    Maybe not the focus of your channel, but I would be really interested in an episode about making drawings by hand. As someone who was only thought to go from 3D to 2D, I find it hard to wrap my head around designing things in 2D. Paper being even more unforgiving.

    I would consider this my dream shop; everything I could imagine ever needing. Few newbies realize that once you have the machines, you need the collets, mills, indicators, parallels, rotary tables, etc. which will probably equal or even exceed what you paid for the thing that makes the noise. You've got a wonderful thing here, sir; you've chosen a superior grandfather!

    future tip, don't use a drill chuck to do any side-load operations like milling. they're fine for plunge cutting, counterbores and drilling but that's it. could destroy your drill chuck and make a nasty mess. keep all the load up into the drill chuck.

    I looked for it in the comments but didn't see it, so here's my bit.
    When side milling on a Bridgeport style mill, make sure that your cuts are conventional. That is, teeth turning into the direction of travel.
    Climb milling will pull the tool forward and into the work because torque is being applied into the direction the backlash.
    That said, you've got some serious skills my man. I found this channel yesterday and I'm almost halfway through your video back log so far. Keep up with the high quality videos. This is excellent work 👏🏻

    Love the extra work you put into making the parts as pretty, precise and well-fitting as possible. Some people might see it as overkill when it comes to surface grinding the parts, even the "less critical" ones like the fine adjust lever and also some of the chamfers you put on the parts that aren't "necessary" but both of these things combined will yield a nicely "finished" looking part with lots of accuracy and tight tolerances in the parts. Obviously this all translates to a more precise and higher quality part that will remain that way for longer and also looks very professional.
    Love the channel by the way. Asides from the extra effort you put in all your projects, the cinematography is really well done also.

    Fantastic work! I also love the LOTO card with the photo! It's a brilliant trick to convey the solemnity of why the card is attached to something. Wasn't a true believer until I almost lost some fingers to a small bandsaw. The saw wasn't even large enough to hide behind, or so I thought, and was crouched behind it reading info off of the motor's nameplate when a coworker turned the saw on. Scared the hell out of both of us.

      Wow! That could have been bad. I've had a few close calls with machines myself. Fortunately most modern industrial works have standardized on physical LOTO locks.

    Rule #1 is that it should WORK PROPERLY.
    Rule #2 can be "make it look elegant, as well". 😛
    I know, you probably assumed #1, but that's not a good idea. Too many idiots -- architects, cad/cam people, etc., think "lookin' GOOD!" is the be-all-end-all of design. "Screw functionality".🙃🙃🙃🙃
    God I envy you for having the training and access to this stuff. I'd love to be as good with metal as I know I could be... Knowledge work and computer work are the height of "human skill", but working in metal... it's kind of like doing architectural stuff and woodworking -- there's a really significant FEELING to creating physical objects YOU devised or made. And fine machine work is the ultimate in industrial level skills.

    As to your fancy tool marks... It may be worthwhile to check out making a "Barleycorn" pattern. This is a series of intersecting circular grooves possible around a diameter or in a linear pattern. To the best of my knowledge, this an ornamental woodturning process. Done well it's amazing. Love your stuff.

      Agreed... Also if you are trying to give away a surface gage, I am on the student Baja SAE team at NCSU (we work in the same shop and share tools with the Formula SAE team too, both of which are university clubs that build performance cars to compete against other universities) and we do a ton of machining for our car and could really use a surface gage if you want to donate one (our team, as all baja sae teams, are not for profit and rely on donations). Also I know this is a wild request and super random but figured I would give it a shot lol

    • @InheritanceMachining

      If there is any cause worth donating to in engineering it’s Formula SAE and Baja. In many schools it’s the only hands on experience they can offer. I’m an FSAE alum myself

    I was watching a Gentleman that was fastidious about his grinding, really fastidious, he advised using a piece of wet paper (newspaper or paper towel depending on the piece you are working on) under the piece as it will create a more level surface to do the initial grind. It seemed like a really clever idea and maybe useful for yourself in the future. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
    Apologies I cannot remember the Gentleman's name, I watch too many engineering/machinist videos.

      Thank you for you service, Paul. Yup I'm an ME. Machining may be a good for you for that same reason. Very therapeutic both mentally and physically, though at times there is need to move heavy stuff like chucks and whatnot. But a lot of the bench top style machines are manageable.

    @dwilley3754 2 роки тому

    Great video. Some pointers for you. You should never run an endmill in a drill chuck. Unless you are plunging straight down. The chuck can come off the arbor and will make for a very bad day. Also, the roughing endmills looked like you were turning them to fast that’s why they died early. Instead of taking small depth of cut take full depth with light radial cut. This will let you use all the flutes you paid for. If you dull the end of the tool the endmill is trash and you never got to use the top of the cutting flutes. Keep up the good work. The videos are great. I would love to do what you are doing and pass knowledge to the next generation of machinists.
