    As a retired springmaker if coiling on a lathe after turning the amount of required coils you should wind the lathe slowly backwards to release the spring tension. So that when you cut the wire it won't spin backwards and damage you hand.

      But seriously,( if you're not just a troll) when someone does that in the comments they're really saying "I found this part funny, what about you guys?" and the like button is used as a quick way to agree/disagree, and the reply function allows others to comment on that part or share what parts they liked. It's just like when you're with your friends (If you have any)and one of them repeats a line from a show/movie you're watching/have watched (Do you scream at them?) It's a normal, socially friendly thing to do, So if anything your comment says more about you than the original commenter (Mike 888)

    He was pretty anal about making every single little part for them, all the way down to tiny screws. Despite being a hobbyist, (retired welder) he looked like a godlike machinist to me.
    He made spring forming look like an art form.

    Helpful tip from a spring maker, (Lee Springs)
    When grinding the spring make sure you have at least 75% of the circumference ground on each end coil. This will reduce the deflection, and ensure proper loading.
    Heat treatment is done prior to preset and shot peen.
    Have a good day. 😊

    Always enjoy you videos. Just made my first spring using your technique. Success came on the third attempt, on the first attempt the mandrel was too big a diameter, the second attempt I ran out of wire, its surprising how much it takes so should have calculated it beforehand, never mind I'm sure that shorter spring will come in handy one day. I used your idea of the tool holder with a piece of delrin (acetal) sheet to provide the friction.
    I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if this has been raised before, but I found that it was worth adding a few extra non-functioning turns at each end because the start and finish turns were not wound as tight as the rest and were a larger diameter. I then trimmed the extra turns off.
    All in all a perfect spring for my modified screw-less milling vice.

  • @tomdillard9558
    @tomdillard9558 4 роки тому +8

    Something that needs to be done after forming the spring is to stress relieve it. When you form the spring you are stressing the metal beyond the point where it is able to return to its original shape. That stress remains trapped in the metal and it will allow it to change shape more easily. Every time you cycle the spring, it will continue to change shape. In the case of a compression spring it will just keep getting shorter and shorter over time. To remove the stress, after the initial forming, the spring needs to be heated to allow the grain structure to return to its original shape within the part. Music wire needs to be heated to 450 degrees for about an hour to do this. A rather strange side effect of the stress relieving process is that with music wire , the coil diameter will get smaller. Hard drawn wire does that also. Oil tempered wire does not move. Most common stainless wires are stress relieved at 650 degrees and the coil diameter will grow larger from the process.

      Over the years, children have been using all sorts of objects to endanger themselves. Until recently within the past two centuries, they would use rocks or sticks to poke there eyes out when playing. Now days they use BB guns. BB guns are toy mock ups of real firearms, except without the fire. A BB gun uses a stout spring or compressed air to propel a BB into the eye of the child looking down the barrel. When the trigger is pulled, a mechanism releases the spring or compressed air to propel the BB.
