This has GOT TO BE the most useful channel I have subscribed to as far as learning more about what I love!
I feel exactly as you
I've learned so much from watching Joe's videos and saved money using his techniques. Top man!
Clever workholding is the difference between making a profit and losing your ass on a job. Another "hell yes I'm gonna use that" page in the book of Joe Pi tricks. Thanks, mate!
Looking at all of your videos, I'd say you are teaching us how to think, not just how to machine. Thanks!
I appreciate that! I present a lot of theory that can be customized once you see it done.
Another master class from a master at his craft. Thanks Joe
Feel sorry for the poor SOB that downvoted this. Thanks Joe
Currently sitting at 997 to 2. That's 1/5 of 1% rejection rate. I'm OK with that. I would like to know what they didn't approve of???
Even if I never use this trick the way you work up methods like this aids us all to think outside the box and approach things in a different manner. Another superb video.
I've decided. You're not an engineer, you're a magician. Thank you very much.
Joe, that's a brilliant method for boring extremely thin shims. Your methods are mind-ticklers. Thanks for sharing.
This is just what I needed. I have to make some thin shims. It's like you knew what I needed in my life.
This is a fantastic example of thinking outside of the box. Thumbs up!
Glad you think so!
Old video, Timeless, Flawless information ! Absolute pleasure to watch a Master work at his craft.
Joe Pie, you Sir, are appreciated more than you know ! Thank You !
Joe's one of the few utube machining gods.
Thank you for the support.
This technique pretty much blew my mind. Hopefully I'll remember it when I need it.
Shim material... $0.01
Jig material.... $2.00
Dowell pin.... $0.25
Experience..... Priceless... ;)
BTW. Cost per washer $10.00 lol
Hi Pierre. In a pinch, you'd gladly pay $10 each.
Great demonstration video. Love your teaching style, Joe Pie!
Thank you sir.
To the guy an old guy can still learn a lot. Enjoyed as always.
In the first part of the video I was wondering and trying to work out how you were going to do it. Really impressed with the lateral thinking and superb end result.
Glad you liked it!
brilliant as always ,I see you used a small bit to cut down on the forces applied to the part and went in slowly to cut down on warping ,now that's outstanding work and out of the box thinking that we all need to see and understand thanks for taking the time to show us.
WOW Real nice procedure. I wouldn't have thought of that one. You are a wealth of machining knowledge. Very nice of you to share this with all of us. Thank you. Dan
Fantastic Joe... Thank you for your teaching. I am a retired scientific glassblower and I am now learning proper techniques of using an engineering lathe... Thank you for your marvellous videos.
Thanks for watching.
Cool. Another solution to a problem I don't yet have! I know that I will use this somewhere in the future. Thanks for the great demo.
Great idea. Will definitely try it next time I need some thin shims.
It’s an honor to watch a Master at work. Thanks for another great lesson.
I wouldn't have even tried that till you showed us how. I love your videos Joe, and I love how willing you are to share your skills, experience, and expert techniques. Thank You!
Elliot Lake Ontario Canada. Nice method Joe only wish I had found this sooner. Enjoyed watching it all come together thanks for sharing.
As always I am so grateful that you do these videos. Clear, concise, to the point and “full on” educational. Thank you, thank you and thank you...... Please keep making these videos.
Thanks for the comment. It fuels the fire.
Your are the master of crafty machining
Solves a problem I had.
Thanks,
John
Awesome technique and video Joe! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
thx joe ur wealth of knowlage is amazing, thank you for making it easy for a simpleton like me
Glad you enjoy it!
Well now. A genuinely elegant and relatively simple setup that clearly works. My own background as a git-er-dun truck mechanic in a general duty repair shop absolutely does not require the same degree of precision as a machinist automatically thinks in,based on his training and approach . My own thought would have been to walk over to the bench with all our soldering doodads,actually tin with 95/5,then probably 30/70 on top for better strength. Solder the parts together with our old kerosene blowtorch,solder properly applied has great holding force,cut the now cylinder to appropriate diameters,then unsolder and so what the washers are a little thicker,the tin etc will help hold a nut from vibration. Now that will NOT work on aluminum tinfoil,but sheets of different thicknesses are generally available from truck brake supply houses so unless aluminum is a known requirement,doneskis. Shim stock is incredibly useful in a whole host of applications,so various remainders are sorted through to choose from. Yours is I think a better approach,no major heat and may very well take less time than my approach.
No doubt there are other ways to the same end product,precision tools like a lathe are a luxury in my world but possibly one of the old brake drum lathes could be adapted. Whatever works. Cheers.
I always learn something great from your videos.
one word comes to mind, RESPECT !
Ingenious, as always. Thanks for taking the time and effort to pass on all of your tips and tricks.
"I think I got lucky" lol
The more you practice, the luckier you get.
Great technique. Thanks
Always a cool approach to a difficult task! Thank's for taking the time to film and share this stuff, Joe!
Joe , your the true meaning of. If you can't fix it well then it isn't broke. Your a true master at your trade. Love your videos and you always leave us thinking.
Another ceative work holding solution. I appreciate how accessible your techniques are to the hobby machinist.
Cool trick! We normally stack up shims and wire cut them . I like this idea better for small shims.
Hi Joe, good tip. I love all these tips, some I have used, some in the future. I think this is what makes one machinist stand out from another, the ability to come up with a great idea, and share it! Thanks!!
once again a masterful display by the master . love your video's Joe . :)
Thanks Joe! You are truly the Master of work holding.
I imagined an arbor similar to yours but made from square stock with holes drilled and tapped in the corners using bolts to draw it together. After seeing your trick, I think your method is faster with much higher clamping force. Thank you for all of the awesome education you bring us Joe.
Greetings from New Zealand, I live where they grow all the Kiwi fruit, I think you call them "kiwi's. I have found ALL your video's helpful and professionally presented. Shalom.
Absolutely fantastic demonstration. I love these videos showing how to deal with situations that may not often be encountered. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and ingenuity. Cheers!
once again, it is knowing the tricks! Learned something new again. Thanks joe!
I must be getting to know you Joe. Every mental question that I was asking was answered by you a few seconds later. Another great technique. Thanks.
HI Joe- great hints for tough jobs as usual . thanks
I could not afford the time or cost of a mishap on those parts. This was a very safe option.
Thanks Joe for sharing these tips and for having you here on youtube!
I wish we could leave multiple "thumbs up" for your videos... just clicking it once doesnt feel adequate. Thanks again for sharing this knowledge and techniques!
Fantastic Tip Joe !!! You are the MAN !!!!!
Joe, once again. Just pretty darn neat.
I like this tecnic very much thanks
Super useful lesson, once again thank you.
You're making smarter Machinists out of all of us,
and thank you for sharing your ideas, tips, and tricks.
This is one of the most valuable channels on UA-cam
Thank you very much.
I've used a similar process for making OS engine gaskets except I ran them on my CNC mill. This was a great job Joe, my hat's off to you sir. Fine work.
I have no metalworking capabilities or tools whatsoever, but anyway: this is brilliant!
Simple and highly functional. Nice tip, as per the usual.
Excellent trick, Joe, thank you.
Dang Joe, that was Awesome!
Great idea. Just learned another trick. THANKS!
Just used this trick for some pinion shims for an odd ball axle. Worked great. Thanks a million Joe.
Thanks for posting. This is a very clever way to hold shims!
Nice little cutter on the boring bar. Looks like that method works for paper gaskets too. Thanks for sharing.
Joe, I really enjoy your videos. More importantly your ideas are just outstanding, including this one! Thanks for the information. Just a note, I have switched to a left handed threading tool, mounted it up side down, reversed the direction of spin on the lathe, and run my threading from left to right. Another great idea I picked up from your video. Thanks!
BRILLIANT! Very nicely done and thanks for sharing!
Great video Joe, thank you for making and sharing this.
Great tip Joe just What I needed
These tricks you teach are invaluable, I've learned basic machining from other youtube vids, but have found your vids just in time. I was beginning to get discouraged ,as I would run into problems, this for one, in real life. So far I have found no substitute for your wisdom. In the past, in my former career, I was able to think "out of the box" and it served me well. I need to apply that way of thinking to my newer endeavor as my comfort level in my skills increase. Thanks Teach from your most recent Subscriber Saul Blade
Thanks Saul.
Joe-
Elegant solution to an interesting problem, as we have come to expect from you.
Many, many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Bill
Glad to help.
Excellent tip, Thanks for sharing Joe
Joe Ur a great amazing piece of a Mastermind! awesome job. U will give a very good mentor for all of us keep it Up!!!
Thanks for sharing your immense practical knowledge so profusely it is extremely useful
My pleasure!
Great technique. Thanks for sharing.
I find your topics really helpful. Very useful. I am from Johannesburg South Africa.
What a great tip. Thanks Joe!
Hi Joe, on one of your earlier videos I just watched you asked those who comment to let you know where we are from. I am from the State of Queensland in Australia. Machining is a hobby. (I have completed a lathe course part-time - two evening a week over two years, as well as other mechanical oriented courses to enable me to get the most out of my gear. So I find your topics really helpful. You also asked if you should include the mathematical calculations behind the techniques you are showing. For me, yes please. The mathematics adds to the richness of the topic and for me (as I once worked in calculations and computing) I can more quickly see where you are going on the topic. Very pleased I found your channel. Thankyou (Your firm does some very interesting and highly technical quality work).
Always amazed. You are a genius.
Still prowling around. Great tips my friend. Never been faced with this but this is certainly one I will remember. Thanks eh !
There are not too many other ways to get past this problem.
@@joepie221 I guess it is the "Clutching" material is the real trick to use. I would imagine a split roll pin will work ok as long as it is installed with the split inline with the tool ?
Very nice, why didnt I think of that. Joe you have a very mechanical mind
Hey Joe, I'm a Harley mechanic/engine buulder, went to vocational high school for machine shop, so I know enough to be dangerous! I've watched a bunch of your videos and have been impressed, but this one was over the top. Even made me subscribe, and I never subscribe to channels. Thank you so much for sharing your time and knowledge.
Thank you for the sub. I appreciate it.
Great trick! Just used it for another job that needed very specific sized washers. Thanks for the lesson!!
Excellent.
Very nice, I wouldn't have thought that possible with shims. To be honest had I thought of it I would probably have tried a drill and a reamer. Having seen your video and seeing how easy you achieved your objective, I think the drill would have tore at the shims. A well presented video along with content as always. Thanks Joe.
Thanks 👍
Thank you. I keep having to purchase what's not exactly the I.D. and/or O.D. that I want from McMaster. Now I can make the right size in house. Thank you again. And I guess I got to say thank you UA-cam for making it possible for me to learn from this master and many others that I have watched on UA-cam. Thank you all...
: ) , made me smile . . . very very very cool . . . thanks a bunch . . . .
You really come up with some brilliant ideas
You’re a wizard Harry.
I have successfully made G-10 spacers with the method you have shown. These spacers are .010, plus 0.0, minus .001 thick. When parting off the ID shreds, so I added .100 to the ID. Made the arbor identically and used poster board for clutch material. 100% perfection, Thank you so much!!!!
Sorry, I did see your first video, turning the shims.... good video....thanks
Great video Joe, thx! I've faced this problem many times in my career rebuilding and adjusting hydrostatic drives and other hydraulic components. Very useful information.
Watch the making thin shim video as well. They go together nicely.
yes, I did watch that one already thx. ua-cam.com/video/lGsA_q4guwM/v-deo.html
Thanks for making me think
Perfect work as usual. I love to see your tips and tricks. I really appreciate that you share these tricks. Keep up the great work!
That idea will come in very useful, thanks!
Great idea I am going to use this for sure. Thanks for the info.
Bob
Awesome technique i already used the pressure turning to make shims which worked brilliantly love the videos keep them coming
Loved that. Another example of inverting the usual method, and nobody can argue with the results.That job would have been off to the laser cutter for me.
Very smart way, thanks for the great idea.
That was an amazing demonstration of tlhinking outside the box, thanks for the video!.
Great tip! I might try this method, to make those hard to get shims for the gearbox on my Kawasaki. Find some, with I.D. really close, and open them up a little. Thanks!
Very handy trick Joe, I have had similar thoughts on this procedure before but never thought of the retaining pin. Definitely a keeper.
Richard Cox
Could pointed set screws be used instead of a pin. Making the tool somewhat reusable?
If they would hold I don't know why not. Another possibility.
very good joe ....love all your videos .....and do not get rid of your little hammer you used for pin ,its great for gasket making ..keep up the great work joe.
