? If that's there small lathe, their larger ones must be quite something.

Re: pic: Newbie learning to operate a lathe
G & L Tool.
That's the smaller of the two manual lathes. The 2 CNC lathes are quite a bit larger. It's great to have generous sponsors that "get it". :D |

Not that I am bragging...but here goes anyway.
I cannot thank G & L Tool enough for their participation on Rosie. We have access to their entire shop, they donated a 3 axis cnc milling machine 2 years ago to Agawam HS, have arranged outside resources to help us make Rosie pretty (a local plating shop), provided raw material, (can you say titanium axles?), and kick in a few bucks every time we do a World Famous Ziti Dinner. G & L co-owners Bob and Dave --you are the best!:D |

Re: pic: Newbie learning to operate a lathe
1771 was lucky enough this summer for Gwinnett County schools to buy us a 12 by 36 grizzly lathe. I just learned how to use it the other day and i've made 8 of our 32 drivetrain spacers so far.

I got my lathe training as an on-the-spot-as-needed thing too. Just be sure that he knows to ask questions if something seems wobbly or just wrong, because lathes are rather picky, and it's often hard to diagnose a problem when you're just starting out. I'd list off the machinery that we're lucky enough to have, but I'm not sure about proper types and terminology and everything. We have one small mill, two giant ones, and we currently have two lathes (but are getting rid of the smaller one), among various other bandsaws and drill presses and sanders. |

Shameless plug coming up-- G & L Tool is a relatively small machine shop. (about 15 employees) They can handle just about anything that anyone can throw at them in quantities of 1 to whatever. |

Also don't forget no jewelry. Being around a machine shop my entire life I have seen way to many avoidable accidents.
