      You believe cutting a key slot is an exceptional episode? How old are you? And a further insult is the thumbs up rating.

    Hand grinding that drill bit brings back memories...multi-person machine shop where no one gave a crap about leaving common tools in good shape. I worked in one of those. Get a bit, the thing is burned or bent, Wanna grind it? The stone is just a wobbly mess. The setup time when working with careless colleagues is crazy. It must be nice to be in control.

    • @Punnoosia

      I feel this in my soul. I am the setup person of a large industrial tapping department. I love machining (I'm watching machining on CZcams off the clock on a Sunday) and take enormous pride in it, but the inexperienced and carelessness of other people is killing me. I have been there 3 years but haven't learned how to deal with it. The jobs I work on alone and my continuous training are the only things that make me feel better.

      Go watch Cutting Edge Engineering Australia. Kurtis is always doing something cool in his full service shop. After watching Kurtis, I can't watch Adam anymore. He bs's along too much and takes wayyyy too long to get things going. Like 60% talk, 40% machining. Kurtis is 90% machining and 10% talking.

      Try Cutting Edge Engineering. Kurtis is a full service shop serving the mining industry in Australia so he's always got awesome stuff going on. Fixing parts on HUGE excavators and graders and all sorts of stuff. Sooo much better than Adam, imo. And he doesn't talk for 80% of the vid like Adam. It's mostly machine work and him, actually making and repairing stuff like making a new piston and cylinder for a HUGE, 1 ton hydraulic cylinder. Go watch. You'll see.

    @tomoakhill8825 Před rokem +2

    Thank you Adam. For FORTY years I have had trouble with the pulley on the blade shaft of my table saw. It keeps coming off, and destroying the Woodruff key. My problem has been that the "correct" size does NOT fit, and I have been hand filing them to "fit". How was I to know, prior to the World Wide Web, that a Woodruff key is a tight press-fit? Thanks to this video, I now know how to fix this once and for all. I will replace the key currently in the shaft with a new one, by "press fitting" it into the keyway. I am so excited to finally realize what has been the cause of an almost annual failure. In 1980, when I started my own woodworking shop, there was no access to information about machinery. This was "industrial trade" information, and at that time you would have to go to "trade school" to learn it. In high school I was in the "academic track" bound for college. I bought my woodworking tools with the money I earned as a research chemist right out of college. As I grew up, i was taught woodworking by my grandfather, who learned it from his grandfather who was a Master Furniture maker, ca. 1850. Thus, much like Adam. I learned woodworking skills passed down to me from my great-great-grandfather. But of course that man knew nothing at all about power machinery. He worked in southeastern Iowa, on what was the far western frontier, in Mount Pleasant.

The people in the shops never turned my little projects away. In fact, they sort of took me under their wing and showed me more that I came for... Their help and want to teach, made me feel confident and made me bite off much more.
