Lathe Parting with Matt Slauson (shown during presentation)

Brought to you by: NAPBIRT members John Huth, Greg Beckwith, John Maddox, Matt Slauson, and MSC Southeast BIR student, Ronn Hall Description: This live stream is for those who do not have a lathe but are considering owning one, or for those current lathe owners who want more understanding of basic operations. We will demonstrate these basic metal lathe operations: facing, turning, drilling, scribing, and cutting off. If there is time, we will show internal boring to precise dimensions. We will make a simple trumpet ferrule from scratch to put these operations in perspective. Throughout the clinic, we will share how we use a lathe to support repairing instruments in our shops. Interactive: You can ask questions in real-time throughout the presentation. We will also save time at the end to answer as many questions as possible. Pre-clinic materials: We will focus solely on basic lathe operations, but want to ensure participants have information ahead of time to enhance understanding. These YouTube videos are available prior to and after the clinic: 1. Lathe nomenclature & set up basics

2. Using dial indicators

3. Matt Slauson's Video on Cutting Off
