Nice big lathe work

I know people tend to poke fun at certain countries and their working techniques but I really enjoyed this video.
Loved the trick with the rag of oil in the dead centre hole.
Not bad work - wonder if that is a Lang lathe?

I wonder what oil they run in the headstock?

Well it still works after God know's how many years!
I wouldn't let them near my lathe though

Whatever they can find is the answer!

I watched the video. They were careful to clean the morse taper shaft and the tailstock receiver, and the lathe didn't look abused.
I also noticed that there wasn't any stupid zombie or the usual commercial breaks in the video either.

I’ve noticed less ads on YouTube lately as well

I’m doubting the authenticity of that video as it didn’t have the obligatory old Indian guy sat in a plastic garden chair doing nowt

Ads? What are they?

I use Vivaldi Browser with uBlock Origin on the PC and Brave Browser on the phone. Not a youtube ad to be seen.

Thanks for the tip. I use Ublock and its great but been struggling on my phone. Trying it now!

 

[fizzy]

Just looked at Brave Browser it says it contains ads?

 

[Other Daniel]

You guys haven't really thought this through properly, have you ?
Once they know that their ads aren't getting through, whatever other devilish
tricks are they going to conceive, in order to fund what we get as free viewing
content ?

Had a look at the plate on mine today and can't seem to find the oils it recommends I was thinking of putting some margarine in it

Many, many years ago when I worked in a cycle shop, someone brought in a wheel with rusty bearings... he said he'd lubricated it with butter

How do you deal with that without saying what you think?!

I know what I’m thinking and I would probably have questioned his parentage and his umm motor skills (forum friendly version)
