Brown and Sharpe made precision measuring tools ( like micrometers ) as well as machines. One of their best know machines were called screw machines. These were high production automatic lathes. Very involved to set up but boy could they produce parts. The magnet chuck was primarily used on surface grinders. However your usage is great as well. BTW a company named Starrett also made high quality measuring and layout tools. I always preferred Brown and Sharp though. My Gerstner tool box is filled with their stuff. BTW I’m a 74 yr old retired tool and die maker. Love your channel young grasshopper 😊
Brown & Sharpe was in business through mid 60s when it was bought out. Most of the 510 line was made 1940ish. Anything made by the original Brown & Sharpe holds it's value well (actually increases in value) because of the workmanship.
Great stuff as always Tay and Walker! I have a suggestion or a trick of the trade for you. To spend less money on abrasives, less time grinding and less metal dust mess in the shop. Get a harbor freight cement mixer. Throw your small parts straight from the plasma cutter and some blast media into the mixer and let it run in the mixer for like 45 min and they come out super clean! I know it sounds crazy but it works. Just gives you time to get other stuff done instead of grinding/cleaning small parts. It can be kinda loud but your shop seems big enough to find a spot far enough away to not be bothersome. Just an idea.
Those switch magnets have a core that moves inside to cause constructive or destructive interference in the magnetic field and cancels out or turns out doing such. I took one apart out of curiosity. 😂
The magnetic chucks can be relatively found for a few hundred bucks on old Brown and Sharpe surface grinders. Many times at auction they never sell due to the machine you have to purchase with them that are a package deal. 😊
It's very special that you guys are really fond of your tools. I keep MY favorite tool with me always, just incase the Mrs. doesn't have a headache...again!
Good stuff Tay. Several of your favorites are mine as well. A pneumatic Dynafile( made by Dynabrade ) or a clone, is one of the handiest tools I've ever used. Same with the Pearson bender. That little rod/flatbar bender coupled with a SWAG Offroad press brake( or clone ) in a shop press, allow you to do so many things, and quickly. For me, I'd add a SWAG Offroad ( or equivalent ) vertical stand table for a Porta-Band saw. I have mine cantilevered off the end of my workbench so the table acts as a support for cutting long stock. Controlled with a foot switch, it's a game changer for someone working in a small space. I'd love to have a proper horizontal band saw, and a big honking Do-All vertical, but just don't have room for them. It was nice meeting you guys this summer when passing through Roanoke, and hope you guys have an awesome 2024!
Construction master pro calculator is a go to for stairs/railing for me. They have physical calculators or an app. Helps a lot with rise/run calculations or stair stringer measurements. Also handy for general fabrication.
Looking forward to another year of your video's. Here in the UK we call the mini belt sander a power file, and as you say they are a great tool. Have a very happy new year and all the best.
First time caller long time listener. I just wanted to say I appreciate and respect your reviews and suggestions for tools. Your suggestions have allowed me to purchase some incredible stuff. So with that said, I have a question. You mention in this video you weren’t entirely happy with your Everlast 210? Can you please elaborate? I am looking to buy a TIG for working in my home shop and the Dynasty is way out of my price range. I was really considering purchasing the Everlast 210, if you have some insight on why I might pick another brand, I would appreciate your feedback!
For me my welders,cheap Ahp I've had for 5 years a Miller 185 might set up with gas shield Flux core.My Langmuire tables have been a gamechanger for my small shop,vested in Milwaulkee 12 and 18v tools have a metal scribe that's like a vernier caliper but made for scribing got on Amazon my small Enco mill and home made belt and disc stationary sanders.Have one of thos Bosch lasers just for measuring, a go to also.great video guys,always like to see people's go to's.
Good tools are the ones that save time and pay for themselves first time you use them - some home made tools and jigs that last forever and are always used and save hours - also LED Head lamps that can fit on your welder hood.
Thank you Tay / Walker and team for a great year of funny educational content this year ! I originally watched you build the shop up as I was drawn in by all the old machinery from the start . Your vision and passion has paid off Sir ! And I wish you All well for the new year and that your success keeps on growing. ! From Down Under 🦘 Cheers Andy

20:08 I see one in the background. 👍
Damn brother, that's a good idea.. thanks!!
@@kaceesavageoh shiz you’re right! Wonder if that’s what it’s used for. Great catch!
@@IanMossMakeMoss if it wasn’t before I hope it is now.
For sure! Lol

I love that you use what works, expensive, cheap, brand name, or da-hail makes that. Great channel.

I love your channel! The magnet is a game changer for sure!
I got the Everlast welder because your recommendation, showed up just the other week. Never tig welded but going to learn.

I recently used a mini belt sander i borrowed from a coworker. Game changer.
I bought the Milwaukee m12 version and i love it.

How difficult would it be for you to make a bender yourself? Would love to watch a video like that 😊
I guarantee the time it costs to make the bender exceeds the cash it cost him.

Yes.. power file.. that is the brand name of the electric Black & Decker version..

The magnetic chuck came off a surface grinder. Older manual surface grinders go really cheap at auction.
The togglable magnets work by opposing magnets. So it turns the one magnet around to prevent the other from working.
Love the torch!
Great job Tay always enjoy your videos!

Vevor sells a magnetic chuck had mine several years at that time it was a little over $200 Including shipping very handy !
Happy New Year to the Lift Arc crew!
you’re my favorite tool. Happy new year.
Happy new year
Thanks for 2023.looking forward to 2024
A piece of carpet also stops pieces from flying around when trying to grind on them.
I appreciate the more focused, less lengthy episodes, 30-45 minutes. Longer than that loses appeal.
Agreed
Where's your staying power..
