Easiest part I make and one of my favorite machines
 

Here is a short vid of a simple part I make.
Check out the drill. It's a half round, they cut plastic pretty good
It's not my fastest machine but I am centimental about the old girl

looks pretty cool, ever make any cub parts with it?

Made new thicker but smaller dia than standard washers :biggrin2:

Very cool Terry.

Ever wondered how much $ you'd have if you had just a $.01 for every time that turret has indexed? Smooth running machine to be as old as it is. :beerchug:

Reminds me of "screw machines" run on cams, making various small parts.
most are replaced in today's world by cnc stuff.
Somehow being old skool, I like really old stuff.

I remember when we opened our "state of the art" machine shop in high school,
we had 2 round arm Bridgeports, and 11 power feed/ quick change lathes.
That was 55 years ago.
It seems like yesterday :bigthink:

Nice machine Terry! It's great to see older machinery still at work.

I like to run vintage stuff also but my lathe is ancient compared to yours. Mine is a 1942 war model South Bend!:beerchug::beerchug:

Thanks for sharing with us!:beerchug:

I could put that to good use. I would rather have an HLV-H with all the goodies though. Threading is kind of fun with an HLV-H. I've never had the chance to run the old greats like turrets, screw machines, shapers, Burgmasters and haven't spent much time on horizontal mills.
