What a treasure we all have in Mr. Pete and that he is willing to share his life time experiences with us for our entertainment and benefit. That you, Sir. You are a joy and blessing!
Thank You Lyle...Insomniac, California viewer....Got up & there you were..mrpete222 you are just like the sun...We all can always depend on Lyle Peterson!!!!!....Thanks again....TM
I watch your videos often and over and over but this one on rack and pinion and the one on shaper how it operates and your model are my 2 favorites thanks and I will keep watching!
Mr Pete - I really don't care what anyone else thinks, but as someone trained in engineering and physics. MATH is the most basic subject ever. Please continue ,,,
I'm now retired but had many employees over the years. Very few of them had taken any more than the most basic required math in school. It showed, in their abilities. Math beyond "add'n & subtractun" helps develop problem solving skills beyond #s. I personally think Trig should be part of the basic classes required in school. It is so useful in many fields. While I was in the Navy I voluntarily tutored math to help guys get their GEDs. What I found was many of them had a built in resistance to learning math. For those that showed an interest I would go beyond the required level by teaching basic trig, analytical geometry and even a bit of the calculus. Tutoring during months at sea, while we wasted a lot of perfectly good bombs, provided a way of finding a bit of self worth.
Making chips is the easy part. It's like the tip of an iceberg. The math and setup are the hard part and takes the most time. That's what you excel at. That's the most important part. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
30,000 views and only 1600 likes. Come on people hit that thumbs 👍 up for the UA-cam shop teacher Mr. Pete. I have watched all of em and have learned more from him than anybody. Keep it up mr pete.
Thanks I wish I had you as an Instructor while I was in school , I would have enjoined the class even if we had no machines , to be taught in such an entertaining way , is truly a gift Thanks Mr Pete !
Thank you so much for the "hacksaw Melvin" story. I've been cooped up inside sick for weeks now and badly missing my shop. I've watched a few hundred of your videos recently. That story was the best laugh I have had in months, and was badly needed.
I am so glad that my little true story about hacksaw Melvin brought a smile to your face. I hope you feel better soon and get out into the shop. In the meantime, keep watching.
Love the side stories Tubalcain, "Old Hacksaw Melvin"😂 ofcourse the machining and tutorial on this series of cutting a rack and pinion has been very educational as well.
I believe your dad must have been a wise and skillful man. I cannot till you how much pride I feel when i surreptitiously overhear my son (now 30) telling his friends in the shop that he learned this or that from his dad. Good on ya Mr. Pete
Thank you Mr Pete. You presented a lot of information in this series that was new to me and out side of my comfort zone. I appreciate everything you have to share.
Aloha Mr. Pete, I am an old guy, but many years ago I was taught to put the blade in a hacksaw with the teeth pointing towards me and I did that for many years. I think looking back the logic of that was we didn't have high tension saw frames and many of the frames we had were pretty springy, therefore the pin on the handle end was solid and tension was kept on the blade. I still find myself doing this if I want to make an accurate cut or on small parts. I also remember a later period where there was a lot of debate as to which way the blade should go. IF it works "DON'T FIX IT" 😁
Aloha again, that is what I like about your channel, the diversity. Some things are new and some I just had forgot, but I guess that makes them new too. Mahalo Nui for your time in sharing with us, I know there is a lot of time and work we don"t see. Aloha ke Akua
Thanks Mr. Pete. I love it when you talk about the math behind the work, usually geometry, algebra and frequently trigonometry. Kind of puts the lie to the notion that "shop" isn't technical or precise and the shop students don't need to study math. Keep up the good work - you are keeping us all sane in these crazy times. And yes - I have spent 2 days cleaning up my shop. 😊
Lyle, this was a very interesting series, especially this video. I like your "short-cut" at determining how deep to mill the slot for the rack to get a proper mesh without too much "slop." I need to remember how you did that!
Lyle, I always love when you include stories, tidbits, and personal anecdotes in your videos. It makes your channel feel more like I’m in the shop with a friend rather than watching an instructional DVD from a corporate publisher. Would you ever consider a TIPS series on making a Kant twist clamp? I would pay to see that. Thanks for sharing.
Mr Pete you crack me up! I was laughing so hard hearing about Mr Melvin and so many other comical remarks. at a time when things are so dark and gloomy for us all I sure needed that laugh! I love ya brother! peace love and respect to you and yours stay safe my brother!
Those costly machines need a brain in order to get something done, this is where teachers work their buts off to educate young ones, older ones, even the Melvins of this world so something can be made from raw materials. I enjoyed your efforts... 😎👍
An "AGGiE" fidget mechanism 😁😁😁 I need to make one.... Totally bored to death, sheltered in place. I think I will make one Lyle. As always thanks for sharing and keep the videos coming. Ken
Thanks ol timer. I do so like seeing how you had to do things back when Quality was still top notch. Nowadays people are lazy with all the cnc. Life to the next Gen is all video games. I don't know how they will live once the light go out. And that day is coming. Once it comes at least I will still have a trade to offer. One of many skills and trades. Thanks to you friend I now have a ideal on rack and pinion. Now on to ball screws.
Having watched the series, and having plenty of time on my hands, I think I'll make a few mini arbor presses as "nutcrackers" for gifts at Christmas. Thanks for the idea...
Lyle, You got it! For you are amongst those; that bring "joy" to the world. Oh indeed you are. My sweetheart and I watch your videos and "jes luv it". Thank you so much to our "Mr Pete-NONE Finer". 🎶 *"For he's a jolly good fellow.....................Which no body can deny!"* 🎶 Only a fool would not echo the above. Praise Jesus for you kind sir!
Good morning Mr Pete and everyone else on the channel. Simple yet interesting! A great teaching tool both making and visual of turning circular motion into linear motion. Thank you Sir.
Many times back in the day, when I ran up against a difficult math problem to solve, I would take all the known information and accurately draw it 10 times size, and then just measure the unknown dimension. You can readily get to within a thousandth with this method. Seeing you on the shadowgraph reminded me of that trick.
Very nicely done! Good news is you can use that $10k in equipment to make other things too. Getting the rack depth correct is certainly one of the trickey bits. Probably why I often see these with eccentric bushings so the gear mesh can be adjusted after all there tends to be a fair bit of variance in mass produced items.
Lyle, I agree with the other enthusiastic and supportive comments. I would have set my milling working depth by touching off of the extended rack before milling. Your method eliminated multiple opportunities for error that my method would have introduced. Your method maintained the mill slot centerline and put the measuring and machining load pressure centered on the actual work location. This was more clever than my method. I appreciate the slot milling tip to maintain size and surface finish. I am inclined to mill on size and to take my luck. I find that conventional milling to open each side of the slot to size is better than climb milling. Set up weak points, machine backlash and gib adjustment issues and problems are greatly reduced by reducing the opportunity for the cutter to grab the workpiece damaging the part or the tool. If the setup or part moves, you just lost accuracy. I would have done my hole drilling in the mill, but I liked that you demonstrated the drill press method. I employ the demonstrated method in my woodworking all the time. Error is reduced and you eliminate measuring and layout steps. I was interested that you didn't true up your square or round stock and still got good results. Custom fitting to your finished parts and employing a bit more than recommended mating tooth depth was prudent. I would like to try eccentric pinion bushings to control pinion tooth mesh depth and reduce backlash... But this is likely over engineering. Commercial arbor presses use gibs screws and shims to compensate for machining inaccuracies and to allow easy field adjustment after wear or damage. Dake employs a spring loaded gib screw to provide tension to keep the arbor press ram from falling. I liked this idea well enough to modify my Famco incorporating that feature. I own a Dake model 0. I bought it because it was cute. I have only thought of two times to ever use it. It is so small. Your nut cracker comment just gave me a real use for it. I happened to have fully restored it the other day. So it is pretty enough for the wife to let me bring it upstairs during nut season!
Wait till you rebuild an automatic transmission and when finish you fine an "O" ring on your work bench. You asked yourself, was this the old one, or did I fail to put it in.
Our Apprentice is called Forrest. yesterday he jammed a chip bucket in the pallet changer on the Mori CNC, funny he used a Hack saw to cut it out LOL!!!
Thanks for video Mr Pete. I have a suggestion, Please consider building a complete press with this . It's gonna be good thinking and machining practice for everyone and also good machine to be with Bridgeport mill model.
Wonderful Video as always! I Love your teaching methods, and your humor lol I'd Love to see you make a small Arbor press. Maybe can be its own mini series. Take care and God bless You and Your Wife.
yep always grab the screws you want and 1 for the floor :) , great video series thanks for this, it should help me a lot when coming to that stage making a small GLRKennions bench pillar drill kit, one that cost me more than a small kryobi and needing £4000+ worth of equipment to make and a lot of hours to complete!
At Moline tool Co. we lapped the gears with the mating gears after heat treat to get the profile just right, to take the howl out of the gears at high speed
The steering wheel was great. There was alot of good info in this video, I can't even imagine how much time you spend. I was hoping that you would of showed a little detail on the bench mounted press that you made while working on this series. Hopefully you can show it onThis & That, I thought it was a interesting design. It might give some people a idea of a project.
Great series Mr. Pete, those pieces mate together nicely! It may be a do-nothing machine, but it's still more functional than congress. LOL, "Hacksaw Melvin", loved that story! If that was me I'd so use that moniker at every website I signed up with. Looking forward to the nut cracker series!
I think were the education department of the world went wrong was suspending classes in this type of subject, not only metalworking but many others like woodworking, engineering drawing, cooing, sewing, and even art, How many kids nowadays cannot even fry an egg or stitch a button back on not to mention read a plan or map? At school age when you learnt these things they stick. At school I learnt the basics of turning both wood and metal, That was when I was between 13 and 16, when I retired at 58 I bought a new cheap chinese lathe and remembered most of what I was taught and made a new pin for a QCTP that i bought with it. I was a bit scared not having the teacher standing there just in case but it fit and worked, I was so gratefull for what Mr Brown taught me. Later I got a mill and the same. Last year I took the toolpost bolt out and it was like a variably threaded bolt from start to finish, at the time of making it I'm sure it was smooth 😎 obviously not 😔 Things in schools have changed a lot since then and i'm not sure its for the better. PD I told you the series would be good, thanks
I liked this video and it was very interesting. I'd love to make a mechanical press some day. Just need to get the machinery. Good job though very thorough.
Hi ,Mr Pete , great video liked your method of machining clearance without a lot of calculations. Do you have a method for meshing a round rack as in a drill press mechanism? Really enjoy your videos , thankyou, Roy.
Mr Pete. Again today I was reminded why I hate my name. Not one positive thing in this world is associated with Melvin. Anyone even remotely famous changes their name to “Mel” or use their middle name or whatever. It’s been a running theme with people that know me well. The wife was very puzzled when I sat her down to watch that piece on Bubba and Melvin. By the time it was over she was crying with laughter same as I was. By now I take it like the Joke it was intended as. No worries. -- Thanks for the videos and the wife and I thank you for the laugh. :-) -- And BTW, I was not the one in shop class that was like that. I never liked hacksaws but I did tap the compound into the chuck once but -- hey, I was a teenager at the time. :-)
"$10,000 worth of gear" Worth noting that this is one of the key devices that can be made *without* anything threaded. Yes, it would be time consuming for Melvin to 'shape' the rack and the pinion with the hacksaw (or file), but conceptually you just need the profile and 'dividers' to get something very rough working. Of course, given Melvin's work habits, $10,000 might be short. few $$$ for just the saws/files. I am still curious if any of the early industrial lathes were 'rack and pinion' instead of leadscrew based.
What a treasure we all have in Mr. Pete and that he is willing to share his life time experiences with us for our entertainment and benefit. That you, Sir. You are a joy and blessing!
Thanks
It's always so much more work than the video shows. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I enjoyed it 👍
You got that right
I would like to see the time for setup/done on modern CNC.
Mr. Pete I live your sense of humor!
lol
Thank You Lyle...Insomniac, California viewer....Got up & there you were..mrpete222 you are just like the sun...We all can always depend on Lyle Peterson!!!!!....Thanks again....TM
tuffy marginez couldn’t sleep- got up early but still didn’t beat mr Pete.
👍👍👍
Well put I agree 100%. At least he has been for me for the past10 years
This series is a gem, and that hacksaw Melvin anecdote was hilarious, Thank you Mr Pete
Hacksaw Melvin was a legend
One of the best video series on youtube.
Thanks
Mr Pete your much to hard on yourself. We like your humor. The fans who matter always find you entertaining. Keep up the great lessons.

Mr Pete - I really don't care what anyone else thinks, but as someone trained in engineering and physics. MATH is the most basic subject ever. Please continue ,,,
Mr Pete, When you start t say, "When is this guy going to start making chips", I really do LOL - Thank you, sir.
I agree. I did teach vocational math my last few years before retiring
I'm now retired but had many employees over the years. Very few of them had taken any more than the most basic required math in school. It showed, in their abilities. Math beyond "add'n & subtractun" helps develop problem solving skills beyond #s. I personally think Trig should be part of the basic classes required in school. It is so useful in many fields.

awesome demo. awesome teacher. awesome person. the one constant in this topsy turvy world. a pete222 video. awesome as usual
Thank you very much
I learned so much form You mr. Pete. Thanks.
👍
It's like riding a bicycle..nicely done! Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)
Mr.Pete, thanks for sharing. You make it look easy. I’m still working on the float lock vise. I turned an Acme screw for the first time, for the vise.
👍👍
Thanks. Always learn something new in each video.
well, I enjoyed that series very much. I made a rack and pinion once. it worked quite nicely, but I know there was a fair bit of luck involved.
awesome job. Thank for sharing!
Wait till you rebuild an automatic transmission and when finish you fine an "O" ring on your work bench. You asked yourself, was this the old one, or did I fail to put it in.
This was done 50 years ago.

Another great video. I’m holding out for a video on making a sine bar. :)
Thanks for video Mr Pete.
I have a suggestion, Please consider building a complete press with this . It's gonna be good thinking and machining practice for everyone and also good machine to be with Bridgeport mill model.

Very neat project.
Great video. Thanks for sharing mrpete. Stay safe stay well. regards from the UK. PS we need more rants please. Any subject will do. :-)
lol
yep always grab the screws you want and 1 for the floor :) , great video series thanks for this, it should help me a lot when coming to that stage making a small GLRKennions bench pillar drill kit, one that cost me more than a small kryobi and needing £4000+ worth of equipment to make and a lot of hours to complete!
At Moline tool Co. we lapped the gears with the mating gears after heat treat to get the profile just right, to take the howl out of the gears at high speed

The steering wheel was great. There was alot of good info in this video, I can't even imagine how much time you spend.

Hopefully you can show it onThis & That, I thought it was a interesting design. It might give some people a idea of a project.
Great series Mr. Pete, those pieces mate together nicely! It may be a do-nothing machine, but it's still more functional than congress.
LOL, "Hacksaw Melvin", loved that story! If that was me I'd so use that moniker at every website I signed up with.
Looking forward to the nut cracker series!
Thanks
Thanks for another excellent video.
Love the stories . Great project.
Funny how we reach for those large number calipers these days! Thank You Mr. Pete.
Yes
I hope you continue on to make the arbor press. It would be a really enjoyable project to watch!
Yes, give me two weeks
Thanks Mr Pete.
Thank you.
Very enjoyable as always.
I would have appreciated some explanation of the mechanical advantage of the mechanism.
Another very interesting Video Thanks
Fun job, thanks
I think were the education department of the world went wrong was suspending classes in this type of subject, not only metalworking but many others like woodworking, engineering drawing, cooing, sewing, and even art, How many kids nowadays cannot even fry an egg or stitch a button back on not to mention read a plan or map? At school age when you learnt these things they stick.
At school I learnt the basics of turning both wood and metal, That was when I was between 13 and 16, when I retired at 58 I bought a new cheap chinese lathe and remembered most of what I was taught and made a new pin for a QCTP that i bought with it. I was a bit scared not having the teacher standing there just in case but it fit and worked, I was so gratefull for what Mr Brown taught me. Later I got a mill and the same. Last year I took the toolpost bolt out and it was like a variably threaded bolt from start to finish, at the time of making it I'm sure it was smooth 😎 obviously not 😔 Things in schools have changed a lot since then and i'm not sure its for the better.
PD I told you the series would be good, thanks
That is so true about schools
Enjoyed again ! Watched all four, and learn always. P.S. You know your going to be getting reams of black paper.
lol
Is it the camera angle, or is the last tooth on the rack of the arbor press at 5:28 cut to slim?
At 5:26, "It took a little jogging of my memory..." It came right back, didn't it.
Match drilling. The only way in the days before interchangeable parts to get precise hole alignment.
Yes
I would really like to see you build the Arbor Press.
Coming soon, to a theater near you

Yes, it would be time consuming for Melvin to 'shape' the rack and the pinion with the hacksaw (or file), but conceptually you just need the profile and 'dividers' to get something very rough working. Of course, given Melvin's work habits, $10,000 might be short. few $$$ for just the saws/files. I am still curious if any of the early industrial lathes were 'rack and pinion' instead of leadscrew based.
I guess I never gave that any thought, that there are no threads involved. Hacksaw Melvin could not do that even if you gave him 1000 years.
Amazing.
Thanks
Mr Pete, is a drill press quil made kind of the same way?
Yes it is in most cases.
They still sell sloted screws? I hate those , screwdriver always slips.Good video. Milton went on to develop the sawsall.
Nice !!!
"That was stupid"... made me laugh.
What is the title of the book with the projects in the back? Thank You
That was great! You mentioned packing, was that a piece of paper to hold the two pieces from moving in vice?
