Thanks for taking the vise off.
That's how you de-vise things
Hi Quinn, I am 70 and a retired Machine shop instructor having spent 30 yrs teaching all aspects of this I feel is a very honorable trade. Taught by an old machinist from Germany. I have recommended your website to my predecessor. She is young and needs lots of pointers that you can provide. I sincerely think that you have an approach to different topics she and her students can benefit from. We never stop learning!!
Quinn: "v blocks are great because they're flexible"
my cheap mill: "see, people like flexible things"
mine says the same thing!
Quinn, I watch a lot of youtube, so I'm confident when I say that you're one of the absolute BEST educators on this platform. It seems like you were born for this!
How do you only have 84.5K subscribers? I would have thought closer to 1M.
"And when you're done you have an art." 👏 😆
Handy tip: the less expensive your v-blocks, the more contact area you'll get on the round surface. :)
Yep you are destined to be a machine shop teacher. Great tutorial on how to hold things on the mill.
Quinn - I love your eloquent delivery of somewhat dense technical information - extremely well done!
Ron, have to totally agree with you,,,she has a lot to offer for us that are just starting to follow and learn machining. Only wished I her as a neighbor to drop in and school this ole 68 yr old newby,,,Bear in TX.
You know you've got a great channel when ron covell watches your videos.
Quinn, honestly, your lessons has been nothing short of amazing.
I really appreciate, thanks.
UA-cam Machinist violation detected: tapped down stock without saying "tappy tap tap". Citation written.
.....i read this entire comment in AvE's voice...
Good video, lots of information. I like to use a face plate on my lathe because it freaks out younger machinists. Lol
We appreciate _everything_ you do do.
Yeah we do. 😊
Haha dodo
Aww shucks 🥰
This one's worth at least a dozen re-watches, so much to learn-adapt-use straight from the video. Thanks, Quinn, as always! Super-useful!
This must be the 6th or 8th time that I've binge watched this series of mill skills _for dummies_ videos. Now that I've actually got my mini mill, they're simply *full* of those 'HaHa' moments that make them worthwhile to me. Thanks for taking me by the hand and leading me through the -streets of London- basics of milling. lol
I really appreciate you pulling your well indicated vise off the table to demo all the work holding methods. A project idea may be making a set of precision keys for your vise to key it into the table slot, and eliminate most of the indicating. That was the first thing I learned in industry and applied it to my home shop mill. Great informative video as always!👍👍👍
I was talking to a friend about that category of tool that "you don't use very often, but that once a year or so, you're VERY glad you have it".
I'm a simple man. I see a Blondihacks video and I click the thumbs up button.
0:18 Ahh, don't you just love when a "quick video" turns out to be 30 minutes short? I loved every minute of it! 🙂
“Quick” is increasingly a term of art rather than a fact. 😬
Yes.Yes I do.
some 10 min vids seem too long but with Quinn 30 went by wayyy too fast
@@MrBuck295 Always!
Luckily, "quick" is a relative term.
Quinn Dunki , You always give 110% Always , and that is no joke .
Quinn, you said that it really annoyed you to lose the space due to the DRO at certain times. Thanks for showing how to use that really nice fixture plate. Basically if I ever needed a rearward extension over the DRO bar: well now I 'd know how to do it! thanks.
The best set of the milling work holding tips for beginners delivered in a concise and creative manner. Thank you ma'am.
This is in my top 5 video list of videos that I’ve watched. They are not all done by you, but this list contain videos that radically changed the way I work. Thank you.
Freaking love your teaching videos. It should be required watching before buying tools, and that’s what I’m doing 😊
Slowly I am viewing all your videos. Very fond of your humor, and I appreciate all the thought you obviously put into your work. You are a natural teacher! Consider yourself given a virtual Apple. (It's an old tradition, giving your favorite teacher an apple.)
its allways a pleasure watch your videos....
Simply excellent!
Dr. B
More than okay with it being a tailstock, especially when it is used with a rotary table. If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck.......... Thanks for the great Ideas. I am a member of a FB group called Metal Lathe and when newcomers ask for advice they are generally directed to Blondi Hacks then Joe Pie and Mr.Pete as their skills ramp up.
"And there are a lot of cranky machinists" AMEN sista!
man the dry humor and knowledge is (not "are") priceless - my wife even enjoys watching this despite knowing zip about machining haha!
I'm a new hobby machinist in the process of restoring a small JET mill and I have to say your videos are very informative and fun to watch. Thank you.
That was SUPER interesting.
You are absolutely right Ron, it's Quinn's eloquence that makes her videos so enjoyable. Thank you Quinn for taking so much of your time.
When starting a new project, my brain is constantly in a design -> the tools I have -> how to fixture -> adjust design -> ... -loop. Lots of my designs have weird features left over just for fixtureing. Also, the order of operations can become important, since you remove or gain places to reference to or clamp on in the process. Love your videos for also showing the puzzle-part instead just chips \o/
For the soon to be rookie machinist, the fixturing made my heart go tapping tap tap😅
Newbie here. Really appreciate the excellent teaching of these concepts in a way I can understand.
I have to hand it to you. Your vids are concise, and super helpful. I learned several new things- The collet block blew my mind. Also learned the 3 points on round stock thing, and setup, clamping, and zero referencing on a mill. Mucho thanks!
Fixturing on the lathe adds up to more than 100%, since you left out turning between centers. I'm cool with it adding up to more than 100%.
I truly appreciate the work you put into the mill skills videos. Thank you.
I got my little mill a couple of months back (Proxxon MF70) And this video will help as I am still learning... All I can really make is shenanigans and/or scrap metal :D Mostly my vise and fixture plates screwing things up so this will be great! Thank you!
Dude, this was invaluable.
Your videos feel like a much-appreciated gift. I can't tell you how valuable my daily excursions into your archives are.
As a mechanical designer, I have learned quickly that the fastest way to make a part cost skyrocket is to make it hard to fixture. Small size, weird angles, etc. and that cranky machinist will make YOU cranky when you see the invoice.
I’ve been on a clamping quest lately, and you’ve just given me more ideas. Thanks Quinn?
You are an excellent instructor, Quinn, working from a great depth of knowledge. Thank you.
Are there any other females doing machining? I was just wondering if I’m the only one following Quinn?
Quinn you are a master at instructional videos. Thank you for your time.
I like the series. Simple and builds on previous ones. If I had the tools and the room for them, this would be so great. So many of us wannabe machinests out here.
Just finished this series (and found you on YT) and I just want to say thank you. I mean my wallet won't be thanking you but once I'm making my own "art" I'll be thanking you even more. 🙌
Thank you for your videos Quinn, my interest in my decades long hobby has been rekindled!
Great Video ! Funny I once worked with a" master machinist" who couldn't think outside the vise .
Very good communications Quin!!
yjis video is excellent we havent went over any of these holding technigues yet, your putting me ajead of the curve
Thanks for the humour and excellent descriptions, camera work and explanations.
Better and better, Quinn. So much fun to watch!
Thanks well done !please make a video on the rotary table when you have time.
"Quick" *looks at 30mins timer... i love blondie's long videos, they are a breeze to watch !!! thanks
Thank you Quinn, I'm quite experienced on the mill, and I still learnt from this 😀
I found this VERY informative. I love those table clamps you designed and made.
Hello Quinn. This is soooooo beneficial I love how you deliver scientific info in a simple manner
I love and appreciate you and your vise-removing proclivities, Quinn! 🥰
Excellent instruction as always
Thank you for this !
Lol...you tell em ma'am! I HATE moving my vise, heck i bought anouther mill just so i wouldnt HAVE to! Your the best :)
Thanks Quinn, some good tips there - particularly looking at ways to adapt the fixture stuff you have on hand.
BTW, I've never met a cranky machinist - they've always been too busy :)
One of the many challenges of learning this hobby is how to hold stuff.
Well done
hope u get mill subs, u deserve it.
I spend as much time watching this, as I am denoting new things I need to buy or make for my set up.
Congratulations, blond girl. I appreciate your job. I watch most of your videos, I am from Brazil
I learned a lot from your video even though I have used several of these tools. Thank you for this level of delightful detail. I would love to know more on the dos and don'ts of the rotary table. I am sad that the algorithm isn't working for you, because your channel content rocks!
Great video Quinn!
Terrific video Quinn. Some twenty years ago I work for a machine tool company as a software developer. We programmed our A axis as a linear axis . You specified the diameter of the part and then just programmed as if it were a flat surface X and A. This turned out to be used extensively with people who cut roll dies, but you could also use it to engrave on a round surface.
I know a machinist who has small locating pins in his mill table to locate his vice and fixture plates so he doesn't have to tram them in each time.
Excellent explanation. Thank you
This was super helpful and gave me some new ideas. I also liked the frenemy reference LOL.
Thanks again for another informative and entertaining video. Most all I know about using a lathe came from watching your lathe series. I recently purchased a mini mill and enjoy these videos as well. You are an excellent teacher.
This is a GREAT video!
Thanks for making it. Some very clever methods here.
Btw, right in the middle of watching this, my cat jumped up off the floor and landed on the keyboard. The next thing I know the video is playing at 2X the normal speed and Blondiehacks is chattering away like a chipmunk.
Unintentionally HILARIOUS!
It's crazy how often I watch your videos then head straight to ebay :D
Really excellent! Solid education, and fun to boot!
Very informative Quinn and put over well. Many thanks for sharing.
Wow, so much good stuff in this video, and I'm not even talking about the jokes. Had not even considered the superpowers of the vise! Thanks Quinn!
Thank you Quinn. This was most informative and fun to watch as always.
Great video Quinn! Lots of great information here! Gotta be creative! Really helpful suggestions! Thanks so much!
You are such an amazing teacher. Thank you.
Really excellent for everybody,thanks Quin
Quinn, thanks for making this video & series. You share _many_ good ideas/techniques for beginners.
If someone purchases a rotary table, it's often very useful if the rotary table can also use the chuck from your lathe. I've seen a lot of parts go from the lathe in the chuck to the mill and back again without losing registration.
Always learning !! Great thinking out of the box ! Thank you very much for your post. You are the best.
great information that experienced machinists may take for granted but beginners would otherwise learn the hard way.
Aww dang this pops up and I have to wait til this evening to watch! #fwp
I'm just getting started with machine work. Lots of interesting ideas here. Thanks!
Love this series so much! Thank you!
I have seen a fixture on a hobby lathe where the work piece was attached to the cross slide and the cutting tool fitted to the spindle, this allowed a limited milling option on the lathe. So by adding an adjustable fixture the height became adjustable too, Myford lathes manufacture all these fixtures for their lathes.
Yes my 108 year old Drummond has a milling slide from Myford', the original Drummond slide is a hens teeth rare item .
Limited travel but if you take your time it works for the patient.
As Quinn says it's a hangover from the days when small mills were rare.
Very good overview even for experienced machinists. It's easy to be focused on a job and forget tooling and techniques that would make it easier.
Thanks. I appreciate the way you approach these things. I had to convert a sink drain without overflow into one with, and succeeded largely through slowing down, and using sacrificial parts andit all worked out great.
Another thing to note is that when you have round stock in a colletblock you can take the colletblock off the mill and put it in the lathe. Just put the entire block in your Chuck. When you're done with your lathe work, then you can take it and put it back in the mill to continue milling without losing any of your orientation 😁🤗👍
Wow! You covered so much information in half an hour. Your explanation of clamping options was from simple to complex. Thank you. But now, it begs the question (since I have a rotary table I barely know how to use) when are you going to give us the same treatise for Rotary Table use?
This video is super helpful with many ideas I probably wouldn’t have come up with myself.
Thank you so much. 👍😇
despite 0 need for one your vids makes me want to get a mill..just to try out all your cool instruction vids
18:05.... AARRRRRRGGGHHH!!! I know you would have done this if you were machining and not teaching... But, that gap will cause me to loose sleep tonight lol. Great videos tho. you have been a GREAT help!
Excellent lesson again. You are an excellent instructor.
Thinking outside the vice and then all the pother bits that can be used and then combinations and... fantastic mind opening stuff. I learnt lottz. And I bet several others did too even the old grizzly bearded machinists that have cutting oil in the veins... keep it up you doing a grand job.
Brilliant explanation - clear and comprehensive. Thanks!
