Adam Savage's One Day Builds: New Drill Press Table!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- This weekend project has Adam taking apart his Powermatic drill press and lugging the entire machine to the center of the cave to switch out its table with a new one he bought online. But here's the catch: the new table's mount is just slightly narrower than the drill press's column can accommodate, so Adam needs to precisely mill out just enough steel to get it to fit. And not all goes according to plan...

Adam's previous Drill Press modification build: ua-cam.com/video/m-ayU2GCQ_Q/v-deo.html
You read my mind when loosening using your ratchet. I was wondering where the red went to. :) And you flipped it just like you said. Save that 2 seconds and spend 2 hours painting that one too. Who needs Mythbusters when I have this channel.
I understand you used tin solder with silver paste, but this is not very reliable I use special electrodes for cast iron😯
Someone pass along to Adam that on his old mill, he should always do spring cuts on any plunge cut that's deeper than 4 cm. It's very likely that he either has shot bearings (or better said, within the range of becoming shot) or a worn tube. Could be easily measured if it's dropped and scoped with a micrometer. Even 0.00 range is enough to cause flex or deflection.
Mcmaster sells a huge variety of hardened T nuts. I'm sure they'd have the correct size for your new table!
There is a product called a Sky Hook, Abom79 uses one in his machine shop for changing lathe chucks and moving heavy items. It could be a back saver
That moment when Adam is about to put the table on the press, and you see that you're only 6 mins into a 21 minute video
EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Yup. We knew it was going to go pear shaped 😂 So cool that Adam shares all his ups and downs. We all learn something every time.
That is exactly what I did when it didn't fit, che k to see how much time was left.
@@glockparaastra I've said this a lot! Most people would've edited all that out, but Adam leaves EVERYTHING in so we can avoid any mistakes he made. He also shows us how to get out of the mess and usually rescue the project!
Been there done that. My motto is for every hour of a project you think it will take, make sure you have 2 available.
Future one day build: Adam installs a ceiling rig shop crane. 😁
I really love your “moments of truth”!👍
Between this and the issues with the space suit glove rings I feel like I can keep making stuff! It's like watching Norm Abram do woodworking instead of a lot of youtubers - watching a master that wants you to learn vs watching folks show you how good they are at something. The former makes you want to try accomplishing something new, the latter makes you wanna quit since you can't do that yet. I wouldn't have known how to talk about it before, but that iterative process is glorious.
At 14:37 ... evidently this video is non-linear timescale from a few weeks back ... it seems the wrench is not painted and can still add seconds to each build of waisted time turning it around :) Thanks again, stay safe
Awesome Adam! Glad you got it all worked out. Nicely done!
Look like a shoe salesman at J.C. Penny’s when you we’re taking the old table off and putting the new one on!😎
Please do a show and tell on that wonderful mayer shop speaker you have!
I wish Adam would visit Guillermo del Toro's cave (it's a house) at some point I think they would have a good time and I would love to see that.
"I'm in the future." 🤣 Love it.
That's a production table off a Craftsman Commercial 15" drill press from the 1970's.
A micrometer and bore gages is what Adam needs, to measure diameters and bores.
It's funny to watch Norm's mask move on the time lapse, like gills on a fish.
Dun-nun....dun-nun...dunNunNun 😯 Shark shirt, he must mean business 😎
A 3/8"dia., 3" long carbide bit cutting plywood at 600 IPM can deflect 5 thou.
you showed me I can be myself in my geek tinker type videos too eh, thanks Adam
😷
12 thou and you have a metal lathe, no worries👍
drill press sorry
Order a set of id mics too. That way you can ck on the mill before you pull the part off and have to dile the part back in, becuse that can be a real pain in the ass.
15:20 So thats is where the idea for that came from haha, cool
You need a new drill press table clamp handle, you should machine a wheel or a t-handle. That weird 130°*angel looks uncomfortable to tighten and loosen.
Norm sure does have some nice boots!
What about the pooltable in the back... seemsthat it has ot been used for a while..
What do you listen to during time lapse...
I was convinced you were going to screw it up again and drill the hole too big second time around. Glad to be proven wrong.
Yep, steel is springy.
Adam, futurists are not allowed to complain about their age. :) What are you doing to help aging reversal technologies and medicine?
So the boring bar cut a taper due to tool pressure?
what was the song during the time laps segment when Adam was milling the plate the second time?
Adam....... Don't you own a CYLINDER HONING TOOL....????!!!! ;-)
Is he wearing your old safety shoes lol
Well, at least it was undersized and not over. 😉
Thank you for stopping and sharing your thoughts. It's the aspect missing from so many maker videos on UA-cam. Process and problem solving are great, but knowing that you're overcoming the same kinds of mental roadblocks we all experience is humanizing and comforting.
Thank you, we appreciate the comment; we'll pass it along to Adam. (Thank you, too, for being a member!)
Living in metric land I was confused by all this talk of thou until I googled what 12 thou was in mm. Damn that must have been frustrating to be out by that amount.
Just an idea if anyone from Tested sees this. Would it be possible to add metric subtitles for all the imperial measurements?
Metric subtitles: yes, please! o_o
Yes, It's such a small amount! (0,3mm) A third of a mm... Man! I can't imagine how much I would screw up doing something of this level of precision
I would love this and I don't even use metric!! If we in the US refuse to switch over, the least we can do for everyone else is be bilingual LOL!
Metric subtitles would definitely rock yes especially since there are fans all over the world watching this.
Or just use metric for everything and add imperial subtitles.
What's the ceiling like in there? Any room for a chain hoist for some of that heavy lifting? I use one in my shop and it's a life (back) saver.
Above the workshop is another floor of space. It's like a loft space, you need to go up by ladder but it's got rows and rows of shelves with weird stuff like space suits or bits of broken robots and half finished projects. I suspect it's barely able to support the weight that's up there already and couldn't handle anything more. IIRC he said the floor of the workshop is at an angle because it used to be for cutting meat or something, and the floor is actually suspended on a set of beams he built with his builder buddies. He specified the weight of the floor must be able to support the X-kg weight of the drill press and mill.
What he needs to do is get a different builder/lunatic that is good with welding and put in some proper RSJs so he can do a chain hoist. But first he'd need to remove a lot of his stuff temporarily and that could take months.
Adam’s cave is crammed into a tiny lot in San Francisco, and in one of the oldest neighborhoods. It looks bigger than it is. The floor of his attic / second floor is wooden, so I doubt there’s room for anything like a chain hoist.
It'd likely be good enough for a few hundred kgs. A 500kg chain hoist is tiny and makes picking up things like the drill press a breeze.
That's what the apprentice is for lol
@@martinperry1843 The loft only covers the first part of the workshop. The main part were Adam works has a high ceiling with a skylight. goo.gl/maps/XJXdtU5Wmb5wbhRW8
its very common for milling to cone, as it flexes the deeper you go, so the flex from your first pass carries over to your 2nd rotation aso. thats why we usually have a finishing pass in CNC with the exact same specs as the last pass.
Old hot rodders learned the hard way with a wedged piston and broken rod not to use a boring arm without multiple finishing passes.
I was wondering what the cause would have been, and this makes sense. I guess the motto should be “measure twice, cut once (or more if working with metal) then remeasure before installing”
Yeah I was going to assume that there's some kind of bit deflection at play especially considering how long it had to protrude.
I have a number of boring bars with HSS tips for deep holes where there night be deflection issues. Less tool pressure needed, so less potential deflection. Not the root cause here, but sometimes invaluable.
I've heard machinists call that last pass a "spring pass". It compensates for the springy bending of tool, material, and machine during heavier cuts.
Did you film this before the wrench video or are you not using the wrench that you painted for use on the mill?
Edit: You answered my question less than a minute after I asked it.
lol i was thinking the same thing as he took it off the clamps lol
Obviously yes, as he inserted a little mini video in the upper left corner showing him holding his newly painted wrench.
@@tay13666 Dud you read my comment? I noticed and asked it well before the editors added that clip into the video
5:47 But I thought the sign on the wall says "Dressing or Undressing Prohibited" Are you allowed to do that there? :)
There's a show and tell video with the whole story of where the sign came from on Tested somewhere
ua-cam.com/video/W38HXRhsLAo/v-deo.html
There ya go, the story.
The classic one day builds are back!!
3:40 - Thinks to self "he's only measuring one end of that hole".
i only watch machining videos (my wife wont let me start that) and i said that to myself.
Was taper caused by lack of spring passes?
Adams smiling and being so professional on camera but you can see in is eyes that he wants to throw a temper tantrum like a toddler but with o so many grownup words he can think of!
Words that should *never* be uttered,
"This aught to be easy."
(From someone who far too often has jinxed himself with their utterance.)
While watching I'm saying to myself, "put the old table back on above the new table to hold fixturing, drills, clamps, vises, etc..."
Adam- your humbleness and humility when you fudge measurements and something doesn’t go as planned is inspiring to us makers who chase that same feeling you get when a project is done. Thank you!
"After everything didn't go according to plan, everything went to plan." - Adam Savage 2021
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done
lol , the gambler was rolling about my head too
Hey, so the dealin's done and you're counting...but the hand hasn't been shown yet...Kenny, you're messing with my head man!
You own bore gauges!! Measure the whole bore man! (Done yelling at my screen. :) )
Or at least turn up an on size test plug and bore until its a good fit all the way down.
For the uninitiated, how does a bit gauge work exactly?
I love how he brazes shut all those holes in the center of the table, meanwhile where i work both drill presses have at least a 35mm hole drilled almost through the center of the table (which is neccesary if you dont want to drill into the table constantly, when fixturing stuff against the table, which we have to do quite a lot)
Next one day build, Adam Installs gantry lift in the shop to help him lift things
Adam, your wedding ring terrifies me when you’re doing machining and more mechanical work!!
as a “victim” of jewellery causing a totally avoidable injury myself please take it off & get a silicone one!
Your hands are your livelihood, your hobby, and help keep hundreds of thousands of people around the globe sane!
JTFC 100% this.
Just interested, how could the ring cause an injury?
@@a.s.j.g6229 Google degloving but for the love of god don't look at the images until you are ready.
Or just keep your hands out of the reach of your tools. Table saws are just as finger-hungry and just as easy to avoid feeding.
@@a.s.j.g6229 there’s numerous. Most commonly with a ring it will get caught up, the natural reaction is to pull away, thus the ring acts like a peeler, if you’re not too squeamish google it.
in my case I got a bracelet caught between the +ve battery terminal and the chassis of a car - electrocution, full depth burns, permanent nerve damage, scarring, partial loss of grip, ultimately led to a mental breakdown, completely avoidable if not wearing jewellery.
Has Bridgeport mill, uses hand grinder on surface of drill table.
Rigging that drill table onto his mill table "right side up" and getting it true would have taken quite a while and he still wouldn't have been able to do the whole surface. I'm kinda frustrated he used a grinder and not a large fine cut file the file laid flat on the table. It wouldn't cut or gouge the underlying cast iron while removing the braze metal; It would have taken a few minutes longer, and some finger pads might be bleeding at the end, but the result would have been better, IMHO.
Looked like the grinder was used to take down the high spots of braze and then a diamond stone was used to level
@@matthewhelton1725 he should have scraped like we all did as young men right lol no, for his purposes, it’s fine. If he wants a super flat surface that’s why he has a mill.
Ahh, I find it SUPER satisfying to hear exactly WHAT it was that caused the conical shape! That's what learning is - figuring out what went wrong! For all that it was frustrating, Adam and team, the end result is a well-told and very satisfying story!
Adam: watching this video bought the ghost of my old foreman back to me, "Tis easier to remove a little, than put a little back". This was usually followed by a clip round the head. The good old days. :o)
At least you earned your 'Measure twice cut once' badge today.
Also “measure once, curse twice”.
Ha! He was JUST talking about needing to sew the badges to his apron the other day.
@@tested you should do a 'Measure, measure, cut, measure cut again badge' 🙂
You're human Adam! I like the analogy and will keep that in mind every time I plan a new project! Humility is important!
When training, we were always taught to bring the table up to the tool as much as possible instead of using the quill. That might have also contributed as by using the quill, the moment on the end would be much higher meaning its more likely/easier for the tool to bend especially when machining harder materials
Thats what I was thinking, tool deflected once it was extended far enough
@@microbuilder exactly my thoughts. Surprising how much force can be applied, especially when extended.
I only ever use the quill for drilling through holes. When mission critical or larger cuts are being made, the stability/accuracy/control you get when raising the table instead is key
@@wiggle4545 Looks like that wasnt the only problem lol 20:10
@@microbuilder the tool rubbing most deffinetally did not help in that situation! 🤣 Would have surprised me if it wasn't noticed whilst cutting because there would have been some noise change and I would have suspected some witness marks on both the tool and workpiece with potentially the top radius being out of tolerance because of the rubbing
Would have made more sense to run a short tool out the side of the boring head perpendicular to the axis of rotation, then definitely use the knee to raise and lower it. Seems like a culmination of many issues in the set up that caused it. Maybe Abom79 should give Adam some machining lessons!
Measure once cut twice right?
Tools flex, always. Experience is a brutal teacher.
It was more than tool flex. He reveals at 20:08 that the shank of his (hacked about) boring tool was contacting the top of the bore when the cutting end was at the bottom of the bore, causing the cutting edge to push away.
If anyone suspects this might be going to happen, slap some sticky thickish fluid on the shank (I often use glazing paste) and if it come near to making contact it will transfer to the bore and reveal that you are about to have a problem.
Thanks for sharing it ALL Adam. We learn something every time!
Adam is 53 and in better shape than most teenagers. Super awesome to see because I need him around for another 53 years. Love you all Tested.
Similar age and I am not in good chape. I am one of the few Covid-19 got hard. Been hospitalised then when home to recover contracted pneumonia due to what covid did to my immune system. Hospitalised twice in a month sucks. Well back home again trying to heal my lungs.
@@michaelpettersson4919 I'm glad that you're at least recovered enough to be semi-functional again. I lost 2 of the 4 guys I work with in the last 2 weeks to it, so the company is now in a liquidation state so they can shut down in a couple of months. Consider yourself lucky that your eyes still open each morning and take care of yourself.
The old "4 o'clock track" After a great day four wheel driving, you look at the clock and it say 4pm so you think you've got time to drive one more track before going home. It turns into a disaster and you spend the next 8 hours winching & recovering and finally dont back home until after 2am whien it could have been 6pm.
Do you have a micrometer with one of those inside measurement devices? Digital Calipers seem like the wrong choice to my only-watch-machinists's eye. I am hearing Tom Lipton in my head right now.
He used telescoping gauges.
Sort of off topic, but where did you get the mask you’re wearing when Norm is in the shop?
Adam, you've made a couple of videos about the importance of safety and PPE, but outside of those videos you virtually NEVER wear these incredibly important pieces of safety gear.
We've watched you grind, sand, machine, turn, braise, and do all kinds of things that have the potential to throw pieces and particulates around.
PLEASE, Adam, please, wear your PPE. We want you around for a long, long time, able to create and produce interesting, entertaining content.
Telescoping bore gauge set would have let find out it was a cone while it was still on the table, plus calipers aren't great for measuring ID's. At least now you'll be checking for that!
5:44 , 16:11 Either he likes saying the word "shaft", or he does not know it is called a "column".
Edit: 20:26 Yep, he likes saying "shaft"
16:50 "Cross your circuits, Weebo." nice Robin Williams reference :heart:
where can i find a mask like yours Adam? it's awesome
Looks Like Adam is wearing a Graf Lantz mask.
@@mamastarfish thanks for the info
Keep a cylinder hone in your tool box. You can use a drill to widen that hole with it
Sisyphus... that's why. My father told me it take three attempts to assemble a machine.
DANG! It happens to all of us sooner or later. Thanks, Adam, for explaining what happened...so some of us will check tool clearance all the way down, and make it later than sooner!
Good on Ya'!
Whole time he was boring that the first time I kept screaming the bar is too long its going to flex inward at the bottom of the hole..... That was a good learning experience to check BOTH ENDS though, at least it didn't ruin the part.
Yes, tools flex...and long ones flex more than short ones. However, that tool was flexing from the cutting force the instant it contacted cast iron at the top of the hole. That force and flex stayed the same all the way down...it SHOULD have cut a hole with parallel sides unless the material got harder towards the bottom, or the carbide chipped out on the last pass.
I was a bit puzzled until Adam explained what had happened. He said that the top end of the tool, near where it comes out of the holder, rubbed against the top of the hole when the cutter was near the bottom on the last pass or two. The additional side force from rubbing flexed the tool more than just the cutting force. The hole actually DID HAVE parallel sides until he moved it outward for the last pass or two.
I was anxious as he put the table on without a second person holding it, and was glad to see a second person when he put the base on.
It is hard to win when there are five aces and you are the honest one !
In cases Like that , I like to make a dummy plug to check the fit while it is on the machine. Saves lots of agony is things aren’t all right.
That's what I thought he was doing on the lathe, but he was making that tightening piece instead.
Not a problem, an AFGO. And what is that, you ask? Another F***king Growth Opportunity.
Had a couple of those this week..
I cant count the number of times I have been where Adam is at "8:30"
I feel your pain with the boring bar saga. I had the same situation when boring out a cast iron piston bore on a vintage Briggs and Stratton. Wound up getting out my indexing head and had to order an extension collet in order to complete the task, as the hole I was boring was too small for the quill to pass into. Glad you got it all figured out Adam! Cheers! Zip~
really earning that measure once cut twice badge there Adam.
it was conical by a third of a millimetre... :(
Right On Adam! 👍 I totally know how those days go! Ya think it’s time to go home but!!! 🤯 All looked good at the end of the day!
I love Flubber!
I noticed a Weebo on a shelf last night while watching Mythbusters.
Mr. Tool Deflection has visited..
Adam, the foreshadowing is in the length of the video.😜😂
You don't dismantle it because you know you're just tempting fate.
And in this case Fate tempted back!
I would love to see Adam and Tori bring back Mythbusters.
This felt like the Iron man 1 MK2 suit when tony stark made the flight stabilizer.
Should've kept the OG table installed under as a tool rack support. :)
Taper cuts happen when you overextend something OR OR when your bearings are shot. Generally, with old equipment, you want to take a lot of spring cuts.
THE LAW! THE MURPHY LAW!
There’s another patch for you. Enjoying the final product before it’s done.

@3:30... what. is. Adam. doing. with. the. angle. grinder.... Small problems turn into big problems. Fix problems properly and verify. And Hindsight is... @20:20.
I wonder if it would have worked out to try to make an adjustable hand reamer? That seems like I would be perfect for this project, but odds are you would only need a 3" adjustable hand reamer once or twice in your life. It would still be a fun project to make one
I’d be Mr Adams shop assistant for free, for life, full time....just to learn....time to move to the U.S from U.K....MOVE TO SAN FRANCISCO, then show up....then ask...I’m sure everything will be fine and according to plan

Holy apprentice marks. I admit, I have dimpled a drill press and a mill vise in my time, but that table looks like somebody just didn't care at all.
Ya WOW!!! drill press I know. I just used my old 80's Tiawan brand to drive a wal-mart hyper tough Ti-Ni coated "3/8" bit custom sharpened with a dremmel under the magnifying lamp split point, to an almost gauge fit (endmill shank) tramming in all directions yup. EDM drilling and wire on my grizzly go516 the colum on that and a broken tap remover and now all tool's are through coolent Too much already well Moo,,ah,,ah ya cool all around video love that press dude use it show us
You really have a lot of magnets on the side of your drill press.
I'm sorry Adam, but as a former steel tube mill operator, you need to take measurements at the 12/6, 3/9, 10/4:30, and 2/7:30 o'clock positions. When steel is rolled into a tube, rarely is it perfectly circular. Further, boring out a hole the way you did, rarely works out the further in you go. I'm sorry this was a struggle, but on the plus side, it's a learning curve and now you know. Hell, it took me 4 months to make my first 3.001 x 3.002 x 3.000 x 2.999 tube when I was first starting out. Regardless, great job on the upgrade!
Hi Adam: I think you could use a triple chain block, on a I beam. This would allow you to hang, and manipulate heavy things up in the air, with your finger tips!!!
Place an I beam up on the ceiling, back shop, ends on the steel truss, and a steel post, at the back wall....
A steel plate at the bottom of the post...braced to hold it vertical; and pinned to the concrete....
call it earthquake reinforcement.
place THREE TROLLEYS, on it; and one chain block. Add the others as needed....
With three chain blocks, you could assemble, and disassemble really heavy things...
Like big, you step through the middle, electric motors!!
"It should be a pretty simple build..." - Next scene (in the past) Adam is wearing a different shirt. So much for "simple" and "One Day" XD
Love your work guys, please keep up the good work! Stay safe, stay healthy!
