  • This video shows a great method for holding and boring out extremely thin shims. When I say thin, I mean as thin as .001 thick. This proven method delivers exceptional results without distorting the OD of the material. Take a look.

    Clever workholding is the difference between making a profit and losing your ass on a job. Another "hell yes I'm gonna use that" page in the book of Joe Pi tricks. Thanks, mate!

    Looking at all of your videos, I'd say you are teaching us how to think, not just how to machine. Thanks!

    Even if I never use this trick the way you work up methods like this aids us all to think outside the box and approach things in a different manner. Another superb video.

    brilliant as always ,I see you used a small bit to cut down on the forces applied to the part and went in slowly to cut down on warping ,now that's outstanding work and out of the box thinking that we all need to see and understand thanks for taking the time to show us.

  • @paulmanson253
    @paulmanson253 Před 6 lety +1

    Well now. A genuinely elegant and relatively simple setup that clearly works. My own background as a git-er-dun truck mechanic in a general duty repair shop absolutely does not require the same degree of precision as a machinist automatically thinks in,based on his training and approach . My own thought would have been to walk over to the bench with all our soldering doodads,actually tin with 95/5,then probably 30/70 on top for better strength. Solder the parts together with our old kerosene blowtorch,solder properly applied has great holding force,cut the now cylinder to appropriate diameters,then unsolder and so what the washers are a little thicker,the tin etc will help hold a nut from vibration. Now that will NOT work on aluminum tinfoil,but sheets of different thicknesses are generally available from truck brake supply houses so unless aluminum is a known requirement,doneskis. Shim stock is incredibly useful in a whole host of applications,so various remainders are sorted through to choose from. Yours is I think a better approach,no major heat and may very well take less time than my approach.
    No doubt there are other ways to the same end product,precision tools like a lathe are a luxury in my world but possibly one of the old brake drum lathes could be adapted. Whatever works. Cheers.

    Joe, I really enjoy your videos. More importantly your ideas are just outstanding, including this one! Thanks for the information. Just a note, I have switched to a left handed threading tool, mounted it up side down, reversed the direction of spin on the lathe, and run my threading from left to right. Another great idea I picked up from your video. Thanks!

    Hi Joe, on one of your earlier videos I just watched you asked those who comment to let you know where we are from. I am from the State of Queensland in Australia. Machining is a hobby. (I have completed a lathe course part-time - two evening a week over two years, as well as other mechanical oriented courses to enable me to get the most out of my gear. So I find your topics really helpful. You also asked if you should include the mathematical calculations behind the techniques you are showing. For me, yes please. The mathematics adds to the richness of the topic and for me (as I once worked in calculations and computing) I can more quickly see where you are going on the topic. Very pleased I found your channel. Thankyou (Your firm does some very interesting and highly technical quality work).
