South Bend Lathe Feed Screw - Acme Threads & Involute Gears!

In today's video I'll be making a cross slide feed screw for a South Bend 9" lathe. This feed screw will work for either a South Bend 9a or 9b lathe, as it includes the involute gear used for the power feed. This project involves a good deal of work, has some challenging features, and everything needs to remain concentric. I'll do my best to give an overview of the entire process and all of the different operations involved. I will cover turning, grooving, single point threading and acme thread, and cutting a gear on the vertical milling machine. I hope that you enjoy the video, and please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have in the comment section. Who am I? I'm a hobby machinist, with a passion for old machine tools and manual machining. I am here to share and learn. Being self taught, much of my limited knowledge, has come from others sharing their experiences online, just as I am doing now. My hope, is that by putting my work in front of much more knowledgeable machinists, we can all learn something new together.
