This is the only channel I hit "Like" before actually watching the video, and I've not regretted it once.
YUP
Ohhh so true!!!!!!!
Same here. I did the same!
Hey, wait, you mean someone following Clickspring actually doesn't do that ? !!!
Every time!
Can't get enough of your videos... Time for a big project!
It' a real testament to your craft that even the most simple tools you make are beautiful.
This never gets old. Thanks Chris 👍
I wonder if I might suggest that this could be considered a category of art. Thank you for sharing
The final result looks so perfect it almost looks like cgi when cutting
I am always amazed at the tooling you make. It functions and looks great!
Excellent as usual Chris. Thank you
Great Video, and the funky beats almost seem like a theme song to '70's or '80's action show...
the only other high speed steel tool video ive seen is by this old tony, i love seeing how your process is slightly different but with the same fundamentals.
i dont know anything about machining but i love these videos
This isn't High Speed Steel.
@MrCrispinEnterprises has some nice HSS grinding videos
you put more into your tooling than i put into my projects,
Chris, love the work.. As usual
Thank you mate, appreciate you watching :)
Oh so satisfying. Groovy tunes too!
Work of art.
👍👌👏 Aaand another perfect tool/device to be proud of!
Simply amazing!
new cyclemaster with fat tire sir will be amazing
Is the little container you put your part and boric acid in when heat treating made from aluminum or steel?
Love from Sarasota
belissimo trabalho,
If it's Chris it's like before watch!
Is that a lump of pumice the tool isrersting on in the tempering step?
Yes, my trusty little chunk o' pumice!
Hey Chris, what's the song in this video? I know you've used a variation or different portion of it in a lot of your other videos, here and I think on occasion on the main channel as well, I always hear it and get the urge to listen to the full version.
How big a forming tool can I use with a sherline mini lathe? I'm wanting to turn mild steel parts about 1.5-1.75" long using this method.
Can you share the recipe for the flux you used to prevent oxidation during hardening?
Powdered Boric Acid (note, not borax), mixed into a stiff paste with denatured alcohol - Cheers :)
@@ClickspringClips Perfect, that will be very useful!
У меня 2008 года фыж, в 2017 году мот проехал на левой дуге 160 метров. Стерся слайдер и слегка погнулась труба к которой крепится слайдер. Зато мот целый.
Отдельно потом заказал только левую сторону у армор байк, без вопросов отправили.
some day I dream of being able to make knobs like these. *sigh*.
What steel was used to make the cutter? Fabulous work as always!
Probably D2 tool steel but I could be mistaken...
I've just reviewed the original video and he does not say.
It's an oil quench so its probably the O1 tool steel he usually uses.
How do you know when to stop cutting? When all the blue has been cut off? Or did you use calipers off-camera?
When you get your machine zereod, you k ow exactly where the cutter is in terms of x/y location as well as z (depth height)
Calipers, then take note of the lathe feed measurement for repeatablility
Watching the blue disappear is just a sanity check. Good machinists always rely on the scales from the lathe/DRO
Looks like just a decorative part where the diameter wouldn't be critical so no need for calipers.
Nice music
Did it need hardening if you are only using it on brass ?
Of course - if you can make it so that the tool will last much much longer and require less maintenance to retain maximum performance, why not?
I'd say not needed. It looked like a piece of off the shelf tool steel that he started with.
We used common tool steel of similar sizes and shapes to produce form tools for multi spindle screw machines until the 80's.
We used those form tools daily to make 1000's of hydraulic fittings out of steel.
We never heat treated these tools. We would pull them out of the screw machines when dull and touch the cutting edges up on a grinder and then put them back in service for 1000's of more parts.
If your tool changes color while grinding to sharpen it you are letting it get too hot!
Eventually cnc machines replaced the old screw machines. All the screw machines we had were made during WW2 for war production. These machines were still running multi shifts a day up into the 80's which was 40 years since they were new!
Was that borax you were using in the ingot mold for heat treatment please?
He's using a mix of borax and methylated spirits (aka denatured alcohol) - something that can tolerate the temperature to avoid scale on the piece.
He has mentioned in previous videos that he encases any parts he is heat treating in borax to reduce scale formation and discolouration. An idea I am definitely going to steal.
Borax mixed with mineral spirits
Just to clarify, I use powdered Boric Acid, not borax. Similar, but not the same thing. They behave quite differently under heat, with Boric Acid being by far the better performer in terms of protection of the part, but also for removal of the glaze after quench (simply soak in boiling water) - Cheers to all :)
@@lukearam9812 NOT mineral spirits. It needs to be alcohol/ethanol mixed with the boric acid - see Clickspring's own comment
Clickspring, where even the form tools are highly polished.
The cleaner and crisper you get that cutting edge, the better it will cut and the better the resulting surface finish.
You know its clickspring when it has a mirror polish and its for the tools minimum standard quality gate not just for the UA-cam thumbnail
@ClickspringClips Plz plz never use AI, that would destroy all you have built up!!!
When the tool to make art is art in itself. I am not worthy
your initial cut made me so angry (comparatively) and then ..."oooooooh." why would I even think about doubting.
❤
I think you put more effort and care into your tool bits than most of the guy I know put into their whole job. I'm surprised that you didn't inlay some polished brass for the tool holder screws so they wouldn't mare the tool bit 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome work!!!
