      I actually expected it to have a mechanism similar to ball point pens for some reason. I was surprised to see how simple it was even though I have taken my own apart before. The off-centering spring is not immediately obvious!

    This is one of the first comments I have ever made on CZcams. But I needed to thank you for helping me fix my automatic center punch, that would only work 50% of the time if I was lucky. I have the same type as your cut-away version. And after watching your video I noticed that the pin, designed to come back out of the hole in the hammer portion, created an edge over time. And because of this, it would not let go of the hammer bit which would make it unusable. So I literally took two minutes to sand away the edge and it works 100% of the time now. Once again Thank you very much. You just earned a new subscriber, and I am excited to watch more of your videos.

    Great video. I have a matco tools punch that quit working years ago from internal rust. I took it apart and couldn't figure out which way the parts went. With this video, it helped me understand the principle of how it worked. I just got it back to working order. Thanks 😊

    I don't care what anybody else says but dry firing a revolver doesn't hurt a thing. A semi auto handgun is a little different but can still be dry fired occasionally with little detriment to the weapon. Keep up the good work , love these videos!

  • @ronpeck3226
    @ronpeck3226 Před 7 lety +4

    MrPete, your timing is incredible! About a week ago I was at my desk wondering what makes those punches work...Yep took it apart. Went so far as to turn one of the "Pistons" without the taper...You guessed it, didn't work...AHA! (experience). This is the third time you have done this to me! Keep up the good work! PS I always watch the ads, small price to pay considering what I get in return. Thanks again, Bushings Ron, Upland.

I also like how you refer to yourself as the CZcams shop teacher. I have many fond memories of shop and regret that today's schools don't have it any more.

    I must say thanks for this video. I have an automatic center punch and for the longest time that wasn't working properly.

    Thank you Mr. Cain for the "All I ever wanted to know about center punches" video. I had one that had quit working, I took it apart and found the hammer was in backwards. I probably had it apart for one reason or another and didn't get it back right. Thank you sir for your easy to understand illustrations.

  • @SandersAmps
    @SandersAmps Před rokem

    There is something rather deep going on here. I’m amazed that someone took the time to show me how these darn center punches worked, because I have several that don’t work properly, and now I will be able to figure them out. But more importantly, I’m amazed how much I need to hear from the voice of experience. In a world where we seem to be in such a rush all the time, it’s good to know that there is some sanity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your wisdom is a balm.

    I really enjoyed this video mrpete. Last week I acquired my first non harbor freight automatic center punch. I rusted shut Starrett. Took it all apart cleaned it up and got it working again like it did in the 40's. But I was curious on how exactly it works. Now I know thanks to my CZcams shop teacher. Thank you.

  • @Alchemetica
    @Alchemetica Před 7 lety +4

    I just stumbled across your video on the auto centre punch and I am glad I did. Your explanation on how it works was clear and concise. Plus you know how to shoot good video to make all the parts clear without half a head in the frame blocking the view and the audio and your voice is clear. Those of us from Oz had no problem in understanding what you were saying. To top it off you had obviously prepared the points (no pun intended) you would cover plus went to the trouble of making a cut away version so we may observe the interior in action. Finally I learnt something new (knowledge is always a bonus to gain) on the way the punch works. Good work - I have subscribed.

    Thanks Mr. Pete, your cut-a-way auto punch & patent drawings helped me to diagnose & fix the angled pin tip (sanded flat) & hammer hole entrance (sanded flat). Once reassembled, it worked perfectly! I litterally pulled the defective HF punch out of the metal scrap pile! 3 out of 4 HF cheapy brass models have failed to work for me. Now I can repair the others when I find them. Thank you Mr. Pete! Paul from S. Central Texas.

    At 65, I decided to take a couple of welding courses. Built 2 log splitters and sold them to supplement my social security. May have made $0.20 cents an hour so far but most importantly staying out of the wife's hair. I'm happy that I found your channel. I'm slowly learning the you tube editing process. I too bought a center punch from HF. Doesn't punch after the 4th time of successfully using it out of the packaging. I'll trade it in next time I head there. I enjoy your teachings. So much to learn and so little time. Thanks again Sir!

  • @twicebittenthasme5545
    @twicebittenthasme5545 Před 7 lety

    Took my machinist apprenticeship back before I went in the navy and as part of the apprenticeship, we had to make our own hand tools, Ballpeen hammer, wiggler, center punch, etc. I used my punch until I found out there was an automatic center punch, which I promptly purchased. It was my favorite 'toy'.
    When I got out of the service, I was offered an apprenticeship with a local construction/building firm which I accepted as the money was much better.
    I flip-flopped between the two professions for a number of years until finally deciding to stick with the carpentry end. Wood chips were measurably cooler than metal ones.
    The point of this tale: the butt hinges you mentioned are integral with any remodel job as many doors are replaced and the blank slabs are much cheaper to purchase. I used butt gauges to score the hinge side for the new hinges and I use a "center" punch for aligning the holes for the hinge mounting screws. I have several "center" drills for the strike plates and peripherals which utilize different size screws as the door size requires.
    To summarize, machinists aren't the only people with cool tools. I still rely on my machinist training for a lot of the math and the fit and finish of the final product and there are many times I would recall odd bits to make my job easier.
    I definitely enjoy watching all of your videos and look forward to the next offering!
    Thanks for sharing...
