  • In this video I build the arm of the magnetic indicator base, and an alternative fine adjustment that works based on differences in resistance to bending. The resistance to bending increases with the third power of the height of the cross-section, and I use that principle here for better fine adjustment.
    No music this time, too much text.
    Enjoy!

    As always Michel, top notch craftsmanship. At the risk of repeating myself, there is something to be admired about a machinist or craftsman who builds his own tools. Well done sir

    nicest fine adjust I have ever seen !!!!

    Amai, als hobbyist zal ik hoogstwaarschijnlijk nooit dit doort gereedschappen kunnen maken. Ik ben echt onder de indruk👍👍👍👍👍

      Met het juiste gereedschap moet je heel ver kunnen komen hoor. En natuurlijk kost het bakken tijd 😂

    I love the clockwork precision you achieve and how you make tools even better.
    I will check out your 'how hard can it be' playlist next.
    Thank you for bringing us these high quality work to amaze us.
    👍💪✌

    Wow, what a nice build. Thank you for showing the drawings. I will try to replicate the design.
    I found this channel last week but I'm watching them all

    Very inspiring. I was looking to purchase s new one, but now I just might have to make it instead. Well done.

    Great build and an inspiring level of craftmanship. Would have loved to see a little more of the making ans assembly of the ball joints, did not quite understand how they work and are made to work in a precize way.
    Looking forward to see more of your projets. Will go see the hardness tester video right away!

    I wonder if you could improve performance using 3d printed bars for the indicator arm by using strong patterns with hollows to reduce weight of the arms.

    • @Michel-Uphoff
      @Michel-Uphoff  Před měsícem +2

      I don't think 3d printed hardenable steel is in the reach of a home shop like I have. In addition, it will certainly not be more accurate, and the weight of the solid bars is actually not a problem.

    Excellent work. Always enjoy exceptional attention to detail on projects. Is there a chance you plan to release drawings? Thank you! All the best.

    • @Michel-Uphoff
      @Michel-Uphoff  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Real drawings are not available. But I think the sketches in the video should provide enough information for your own project.

    I like the flexture fine adjust, great job once again Michel.
    How did you keep the scaling under control in the heat treating phase? more specifically when you heat the parts up for quenching.
    how did the heat treat affect the overall dimensions and surface finish?

    • @Michel-Uphoff
      @Michel-Uphoff  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Thank you Victor.
      Nowadays I harden the small parts in that small but handy and precise electric oven you see in the video. I put them in that canister with the tight-fitting lid. Virtually no oxygen passes this way. I am very satisfied with that, almost no scale. That is, on the inside of the canister. On the outside of it, an ever-thickening crust of rock-hard flaky oxides grows. But such a canister is easy to replace when the wall gets too thin.
      [edit] Just measured the wall thickness for fun, and it only lost 0.1 mm of 2 mm in 8 or so cycles, so I can use it longer than expected.

  • @bmalovic
    @bmalovic Před 3 měsíci +2

    Was this tempering necessary, and even benefitiary?
    This is just 0.5mm of surface, and I doubth this parts will ever have impact stress, so the surface will crack.
    After all.. those linear guide shafts are at about 62HRc surface hardness if I remember whell.
    BTW.. great job

    • @Michel-Uphoff
      @Michel-Uphoff  Před 3 měsíci +1

      The case hardened parts are not tempered, only the silver steel parts. Sorry, I didn't make that clear in the video.
      The linear shafts weren't heat treated at all by me.

    • @bmalovic
      @bmalovic Před 3 měsíci +1

      @@Michel-Uphoff Of course.. but shafts are about 60-62HRc at surface.
      So.. if shafts do not have problem with britleness, so the parts you have made will not to.
      Any way.. it's clear now. 👍

    What kind of scale or load cell are they using at minute 21?
