Let's just recap here for a second; one self-taught man in a workshop using (quite) basic machines, makes a complex piece of tooling that requires multiple specialized processes and a very high level of accuracy. Never mind the screw ups, the (insane, I would think) amount of time and, probably, money spent to achieve this - you are doing an incredible job and are an unbelievable inspiration to go out in the workshop and make something. Well done, sir, well done!
The thing that automatically made the scroll gear? Or whatever that was called? Oh my god, it was like Willy Wonka went to machine shop instead of candy making! Absolutely amazing!
Now that he has done it once, if he can just manufacture these chucks in small batches, he would make a pretty penny. 6-jaw chucks are very expensive and highly desirable for manual and CNC machining.
Mindblowing video man!! Just the fact alone that you built the gear connection from your milling feed to the rotary table is worth an oscar in the machining category. Can't wait to see you make the jaws for it.
Love seeing other incredibly talented machinists recognise this man. You do amazing work and seem really humble. Great to see you're as enthusiastic to see the next one as the rest of us!
yeah it's an old-school technique you don't see often nowadays. I was using a similar fixture to cut the helical taper on injection molding extrusion screws on a Bridgeport back in the olden days.
Come on, you miss a couple of the American machinist channels were they have their faces and big bodies in front of the camera the whole time while rambling on and on cause they just love to hear themselves talk....😂
@@lancer2204 Exactly! Followed by the copious amounts of Patreon "support my channel" links... So tired of the American machinist channels panhandling to squeeze every penny that can from viewers.
Ca Lem, This has to be the single-most impressive thing I've seen a manual machinist make! Simply stunning... Of COURSE I want to see how you made the gear train to cut the spiral! I'd imagine for your next project you might go mine the ore and smelt the steel prior to crafting another masterpiece? LOL! What an amazing job! Now... please hurry up and publish "Part 2" of this build!! Best regards, Jon
I haven't been a machinist a long time, 18 years, but I've never seen or thought about putting a magnetic chuck in the lathe chuck. I'm completely blown away with his work.
I very definitely want to see a video of the gear train you built to link the indexer with the cross-feed screw. I know it's simple, but I just love to see you come up with solutions like that. Wonderful video, amazing work, and thank you for sharing it with us all. :)
I remember you telling us that your family did not understand why you chose this journey. Let them read the comments here, the mechanical world is blown away by your skills and mental capabilities. I truly hope you are able to feel proud, as it is truly deserved. And I hope your family has realised by now you are a Master in your trade, and an inspiration for many of us.
as someone who watches a LOT of machining videos, this is definitely the most impressive feat of manual machining i have ever seen on youtube, my jaw was on the floor at the end.
You are blowing the minds of millions! "make a video if your interested" I think we would enjoy watching you watch paint dry my friend. I still remember (and re-watch) the railroad track vise. Man, you just keep setting the bar higher! Thanks for sharing, Cheers
Just... wow. I'm always impressed by the work you do, and the tools you make. This is absolutely spectacular work. The gearing setup to cut the scroll is pure genius! I'd love to see all the calculations and design for that, as well as the making of (if you recorded it).
@FnA Agreed. The only thing that caused my eye to twitch (at first) on that totally cool rig was the belt. I thought, well if that slips, the whole thing is shot. But then I considered all the gearing and figured the load on the belt was likely too low to make it slip. The scroll turned out spectacular indeed!!!
Every time I see this young man step up to yet another level is proof positive that we are in the presence of greatness. Thank you for allowing me into your workshop.
I know many master machinists and tool and die makers, I can guarantee that not one of them has ever even considered doing what you have done. Thank you for keeping the spirit of manual machining alive and well, it just goes to show with an inquisitive mind and amazing skill set, nothing is out of reach. You are an inspiration my friend!
I've built myself a spiral setup for my dividing head, but I'd still like to see a video about your setup! Hell of a job and an absolutely first class video as always. Very much looking forward to part 2!
I've sat here reading comment after comment highlighting what you're achieving is absolutely amazing. I cannot fathom how you've built this level of machining knowledge after such a short number of years. It is mind blowing. Seriously Ca Lem, you're a phenom.
This is what I'd imagine Artificial Intelligence to look like. Dude with no engineering experience buys rusty old worn out lathes and mills and proceeds to rebuild them with sledge hammers and cold chisels. A few years later he's rebuilding the Solar System.
would only change two things first: it would be done on time to enter ToolFest2021 second: label the jaw slots A, B, Cà Lem, D, E and F. as usual (you set our expectations high) excellent work, thank you for letting us watch! . . . and somebody in the biz, please send this guy offcuts of good materials!
Your videos are always inspiring. Great job again. This should still be entered in the tool making challenge. No one that I know of has ever made a chuck by hand. Your parents should be very proud to know how many people you have inspired around the world in the metal working community. You are an exceptional young man. Please continue. Thank you for sharing.
This is amazing! I have way more respect for somebody that does extremely complex projects like this on manual machines than I do for a project done on a CNC machine.
I can only imagine the amount of research you had to do and all the problems you had to figure out for the process of manufacturing this six jaw Chuck. Your perseverance is astounding.
No way to describe this other than tool art. Absolutely amazing work! The tool itself, the jigs, the machinery used, the thought process, the filming, everything about this screams quality.
I have been in this trade 48 years and still I learn something new from people like you every day. I work mostly on a Toss SN 50 lathe fitted with a 250 mm diameter 4 jaw self centering chuck which is far superior to a 3 jaw chuck for many reasons. But a six jaw chuck would be fantastic. Never thought it is possible. BRILLIANT IDEA.
Я поражён вашим профессиональным уровнем мастерства, я физик и прекрасно себе представляю, что нужно знать и уметь, чтобы изготовить подобную деталь 🙂👍🏻
I am a machinist and designer... I am not sure I would even try this... I could not wait to see how you did it! You simply made it almost look easy... Great Job!! Machinist since 1979.
My grandfather was a very skilled machinist at the NB locomotive works at Springburn, Glasgow. He would be just amazed had he lived to see what you are doing here Ca Lem !! Thank you for continuing to educate your viewers, and also for demonstrating to us how far a bit of "can-do" and human ingenuity can take a man :-)))
Absolutely amazing work!! You are an incredibly talented young man with a brilliant mind and, very strong work ethic, and your attention to detail is fantastic. I couldnt even imagine the time involved in this, in figuring it out, building the needed items to execute it. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Awesome work.......as usual! I have no doubt that you would have earned first place/prize in the Toolfest 2021 event. Thanks for the upload. Really looking forward to the next one. All the best.
This is some beautiful work. Something that any machinist would be very proud of. Love your ingenuity and look forward to watching the rest of your series. So glad UA-cam recommended your channel.
What a video, I was smiling in awe watching that. I get a proper machinist hard-on watching you work. Your ingenuity, dedication, accuracy and perseverance are astonishing. Please keep doing what you do!
Gday Cà Lem, absolutely amazing talent you have, you really are one of the best, you quality of work, fit and finish is a long way in front of what can ever be brought, i would love to see how you designed and build the setup for cutting the spiral, your an amazing man with a true talent and gift mate, I can’t wait to see the jaws being made, beautiful mate beautiful, cheers
Absolutely incredible work! I really admire your patience and effort you put in. Extremely satisfying to watch! Thanks for sharing, I'm really looking forward to part two. Btw, really like the dial depth indicator on your milling machine quill :)

I fist made it for fun then came very handy. I do like its "vintage" look instead of digital one.
This is the most amazing video I have seen for long. Maybe even best ever. I can't remember ever watching skills like this from anyone on UA-cam. I am so amazed. You are fantastic!
CaLem, you have out done yourself on this project mate 💯👍. Without a doubt the best machining video I have ever watched on UA-cam. You have just blown my mind 💥. Kudos to you my friend 👏 👏

Merely being a hobbyist machinist myself ,this built has so many areas where the slightest mistake would ruin the whole built . In awe of this build . The jig you built for the scroll was ingenuity at it's best ....BRAVO sir and I have now subscribed to you amazing channel .
You my friend are one insanely talented person ! The rotisserie set up for hardening is sheer genius ! I don’t even want to think about how many hours of work went into this and all along still being able to concentrate on getting it all on video is mind blowing! Thanks for the video !

@Niels add "...with fewer years experience than many a machinist" and you've summarized perfectly. My god man this guy can make anything!!!!
He is a winner in my book.
The thing that automatically made the scroll gear? Or whatever that was called? Oh my god, it was like Willy Wonka went to machine shop instead of candy making! Absolutely amazing!
On machines he rebuilt himself!
Now that he has done it once, if he can just manufacture these chucks in small batches, he would make a pretty penny. 6-jaw chucks are very expensive and highly desirable for manual and CNC machining.

"if anyone is interested in this ..."
are you kidding me? every video you post is pure gold, you are amazing why are you even asking
Is this even legal?
I’ll call it now, this man is the best manual machinist on UA-cam and it’s not even close. This is incredible.
absolutely not.
i dare you to get in touch with this dude and make a hand plane so mercilessly precise it can shave the grundle of god himself to a mirror sheen
We will make it legal!
No, no it's not legal. It's insane the skills this kids has...
YES! Perfect. No music just the sound of metal and tools. How it should be!

Epic as usual. Please show the spiral cutter. Very interesting and ingenious.
I second this! Very interested in how you did this
This are a very old way , but to recreate this setup are so impressive, today you only see this kind of work on CNC machines
Please please show….. this is really great! Well executed!
Yes! Please!
I thought he did. It's a gear reducer, where 1 complete turn of the index translates to table travel of 1 thread pitch of the spiral.
Ca Lem,
This has to be the single-most impressive thing I've seen a manual machinist make! Simply stunning...

This is amazing! I have way more respect for somebody that does extremely complex projects like this on manual machines than I do for a project done on a CNC machine.
When I saw the title, I asked....how is he going to machine the scroll. Then you geared the cross feed to the rotary indexer....very clever!
Exactly! I saw the thumbnail and thought the same thing, "what about the scroll?"
I figured he was going to make a 6-jaw independent chuck because linking a rotary axis to the x-travel of the machine would be crazy hard :)
I can only imagine the amount of research you had to do and all the problems you had to figure out for the process of manufacturing this six jaw Chuck. Your perseverance is astounding.
Respect. Fntastic workmanship!
Wow, this is such an impressive build! Can’t wait to see it finished!
Thanks brother!
This guy is an inspiration! Love from India.
