An upgrade from the way it was done. The Quincy mine near Houghton MI. Scroll down a bit to see the contraption they used to transport the miners down to the work.
same here! engagement with a braid could be fatal. she seems to know what she is doing but im honestly surprised she has survived long enough to learn the equipment.
It's not a lathe. It's a bar twister, a very nice one at that, and all hand powered. It just happens to use lathe chucks for workholding.
If you watch her body movements you can tell she is working the chuck by hand off screen to the right.
There is no carriage on the bed, and I've never seen a tailstock with a lever to pull it in towards the headstock. You can also just see that the headstock is a pillar just like the tailstock.
There is no motor or powered drive system on that, Pretty much 2 chucks mounted on shafts and bearings. If you look at the right hand you can see how far forward the chuck moves. ON the other side of the chuck there is a large wheel or handle you rotate to get the spiral.
We had a similar unit but instead of using chucks we had to square off the ends, drop them in a holder and crank down a bolt. Sticking chucks on is a genius idea.
#2: Never ridden those but I've been on belt driven vertical man lifts a time or two in a few industrial plants and they're dangerous. If you've been on one you know what I'm talking about.
My dad was a plant manager for Quaker Oats in St Joseph, MO. When I was a kid he would take me with him sometimes and we always rode the man lifts. I sure as hell wouldn't let my grandkids on that. I'm guessing those things are against the law now.
#3 That didn't work out well. #4 If that was alcohol she drank, I would have liked to have seen her say, 30 minutes later. #10 "My job description is.."
I have to say, you would not have wanted to watch me and my twin brother do some of the things we did growing up. This dad is just trying to let his kid grow up and not be a snowflake. The kid had a helmet on, which is much more than I did as a kid. Unless playing football, or such. Of course, I got 5-6 concussions with the helmet on, so there was no way that I could have played football today. The thing is, if we protect with bubble wrap our kids today, then tomorrow, they won't know how to shake off an injury and get up and continue on with their life. Because sometimes, life requires us to do that, be it an actual physical injury, or a blow like a job loss, a bad hurt from a romance gone bad, or God forbid!, not if, but when we lose a loved one, which will happen, sometimes even a child, which if we don't know how to take a hit as a kid, we damn sure won't know how to suffer a huge hit as an adult, which will come when you least expect it. It is not just the liberals that want to provide safe spaces. And they are not doing anyone any favors.
I watched my wife do the same thing on a scooter we rented. I put her in an empty parking lot and told her to practice stops, starts, and turns. She jumped the curb and hit the only tree within 50 yards. They call it 'target fixation'.
"Second op" lathes usually have lever-operated tailstocks, with a fixed, lever-operated carriage with front and rear toolposts and no power feed. They're intended for simple "finish it up" chamfering, countersinking, tapping, etc.

I'm thinking more "Shift Change".
DeleteIndeed. The miners going down the stope have full lunch bags. The ones coming up have their empty lunch bags in their pockets.

Me too. Getting that braid caught in the lathe would be the start of a very bad day. Makes me wonder what sort of supervision there is there.
DeleteLooks like it's just centers, or no power.

That isn't a real lathe... that is a job specific set of chucks... no need to keep long hair or clothes away....
DeleteI was thinking the same thing.

And its yellow hot material. Not gonna catch for long, if at all. Just less hair.
DeleteI was wondering how they heat the material, or keep it hot long enough to manually chuck both ends.
Damn. The kid in #9 took a pretty good shot; I hope he's ok.

ReplyDeleteOne seat ski-lift chair. I don't see why they would be particularly dangerous.

DeleteYes those are pretty wild, back in the day with belt driven machinery and very little painted yellow.
DeleteBelt manlifts are in fact still manufactured by Humphry Manlift Company:
