A 2 part series on refurbishing a small KURT milling machine vise. I now have tubalcain T SHIRTS - click below. www.storefront... Paypal Donation: www.paypal.com...
Earl Shibes "I'll paint your car for $29.95" sure brings back memories. I know the young people don't know anything about that but I'm 70 years old and I remember those days. Some of my friends got paint jobs there. They were cheap but not always good quality.
WHAT? WHO IS THAT GOOD LOOKING MAN THAT APPEARS AT 13:54 Thank you Lyle:) Hi mr.pete, we like the repair kit and wow that is large, we like our USA made KURT 3.00" with a 7/16 handle and swivel base in the box NOS, it is for the Barker Milling machine we are rebuilding. We actually enjoyed your video on how the vise forces press downward on the work piece. We like the pattern your friend made you, it dies look great and we have learned about the patterns of doing cast work. We do remove the tags and we generally have to re-drill and tap the holes right above or below the existing one the pins generally do not come out successfully for us. Yes of course Starrett to the inspection rescue. Thank you for another great video Lyle and for helping the newbies, we are having a great time, Lance & Patrick.
@@kellysampson5984 mr.pete is a very surprising man and he has not ever done anything but help all us fellow creators and he works with a stern teacher instructional focus, we are so thankful to know him, share with him, watch him, learn from him and generally have a great time along the way, thank you for also being our friend at AA Kelly we always enjoy your visits. L&P
When you are using the sandpaper to take off the high spots, I recommend some oil or WD to act as a cutting fluid. It greatly reduces the loading of the paper and increases cutting action to allow faster material removal. It gives a superb finish as well. It seems others have the same thoughts.
Good morning mister Pete. I'm going to follow this one closely, because I have a 6 inch Kirk Vice that I want to restore and I think he'll do it pretty much the same way you do it in this video. Thanks for being there pal.
Always a pleasure watching your videos. You open my mind on a subject and then I have to go to my own library archive to find out more info. Like you, I guard my books to the extreme.
Nice restoration on that little vise Mr. Pete! It looks to be just the right size for the jobs a home shop would take on. And that color is just Smurfy!
Great video as usual! My kurt vise also has that groove ground cut perpendicular into the threads. I believe it's there to clear out any chips that may accumulate inside the nut.
WOW, your shop is just like mine, basement, wet, cracked floor. Actually, my floor is just a skim coat to cover the dirt because the house is so old. AND when it rains, I need a canoe to get from one side to the other.
First time watching one of your videos. Looking forward to seeing more. I've made a decent career the last dozen years or so, after changing careers drastically, modernizing machine shop processes, tooling, programming, etc. The secret to my successes? I pay close attention to the wisdom of experience, learn what works, how it works, why it works, and pay particular attention when a story is told regarding mistakes. I recently bought, at online auction, what was listed as a Kurt vise, until the auction ended. Several were renamed. At least I didn't pay Kurt vice pricing. I am going to be giving it a thorough exam in the next two weeks or so, and I'm a little concerned about what I'm going to find. I definitely agree with milling those mounting holes into mounting slots. I've found a bit of porosity in that area occasionally, but nothing affecting function.
Sherwin Williams has a photospectrometer that allows them to match a given paint color, and formulate a replacement. Many stores have them. Earl Scheib would "paint any car, any color, just $19.95". The drips and finger marks were left at no extra charge.
Groove in the acme threads is normal, and used as a chip breaker if swaft gets into the threads. The trick, is you want to mirror the same slot on the other far end of the threads 180* on the other side, for the same reason. With slots in the threads, turns both side into semi tap chip breakers to break away any swaft of both pull and push sides of the threads that gets in into the block threads, so you don't end up with shaft ending up binding. Also, since they give you an O ring in the kit, groove the flat behind the bearing washing kit on the acme bolt, to add in the O ring like on the new vises, so your not just flushing out the through bearing with coolant as well. Also to note, some of the rebuild kits will come with the brush seals for the newer style thread blocks, or you can order them as well ( they helps to keep swaft out of the block threads to begin with, and if you do get a kit with them, or order them, recess the ends of the thread block to accept the brush seals as well.
A couple of things. My 6” Kurt is slotted and I purchased it new. Also the blue is really close to the newer Kurt vices. You mentioned Active Atom, they watch and comment on a lot of creators channels. I also am impressed with the level of precision in the micro machining word they work in. In fact Lance is supposed to get back with me on his baby Kurt. As soon as they figure out the clearances and send me the sizes needed I’m starting them a speed handle like yours. I already have the socket size for them. Look forward to the completed vice on video.
An old toolmaker I used to work with would lay a file on a die that he was rebuilding or even, a new one and go over it like you did. He referred to the action as, "Getting rid of the goonies." LOL.
You can't have too many Kurt vises, @ 29:56, you could make a one piece t-nut extending under the entire width of the vise. Drill & tap holes at the same spacing as the vise mounting holes. Socket head cap screws or hex head bolts cut to the exact length would make setup quick & easy. Setup studs and nuts could be used too. Remember to use hardened washers between the head of the fastener & the vise to improve the strength and ease of setup. You could make a video demonstrating the process. Great video, keep up the good work.
I love your sense of humor! Active Atom (Lance&Patrick) is another great channel. A set of 6" precision ground flat stones would be good to use on the jaws. I'm gonna have to get me a surface plate....some day. That vise is gonna look/be good once you are finished. Is that the vise you will use on the Clausing Mill? Waiting patiently for part 2.
@@MaturePatriot Fascinating, your original post was two hours ago, but your reply is time stamped 4 hours ago. So you replied to yourself two hours _before_ you posted! You must have one of those time-traveling Colchester Student lathes like This Old Tony has. :)
I believe the groove on the main screw was put there intentionally. Perhaps if not by Kurt then by someone. It would act as a thread chaser to help clear out any chips or debris that might work it's way in there. Thanks for another great video!
Lyle, you need to get or grind yourself some Precision Ground Flat Stones. They are amazing compared to stones that haven’t been ground. If you were my student I would give you 3 days in school suspension for using regular stones on a vise like that.
Its been my experience that they usually go super cheap at auctions. Mine was less than $300 for a 6x12. The problem with them is they take up a considerable amount of room for all of the use that you get out of them, unless you're making a ton of tooling or doing a lot of restorations, or if you name happens to be Tony and you're "this old."
@@4GSR well it is going to get done, It seemed like a good idea but the fact that it was not built that way made me wonder if I was doing the right thing..
Mr Pete, due to the pressure button and wedge, most of the wear will show up on the underside of the main casting (and the nut). The genius of this design is that this wear will not affect the accuracy of the vise.
"The bottom of this cabinet here, (and) that's just below where I keep my money". I laughed so much at that Mr Pete. Is it in cash or gold bars? 😁😁😁 I am not a machinist or engineer but I love your videos.
Mr Pete go to an auto parts store and look at Dupli-Color spray paint for cars. That metallic blue looks like a Pontiac engine blue. There are also other shades of metallic used to paint the car bodies. Or it could be a Mint green metallic too. WD40 makes a user friendly degreaser/cleaner just for a heads up. One last thing. "We don't need to stinking primer" Lol.
I wouldn't blame you a bit for milling those holes into slots. Makes your life a lot easier. I know you don't have a surface grinder, but you could always hand scrape that vise back to 100% true. (I know you don't have the patience for that, either) ;) I expect your supply of patience was more than used up teaching kids.
You can do powder coating at home. You just need the kind of powder coating paint that allows you to bake it in an oven. I've done several small parts with regular PC in my forge too, and i can tell you that the only trick is in making sure you have the part clean and the temperature and baking time right. The rest, there's kits online for the gun and sellers that sell the PC cheap as well. I'm in Europe, so it's irrelevant, but i'm 100% sure you can find those in US easy since that's where i figured those things out and replicated them here. Powder coating stuff is soooooo much better than painting them. I've even done my indexer's base with it and now it doesn't gain that ugly grime feel to it anymore.
All powder coating needs to be baked on. You can strip it off with carburetor cleaner after is baked on. If Mr Pete used his wife's oven he surely would be in the dog house. Lol.
We'll paint any car for $99.99.....Some people got good paint jobs if they sanded their own car and had it prepped before having them paint it ...You still had to go back and remove paint from the trim and sometimes windows or the bumpers
Did you remove the crystal from that last word, or did you find another way to eliminate the glare? I love that there was absolutely no glare when you were using it. Chris
Great video that blue looks like ford engine blue back in the day when the earth was green😄 You know I have one of these vises it measures 4 3/4 long x 2 1/4 wide x 1 3/4 high at the jaws if there is a method and your at all interested in seeing let me know and I could send you a picture of it. I was told it was made by a machinist back in the early 1900s It’s kind of cool.
My theory regarding the surprisingly little wear: When you tighten the vise, the jaw hardly moves at all when the down-load starts being applied. Under any other jaw movement condition there is no download (only the weight of the moveable jaw). Why SHOULD there be any appreciable wear?
Had a friend that used a small amount of gasoline to rinse out a motorcycle fuel tank dumped the small amount into a tray The water heater pilot light ignited the fumes with a big boom luckly not getting hurt
i was curious a while back if a guy could adapt a radial arm saw into a poor mans poor precision surface grinder? maybe ill give it a whack and see what happens. I will douse the sawdust in gasoline first to keep the dust down... lol
Good Day Coffee houur with The Man, The Legendary UA-cam's Shop Teacher. Be sure to enquire about his common sense 'Chuch Wagon Pete' cookong skills & upcoming series. He is inspired Trainman4602 aka Dave. Cheers
@@mrpete222 lol... at parent/teacher meetings my teachers always said things like "he's a bright kid but he's always a bit hyper in class and needs to listen better and pay better attention"... who knew?! thanks mr pete much appreciated! excellent channel referral!
I don’t mean to arm chair quarter back your nice project mr. Pete but I absolutely hate that color of paint. Still, you did all that good tedious work and I think the paint color is a distraction of the project. Sorry for the criticism.
That is a horrible color. I powder coat everything I can fit into the lab oven I use for it. Yeah staining, and a thin layer of rust mixed with the oil. Attempting to true a surface with sandpaper and hand holding the part is problematic. No matter how careful we may be, we tend to press down harder on one end of the part than the other. If we then turn the part around, the we crown the center. I know, it’s not by much, but depending on how critical it is, it could cause problems. I would leave all mating surfaced alone, unless there’s a raised gouge in a surface. When mating surfaces wear, they wear together. Correcting that requires careful grinding of both after precise measurements. Honing large surfaces is best done with a steel plate diamond coated sharpening “stone”. These are dead flat. Actual stones are never actually flat except for those first minutes after flattened by a diamond coated steel plate.
careful watching other peoples fancy youtube videos and getting inspired to clean things up. It's so exhausting and tedious you won't feel like even looking at your shop after you turn derusting, sanding, painting, etc into a daily chore. The wire wheel noise haunts me after two big toolchests.
I love the Earl Scheib's comment. What a blast from the past. I hope you are well sir. Thanks again for another great video!

They painted over the dirt
They would of painted the windows if they could of got away with it.

And that color is just Smurfy!
Yes

Glad you caught it
Great video as usual! My kurt vise also has that groove ground cut perpendicular into the threads. I believe it's there to clear out any chips that may accumulate inside the nut.
That's good to know. I was wondering why it was so deep

That's a sweet oil / tool holder.
Kinda wish i hadn't seen it now ill be thinking about it wkk the time. Story of my life
Great warning about the gas. What a terrible accident.
When you are Coating (painting) items with small holes/threads, those round ear plugs make an excellent and quick masking tool.

@@4GSR well it is going to get done, It seemed like a good idea but the fact that it was not built that way made me wonder if I was doing the right thing..

That is a horrible color. I powder coat everything I can fit into the lab oven I use for it. Yeah staining, and a thin layer of rust mixed with the oil.
Attempting to true a surface with sandpaper and hand holding the part is problematic. No matter how careful we may be, we tend to press down harder on one end of the part than the other. If we then turn the part around, the we crown the center. I know, it’s not by much, but depending on how critical it is, it could cause problems. I would leave all mating surfaced alone, unless there’s a raised gouge in a surface. When mating surfaces wear, they wear together. Correcting that requires careful grinding of both after precise measurements.
Honing large surfaces is best done with a steel plate diamond coated sharpening “stone”. These are dead flat. Actual stones are never actually flat except for those first minutes after flattened by a diamond coated steel plate.
careful watching other peoples fancy youtube videos and getting inspired to clean things up. It's so exhausting and tedious you won't feel like even looking at your shop after you turn derusting, sanding, painting, etc into a daily chore. The wire wheel noise haunts me after two big toolchests.
needs to be spread out over a year, but I decided to do it in 1 month.
Yes
