For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. 16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

One thing to remember is that a bench top mill takes up almost the same floor space as a knee mill. So if you were to go with the bench top mill there is usually a non negotiable factor involved like getting it in a basement or other moving restrictions or rigid space restrictions. The heavier mills will always cut nicer and more quickly.

I have difficulty balancing, in my own head, the merits of some of these safety mechanisms with the danger of forming a dependency on them. If my shop had all self-ejecting chuck keys, would I depend on that mechanism and be less rigorous in training myself with the discipline to always remove a chuck key? Or am I just rationalizing an avoidance of self-ejecting keys because they are (marginally) annoying to use? I do think it's lost on some people (cf. M.W.) that these are important habits to form and even if a given machine cannot conceivably throw the chuck key or meaningfully crash itself with the key in place, that's not true on every machine, and the habits we form are with us for the future on all machines that we use. Hopefully this video helps to send that kind of message.

Thank you for the insights. I ask myself the same questions. For me, I have never had a problem remembering to respect tools like this because I have some kind of "permanent fear" for lack of a better description and I have just left that fear intact and have never forgotten a tool in a moving machine that I can think of. So this is not a problem for me as an individual but I have been training some people new to machining especially in the past few years and it is painful to watch them struggle with this even after multiple instructions. I have concluded that for some people, probably most people, that the safety mechanisms are the best option for them.

It is important to use flat tip setscrews to avoid any marring but even the marring is not a big deal. Remember that the setscrews are contacting the backplate in the same spot every time you adjust it so any marring is just re-engaged with as you "buck" it around.

Question... is vacuuming the hole out necessary when setting anchors in the ceiling?... like when setting racks/trapeze for conduit? Sometimes it can be challenging after hammer drilling to go ahead and set anchors. Wondering if this may be an overlooked step... also curious if dust/debree is a factor with drilling in the ceiling or does gravity solve that issue?
@TigermothRacingTV3 ай бұрын
When drilling overhead the dust mostly falls out on its own. One trick I like is to keep a can of air duster in your anchoring tool kit so you don't have to lug around an air hose if one is even available. Mainly, having the hole clean helps the anchor bite into the material directly and reduces slippage of the anchor when load is applied.
@johnpowers3653 ай бұрын
Copy that on the vacuum cleaner and the special considerations for machining cast iron. Again, I always have a vacuum cleaner present so I don't disperse chips and and using compressed air around an open tool receiver is bad news. Cleaning as you go saves so much time and not sealing with an accumulating mess. Always take a clean finger and check the receiver opening before inserting a tool. Nice upgrade and Im considering the modification to a chuck based on your work.
@TigermothRacingTV3 ай бұрын
Good points and I agree, always wipe the taper of your spindle before inserting a new tool, especially when cutting messy materials. It is an automatic habit for me on the TRAK mill. Most VMCs these days have positive pressure air purge on the taper for this very reason..keeps them clean.

@TigermothRacingTV3 ай бұрын
My mistake, you are correct, on cast iron I will sometimes use compressed air. Just enough to get the chips out of the cut so you are not re-cutting them, and if possible I will mount the vacuum head so it picks up the chips as they are made. You really do not want to breathe cast iron dust and you do not want to use coolant because it will make the cast iron dust/chips turn rock hard in your machine.

Great topic. In my experience it is not enough to emphasize mindfulness and safety awareness. Safety should be integrated into workflow. When I began my apprenticeship I was shown the lathes in the shop. "Every lathe has a holder for the chuck key." "There are only two places for a chuck key your hand and that holder." "Never start the lathe spindle without looking directly at the chuck key holder." No one in our shop ever threw a chuck key. This is just one example of safe workflow.

Self ejecting chuck key ;) . A good old fashioned spring lol. I also understand your approach. Some risk is necessary for building discipline, which is proportional to safety. I think there is another solution that I haven't seen yet. Imagine if the chuck key was necessary for the power to the motor. A key as a key, if you would. Seems simple enough, but I've never seen somebody do it. Maybe I should make one. Having the home where you put the chuck key within the eyesight of the motor on-switch can also help.
@TigermothRacingTV3 ай бұрын
I like that idea, that the key would have to be in its home in order for it to be possible to turn the machine on. Like a door switch. The problem I see is that for our lathes we have about a dozen different chucks and attachments for each machine and they take different keys and tools. You could be using one chuck and have the key for another chuck in the home switch and then you have the possibility of forgetting again.
