The Tool Bear from Den of Tools channel contacted engineers from some tool companies and they told him that backing the chuck up a click does NOT lock it in. It takes it out of the notch and will let it eventually loosen up as you use it. AVE also did a video on it and he said the same thing. Just a heads up.
One of the YTers who made this claim (the one featured in AvE's video) has also published a correction/retraction video: czcams.com/video/yH11SnnbS84/video.html In his defense, he tried to do his due diligence and many of the tool mfr reps actually confirmed the claim. For this latest video he contacted the *chuck* manufacturers, who were responsive and quite definitively set the record straight.
Screams in Katz-Moses, lol. I was considering getting another one of his stop blocks to make it easy to work with some projects, but having a "second" no-feflection block that reuses something I already have, is even better. So glad I bought the 1-2-3 blocks with holes in them, vs. the solid ones, now.
I have two 1-2-3's but no holes. Your video gave me the idea of just clamping one with a clamp (in any direction), and thus not worrying about the height of my fence. Also if any worry about slipping, could glue a bit of friction tape to both pieces. Every time I watch a video I learn something, even if it's not to make an exact replicate. Love the channel!
jusst made 3 of these only i made mine out of oak used my 123 block as a blank and just drilled my holes that way. you sir are a true inspiration WERE NOT WORTHY WERE NOT WORTHY love the channel cant wait to see what exciting tips you come up with for my work shop next . you friend in Spokane Washington James
Love this idea. Great use of a 123 block! One note, if I were making a fence with brigs as my intended block, I’d make it 3- 1/8” tall. Give the sawdust somewhere to go under. Love your stuff, Matt
That is a great, great design: effective, simple to make, modest cost and very robust. And besides that, the assembly is even fairly good-looking. Thanks, man!
Locking chuck hahahaha. It’s a pawl… the click back is the part moving back even though the pawl stays it doesn’t have the advance backing up the pawl anymore.
Have you thought about using a piece of wood instead of the 1-2-3 block? This way you can make it longer to fit any fence. Just a thought. Enjoy your channel!!
Great Idea, if you find these 1-2-3 machinist blocks helpful around the shop, try the 2-4-6 version also. They work great for stop blocks on the drill press and large belt-disc sanders. Great channel.
With the 1-2-3 block which you are using, you are not limited by the 3" depth. You have plenty of other holes to use. You can mount a face plate to the right (as looking down as it is mounted). Come through the left using two of the holes to secure the face plate. Use a 1/4" thick piece, cut to 1" x ? whatever length (depth) you need. Drill and tap the 1/4" to receive the mounting bolts. Cut the mounting bolts flush. The aluminum stock can be cut using woodworking tools. Just go slow. So, the final face plate (facing the work piece to be cut) would be 1/4" x 1" x ? desired length (depth) to fit your fence. Drill and tap at least four (4) holes in the face plate, you can have some up and down adjustability👍😎😀
Could you not just use a hardwood block instead of the metal block? Or a wood block with a piece of laminate to stop it wearing? Cheaper than a 123 block.. 👍🏴🇬🇧
@@731Woodworks A manual is usually a kind of booklet that you hold in your hand, read it, and then try to flip the content to your head. As our heads are already full (of sawdust) we don't even try to read it. In the best case we put it aside, in the worst case it's ending up as a fire starter for our wood stove.
Decent concept, but the 1-2-3 block seems totally superfluous...just use two pieces of wood and the same hardware...If you have a 1-2-3 you could use it as a template/drill guide, but why not just use wood on both sides.
if you instead used the block of wood as the stop with the 1-2-3 on the outside of the sled then you don't need to worry about the fence height as you can cut the block to be as tall as your fence instead. Also, the drill chuck locking thing was debunked.
@@731Woodworks Not turning it back would also work on yours. Sorry bro. Love the 1-2-3 block stop block, but the chuck thing is thoroughly debunked internet BS. Turning back just loosens the chuck 1 click. It's fine providing you initially tightened the chuck enough that loosening it 1 click doesn't affect the tension enough for the chuck to lose grip. Tighten it just enough to grip the bit then turn it back and see what happens. Loosening cannot improve retention.
Regarding the drill chuck trick, check out this video from AvE...apparently that's not a feature and doesn't do anything. czcams.com/video/8ztB1C7dERc/video.html - Love the videos, keep 'em coming!
I hope we get a correction video. Internet BS is a major epidemic. BS usually starts with.. “Too good to be true” or “here’s what manufacturers don’t want you to know”
You can. Cutting the bolts allows you to size it to your specific fence size. And, this allows you to cut the threads off the outer two bolts and just have the smooth part.
Turning back the chuck does NOT lock it, you are releasing any backlash in the chuck and encouraging it to shake loose - if this was a feature they would publicise it
Great idea. Thanks for sharing. In fact a little bit too late for me. I've just received my first T-tracks ever a few days ago. (10 USD for 4 feet length, without holes for mounting), The one-two-three blocks are interesting as well. I watched the video on that. Reasonably priced, but far away. Shipping probably would cost more. I need to look around if something similar is available in Slovakia as well. I'll keep this system in mind.
Nice! Btw, if you want to keep a cheap angle grinder on hand with a cutoff wheel ready to go, that Bauer Harbor Freight sells is a lot nicer than the price would suggest. Good grip, good trigger, & well made for +/- $35

It is not a feature on any tools, only a misunderstanding. Den of Tools did a video debunking this after talking to engineers at different tool manufactures and Jacobs Chucks.
Hey Matt, I'm trying to start a page for woodworking project sales, would you mind if I used your stock photos for tables and such until I build some myself? Just to give customers an idea.
That "feature" has been already been debunked as false. "AvE" has already done a video on it pulling out the original patents on the locking mechanism.

Power Tip! If your 1-2-3 blocks are threaded on the 1" face... you can thread a bolt through the stop and now you have a micro adjuster.

I cut a lot of bolts.. Dremel with the metal cutting discs, works really well
Thanks, Going to try with my saw's (Ryobi 10") current metal fence.
What a great little helper for a variety of uses. Thank you for making and sharing this!
Not a lock feature and Milwaukee does not acknowledge it as such. Good application of the 123.

I think the idea is that you can be far more abusive to the 1-2-3 block than you would otherwise be able to do with a piece of wood.
That sander going up and down cracked me up, idk why but it's just hilarious the way it moves
Moving the drill chuck back one click does nothing.
it clicks lol
I recognize that using the 1-2-3 block is easy if you have one, but could you just as easily use something else? Another piece of wood?
Great Idea, if you find these 1-2-3 machinist blocks helpful around the shop, try the 2-4-6 version also. They work great for stop blocks on the drill press and large belt-disc sanders. Great channel.

That should help everyone! I know I will make one at least maybe two so they can cover two dimensions without multiple setups!
Could you just attach the block with a fence clamp or two?
Great idea! Seems like tou could make this with two blocks of wood also, Right?
Manufactures have stated that the “turning” of chucks does nothing. It may even loosen it.
Isn't this basically just an improvised clamp? Why not just use a clamp, the small ones are super cheap.

Any reason NOT to have both parts made from wood?

Turning the chuck counterclockwise does NOT lock the bit in FIY. Awesome stop block!
Cool!

It’s in the comments I’m sure. Drill chuck trick is false. See AVE channel for debunking

Very interesting
super easy, barely an inconvenience 😄
Not everyone will get this reference but thumbs up for it
what ridgid doesn't do it? My hammer drill (rarely use hammer option these days) clicks to the right and it's at least 12years old.
