Nice recovery, and I really like the idea of repurposing the axle shafts and other parts. Great job.

skill is the great equalizer. you have arrived.

Your channel name is real, jeremy *infact* makes things.

thank you

If you restore this jeep to it's original configuration and color you will thank your self later. Also the jeep will be infinitely more valuable than some other nonsense.

I had the same problem with a tool sliding in a boring bar while single point threading some ACME nuts for a project. What I did to stop the problem was grind a small groove in the side of the cutting tool so the set screw had something to locate on and bind in. The tool never shifted for the remainder of the job once tightened in place. Another solution I have seen is to bore a small hole in the side of the boring bar the intersects the square hole and tap it for a second set screw. With two screws the tool is held more securely an is less likely to slip.

My Sheldon No. 0 horizontal mill has a B&S 9 spindle and the arbor was absolutely stuck when I got if after sitting for decades. Wedges from opposite sides did the trick easily. Hold a hammer on one side, strike the other and repeat a few times...like separating a drill chuck from an arbor.

Loctite that tastes bad? Must have been a generic threadlocker??? Last I knew, red has a sweet taste. But, I do not recommend it.

Your shaper as a backup machine saved you to fix lathe which in turn fixed your milling machind. Good collection, though i wouldnt have gone through the pains of making such a big fly cutter. At the edge of your machine's capabilities? Otherwise great repair job wish i had an inspection camera like that

I love what you’re doing. Making most of your own parts and learning from your mistakes. That’s how we get better. I was a machinist in the auto industry for 33 yrs and learned every day.

If a tapered fit device spins it can friction weld itself into the receptacle. I think yours might have have a small area welded in, basically you have to machine it out and re cut the female taper (as you did). My big old drill press has a morse taper that refuses to come out for the last few years... hopefully I can get it out without as much work (famous last words) 🤔

This is the side project video that finished up with a great flycutter and some other useful stuff. I bet that was satisfying when the last stuck bit came out of the quill , just the cylinder you managed to machine out was awesome. Whenever I have had to spend a lot on a single use tool, I always feel justified when it goes the way it should and even better when it finds other uses ...Ive had my share of wishing I hadn't bought the tool cause something else went wrong right afterwards ....or worse the tool broke.

A tight-fitting copper bar (tapered maybe) that sticks out 5-10 cm inserted into the collet, then submerging the lot in liquid nitrogen might have been an interesting experiment :)

Had a similar stuck shaft, only this was due to aluminum corroding inside chrome moly steel. Seat post on a bicycle. Tried freezing the aluminum with dry ice and even liquid nitrogen. Ended up dissolving it with sodium hydroxide.

Drilling through and using ice spray to shrink the holder could have worked.

Jeremy you call 2 1/2 years procrastination, I still ain’t put my 45 back together. Still some of the close up video you shot will be helpful when I do. You must be well satisfied with all that effort.

It must be great being able to use your mill to it's full capability finally.

Big win. Congrats.

Had to do it sooner or later. I was totally holding my breath as you were boring that out. Literally at the point where I was thinking "ok, time to stop and just buy a reamer", you stopped and bought a reamer. 🤣 I was actually expecting you to find significant damage to the surface inside. I was thinking there was a good chance that it had spun in the taper and friction welded itself in place. But it looks like it just had some corrosion. Thanks for showing not just what went right but what went wrong. That helps those of us watching avoid wasting our time on simple mistakes, so we can instead waste our time on new and innovative mistakes.

Very interesting. Nice work

First time viewer here. The second you chucked an old drive shaft into your lathe I became a subscriber. My kind of guy!

Man that was a lot of work..nicely done 👍👍 I think I heard the ghost sound of the model T when you were cutting the threads 😁

Nice job friend. You showed tenacity.

When my collet got stuck like that I used a large bearing puller with success.

You on a lathe im subscribing i dont care wate you do

thats a great one! thank u! 👍

Please make a full video on Electromagnetic chuck working and control repairing.

I don't know what im watching or what you're saying half the time when you're talking about machining.... but you make it entertaining and I am learning some things. Cheers.

Damn Jeremy, and here I was thinking earlier this week am I the only person in the world that struggles with "everything I own is worn out and has to be fixed to use it". Nice to see I have company! Did you ever determine exactly why the taper was stuck in there in the first place? Nevertheless nice job and now you have full capability restored to the Index. That's worth the time any day! cheers

I have seen bushings / bearing housings being removed by welding a few beads on the inside. When the filler metal cools the base metal shrinks. Neat trick. A possible solution after boring out the spindle.

You missed the opportunity to pretend the fly cutter got stuck in the spindle at the end of the video. Otherwise, quite interesting. Can't wait to see more of the Jeep project.

#2 Morris taper

really amazing...'twould be hard to make a profit though i bet.... I've never heard of them until this vid...have an early 90s pair of Rosignols, the straight style vs front flare, the exposed metal is rusty/pitted, need a wax bath to survive time.

I thought I procrastinated , 2 1/2 years? ? 👎👎 hack comes to mind or is this just a hobby? Still 2 1/2 years? I throw shit to the curb if I haven't used it in a year And I'm a machinist and a millwright!

would be cool to use food grade SS for the vessel

I'm assuming you tried a puematic hammer down the draw bar hole? At the same time another hitting it sideways?

I love the work, but the idea of this jeep getting made electric makes me all kinds of sad. Wish you would put an AMC 258 or 304 under the hood.

15:14 OW, I had this on almost full blast because my speakers just don't convey voices as loud as everything else for some reason, and that... like a flashbang for the ears

Omg i dont know where to go 9n th8s one

Dude, you never cease to amaze me!

Lots of work but a great result 😀

...I came to watch a mill get destroyed

I've been looking forward to this repair since you first introduced the milling machine with the stuck collet chuck. Thanks for sharing.

Well done! You handled Murpheys law splendidly!

Absolutely beautiful work!! You show such a variety of skills, your fun to watch.

Looks like breaking the lathe was the best thing for it, maybe I need to break mine 🤔 looks like the mill is now a whole lot more versatile as well. Doesn't turn out that well very often! Also I love your use of the rustiest piece of metal on the planet to make your drawbar.👍

OOO WEee I was looking forward to this vid ever since you mentioned the collet chuck was stuck you did a way nicer job removing a stuck taper than I did, I cocked up 1/3 of the circumference of the tapered bore but luckily only half way the length of it so it's still plenty precise

I have an INDEX model 45. Searching for info is how I found this channel. Subscribed immediately!

Not sure if anyone has seen them, there are a couple of other fly cutter builds on KZbin….. 😂 This is definitely one of the most entertaining! Thanks Jeremy

“That was tough”, but oh so worthwhile. Well done for a brilliant result. 👏👏👍😀
