Great video . If you want please answer if not all is good ! What is a rough price you would get for this part ? Again just want to understand the level of price not the actual price .thanks

Man what do you do with the press, apart from pushing bearings in, nobody talks about its use cases in detail haha :D I want one because I want to build a sheet metal bender with some finger press attachments but most people I see online having these presses dont have it, what do you guys do with it, making me go crazy not to know hahaha :D

nice item and job, I think I would remove the spacer as it was only there to take up space on the thread, and that would reduce the height again. again nice job.

Hi I'm here from your comment on DaVinci Resolve vs Final Cut Pro. It was 1.5 year ago, and I wonder which editing tool you use nowadays?

The amount of material you wasted is very quickly questionable but nice job

These methods may help you with other projects. Mill the angle singly in the main vise, there was no real need for the small vise to be used as well. If you wanted to machine 2 at a time then they could have been clamped in the main vise with their sides touching and clamped with the vise jaws over both. Using the small vise, it may have been easier to have it much flatter and cut the angles with the side of the cutter. You did not show any tempering, I may have missed that but without it, the clamps will be too brittle to use. Your aim was for a greater degree of toughness and durability rather than pure hardness. It may have been easier to offset the hole in the rings instead of turning the heads of the bolts eccentric. The screws have a nice straight knurl on the head to give a good fit in the hole without slipping. The drive hexagon would not be offset and stronger, plus a larger offset could be used if required. When using the tapered bases, the clamping face of the square part should be vertical to the base of the bed, you will get more contact area with the part instead of digging a line into it. You may be able to salvage the square blocks if you grind the mating angle on the base. The threads will align with both parts and the clamping face will be vertical. Using the fixture plate, the clamps should be directly opposite the fixed datum stop. As you show it, the clamps push against nothing. When using them it is an idea to make sure there is about a pitch of thread under the cam. This will prevent the cam locking down before it has clamped the part.

Those little comparator vises are not square.

One of my favourite channels!

Use a piece if ali tig wire to clamp unequal objects.. Also, you could (in theory!) use that sloped feature if you turned the base part upside down.. yes, youd habe to get creative when bolting that part down, but less hassle than remaking that portion if the project....

Coolant must be really scarce and spendy in that part of the world !! ... 🙄😂

Where can i buy from you?? DO you have web?? Thanks

I bought a hydrolic surface grinder. The cylinder was bent. I repaired it and cant wait to use it. Manual Surface grinding is great. For the first 4 hours.

For future reference, the stop on the vise is usually set on the left-hand side. Most prints are dimensioned from the left on the X and from the rear on the Y, as these are where machinists traditionally set their datums. I understand that it makes no difference for this project, but you had a choice, and I would get into the habit of referencing on the left as a preference when you have a choice.

That's nice work. Love the kiln. Although I suspected MITEE would end up looking less expensive by the time it was over.

exchanging it for an allen key does give you a cheap way of never losing the wrench...all you need is a ten pack of allen keys then drill a hole in something near the lathe and drop the allen key into it...never lgets lost and you can do that for 10 more allen bolts instead of having 10 wrenches or wandering arounn wondering where you left the wrench this time....sometimes adjustable wrenches are as hard to find as 10mm ring spanners. Thanks for sharing

Yeah...super dangerous. Those haven't been approved since the 80s shop class

Either make them over or contact Joe Pieczynski and purchase a set of hold downs that he sells on his website. As I've seen others suggest, MAKE THEM OVER! MAKE THEM OVER!

Quality video mate.

Where do you get one of those beautiful amazing wives? I thought that was only a fairytale.

Manual grinding sucks the life out of a fella. Props for some good looking part mate.

I was thinking you were going to make a mechanism similiar to a bicycle seat post clamp with a built in small thumb wheel maybe, instead of trading a wrench for an allen key. Now I’m in my head thinking about how to design one for my lathe!

Awesome tools great

as always, i am enjoying your work, thanks again! 😀👍

I screamed at the screen as loud as I could when I saw you drilling and tapping perpendicular to the bottom of the part but you just wouldn't listen, lol. If you put a piece of copper wire between the floating vise jaw and the parts you would have got away with doing two pieces at once. The copper wire conforms to the parts and distributes the clamping force. A piece of ground wire from some 3 strand house wire works fine. Some people do this when squaring up stock if the surface facing the floating jaw has not been machined yet to insure even clamping. All in all another great video!! EDIT: Guess I should have read the comment below before giving you the wire tip, lol.

Years ago I made a larger set of cam-lock clamps for the milling machine with 1/2" socket head capscrew eccentrics and cold-rolled C1045 rounds for jaws. They are most useful for holding work directly on the mill table in the fashion of a conventional two-piece vise. They can be used with either odd-shaped material or already squared up stock, with or without spacers underneath. The screws just engage nuts in the T-slots. I didn't harden the parts of the clamps. Which reminds me - thanks for showing your Hot Shot oven. Want to know what Santa brought me? Well, it wasn't one of those. . .

lol. Clicked on the vid title to see what’s going on. Text is translated to German and it makes no sense 😅

couda use that sine plate to make that there angle.. surface finish was incredible

This way of filming should be combined with that annoying modern music

Nice job. Thx for the vid.

Clamp a piece of aluminum tig wire between vise and part. It will smash when clamped and take up the thickness difference. Can do several at a time that way

Perfect timing, I just finished a rotary table fixture plate but have no hardware to clamp stuff to the table besides some screws.

Can you make some new movable pieces with an angle to match the angle on the toe clamp bottoms? And yes grinding is a chore but the results look 👌

You know I think I just saw the answer to clamping both parts in the vise at the same time on Blondihacks. She used a piece of paper on one part. That way the moveable jaw twists a little and holds both parts tight. I haven’t tried this yet but if it works it would be a great tip to use.

Post the full grinding video so people can watch it to fall asleep lol

I had the same feeling when you clamped them in the vice 😁

nice work sir!

Make 'em over, make 'em over! We love watching the work!

Thanks for a great video on a great project. Even adam and this old tony makes mistakes it is all part of being human

What a rollercoaster of a project.

Awesome! I used to calibrate sine plates (tables, bars, etc), and use them in other calibrations, in the Marines and for Lockheed. This brings back great memories from years ago!

Nice work mate.

very helpful got a 28v cheers

Made one of these on my Mazak today. Pretty cool

I need help getting the drawings for the burnishing tool. Sorry first time.

Thanks!

You are the machinist I always dreamed of……😎✌🏻

Useful info thank you!
