Shows set up and machining of pipe in preparation for using a steady rest. Filmed in our shop Oct 2008. This is a project for my home--(Trying to keep the vehicles off my fence.) Keaton Morris assisted me, he is one of my machinist students. This VDO is a rare posting of advanced techniques. I will not be posting many of my advanced vdo's-- those are for vantech school use only. This VDO is here to entice those to become a machinist. Knowledge of Set up and operation is what makes machinists skilled and valuable. Before you comment, remember there are hundreds of different ways to do the same job. I always try to complete things with safety in mind. Keaton and many of my students are looking for careers in the metalworking field. Call me at the school for more information.

  • it'l push the tube ...

    it'l push the tube out of round the way you explain, it will also have a smaller contact area for grip. if he chucks external he has spread the load . then use a boss with a shoulder down the end bore with a live centre for axial pressure application into the face of the chuck.
