Turnado : Copying Parts, Ball Turning, and Crazy Godlike Powers

You have just changes my life.... Making my chess set will only take 2 years now instead of the 7 I was thinking

Congrats on the new shop Quinn! 4:20 Dying in a collapsed pile of end-cuts suggests a life well lived😎

I first saw this tool on Prezzo's channel, and was astonished at how clever it was, it had never occurred to me that this would be possible on a metal lathe. I can see how anyone wanting to make steam-age models would see this as essential for all those brass finials and linkages on their Victorian/Edwardian models. Great for shower doorknobs, too!

I liked that technique of using the tailstock as a guide at the end. Cool little tip there!

Thanks for the shoutout Quinn. Welcome to the turnado club! I am still finding new uses for mine. It is definitely hard work though!

It's so easy for me to understand you since I'm a retired software engineer into electronics and machining. You just make sense to me. I'm glad you're there and I'm glad so many others follow your channel.

Hi Quinn. I’m a newcomer to your channel. I’ve really enjoyed watching a few recent videos and going back through the catalog of old series and videos you have already done. I’m a machinist by trade in the US and really like sitting back and watching you work. Hopefully one day I can have a hobby shop of my own and make stuff I want to make instead of huge parts for our customers here. You seem very knowledgeable and I love the tempo of your content. I definitely subscribed and hope to stick around as long as I can. Thanks for your time!

I hope that all of your viewers (past and future) appreciate and pick up on the little gems of information scattered within this presentation. Kudos.

Astonishing. What a fabulous piece of kit. Eccentric Engineering are well known here in the UK. They advertise in all the Model Engineering publications. Australia to Canada. Great example of Commonwealth cooperation!

I still don't have a mill or lathe, or even the space or funds for them, but when I do I'll be so prepared from watching your videos!

The lighting in the new workshop looks fantastic

Thanks for that, Eccentric's Diamond Tool Holder goes well on small lathes too.

wonder if you could add a lever to the contour linkage, get some mechanical advantage and increase the resolution of your hand movements for surface finish

I like the way you keep your offcuts. Clean and properly marked😊

I have a bunch of offcuts bolts plate bar you name it I can't seem to get rid of it but when I have in the past it never failed that 2 days later I needed what I tossed out

wow i have learnt something new about using a vice and mine is the same as yours, I did not know why there were threads in the back. Anyway, what a faboulouse and well made device Thank you for showing.

Lots of part copying rigs that I've seen have some sort of spring or counter weight system to apply a constant pressure to the tool as it feeds back and forth over the work piece up to where the template is hit.

Listening to your thought processes really enhanced my learning, thanks. This jig will be on my wish list. Glad that you're back on the air!

I purchased one of these about 5 months ago and I have loved it every day since!

And I already thought machine tools created magic! This is amazing.
