Work Holding Set Up for Lathe Turning Operations – Basic Tutorial – SMITHY GRANITE 3-in-1
Quote from This Video:
“With this machine you’ll have all the controls you need to turn outside and inside diameters to precise dimensions. Do facing cuts, taper turning, thread-cutting operations with inch or metric threads, and bore larger, more precise holes than could be done with a drill or reamer.”

The machine that Dave is using for demonstration purposes is the Granite MAX 1324. This lathe-mill-drill combo machine sets the standard for premium quality bench top machine tools.
Putting a combination machine tool in your shop allows you to have the capabilities of a small machine shop without sacrificing too much floor space.
The Granite 3-in-1 “big machine” features and premium quality is comparable to other larger, more expensive machine tools. PLUS, you’ll have three machines in one.
Nearly 30,000 Smithy machines are working hard every day in shops across North America. This fact let’s you know that Smithy machines do set the standard for quality.

Granite – Quality, Precision, and Reliability Are Built-In.
Premium Bench Top Machine Tool
America’s #1 – for over 25 years.
PRECISION: Compares to more expensive tools.
BALANCE: Easy change over for different operations.
FEATURES: Pro features help you work faster.
MASS: Heavy castings add more precision.
RELIABILITY: Designed and built for a lifetime of work.
_______________________
As Close As You’ll Get to American Made
1) US Developed and Designed: The Granite Machine was designed by our engineers in Ann Arbor, Michigan based on machine user requests.
2) Precision is far higher than other 3-in-1 knock-offs: All components are machined to tighter specs, bearings are much higher grade, and the basic design is initially higher precision.
3) Higher Quality Production: Smithy employees oversee the production and quality control process at our sister factory of more than 25 years. No other seller can make that claim.
4) Superior Features: No machine out there can match the speed and accuracy with which you can accomplish your machining tasks on a Granite machine. Other 3-in-1 combo tools on the market are NOT EVEN in the same category for quality as the Smithy line of machine tools.

Of course its easier if you center drill BEFORE you install the centers LOL
Yes, informative, and very concise. This video greatly improves basic understanding of how a lathe works, what ways work well, and what limitations it holds.
I'm amazed though at how exact the moving support has to work with the tool in order to functions properly. I mean I understand it, but it's awesome to see it at work.
@3nigmaticBrad yeah excatly 😀
OMG YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!
GOD BLESS YOU!
Thanku sir
Boing fail!
You have to lubricate a dead center. Anything else is bad practice….
Great video! I learned quite a lot from it.
gotta love 4 jaw chucks do bad it takes so long to setup
Amazing what you can learn in just under 5 mins… thanks for your videos.. imformative and to the point… great stuff..
thanks for post this video.
it is pretty good
trés bon tour éxelent qualitée
Awesome … Just starting a formal training program at local college, and training videos were made in 1979. (Still using VHS 🙂 )
All the wafflers should watch this video……clear, concise, accurate and especially no waffle just whats required. Beginners need this type of video…..well done!
Excellent!!!!!!!!
once you get on to the 4 jaws they dont take any time to setup
ok
not like i love it
a neat demo
does anyone give advice on some of the best brands of lathes and machining equipment?
very very usefull, thank you for uploading !!
Good one.
The one that you are most comfortable using is the best one for you. no use getting some fancy one if its too big for you and you find it hard to use.
I will likely buy a granite 3 in 1 based largely on the quality of these videos.Clear, concise and densely packed with information. Of course I realize there is much more to machining that only comes with experience. The videos are great foundation in the basics.
Gota love that reverberation in the room he's in, makes him sound like a movie trailer narrator.
awesome i love production …………..
good quality information is delivered in few minutes.
good for learners and teachers
I love it, thanks to post this video,its usefull to my education
Excellent posting
Thanks a lot for this Sir…
Simply Fantastic
Allowed me to learn several attachments which we were not able to use in our classes…
very informative,.thx
nice video
I'm trying to understand the capacity of this machine for holding shafts. If a machine has 20" between "centers," and the lathe has a through-hole, would that mean that a shaft could be"flipped around" to achieve a consistent cut on a 40" shaft?
After watching this, the use of "dogs" would reduce the capacity of the machine if a shaft needed to be consistently machined down across its length, yes?
helpful…. thank you.
Hey guys i have found the best lathe machine manufacturer in India http://www.zurkenmachines.ca you can also visit the link to check their products and price. I ordered two machines from them. Highly RECOMMENDED
Great info backfiller vid – after many intro vids, this one covers some questions I didn't even know I had(!) Fills in some gaps – thank you for the share.
