Lots of different machining operations in this video - Facing, Turning, Parting, Drilling and Power Tapping 410 Stainless Steel on a Manual Lathe and Drilling and Tapping a Bolt Circle CNC Mill.
Seemingly simple project, which as usual turned out rather more complicated than I initially gave it credit for. Ran into several challenges along the way working with this Stainless Steel, and also a couple of issues with my design. Fun project, lots of learning and lots of hiccups along the way. One of the issues was tapping the drill chuck too deep and making the chuck jaws sticky and the overall chuck non functional. I cut one of the drill chucks apart to see the issue and got to learn the full inner workings of a drill chuck along the way.
Long video I know but maybe there is a section that will help you with a project you are working on.
Key Points In The Video:
7:36 - Drill and tap chucks
22:05 - Machine 410 Stainless Steel Base Plates
38:15 - Parting 410 Stainless Steel Base Plates
43:25 - More Parting 410 Stainless Base Plates
55:40 - Drilling 410 Stainless Steel Threaded Rod
58:48 - Update on project challenges
1:02:40 - Prep Jig to Drill and Tap Bolt Circle in CNC Mill
1:08:00 - Drill and tap bolt circle in 410 Stainless on CNC Mill
1:20:35 - Make Jig and turn points on Stainless Screws in Lathe
1:31:05 - Cut Drill Chuck Open to see how it works
1:37:17 - Redo the drill and tapping of drill chucks
1:44:22 - Drill Stainless Steel Threaded Rod
