Kurtis BROKE The Big Lathe! | Repairing the Tailstock | Machining & Threading

Uh oh, drama in the Cutting Edge Engineering workshop! Kurtis broke the tailstock on our big lathe and needs to repair it. First thing, we get the tailstock disassembled to diagnose the problem which turns out to be a broken nut for the quill and leadscrew. But the nut has an internal acme thread and we don’t have the right tooling to make a new one! So Kurtis gets creative with machining down the damaged nut and making up a sleeve to fit the nut into. We show the step by step process including machining and threading on the lathe, and using the milling machine for drilling and counterboring the bolt holes. We then get the tailstock reassembled so we can test the tailstock and see if we’ve got our big lathe repaired ready to go back to work.
