- One of our viewers owns a Clausing milling machine that was missing a nut that goes onto the top of the drawbar so he sent me the drawing that Clausing provided and we duplicated it for him.

I was a draughtsman for years back in the 70’s loved doing this kind of detail drawings for manufacturing. Happy days.
This is the exact soothing thing I need after a 10 hour shift, never stop these awesome videos Adam!
This is going to make me sound pretty old... but I am pretty old.
For those starting out in the trade, you should pay close attention to all the small details of what Adam is doing. He is showing us a lot more than he is describing.
For example, his choice to use calipers for the initial measurements, then switching to mic's when the measurements are more critical.
Choosing the "dark" cutting oil (high sulfur content) when parting, reminds us that cutting-off can be tricky, and can use all the help we can give it.
Learn from Adams habits, they are good habits.
A few years ago I called Rockwell/Delta and asked if they could send me some blue prints of some parts I needed to make for their 10" lathe and their mill. They haven't made them in about 40-50 years. They said fine... so I gave them the part numbers and they scanned in and emailed me the original working drawings for the parts I needed. In 20 minutes it was in my Inbox. The drawings had all the correct criteria and tolerances, material type, heat treating (if any), All the information a machinist needs to make the part. I doubt most companies will do that but I wrote them a letter saying they have a customer for life for the tools they still make. It's good PR and not like you are competing with them. Not like their is any product liability either... they didn't make the part and therefore it's on the maker. Some of their dimensions were also in fractional units. Other cool thing is the table of revisions on the drawing. One could see how the specs of the part changed over time. Some of the parts were originally drawn in the early 1950s and the last revision was early 1970s. Cool stuff.
Same delta as delta woodworking tools?
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 yes... sort of. They now have everything made in Taiwan. Except for a couple of bench grinders and a drill press they don't make anything suitable for metal anymore 😞 wikipedia has a pretty good page on Delta Machinery. Also check the external link at the bottom of the wikipedia page for the current company and the other link to vintagemachinery that has a huge collection of manuals and literature and history of the company.
@@utidjian sad
@@utidjian I remember when delta made good tools
Clausing does the same, only if the part is out of stock.
It is for the top of the drawbar, it screws on and is locked in place by the grub screws it’s used to hand tighten the draw bar in place.
@Adam, your work speaks to many of us old souls stuck in new aged work. It brings peace and comfort simply watching you do what so many of us wish we could. Thank you.
And not only is it great to watch a true craftsman at work, buy that experienced is enhanced because he so obviously enjoys what he does.
I can't remember who said it but it was something like....do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.
It was very satisfying to watch.
33:25 you had me going with the bin shot! I thought you were joking you were going to scrap it! 😂
Adam, your work is AMAZING! You are such a professional and I'm so glad you chose to share your master level crafts with me!
Definitely something ASMR about Adams videos. A journey into precision and always well-filmed.
I have an 8520 and needed this part. I finally found it among the miscellaneous tooling that came with the machine. Running the drawbar without it was a pain.
It goes on the top of the drawbar and captures the drawbar so you can tighten/loosen the drawbar captive against this part.
Just looked over the 8520 parts diagram, dated Nov 1966, from Keith Rucker's Vintage Machinery/ OWWM and couldn't find that part. I have the very similar 8530, and don't recall one on it either.
Thanks for answering Adam’s question.
I have the same mill. It is a cute little machine! I have the nut but need a new drawbar soon.
My favorite vids of yours are the one off job shop parts. That the part is for another machine tool so much the better. Best to you and Abby!
You know, young man (I’m older than God), I take a look at the work done by some totally computerized shops and yawn … they usually use a lot of yelling to build excitement. But you are a delightful breath of fresh air. Wonderful work, calm, precise and so respectful. Well done!
What a beautiful job! Adam you move around that lathe like a dancer! No lost motion!!! Such a pleasure watching you all these years...experience and elegance! Thanks ABOM
In elementary school I had the worst time with cursive handwriting. What saved me was a Mechanical Drawing class in 7th grade. I loved doing the block caps lettering. That is still my writing style almost 50 years later.
And now both of those writing styles are being lost
Old school Abom content, glad to watch it.
I'm a computer coder and totally appreciate the workmanship you do.... Wow.
He is great.
I feel the same way being a Nc programmer
Same 😂 it's the attention to detail and exactness I think
Always enjoy these smaller projects. Thank you for sharing this. Looks like the PM lathe is really putting out some quality work. Between you and the machine, the sky is the limit !
I damn appriciate the hand made blueprint. When i was in a middle school (something what will be in US called college) for 2 years we had a technical drawing class and each moth we had to make one including table section etc... it really teached me a lot about thinking ahead and patience because one error and whole drawing went into the trash and i had to start over! Keep up the awesome content you do for us, cheers from central europe!
What is your constructive purpose of your snarky college comment?
@@NotJRB Terminology of schools is very different. A ''Middle school'' means something else. More like junior college here.
@@firesurfer when I was a kid we called it: Jr High.
Junior high or middle school is used here for ages 11-13. At least in America
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 when I was kid, it was 7th grade thru 9th 12th, about 12-14 15-17 was High School. in Jr High all I had was wood shop and liked it. in HS I had a (what I considered) a REAL shop class. Sadly the lathes and mills were all sold surplus and kids are now told....well...its evil... sigh.
I’m addicted to your content. Amazing work.
You know Adam, while watching this post I was reflecting all the way back to when I first discovered your channel. Watching you and your dad interacting at the old shop and the home shop, watching your skills develop over the years, the ups and downs, you sharing the treasure of equipment, tooling, knowledge and skils of the legacy that your dad and gramps passed on to you! I am STRUCK thinking what a great gift that is and frankly, it is a gift for all of us also. Thank you for posting the GREAT content and by the way, the significance of the picture with the three of you at the end is not lost on us. I hope that pic has a permanent place in all of your future videos for as long as you decide to keep making them!
Thanks much and I hope I may make your acquaintance some day.
"We don't make these parts anymore, so make them yourself" is a very good response from the company. Many others might tell you to buy a whole new machine or even threaten you with lawyers if you hint at trying to fix it yourself.
Recovering from surgery so thanks a bunch for this very enjoyable episode. I thouraghly enjoyed! Thanks again man!
“OMG! Is that my engagement ring from Adam?” - Cryin Steve Culluns.
Excellent workanship and a fine lecture of "How To" Thank you Adam
I am a drafter for over 30 years, and I love seeing the old hand drafting! very cool!
The attention to detail is amazeballz. Keep up the good content Abom79!
I work in some old hydro plants. Parts no longer available long ago. We had a local machinist who could reproduce things at an exacting level for us. Even from our hand drawn scribbles. Unfortunately he past away. A irreplaceable team member we lost. Many items were reverse engineered and many we re-engineered with improvements for the future.
My Grandpa was a civilian technical illustrator for the US Army at Ft Sill oklahoma until he retired from Civil service as head of Ft. Sill's drafting department I'm the mid 80s. At some point he even designed a slide rule that could work in fractions.
My heart stopped at 33:26 😂 I thought the worst. Great video !!
Adam should have dropped it. The thread should be 3/8-16, not 3/4-16. The nut is scrap.
I respect another machinist when drilling it shows you care when those chips off your drill shows ITS CENTERED 👍🏾 👍🏾
two high school courses above all others which have served me well during my 80 years, math and mechanical drafting.
Excellent work Adam thanks for sharing this neat little project.
love seeing you using those lantern style Williams and Armstrong tool holders...
everything in the new shop is looking so new...I thought I was on the wrong
CZcams channel.....haha
I did so much actual drafting in my life I only write in Reinhardt lettering.
Beautiful. Howard Dotter. My 9th grade drafting teacher. Died in 91. Bless his soul.Taught me enough to get me out of the required course at West Point. Much like that drawing. Took a computer programming course instead. Now I'm a software engineer. Odd and amazing how life works.
Mr. Pool was my drafting teacher when I was in Pace High School.
@@Abom79was he a good teacher?
My 9th grade drafting was in 1965. When I was an electrical engineer, I would have draftsmen and mechanical engineers to work with. The sketching I learned in 9th grade created a lot of prototypes.
Master class. That's what you call precise craftsman ship. Making and turning a machine part never seen before, just looking at the drawings. Hats off. Job well done. Never get board of watching you. Thank you for sharing your profession.
1953? heck guy I was BORN in 1953! When I went to High School we had a class called AV "Audio Visual" where they taught us how to hold a pen and draw like these old blue prints and drawings. Some had the knack. I did not but I tried... We also had real Shop classed then. Sigh. I learned how to accurately drill and tap a gun site mount in a machine shop and forgot all that till I retired. It was good times. Well done Mr Booth
I was born in 1951. Drafting class in 1965 was pencils. Drafters I worked with used pencils until ~~ 2000 when CAD took over.
I enjoy the videos, tonight's brought back memories of my Dad, a draftsman for a local manufacturer. Thanks for the great memories.
That draft brought me back to 7th or 8th grade shop class in around 1970-71. We had to do around 25 drafts, starting with a simple box and by the last one, a fairly complex machine part, each with a front view, side view, top view, each marked with sizes and a angled view, kind of 3d view. All the details of the part printed below. I kept those old drafts until they were distroyed a few years back. It was one of the most helpful things I ever learned in public school other than reading, righting and basic math.
Dare I say Adam, your years of experience has turned you into quite the graceful machinist. Truly top notch work!
P.S.... Have you ever watched Inheritance Machining? He's very skilled and hand drafts his projects. Old school at heart.
Another amazing job. As someone in construction with no machining experience, I'm impressed how much work went into a small item. Keep up the great videos - love your channel.
When you put it over the trash can to degrease it I thought you were going to throw it away. LOL
Looks like the spindle nut . I just had to make one for my Atlas Table top. Love these little projects. Thanks for sharing.
I too enjoy the hand drawn prints. I started out as a draftsman many years ago. Led me to the industry I am in now but always remember the satisfaction of a completed print. One thing I could never master in college was taking the drawing and actually making the part. You do that part well my friend. Thanks for sharing project turned out very nice.
Adam yes mechanical drawing was challenging and fun all those years ago it was a skill well earned
I shut my eyes tight when you hold the sandpaper on the chuck :-)
Planned your work, and worked your plan. Great work and video. Thank you!
when the hand with the nut extended over the trash can, I though I was about to hear "nah, I don't like that knurl" followed by dropping it in the can. LOL
A most excellent tutorial. I served my apprenticeship in 1986 and still in the industry today. Sound advice and tips from Adam the journeyman. This is how you do it folks.
Really enjoyed the video.
Love this manual operations stuff.
Hello, at least you wanna hit the like button for any comment. I believe, This is a sign of respect for your followers.
Amazing professional work as usual sir! One day will afford to send you some work to be done on my dad wagon. Thanks for sharing with us
I took drafting and tool design in college many years ago. It's fun but pretty difficult. Nice part.
As always, beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
I'm liking, what appears to be a different format for making videos.
It shows what your doing with out the "why".
Really enjoy the machining on the manual lathe and mill videos! Thanks for sharing 👍
We're all Special Nuts around here
When in high school {early 70's} drafting class. You were expected to make perfect numbers and letters. It has come in handy a few times.
Great job Adam, always great to see a craftsman at work👍🇬🇧
That's some great close-up video! Thanks! That lathe sure sounds impressive.
Really good looking piece as always.
regarding the hand drawn drafting, thats my favorite part of the channel @inheritancemachining , his beautiful hand drawn designs
I have takin a lot of mechanical drawing classes in my early years. I now own my own machine shop. The old hand drawings read so much better than the computer drawings.
That Matthews lathe is really nice! You do beautiful work Adam! It never gets old..
That lathe is beautifully quiet
NICE ! .. BEST TO YOU AND ABBY
Credits to the company for providing the blueprints.
I’m probably the same age as you and remember drafting classes too, they were fun. I enjoyed writing in the numbers at the end, s as well.
Very nice. I am sure whomever needed that will appreciate the time and effort you put into it. The print is nicely done for sure. Got to do some drafting in high school and did ok but physically interacting with things is more my purview.
Also nice to see this type of video back. A few years ago I developed a bit of a habit of putting your machining video's on and falling asleep, LOL. It's not a bad thing though, just a comfort to hear your voice as I often watched your video's with my wife by my side, she passed away a little over 4 years ago. Have missed the basic machining stuff though it was always calming to me and helped me quite a bit.
Still tough to deal with but finally getting to a better place and hopefully I can turn that pain and a lot of others into something good.
I am always so amazed to see trapping done by machine. Having done hand tapping, it's hard to not think of any machine as something other than a drill
Nice. I'm sure the quality, function and look will match the vintage machine well.
the thread is the wrong size
Great learning project for a beginner as myself. Thank you for your professionalism.
Great little project Adam.
Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic job. Keep old equipment productive.
Love these kinds of videos from you. Thanks
Great work,Adam.Thank you.
beautiful work, thank you for sharing the process
Nice video making manual chips!
I took drafting in HS too; found out it's not for the left handed.
Great Job as always.
35:19 I'm fairly sure you wouldn't want to do _that_ heat treatment step....😯
Perfection is attainable if you put in the time and learn along the way. Adam your viewer must be ecstatic to have a crafted part to engineered specification for his once heralded machine.
Isn’t it great that Clausing provides the drawings for parts no longer in production? I’ve obtained drawings from them for my Clausing 8541 horizontal mill and from Hardinge for HLV-H lathe parts. As a trained draftsman, I especially enjoy the beauty of their hand-drawn prints. If you enjoy that kind of thing, check out “Inheritance Machining”. He does manual drawings for just about everything he builds. Enjoyed the video. Cheers from Florida’s Space Coast.
What a nice vid! Thanks for sharing.
I do 3D for a living, i took alot of technical drawing in college, Its much harder then most ppl think, even for simple parts... That line gotta be super sharp with corners and intersections to hit perfectly... Besides the technical knowledge, just the drawing aspect is much harder then it looks...
Thanks for the video. Starting to utilising that DRO a little more by the looks.
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Classic Abom great video Adam .
G'day Adam. Excellent video on the Intricate making of the Clausing Nut, which turned out better than a bought New One.
As always great video. Thanks
My granddaughter asked me why I always print in uppercase whenever I write. I told her because of drafting class and Mr. Ellis.
Nicely done!
Adam you do such great work.
Ironically, last week I was doing a lot of knurling on 1"
6061 sch 40 pipe on length of 18 inches....
.decoration for mobile bars I have been making here
in Orlando....
Best Wishes, Paul.......
Perfect !! another a bomb video I just can't get enough Adam you rock
Thank you Adam
Dang... You scared me when you was showing the trash can. I thought you was going to throw it away for some small insignificant reason. 😅
Damn I wish I could afford equipment similar to what you have. Just smaller, and not so much of it. I don't need anything that large. I could make some really cool stuff!! Unfortunately, being disabled doesn't pay very much. But it doesn't hurt to have the dream.
Thank You Adam for taking the time to share these little projects. I do appreciate the time and efforts that go into making these videos.
I am similar age to adam, in "high school" I took drafting for all 4 years, we started off at the tables and by senior year we started using the computers. This was still autocad on MS-DOS, a tiny bit behind the times (windows 95 was out by then) but autocad is autocad. Anyway I have a feeling that was near the end of that progression and I graduated in 97.
Thanks for sharing. Looks great.
Love this kind of content, thanks!
