Setbacks are just learning opportunities. Thanks for sharing with us as always. The RPM of the broach is something that seems to be left out, so it was great getting to learn that. Don't be down on yourself for not *completing* the parts.
Nice one Luke! Seriously generous guy. The composite multi-angle camera stuff is cool! Really loving that you're throwing a screencap of LinuxCNC in there as well. Things going wrong is frustrating for sure, it didn't make for an unsatisfying video though, far from it! It's good to be reminded that even folk like you are just human and have off days. It's good to see the learning that goes with it.
I appreciate it more and find myself supporting channels who willingly show footage of the totality of effort that actually went in (mistakes, failures, innovations, trial/error, partial success and ultimately the end result). I know some aren’t always interested in following along with the journey of discovery that we all do while attempting something for the very first time, so I will simply voice my heartfelt gratitude for taking the extra effort to both document and then compile the most helpful parts to make joining in the fun more engaging, easier to comprehend and ultimately relate.) Great job keep it up
Don't worry about it! It's awesome. I reckon most of us come here to see all the fails. That's what got me hooked on your channel anyways. What fun is it to see professional machinists do everything perfectly? Keep it up!
Wow Luke...a magnanimous genius. I just realized that I don't have the patients to do precision. I would just get out the grinder and eyeball those camlocks. Run the broach much slower ...redesign the broach. You are not just cutting with the broach you are also displacing the steel. Like thread forming rather than thread cutting. It requires a slightly different shape of the broach. (my opinion. I could be way off)
Awesome project! Making that little amount of scrap considering the complexity of this project isn’t at all surprising - thanks for sharing all the failure modes of manufacturing you experience - they make your channel far more educational than just watching a perfect run. Love those multi-shot edits too. What a nice mate Luke in Malta is - thanks Luke! And thank you Mark 😊
Hey Mark, can't wait to tune into your next live stream, was loads of fun! Also the video wasn't unsatisfying at all. Failing is part of the process sometimes and we're learning together.
If it was easy, anyone could do it. Hang in there Mark. This was a very enlightening video, and perfectly captures the challenges I have in my shop…. And all this time I thought it was just me 👍👍😎👍👍
THANK YOU to whoever donated me a membership on that live stream.. I'm like totally broke, so I can never afford any memberships and the like, so a HUGE thank you, and sorry I can't figure out who it was!!!!
First, a big thank you to Luke for being so generous. That's just really cool! Second, I really like the 4 panel views, like when you're grinding on the Clarkson. Thirdly, Is there any reason you couldn't backstop the part in the 4 jaw chuck by putting a bar across the face of the chuck for the piece to press against? Obviously you'd have to make sure it can't be thrown clear, so maybe a plus sign shape? Lastly, I don't find it necessary for the parts to be completed and correct to consider it a "successful" video. I enjoy watching the journey and the narrative. So no worries there, mate! (did I say that right?)
Thanks JC. Considered my lack of experience with the correct F&S using the broach ( and also the insert cut off tool), it is probably better to have the part move in the vise as a sort of fuse. I think I just ran that broach too often at too low speed and with a too small center hole, and the corners dulled a bit. The cutting force probably rose rally fast. thanks for your kind words on the video.
There's something called a Lathe Spider for that. Edge Technology produce them. They are more to keep the work parallel to the chuck, but also act as a backstop.
@@RotarySMPReminds me of the advise my dad gave me when he taught me to drive a manual transmission car. You *can* engine break every time, but brake pads are cheap and you can replace them yourself. Transmissions...less so. The fuse analogy also works well -- let the most sacrificial thing get sacrificed first if something goes screwy.
Hi, you can make a quick & dirty end stop for your lathe setup by installing a piece of bar stock into a collet in parallel with the 4 jaw lathe chuck. Face/turn the stock as required and then recess it past the 4 jaws. Cheers!
Lovely video! A cool idea from a coworker was to mount a clamp for a wet/dry vac nozzle on a Noga mag clamp. Might help with grinding dust... Many nights my shower knows of the grinding dust from my nose. Fun sentence! When I was in the USMC the genny mechs would fix everything with a Gerber and a crescent. Which is probably why nothing ever really worked that well...
unsatisfying video? dude, it's satisfying to see others I respect have problems with things, and go about fixing them. I've never been "unsatisfied" watching you go through the process. And i'd much rather see all the problems, than just a "look at us, we can machine this hugely hard thing, perfectly first time" (looking at you titans of cnc) when you KNOW they took a SHITTON of time and tools getting it "right" to film.
Thanks once again for a great video Mr SMP. I realise that the machining didn't go as planned but as a viewer it's still good to see the struggle and it may help when I come to rotary broaching. I did go and watch the live steam recording. It was hilarious seeing all the comment flying in while you're machining, manning three camera setups, the streaming software and the comments. I think you need a buddy in the shop with you on the livestream to watch the comments and change shots (Mrs SMP?). It was impressive that you did it all alone. Bravo! Really enjoying your content. Thanks again - Heather.
Check out Inheritance Machinings Video on making a D3-Camlock adapter for his rotary table. He was trying to broach the Sqare holes as well, but settled on milling them. Might be the more reasonable option. Obviously also the lamer option, but hey, from what i've heard broaching is hard. Good luck!
Fantastic work, Luke! I have been fascinated by rotary broaches since I first heard of them. Keen to see one in action, and knowing it's possible to make one ... no, no, I shouldn't.
Hey Mark! Good progress so far. Consider....instead of busting your backside to release a video each week, just release one when you've completed a project. Seems like you have a demanding work schedule. I get it. Same here. Nothing worse for me than knowing I haven't enough time to complete a project so often I just don't start one. Frustrating is an understatement. I can only imagine the frustration of running out of time and feeling you have to put a video out. Just hold off. Finish the project, then edit and release. We'll be here excitedly waiting 👍🏻.
@@RotarySMP I think that is simply down to mass manufacture expediency. All of the working surfaces are properly machined, leaving the unimportant forged surfaces alone, much like an engine crank or camshaft.
Hi Mark first , Luke what a fun new tool/finger puzzle that you sent to Mark. according to the slater tools catalog (page 34) the predrilled hole should be 1.1 X the width of the flats of a square broach (answer to the suggestion that julias-shed made) also according to slater , there should be a 45 degree lead-in chamfer slightly larger than across the diagonal.
Hi Steve, thanks a lot for looking that up. So my core hole should be about 7.8. Good to know. Roger on the chamfer and thanks for the recognition of Lukes efforts.
I made 4 camlocks, put collett chuck in 4 jaw and set offset, rinse and repeat without dialling in the 4 jaw for everytime. Countersink the hole before engaging rotary broach. I made a rotary broach but find it is only suitable for brass and aluminium and small sections in steel. I used allen bolts, built up the threads with weld and machined, no need to broach. The camlock studs on my lathe are hardened, the cams are not and they have worn in nicely giving a nice secure transition when tightening and no fear of loosening.
In steel it is getting up there, I have made 8mm hex in brass and came out nice with 8mm pilot drill. I think in your case you have to increase the pilot hole dia, not ideal. Grind a piece of HSS to 7.2 Square, short 7.2 dia lead in and press into 7.2 mm hole, I think a sturdy vise would suffice if press not available. I have had more success with this method. Good luck.
Wow, this is a rough one. When you were discussing how to recreate the cam lock I thought it looked pretty difficult, I think I was right… Shout out to Cool Hand Luke!
Hi Mark at around 13:13 (how appropriate 😀) when the parting tool got crunched ,perhaps a more purpose built tool would be in order Iscar, for example, has a whole line of what they call Groove-Turn & Parting tools .they look much more robust than parting only.
In my day job I do a fair amount of 1/2" square sockets in parts. I drill the hole 31/64" and then use a 1/8" four flute carbide endmill to machine them square in the vertical mill. It goes fast with a DRO on the mill.
Hi Jim, that is a good one :) We all laughed at the Aussie tool shadow boards with a cover of the Crescent "NCO only". Our tool boards just didn't have one :)
Yeah, it's frustrating, but there's always more to learn and failure is an accelerant. The odd failure is like lighting a fire with avgas: a bit is ok and gets things moving in the right direction, but too much and you lose your eyebrows. Or something, idk. Anyway, I enjoyed it and I learned a lot more from you than from the guys that make it look easy.
Bummer about the steep learning curve on the broaching. I have definitely had similar issues with trying new to manufacturing processes. Still enjoyed the video though. My 11 year old son liked the "nineteen eighty's montage music". Thanks for sharing Mark
If you think about it, seeing things do not always work out for others either is much more relatable than a quick set of steps resulting in a perfect part and far from unsatisfying to watch.
That's an interesting challenge. It's all about to stand up and go for it again after a fail :) And Luke contacted me as well some time ago, but became silent after.
Yay! Luke's rotary broach Rocks! Not so the cutting tool lol . I'd try grinding up a carbide one from a broken end mill to see if that works. It can only waste one evening surely? Lol
Very impressed by the rotary broach tool! When grinding in the Bowley, shouldn't you also put some damp rags over the spindle? Dust could enter the gap between the headstock and spindle which would give you a pretty bad day...
on the bright side, is all the practice with the 4 jaw... =D Also, at least with the failures you can have the confidence that you are making chips. I'm lining up a few projects to do over the winter... the hardest part for me, is understanding that I'm human, and I'm doing them as something in my free time... Hobbies don't really have deadlines... and it's more about the journey than the destination. Let yourself be human... at least that's what I keep telling myself. =D Happy Sunday!
oh gosh, you mentioned Boeing Surplus (RIP.) I acquired lots of electronics test equipment, countless materials, some shop tools and several spools of teflon wire. I miss that place. Another victim of corporate accountants. Sadly, when Boeing HQ left Seattle, they took the soul of the company with them and the rest is history -- that's when they started to screw up.
Wasn't unsatisfying at all. It's the journey we love, not the destination. I like your comment abo ut Aussies and our adjustable wrenches (shifters). I even have a left handed shifter in my collection, but nobody believes me until I show them.
I will just say that I had projects that went on for over 3 years before I finished them or refurbed the components for other projects. It's not always a sunny day, hey
Time for a a piece of HSS rod and a lot of grinding? Or, a piece of A2 or D2 drill rod/silver steel? Not sure which of those (or neither?) would make a good broach... I've made a form tool for the lathe out of A2, but, it's only been run lightly and only a couple parts... That broach strikes me as a little more abusive to the cutting edge? If it was me (and I'm not claiming to be overly bright....) I'd make 5 of them out of O1, and figure I was going to get one good hole out of each one (hopefully leaving two spares...). Just thinking out loud! I really enjoy watching your challenges as well as your successes, because they make me think, and I don't think enough with my current desk job.
I dug back through that box of cutters awaiting grinding, and found a 10mm HSS end mill, with a completely missing fluke. That will be the next victim.
That is live, shit happens. New plan or ask a friend... I had good results with a milling machine and a small end milling cutter, first drilling out the inner diameter.
Maybe you should make a backstop for the lathe spindle ? I remember using them when I had parts that I wanted to not move back in the spindle/chock at all ( since it was screwed into the back with counter clockwise threads so it only tightened itself instead of loosing)
@@RotarySMP most cam programs gives you the right speed depending on what feed pr. rotation you tell it ( a mobil app for that witch i like to use is called "cnc tools" ) and the feed pr. rotation is normally on the back side of the box the insert comes in ( there recomended max. P mean's steel and N is aluminium,brass and copper for almost every insert produser just incase you didnt knew )
It's nice that you show the things that don't go to plan. Seems to happen a lot. I wonder if that is by design? Slightly worried that you work in aviation. 😱
Someone need to invent a 4 jaw chuck with high torque micro servo motors that can rotate each jaw screw. Than you can just program the offset. And of course it needs to have encoder for position sensing. Also cheers for Luke...
It would need coolant and High G resistant electronics. The easier solution, is highly dynamic X axis server which just turns the excenter into the centered stock.
Like the content, kinda prefer what you used to do with background music in the past though. The hard guitar licks make it sound like a tool commercial where they try and make the tool sound “hard core”. It clashes with your calm, informative, and thoughtful style.
I could mount the rotary broach in a tool holder and cut it with the mill as well. So far I am pretty happy if it slips, as it is a fuse so nothing else gets broken.
First here today! Can’t wait to see how you get this done.
Hi Luke, Thank you for the gift of this fantastic rotary broach.
I struggled this week:)

Thanks for your feedback on the WIllem. I would have thought 7.2mm square broaching would be easier than this. :/
A LOT of force required and a cutter to stand up to it.
In theory it should work but in practice I haven't had success on large sections.
@@willemvantsant5105 Do you consider 7mm square as a large section? I have no sense of scale for the process.
In steel it is getting up there, I have made 8mm hex in brass and came out nice with 8mm pilot drill.
I think in your case you have to increase the pilot hole dia, not ideal.
Grind a piece of HSS to 7.2 Square, short 7.2 dia lead in and press into 7.2 mm hole, I think a sturdy vise would suffice if press not available.
I have had more success with this method.
Good luck.

There is a labrynthe seal to protect the main bearings on the Boley, but it is a good point.
on the bright side, is all the practice with the 4 jaw... =D Also, at least with the failures you can have the confidence that you are making chips. I'm lining up a few projects to do over the winter... the hardest part for me, is understanding that I'm human, and I'm doing them as something in my free time... Hobbies don't really have deadlines... and it's more about the journey than the destination. Let yourself be human... at least that's what I keep telling myself. =D Happy Sunday!
Very true! Thanks Mike.
THANK YOU LUKE!
Good one. Thanks.
Luke that’s a beautiful looking broach.
He has excellent workmanship.
Luke is AWESOME!
Thanks for your feedback Tom. He sure is.
oh gosh, you mentioned Boeing Surplus (RIP.) I acquired lots of electronics test equipment, countless materials, some shop tools and several spools of teflon wire. I miss that place. Another victim of corporate accountants. Sadly, when Boeing HQ left Seattle, they took the soul of the company with them and the rest is history -- that's when they started to screw up.
It really was the greatest shopping experience on earth ever! Only time I have ever seen a Monarch 10EE. Shame it didn't fit in my carry on :;)
Your music director needs a raise....... take it out of the swarf monkey's pay ;-)
thanks for the video.
Thanks Luke. Nice job on the broach.
Thanks for noticing. I moved from YT's free music library to a an Artlist.io subscription.
Thanks Luke!
Thanks.
Wasn't unsatisfying at all. It's the journey we love, not the destination.
I like your comment abo ut Aussies and our adjustable wrenches (shifters).
I even have a left handed shifter in my collection, but nobody believes me until I show them.
You mean like the LH screwdriver :)
@@RotarySMP ... havent seen one of those, but I legit have a left handed shifter.
It is the only one I have ever seen.
Hey Luke!!! You are the man!!! Cheers!!!
Thanks for commenting your support.
very good video RotarySMP
Thanks for commenting.
THANK YOU LUKE.
Great comment. Thanks.
I will just say that I had projects that went on for over 3 years before I finished them or refurbed the components for other projects. It's not always a sunny day, hey
True. Some go better than others.
Nice Broach Luke
Hi Matt, thanks for the kind words of appreciate for Lukes workmanship.
I am collecting the material to make the Hemingway kit rotary broach. should be a fun project.
It will be. Cool tool.
Time for a a piece of HSS rod and a lot of grinding? Or, a piece of A2 or D2 drill rod/silver steel? Not sure which of those (or neither?) would make a good broach... I've made a form tool for the lathe out of A2, but, it's only been run lightly and only a couple parts... That broach strikes me as a little more abusive to the cutting edge? If it was me (and I'm not claiming to be overly bright....) I'd make 5 of them out of O1, and figure I was going to get one good hole out of each one (hopefully leaving two spares...). Just thinking out loud! I really enjoy watching your challenges as well as your successes, because they make me think, and I don't think enough with my current desk job.
I dug back through that box of cutters awaiting grinding, and found a 10mm HSS end mill, with a completely missing fluke. That will be the next victim.
Luke (Luc?) does lovely work. 👍
He certainly does.
Awsome guy...love Luke!
He sure is.
Excellent video!
Glad you liked it!
Luke rocks!
He sure does.
Nice one Luke!
Thanks for that comment of support for Luke.
That is live, shit happens. New plan or ask a friend... I had good results with a milling machine and a small end milling cutter, first drilling out the inner diameter.
I considered that as well. Good reminder.
through adversity we find strength or the designer to swear a lot and hit something with a hammer :) enjoyed the vid thanks
Thanks for your feedback.
Good one Luke👍
Thanks for the support comment.
Love you Luke
Thanks for commenting Paul.
Love to Luke
Thanks for commenting that Alan.

Thanks for commenting.
Maybe you should make a backstop for the lathe spindle ?
I remember using them when I had parts that I wanted to not move back in the spindle/chock at all ( since it was screwed into the back with counter clockwise threads so it only tightened itself instead of loosing)
Probably a good idea, once I have the F&S dial in. As long long as I am learning, having the part slip is probably like a fuse.
@@RotarySMP most cam programs gives you the right speed depending on what feed pr. rotation you tell it ( a mobil app for that witch i like to use is called "cnc tools" ) and the feed pr. rotation is normally on the back side of the box the insert comes in ( there recomended max. P mean's steel and N is aluminium,brass and copper for almost every insert produser just incase you didnt knew )
It's nice that you show the things that don't go to plan. Seems to happen a lot. I wonder if that is by design? Slightly worried that you work in aviation. 😱
It is mostly driven my desire to to a video most weeks. I know if start waiting for everything to be perfect i will probably never do another video.
Someone need to invent a 4 jaw chuck with high torque micro servo motors that can rotate each jaw screw. Than you can just program the offset. And of course it needs to have encoder for position sensing. Also cheers for Luke...
It would need coolant and High G resistant electronics. The easier solution, is highly dynamic X axis server which just turns the excenter into the centered stock.
G’Day Mark, how did I fail to see that rotary broach while at your shop? 🤔 For sure I’d have been awestruck by Luke’s fine craftsmanship! 👍
Maybe I was hiding some of my secrets :)
More likely it was just covered with mess on my desk, with all the junk needed for the live stream setup .
Like the content, kinda prefer what you used to do with background music in the past though. The hard guitar licks make it sound like a tool commercial where they try and make the tool sound “hard core”. It clashes with your calm, informative, and thoughtful style.
Thanks for your feedback on that Andrew. I switched from the YT music library to Artlist.io, and am a little overwhelmed with choice :)
Agree 100%!!!
@@RotarySMPThis music? 👎👎👎
could you not put a parallel or similar behind your piece in the lathe chuck to stop it being pushed back?
Hi Dan, I could, but the slippage is probably a good fuse when the cutting forces get too excessive due to blunt cutting edges.

20 goto 10
Thanks. He is a champ!
Knowing where the cutter should be on the broach, would you make a shoulder on future tools?
On the next one no, as I found a 10mm end mill, with a ruined fluke which will work, but yes, it is a good idea if I need another silver steel tool.
Why not do the cut on the mill so that it doesn't slide. Drill press? Would it work?
I could mount the rotary broach in a tool holder and cut it with the mill as well. So far I am pretty happy if it slips, as it is a fuse so nothing else gets broken.
wait, couldn't you have cut this whole part on the cnc lathe at once (then harden/grind)?
I don't have a third axis or active tooling to cut the stud clearance.
Mark, 75Sqn trip to Australia, was that to Townsville in the early 80’s by any chance?
Must have been 90, or early 91. To the F-18 base a couple of hours north of Sydney Is that Amberly?...
... just looked it up, it was Williamstown.
