Almost two years ago I searched out videos that had shops for tips on building my own but I keep coming back here because I have found the machining process very entertaining and interesting. My wife doesn't get it but she doesn't get the three stooges either. lol
Nice work Tom. Great tips on the end roughing and pocketing.
Thanks for doing what you do. We Have a new kid in the shop for mechanical assembly and light fabrication and told him to buy your book very good read.
Hi Tom, This seems to be a very good project. Good ideas on the built. That end mill could win a race against the good horses. Thanks for the video.
Good stuff Tom you make it look so easy i enjoy watching you work even the BOZs
and then to see how you fix them good work
Nicely done buddy boy! You got some great shots of the milling and pocketing. Don't ya just love those hog mills? They are the shit! Good tip with the machinist jack use. Talk to ya soon, and hope you and Mrs Ox have a good 4'th weekend!
Adam
Abom79 Hey Adam,
Gotta love the hog. Whether in the mill or the bbq its my favorite. Thanks for stopping by.
Talk to you soon man.
Tom
Hi Tom !
Oh, a nice heavy duty project and I love to see you working on it ... so carm, secure and "knowing how to" ... just greate !
Thanks for the video Tom. Nicely done.
Excellent video as always.
First time I recall the air compressor running on an actual project, makes you wonder why you waited so long to get the perfect one. :)
It is good to see all the etch a sketch practice paid off.
Scott
Happy Independence Day, & Thanks for another great video. Loved the tips, & there's something so unexplainably satisfying about watching your carbide endmill smoothly rip through those pockets like butter. Magnificent shots.
Robert Ross You'd be also surprised on how plain old HSS does to... Not as fast but less brittle mostly on machines with less than rigid stature, get your chip load calculator and try optimizing your work, you'll be amazed at what your machine can do. ;-)
That's some aggressive manual machining Tom, I love it!!!
Pocket and frame milling don't get covered very often on YT, great tips and nice camera work.
Enjoyed dat!

Cool series Tom thanks
That fine rougher is awesome! Thanks for the tip.
Tom,
Thanks for sharing you time and many talents...
Sorry to hear about you busted Johnson.
Chuck
great informative video Tom! thank you
Really nice work! Enjoyed the whole video.
A perfect description, Illustration and execution. Also as described by others camera angles could have not been more precise. I enjoy viewing you videos (even though I'm about 3 months behind due to work schedule)! :)
Best,
Tony
+Tony Diaz Hey Tony,
Thanks for the nice comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Nice work Tom!
very good mrs ox
Looks just like cnc! I am all manual and now that is started to be frowned upon!!!
fun build Tom.
very nice
thanks for the video.
Richard
Great video, as always. Thanks for sharing.
Cool tools and masterful use of them. Thanks for sharing
Happy 4th
Cuts like butta! Yer gonna be able to lift some heavy toes soon enough! Thanks for sharing like always!!
exelente maestro
tom nice work great part. 1
oxtoolco Hi Tom, that Enerpac base you got looks pretty good. I am sure you will be quite happy with the end product, I know mine has been a real labor saver.
James Kilroy Hey James,
This thing weighs a ton. I need wheels for it. Thanks for stopping by.
Best,
Tom
Hi Tom
Realy like this video :D
This roughning endmill is very nice.
Nice to watch !! keep the video's coming...
Great video as usual. I guess every large shop needs a toe jack. Thanks for the video.
AWESOME work tom ! On to part to for me ..
Cuts like butter. Nice
Perfect milling shots! Have you tried using a strong magnet for removing the plugs from the rotabroach cutter?
Best regards from Denmark
Mads
You are one lucky dog! I would have broken the cutter for sure in the same set up!!!
Hi Stephen,
Sometimes your the bird and sometimes your the worm. I lucked out. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Hey Tom,
Thanks for your video on your jack for lifting toes. (What else would a "toe jack" lift?) Some pretty clever machining. You should become a seamstress. You make a mean pocket! I've never had the weasel snot scared our of me. With me, it's something that's more brown in color and has an obnoxious odor! Thanks for your sharing of your vast knowledge. I guess that's why you are the Grand Pubah Ox!
Have a good one!
Oxen Dave
‘Tom’ “Happy fourth of July” to you and yours’; have a burger and a beer for me. Yet another outstanding vlog! As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~
Hi mate.
Strange, how watching someone using a mill is so fascinating. I'm still in the hunt for a mill, and cant wait to do something simular. Just to have a play.
Marcel.
Marcel Timmers You're coming into an expansive but facinating hobby, come on join the bunch... :-))
pierre beaudry Hey Pierre,
You hit the nail on the head. Fascinating but expensive. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Hi Tom, Thanks for the videos of the toe jack build; perfect timing. I have an OTC ram and hand pump that may also work for a homemade machinery jack. Are the flat bars you cut the key holes and pockets in cold roll or an alloy? Great Job Tom! Thanks, Harvey from Nebraska
binks166 Hi Harvey,
Just plain old cold rolled steel. 1/2 thick. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
i put a foot pedal control on our mister/coolant,,,,,, very helpful
Manual CNC work there. Great job love your work.
+brettwatty101 Hey Brett,
Human CNC. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Hi Tom,
Great video again. Fascinating to see milling so close. In the video you place 2 support jacks on the inside. Is there an official name for these jacks?
Thanks and best regards, Ritchie
Chippie Hi chippie,
I think they are called planer jacks or machinist jacks. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Per usual, a great video. Looking forward to rest of series.
Question, most rectangular tubing has one side with a welded seam. Is this the side you lopped off, or does it matter?
Morris Gallo Hi Morris,
Yes I clipped out the side with the weld. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Hi Tom, great heavier work, this endmill is scooting along nicely...
Did you have to re-workout the size of the rest of the channel after opening it...?
Cheers, Pierre
pierre beaudry Hi Pierre,
Everything is at 4.00 inches. Just squeezed it back into submission. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Nice. those roughing end mills really cut like a knife through butter. When you cut the tube why did the plate warp? Was it because of the way it was made? Great video , your are a excellent teacher Tom. Thanks Dave
David Aarons Hi Dave,
The tube has stresses in it from when it was formed and welded. When you open it up it releases some of the stress. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Hey Tom, Great video and tips on using "chicken jacks". Have a wonderful and save 4th of July.

I have learned to keep a conversion chart handy for my youtube channels as most are from the states or England and without being rude most are of an age when metric was not being intraduced "although I would have thought Adam being a little younger than than me by 5 years i was living in the states around 1984 and was using metric while i was there." But i am used to a quick glance at the chart for the fractions mainly as plain inches i can remember fine.
***** It is all about what you are used to. All of my machines are old and as such are strictly indicated in imperial. If your micrometers, dial indicators, and machinery all indicate in imperial that is the easiest to use, trying to convert everything to metric just leads to errors.
but I will make my parts to metric all I was meaning is that Tom tries to give out metric sizes as he give the info on the measurements and I am glad for that but my chart ls handy to give me a perspective as to what size of part is currently being shown in the video, I am sorry if I did not make myself clear its just so I know the ruff layout being done on the vid, Tom is kind to say the metric 99% of the time and I really appreciate it.
***** Not growing up with metric.
Metric doesn't really relate visually. That's why I have a hard time . Imperial 1 foot and I can look down and see a foot.
How does one say 3 fingers of Scotch in metric?
I can understand that as my foot is 1st 1/2 " but did you know 1 metric kg was the first weight to be used to setup imperial and that 10 mm was around since Leanardo Davinci.
***** In Canada, for a while now, they've being teaching metric to lower grade students up to high school, but, at least as far as I know, in Province of Quebec trade school or machining school it's Imperial measures... The younger ones have to unlearn metric to get into imperial measures, what an irony... ;-)
Nice vid Tom as usual.
Was the toe jack project introduced in another vid? Seema like I walked into the middle of the discussion.
Link to first vid of this (drawing and such)?
davecc0000 Hi Dave,
I think I announced the project in a meatloaf episode where I showed the sketch. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Its actually beneficial to have a certain level of stress built up in tube sections like that right? I guess it gives them strength sort of like a prince Rupert drop but obviously less extreme?
***** Hey Max,
Not sure about that. All I know is most of the time when you section tubes they do weird stuff. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
"Wiesel snot" made my day haha
Hey Oxer, I've been taught that climb milling is a no-no that isn't worth it on manual machines, but I noticed you blasted through that pocket with it.
Is it not that big of a deal, or were there other reasons for it?
Everett Wilson Hi Everett,
With small diameter tools you can do it on manual machines. Its gets tricky as the tool size goes up. Hard to determine the tipping point for a particular setup. This is why it takes so long to learn some of these things. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
Why did you climb mill the islands in the pockets?
Yan Wo Hi Wan,
Because its more efficient than conventional. With small tools you can do it on manual machines. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
can se the OSHA sign now. " NO DANGLING JOHNSONS IN THIS AREA"
Hey Tom you said the ruffing end mill suited lower hp machines, at what range do you mean low as my drill press setup as a mill is 6hp is it to low or will it handle it just dont force the cut.
***** Your using a drill press to mill ?
That is a terrible idea, they are not built for the horizontal forces that milling will put out.
Yep with a multi axis vice, a standard 2 axis vice with another vice setup to allow it to move through an arc.
Chris Shaw i dont require the tolerance needed for some of the work Tom and Adam do but my jobs are small and are for myself mostly. I will be doing some alloy work for wheels rc but my feed rates are done by .5 mm per every 5 seconds. I have a small setup 12 inch lathe but i have done allot of work by hand before i got it.
***** My limited experience would say there is more than just the motor horse power in the equation, but also how rigid the whole setup is. I have 2HP (probably would be considered low HP), but my bench mill couldn't even transfer that much to the cut because it would vibrate like hell. I would say your 6HP itself wouldn't be low horse power unless it is on the upper end of "low", but I would say that roughing end mill would still work for you either way. I may have to look at getting a couple myself to try out.
It's nice to hear that you found a way to do what you need to now with the vice and drill.
Rock solid, the vice is held down with 4 9/16th bolts the main shaft that the motor and drill head is on a solid steel round of "3 no flex on the head either, have a look at my cars on my CZcams they are made by hand and I am finishing of a special indexable table so I can mill the angles and save some time. So you name a mag for an rc car or truck i want to put it out of stainless or aluminum.
How can you not love using a roto broach!
+Bob Ferranti Hey Bob,
You got that one right! Thanks for the comment,
Cheers,
Tom
Great video,,, thank you Tom! :o)
O,,,
Sorry to hear you broke your Johnson. It's a sad, sad day.
Doug Rundell No matter how fast one thinks they are with a punch line someone beats you. Wonder if he can heal his Johnson with some chips and duct tape....
Doug Rundell "Since my Johnson broke... " (at 1:32). My deepest sympathy. Shouldn't let stuff dangle around rotating machinery -- long hair, shirt sleeves,
etc. Remember to roll it up, tie or cut it back in the future. Maybe the government could force manufacturers to include a safety warning about this in the manual.
Hey Tom you said Oh shit LOL
Does Mr bozo know ?
William Nebergall Hey Bill,
I already put a quarter in the cuss jar. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers,
Tom
boy did u open a bucket of worms about ur broken Johnson
