I don't know a fitting word to describe it, but that threading fit was so satisfying, my stomach was in knots. Seeing something done right, down to the last detail is so rare, in my experience. It is beyond relief, to the point of relaxation, in a way that surprises me every time. This intersection of form and function, utility and artistry, power and precision, is positively entrancing. I especially enjoy when you add titles that identify the different tools and components being used in an operation, as it gives more depth and substantial references, and provides further education opportunities to accompany the entertainment. I never knew how interesting machining could be, and only wish I could have discovered your channel sooner. Thanks for being the way you are, and doing what you do.
"...safety glasses on and pucker up." Put that on one of your t-shirts and I'll buy it. (From one of your fans who knows nothing about metal working, but really appreciates your instruction.)
Hey Adam. I always look forward to SNS because of the varied content. Brilliant videos. Beats anything on satellite TV on a Saturday night. Keep them coming.
I’m a woodworker. Initially I wanted to see the shaper, but stayed to watch you make the stud. totally appreciate your craft. subscribed to watch more of what you do.
Great one Adam. I find myself addicted to your videos, even though I don't know how to do most of what you are doing. I'm learning so much from you-thanks for sharing your talents with so many complete strangers like me!
Adam, you are looking good buddy!! You have definitely lost some more weight, (I have talked to you on Patreon, different name on there, I lost 320 pounds). It is so nice to watch someone who has real pride in their work, thank you for sharing.
Those "Abom79" & "G&E" sight glasses are awesome. I can't believe you didn't show the shaper finish cutting to the end! I was dying to see that final cut. Awesome though.
I massively appreciate that you constantly go back to your sources to quote accurate information. UA-cam has far too many content creators that mean well, but impart incorrect or out of context information. I've learned a ton just between you, AvE and This Old Tony. You keep making 'em, I'll keep watching 'em!
ive learned a lot from all of em too, but i also watch chrisfix cause im a car guy, but machining and this kind of stuff is great to learn career wise, and if you need to cobble up some bootleg shit for when you need it to do something that there isnt a tool for
Shapers are amazing machine tools which, sadly, are largely forgotten. Nobody can watch this beast in action and not be delighted by the calm, cool, and easy efficiency.
"Get your safety glasses on and pucker up!" A saying like that is sure hard to beat! :) It's so satisfying and sort of therapeutic to watch this old machine slicing through steel like butter.
Many years ago I mounted a dumore grinder on a GE shaper to sharpen HSS chipper blades. It was slow but worked. You have both. Great work. Keep your tool cool.
Another very interesting SNS, thank you Adam. Love watching that big shaper move metal. Interesting to see the liquid N2 shrink fit, another good solid repair ready to go.
Adam: Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them very much. Great combination you provide for us, technical, humor, great video technique and great narration.
I used to use a shaper similar to this to make the tools that polished eyeglass lenses it was really powerful and really low speed. I loved that machine. There's just something magical about removing all that metal in slow motion.
I did not understand why anyone would want to use a shaper when they had a big mill. Having seen that shaper at work, now I do. Great videos, trouble is I have to sit up to 3am to watch them as soon as they are published :-)
Adam, I think it’s getting close to the ultimate shaper depth of cut showdown between yourself and the good Mr Summers. That would be a laugh, like the good old tap wrench measuring contest. Cheers mate
Great work.. also, your shaper chips are awesome, just like the ones that impressed you in the book you had when you were 15. Must be pretty satisfying to do that. Your shaper seems very powerful and didn't struggle at all.
My Dad had Firth Sterling stock and when I was very young. One of two things happened, I can't recall. Either he threw a big tantrum when the co went bankrupt; or, the company got bought out and he got to do the superior dance having made a lot of money on the buyout. I really cannot recall which! Those sight lenses were a terrific, very thoughtful gift!!
I'd love to see a video where you explain your technique for stopping the longitudinal feed and withdrawing the tool simultaneously at just the right moment at the end of a thread. Thank you for your videos - highly educational.
G & E is getting a head of steam up now. Never occurred to me it really is an interrupted cut. Guess the tool would have different requirements than regular old M2. The more you know, the more you know you don''t know. Nice repair on the platen. I wonder how many machines have a had a piece in the jaws of the ole Monarch. If it had a notch in it for each one, there probably wouldn't be anything left! Real nice SNS, I always leave here having learned a few things. Thanks as always, for making my Saturday a little nicer.
That shaper has incredible power. Impressive chips. Almost hypnotic watching the cuts! Tool sure got hot. Great bit of work footage. Lovely boring and bushing job. Did wonder whether the internal thread would have gotten a bit tight even after the expansion with temp normalization... ahhh - saw the end where it looked perfect. :)
This reminds me when I worked on the shaper, I've done some serious busines too, 20mm depth of cut with 0.35 feed, with HSS tool. We had coolant installed on the machine, oh the smell, I loved it man! Thanks for the reminder of how awesome these machines are!
Wow excellent content this week Adam, love seeing the shaper tweaked in and really kickin' butt like it was built to do - that is one beast of a machine from back in the day I can really see the fascination with it. I guess many today see it as old and too slow for production type work but damn it really has some heavy grunt behind it when it comes to taking big cuts, hope to see more from it. And again, same with this weeks repair job, that was a first rate fix from my end. You must get so much satisfaction using your years of experience and skill to execute such a thorough and professional repair on something so beaten and abused by endless hard production work. I know youre dad and grand dad are looking down with pride on how well youve continued the generations of skilled machine work, you really entertain all of us on this end as well, its not hard to understand the popularity of your channels, among the best vids on YT, im goin' back for a second view-lol - best wishes from the midwest.
You bet, also appreciate the effort you put into expanding the variety in each video as well - your tour of the blast furnace facility was also a real treat.
Yup, chip control is a bit of challenge on shapers. But I love the sound when they hit the pan-floor-wall.... Ting, thing, ting...!!! Thanks Adam, wonderful video....!!!
Another very cool vid Adam ! That G & E is just humming along man. Hey that tool post grinder reminded me of an accident we had 25 years ago, the operator set up the drive belts incorectly and instead of 2000 rpm it fired up at 6 or 7 times that speed and exploded. He lost 4 teeth and is permanently scarred. Lucky he isint blind too. But that grinder got put away and was never seen again. I assume the new ones can't be set up wrong like that anymore. Another great video dude...thanks again. Mike...
Yes they can be. You MUST install the correct pulleys for the diameter wheel your running. You always turn it on and walk away and wait at least a minute with it running before you approach it. Have all guarding installed before you flip the switch, and make sure you eye and face protection is on. I've had two wheels explode because I was running the wrong pulleys. I learned to check, then double check. Turn it on, then walk away. You can even throw a fire blanket over it for the first minute as another safety factor. Grinding is safe, if you do as your supposed to. No different then surface grinders and tool grinders.
In the late 50's I went to Don Bosco Technical High School in Boston, MA. The Machine Shop class was supported by Gillette Razor Company and Boston Gear Company. One of the books that was provided was a small book published for in house use By Boston Gear. It explained all the different types and grades of tool steel and what was the best application for their use. I don't know if any are still around but the book really provided a great in depth treatise on the tool bits of the era.
These small books by manufacturers, vendors, and trade schools are great resources of information without needing a full book like the Machinery's Handbook. I have a few of these by steel companies (stock lists), fastener vendors, even the Starrett catalog is a really good source of information. I keep an eye out for these at yard sales and auctions. Sadly, thanks to the internet, most of these aren't published anymore. Thankfully, most of the information provided never goes out of date, so even a reference from the 50's-60's can still be useful.
I’ve started my Degree in CNC and I want to say if I could go back I wouldn’t change a thing so far we’ve been working on some old Bridgeport manual machines making baby chips compared to yours and I can’t wait to start in a shop similar to yours thank you for tons of information that helps further my career
Another outstanding episode! It's not a wonder you have 169K subscribers. Your vids are so engaging on multiple levels. The camera images are so incredible clear. Pacing of subject matter is perfect and you don't resort to just fast forwarding through sections of repetition, rather you edit out. Even the photos at the end of episode are crystal clear, see 35:51. Commentary during the vids is just right, thank goodness you don't feel it necessary to blather on. You let the camera do the talking. I must say I thought you were going to be trouble when the bushing was ordered with a 4 thousand interference fit. No problem to shrink it but would the stud still screw in once bushing was at room temperature in the base. From an armchair machinist you make life great. Appreciate very much the work you put in generating and sharing your vids. Keep up the excellent work!
I've been using Rex 95 bits on my shaper for over forty years. They hold an edge well and only resharpen for the finish cuts.We cut 2-1/2" to 3" wide x 6"-8" long keyway slots with 1/2" Rex 95 tools all the time. Good stuff. I think they hold an edge better then MoMax but mainly they will take the heat when sharpening.
My dad liked Rex 95 and I have many of therm around the shop. I just don't have the right size for the shaper. If I come across a good one on ebay I'll pick it up.
Wow I am more amazed that the monster of a vice held on to the piece of steel.I was waiting to see if the off cut steel would slide out. Once again great video THANK YOU
Awesome Machine. Toolmaker here from germany, we use a shaper since 40 years for the rough cutting if there is more than 20mm to get rid of before finishing on the mill. Its set up in 2 minutes and while its slowly making huge chips you can do something else instead of standing next to the mill otherwise. Something like x155CrMoV12 is no problem at all and the big toolbit will last long anyways. You will find those shapers in good condition for almost nothing and i would advise anyone that has the space and need for rough cuts to buy one. You won't regret it.
@@ginansl361 Sehr gut, wenn Du es mal im Blut hast, kannst Du wirklich alles fertigen, das Dir in den Sinn kommt. Wenn es ums Geld verdienen geht, ist der Job in DE zwar nichts mehr wert, aber im Ausland sehr gefragt. Wenn es dich wirklich reizt, dann stell Dir am besten Deine eigene Werkstatt zusammen. Gebrauchte Fräsen und Drehbänke gibt's mit den alten Philips 432 CNC Steuerungen für relativ wenig Geld. So hab ich mir nebenher relativ viel Geld verdient. Kleinserien für diverse Firmen hergestellt und natürlich jeden erdenklichen Mist privat gebaut. Von Kolben für nen GT3 RS bis zur Kippen-drehmaschine. Irgendwie fängt die Leidenschaft für den Beruf erst mit der eigenen Werkstatt an...
I was wondering if that chunk of acrylic I sent made it to you! Not nearly as cool as Eric's custom made Sight glass's but Toss it in the stash pile and maybe someday it will be of use!
Wanted to tell you that my father was a machine operator he work for Schweitzer Cummings of Indiana gun parts for Allison's parts for the turbines and other things I like what you do because it keeps my father live knowing that he loved the thing that he loved which was a machine operator I still have some of his old Mike's daddy used to have thanks once again for keeping my father alive for what you do
Now that shaper can make some chips! The fly cutter mill bits are impressive for covering ground, but I love the pure chunks that thing can take with each pass. Great Video, thanks for sharing!
Hey Adam, Love your videos! I was a machinist for 4 yrs. in Pa. I now live in Colorado. It was interesting to see you get the shaper out of York Pa. I used to live about 40 minutes from York. I will probably be moving back to Pa. soon to be closer to family. Keep up the good work! Mark
I'm always looking in the background on video in your shop - shops fascinate me! Have you considered a series to show viewers all your cool stuff? If not, just keep doing what you're doing - such great videos!
6 років тому+3
Had a good laugh at 1¼" to 1.250" (metric) explanation! I would expect this from ToT, but you caught me off guard here :D
It is great to watch a skilled tradesman. The sad thing is we are heading for a shortage of skilled trades that can use conventional tool room equipment.
The Talent I had a buddy from India ask me once “are you torquing that in standard foot pounds or metric foot pounds”? I just laughed because he was such a good guy and I knew what he meant.
I would like to see you make a video discussing grades of tool steel and carbide and their applications. Also Adam, I gave up on milling flame cuts like you sad I got tired of destroying end mills. Thanks for this content.
8:48 Right at an inch and a quarter, for you metric guys thats 1.250 inches... Comedy gold. Thanks Adam :-)

subscribed to watch more of what you do.
These videos are more interesting to watch than nearly everything on TV or in the movies.
Great one Adam. I find myself addicted to your videos, even though I don't know how to do most of what you are doing. I'm learning so much from you-thanks for sharing your talents with so many complete strangers like me!
I see why people have shapers now, it's relaxing to watch those huge chips curl off the metal. I really like this video. Well done
Adam, you are looking good buddy!! You have definitely lost some more weight, (I have talked to you on Patreon, different name on there, I lost 320 pounds). It is so nice to watch someone who has real pride in their work, thank you for sharing.

Shapers are amazing machine tools which, sadly, are largely forgotten. Nobody can watch this beast in action and not be delighted by the calm, cool, and easy efficiency.
I could honestly watch it for 20 minutes straight and still be entertained.
"Get your safety glasses on and pucker up!" A saying like that is sure hard to beat! :) It's so satisfying and sort of therapeutic to watch this old machine slicing through steel like butter.
"For you metric guys, that's 1.250 inches." LOL! One of your best vids yet, Adam.
Yeah that’s a good one.
Really nice to see a You tuber that engages with the viewers with mail and on the comments. Your work as always is impeccable. 👍
what sfx software do you use to make those shaper cuts?
It's called text books, they even have pictures too!
Many years ago I mounted a dumore grinder on a GE shaper to sharpen HSS chipper blades. It was slow but worked. You have both.
Great work. Keep your tool cool.
Another very interesting SNS, thank you Adam. Love watching that big shaper move metal. Interesting to see the liquid N2 shrink fit, another good solid repair ready to go.
Another great SNS in the books. That shaper is a sweet machine, and always cool to see the machining work at Motion.
Thanks Gary!
I'm not a machinist and really enjoy your work I find it fascinating and look forward to Saturday's
Best machinist videos on youtube , excellent video quality , superb machining . Great stuff Adam
Adam, you can really see the weight loss, good for you I hope you can feel the difference!
I laughed out loud at 8:52, "...for you metric guys, that's 1.250 inches".
Jebus man, that shaper is hardcore, really does not ask twice, it just goes.
Adam: Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them very much. Great combination you provide for us, technical, humor, great video technique and great narration.
At 19:00 I wanted to see the last bit of material removed. My life seems incomplete now. Haha!
I used to use a shaper similar to this to make the tools that polished eyeglass lenses it was really powerful and really low speed. I loved that machine. There's just something magical about removing all that metal in slow motion.
There is so much to like in Abom79 videos. This one I particularly like the repair. It is so clear that Adam is doing it right. Really right!
"Put the safety glasses on and pucker up" No kidding, I was "puckered up" just watching this beast eat steel like it was butter.
Eric....
🌟🌟🌟🌟 on the sight glasses!!!
Well done !!!!!
I did not understand why anyone would want to use a shaper when they had a big mill. Having seen that shaper at work, now I do. Great videos, trouble is I have to sit up to 3am to watch them as soon as they are published :-)

Love seeing failed repairs get redesigned and upgraded to not fail again
Great work.. also, your shaper chips are awesome, just like the ones that impressed you in the book you had when you were 15. Must be pretty satisfying to do that. Your shaper seems very powerful and didn't struggle at all.
thank you Adam really injoy all of your videos and appreciate you taking the time to make and share them with us

Great bit of work footage. Lovely boring and bushing job. Did wonder whether the internal thread would have gotten a bit tight even after the expansion with temp normalization... ahhh - saw the end where it looked perfect. :)
I think it's time to thank your boss for allowing you to vid some of your projects at work again.
Yeah glad he can film at work again.

Just what I’ve been waiting to see, some Abom size chips from the G&E, it’s a beast.
Yeah those chips were awesome. 3/4" by .020 I think.
Its really cool to see you take great pride in your work, I enjoy the videos Adam, thank you

“Inch and a quarter, for you metric guys thats one point two five zero inches..” hahaha
MyDude lol
Nope.... it's 31.75mm ho ho ho
"Inch and a quarter, that's 1.25" for you metric folks."
Made me laugh.
My man, You are looking great everything you're doing is working. Keep at it
Always nice when the internal thread fits after the interference fit on the OD. Nice job!
Yup, chip control is a bit of challenge on shapers. But I love the sound when they hit the pan-floor-wall.... Ting, thing, ting...!!! Thanks Adam, wonderful video....!!!
Abom: "Right on inch and a quarter. For you metric guys, that's one point two five oh."
Me: lolololololol
You are a great machinist and engineer. Thank you for your painstaking work more grease to your elbow
Weight program is working looking good keep up the great work. Thanks for the videos.
You do amazing work!! Beautiful craftsmanship!! It's not common to see something done to last - Like you all are doing!!
Beautiful work Adam
Another very cool vid Adam !
That G & E is just humming along man. Hey that tool post grinder reminded me of an accident we had 25 years ago, the operator set up the drive belts incorectly and instead of 2000 rpm it fired up at 6 or 7 times that speed and exploded. He lost 4 teeth and is permanently scarred. Lucky he isint blind too. But that grinder got put away and was never seen again. I assume the new ones can't be set up wrong like that anymore.
Another great video dude...thanks again. Mike...
Yes they can be. You MUST install the correct pulleys for the diameter wheel your running. You always turn it on and walk away and wait at least a minute with it running before you approach it. Have all guarding installed before you flip the switch, and make sure you eye and face protection is on. I've had two wheels explode because I was running the wrong pulleys. I learned to check, then double check. Turn it on, then walk away. You can even throw a fire blanket over it for the first minute as another safety factor. Grinding is safe, if you do as your supposed to. No different then surface grinders and tool grinders.
"For you metric guys, that's 1.250 inches." As a metric guy that cracked me up. I thought you were going to say what it was in millimeters...
Mo-Max is the best, Grinding tools is always a good way to learn grinding

Watching the shaper brought back so many memories. 40 year machinist here, but only ran a shaper in high school.
"1 inch and a quarter. For you metric boys, thats 1.250 inches" .... that made me laugh....
nubix i loved that.
Gold!
LMFAO! Just here to make the same comment and of course @nubix beat me to it!!!
X 25.4 would be a good addition
Congratulations Adam, your job Is very well, a men of many experience, greetings from Mexico.
Love those Abom size chips. You be the Chip King.
A true professional
I’ve started my Degree in CNC and I want to say if I could go back I wouldn’t change a thing so far we’ve been working on some old Bridgeport manual machines making baby chips compared to yours and I can’t wait to start in a shop similar to yours thank you for tons of information that helps further my career
Your are a pleasure to watch. Great machinist
What the heck Adam! Cut the money shot @ 18:59 . That while cut I was waiting to see that last chip get rolled off! :)
True master of the art!!!! I c ur pride and workmanship. Good qualities u hardly c nowadays.
Now this is a man that knows what he's doing. I'd love to have that knowledge. Full respect from aus.

Wow I am more amazed that the monster of a vice held on to the piece of steel.I was waiting to see if the off cut steel would slide out. Once again great video THANK YOU
@18:00 That's some serious chips there... There is the answer to all asking why a shaper...Nice!!!!!
What the heck, man. I was eagerly awaiting the last ridge of metal to disappear at 19:00 and you ended the shot! That was cruel!.
It was getting pushed over instead of being cut. At the end of the video you see it it one big piece after being removed somehow.
Always love the videos. Brings me back to my younger years when I worked in a welding machine shop.
So glad you mentioned Steve. I found his videos before yours, if I'm honest; but you two have my votes for Machinist channels!
Excellent video! Thank you for doing this and showing a great way to fix such an unimaginable problem.
Adam, you are looking great......can see the weight loss and it looks great...,well done
Was great to see how much Consideration you get from your viewers
Awesome Machine. Toolmaker here from germany, we use a shaper since 40 years for the rough cutting if there is more than 20mm to get rid of before finishing on the mill.

Hey Adam, Love your videos! I was a machinist for 4 yrs. in Pa. I now live in Colorado. It was interesting to see you get the shaper out of York Pa. I used to live about 40 minutes from York. I will probably be moving back to Pa. soon to be closer to family. Keep up the good work! Mark
Love your videos man. Always a pleasure watching you work
My absolute favorite channel!
I'm always looking in the background on video in your shop - shops fascinate me! Have you considered a series to show viewers all your cool stuff? If not, just keep doing what you're doing - such great videos!
Had a good laugh at 1¼" to 1.250" (metric) explanation! I would expect this from ToT, but you caught me off guard here :D
Armandas Jarušauskas - I laughed pretty hard at that as well.
Man, my thoughts exactly about ToT! I absolutely laughed out loud on that one.
I’m not a This Old Tony, but I’m known to pull off a funny once in a while. 👍🏻
Man that shaper doesn’t give a single fuck what you throw at it. What a machine
It is great to watch a skilled tradesman. The sad thing is we are heading for a shortage of skilled trades that can use conventional tool room equipment.
Nice cut on the shaper. Nice machine work.
Thanks Randy!
8:50 thanks for the metric conversion. Hahaha! would a decimal conversion be said in millimetres?

I had a buddy from India ask me once “are you torquing that in standard foot pounds or metric foot pounds”? I just laughed because he was such a good guy and I knew what he meant.
I would like to see you make a video discussing grades of tool steel and carbide and their applications. Also Adam, I gave up on milling flame cuts like you sad I got tired of destroying end mills. Thanks for this content.
Well done. Another great SNS. Those shaper chips where awesome!
