Pratt & Whitney lathe Anonymous 2016-06-03 02:42:55 Post No. 1003031 [Report]
Got this old Pratt & Whitney 16" x 54" lathe hooked up. Set the feed rate to 60 TPI (slow as it goes) and engaged power feed on a light surface pass on a rod of crap hot rolled, and lo and behold terrible surface finish. I think it's feeding too fast.

Any ideas why? No I'm not using the half nut as a power feed.

tool was a rather large insert, an elongated diamond shape. Probably carbide.

Not at the moment, too tired from hooking up the phase converter.

I just realized I didn't have the right letter selected, my mistake.

Uhh, you sure you mean TPI (Threads Per Inch)? That would imply that you are threading. Feed for a lathe should be given in Inches Per Revolution (and therefore be a decimal inch. Not anything nearing a whole inch).
