I'm embarrassed to say that when I made a focusing mechanism for my astronomical telescope a few years ago - which required a rack similar to this - I used a hacksaw and a triangular file. 😳 (Sorry, Chris!) It worked adequately, but I'm glad that it was only used in pitch darkness when nobody could see it. 🤭
I feel like this is a place where a shaper would just better suited to the task. Fixturing would be easier between two collet blocks, or a rotary index. And would make it easier to make a slant on the rack for when that’s needed. I actually think this machining setup is a bit challenging on a conventional lathe or mill.
There is a reason Clickspring is legendary, it's because he's a legend!
Don’t know what it is, but it’s the best one I’ve ever seen.
you're making a surface dial gauge. Your attention to detail is astounding as always.
Always a good day when Chris uploads
Impressive perfection! Beautiful final result.
What can I say? A true master at his craft! (Machine work and videography)
That is really interesting how you made the fixture to hold the work. Thanks for sharing this,
I have every one of the tools required to do this, except the 2 you can't buy. Skills and patience.
Your videos are on another level. Like Stratosphere!
Superb standard of craftsmanship,as always👌
The lines between Art and Machining are not easily defined, Chris 🙂
You keep amazing us with your skills

A fitter would be proud of you😅
My work looks best in the dark.
I’ll bet you can hear it! Lol
Hey, if it works, it works xD
the match stick dropped next to it, OOOHKAY that is SMALL!!
I could watch these clips all day long..! Amazing work.
Nice work as always. 👍
Beautiful job 👌
Yowza, that's damn impressive.
The size comparison always makes me do a double take.
I don't know why I'm always surprised when it turns out the part is super tiny.
think about making a
Philipp Matthau's Hahn calculator,
How did you increment the cuts down? Manually based on the pitch dimensions or do you have a stepper motor?
Beautiful work thanks
great work
Very nice to see this, thanks!
Oh so precise! 👌
Can we assume you also made the hemispherical-head end screws?
Let's see that video!!!
Thanks
The last time I saw such small sharp teeth was on a kitten 😅

I'm not saying the video is hypnotic, but if Chris had whispered "cluck like a chicken" at any point, I would have clucked like a chicken!
Is the blue sticky-tack the same Rodico stuff we use in watchmaking, or something probably vastly less expensive?
Nice job!
👍👌👏 again and as always! Almost unreal precise teeth.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
I can entirely picture him making a tiny rocket for NASA, that actually flies to the moon.
At this point the guy is just taking the p*ss :) Awesome work as always
Please show how your tool was made… I assume edm and a stone?
2:57 satisfying plopp
That is one clean rack!
2:55 - plop
I’d frame that and hang it on my wall…where everyone could see it!
👌👌👌
Sieg Sx3?
1:59 So pretty :)
⭐🙂👍
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
👍👍👍👍👍
kinda distributing to watch him use modern equipment and materials, but nice.
yay First!
