“A light stoning” That was our unofficial High School motto in the late sixties early seventies. Glenbard east Lombard Illinois.
Not sure how I missed this video but thankfully it popped in my recommended so I can watch. 👍👍
Good to see a tractor related project. We have a dividing head and that is 40 turns for one revolution. We spent some time understanding how to use it but we have not had a need to use it and have forgotton everything that was learned. I think we need a DRO, it seems to help a lot
That little part has a lot of things going on. I am glad that you were able to help the guy out.
Thanks for sharing.
the machining content is great but the Bubbles t-shirt really put this one over the top!
gott'er give it to you you keep a tidy shop and from looks before starting a new job you start with a clean work area this has been my moto and works for me and looks like it works for you as you don't mix jobs up by putting wrong part with wrong job got some tips off you some i knew but ha dent used in quite some time others i was just amassed at the simplicity of it makes one wonder why i did not think of it before thanks mate Cheers
That was the smallest item I have seen you work on. I'm surprised you didn't need magnifying lenses to see it. LOL!!!
I just found your channel and have enjoyed seeing you work on these massive rollers, cylinders, band saw wheels etc.
I've been sharing your vids with others who also appreciate your work. I hope you will continue making them, two years latter they are still getting views.
Thanks for that.
Thank you. I'll keep going as long as I can. I've got a few more surprises in store for this year's videos.
I look forward to them.
Thanks 👍
Nice job, thanks for sharing.
Another great video. I enjoy your work as well as your charisma!
Thank you for sharing. Learning as we go is what life is about.
Happy machining and don't forget everyone:
God Bless.

Are you quite tall as the Bridge port looks small to you?
I started my time on a Bridgeport mill lovely machines
Thanks for sharing
Good job. Thanks😊
Have you tried the 1/2 function on the DRO? zero on one side of part, detect the opposite side and use the 1/2 function, it averages the errors of edge finding and the center is 0 on the DRO.
Interesting that you back off the edge indicator. Never was taught that way. Is it more accurate to back it off to the "centered" position than try to duplicate the edge when it offsets two or three times? My 1979 Accurite only reads to .0005, not .0001, so I can't really tell. Would like to learn the best method even though I'm 76. You're never too old to learn. I hate to ask, but I just bought an Ellis dividing head of 1955 vintage that's in really good shape. Full of swarf, but I took it apart & am cleaning it. It is missing the wave washer for the sector arms. Got any knowledge of where to get one? Tried the internet, but no luck. If you can help please give a heads up in the right direction. Been a hobby machinist my whole life & really enjoy your vids. Always willing to learn & I enjoy making things to within .0005. Thanks.
A few years back I had some free time and played with the edge finder. The way I did it seams to work for me. I might be wrong, but as long as the parts are good, who cares. There are a million ways to do everything.
Nice find on the Ellis head. I'd try MSC or McMaster Carr. Other than them, I'd have to search myself or try to make one.
The original part had the slit in the center of one of the flats, the replacement you made the slit was considerably off center on the flat. Will it draw down ok?
Yes
details, speeds and dimensions and tools etc. make your vids good.
Thanks. I have a few more videos uploaded for release, then it will be new camera and content. I will work on adding all that information as well.
How do you bid jobs like that?
Jobs like this are just do it and figure out the bill at the end. Since I .the only shop within an hour in any direction, I get a lot of jobs like this. I'm always fair on pricing.
@@TopperMachineLLC i try to do that but some want to know how much upfront
