70 Ton Friction Press Shaft Part 1 : Rough Turning

This will be a multi-part video about a shaft I machined for Blacksmith Tools. This shaft is for a 70 ton friction press Andrew is working on. The original shaft got bent during it's move so it needed to be replaced. In this video we'll get it all roughed in using our Precision Matthews TL-1660 manual lathe. The next video will show getting the shaft finished to size including the threaded sections. Last video will show the keyways being machined.
