- Inert atmosphere for heat treating oven?
Don't adjust your TV, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT!
I've wanted to try this upgrade since I first heard about it. Let's give it a try!

That oven must be wondering why all the air molecules argon!
The cockles are a blaze with pride my friend! Well done.
Bravo sir well done
Groan.
Sir, your pun is my anagram.
funny so funny
Get out. 🤪
Tony: "No really, honey, these people will watch *anything*. I bet I could even get them to watch 2 minutes of a rabbit eating grass!!"
But it's from a collet!!😂😎👍👍
"Organic machining"
I watched it it was cute... I think Tony's plan is to attach the rabbit to the fly cutter and train the rabbit to eat grass from it so he can fly cut his lawn
Hell I've had 100 people watch a 10 minute long time lapse I posted.
@@eliworks8549 printing time lapses are entertaining. Watching all the structure being formed. Fun stuff. Now if more people would watch my video of a pseudoscorpion peeking out from a chanterelle mushroom that would be nice... maybe everyone is pretending not to be fascinated by him?
TOT: "Ya see that how gross those parts are? No one wants parts like that!"
*Blacksmiths have left the chat.*
unfortunately it's true. first smithed "s" hooks I sold was out of some 1/4" stock that had been buried behind a buds shop for 10 years and she loved them and had to have them all pitted to hell.
Yeah I felt attacked lmao
Why do I get the feeling that this whole video was just a sneaky way for TOT to show us his new rabbit?
trick... you forgot trick at the end.
It’s got me worried that the kittens were made into stew! 😱
Before it went I to the oven?😳
I wanna know how it came out white.
@@bradleystach6275 Worse yet, where'd he pull the kitten from??
Judging by how clean that bunny is, it may not have been the first take.
and how many rabbit does it take ?
You’ve never heard the one about how the bear asked the rabbit if he has problems with...stuff...sticking to his fur?
@@Scofflaw_k10 that's funny, it made me think of the same joke.
Nah. We have something better but similar to what you guys call a perma-coat or something. Always squeeky-clean... ;P
@@Scofflaw_k10 "One day down in the jungle" is how I start to tell it, and it is the the only joke I tell. Works best in mixed company.
The flywheel cutter explosion scared the rabbit out of me...
mine to but it wasnt expecting my pants to still be on!
I saw this comment RIGHT before the explosion 😂
Same - although MY new 'pet rabbit' is browner... And smells funny
Why was there a rabbit in you? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@kingarthurthe5th I think the more important question is this: Why is there NOT a rabbit in you?
Those must be “collet greens”.
Get out.
Lol I'm dead
Well played. well played indeed. :)
Most indubitably
GODDAMMIT
My favorites - pulling the rabbit out of your butt, the flycutter causing an explosion, and the rabbit eating grass accompanied by threatening music. Tony, you never fail to surprise me! Oh - and the oven seemed to work pretty well, too.
It reminds me of the Jim Carey movie where he makes the monkey come out of the guys butt.
I hope he puts that poor rabbit back where he got him from.

I bet Ron Covell could make one of those tool holer racks using 'Rollation' and the hole drawing tool like in the bomber seat. I would watch that.
@@yetanotherdan Do his kids know the old man is doing experiments on the bunny, in the garage?
Looks like the case of the oven is actually made from Undrillium.
@Peter smith and steel is heavier than feathers.
@@MaximilianonMars but only if you have a pound of each.
On top of it's heat-treated it is a heat treat oven. once it turns you need something to cut through the hardness.
TOT needs the Hardness Standards table for the different grades and types of : Undrillium, Unobtainiaum, Toosoftium, Badstuffiaum. I'v got one SOMEWERE in my old Gerstner box.
Finally I found another guy who puts his fly cutter in his cordless drill for squaring work on the go
I use my fly cutter in my Yankee Screwdriver. Makes a super fine finish.
must have been a shipwright.. i found an old shipwright level once the bubble vial helps if it gets dropped..
Use it on the fly so to say lol.
@@michiganmoto7687 When I was first exposed to a Yankee, I was blown away... I still kinda want one. Perhaps one day I'll make that happen.
@@DavidLindes I got one at a yard sale, works but I never use it, just a novelty piece I guess. You can find plenty at antique stores or eBay, they'll cost a pretty penny though
It's true argon is heavier but if you flip the oven upside down it nullifies the effect.
Don't do it! It caused my oven to float away!
Gonna asphyxiate the Australians if ya ain't careful
These 3 comments are the greatest!!!
not upside down....
It’s the same reason cats always land on their feet and peanut butter toast lands sticky-side-down... unless you duct tape peanut butter toast to your cat. They you’ve achieved neutral buoyancy in air at sea level. Congratulations!!
Man the rabbit really stole the show 😁
Especially since he literally just pulled it from his ass there...
It’s now the baby bunny show.
How come the rabbit wasn’t a brown bunny?
@@johnkruton9708 Without getting too graphic, I think the saying is: With enemas like that, who needs friends?
It sure made my daughters day!
The idea of a fly-cutter in a handdrill made me laugh out loud.
yeah that one got me good
Requires a bit of a steady hand, but do-able.
No realy!
I've had some spade bits try and simulate how that would feel
I've accidentally made one while trying to drill a steel bar, I lose grip and this fucker was spinning. Almost lost a finger
I told my wife, he's easily the funniest machinist I've ever heard.
Wrapping parts in stainless steel foil for the hardening and quench will keep the scale away. The parts don't even turn black.
I was watching thinking, "Huh, my mechanics never seems to have scale." Now I know why!
You can negatively effect the quench, if you don't remove the parts from the envelope first (depending on your particular requirements)
I vouch for this random stranger from Switzerland to know what he is talking about!=)
lol du kommst aus der schweiz??
@@morkovija
Yo, I’m not Swiss 🧀, but 1.25 works for me!
With this video, you increased the audience in this house to 3x its original level! My bunnies actually sat and watched the last two minutes without hopping away, now they want to know when they can have collet greens of their own.
I've been working as a knifemaker a few years back and we also used Argon to flush the chamber.
From my experience there shouldn't be any damage to the surface layer at all. All we used to get was a thin matte grey oxide layer and no pitting to speak of.
This was easily removed with a few strokes of 400-600 grit sandpaper. This layer would be tough but thin and you could still see the satin finish from before trough the oxide.
I think time is of the essence here as the oxidation starts as soon as you open the oven door and the atmosphere disperses. Just move a bit quicker next time.
Also I'd set a higher flow rate and maybe you should replace your oil as it seems to have a lot of gunk in it which immediately bakes onto the part as soon as it touches it.
If you're not using proper quenching oil yet, try to get some that's specifically made for heat treating.
I'd also stay away from Nitrogen and just use the Argon. With Nitrogen the oxide layer always seemed to be a lot harder to remove given the same parameters as with Argon.
I can only guess but I think the outmost layer got partly nitrated in the process which may not be a wanted side effect...
This was my thought also. You could crank up argon flow right b4 you take the part out and have your oil right at the door. As an alternative I'm going to purge my shop with argon completely be for removing the tool from the oven. I love all your videos TOT. I'm feeling kinda sleepy, I think I'll take a nap in the shop.
To add to the whole proper quench oil idea, also keep in mind that some steels want a heated quench media.
@@alext.7313 AFAIK most tool steels do. When doing critical stuff we'd usually prewarm the oil to around 200°C. This also reduces warpage and probability of cracking.
@@joenicotera2991 Proper Nitration happens at 500-550°C, so at those high temperatures it's merely an uncontrolled side effect. When done properly your part shouldn't look hot forged at all but just have an even greyish coating all around. For the parts i usually do i can still fit precision ground pins to holes that were reamed at max. 0,01mm bigger without even cleaning them up. And no, a nitrated layer isn't always wanted, especially when you need your part (f.e. a knife) to conform to certain characteristics (e.g. toughness, brittleness, edge retention, etc.).
@@unr3al67 I can say that, to my experience heat treating a wide swath of different steels, it's close to 50-50. In fact there are many steels that want to air cool after hardened. To make it more interesting, some require some intense heat mapping to air quench properly. (Ie slow ramps down, weird stepped ramps with plateaus, etc...)
I've never machined anything in my life and probably never will. I still love this channel. I feel I'm learning things I can use later to tell other people that know more than me how they're wrong about machining but also I always come away smiling from these videos. Just thought I'd throw that in there among the pro's and machinist crowd talking shop.
Good to see someone out there still using one of those vintage dot matrix 3D printers. I have an old coal fired printer from the late 1800's...it was a barn find...struck gold that day!
You got me with the exploding cutter gag, made me jump!
Me too. It startled me.
Yup,,, same here
Blimmin heck! Just a bit!
Yep nearly brown 🤣
I'm not sure I've ever wanted to see an audience retention graph from another channel more than the last two glorious minutes of this video...
Very bunny... quite the rabbit hole, though.
I was thinking the same thing.
I just want to give this man a hug everytime he makes a joke.
This old tony has officially become a major part of my life. And he doesn’t even know me.
Or does he?!? "insert suspense dum dum dum thing here"
@@aerogfs and maybe we've all become a part of his, and he doesn't know us! Dun du dunnnn
Trust me, we are all much better off with him. That Other Old Tony is more frightening and creepy than the rabbit! (He has a goatee so you can tell he is the evil one.)
Notice me senpai!
I don't even know what he's talking about 95% of the time. I'm just here for the jokes.
"...so lets make something!"
TOT proceeds to heat treat the chips.
The argon is heavier than air. It's leaking out of the oven through the steel casing and door. I recommend putting the oven door up if possible to reduce leaking. Otherwise increase purge cfh.
Source: Professional pipe welder
@@froop2393 It sure as hell cools down quickly too... and transfers it's heat to the air causing air to become lighter... overall keep in mind the diffusion usually argon just like any other gas will just disperse in air and you will merely start suffocating because the concentration of Ar is Already to high in the whole room... besides Argon is already in the air, it is just that the concentration is very low... I'd just be sceptical and take every precaution possible, most importantly install an active ventilation system in your garage...
An iron worker would just weld the door shut
Why not change how the over is oriented? Like with the opening upwards, like a foundry. There is nothing preventing this aaaaand once it is filled with argon....it just stays there.
This Old Tony petting a bunny may be the most wholesome thing I've seen on this channel
Well, there were the cats.
Where are the cats???
@@JohnADoe-pg1qk We took them, ages ago, and you're asking NOW? Really?!? Once we've replace those punny cats with one of ours? Really?!? We did ask for a reward too you know? But no one answered. So, we sold them to SIr SIc. ;)
I probably shouldn't mention that he's actually petting his butt hare on camera then!
@@Hypercube9 Well, in a way, he is. But, to mention it or not is your choice.... Lmao!
It's funny you mention a "rotating hot end" for a 3d printer that's actually something I've been working on for awhile now, specifically to allow different materials/nozzle sizes/ temps/etc. Basically a microscope end, just with E3D V6 hot ends instead of lenses.
It is a cool design can't wait to see you finish it.
I've made a couple 3D printers with multiple hot ends for different colors flavors etc
@@benjaminwatkins7345 ya there are multiple ways to do it I just haven't seen one like what he is working on. And it is almost exactly what Tony describes.
Tool changer mods are a thing now
Makertech3d sells a switching hotend but the reviews aren't that great - and the switching with that one is only on one plane. Repeatability and calibration is a huge hassle.
There's some nice manually operated options though, xChange being the one that comes to mind first because it's a commercial product (kickstarter) but there are many opensource solutions on thingiverse and the like.
For fully automatic toolchanging, the e3d toolchanger / jubilee3D seems to be state of the art atm. Their couplings are being ported to different platforms by the community. Also a hassle to set up and calibrate but very precise and repeatable.
TOT's fingerprint removal tool at @10:22 made me cry from laughing so hard! I know it's almost a year later, but I STILL come back to watch this video for a laugh.
Imagine being at an event and seeing a pair of floating hands.
By the way, I'm surprised that rabbit wasn't brown.
That's hillarious
The Magic of WD-40!
Or post-editing 😁
Like that old joke:
A bear and a rabbit were taking a dump out in the woods.
The bear asks the rabbit, "do you have problems with poo sticking to your fur?"
The rabbit looks up and says, "uh, no, not really..."
The bear wipes his butt with the rabbit and walks away.
Note that the bunny is on a scotchbrite pad. It takes some work, but you can eventually get through to the base white rabbit. Necessary to get a good surface finish for bluing, of course.
@@Mishn0 still funny years later dad.
"scrapbinium." I'm gonna use that one.
Many years ago I worked in my grandfather's tool & die shop and we would wrap the dies carefully in stainless-steel foil before they went in the oven for heat treating. They were still slightly discolored, but when they were unwrapped they had NOTHING like the scale I saw in the last video when the tool steel goes in naked. This argon mod is awesome, but the old folks knew how to get stuff done too.
I regularly use A2 and I either wrap them in stainless steel foil or bags. If I do it well they come out nice and bright. A2 is an air cooling material. I leave them in the bag and before tempering in the kitchen oven they are at 62 to 65 HRC
That's how I learned to do it, with an added chunk of paper in the bag so it burns up and consumes all the o2.
Since argon is heavier than 'air', most of it is going to flow out of the oven as soon as you open the door.
Nitrogen will take longer to do that (since the air is mostly nitrogen), so you may get better results with the other gas.
Honestly, I've found that laying the oven on it's back with using gas helps the results, since opening the top doesn't let the purging gasses fall out onto the floor.
Argon is heavier than air, but it is fairly hot inside the oven, so maybe it is actually lighter than air in this case?
@@HitoPrl Just heat the shop to 1500F. Problem solved.

I had to scroll down too much to like this comment.
When we use nitrogen to inert vessels in the oil industry we apply the gas from the bottom and vent the oxygen from the top.
You an always check this in your application by putting a lite
Match into the vented gas to confirm you are getting no more oxygen in the vent stream.
No we don't use this test method in our industrial applications
That moment of absent-mindedness where you released the smoke from your finger was way too familiar. I have definitely done that. A few times.

I used to have a habit of holding random bits of undercarriage while watching students working under cars. It was never a problem because they were working on school cars; longest they ever ran was the minute to get from the storage lot into the shop.
Then one day I ducked under a _customer_ car, right off the road and, while leaning in - grabbed the cat.
And that was my introduction to "incident reporting". Yay.

I really really appreciate you including all the things that seem to happen to me. Dull drill bits make you question whether you are doing something stupid. Mystery materials end up being incredibly hard to cut etc. This is me all the time.
Someone once told me the key to making being human easy is make your screw ups look like you planned them.
You didn't run out of printing 'ink', you planned on two tone legs.
In that vein, I went looking for drill stops by ordering shaft clamps. The secret to my research was I ordered a bunch of shaft clamps by the OD, thinking it was the ID. As I was putting away the much too small shaft clamps, I noticed just how much they looked like the set of 'drill stops' I had bought from China via eBay 4-5 years ago.
What put a smile on my face was discovering the price of the shaft clamps was MUCH cheaper than even the drill stops when I compared the sizes in the set.
I love it when a plan comes together; even when I had no plan.
GeoD
I bought the cheapest, single set screw, no split, Blk Oxide coated steel shaft clamps. You could go 'show boat', and buy SS shaft clamps.

This came out while i was in the hospital for a stroke and was the only thing i looked forward to watching when i finally got home
Great video, like always. Maybe the source of the scaling is the transition between oven and the oil. I mean, once it leaves the oven it comes in contact with oxygen rich atmosphere, plus the flames when dipped in the oil suggest reaction with O2. Also the oil might be contaminated. Reducing the time by decreasing the distance to the oil and having something to grab it with prepared might help. Also, bubbling argon into the oil might ensure there´s no oxygen at least on the surface of the oil. Best of luck! :)

Optimizing your head speed, extrusion hight, etc greatly helps print time as well as not sacrificing fidelity by increasing nozzle size

nothing like a tot vid to take one's mind off the horrors of the world.

Hi, fair warning: The E3Dv6 hotend used by the Prusa MK3/S is close to being flow rate limited (cubic mm of plastic extruded per second) for thicker layer heights even with the 0.4mm nozzle, so with larger nozzle sizes, that is the bottle neck and will prevent you from deriving a good chunk of the speed advantage you could be from larger nozzles. But I am very impatient and an instant gratification enthusiast (who isn't?) so here is how to get around that, and some other tricks to reducing print time by a few fold:
1. Get an E3D volcano hotend. It screws onto the Prusa heatbreak and uses the same heater cartridge and thermistor, so it is a drop-in compatible upgrade. You lose a few mm of print height and you'll need to print a fan nozzle adapter to lower the outlet slightly (there are literally dozens of these if you look for volacno prusa mk3 on thingiverse - and you can print fine for the most part without it anyway). You'll want to get some nozzles for it too - 0.2mm to 1.2mm sizes are available. More importantly, the Volcano increases your maximum flow rate by 2-3x, which for layer heights and wider nozzles will cut print time by a half or third. Just make sure you increase the 'maximum flow rate' setting in the filament settings in Prusa Slic3r. The settings included are tuned for the wimpier E3Dv6. I've been using a volcano exclusively for years and besides a mostly negligible z-height loss, there isn o downside. It's just better.
2. Strangely, I never see much about this trick online but its a vital knob one can tune for 3D printing: extrusion width. Meaning, you don't need 0.6mm nozzle or even an 0.8mm nozzle to print line widths that wide. The only true limitation with nozzle radius is layer height. You always have to print layers slightly thinner than the radius of the nozzle (so 0.35mm is the max for 0.4mm nozzle). But when it comes to extrusion WIDTH, you can generally print up to 250% the nozzle radius without problems. If you look at the nozzle, there is a flat surface where the filament bead comes out, and that feature limits the line width (as this surface is what flattens the bead as the print head does an extrusion move). So you can print 1mm line widths no problem with a stock 0.4mm nozzle, and often you can go slightly wider but you start getting into the tolerance territory for the width of that feature so above 250%, ymmv between nozzles. I like to print with 3-4 perimeters minimum for strength, so a way to get a ton of speed improvement with little to no detail loss is to increase the line width of solid infill, infill, and perimeters while leaving the external perimeter width the default 0.45mm or whatever it is. Also, using line widths 1.5 times the nozzle diameter and wider tends to improve layer adhesion, especially for certain filaments like polycarbonate. The bead has to spread out and is thus smooshed against the previous layer with more pressure, and it is heat AND pressure that increases layer adhesion.
3. Not a tip per see, just a caveat: you'll want to bump up the hotend temperature when printing at 20-25+mm/3 flow rates with the volcano. The rule of thumb I use for most filaments is increase print temperature by 3°C for every mm3/s of additional flow rate above 15mm3/s. So for 30mm3/s, this means 30-15=15mm3/s * 3 = 45°C. So for a print temp of 210°C, this results in 255°C. This probably sounds really high for PLA, but when you're ripping that sweet sweet lactic acid out at 30mm3/s and you can see the spool just spinning continuously, it won't seem that hot anymore. The filament is spending so little time in the hotend that it is never actually reaching that temperature, the extra temperature is to heat it up faster so it still hits in the ball park of the intended print temperature by the time it exists the nozzle.
If all of this sounds like it might have a fairly serious negative impact on print quality.... it really doesn't. And you can really tweak these knobs without adjusting anything else and it really does generally just work. Obviously you will have the normal changes from thicker layers etc. but using these tricks won't really have an impact on quality beyond what you'd get anyway, and if for some reason you do, just back off the flow rate a little and you should be good to go.
Final double secret tip: if you're really nuts, E3Dv6 also makes something called the Super Volcano that is also compatible with the MK3/S. You will lose a lot of Z height but I mean, its a hotend that is undeniably what you get when you take the thermal limitations of print speed to its logical conclusion. The nozzle size goes up to 1.75mm (so, literally the filament diameter lol) and, well, just look at them. If you need all the flow rate in your hotend, these nozzles will put it all up in your hotend. ALL UP IN IT: metacollin.com/s/hvOxXgoUR02s.png
Editing like now one else.. 14:00 “sry I just have one camera“ Great :D
