Machining a 5C Draw Tube Adapter
In this project we will make an adapter to fit my 5C draw tube to spindle of my Leblond lathe.
First, we need to machine the draw tube in preparation for the new part that we are going to make.
Then, it's on to machine the adapter.
Guided by a set of drawings generated from a model of the part that I made in CAD software, we'll grab a length of 4140 pre-hard round stock, chuck it up in the lathe, and get to work.
Lathe operations covered in this video are turning, facing, turning to a corner, drilling, boring, and using parallels to square up stock in the 3 jaw chuck.
After work is completed on the lathe, its off to the milling machine.
We will mount the diving head on the mill table, square it up with the spindle, and use the 3 jaw chuck on the dividing head to hold the part.
After using an edge finder to locate the spindle in reference to the part, we will use the diving head to index the part.
We will index the part every 120 degrees in order to drill and tap 3 holes around the perimeter of the part.
Thanks for joining me in the shop for this project, and I hope that you enjoy!

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.
My Lathe: Leblond 15x72 gear head metal lathe
