SNS 202: Shaft Turning, Left Hand Drill Bits, Shaper Parts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Machining content this week includes machining a new gearbox shaft and milling the keyways, removing 6 broken bolts using left hand drills, and using the boring mill to drill a threaded rod out of a clevis.
We also have some parts to share for the G&E shaper that a viewer has loaned me, and I talk about more of the oiling system parts that I am going into.

Loved the shot of the drill breaking through
Those LED lights are so good. Replaced some T8 garbage with new 8' LED's' and it's night and day difference. Only thing I'm lacking at my place are those police sirens :)
Adam, Absolutely 100% better lighting and an excellently done video always enjoy your videos.!.
New lighting is great!
Like I keep telling a friend of mine when we (more so he) hit a hard stop after our efforts and ingenuity aren't enough, the right tool makes a hell of a difference
YOU BETCHER LIFESAVERS-!!
Before you mentioned the new lighting on the tool bench, I thought you got a wax job or something. Man, your head is shiny...lol, I'm just razzin' ya, keep up the good vids...
Abom79, nice pictures of Stella that I had seen in this video, great video, awesome work.
When I watch your channel I feel it's a privilege to learn more about machinist work, something I didn't have a clue about. Now if I'm with someone who does this work, I'll be able to understand what they're explaining. It's really amazing to have you and UA-cam so readily available when only a few years ago I'd never have dreamed about this type work.
I Love your stuff Brother!
Lighting is awesome!
Ahhh the broken bolts of everlasting and unending sorrow.. unless you happen to be ADAM BOOTH, whereby they are happily vanquished.
He made it look easy that's for sure. I think I've had good luck with reverse bits exactly ONCE
Wow Adam what a stunning job on that shaft. You did. Man I would love to do work like that.
would be cool if you could fab up a door for the new machine out of plexi just so you can see it running.
When our new shop foreman took over he eliminated all the bolts that weren't grade eight. That solved most of our broken bolt problem.
I just wish our machines at work would cut within 0.001" with no taper. I always have to stop at 2-3thou over and sand it to size.
That gets fun with the Nardini lathe...7-10thou taper in 36"...after tweaking. The ways are shot.
These replacement shafts that you , do you get a drawing with dimensions or do you have measure the old one the best you can even with the damage?
Hey Adam can you provide the link for the LED lights again?
What do we use left handed drill bits for as apposed to right and drill bit. Still new to machining
Andrew Arche
Frequently to remove broken bolts as they may unscrew in the reverse direction the drill rotates.
The spacing is exactly the same??? When a skilled machinist like you says that I picture a 6 foot stack of gauge blocks between cylindrical squares up on the ceiling since the 6 foot calipers are not accurate enough lol
The intro clip, that was on the bore machine at Motion, Right?
Adam what is the brand of orange gloves you use.
Brand name is Gloveworks.
Adam, that Tee shirt is looking a tab bit loose.
Apart from removing bolts, what is the normal use for a left hand drill bit?
claus christensen That’s the only thing I use them for.
They were used in early multi spindle drill heads. The spindles were geared together, so each alternate spindle counter rotated ( If that makes sense) Every other drill needed to be left handed.
Webtoedman, that makes sense. Saves on the amount of gears needed. Thanks for clearing that up.
Who makes the left hand drill bit set?
0:34 Great shot! I've never seen a drill tip coming through a work piece like that before, at least at an observable speed.
I just got to comment, again....you are a master, it is a joy to watch you work...I really enjoy your videos..I tell all my club members to watch and subscribe( classical club)....keep on doing your sis specials....till next time....
As a retired theatrical lighting designer, I can say that you new LED lighting is obviously going to work well for shop use, and the new lights are working very well for video lighting at the bench.
You have good face lighting coming from in front and above at a good natural angle (the light bouncing off the wall in front of you and lighting your face) and the direct light coming down on you is making a good "key" light. This brightens your shoulders and around your head, and forms what is known as a "halo" that separates you from the background and makes you 'pop out' as an individual and not part of the scenery. (Look at the talking heads on TV news, you will see the same lighting technique -- it works well).
A suggestion -- when you put a row of new lights down the other side of the shop, put them on a separate switch so you can turn them off when shooting video at the bench. You want the background to be a little darker than yourself in the the foreground to get good video, and if you brighten up the background, you are going to start blending in to the background, even with the key light effect you now have. The brightness you have there now works great for video, but I'm sure you will want to get that side brighter for shop use someday. Just leave the new lights there off when shooting video at the bench.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for posting video of the work you do. It’s awesome to learn from a master in the shop doing real work for real clients in a real shop. I’ve learned so much more from you than I ever learned in class.
Is there anything I can contribute to help you out and show my appreciation?
yeah them lights put a nice shine on that big ole head
It is no surprise that you get the You Tube awards at all. Excellent technical quality and excellent content. Saying well done and thumbs up aren't strong enough.
What I can'e understand is the thumbs down. I guess some people just don't appreciate quality and expertise.
Jealousy is real. If only removing broken bolts was that easy in the real world. Adam and his freakin voodoo alternate reality. How's the weather in the matrix?
I love your channel Adam and just want to thank you for sticking with us. I know sometimes people can be iffy at best and you sir, are the man
I'm so glad that 'Ave' pointed me to your channel, it's so interesting and full of knowledge.
My shop, such as it is, is full of fluerecenct lights and I was thinking of upgrading to led, I think you've made that decision for me, your shop is so 'bright' now.
Glyn Davies not only is it a cheaper per watt light (I converted 90% of my house over to led) it provides a nice true wavelength color, and depending on your taste can be tuned to perfect color renderings.. it's the way to go, till the new light tech comes out, and that may be a few hundred years
did you check with Kieth Rucker about those sight glasses. I know he had to replace some of his restoration projects
Hi Adam
New lights are great and have lifted the visual quality of your video footage.
The content needs no lifting as it's great keep up the good work.
Best wishes
Regards Mark Over the pond in the UK
I can see the weight loss in your face. Great job brother
Hi i watch your videos all the time . I have learned a lot. My next project is to make anti chattering 1” boring bar can take carbide insert. Looking for some advice. Thanks
That shaft is a thing of beauty - I can fully understand your pride in producing such a thing. I have learned so much from your channel and I'm pleased and grateful that your employers are enlightened enough to let you film your work when possible.
Hey Adam, have you lost weight?
First few things on your video i saw on Instagram:-)
Wow Adam you loose a lot of weight sins I saw you on last SNS! Keep going!
Dude, I honestly mistakenly thought you were shooting with a new camera because the lighting was so much better. Cheers!
Adam, while I'm into hobby woodworking I still find your videos very informative, and I do pick up some tricks. One thing, though, is definitely common: nature abhors vacuum! My little shop/garage also is crammed to the last cubic inch, which unfortunately doesn't prevent me from ordering new toys... Thanks for all your effort, much appreciated!
As an apprentice I used to make similar gear box shafts in the fifties. We could not finish ours on the lathes because the lathes were worn out. We left twenty thou for the cylindrical grinder to remove. If we left more than .020 it made the grinders mad because they were on piece work. Our gear boxes were used in the Arabian oil fields. Long time ago.
If you keep it up you may become unable to use those Abom-size tools anymore 😟
... but it's giving you a badass Bruce Willis vibe. 👍
Thumbs up if you paused it to read the MAN CAVE RULES!
Anyone else feel a tad bit foolish when he busted out the left handed drill bits to get out the broken bolts? Thinking to myself oh dear God you're such an ass you've ruined so many things trying to get out bolts the wrong way.
Brandon I know how you feel and if anyone is looking for a cheap convenient way to get a set harbor freight sells a decent little set up to 1/4in bit.
The harbor freight bits scare me.. I've got some but they tend to break and one at a time I buy usa bits, soon I'll have paid for 4 indexes lol instead of doing it right the first time because of the cost of one at a time
Awesome stuff, Bud. If that vid was 3hrs long i probably would have watched it all the way through without noticing.
Glen you are so right.
Might hurt my viewer retention at that point. 😆
Mallet-fisted broken bolts are so easy with the right tools and know-how. What's really fun is taking them out in front of the guy that himself in trouble with them originally.
Sending you a care package next week Adam. Should help you out with that tall sight glass.
noticed the new lights instantly :-) also noticed less Adam - looking good Adam .
Watching that left handed drill bit bring out those broken bolts is a good candidate for one of those "Strangely Satisfying" videos. Can't wait to see that shaper in action. The shop lighting is amazing. You are positively glowing with happiness. Great to see.
Cheers from B.C.
I thought you had a new camera or something, turns out to be the new lighting so that's looking good man!
I hope your employer knows what a jewel he has In Adam Booth as a machinist. Your dad and grand-dad would be very proud of you as a machinist and as a UA-cam creator. WOW, 162K!!!!!
Hey Abom, could you do a video or add a small clip in one of your videos of you using one of those threading inserts that fix the threads? Ive never seen one and it seems pretty interesting
I actually have a gearbox to do on Monday, 3/4-10 holes. I have shown them on some previous videos.
I love watching you ply your craft. You're a prime example of what happens when you do what you love. Taking a rough piece of material, and turning it into a piece of art is what you do. I'm a 55 year old man now, but way back when, industrial arts is what got me through high school. Every one of my wood, and metal shop teachers had the same demeanor that you do. Safety, patience, planning, execution, pride. You're a man to be respected, Adam. Thanks for your contributions by sharing your wealth of knowledge, and for sharing a little bit of yourself, and your life with all of us. *Peace*
I was just watching your video where you are removing the oil from the shaper ... the light quality in THIS video with the new LED lighting is awesome in comparison. I'm sure you can see the difference as well. You can see the work surface so much better and see the parts/equipment at the bench a lot better. Details pop with it. Great stuff. I'm definitely jealous of the lighting and want to get my garage setup with the same. Awesome stuff.
Man! that left hand drill is the abom.
Those new lights make such a difference. Thanks for sharing some of your work from your day-job. Your video quality is awesome. Like someone else said, never seen / heard someone so happy over the lighting in a shop.
Man your looking great ! And not just because of the light witch is really good!
There is no way all 6 of those broken studs came out, everyone knows about sods law! If that were me, 5 of them would be no problem, the 6th one would take the rest of the day! Good job Adam! Top Drawer as always!
Well, all of those would've been welded solid before I was done, because I ain't got any proper tools to deal with broken bolts. All hand drills and poor quality extractor tools(are there any actual good quality ones? Feels like no matter the vendor they all deliver the same crap, and we're talking expensive "industrial" tools here). Oh well, I usually manage, but it would've been nice to have at least a real drill-press or a mill to use the left hand drill method for sure!
Yep the light make a big difference. Great work on the turning of that shaft
Shop looks brighter and better looking everytime I see it! Shaper action should be coming soon!
way to go Adam , love SNS , hope you and Abbie are doing well .
That shaft work is perfection in manual machine work. ‘Thank you’ to your employer for allowing a few videos from work. It really shows off not only your skills, but the degree of perfection and quality a customer will receive. The business ought to have you start a channel for them, as part of both marketing and promotions, and also as a proof of performance as to ‘whats inside’, for the clients.
Nice lighting in the home shop. I just put a LED strip over our baby lathe... OMG, such good light! no glare, low shadows, all around far better than fluorescent tubes that were less light and prone to flicker with age.
i really like the balance you have following both shop projects and the touching on the projects on sns vids! awesome work keep at it!
You are like a kid on xmas morning with the new lights,Turning them on and off...The lights do look great...Wisconsin Bear
Hey Adam, thanks for another great SNS. Whoever sheared the 6 bolts off can sleep easy once again. I'm just off to get some sunglasses ready for SNS 203! :)
They said all the heads were stripped out so they drilled the heads off the bolts for disassembly. I love the new lighting!
Any chance you can pour some more concrete I miss the comments from the sidewalk superintendents.
Think I can get em back for a third time?? 🤔
LED lighting is the bomb! You don't know you're working in the dark until you install LED's.
Thought you bought a new fancy camera because of the picture quality, but it was the lighting! HUGE difference. I don't know what it is but I could watch you remove broken bolts all day long - maybe Channel #3? "Abom all-day Bolt Removal" ? Always great content Adam.
Love all the new lighting. That's gotta help reduce some fatigue too, not straining as much, even if you don't notice.
the lighting looks good. the older you get the more you appreciate good lighting. i recently changed the 30 fixtures in my shop to led and i love it.
how much has the power needs versus available light changed? i'm imagining the LEDS would use a stack less power
Shop looks great Adam! Looking forward to the next video.
Your editing skills have improved so much over the last couple years. Love the blending if content. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Like a kid in the candy store!!! Good for you. Glad to see you happy withj your shop
Need a shout out to the custom cut foam for shipping. Custom fit must have taken a little while. Pretty cool work
Looking good Adam. Love your videos and great to share your excitement in the new shaper and it’s projects!
great looking videos Adam. The new lights make it even better.
Beautiful opening shot and sound (2” bit) !
you might find like i did from another company that just cause they say they can supply it doesn't mean the have it in stock and i waited 5 weeks for some fuel tank sealer ..went some where else got it next day ,so always ask if they actually have it in stock on there shelves before you order
Great video Adam nice machine work on the shaft. Your lights look great in the shop,and looking forward to some shaper footage.
lighting looks great Adam no substitute for good lighting.
Hey Adam you are looking great
I just got a pretty decent Japanese lathe with auto feed and thread settings it has a 3 jaw and a tail stock and steady rest
Its not the best out there but i am extremely excited to get turning
You are a huge inspiration for me thanks for all of the videos and knowledge
The only bad thing about those LED lights is that I'm getting addicted to light. I just keep buying more.
I'm guessing those lights sip electricity.
Thanks Adam I enjoyed the SNS.. Cant wait to see that shaper in action. Cant beat the viewers, there is always someone who comes through and helps out. Real nice of him to loan you the parts so you can copy them and get you machine up and running like it should.. Thumbs up
Got that right Steve! I heard someone sent you a set of tool holders...👊🏻
Working on the oil system this week. Hope to making chips by Saturday.
If you name your machines, genie would be a good name for the shaper and katie for the k&t, victor is of course victor what would the monarch be? Elizabeth?
Adam, you look like you've been losing weight already.
Thanks! ☺️
Noticed that myself, too.
My respects to you Abom!! You inspire me I feel like machining something now! That was a nice rebuilt gear box by the way
good lighting, I love Left hand drills, I have lots of them.
Adam, very nice video. The new lights are great, especially at your bench. Much better and the white balance was spot on. R
Just started a fire to take the chill off on a cold day. Nice to have something worthwhile to watch/learn. Thanks Adam!
Awesome man ive seen just about all of your videos this one looks professional man !!!! keep em coming (put a key way in a coupling on the shaper that would be nice to see.) i got some tools im gunna send you one day
Adam, you're the man!
Ray with Ozark tool manuals is steppin of Rucker's toes, huh? He might end up putting Keith out of business. There's only enough room for one vintage tool manuals company. LOL.
Love these videos. Good lights over the bench but isn't Adam a bit too shiny? May have to get that Avon79 channel sponsor to provide stage makeup. 😋
Those new lights are lots better, they do away with all the shadows you had in the shop. . . . good move getting them. Bet you see things better.
The new lights made a huge difference! I thought you had a new camera! Love your videos!
Never thought of using my planer gauge to locate flats. Thanks for that one Adam.
What type of wheel was on that bench grinder. Scotch brite or something new i dont even know about ha ?
Scotchbright wheel
