13 Machine Shop Tips (Friday the 13th edition)

[@StefanGotteswinter]

Great coolection, especially the shimstock-deburring was new to me. Embarassingly, I was not subscribed to you. Fixed that - Thanks for sharing!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Wow, thanks Stefan. I learn so much from watching you. In fact, your picture may have appeared in my previous videos. 🙄

[@orangetruckman]

Practical tips are some of the most useful in my opinion.

[@brianmoore1164]

This tipsblitz is getting me a bunch of cool new channels to subscribe to.

[@davidcallista2580]

Thanks for a great collection of useful tips.

[@KennethKustren-lr6tg]

AWESOME TIP WITH THE BANDING/STRAPPING !! I've also ground them into scrapers,... shaped for mouldings, and carvings,.. in my previous career of Antique Furniture Refinishing and Reproduction.

[@ronorszulak6218]

Great job..... Lots to learn.

[@billdlv]

Good tips, especially the taper turning and "setting" the compound stop.👍

[@EmmaRitson]

glad someone suggested that annealing the copper makes a difference. your way cover looks great too, looks like you make smart kids too, def. a channel to follow!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thanks Emma for organizing the blitz!

[@johncheek9503]

I have enjoyed your tips. I think it will be something I will use. Thanks for sharing it with me. Till the next time. Thanks again.

[@clientcentredlearning]

Loving the idea of the cheat sheet, thanks for the other great tips too

[@rallymax2]

Fantastic tips. Just subscribed via your Facebook post. Deckel is looking great and will “borrow” your body work and painting tips for my rebuilds.

[@johnw.peterson4311]

The flash pictures are hilarious and the video very informative. Thank you sir!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thank you John!

[@karennoyce1015]

Recently stared watching your channel after seeing Clough42 at your shop using the surface grinder. Love your style and your content. I am in Melbourne Australia . Would love a copy of your cheat sheet if possble please. Keep up the great work

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thank you! Drop me an email and I can send it to you 👍🏼

[@frankish5314]

I love the parallel separators! Definitely stealing that idea!

[@jerekirkpatrick2092]

Thanks for sharing. Your tips were great and will be appreciated by many.

[@agary2000]

Love your videos......I learn a lot from them, especially the SFM chart...looking forward to that.

[@practicemakesbetter7132]

Many great tips, I also enjoyed your sense of humor thank you.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@bluehornet6752]

"I'm Asian, but I still don't like to do math..." LMAO!

[@bluehornet6752]

Nice tips, by the way. I've used the foam roller tip myself, and it works great. Sent you an email on the spreadsheet.

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

Some great tips! I use rubber for my apron shield simlar to your farm belt but thinner. Every lathe should have one! I wish I had known that 20 years ago. Your lathe is lovely and clean. It looks like a real beauty! Oh boy that mill will be a showpiece when you finish it. I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for being part of the #tipsblitz19!

[@danielstewart3507]

Cool video mate! Great tips. Looking forward to seeing how the mill rebuild turns out.

[@Evan-e-cent]

Good tips. I repainted my lathe with epoxy using a brush as the shapes are so complex.

[@rubarb0406]

Evan, I think you hit the nail on the head with the epoxy paint. It is tougher against impacts, more resistant to fluids used in conjunction with machine shop practices, and reasonably smooth for easier cleanup. When you say epoxy, however, most folks think of the hassle with a two-part mix and limited working time. Blige paint, made by TotalBilge, is a one-part epoxy paint. There are several KZbin presentations on the material. On larger flatish surfaces it applies well with Yucho's roller method. The paint is volatile, so use good ventilation or paint outside. It does not like to be applied in hot weather. In that situation, it requires thinning (Xylene), which makes it even more volatile. I should mention it comes in a very pleasing grey hue.

[@Evan-e-cent]

@@rubarb0406 Thanks for the feedback. I have been very happy with the results obtained with this one-pot epoxy paint. There has been very little loss due to chipping. It is shiny and easy to clean off. It went on easily with a brush. I should have used a filling primer or undercoat to fill old chip defects before the final coat, but it is good enough. The paint I used was Australian "Wattyl Australia Pty" brand Killrust Epoxy Gloss Enamel, Ultra Blue 500ml, Wattyl.com.au.

[@xrayjim5120]

Glad I found your channel through the #Tipsblitz19. Keep up the great work!

[@MikeBramm]

Great tips. Thanks Yuchol.

[@Changtent]

I've watched a few of your videos now, and thoroughly enjoying them. The 'Lathe Carriage Lock Upgrade' first caught my attention, and I subscribed.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thanks Jim, hope you stick around for awhile 👍🏼

[@terrycannon570]

Love it Yuchol. I especially like the idea of sheetmetal on the carriage. I have been using aluminum foil and just throwing it in the trash when I clean up the machine but this is very nice looking.

[@alexvonbosse5090]

Very good tips! Thank you for sharing and keep up your great work!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thank you Alex 🙏🏻

[@dlewis4647]

Very kind of you to offer the spreadsheet. Please and thank you!

[@robbourns2831]

great tips. enjoyed the video a lot. glad to see you work with metal too!

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Indirectly, thank you for the cheat sheet! My buddy Eldon got it from you and he passed it on to me. I'll be laminating a couple copies. And, your new(old) mill looks awesome, you had more patience than I did so the filler makes your mill look so much nicer than my shaper. I also wish I had heard the hardener catalyst trick, as the low-VOC paint took forever to dry and cure.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Small world! I’m sure you’ll have another restoration project soon, it’s in your blood! 😁

[@pgeorge175]

Great tips Yuchol. Thanks in advance for the cheat sheet.

[@Trident_Euclid]

That paint on the milling machine looks incredible. Really good job.

[@jasonh3109]

Great little video! Looking forward to more! I’m also excited to email you about the surface feet chart! Well done!

[@garyskowbo3564]

Great tips. Also I was wondering what make and model your lathe is? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Gary Skowbo it is Jet GH-1340W

[@TrevorDennis100]

A nice wee bunch of tips. I'm sure these were exactly the sort of thing Emma was thinking of. There will inevitably be some overlap with the tips, but even when that has happened there have been tiny variations in approaches, and it is all useful information. A nice spin off is that I was only subscribed to about half of the channels that contributed to Tip Blitz19, so I now have more engineering channels to follow. BTW my favourite tip from you is the magnet in the cutting oil container, and mostly because it is going to help to stop me knocking it over quite so often.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thanks for the note and I’m glad I could help at least in a small way. Cheers! 👍🏻

[@mikeallen260]

I like many of your tips and find them helpful. I especially like the SFM chart you made.

[@robinhoff4598]

New to the world of machining. Good tips. Looking forward to feed and speed chart.

[@Jack_C_]

Great stuff! Educational, practical and entertaining. Job well done.

[@michaelwalker1865]

Great tips for a new wannabe machinist. Just like and subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to getting your rpm sheet for the lathe and Mill. Thanks again for the great tips.

[@bcwrangler]

Like always...great video and a plus 13 tips of handy knowledge

[@JBFromOZ]

haha great video!!! thanks heaps for being involved in #tipsblitz19 mate

[@bkailua1224]

I can't imagine how long it takes to get your lathe spotless clean without any sign of chips anywhere. :) Great video.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Making videos “motivates” me to clean every time the camera is on 😁

[@nefariousyawn]

Somehow I missed this #tipsblitz video! I really like #8, using strapping as vise parallels.

[@dougguynn2622]

great tips,,,never to old to learn

[@samrodian919]

Loved the kids intro! Some very useful tips indeed. I would love a copy of your speeds cheat sheet for my new workshop and will email you now.

[@rogerpetrella5993]

Great bunch of tips.

[@j.patrickdonaghue199]

that was a great video I am relatively new to machining thanks for taking the time to make the video

[@striperman01]

Many helpful tips here! Thank you! Would love to get a copy of the Calculation sheet! Thanks!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thank you, check your email!

[@paschaldobbins8430]

Good stuff here. I cut up a soda bottle for jaw caps. Copper will work better.

[@hussainzaidi2306]

Great job man thanks for your tips and ideas

[@larryleek7141]

Thanks for the many helpful and useful tips.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thanks Larry

[@MarcStLouis-cr7yk]

Thank you! I’m a beginner & this was very helpful!

[@RockingJOffroad]

I use the tractor and implement paint from Tractor Supply, it is specifically formulated to be able to paint over dirt and grease and when you used the hardener it is very durable, I used Massey Ferguson Gray is looks good on my equipment.

[@44mod]

Great tips thank you. Would love to see more videos. Keep it up.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thank you

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Some good tips . That's a great chart . Cheers .

G'day from Down Under. Excellent, Excellent tips!

[@glennwright9747]

Good tips! That chart would be handy!

[@vitesseguy]

Great bunch of tips. I'm now a new subscriber. Thanks!

[@davidruss7702]

Really liked you video. Happy to click on the subscribe button. As a hopefully future recreational machinist in the pacific north west I would be very interested on advice on getting started up here in this region. It doesn’t seem to be the best place for finding used machines, maker groups, etcetera.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thanks for subscribing. Feel free to email me if you need help with anything

[@pgs8597]

G’day Yuchol a good set of tips, keep up the good work. Cheers Peter

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thank you Peter! 👍🏻

[@stevenhaynes1031]

Well done and Awesome Kids!

[@doylesummitt7997]

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@mainstreetmachineworks651]

Awesome tips! Love the idea of conveyor belting for dampening. Also, curious to know the color you used on the mill? Would love to use it on my lathe. Keep up the great, quality videos!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

It is the original South Bend color from YT channel called BasementShopGuy.

[@maciekm7953]

Great tips 👍Thank You for sharing.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thank you!

[@allengentz7572]

Thanks for the great video,very helpful

[@TonyUrryMakes]

Useful tips. I like the speed and feed chart. I look forward to getting it. BTW the enamel dryer additive is also referred to as Japan Drier. Lowe’s sells it

[@kevanshaw6778]

Thanks for the tips TIA for the cheat sheet I will email you now😀

[@jrkorman]

I've seen many different takes on cutting oil containers and don't think any of them used the magnet idea! I think you're only person so far that's mentioned annealing the copper first, great tip! Ok, let's see Liked, Commented, Subscribed, Yes that does it!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thanks Jim!

[@ronhubbard4663]

Love your videos.Good cinematography.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thanks Ron!

[@ptman3]

Great tips. Regarding lathe center height, one can make a simple fixture, placed on the compound, to quickly set proper tool height. Once the fixture is dialed in (using an adjustment screw for example), it's very easy to repeatable set a new tool to the proper height without any measurement or test cut trial and error. Works especially well with Aloris-style tool holders.

[@nathanek6598]

I really enjoy your teaching style. Keep up the good work!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Nathan Ek thanks Nathan

[@frankmora8336]

I like you tip on sheet metal to catch all the chips. Great Idea, my next project. Will be emailing you for a copy of the SFPM chart for lathe and mill. A new subscriber.

I really enjoyed this video as I am new to machining. I have to get a sticker board soon, dont have any yet... Still need a name for my small 10' X 12' shop. Thanks Ron

[@mariuszerlauskis8166]

I like that CheatSheet pretty much!

[@jonshank9572]

That speed and feed chart looks really useful!

[@n485mp]

Just subscribed. Thanks for the SFPM chart!

[@harlech2]

Love this... thanks for the tips!

[@tobarapprentice6618]

Just found your channel. Great tips! A copy of the speeds would be great. Cheers.

[@ron827]

VERY good tips. When using the compound for making fine adjustments to in-feed, set it at 30º to the work axis which will cut the movement in half. If you dial in 0.001", the tool moves only 0.0005"

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thanks Ron,

[@priority2]

Great tips! Subscribed👍😊

[@CruiserMac]

Great tips, glad I found your channel. Subscribed to you now !

[@michaelmaloney1027]

Great tips Yuchol. In later videos, you have a PM 949 Mill. Did you give up on the restoration of the older Enco used mill? I would love to have a copy of the speed and feed chart. Always learn something from your videos and I enjoy your presentation humour. Mike

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Hi Mike, the Enco is still here and I need to restart the project. Email me with your address and I will send you the chart 👍🏻

[@larrypalmer7136]

Jack Bonfoey thanks Jack, they have me wrapped around their fingers too 🙏🏼

[@michaelshea5427]

Holy cow! Great tips!

[@jeffn3503]

Thanks for your very practical videos. I am learning to machine parts from watching video contributors such as yourself. I have learned a great deal but have a long way to go before I would call myself a machinist. Please keep your videos coming and thanks again. I would also like a copy of your material speed chart if still available.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Yes, please email me and I will send it to you

[@bigmotter001]

Nice tips . Thanks and take care.

[@brucewilliams6292]

Nice set of tips! thank you for this.

[@geppettocollodi8945]

I have no use for a cutting speed table, but I made a table of all TRIG functions from 1 to 45 degrees. Laminated and very useful.

[@niklnikl1]

Great tips. I look forward to receiving the speed chart

[@jeremy7923]

Are you still sharing the chart? I'm a relatively new machinist and it would be super helpful!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Sure email me

[@davidrichards5594]

Nice shop, good tips, subscribed....Dave

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Thanks David

[@kurtgabriel4016]

I really enjoyed your tips video. I look forward to seeing others. I am an artist that happens to work as a prototype machinist and I also like to avoid having to use math anytime I can. You might consider doing a cheat sheet on the compound cross-slide travel ( tip #6 ) at various different major angles like 10,20,30,40 etc.(or maybe I will do one myself :)) Thanks for the inspiration!

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

Hi Kurt, that is a great suggestion👍🏻

[@larryshaw6517]

Never hurts to share experiences someone might just learn something, I like the copper pipe idea. Thanks

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]

I agree, thank you!

[@davidstrickler5821]

I do like your videos keep them coming.

[@woodscreekworkshop9939]
