this whole project is the kind of thing the world needs more of. skilled tradespeople who really care about their work, working together to keep the machines of metal work doing their job.
I just want you to know us service guys appreciate when you machinist champher your work the ease of assembly you'll never know how much money you save us in time
I have a Sunnen Hone. It’s changed how I do machine work. You can hone the last few thousands and get a very nice finish. Thanks for sharing your videos.
I’m with J Sochieode ; I too miss your Dad & Grandad’s pics in the credits etc. They were great teachers ...... cause you’re still making quality work, and it shows ❤️
Hey Adam, just want you to know I miss the 3 generation pic at the end of the credits. cheers! and thanks for the great content machining is an art and I have much respect.
When I started as an apprentice at the steel mill I'm at, my first job (with a tradesmen there too of course) was to make 12" cast iron piston rings for the steam hammer we have. I machined the OD and ID and width then we made a diagonal cut with a do all and heat treated them! Was awesome! Cool video.
Could you do a video explaining when to use coolant and cutting oil? Between doing electrical work on large CNC machines in the past and watching any machining videos I never could understand why some times coolant was used and some times it wasn't even on the same tool making multiple cuts.
I sure wished your videos where out, when I was an apprentice machinist. It would have helped me out with set - ups and speeds and feeds. Thanks for the videos keep up the great work !!!
Another great video. A true master craftsman at work. Watching you machine helps me in my machining at home. I'm always learning from you. Thanks for sharing with us. Dan
I grew up in a machine shop and I know how tedious and time consuming all this is but...for the life of me I just can't take my eyes off of it. It's just so fascinating no matter how many years you've been around it or away from it. I may be in the sign business now, But I honestly appreciate the work you put into everything. Thanks Abom, I love your videos and they always teach me something new that I use even out of the machine shop.
Make a multi tool for the Boring Head. Get a 1/2 inch steel or brass ball, drill 4 holes at right angles and solder in 1 inch long bits of allan key for a sort of stubby version of the ox tools hex spinner.
Had a friend and coworker buy an old early 1900s power hammer last year while we where in an industrial maintenance school. As part of the school we had full access to a machine shop. Got to watch him do a lot of mill work restoring and repair that hammer.
Hey! Thanks for the vid. I don't know how fussy hole location is on that part, but it's been my experience that when you run the knee up or down mid-project, you lose true location by at least .001 or.002". Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!
Hey buddy I'm new to your channel and I appreciate how you explain everything that you are doing. So far I've been impressed with the precision of your work. Thanks for sharing this with me.
Enjoy watching and learning from your videos. My machines and tooling is almost all about the same vintage as yours except Brown and Sharpe, South Bend , Norton and Lodge and Shipley brands.
Surprised you didn't have a shell reamer to have taken them that last little bit to size. I find that is the best way for a really good finish and easy to hit size on those long stickouts.
Hi, Adam! You should drill a hole at the end of that split as there will be a stress point. Thanks for helping to bring another Fairbanks back to life!
I am glad you asked that, as I was about to mention it. It does seem strange that a casting is being used to clamp onto the shaft, I thought you can't bend that metal very much. ( Modulus of Elasticity and all that..)
@@hiscifi2986 The original part has the same features. I believe they also ere casted. You can clearly see the split and drilled hole in multiple photos on interwebs.
Hi, Adam. That was very educational. It was my first bent-bar tool observation. Wow, I can't adjust my eyes to it. No! No! No! But it worked very well, even if it did make me feel dizzy. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!
It shouldn't need it - the saw was not deep engaged meaning there is a deep curving scallop that alleviates the majority of any stress raisers it would take several drillings to clear the length adding more issues than it solves
You're a lucky man Adam... To be able to sharpen drills and get clean holes such as this I have never been able to sharpen a drill correctly even using a drill guide I can't sharpen a bit to save my life,,, so I buy a lot of new bits I've watched videos and watched your videos and other people's videos and I've just never been able to properly sharpen a drill 😕 But you know what watching your videos and seeing satisfying results makes up for all of that so keep up the good work thank you and looking forward to more 😁
Make yourself an X holder and set in each size hex key maybe 1/2” stick out and all you have to do is flip it around to each position. You can certain produce the necessary torque on those screws with such a tool.
Hey bro great channel. In a perfect world with perfect tools you get perfect results, but the sign of a real craftsman showes that with practice, experience and perseverance you can achieve great things. Excellent, well done brother. "DOING IT ABOM STYLE".
Abom, you never cease to amaze me. This is Old School at it finest! To take a ball of rough cast and finish it off to this is a lost trade. Not too may machinists have the passion to run 100 year old machines and turn out perfection without a CNC machine!
Hi Adam, Nice job, very well explained, thank you I have a small boring head with an R8 arbor, don't know the manufacturer, but it has LIPTON hand engraved on it by some previous owner lol. Cheers Peter from Oz
You mentioned reaming first but boring was a better idea. Boring gives a better alignment between the upper and lower holes. Takes longer but with better results.
Hi Abom! What are you doing at right about 10:41, where you reach for the quill lock just as the drill is about to complete the hole and break through to the other side? Are you adding friction to the quill so that you don't bust out the other side too hard and maybe leave a bad exit hole? Please do enlighten me on this little step! Thank you.
It's possible for the drill bit to grab as you're breaking through material, acting like a tap on the flutes and screwing itself into the job. locking/tightening the quill when breaking through just aids as a brake, preventing you from "losing" the drill.
It still amazes me, that with all the mechanical, precision measurements, that even after taking the initial measurement of 0.028, then taking two swipes of 0.014, and still ending up with a remainder of 0.001 to take off. I'm wondering if that is just part of tool and die technology; parts wear down, things move a fraction of a hairs width, etc. Is this considered the normal in this incredibly complex field of expertise? I truly enjoy Adam's channel, and find myself so excited when the next installment comes along. Thank you for what you do!!
You know being a non-machinist I watch you and see it done with my own eyes and still say how the heck can it work out that way. Then you throw a crooked boring bar into the mix and ---- it must be witchcraft.
OH...if you can, can you do a disassembly video of that small boring head, and have a giveaway of a set of sketches of the dimensions? I'm sure a lot of your viewers would want a set to copy and maybe make their own setup.
Hi. Yet another great video! Quick question - I noticed you stopped when drilling the hole to check the finished size, after 1-2mm (sorry 1/8" inch). Do you ever stop just as the drill enters the pilot hole to check the 'chamfers' created by the drill. I have issues with clamping/centralisation on auto-load CNC machines and a way of checking correct clamping is to ensure that the chamfer is uniform between the rough/pilot bore and the finished bore.
Might be overkill but would a 3/16 stop-drill at the end of the saw slit be a good idea to reduce the possibility of stress cracking when the hammer cross is cinched down? Keep up the great work & God Bless!
Abom, did anyone tell you the trick of wrapping some solder around the bar to reduce vibration and chatter? If it fell off, it would have been too soft to damage the bit or part, but you can prevent that by twist-tying the ends together. Try it, I was 19 in 1973, and the machinists that taught me were in their late 60s.
That boring head is really cool. That's actually one of the things I've been thinking about making. You could do all kind's of countersink/counter bore geometry in one step. I have cheap dro scale's to change the board's out in for those big digit cheap caliper's of course I got to wait for my $30 O scope to show up (hopefully not embeded in a snowbank somewhere) I think the databus on those is more compatible with the yuriy's toys dro that caliper gut actually has a pad for soldering a usb socket on it ... fingers crossed awesome work adam your the best!
“Where does he get those wonderful toys?” I learn something new from every single episode! I’d say you are more artist than machinist, but either way, I appreciate your dedication and passion for the trade.
Impressively curly cast iron chips!
Probably the most precision machined power hammer component in the world.
Very true. You don’t see power hammers with this fine machining on them. 😆
This old tony made it and then traveled back in time and sold it to your grandfather or dad
25:32 boring heads are never boring, especially when they're boring
There is something oddly satisfying about watching someone vacuum up chips!
LOL, teachers pet! ;-)
Not as satisfying as making them
Man you took the words right out of my mouth!!! Just for us OCD people though!!👍🇺🇸
I mean yea. I’m 14 and if I made those chips and sucked them up, he’d kill me 😆
this whole project is the kind of thing the world needs more of. skilled tradespeople who really care about their work, working together to keep the machines of metal work doing their job.
I just want you to know us service guys appreciate when you machinist champher your work the ease of assembly you'll never know how much money you save us in time
100% 0n that!
Chamfers save assemblers and machinists a bunch of money in band-aids too.
25:31 "I'm not gonna keep 'boring' you..." I don't care if that pun was intentional or not, I loved it.
I have a Sunnen Hone. It’s changed how I do machine work. You can hone the last few thousands and get a very nice finish.
Thanks for sharing your videos.
Internet: "Bar is bent."
Abom: "We call that work hardened."
Really takes me back to my apprenticeship here in the UK I used to love this type of work
I’m with J Sochieode ; I too miss your Dad & Grandad’s pics in the credits etc. They were great teachers ...... cause you’re still making quality work, and it shows ❤️
All those fancy cutting bits and tools yet there's still nothing better than a super sharp drill bit effortlessly dropping through a chunk of metal.
I truly believe Adam got the sharpest drill bits known to men...
Considering the age's of some of those drill bits, and the knowledge of a bench grinder😉
Hey Adam, just want you to know I miss the 3 generation pic at the end of the credits. cheers! and thanks for the great content machining is an art and I have much respect.
He only shows that at the end of the SNS episodes.

abom watching you is better then what's on tv
I must say that drilling sound ,,,brings back the shop days!! I miss it !Cheers!
@Abom79 your voice is so soothing that you could be a great therapist.
This are the difficult jobs , small diameter , long tools, only experience tells you how to do this
Small diameter? O_o
As a hobbyist, I don't drill anything larger than his pilot holes

Thank you Adam I always enjoy watching your videos I am from South Africa
I enjoy seeing the tooling that you have. Thank you Adam for showing and sharing them.
Awesome video!! It was never boring!!! 👍🏻
6 years & still learning a little something Adam, Always a good time catching up bud
Thank you, enjoyed watching the project. Interesting part to have to work with. Always learn something new from you.
Somebody's granddad took pride making that boring head. Smart stuff as always, Mr. Booth. Cheers.
I really like the “speed” you cut the 1 1/8 bushing holes to ..... I have no experience with a Do-All but I’m rather fond of that one 😃❤️👍
Hey! Thanks for the vid. I don't know how fussy hole location is on that part, but it's been my experience that when you run the knee up or down mid-project, you lose true location by at least .001 or.002". Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!

Sound on video has really improved. Good work.
Enjoy watching and learning from your videos. My machines and tooling is almost all about the same vintage as yours except Brown and Sharpe, South Bend , Norton and Lodge and Shipley brands.
Boring holes with having the bushings in hand? Mighty brave there.
You could NEVER bore me with your boring videos! :-D
Surprised you didn't have a shell reamer to have taken them that last little bit to size. I find that is the best way for a really good finish and easy to hit size on those long stickouts.
I’ve got quite a few but wanted to use the boring head to fish it to size. She’ll mill would be another good way to finish out those bores though.
That's a mighty expensive powerhammer if you ask me...i'm curious about part 6,7,8
Awesome Adam, thanks for sharing with us. One more step to being finished. Looks great. Fred. 👏🏻👏🏻👍👍
perfection! and notifications are working properly! (figured out what works best--truth be told)
Awesome job and teaching.
Thank you for these. I find them immensely interesting and informative. You have created an enormously valuable resource.
Watching those machines do what they do is never boring.... I'm not looking for
Instant graduation....

@@hiscifi2986 The original part has the same features. I believe they also ere casted. You can clearly see the split and drilled hole in multiple photos on interwebs.
This bar is really funky. And sounds funky too 😀
My favorite line "I'm not gonna keep boring you". Hehe nice! My favorite joke is "I hate drilling holes it's such a bore!"
Fun to watch the metal evolve. Not much room for error. That's for sure.
That looked like a lot of wobble you had there.! Interesting though. Thank you.
That's the offset in the head, which he was adjusting to control the size of the hole.
Indexing and zeroing that boring bar would make an interesting video.
Hi, Adam. That was very educational. It was my first bent-bar tool observation. Wow, I can't adjust my eyes to it. No! No! No! But it worked very well, even if it did make me feel dizzy. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!
Lots of work and set up for a small piece, enjoying the video
2:00 listening to all that measurement and numbers in imperial drives me crazy as a metric guy :)
Consider it a mental challenge. :)
Very Cool process, Thanks Abom.
Your vids are a pleasure to watch, Adam. True master of your craft.
Aren't you going to mill a hole at the end of the slot you cut with the slitting saw to prevent cracking when it is tightened and loosened?
It shouldn't need it - the saw was not deep engaged meaning there is a deep curving scallop that alleviates the majority of any stress raisers it would take several drillings to clear the length adding more issues than it solves
You're a lucky man Adam...

Loving the little deburing tool at the beginning Adam....peace n love from Cumbria uk
Also from Cumbria
Machining C.I. it just never gets old
Looked chaotic in the beginning. Please don’t let gootube drive your content. You do you. Love you brother.
Beautiful chips. Tools must be sharp 👍

Hey bro great channel. In a perfect world with perfect tools you get perfect results, but the sign of a real craftsman showes that with practice, experience and perseverance you can achieve great things. Excellent, well done brother. "DOING IT ABOM STYLE".
Ngl, that pass with the 1 1/16" bit had my cheeks clenched for fear of the down pressure breaking one of those ears off.
No way, not in cast iron. Not that thickness. Stuff machines great. I love turning small cast pieces in my kindergarten lathe.
Several spectacular close up views in this one. Ron W4BIN
great work Adam , Looking like a great usable part now ! From a rough cast to your magic hands .. ENJOYED
There is no sharper drill bit than an Abom drill bit.
Great video production and discussion/build
I always learn something from his videos
Abom, you never cease to amaze me. This is Old School at it finest! To take a ball of rough cast and finish it off to this is a lost trade. Not too may machinists have the passion to run 100 year old machines and turn out perfection without a CNC machine!
Awesome job as usual !!!
Hi Adam, Nice job, very well explained, thank you
I have a small boring head with an R8 arbor, don't know the manufacturer, but it has LIPTON hand engraved on it by some previous owner lol. Cheers Peter from Oz
Are you going to tidy up the two unintentional holes somehow?
splendid work. cheers.
Adam how do you recycle chips and scrap for a small shop do you separate it and what weight do you wait to till to you recycle.
He's mentioned it isn't worth it. Steel scrap goes for about 8 cents a pound. And you'd have to keep all the different kinds separated.
You mentioned reaming first but boring was a better idea. Boring gives a better alignment between the upper and lower holes. Takes longer but with better results.
ooh a long one today, that looks fun to machine.
Hi Abom! What are you doing at right about 10:41, where you reach for the quill lock just as the drill is about to complete the hole and break through to the other side? Are you adding friction to the quill so that you don't bust out the other side too hard and maybe leave a bad exit hole? Please do enlighten me on this little step! Thank you.

Music suggestion - waltz music for boring sequences. :-D

That is so satisfying when you vacuum up the chips. :-)
You know being a non-machinist I watch you and see it done with my own eyes and still say how the heck can it work out that way. Then you throw a crooked boring bar into the mix and ---- it must be witchcraft.
It's a single point cutting tool. As long as the offset from the bend is being turned in a circle, then the cut hole will be a circle.
Nice intro, quality parts don't just happen....:-)
OH...if you can, can you do a disassembly video of that small boring head, and have a giveaway of a set of sketches of the dimensions?

Good response to all the naysayers who griped about your last video being too short. Make them wish they had never said anything.
Love to learn that. So great. Thank you.
“Where does he get those wonderful toys?”
I learn something new from every single episode! I’d say you are more artist than machinist, but either way, I appreciate your dedication and passion for the trade.
You should put googley eyes on your shop vac so it looks like a hungry anteater when it's sucking up all the chips.
Im not a machinist but love your vids, keep it up!!!
