Toolmakers Adjustable V Blocks P1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 кві 2020
- These cool little adjustable height precision v-blocks are an excellent toolroom training project. Made from tool steel they will test your skills in the machine shop doing mill, lathe and grinding work typical in precision toolrooms all over the world. I made my pair from A2 tool steel and heat treated them to 60RC. The knob ended up being brass and nuts are bronze combined with a stainless steel adjustment screw. I will make PDF's of the drawings available to folks that want to make their own. These blocks are used to support and adjust the height of shafting during various setups for cutting keyways and flats. A nice project you can have fun building and use on a regular basis.
I like the bit when you start cutting the metal v block on the band saw and wood shavings come out.
Thanks for the video, Tom. Something to keep in mind while working in the shop today is that on any typical day we would hate to need to make a trip to the emergency room, but now we really would hate to do so. So keep in mind in many parts of the country we are working without a safety net and need to be extra cautious.
Ironically, that Feynman quote in the end was my "excuse" to my wife when she asked why I bought your book last week. Best quarantine read yet. Thank you Tom, for the knowledge sharing and for the therapy in these tough days. :)
Oh thank god you posted something. I was about to head for the fridge
I've moved all my money into clothing stocks. People sitting around their house during the quarantine in their elastic waist bands are going to find out they are 10 pounds heavier when it's time to go back to the office!
benrivenbark im buying shares in weight watchers. Company profits will skyrocket after this.
It was a real pleasure to watch you draw that, at the start, Tom! Even at high speed. Thanks for that, hope the rest of the vid is as usual: excellent :-)
Don't usually have the time to watch many of your videos. For some reason I do at the moment! Enjoyed this one and looking forward to part 2
Excellent video Tom! For as many years that I have been watching you, I still pick up a tip or method on most of your videos. Looking forward to this build! Keep em coming!
Clicked "like" before you got done drawing, because you took a cool idea and started with a sketch.... been wondering for a long time about ball brgs that can be adjusted closer or farther apart, for a "vee block" since brgs are so precise
tom still the best bar non. thanks brother will build until we are dead.
I like how you approach a project design.
Tom, I just love the videos you put up and the projects you work on. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Great project, I always learn something from your videos. And the Feinman quote at the end is fantastic!
Im a new machinist and have a habit of wanting to make my own tools and your channel is awesome looking forward to part 2!
You make me want to get back into chip making Tom!! I wish I would have had a tool maker such as yourself to teach me! My father was an amazing tool maker, engineer, machinist and dad, but not the greatest teacher! Im learning to teach my son, with your cool demeanor, just hope I can be as good as you are Tom! Keep up the great vids, and thanks for sharing!
"Welcome to Ox Tools. I'm Tom." .... I was totally lost for the first 1:20 of this video. Thought I was watching This Old Tony by mistake!
It's never a mistake to watch Tony.
I've been a toollie for over thirty yrs and I have a luv for mechanicalz, I ca n see a use for an adjustable V block merely for inspection purposes but any securing forces of a workpiece onto these fancy blocks would demolish the adjusting nut threads , without a hard stop none the less nice paper weights
always happy to see chips fly on your channel. that tip on setting the z zero on the parallels was worth the price of admission. this looks like a great project. you are quite the freehand artist. looking forward to part two.
Glad to see you again, Tom. Always love to see a new video come out by you!
Much respect for the isometric free hand. Artist
Always enjoy your commentary, thanks very much.
I have my anti virus on just in case, plus I just washed my hands! Best to you Tom.
Thanks Tom, you've brightened my day considerably!
Nice quote at the end. Always entertaining, thanks.
So elegant!
I’m a young machinist and honestly if I had this, it would’ve come in handy today the v blocks I had were not big enough for what I was machining so I resorted to something else and it ended up not working and I had to re tram my head. :( Keep the videos up I’ve learned a lot from them and I’ve been watching them for two weeks straight
Projects are the best, Thank You! God Bless!
Think I just found my next project, thanks Tom, please stay safe
GREAT VIDEO !
Tom, that "bozo waiting to happen" at 23:00 is perfect for a training project! A lesson in keeping your eyes open while you are working. Also a chance to think/teach about order of operations, if the smaller vee were milled first, the part might have rested on the stock allowance left on the wider side... which could also have been intentionally left wider at the saw.
I've been needing to build a pair of these for years... task is consistent flutes in tapered shafts from the top down with a ball end mill. Looking forward to the whole
project! Many thanks Tom!
16:00 It's a miracle! The bandsaw turns steel into wood shavings.
Wowzers, I never thought I would catch one of your videos this early...
Love these project videos Tom. Great work as always!
Your videos make my day
I am speculating of course but there are so many things in this video that Toolmakers take for granted that are missed by the "average" guy. Your attention to detail shows your experience in mistakes and successes.
Hell yes Tom! I've been waiting for you to show off these beauties!
Excellent!. looking forward to the rest
Awesome project!!! :)
Great project idea Tom!!! Hopefully I will have my new to me surface grinder up and running this week ! I also did some trading and got an optical flat and a lapmaster light source. Fun toy to play with!!! Stay safe!
Known derisively as "Curtiss Wrong" in the aircraft business. Nice work, Tom.
A 2 my favorite material machines tuff and grinds nice very stable also air hardening is nice we wrapped ours in thick tinfoil bags if we used the furnace sometimes flame hardened small stuff and looks like our old Marvel vertical great versatile saw loved the hand wheel
Great video as usual, I seem to expect nothing else from you and neglect saying what a great job you do.
Great clip Tom - many thanks sir.
Tom's right, There is an unexplained "sociological phenomenon" that seems to bring out the "Mr Bozo" in us trying to do skilled work, and video at the same time! I really give credit to great creators like Tom, and others who can overcome this, and put out a super great video- great project!
agreed tried once forgot a bolt on a gear hobber for rotating the head and blew up a gear for the machine. smh
Wow milk is so versatile! Obviously keeping it in the fridge helps at the cooling.
Another tool I have to make!! Thanks Tom.
Awesome!!! Quarantine just got a whole lot better. 👍🏼👍🏼
I always put a block of exact size on the other end of the vice jaw so I'm not just pinching on the far end like that. If I don't have a block I just make up the size with my gauge blocks and clamp them in the vice.
Good stuff! I’ve learned a lot from ya. I’m new to this and really enjoy your channel. Thanks for the good content!
Wicked idea!
Nice work Tom, especially the sketching. Wish we had a surface grinder.
I’m enjoynig evry bit. Please stay safe.
A fun one, Tom. Take care everyone...
Thanks for the video Tom.
Excellent Video.... As Always
Awesome video! Great content and very entertaining
14:43 hahaha this is exactly why we do all those lines
When you time your pressure on the band saw to skip over the missing teeth.
I was thinking it was the spot where the blade was welded.
@@chrishenning8829 it looked to me like the part was diving into the gap of no teeth, not deflecting to the side from a weld bump... IDK... Just comparing notes.
Busted!
@@oxtoolco 😂😂😂😂can't get much by us
16:52 if anyone else is interested. It is also how you know someone has become 'one with their machine' after extended use. :)
cool as usual
Ok, that’s the first time I’ve seen a good reason to have a DRO on the Quill.
I’ve got a DRO on the knee, which is awesome, but I could never carefully touch off on a parallel like that. Thanks.
Ah, nice to have my OxTool habit satiated again.
I'm digging the drawings at the beginning of the last few vids. Would definitely appreciate a set of prints.
Happy you went to the dark side and got air compressor lol
Hey Tom
i like this kind of toolmakers vids,
keep on going
even from holland, many greetzz :
Gertjan
Love to make a set of these. Can not wait to get the PDF for them.
great job and info thanks for your time. keep up the good work.
Lots of lessons....thank you
Thanks Tom
Take your time there
Those grey buffing wheels are great, aren't they? I'm so glad I found out about them. Best way of getting rid of burrs.
That design would make for a nice rifle rest!
Nice use of TomCad.
“Cuz I’m old and blind…” LOL, yeah, been there, said that.
Well done sir . Not having the quality of equipment you own , l am modifying your idea to use on my cheap Harbor Freight mill . Two thumbs up .
Thanks for the video.. I wish I could draw.. very nice..
Nice project Tom. I love the idea of an adjustable V-block. I don't have heat treat or grinding facilities but I reckon a usable version (but not as durable) could be made just on the mill.
I like it , great video . Cheers .
My mentality regarding cutting with a bandsaw vs cutting by mill where applicable, is simple, a bandsaw blade is much cheaper to replace than a milling bit. But then again, this is a hobby+ type thing for me, so maybe if i were to live off machining, it would be much different based on job/time/money.
Hi Tom,
could you please do a video showing how you drew that v block, in real time, no need for narration, just to see the techniques you used to draw all the facets, without needing to use a computer to draw in 3D.
Thanks.
Firstly, I love your videos and I learn so much. What are your thoughts about the 1 man or garage shop and those of us that don't have a surface grinder. How necessary is it, how much can ground stock be used for for flatness (heat treated and then gently lapped) on faces of tools that need it. Would like to see you make a precision engineers level as a tuition video on the subject.
Ahah you said you’d make the pdf for folks. Okay. I’d buy it. Now where ? And thank you sir ! Beautiful video.
Hey Tom, when do we get to see the etching press in action? Loved that series... Especially the use of woodworking tools on steel 😜
That Shasta bottle though 😂
Mr Bozo cannot be checked sir! You taught us that...
Great content. Thx
Two thumbs up!!
Please send me the pdf file for this v-block set! This would be very useful! I really enjoy watching your videos!
"Welcome to ox tools, I'm Tom"..immediately swipes some dirt particle of the cutting mat.
I like it
Ya gotta love symmetry, so right.? 👍👍
Woa, that's definitely not a monkey drawing.
and uncle Tom using a fancy spray coolant now ;)
That tiny little endmill at the end for the relief would scare me. Looks like it would snap off if you looked at it finny.
My first class of the day back in high school was mechanical drawing. I can tell you Mr. Craig would have whacked your knuckles at least twice with a tri-scale the way you did that drawing. The first one would have been for NOT using a #1 pencil lead for drawing the beginning outline of your isometric view. The second whack would have been delivered for not FULLY erasing the non-visible lines after retracing your drawing with a #3 pencil lead. Funny the things you remember from some odd 47 years ago, when these days you can't remember what you had for breakfast. LOL.
I do so love the look of pencil CAD but I couldn't draw a straight line without a ruler to save my backside so my sketches always end up looking goofy as hell.
cool intro
Do an ebay search for "Slim Fit Collet DC06 Chuck 3/4"x6" extension adapter #DC06-CK346". That's where I got mine. They are tapered and come in various lengths and diameters.
Merlin Magnus - you can actually just eBay search DC06-CK346 and find it. Less typing. Thanks for the link.
Tom - Consider adding pockets on the t shirts / I need a place for my glasses
I can see a small vise project here, something to hold parts for working on the band saw :)
Going to watch your shop tour video today on break at work .I see it's 6 years old is there any major differences from then till now worthy of updated video?
Sweet!
Ding! "Is that yours or mine?"
