Well, receiving donations helps greatly with channel content and being able to move forward more quickly getting these antique machines up and running. I am working with a new or refurbished ebay Dell computer with 4x more power, soon to have much improved sound!
That’s a real money saver there! I want both a cutter grinder and a surface grinder, but I don’t have the room for both. One of these days I’ll have one.
Hi DD, you might have success with a square foot of cardboard with a hole in it to put around something like an endmill so the gopro will focus on what is in the center. the problem with gopro is it wants to focus on the average field of view, which is usually well behind what you are trying to focus on. the cardboard will present the camera with a field of view distance that is the same with what you are trying to show and it will focus.
A flat bottom would have the flutes dragging as only the outer tip and flute actually cuts. If it’s a center cutter, obviously the entire flute cuts. What a lot of people don’t realize is that these things don’t cut a flat bottom when “drilling” to a depth.
Great stuff, Don. I'm just making the transition from all old school HSS to at least some carbide tooling, and I know I'm going to need to up my sharpening/grinding game. This is very useful information.
I do have my early1970s Snap-On 3piece 6ft tall narrow boxes and tools, proving I did not fall victim to Cocaine and Disco in those decades, but for some reason I don't use them out in the shop instead using old Plomb and Williams tools I bought as a teenager in my beat up $14 1930s Plomb box I just found at Ed and Moes Pawn!
Hello Don, Love your videos ive learned a lot ! i have just finished refurbished a B&S #10 universal tool & cutter grinder seems very rare and hard to find some info. what im wondering is the cup wheels o on the right side and other wheels on the left But if i push hard it has spring loaded backlash of about ~1/8" ? and cant find any info on why this is or what it should be ? the spindle is a bronze type and has runout of about one tenth , im wondering is this okay ? Thank You So Much for your video's etc Alec Ryals
The Crystal Lake Grinders used light hydraulic oil for the plain bearings. Probably should run for short periods and check for heat. Sounds like the bearings are good.
Dee this has been a fantastic video. Thanks for taking the time to film it.I know it takes a lot more time than 42 minutes to make a 42-minute video.

Space for machines or anything else is getting more expensive here.
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us Don.....
best wishes from Florida, Paul
Thanks for coming along!

Thanks for that, I am not very familiar with auto focus
Just Dandy!!
Thanks for tuning in!

I think it is amazing they work as well as they do and the abuse endmills can take.
@@DonDyarprecision it is. To think that the first horizontal milling bits were thought of as just rolled up files.
Very nice, cuts like when it was new!
Hi, thanks, it works great

The carbide grinds easier than HSS, but the dust needs to be dealt with. Thanks!
Great stills of the Rigid pipe tools girls. I've got a collection of Snap-On Girl clocks. its not just the girls but also the era that I love.

Great lesson there on the Cincinatti #2. In the final gashing stage how close to the cutting tip do you go?
Hi, I brought the gash right to the edge. I am hoping the Harig fixture gives more clearance and I can use the better wheel made for that.

Can you get me more info on that Rota-Dex, I know I did not spell that correctly. But I would love to own one.
I did this video, ua-cam.com/video/lKRBdngQdD8/v-deo.html
