Peter.. "If I machined these parts Correctly" Ha! Those clamps are a product worth selling, several sizes of them. Love the use of the Differential Screw to increase the clamping force and the alu-bronze to reduce friction and eliminate galling. Nice, thanks again Peter.
...machined correctly. As he measures them to less than a half a thou... Peter, as always, another great story telling vid! Love 'em! T H A N K Y O U. 'nough said.
I use those generic toe clamps quite a bit and never thought of taking the time to improve them. Well done. A note to those that do you use them and have issues with galling. Tap them with a hammer as you tighten them. The hammer forces it down and clamps and the screw just holds it. This reduces the friction.
they'd probably be expensive, but they would also sell themselves... i mean the ones he used was kind of a one time use and im sure they wasnt for free.
I mean yes that’s all very nice but let’s keep in mind his hourly rate and how many hours he spent designing and manufacturing these. Wouldn’t be surprised if this set were to be sold it would cost thousands of dollars
@@dandeflavis7004 absolutely, a tool that saves time and headaches can be worth its weight in gold. Peter is obviously having a great time making these and he’ll put them to good use. My point was that comparing the new clamps to the ones they will replace is just not fair at all. The cost is off by x10 or x20 even, of course they are going to be better.
That machine is mesmerizing. I could watch that thing make parts all day and still be amazed. Especially fun watching it mill a flat side in polar coordinates.
Amazing talent - just goes ahead and makes 1000 times better holding clamps than what’s commercially available - someone is going to steal this design - this is without a doubt the most talented all round Machinist in the USA - if you disagree name his better.
@@EdgePrecision I would defer to your greater experience and although Robin is amazing in his own right he does not have your span, I’ve been following you from the start, you are a master at CNC, I assume you would kill on manual machines, and for goodness sakes, blacksmithing, I nominate you for most accomplished across the metal working range.
Those are some fancy and unique clamps Peter! I love them . I doubt anybody else has a set equivalent. You've got a great mind for designing mechanical devices and watching a project like this come together is a gift. Thank you.
What an awesome job in this project. It shows such detail and the thought process behind the design the making of it. Thank you for showing this project.
Like the overdub of the face milling sound at the end. Really watchable - was glued from beginning to end, some really good points, clamps look beautiful and as you say 1000 X better and nice 'Feel" to them that's actually helpful and useful. Super Vid ! Thanks for making this.
Yes we need better clamps - I'll just show you how to make some in your home shop!!! FAR beyond my expertise but you explain it so well. I wasn't sure why you milled part of the thread out until you assembled the shoulder bolts. (understand it now) Thank you and God Bless.
The nearest thing I have to these are made by a German company callled LENZKES. Nice jobs, but not as low profile as yours. Nice job. I think they would sell well too.
Those are awesome clamps , I might try make some for jobs we do at work. Sometimes we machine the stainless ‘gates’ of knife gate valves , some are 700mm x 1200mm and clamps like those would work perfect!💪
Peter, you should put few cameras in your shop to film 24/7 like a reallity show.. I would watch it day and night.. Everything you do is pure perfection..
So I have a question, Why do I like Peter's Mazak videos so much? I am not a CNC guy and really don't have a big interest in it for the things I do.(I do recognize the importance and need for it and fully embrace that) I do not care to watch much CNC stuff on You Tube. However I find the Mazak videos that Peter posts fascinating beyond explanation. I think this machine is cool as hell. Perhaps it's Peter's presentation, knowledge and the way he uses the machine to what I assume to be it's fullest potential? Perhaps it's his imagination coupled with that experience. I have no idea. However I do know I enjoy his videos very much. Cheers
As always Peter your mind is a beutiful thing 😀 very clever design and your attention to detail is second to non. Me: linked Peter on instagram with some awesome amf side clamps. Peter: better design and make My own perfect side toe clamps. 👌👍👍 Awesome work Peter And Thanks for showing the process.
beautiful.. u can even make it for different inserts so u can put in bigger or smaller sized clamp footprints.. not sure if it ever would be needed, but u could.
I would have a lot of uses for those clamps. I also have a good supply of Uddeholm Vanadis 4 tool steel. Hmm ... Those look really nice and I can also imagine how they give feedback when tightening. They definitely look better than Your file handles. Ball handles and some epoxy putty could make miracles with those.
Wow I love those clamps! See I use the clamps you dont like and I agree with you 100 percent ! I use never seize on the set screws and that gives me a little bit of a feel but not as much as those absolutely beautiful clamps you designed and made! Wow! Ya those would be nice to use! Awesome work once again! Great video as always!
Saturday morning, cup of coffee and watching another great video from Peter! Yeessss! 1. Have you thought of getting some thread files? I own several, inch and metric, work great. 2. What was the purpose of heating the Starrett O-1 in the oven @450 for an hour or so? 3. Could you use a thin piece of foam rubber in the gap, like a U-Shaped washer? May be not enough room. Would the customer at least allow you to video facing the material to thickness so you can explain the process of keeping the plate flat? That would be a great learning exercise for me, if not everyone else on the planet. Thanks again and the clamps are exceptional.
#2 was "annealing" - to make the hardened piece less brittle - and "normalising" - to remove any internal stresses created during the heat treatment process (at least that's what it's done for in other heat treatments I've watched).
Sir you videos are always Full of idea knowledge and inspiration I really thank you for your effort and your dedication . Always wait to see more . 👍👍👍👍
Those clamps are awesome. I work in fixturing and workholding and I've wondered about those clamps from Mcmaster. I've been following your progress on Instagram... i don't have the capability to machine these at work but the concept is nice. Maybe I can "crudify" it a little for some of my projects. Thanks for sharing!
Peter, those Toe Clamps look like a total winner! You should make them for the mass market. You could do quite well, I think. There's clearly a need for them! :)
Nice clamps. Guarantee you could sell the idea or parts. I have stripped the Allens or got harder Allen’s and stripped the thread out of the cla mp of so many of those other clamps. Thanks for sharing.
Peter, what are the chances that you would want to share the solid model of them clamps with me? I am using the the crappy clamps that you have right now and I can’t stand them and would love to make a set of your clamps? This is a serious question and I completely understand if you would rather not but please let me know what you think about sharing your model with me Thank you
They turned out great Peter. I think your design has more clamping force than the eccentric action on the mitee bite clamps. Plus I like the way yours clamp down on the t-slot in the tombstone rather than pushing up from the bottom of the t-slot.
Thanks Bill. I don't like t-nuts with set screws gripping on the bottom to the slot. There is less area for a grip. Also if you really tighten the it could damage the bottom of the slot over time.
Peter..
"If I machined these parts Correctly"
Ha!
Those clamps are a product worth selling, several sizes of them.
Love the use of the Differential Screw to increase the clamping force and the alu-bronze to reduce friction and eliminate galling.
Nice, thanks again Peter.
I'd buy one, and I don't even own a mill.
Ya I believe that we just witnessed a great product being born!

When Peter makes a tool , its done F-ing RIGHT!!....
Masterclass

@@user-tw9io9nz2m That's the thing with machinists, they usually have no problem spending thousands on tools to make their job easier/come out better.
@@dandeflavis7004 absolutely, a tool that saves time and headaches can be worth its weight in gold. Peter is obviously having a great time making these and he’ll put them to good use.

I think peter has more manufacturing capabilities then most small countries.
Yes
Without a doubt!
That machine is mesmerizing. I could watch that thing make parts all day and still be amazed. Especially fun watching it mill a flat side in polar coordinates.
Best commend 🤣
Those are some gorgeous clamps.
I love those close ups. Gives people an idea just how good you are as a machinist. So much knowledge bottled up in these videos.
Amazing talent - just goes ahead and makes 1000 times better holding clamps than what’s commercially available - someone is going to steal this design - this is without a doubt the most talented all round Machinist in the USA - if you disagree name his better.
When I started watching CZcams videos on machine work. The person I learn from is Robin Renzetti.

I love how professional he is about everything.
Never corners cut
Yeah, especially about the file without a handle...
Those are some fancy and unique clamps Peter! I love them . I doubt anybody else has a set equivalent. You've got a great mind for designing mechanical devices and watching a project like this come together is a gift. Thank you.
Those clamps are a work of art Peter
NICE! I always click and then learn when you post a video. Thank you sir!
WHAT A FANTASTIC FIXTURE, WELL DESINED. REGARDS RICHARD.
Amazing to watch. Absolutely mesmerizing. Beautiful clamps. I'll take a set. Cheers.
Amazing how I can sit and watch you work for hours.
What an awesome job in this project. It shows such detail and the thought process behind the design the making of it. Thank you for showing this project.
And here I was about to be all "You have a manual lathe!?"
Then you hit start program. 🤣
In his "home" shop 😮
Very interesting video Peter. Looks good all parts assembled. 👍🙂👍
Peter: Those clamps are sheer genius & beautiful pieces of art too 👍🏴
I saw your original description of why the clamps were not doing a good job and I'm fascinated to see your replacements. Very impressive.
Great filing tip. Saves me from digging those files out the ceiling of my shop. Good job on the video keep em coming...
the tip was to keep the file from impaling your hand, or going clear through it.
OK, I don't have a need right now for these clamps right now but I gotta have four of them now. Very Nice work!
Excellent clamps Peter! 😎👍🏽
Peter, your a genius, your fixtures are as interesting as the component they fixture.
I don't know why, but I find the tool changer on the vertical mill very comforting. Great stuff, as usual. Thanks!
I swear it almost looks like you know what you're doing! Lol great job. Fun exercise!
Like the overdub of the face milling sound at the end. Really watchable - was glued from beginning to end, some really good points, clamps look beautiful and as you say 1000 X better and nice 'Feel" to them that's actually helpful and useful. Super Vid ! Thanks for making this.
... nice Project ... nice Clamps ... :-) with these little spoilers on Insta :-) great Job Peter
A master class in planning then brilliantly executing. Thank you for taking us along on the journey Peter.
Peter you are true inspire to me. If Been machinist for 20 years and you give me hope to Start My own company.
I'm your fan man. With all the equipment you have and your experience you make great things. you are very professional.
Great design and impressive machine work. Thanks for sharing this project..
I love bronze parts machining, so clean, fast and shining ;)
Yes we need better clamps - I'll just show you how to make some in your home shop!!! FAR beyond my expertise but you explain it so well. I wasn't sure why you milled part of the thread out until you assembled the shoulder bolts. (understand it now) Thank you and God Bless.
Excellent workmanship!
Nice clamps...those should come in handy for years
Those are some pretty skookum looking clamps Peter, nice job!
What beautiful work you did on those clamps. I enjoyed your creative way to solve a problem. I never get tired of watching.
Awesome job Peter!
That's a great design! I am going to have to make some.....
Mighty Peter Clamps = very cool design.
Dude this whole toe clamp series has been incredible. so informative and entertaining. thanks man!
great work as always! these must be the nicest clamps ever.
Again you have surpassed your self, not only functional but an Artform too. Take care.
I stumbled onto your channel. I really like your work. I enjoy your channel. Thank you for making your videos.
This is very therapeutic ,I could watch all weekend
The nearest thing I have to these are made by a German company callled LENZKES. Nice jobs, but not as low profile as yours. Nice job. I think they would sell well too.
Damn... I've made some tooling for some setups, but you out there flexing on everyone with these clamps
Love the clamps keep up the good work THANKS.
Peter, this is gorgeous! And it was super fun and educational to see you carry out some manual operations.
All your machines and operating skills are amazing to watch
Those are awesome clamps , I might try make some for jobs we do at work. Sometimes we machine the stainless ‘gates’ of knife gate valves , some are 700mm x 1200mm and clamps like those would work perfect!💪
Peter you make the nicest tooling well thought out
The nicest toe clamps I've ever seen! As always, you make nicegreat tools Peter.
Peter, you should put few cameras in your shop to film 24/7 like a reallity show.. I would watch it day and night.. Everything you do is pure perfection..

As you were turning the threads I could smell the tap magic through the screen. You never forget that smell

amazing work, 3 workshops and a true master of them all.
also: 19:33 - that's what she said
Outstanding workmanship. Thanks for sharing.
That is a nice clamp, I can see chips getting in between the toe and the bronze nut when clamped. Thanks for sharing. Charles
Yes I have also thought of that. Maybe a small shield on the top would help with that. If this becomes a problem I will look into that. Thanks.
I have a idea on this. I should have incorporated in the original design.
@@EdgePrecision Given the small travel, I'd consider a bead of clear RTV along the jaw edge as an expedient dirt seal.
Wow, well done Mr. Stanton.
I saw a video today of a guy making a solid carbide keyslot cutter out of a broken end mill...using a manual cutter grinder.
👍 you're the man Peter!

Peter,
Great work as always,
I find that applying a medium grit cratex bar to the threads while rotating gives the threads a nice burnished finish
Yes I been meaning to get some cratex sticks for that.Thanks for reminding me.
oh yes those are nice, you should patent those clamps, and get someone to make and market those for you.
A work of art!
Considering the company I work for have to order material this month so we can get it next year makes waste of material feel even worse
