Adam, I never fast forward your videos, especially when you are doing some odd ball indicating. Seeing is learning. If you ever feel the urge, you would make a fine teacher in a tech school. I learned this stuff in the late 70’s early 80’s in high school from a bunch of WWII navy guys that prolly forgot more than I ever learned from them. You keep on indicating work and showing the process in real time. I’ll bet dollars to donuts that there are teachers that use your videos to teach the old ways to students because they don’t understand the process themselves.
Adam, I think the indicating is a great part of the channel. CEE doesn't really show it and that works for them, but I really enjoy seeing how you get things aligned properly on your channel. You always seem to go the extra mile and get it as close as you possibly can too, which is very satisfying. Love the channel man, keep up the great work.
Man, the amount of time and effort that goes into doing these... Tying you up for a whole week... I cannot imagine how much this is costing the customer. As always, you are a pleasure to watch because you are a complete and utter master of your craft.
The tediousness of indicating must be shown to give those who are not aware of the extra time it takes beyond making chips……it’s part of the time & effort that needs to be factored in for cost & time estimates. It’s also awesome to see an experienced machinist process which we can all learn from. Keep doing your thing Adam, & thanks again for sharing the knowledge no matter how seemingly boring it may be, it’s just part of the process.🇺🇸👍
Yes I totally agree he apologises but i think it is probably one of the most interesting and critical parts of the video, which I was anticipating.. many thanks Adam
I think its very important to understand the time it takes to setup an operation, so please do keep showing us your indicating process. Thank you for the content.
Hi Adam, my name is Wagner and I watch your videos and Thank you for what you doing, There aren't many people like you these days who do their job and at the same time pass on excellent information to others. I’m in the process to move to Florida next year to Dade City to live near my daughter and grandchildren, I hope One day I can stop by your shop to meet you in person and see your shop too. Thank you
I love your indication education portion. Indication is so important in the machining process. Thank you for showing the techniques involved with indicating so you have precise and true measurement parts.
Adam , You are a real world machinist ! Taking on the jobs that the guys that can only program the machine are afraid of . That from you're first video has really been an inspiration to me . I love the pics of you're dad and grandfather 😃Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work !
I really appreciate the indicating footage, it's so good to see because I know how time consuming it can be and how important it really is. I know it can be monotonous, but necessary and personally I think it's so important to see what it takes. lol especially when you accidentally go the wrong way and have to start all over...a machinists Murphy's Law "when you are at the very last half-thousandths, you will move it the wrong way"
What a great learning project for odd shapes. That's what we love about your channel, you're a great teacher!! And what an awesome thing to be able to help out one of us viewers!! This is what makes you great!!
Am I the only one who thinks the setup in the lathe looks like Scrat, the squirrel from ice age??? :D Dang it, can't unsee it :D That being said.. Fantastic video as always Adam. Major thumbs up. Always a pleasure watching your stuff man:) I seriously don't know how I'm gonna fill the space if you were to stop making content. Been watching for the most of 10 years now I guess... Started watching Just about the time when you made the Rotary Weld table :) Keep up the good stuff buddy :) Much love.
@@hennievangalen3789no? The further away a weight is from the pivot point or point of rotation in this case, the greater the torque is that’s applied to the pivot point or point of rotation. Therefore, more movement generated balancing the chuck better Torque = force (weight in this case) x distance Grab some dumbbells and hold them at your chest, then hold them at full arms length and see the difference
"Indication section can get a bit long".. hey, that's what the channel is about. To take two random pieces of scrap and always make sure they are square and straight and level to less than 1/1000" (approx 3/100 mm).
Now that you have coolant on the APM … it looks like a plexiglass back splash might come in handy to keep splash off of the wall and circuit breaker box
What a pain this job is. I know of no shops is our area that would consider this work. It's painful to think of doing 15 of these. Something tells me these would be easier on a VTL, but again there not many of these machines in use these days. Hope you are getting well paid for this job. You are a very patient person.
Every time I see something big spinning in a lathe I get a little tingling in my toes. It good to feeling of not everyone can do this moment. Thanks for sharing.
I would suggest increasing the diameter of the pipe coming out of your coolant pump for as far as you can, if not all the way to the tool. That pump can likely provide you with more volume of coolant if you reduce the restriction of the small discharge line. The line can be larger than the outlet of the pump and you will get better volume at a lower pressure.
Guite the process Adam. Lot a fun watching this project come together and progress. Enjoy watching these build up to finish processes take place piece by piece. Thanks for sharing.
If you have a CAD model of the workpiece (approx) then you can easily figure out the approximate center of mass and then based on where radially you want to locate the counterweight you should be very close and then adjust manually afterwards. I've used this type of method and it has worked very well. Just something to think about for your future projects. As usual your videos are amazing and very informative!👍
G'day Adam. Thanks for taking us through this type of very awkward meticulous job. It is food for thought in the event we come to any job , that might even come close to what you have taken on. Very complex in setup etc. Job is working really well especially with the baring train fitting so well. Thanks Ted
I'll tell ys guy, I'm ssoo happy to see some real payin' work come in. A business owner needs income or pretty soon no business. I've been down that road. Damn good video.
This was classy machining! You have done a wonderful job of setting your shop up to handle an important niche in the machine-shop market. For a general audience like this, perhaps you should have mentioned that had you needed some finer adjustment on your counterweight system, moving the weights in the t-slots in or out a bit would change the center of mass of the entire spinning system.
😮 It's a process that you will do every time when it comes to oddly shaped parts you'll put into a lathe. Since you have to do multiple pieces of the same shape I liked that you made counterbalances to help the machine plus helping keep the borehole from being egg shaped. I definitely enjoyed your show and I know you and Abby have things to do and places to go when you two hit the road but I wisk wish you could have taught would be machinist the knowledge you have like in a trade school or co-op. You're passing it on now. Keep it up.
Abom its surprising to me that after all these years you still have not made a brass shim clip on cap for your jaws that would make it easier to indicate if the same piece of shim is on the same jaw for this job
Was a machine tool setter operator for 50 years now retired,never understood how you manage the price per workpiece when you own a business,especially when you have an awkward job as this one, be interesting to find your method,but at anyrate keep up these videos very entertaining
@@LeonidasLPP sound about right, he might give them a break since he is doing a video though, he said before he does that occasionally for a customer so he can get the job on youtube, for content...
That's a remarkably good bandsaw. If I don't have at least six inches of clamping surface then pieces of metal start flying around my shop. LoL don't get me started on my belt sander. It once flung an axe head 15 feet across my shop. It was the closest shave I've ever had.
We would do that job at our shop in Ohio but we would do it on a horizontal boring mill. If I was doing it I would rather have all the material in the back already removed so it would actually be boring a through hole. Not near as much indicating required on a boring mill. Just lay it on its side on the table and place that long side up against the table keys. Then clamp over a solid area so it doesnt distort when you drill the hole. set machine spindle to the center hole and drill and bore and done.
I was wondering for so long in the previous videos "Is it really worth all this setup of the drill? Couldnt he just drill it to an inch or so and take a 'little' extra time boring?". Then I saw the number of parts on the pallet at 22:51 and I understood just how much time all that coolant setup, pinning, and drill setup was saving
I enjoy seeing you run a lathe . I like knowing what the end use of any parts being made are for but I understand if they don’t want to say . Still made a good video. Thanks Adam
Pretty awesome to see this massive lathe doing what it was intended! I would liked to have seen a cup of water set on the headstock or something before and after the counterweights were added... It looked pretty rigid even without the weights!!
Adam, something that I saw Kurtis do on the Cutting Edge Engineering channel do was to make caps out of brass sheets that went over the ends of the chuck jaws. They were slightly springy so that they wouldn't off without the jaws being tight to a workpiece. This saves Kurtis from having to keep track of each shim, fishing them out of the chip tray and whatnot. And if the jaws of the 3-jaw and 4-jaw are the same dimension, you'd only need to make a set of 4 and pull as many as needed.
Curtis also has a drilled hole in the end of his three jaw chuck jaws, he uses small 6 mm screws to hold L strips with the screw going through the short leg. He drilled the hole with a carbide drill bit and was careful to over size the hole for the tap so as not to break it while carefully hand tapping each jaw. He did use a new tap he said, in case that made a difference. And, yes, the jaws are hardened through not just surface hardened or maybe it was the other way around, yeah, that what it was, only the surface was hard to about 4mm? The rest of the jaw was just tool steel before being hardened. Induction hardened I imagine, or flame hardened and quenched with water.
The lathe gears sound way, way better with the counterweights bolted on. I've been waiting for this video since you put this on IG a wile back. Cheers!
I like c.n.c. machining, but I believe Manuel machining sometimes just works better for certain work pieces. You've taught me that amongst other people I learn from.
Manual is economically better for the simple one offs and repair jobs . Also for some very very simple operations and larger workpieces . For anything else cnc is just better .
Total Weight: Assuming this material is 4140, based on the density of 4140 and the specific dimensions given, this would equate to approximately 18.96lbs per piece, or for all 15 a total of 384.4lbs of material removed. Or, 8.6 kg per piece or 129kg Not that anyone cares... 😂😂😂
@@shootgp it did look like the spade drill could have used a bit of touch up after the first use. But that's HSS for you. Would have loved seeing an HST drill used here. The chips were great on the first one, not so on the second one. The insert tooling this time was less able to control the chip breaking correctly, but the new bar was a good bit more rigid even with the larger nose radius.
So I had a part where I was told they wanted a slip fit for bearings. We did that, but they then found out that the surface finish wasn’t good enough. Now whenever we’re dealing with anything they deem a “slip fit” we make them give a call out for over all size and surface finish
Adam , If you decide to upgrade the pump for the coolant on the pacemaker, try to get a pump that resembles an oil pump for an automobile. You might even be able to get a used one and adapt for motor attachment.
I love your vids, I'm not a machinist, never used a lathe. But I find it fascinating how you "dial it in" with the indicators. Those coolant fittings look like (or similar to) air fittings
Adam, I never fast forward your videos, especially when you are doing some odd ball indicating. Seeing is learning. If you ever feel the urge, you would make a fine teacher in a tech school.

Man, the amount of time and effort that goes into doing these... Tying you up for a whole week... I cannot imagine how much this is costing the customer.
As always, you are a pleasure to watch because you are a complete and utter master of your craft.
The tediousness of indicating must be shown to give those who are not aware of the extra time it takes beyond making chips……it’s part of the time & effort that needs to be factored in for cost & time estimates.

It is tedious for sure. Especially when you are doing work that is better suited for a horizontal boring machine on a lathe.
Adam, I love how you honor your Dad and Grand Dad at the end of your videos with the pic of the three of you.
"PURE POETRY" Adam - What an Inspirational Project Share - Absolute Perfection! ❤👍
I really went to school here on this indicating and really see how useful that brass shim stock can be.
Nice work, Adam. I'm sure the American Pacemaker was happy with the counter weights you added. Thanks for sharing.
What a great learning project for odd shapes. That's what we love about your channel, you're a great teacher!! And what an awesome thing to be able to help out one of us viewers!! This is what makes you great!!
Am I the only one who thinks the setup in the lathe looks like Scrat, the squirrel from ice age??? :D Dang it, can't unsee it :D

Been watching for the most of 10 years now I guess...
Started watching Just about the time when you made the Rotary Weld table :)
Keep up the good stuff buddy :) Much love.
Your holding to the old style machine tools such as the Pacemaker comes out once again as a winner. Well worth the hour of video time.
You could adjust the balance by simply sliding the weights closer of farther from the center to get that fine adjustment. Great channel.
Wrong assumption..
@@hennievangalen3789no? The further away a weight is from the pivot point or point of rotation in this case, the greater the torque is that’s applied to the pivot point or point of rotation. Therefore, more movement generated balancing the chuck better
Torque = force (weight in this case) x distance
Grab some dumbbells and hold them at your chest, then hold them at full arms length and see the difference
What a great show. Old school machining rocks. Superb filming. Thanks
"only 13 more to do" That's a huge job and a lot of work. I hope you're being well compensated.
Looks great Adam. You just proved what I tell people all the time, set up is the lion share of the machining process most of the time.
I love every minute of your videos. Feel free to share the details. I consider these to be instructional videos.
Adam's machinist eye is crazy accurate! He sets up the ductile iron round in the saw and center cuts them to within 0.002"
"Indication section can get a bit long".. hey, that's what the channel is about. To take two random pieces of scrap and always make sure they are square and straight and level to less than 1/1000" (approx 3/100 mm).
Indicating is prep work for machining just like you do for painting the better the prep the better the paint job
Now that you have coolant on the APM … it looks like a plexiglass back splash might come in handy to keep splash off of the wall and circuit breaker box
Looking good kid! You're a master craftsman and you deserve every single subscription you have. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Abom its surprising to me that after all these years you still have not made a brass shim clip on cap for your jaws
that would make it easier to indicate if the same piece of shim is on the same jaw for this job
The lathe generally sounds much happier now you've balanced if properly.
That's what I was thinking
I know that the counterweights had to be faced, but I am still amazed at the cut quality of the band saw blade.

Many ways to do a job, one isn’t better than another, just different.
This job was a classic boring mill job if there ever was one - but apparently no one with a boring mill wanted to do it.
I'd think a boring mill would be better. If you had one. Alot less work not having to indicate each part
HBM's are kind of falling out of favor these days, but when you need one, you need one.
@Rorschach1024 we have 7 of them
Love the way you think Adam
Another great job Adam. I love these videos and keep em coming!
Great teaching as always Adam, keep up the great work 🍺
Dam hearing that old iron working with a good load on it sounds so good

Beautiful work. What a job on just one 14 more to go. Adam you are the man!
And now Adam is in the market for a nice horizontal boring mill Josh Topper has.
As the crow flies Josh is closer to Colorado than Adam is. I'll bet Josh would love to have this job.
That American pacemaker is a beautiful machine. I'm going to learn more about its history of it company.
Abom moving some metal and having some fun doing it!

No way I'm this early. Never happens. Hey Adam, hope you're good
Can’t beat Abom when the weathers nasty and cold outside
nice way to spend some time during a blizzard Adam thanks for the tech tips and entertainment from the great white north
I love you Abom.......Ur an awesome person.
You should fab up a shield to constrain the coolant, maybe keep it off the electrical boxes there. 🔥🔥🔥
Holy Cow! That was so intense! And you've only (only!!) got 13 more to go!
Seeing that fit must be satisfying. Excellent job.
35:00 Yes Adam, I enjoy the precision work that you do.
The timing of this is funny. Keith Rucker just trashed the holder for a spade drill because he was and wasn't interested in using it.
I like c.n.c. machining, but I believe Manuel machining sometimes just works better for certain work pieces. You've taught me that amongst other people I learn from.

He was only just clear of the ways with the chuck jaws-so maybe close to his practical position?
Total Weight: Assuming this material is 4140, based on the density of 4140 and the specific dimensions given, this would equate to approximately 18.96lbs per piece, or for all 15 a total of 384.4lbs of material removed.
Or, 8.6 kg per piece or 129kg
Not that anyone cares... 😂😂😂
Interesting all the same though.

Awesome, enjoyable and worth the time to watch Adam work.
Taking the cut is easy, it’s always setup that takes time, and it’s worth it!
Excellent job on a very challenging job!!!!
I can’t imagine the torque going into that drill. I would be standing on the other side of the shop waiting for it to explode.
With the counterweights added, it looks like Johnny 5 from that 1986 movie…
Superb work sir ... Tasty !
So I had a part where I was told they wanted a slip fit for bearings. We did that, but they then found out that the surface finish wasn’t good enough. Now whenever we’re dealing with anything they deem a “slip fit” we make them give a call out for over all size and surface finish
A slip fit is a defined standard depending on diameter. If they complain about a surface finish they should have defined one.
@ trust me I didn’t agree with having to re-make the parts. But ultimately boss man told me to remake the parts so I did.
Great work as always adam.
Really enjoyed this!
Adam , If you decide to upgrade the pump for the coolant on the pacemaker, try to get a pump that resembles an oil pump for an automobile. You might even be able to get a used one and adapt for motor attachment.
The pump he is using would be ok. It's the hose that is too small ID and all the 90 degree fittings that is reducing the output.
I be thinking that piece fits on a M1 Abrams!! Great video, thanks.
I love your vids, I'm not a machinist, never used a lathe. But I find it fascinating how you "dial it in" with the indicators. Those coolant fittings look like (or similar to) air fittings
