the reason why your videos are so fascinating is because your works is a combination of CNC and manual work , unlike other channels, which never do the job like you do!
Peter, do you think you will ever be able to show us you actually machining the parts again? The parts you are machining now would be awesome to watch you machine. We all miss watching and learning from you!!
Wonderful! I find the bit where you duck into the machine after every tool change to Yoink! the tool and replace it with a different one exceedingly amusing during the sped up sections. lol Machine be like: I'ma change to tool seven. Pete be like: Yoink! Then Machine be like: Damn...
I'm not sure what scared me more. When the dovetail cutter ran into the part or when your finger was close to the face mill. BTW, wife said that her gynecologist has a similar tool. :D
number40Fan it’s like watching someone peeling an apple with a very sharp knife. It’s only scary for the person watching because they have no control over the process.
Thanks again for posting sir. Thought about you today while reading the H-Chron article about the bankruptcy of the company that had the explosion the other day near your home...
Micro-grain carbide measuring points indeed happy words. Some unintentional feed rate. ya cool project, either that or the tipy tips of your fingers and the telescoping gauges. good to hear all the machines goin. don't have a big blue e anymore its a swirly thing that misguides me hard to find my youtube regulars
thanks for the heart stoppers... i would have been demonetized, not that i am to begin with. but still paying on my machines i curse and fire myself for a good 20 minutes before i get back to work. probably seems trivial but if you could throw in some captions of the feeds, speeds, sfm or rpm you use it would be a great reference for someone like me. not that i could just plug them into something but even ball parks helps. the saw, keyway cutter and dovetail tools made me think about it. thanks for showing the process, really is more important than what you are machining.
As an apprentice there was a repeat job in ally that was very thin 80 thou 2"x5" so used 1/8"stock The others used double sidetape on the mill bed but their mills had power feed....I launched a few bits with too bigger fly cut and hand feed as my bridge port had none lol but i got them done and learnt lol
Peter, A friend told me about your channel. You have great content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge to all. You course you are going to suck up a lot of my time.
Fantastic video, again. Including whoopsies. I'm assuming the new Gage arms are for measuring the width of that (?) keyway like slot deep in the end of that incredibly complex, read damn expensive, art-i-fact! Thanks for the slow pan view. Thanks Peter, love em all.
You say that you need a support to balance the jaws for a part gripped off-center on "this kind of a vise". Does that mean that there is a kind of vise that would balance itself, gripping a part similarly?
All vises suffer from this. But it might be a little more important with a Kirt style vise because the only thing preventing jaw rack is the fit of the moving jaw in the slot. If this is a little loose the moving jaw will rack or swivel a little with all the pressure on one side. Every vise style has its strong points. The Kirt style is very good at keeping the moving jaw from rising due to clamp pressure, but not so good for this. It's just something to be aware of.
Maybe a toolmakers vise with multiple slide channels would twist less. Especially if the "corner point" is between the two slides? No idea where to buy one like that, though. Might need to make it...
there are some vises that can clamp offcenter but as far as i know they are specialty jobs and i can't think of a brand off the top of my head, but they're out there. i think they are mostly used in edm machines i should get one now that i am thinking of it.
another awesome(in the real meaning of the word.... im a brit!) video; ive watched all of your vids and theyve taught, and made me think so much about machining! plus i can go to my boss and say " this is why dumbass ... now buy me a decent machine.!"
This part is actually just a test from the customer to see how good they are for the real stuff afterwards, they don't have any use for this part at all.
I use program it in cam to use the cuter comp in the control. That way I set the diameter (Radius on this machine) in the offset. Or are you meaning the depth in the Z axis? In that case I always program in cam the bottom face of the tool. Than I touch off on this face.
have you used anything from fowler recently? or are the mics you use all pre-offshoring? i don't think they are worth it anymore. also i loved how you faced it with the dovetail cutter.
You are going to have to try harder if you want to put together video length compilation of crashes and oppsies :) It's all too easy to let down our guard. The work you do isn't conducive to multi tasking things like camera angles, continuity and is the camera on, with precision machining and carrying setting in your head. Makes me all the more appreciative that you take it on. I can't even play music in the back ground doing this stuff.
That is not quite true. Look up: Solid Rock Machine Shop, Shannon HKW, Suburban Tool Inc, Stephan Gotteswinter & ROBRENZ, There is hours of grinding tutorials, grinding tips and set ups between them. For grinding, I recomend that order.
If you are speaking about the title that's the way Gage Maker spells their name. There are also actually two different accepted ways to spell this word, if that means anything.
the reason why your videos are so fascinating is because your works is a combination of CNC and manual work , unlike other channels, which never do the job like you do!
Always thinking outside of the box! That is why I click on an edge precision video as soon as I get the notification!
👌👌
Peter, as you may be able to tell...I am Bing Watching your Videos...about 2 a day...Great Education...Gracias Amigo!!!
This is like having the coolest boss, who never makes you work, just teaches you cool stuff - and you never have to leave home, or put on shoes!
Thanks for sharing your goof! It's heartening to know that even the legends make mistakes.
Peter, do you think you will ever be able to show us you actually machining the parts again? The parts you are machining now would be awesome to watch you machine. We all miss watching and learning from you!!
Always fun watching guys learn how to do things.
THANK YOU for showing the crash! It makes me feel that we're both human :-)
Wonderful! I find the bit where you duck into the machine after every tool change to Yoink! the tool and replace it with a different one exceedingly amusing during the sped up sections. lol
Machine be like: I'ma change to tool seven.
Pete be like: Yoink!
Then Machine be like: Damn...
I love the addition of the piano accordion at 28:57 nice tough :-)
I'm not sure what scared me more. When the dovetail cutter ran into the part or when your finger was close to the face mill.
BTW, wife said that her gynecologist has a similar tool. :D
I always cringe when I see a finger that close to a spinning cutter...except my own.
number40Fan 😂
number40Fan it’s like watching someone peeling an apple with a very sharp knife. It’s only scary for the person watching because they have no control over the process.
Thanks for the interesting video and commentary. Fancy manual machine you have there :)
Thanks again for posting sir. Thought about you today while reading the H-Chron article about the bankruptcy of the company that had the explosion the other day near your home...
I am aware of the balance on vise, but never thing like you just show, with adjustable screw for balance, like always, thank you so much Peter.
Nice home made extensions. I have a similar Pratt and Whitney set of attachments for a bore gauge.
Pete you have a awesome job, I know you enjoy what you do everyday.😁👍🇺🇸

well done THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE. regards from the windy u.k.

Another awesome video, thanks for taking the time to post them.
Nicely done.
Thanks for the video.
Ohh! You made me jump and frantically look for the e-stop on my iPad for a split second there.
I like that gagemaker, May have to get one, i see many uses.
Who needs to program when you can just jog wheel the whole job.
As always a great and very informative video Sir.
Amazing work, very creative!

Thanks Terry!
Incredible work as always Peter.
That part is crazy
Great Video ! Its So Good It Made My Head Hurt .
Once again I feel like an under grad auditing a graduate level course.
Nice work Peter!
ATB, Robin
Thanks Robin!
Fantastic video, again.
Including whoopsies.

Thanks Peter, love em all.
this doesn't have to be perfect.... proceeds to shoot for 0.001" accuracy :) Love ya Peter!

Effective Human-Machine collaboration.

Nice Job Maestro!
Honestly... ART!
Nice part/tool!
WoW You are the BEST
...super práce, mega Arbeit👏👏, ok👉 👍✊✊ 🙋
This part is actually just a test from the customer to see how good they are for the real stuff afterwards, they don't have any use for this part at all.
Your the man Pete
Now the trick is remember this measuring tool for something down the road 👍😨
How come such an old machine has so quiet and smooth spindle? Have you restored it?
No. I did have the taper reground in it though. This machine is a integral spindle motor. The spindle is the motors shaft.
@@EdgePrecision this is a great machine. I have a hitachi seiki with a same kind of spindle, yours much quieter
Mad skills as always.
How do you judge your depth of cuts on slitting saws? Thanks Peter.
I use program it in cam to use the cuter comp in the control.
That way I set the diameter (Radius on this machine) in the offset. Or are you meaning the depth in the Z axis? In that case I always program in cam the bottom face of the tool. Than I touch off on this face.
Its great to see you make small parts on such a large machine. Did that machine shop explosion cause any problems for you? Sure hope not.
have you used anything from fowler recently? or are the mics you use all pre-offshoring? i don't think they are worth it anymore. also i loved how you faced it with the dovetail cutter.
19:28 I can feel you cursing in this long silence
19:24 happens to the best of us.
Do you every get work or offers to quote based on your UA-cam channel?
Great vídeo Peter. How do you touch off tools on the horizontal?
Jordan D I use a Speroni tool setter. I have shown it in other videos.
After that dovetail crash all the sudden noises had me spooked. Do you take those slitting saw cuts in a single pass? Rubberband to the rescue.
You would get twist on those arms.
Yes but because its a reference gauge all it has to be is repeatable twist at the set dimension.
My question is who milled into the tombstone? I know it wasn’t Peter. Or was it?
As Forest Gump says Shit happens.
Just about fouled my breaches at 23:05 when the coolant spooled up.
You are going to have to try harder if you want to put together video length compilation of crashes and oppsies :)
It's all too easy to let down our guard.
The work you do isn't conducive to multi tasking things like camera angles, continuity and is the camera on, with precision machining and carrying setting in your head.
Makes me all the more appreciative that you take it on.
I can't even play music in the back ground doing this stuff.
hi, have you tried grinding on the machine?
ua-cam.com/video/QUhnEnQqo8c/v-deo.html
No I have never ground anything in this machine.
Can you make a video about grinding? There are no videos on UA-cam.
That is not quite true.
Look up:
Solid Rock Machine Shop,
Shannon HKW,
Suburban Tool Inc,
Stephan Gotteswinter &
ROBRENZ,
There is hours of grinding tutorials, grinding tips and set ups between them.
For grinding, I recomend that order.
19:28 whoopsie...
First!!!
Gauge...
If you are speaking about the title that's the way Gage Maker spells their name. There are also actually two different accepted ways to spell this word, if that means anything.
very good video... thanks for your time
