How to build this lamp made out of plumbing pipes and a old gage.
Superb, thank you. Clear and Concise. An amateur DIY-er who just needs 'Good Enough'. I need it today, but I might never use it a second time
Having the cutter running whilst changing job position is not the biggest safety issue, resting your hand on the vice whilst the cutting is running down and turning to the camera 8:19 is worse as attention is taken from the hazard. That said i have just the part for trying this technique. Thanks.
Not a really practical or useful video.......Weldon devices are as rare as hen's teeth and not many people even have a surface grinder........I had one that was fitted to an old KO Lee cutter grinder, and it was an air bearing type.
Super unsafe! Why chance losing your hand or fingers? He says, because of time I decided to rotate it with my fingers loose in the vise instead of clamping it? Wow.
To complex . Uses Styrofoam
You didn't bring the stop up to lock the quill when you cut with the side of the mill. If the lock wasn't real tight the mill could have been pulled down into the work.
thankyou sir
The torque to pressure ratio depends massively on the thread. Its pitch more than anything but also the type and finish. Loved the rest of the vid but the last comparison wont have added much information.
While this is interesting, it is thoroughly explained with pictures in a 'Small Boats Magazine' article dated MAY 2019, entitled 'Sharpening Files'. He mentions the acid-containing product by name, 'Clean Shot Drain Opener', and states that it is '93 percent sulfuric acid'. The only place it is available is at Tractor Supply for $14.99 for a small bottle. He mention that "This drain opener with 93 percent sulfuric acid, gets diluted with water to a 10-percent solution that can sharpen a file in about an hour." That is the key point. 10% sulfuric acid solution.
I will be using this idea next time I need a radius cut. Also, what was not mentioned is no lifting is required for us older folks (vise, rotary table, ..etc). Thanks!!
Many thanks for interesting video.

That's gotta be the worse tip and advise to do that. A piece of cardboard woks wonders to clean the groove and scoop back all the paint you left dripping on the side, then a piece of paper to clean the rest
Audel's Machinists Tool Makers Handy Book is by one of my most favorite technical Authors, Frank D Graham. He wrote almost exclusively for the Theodore Audel Company. Over an almost fifty year career, he wrote wonderful, easy to understand manuals on diverse subjects ranging from steam engineering to carpentry to radio. His writing was opinionated to the point that you thought you were reading a novel, wondering what would turn up on the next page.
I hope this is the issue with my Bridgeport because my bearings are fine.
Did you say within .01 or .0001” in the beginning? Cause if you’re within .01 you better start over!
Why not just use a whetstone ?
Can I replace the acid with vinegar ?
Yes, most acid will work
This is cool for a general radius that doesn't need to be super tolerant.. but if you had to do a bunch of these and you needed repeatability and you needed them to be on point I don't think this would work this is more of a one-off thing. It's a cool idea but to truly truly clean it up it would take extra time in the grinding room. So are you really saving time in the long run? Either way it's a cool concept. It's always cool to see people come up with these new ideas or refurbish older ideas. Chances are when we come up with something we're not the first ones that actually thought of it somebody somewhere along the lines probably thought of it and just never you know I had a chance to put it on the Internet or didn't put it on the Internet or there was no internet at the time and so forth. Machining is awesome I'm so glad I got into manual and CNC machining as a career. I truly love it. I'm starting my apprenticeship either this week or next week depending on when my boss actually writes up the documents. Hopefully I'll have them written up by Friday if not they'll be done by Monday or Tuesday. And we mainly just do Milling which I love I love Milling.
Now tighten it down and lets see if it stays.
Ben, I question using outside pressure on the jaws instead of inside pressure. Should you not use a ring on the inside and squeeze the jaws tight, then regrind?
Watched lots of vids, no one ever mentioned tension bei g the steering wheel😂😂❤ Thanks man great tip!!
It was really helpful,i got to understand even better than other machinist videos.. You really are good at what you do,thanks for breaking it down
To why would you not lay your files down horizontal in a small tray so you use less use acid and baking soda?
Thanks for such an interesting demo I enjoyed it and loved the comedy in between I have the same scene to look forward to in a few days though this milling machine is not as heavy as yours, I just hope the trucking company is careful not to damage it, once again thankyou I absolutely loved it. Jim from Australia.
Machining for dummies. Literally. Don't do this.
I've been making radiuses like that for more then 40 years, I'm over 80 years old.
The good news is that I was thinking about building one of these. The bad news is that I missed the 2 week deadline by 9 years. After tramming my mill a few days ago I was thinking about how to make the shaft exactly perpendicular to the square piece I finally came to two conclusions. After all, this is being made to improve on the accuracy of the tram so the conclusion must be that it's not already an acceptable version of perfect. First, the two pieces don't have to be toolroom square to one another because once the dial indicators are calibrated that takes out any irregularity. Second, if the face of the shaft is cut square on a lathe and threaded for a retaining screw, it will square up when the screw is tightened. It's important to make sure that all of the gibs are properly adjusted before tramming including the knee gib. If it's loose and the knee clunks occasionally when being lowered, the angle of the knee to the head is changing every time it's raised or lowered.
Nice video. Need to do the same on my 1954 Cincinnati lathe. Would be nice to know the type of solder and temp you were seeking. Also, notice the soft jaws, probably copper pipe? Subscribed!
I like step pulley machines for the home shop. They are less expensive than a comparable VS mill (everybody wants VS). But if the home shop guy is running off a VFD, he's got a fair amount of vari-speed anyway. Less maintenance, and quiet running are the other two benefits. When I bought my J head Bridgeport to replace my old Millrite,, I specifically looked for a step pulley version.
Come on, man. You have to use your talent and make us another awesome video. Unless you're dead. In that case, R.I.P.
Canode is garbage, get Dycem bluing
And 8 years later: If you just mount the part on a rotary table, you can just swing it around and mill it perfectly with one quick cut.
Tako ja radim već 35 godina...
great advise. thank you
I bought two of these. One with 10 detents so that I could do 5 flutes and one with 24 detents for all the rest. No instructions came with, so trial and error figured it out so it was fast and simple. Flutes cutting edge slightly ahead of 90 degrees on the 2 degree slope to center side of the tool holder. NOW !!!! Instead of putting the tool holder 90 degrees and tight to the fence, use an angle block to butt the trailing side out away from the fence. Angle can very depending on the number of flutes. I generally use 25 degrees on 4 flutes. Drop your wheel so it goes in past the center of the end mill. Take a couple of thousands on each flute while progressively indexing mill. When satisfied with cutting edges tip tool holder up to 30 degrees with the same angle bock in place. Adjust wheel so it cuts into web but does not touch cutting tip or chip hook. You don't get the trough this way but you really don't need it. Sharpening cabide this way does not hold up very well for plunge cutting because the nitrite coating is gone.
I’ve seen worse ideas but it’s not what I would prefer to do. Definitely should clear the cutter further before sticking your fingers in there but maybe that’s me.
Tray using marine grade lithium white grease instead of these Mickey Mouse sprays you are using nice restore job any how
And when he use the yellow-liquid bottle and what for...? Anyone, please...?
This is a negative comment: 📉
You’re telling me there’s not a better way to cut a radius?
Of course there is... just mount the part on a rotary tableand swing it around and mill it perfectly...
This is why i have a plasma cutter on hand in this situations. Thanks for a great video.
Check after tightening down the vice
Measure thrice, cut once. Also, a grey hair told me that just before the chuck starts to cinch, take my little hammer and lightly tap each jaw once, cinch a little and tap again, then tighten her down. Is this good advise? Would that have helped in your situation? I'm here because ive got some bell mouth and I'm trying to see how everyone, and I mean everyone else is doing it.
Nice I'll be using that one Thanx
I don't know what im doing wrong but I've been trying to do this for about an hour and can't get it right
Wondering how long the battery lasts in each tool. Some of the imports have terrible battery life. If you are a professional and arrived with HF tools you would not be taken seriously. HF belongs with the hobbyists.
Seriously? You show a single angle shot the entire video..like how about showing the other half..the back that holds the tank in place..this has to be the worst video on the subject.. what's next maybe a car review that only shows the front passenger fender angle for the entire video..with slight mention of what the rest of the car looks like..lol
Since you fed the grinding stone just as a regular lathe tool, you ended up grinding a slope on every part, as the wheel leading edge wears smaller when you traverse into your work. This technique is only ok if you could traverse the whole feature. Since there's a shoulder you have to plunge the grinding wheel after dressing on the diamond nib. Check out Mr Crispim great series on TP grinder, he says it much better than me at 9:00 on this video: czcams.com/video/ii0Xbzl1kIw/video.html Great content, anyway, love your channel!
Dang , you didn't see the issue with all that mill weight on the angled engine hoist beam ? I wonder how the edge of the ways look with 2000lbs compressed on 2.5" of engine hoist bar ? Man your scary (but happy)
