Sir I just found your video and I had to write you. My daughter dose pottery and has been telling me she needs a pug mill, no not the ugly dogs, to grind up scrap clay and I had no idea how to do it. Now with your site she just might get one for Christmas. That saves about $4000. Thank you so much. Keep posting and God bless.
These calculators are all over the internet for calculating the flighting for screw augers yet they don’t match your results. Obviously yours is correct. Excellent video! Thanks.
Yes, I don't know why, but the one I used originally didn't seem to give the correct results and I also could not figure out how they'd arrived at the formula they used.
Thank you sooo much for sharing your formula! I worked in science and open source informations really allows people to achieve great stuff without big founding!!!! In todays money driven world a pure diamond:)
Namaskaram Dear sir, this video shaved me from confusion and faulty formulation as well as resources with time in R&D work. your spreadsheet is so precise, effortlessly we can find the exact OD & ID of the washers to make augers (screw bush). Thank you for your initiatives to this video and spreadsheet broadcasting.🙏
¡ Genios, Thankyou VM !. I was breaking muy head many times to make something like this !. Health for you and your people. Greeting from Córdoba, Argentina
Awesome Spreadsheet Andy, I used it several times now for different sizes and it works great. But I think I'm gonna send you a step drill for Christmas...lol
Excellent video thank you, a slightly different take on a screw conveyor. We often make them from a single piece of thin flat bar put in an appropriate round tube. One end of the flat bar is clamped in a vise and the other end twisted with a monkey wrench. The tubing helps keep it linear as you twist. The end result does not have the center spindle and hubs or stub shafts need to be welded on, but it works very well for granular delivery or chip conveyance.
I made one years ago. I didn’t know the math and I couldn’t even find it probably due to the words I Googled. I bought big washers from the hardware store, cut them and welded a few together. I then stretched them out and tried different round stock to find what fit. After that I drilled out the washers inner diameter larger to use a larger rod in the center. I then sanded down the outside until it fit into the pipe. 2 different approaches with the same results.
Sweet! I've been thinking about this for a long time, for an Arduino cat feeder. When I get the time this winter, I'll definitely give it a go. Thank you so much for the nice video, easy explanation and Excel program. Great job. Subscribed!
Awesome. Just a note from a farmer: the flighting on auger screws are rarely seam welded the length of the helix. More commonly I see a weld stitch once per turn of the helix. Good work anyway.
you could do it the old fashioned way. Hammer and anvil. Thin the outer edge and the steel strip curves itself into the spiral. Same tech approach is used in large production; two conical rollers do what the hammer does.
You win the prize! I'm surprised nobody got it sooner! Yes, the third way I was thinking of was just to take a flat strip and twist it into a spiral using a blacksmithing or similar method.
@@supersherpa2011 It's just the ID of the helix (diameter of the rod it will fit on) and the OD of the helix (total outer diameter) and the pitch determines how much it is stretched out.
@@AndysMachines That depth would definitely present more challenges for sure. I used 3/4 pipe and had to screw it together and unscrew it many times as I was extracting the dirt out of the hole...

You're right of course. Yes people tend to use the two terms interchangeably, but there is an important difference. Even manufactures of drills and taps describe them as having 'spiral flutes'.
Helical mower blades are something I've never made, and while they might look simple I'm sure there are probably design considerations I'm not aware of.

It's so generous of you to share the spreadsheet. You are clearly a good man.

Simple and straight to the point. Well done sir. I need to produce conveyors for my project. With this video am almost there. Thanks alot.

Great work, and sharing the spreadsheet like a boss. Well done, sir.
Your formula works great! I made a meat grinder , 5 hp motor. great for sausage making. Thank you sir!
Thank you so much we were working on a project and this was a quick response to our problem

Very ingenious, like the way you rotated the auger while welding it.
Great Video!.... and the spread sheet is fantastic. I used it calculate ID and OD to help manufacture a wood chip auger in a mill.
Cool. You should donate the guy a tip if you made money from that!

Really good info, well presented with a real professional voice. Thank You
That OD interrupted cut gave me chills knowing what that's doing to the cutter. At least it can be resharpened.
Yes, that's why I still often use HSS tooling over carbide.

Jesus christ dude YOU CREATED YOUR OWN FORMULA blew my fucking mind.
I am glad I have stumbled into this gem of a channel
You are a génius man !!! I realy look for that since years ! Thank you very much !
Just what I needed. I am making a briquette press. Thank you
Thank you so much, I'll use your spreadsheet for my thesis
Excelente video, gracias por mostranos tu gran ingenio y ayudarnos con tus magnificas ideas.
Not sure what I did but ur pretty smart, and talented. A lathe and tig welder pretty talented.
Thanks so much for sharing this. Great video!
Great self taught method! very scaleable. Thanks for researching and developing this
Sweet! I've been thinking about this for a long time, for an Arduino cat feeder.
When I get the time this winter, I'll definitely give it a go.
Thank you so much for the nice video, easy explanation and Excel program.
Great job. Subscribed!
I think that would be a perfect application for something like this, and also the sort of project arduinos were made for! Good luck!
Andy what program does the calculator work in? Ive viewed the file but none of the fields are editable@@AndysMachines
Great video man! the information is very much appreciated.
Nicely done! This will help me on my next project, Thank you for sharing!

You saved my 15000 INR, Thank you
Wow, this is amazing too! I never realised this would work, lovely fit too
100 percent genius idea, thanks for sharing .... 👍
Thankyou bro nice idea!!!
Thank you for sharing. Last aplication that I saw, was in one of my coffe machines (Sugar dispenser).
Thank you very much for you Knowledge from south america.
Thank you much, was what I was looking
Very informative! Thnx for sharing!
Awesome. Just a note from a farmer: the flighting on auger screws are rarely seam welded the length of the helix. More commonly I see a weld stitch once per turn of the helix. Good work anyway.
Tiene fundamento , es para evitar deformar el eje por deformación térmica
Thank you so much, you've just saved my life
Wish I could give this multiple thumbs up. Awesome!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you 😊
Great solution! Thank you!!!
Thanks for spreadsheet 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍
Awesome friend. Great work. One day I will try this also.
Thank you!

That,s also a good idea to twist a flat iron.both of your ideas are good.thank you so much. With youtube we learn more.
i was thinking the same thing; god-bless this man's soul, for torturing himself for everyone to follow.
Great sir specially for your sheet.
Thanks.
Thanks a ton for this, really helped me out in a time of need :D
Glad it helped!
@@AndysMachines One quick question, your formula is the ID+R and OD+R or it's something different?
@@supersherpa2011 It's just the ID of the helix (diameter of the rod it will fit on) and the OD of the helix (total outer diameter) and the pitch determines how much it is stretched out.
Good job mate
Thanks from vietnam
I made one of these augers and drilled a water well with it. I used a 1/2 inch drill to turn it to a depth of over 30 feet...
I always wondered how hard this would be. Unfortunately where I am you need to drill to 200 feet to hit the water table.
@@AndysMachines That depth would definitely present more challenges for sure. I used 3/4 pipe and had to screw it together and unscrew it many times as I was extracting the dirt out of the hole...
thank you
Thanks very much sir, its very useful
Interesting solution. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Thanks, I appreciate it!

❤. Thanks for technical details. ❤
My hero 🎉
Well done sir thanks for sharing 🤘
Thanks bro..i will try yours..
I love math 😁😁😁 thanks for sharing!!!
0:24 I hate to be that guy but this is not a spiral! It is a helix, and almost everyone gets that wrong😀

Thanks!
thanks very much, worked perfectly.
Well done!!!!
Nice video
I respect math as much I hate it, lol.. thank you for uploading.
Hypnotic labour. Great. Thanks.
Excellent
well done!
Good idea
Amazing
thanks for video
Brilliant
good idea Thank
Très bonne vidéo
Merci
Requesting if you can extend this video or another episode to reelmower and bed knife diy?
Helical mower blades are something I've never made, and while they might look simple I'm sure there are probably design considerations I'm not aware of.
thanks for that just what i needed excellent work dude
Nice lateral thinking there.
and learned something useful again. Thank you & abo for you
Nice idea
