A Grinding Wheel Guard For The Tool & Cutter Grinder .

[@dennythomas8887]

Congrats on 10K Max, well deserved milestone. The new shop is coming together nicely. I've been following the progress since you poured the slab.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks . That was one of several mega jobs i never want to do again ! 👍

[@russellhayward2359]

well deserved milestone max, one of the best machining channels on KZbin ❤

!0k this week, 20k next maybe? Congratulations. I haven't missed a single one yet, thoroughly enjoyed the journey and looking forward to many more.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks 👍

Always good to be in walking distance to your shop. Lots more seems to get done. Hope the wife likes the new house better than the old one

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Yes , good to have the shop just meters away ! 👍

[@joell439]

So happy for you Max. This has been a long time coming. So impressed with how much you can accomplish…… and always with a smile when your talking to us about it. 👍👍😎👍👍

Great job with the articulated arm on the grinder guard Max. I blew up a cup wheel at college back in the 1970's on a Wadkin t&c grinder. BANG. It was like a hand grenade. Everybody hit the floor, lol. You can never have too many guards. Good to hear your move has gone well. Cheers Max, thanks for the memories. Tony

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks Tony . I have not had one blow up yet , but am taking no chances . 👍

[@edkeniston4786]

It’s amazing how a shop will lay itself out, if you just listen to it. Everything looks great. Keep up the hard work.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks . 👍

[@Rustinox]

10K is a big thing. Well done Max. Up to one million now. Cutting that little gear could be a very nice shaper project :) And I totally agree that grinding wheels absolutely needs a guard.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

No gear cutting on a shaper for me , i will leave that for the pro's ! 👍

[@jasonhull5712]

Not sure if a congratulations is in order, or a apology for having to take on the monumental task of house swapping! I know that’s not easy. And you said it , the longer you lived there the larger the task of moving is. Wish you a quick recovery my friend. And look forward to all the new adventures.

Happy to be amongst the 10k and glad to see your plan is coming together. I apologized to my last house over and over as I was fixing it up for the new owners for never having the time to work on it. Trying to do better on the new house.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks . House maintenance seems never ending , not in my wheel house at all ! 👍

[@peterpocock9062]

Great milestone Max, well done. I use the setting lines on the 4 jaw chuck all the time for pretty close setups, naturally I then use the dti for any real accuracy. It was good you pointed out that those lines. I've not seen anyone do that on YT before!

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

No worries 👍

[@simpleman283]

👍 I was looking through some of my old notes the other day & noticed I wrote down the day I subbed to your channel. 7/14/2020. KZbin suggested I watch one of your R8 tooling videos. I started digging through your videos to binge watch the entire series. That is when I subbed. I'm really glad you have now put them in the playlist. I know your very busy, but when you get a chance, the (Ball Turner videos) need to go into the playlist. I would say congratulations on 10,000 subscribers, but you should have 10x that by now. You do some very fine work & have went to great lengths to help us understand. 👍👍8/26/2023

[@tomsing6384]

Max, at The Swan Valley Machine Shop “Congratulations” 10,000 human beings are subscribed to your Channel, I am sure it is just the beginning because you are doing good quality work as a machinist. And I like the new arrangement of the machines, it seem to be giving much more covenant room and as well the Horizontal Boring Mill now is at center stage, I even thought I heard the HBM look up from its critical care iron long and whisper “Thanks.” The new building is looking great, and with the move completed you all can start getting back to a new normal. Thank for all the time you spend making our day a little more enjoyable. PS I think a good way to end your videos is- “Thanks, for following along, till the next time”

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks . Thing will start to move along a bit quicker in a few weeks . 👍

[@petergoose8164]

Hi Max. Your channel is much appreciated. As others have said you seem under subscribed. I only have a lathe and a small cnc mill but I learn a lot from how you go about things.

Fantastic Max, things are coming along well. However things never seem to go fast enough. especially when you are by yourself and trying to earn living. Customer considerations, day to day things, auto repair the list goes on....

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

The list goes on alright ! Cheers 👍

[@tonyray91]

Well done Max, it’s great that you can find time to do any videos given all that you have going on. I have a T&C grinder that can run in either direction , I have not had an issue with the wheel coming loose in reverse and I find this feature very useful, might be worth you looking at when you get the 3ph motor back on yours.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks . With a screwed retainer , i wont run this one in rev . Would be good to convert it to tapered hubs , then it could run safely in rev . 👍

Congratulations on the 10K subscribers! The shop is coming along very nicely. The only thing that seems to me to be a potential problem is, the shop is getting smaller. Isn't there some law that says no matter how big your shop is, It won't be long before you need a bigger one. Keep the videos coming. I always look forward to what is happening in "Swan Valley". KOKO!

[@willemvantsant5105]

Hi Max, unique gear profile on that pinion. Waiting with interest on the gear cutting operation. My lathe graduations on the carriage handle are only true to 12.5 mm, going further missing 2 graduations. You cannot count the turns for large distance, will result in a ratio error. DRO now solves the problem.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Just a wee bit of wear ! DRO's are a bit further down the track at the moment . 👍

[@garychaplin9861]

Congratulations Max, you deserve it. Your guard worries me, I have had a wheel slightly smaller than yours explode, it was covered by a 10 mm thick cast in close fitting guard which shattered. I surmise that a piece of the wheel wedged itself between the wheel and the guard and broke the guard. Pieces pf the wheel broke the frame of my safety glasses and I ended with a face full of shrapnel and pieces of wheel in the left eye and grit in the right eye. Not a happy experience. I was alone at the time and had to shut everything down and self administer first aid by feel. The important lessons from the experience are 1. The kinetic energy of an exploding wheel can smash a 10 mm thick cast iron guard and still have enough left over to ruin your day. 2. Even with a guard in place and appropriate PPE NEVER stand in the firing line of a grinding wheel. I would make the guard from a thicker piece of steel or add a re enforcing strip around the outer edge or both.

Thanks . I am confidant it will be ok . They are more lethal than most realise . 👍

At a loss to see how that is the original shaft for the machine. Having to go so far off course for that particular gear is mystifying. Sure hope you're able to cobble together a working shaft. Congratulations on getting moved to your new house.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks . It would be the original shaft . My guess is , they modify the gear for production as it would be quicker & easier to produce than a standard form with the required undercut . 👍

[@ianmoone2359]

10,000 subs! 👍 Well deserved Max, congratulations. With that JFMT lathe pinion gear, for the undercut at the bottom of the groove, could you not maybe drill the bottoms out on a bolt circle on the dividing head mounted vertically with a chuck - before you then cut the teeth with the cutter? That might maybe save all the tarradiddle offsetting the cutter to achieve the undercut afterwards? Just a suggestion, as you well know, I don’t know my @rse from my elbow when it comes to this kinda machining mullarky, but that was the random thought going through my head while you were explaining it.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

Thanks Ian . It has to be made the same profile as the original one . 👍

[@melgross]

Congratulations on your move. We’re in the same house for 38 years now. I’d love to get a bigger one with more room for my shops and my audio/video equipment. The horrors of moving is a deterrent. I have to say that just maybe you overthought that guard. You’ve given it enough range of movement to turn it into a robotic arm. I have a question for you. Over the decades I’ve always bought well known named tool holders for my lathes but I’ve been wondering if those cheap ones you see in Amazon or eBay are decent enough to bother with. I hate to say it but when a tool holder is the same price as a good insert, it’s a temptation.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

I have some cheap tool holders , they work fine . The real ones , you can get spare parts for . But saying that , things become obsolete quickly these days ! The guard , i want to have lots of different position options for different wheels & jobs . Cheers 👍

[@melgross]

@@swanvalleymachineshop it’s hard to get parts for known ones. I’ve got a Kennametal that I can’t get the right size screw for unless I buy 10 from MSC for $100 US.

Hi Max, What a ball ache that rack and pinion is. Are all rack and pinion set ups like this?. If I was the OEM I would have made it as simple as possible using standard DP or module cutters. Great news on the subs, and glad to see the shop getting there. Best wishes, Mal.
