Making Collet Blocks || INHERITANCE MACHINING

- Join me in the machine shop for the first official machining project. Here I’ll be making a pair of collet blocks for the 5C collet set I inherited from my grandfather. Collet blocks are a type of 5C collet fixture used for holding small round workpieces in the mill or anywhere else you might need them. I’m going back to the good old days and designing these on the drafting board using the set of manual drafting tools that were passed down to me as well. The final design will require both the metal lathe and the vertical milling machine, both of which have been recently “restored”. These parts will require almost every feature of the manual lathe. Three jaw chuck, four jaw chuck, 5C collet chuck, tailstock drilling, boring bar, and even turning threads. Parts are then moved to the mill where they are face milled, center drilled, countersunk and I even do a little power tapping. Final parts are then inspected on the granite surface plate with a dial indicator and a bevel protractor. Through this project I learn a lot about my metalworking tools and I’m eager to dive into something else!

Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for the next video on Friday, March 18th at 10AM Eastern. See you then!
Many don't understand that it's not about saving money when doing a project. For most makers and hobby machinist's, the journey is the destination. Keep up the great content.
Well said! Thank you!
I couldn't have said it better! This was a great video. Oh, does losing your 10 millimeter socket and the time spent searching it also count as a side project?
@@Carnold_YT No but making a couple dozen spares does! haha thanks!
You are saving money! For a business, projects are income - so buying tools probably worthwhile, you can get more projects done quicker and make more money. For a hobbyist, projects are *expenses*. So by spending time on this project, you're slowing down the rate of projects and spending less money.
This is entirely why I wanna retire and try to learn machining. I'd love to spend time making tools to then make more complex projects. I see it like forms and stances in dance or martial arts. Squaring sides, true parallel, and high precision fits are things that influence the rest of what you learn, even if it's "just a collet block"
Rewatching this in 2024 was jarring. It's impressive how far you've come in 50 videos and a little over a year, especially with the narration. The awkwardness is totally gone, good job.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who “collects side projects” as we progress and learn the finer points of having a “shop” 😃
That's the one constant for sure!
As a retired draftsman, seeing you do your drawing on the board made me smile. I am enjoying your channel very much.
Awesome! I hope to keep using it for my projects when I can. Drafting in itself can be a challenge that I think is interesting to share.
@@InheritanceMachining Yeah, I for one would love to keep seeing more of it. And maybe someday I'll take a class. My mom did when I was a kid, and she had a table, and used it for doing landscape design work... I was young enough that I mostly just thought it was fun to play with the moving pieces. :) It'd be fun to get properly into it someday, though.
Have you made a video series before? The edits, the script, the shots, all on point. I worked in a machine shop in high school and a bit of college, and you’re work is lighting my brain up. Stoked to watch more.
Thanks! Yes and no. I have a photography background but my wife who has helped a ton has her own successful channel.
@@InheritanceMachining cool! What’s her channel?
Seriously awesome stuff. Wishing my industrial design degree had more applied math.
It's nice to see an engineer that understands machining. Big props to you my dude.
Thanks, man!
Love everything about what you're doing. Love the production quality. Love the concept. Love the story. Love the editing. Love the clarity and brevity. Content that's almost meditative to watch. My sincere gratitude and encouragement for your efforts.
Thank you so much. That really means a lot!
It is amazing how much you know about all the parts on a lathe and the mechanics on a 5C collet. I am a self taught machinist of 20 years and truly admire people who immerse themselves like you.
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you!
For blind internal threading, get or make a boring bar that cuts on the back of the part and run the lathe in reverse. You can up the speed as much as you want because you start at the internal shoulder (Against a carriage stop if you want to just slam in and get it done) and the thread pulls out into open air so stopping point is zero stress.
As I am binge watching these old videos I can see that he did took your suggestion. I saw so many places where he is running the lathe in reverse with boring bar mounted backwards.
John Pie explained this in detail. Good idea.
Tool making is probably one of the coolest things you can do in any workshop. The ability to take tools to make more advanced tools or pieces of kit so you can make more complex things is incredibly satisfying.
One of the best channels on UA-cam I've been gunsmithing since the early '80s I just think you should pay homage to your grandfather in every video for without him this wouldn't be possible
Thanks! You are absolutely right! But I know he would have hated that, or anything sappy. I will probably have more stories to share about him when they seem relevant.
I can understand that but I do look forward to hearing some more stories about him
Really like you handdraw instead of using computers...
Technical handdrawing is art for a old-school machinist.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it...
I was happy to see the wood block covering the lathe ways when you changed the chuck. I don't remember seeing that in your lathe cleaning video. I would also like to say I enjoy your video style.
Just a little tip I learned from MANY commenters last time. Thanks!
What an amazing channel you have here. I wish you all the best and I'm sure your grandfather is beyond himself with pride in the care you take to honor your shared passion. It's really a beautiful thing.
Thank you!
Just wanted to say, I burned out in engineering school and did only a little CNC and the clean side of a specialty shop (I only turned threads once), but this reminds me of the folk who passed on from the shop and the days of being young and wondering why Laplace and the j-axis hated me so much. Thanks. Your work, and your presentation, are top notch.
Great to see someone not only enjoy their shed time but also be proud enough to share and then spend enough time and thought to make the sharing a professional production - cheers mate.
Much appreciated!
What a great video to have breakfast with! This video really captures all the different little tangents that a machinist (or anyone) gets into when doing a project. And for a high school student like myself, it was just so good to watch.
It truly is a constant battle. Glad you enjoyed it!
Watching you turn your pencil markings into a physical object is something I love watching you do.
I wish your grandpa could see these projects and what you are using these beautiful behemoths to make.
This is so enjoyable, so unique. I love seeing you two (three) living your best life. And I like to think Grandpa would love this as well. Thank you for honoring him.
Thank you, L! :)
Wat
Love the channel and video style!! Keep up the great work, can’t wait for the next video.
Thanks so much!!
You should make the plans for the collet blocks available for hobby guys like us to print out and use, they look very well drawn out and professional! It’s been fun watching you restore all your grandfathers old machines and tools.
Thanks! I’ll see what I can get together
I would love to make a set of these. I just love the whole layout of your content. The machine work, the editing, the voiceover, all of it. I really like your shop setup and how well organized you are.
Hope you’re doing awesome 🍻
By far, my most valued series. Every instalment is mesmerising. Thanks for putting in all the work from editing & scripting to actually doing the work.
That means a lot. Thanks for the support!
I find your videos very relaxing and i feel no need to skip around. Keep it up!
Awesome, thank you!
It's a VIRTUOUS cycle! Or so I tell myself whenever I need to apply some discipline to get through a project...
UA-cam algorithm finally works - feeding me with a channel I'm glad I found. This feels like Rainfall Projects meets This Old Tony. Love it =)
Hey! Two of my favorite channels. I'll take that!!
Work on Ford's all day at work, still tuned in to watch you work on one. Looks like a real nice kit. Thanks for the content, brother!
You have a great new channel going. I really like your video style and have learned something new on each episode. Congrats on the first project.
Thanks, Jeff! I appreciate it!
I really liked old school drafting in the 90s. I had really tidy arrows.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels since I've found it. I've been watching every video from the 1st on the channel and have really enjoyed it.
This was great to watch! I'm excited to see you dial these in on the surface grinder once you've got that restored. Keep up the great work!
Your attention to detail is what makes a very good machinist and someone I would seek out for any work I needed done.
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
Tip for the future: The angle marks on the compound aren't the most accurate. So you can indicate your angle useing a known angle. In your case just put in the 5C collet adapter in the lathe and indicate off that and you'll have a perfect copy.
Machining and woodworking are very similar in many ways; both can involve significant machines, and both machinists and woodworkers build parts and jigs for their shop as a self-learning tool as much as they do it to be proud of something they’ve made. I am a woodworker, and I’ve always wanted to dive into machining. Your channel helps me do that, but without all the expense! I just have to watch what you do, and I feel like I’m right there doing it! So thank you for doing what you do, so well!
Well we will be sure to keep them coming! I've done a fair amount of wood work on the house we are renovating. Custom cabinets, drawers, doors, trim, and of course general framing. As such we've acquired a ton of tools in that space as well. But by no means would I call myself a woodworker. I can definitely appreciate the skill involved there. It's simultaneously like working with metal and completely different at the same time.
Hey I’m in on the ground floor of a great channel. I love your style of filming. I like the narration and the projects. I’ll be watching, great job new guy.
Much appreciated! Welcome!
Man U scored some nice gear from your pops
New favorite UA-cam channel.
Wow! Thanks!
Great videos 👍 love the equipment and content. The fact that it is your grandfather's is awesome. Really like that history. Makes it special too.
Thank you so much!
Nicely done. Will look forward to the next installment 👍
Thank you!
Your grandfather would be so proud.
Thank you 🙏
Love this channel! Beautiful content and narration!
Thank you!
Woo Hoo, first of many projects! Your doing great on you content. So thank you for all your effort in putting together a top notch Video, keep it up! Cheers, John
Thanks so much!
That was an ambitious project... and amazingly well done for just getting familiar with the various machines and tools.
Much appreciated! Though this isn't my first time using these machines or doing these kinds of operations. But definitely needed the practice
Your content, presentation, video and machining skills make a very watchable combo. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate that! Thank you!
"Chamfers are what separate us from the animals" and wood workers. -BlondiHacks
I wanted to say this! But I'm not about to steal her slogans!
Nice work, and really like what you're doing. Definite bonus points for using the drafting table! Great job cleaning and caring for those machines. You grandfather would be very pleased.
:D Thank you!
My favorite new channel!
Wow! Thanks!
Nice work.
Great idea.
Your Grandfather would be proud of you.
Great and useful content.
Thank you, EM.
Thanks!
If you can keep this up, and I really hope you do, this is going to be a very successful channel. Great work, a warm pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
It’s not the destination. It’s the journey.
man im exhausted just watching.. excellent work
Me too haha thanks!
This is gold sir. So glad to take this trip with ya. Can't wait to see the next video!
Thank you so much!
I haven't seen anyone but myself put pen to paper in decades!
Unfortunately my highschool drafting and architecture classes were back in the 1970's. 😂
Nice projects to warm up on!
Its hard to believe your grandfather didn't have many amongst his tooling trove.
The details _do_ matter. It's like anything else, the knowledge and passion you put into something pays dividends every time you pick it up.
1970's or 2000's, the drafting technology was the same! You are absolutely right. Above all else, my goal of this endeavor is to create something I am proud of.
I love you going back to hand drawing!
After watching this video I start thinking to get the small drafter back to my office again.
While it's not super efficient, its very relaxing. I'd recommend it if you like that sort of thing
You should have put the 5C internal thread inside the nut for the collet stop. A very useful addition.
You did well on side projects. In software development we have a saying "yak shaving" when you start one job, which leads to a side project, which leads to another, which leads to another, and so on. You didn't shave any yaks here. A job well done!
😂 I think that term is used in machining too. Thanks!
Good job👌👌👍👍
Very beautiful job. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work. Keep Making. God Bless.
Thank you, Sir!
I love your content. I love working in silence and your method is great!
Thanks!
Fantastic episode. Well done. 👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks!
Therapeutic is a perfect description when doing a drawing or sketch. Possibly an engineer (CE for me)thing or maybe more so for dimensional reference and records. I sure wish all of mine were on 8-1/2” x 11”. Thanks for the videos.
Contenido de altísima calidad!!! Gracias por compartirlo!!!😎
Thank you!
Inspiring! My new favorite chanel 😍😃
Wow! Thank you!
You have made your Grandpa so proud !😂
Great project!
Great video, as always! For the internal threads I like to flip my tool upside down and go on reverse feeding away from the chuck. That way you can position the start of the thread easily and then you can run as fast as you want :D
Thanks, Piotr! Are you sure you're not using a reversed tool? Flipping a tool like mine would still require feeding into the part. Trust me! I was trying everything I could to avoid feeding in! lol
@@InheritanceMachining I only meant for threading, not boring
@@PiotrSarnacki I'm talking about internal threading too. With a tool like the one I used (only one I have) if I flip it, I'll have to cut on the "far" side of the bore, but still need to run the lathe forward and still have to feed into the bore. If i start inside and feed out I would cut a left hand thread. Hopefully that makes sense
@@InheritanceMachining omg, sorry, you’re totally right! I haven’t done it in a while and now when I realized this I recall I used a HSS tool I ground, must have been a left hand tool
@@PiotrSarnacki All good! Took me a while to wrap my head around it so if there was a chance my tool would work I was hoping someone could convince me of it haha.
Super cool to be able to make your own tools for making tools like this. Great work, even if you did need to go back and repair it later. Thanks for a wonderful video of it, too.
Much appreciated. That's all part of the fun 😁
@@InheritanceMachining Nice. Well, I'm having fun watching. And here's hoping I can actually have a place to build a shop one day. :)
"Chamfers are sexy"... I like this. Many decades ago, a machinist told me, "Chamfers are what separates us from the animals". I had used this quote a few times over the years with odd looks or laughs from co-workers, until I recently heard it repeated by Blondiehacks. So it must just be an old-school saying. From now on, I will simply combine both quotes.
Great content, sir! Keep them coming.
Admittedly the original is way funnier. But I'm not about to go stealing Blondiehacks lines! Thanks!
A thoroughly enjoyable video, and my new favourite channel. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
😁 Thanks and welcome!
Love your channel 👏👌
Cheers Chris
Don't you just love a good side project! And making tools to make more stuff. Nice video, thanks for sharing. Although it's just like my life in my shed.
I'm glad you see it my way! Thanks!
Ive watched every video pretty much as soon as it came out. Time to subscribe!
Ha! Much appreciated!
Well done all the best to you and yours from John in Texas
Thanks, John!
I really love your videos. Your narration is informative and a bit whimsical. I especially liked your reference to the gorilla in the room; the side project. Almost no project that I have embarked on has not resulted in multiple side projects, but they are equally fun and since I am not working on a deadline (just a hobbyist) they help to keep me busy.
You are absolutely right. There is no avoiding them! Though they are especially abundant in my circumstance. So I exploit them for content :D Thanks for the support!
Very enjoyable and instructive. Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
keep it up what a great gift you've acquired
Thank you!
hola ¡CRACK! el video esta Woooooow
#Excelente! sos un genio!!
amigo 🤜🤛👍👊💪
amazing content mate.
Enjoyed that! Gratitude
Thank you!
Keep it up dude.👍🏿
Great work on the machining and the video. I see great things coming for this channel. Cheers from South Africa.
Much appreciated!
Great Video Still learning Thanks
Very nicely done and beautiful drawings.
Thank you!
I'm really enjoying the videos so far, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks I am a 72 year old newbie can’t wait to see your next project
Thanks!
Great video I enjoy your style and commentary. Sometimes the side jobs at the best part of the big job. It makes you slow down and rethink before you go too fast and make a mistake. Can’t wait till the next video.
You have a point! I have no bought they will be a recurring theme in my stories. Thanks for the support.
i'm in LOVE with your channel, thank you so muchh
my pleasure!
great content, looking forward to the next video
Awesome, thank you!
The problem I've found with the collet blocks is in the locking lever handle that come with a set you purchase. It clamps the part fine however when you release it it doesn't always let the part like a round bar come out without knocking it forward. Maybe you can design a spring loaded locking handle that will push the collet out of the block when released. I have been unable to find anything like that anywhere.
Great video.
Great job. Enjoying the videos.
I appreciate it!
Remember Blondihacks’ wise words, “chamfers are what separate us from animals.”
That's exactly right!
you have a new subscriber from the uk. really like the content, and i still miss my lathe & mill. hopefully work will be starting on my new workshop soon but you know how life can get in the way
Much appreciated. Yes I definitely do. I've basically been waiting 10 years for this.
G'day mate, top job. Great to see the usage of these great machines. Your in a great position to get all this gear and be able to use it. Many would have just got rid of it. Looking forward to more videos mate . Ta Steve
Much appreciated!
Very nice projects, and cery nice shop 😀
Thank you very much!
That's worth a subscribe! Looking forward to future videos!
Much Appreciated!
Getting TOT vibes from this guy. Subscribed!
That's quite the compliment. Thank you!
Just found your channel & subscribed, I'm in the process of making collet blocks thanks for sharing 🇬🇧👍.
What a coincidence! Glad you enjoyed. Thanks!
Very good and inspiring sirrr
A razor blade used as a scraper is a great way to remove the surface rust from machined surfaces like a bandsaw table. It doesn’t remove the original surface and just planes the rust off. It doesn’t clog up like sandpaper or put grit everywhere. Just a quick buff with some oily scotchbright and you’re done.
That's a great tip. I've used that technique for sludge but never though to try it on rust. Thanks!
