I don't have a zero function on my calipers, or a dial.

Brilliant

Finding taper from shaft ????

I've been trying to tell you for years you dont explain enough what you're doing or why you're doing it you have to finish the video to realize what you're doing you are teaching people how to read a micrometer just say that in the beginning and be nice to your wife you won't have those bruises😂

Looks like you tried measuring that slot with your face 😅 But great video. Thanks. 🙂👍

Ya for some kind of heathen! Machinists/tool makers/mold and die makers use dial calipers, period. Digital calipers are for lazy brains

So simple and obvious, how did I not know this!?

Machining seems more dangerous than i thought 🤔

I didn't know. I work in the store display industry. Easy stuff, but machinist methods come in handy so often.

Dude stop drinking lol

I had to layout so many bolt circles when I was an apprentice. We didn’t have any cnc to do them on and a lot of the parts were too big to set up on a Bridgeport so we couldn’t use coordinates or a rotary table. I still remember the formula for figuring out the chord and setting trammels up for 29 holes on a 60” bolt circle. That’s been 25 years now.

Howee says… “you oughtta see the other guy” 🤕

What happened ?… you’ve injured yourself 😮

I love telling my students this, blows their minds lol

Looks like my C-clamp collection.😊

Rad! Thanks John!

Why did it take so long?

I always say as being an ironworker if you know how to heat metal and cool it down you can straighten anything you can make it actually very close to being an original if you squint it nice to see you put water on it right turn off people know what the word squinch means that's when you put water on it with like a rag to cool it down which hardens the surface

Great info!!! Thanks..

I can confirm that these mag drills are great for the money. They make a low profile version as well

And then belt sander comes along just look at the pyramids on the ass of a really cellulited planet.

Do u press it or tortch it straight. I've straightened a lot odd things over the years, even angle iron & rectangle tubing & other odd shaped things😊

What do you call that a boring head or a boring hole?

Great tip vevor master

Very nice .Explained very well simple and straight to the point.

Cool trick!

**slams a part with an odd number of bolt holes on the desk** what now, smart guy?! :P

maybe measure the 2nd hole diam too just to be sure they are the same.

Nice! That's pretty easy.

Handy trick

Howees thats how wees do it 😅 Amazing that such a thick steel can bend at all 👍

What a HANDSOME blue chow chow!!!! Our handsome "one eyed" blue devil" is named Midnight!

That works as long as both holes are the same size. God bless you all!

Outside to outside or inside to inside?

Numbers never lie

I’ve never been showed that one…. That’s a huge time saving tip!

Well hot damn that's going in the mental toolbox

Great tip

Why not go from outside to inside between the two holes. As long as the hole a circular

You remove the expansion device, heat it to relax it 600 F max, check it, and you should be able to run with with it. Old tool & die , mechanics tricks.

I screwed up a part before being distracted with filming.

Another Excellent idea, thank you very much. I had never thought of that. 👍👍

Put it in the freezer...lol..cold cuts...

Right on. 👍 thanks for that tip

Did not know that, great idea. Thanks. All these simple ideas is why I like your channel.

This works if the holes are directly opposite of each other

This works if the holes are directly opposite of each other

A few years back. I showed some guys that. And the reply was, "why not just hold the pointers in the center of the holes". They just need a tape measure, not calipers at that point😮

🤯

Question: Are there any electric magnets used in this line of work? I am curious if this would work 🤔
