A simple technique for making hexagonal with a lathe

[@ctrlz4439]

Intersting technique. I would be scrared of that hexagonal bar.

[@cdrive5757]

One would have to assume that if you're watching machining videos this subject interest you. At the time of posting my comment there are a mere 14 comments, yet there are 6,900 views! Does that mean that there are 6,886 aspiring machinists that find this hack commonplace? When the Lathe (only) is your focus this hack is brilliant! At the very least it's definitely not commonplace! This certainly deserves far more that the 294 current likes! The term "Hack" carries negative connotations but I'm adding my LIKE because this method deserves a hell of a lot more!

Thanks brother ♥️🙏

So this is how my out of square (or hex?) Aliexpress hexagon ER32 collet chuck was made. This explains so much! Finally I understand how they managed to screw it up so incredibly bad.

[@edwardhugus2772]

Must have used the wrong plastic "machinist" triangle...I actually moved my head when he started that lathe with that dodgy "precision" setup jig.

[@Tom-xn7zc]

​@@edwardhugus2772 Haha I was hiding underneath my desk within half a second when he first started that setup.The precision machinist triangle he uses is not even the worst issue.. those thing can be pretty close to accurate from time to time.

[@edwardhugus2772]

@@Tom-xn7zc And I cant figure why he faced everything from center to edge...sure, it works, but I wasn't taught that maneuver.... and his finish was horrendous. I'll bet his prints for the part were drafted in crayon.

[@Tom-xn7zc]

​@@edwardhugus2772 He tried working from center but his guesstimates were pretty far from center. At least halfway through he started using a backstop in order to stay on dimension so perhaps his next piece will be more accurate. The crayon drawings part of your comment had me laughing out loud, thank you for brightening up my day.

Корявенько конечно вышло ,но предпосыл понятен будет многим ))) думаю в видео автор не придерживался линейных параметров, а просто на скорую руку показал краткий смысл изготовления шестигранника на токарном ..., молодец, учишь начинающих , хотя в этой процедуре нет ничего нового )) тема весьма затертая)

[@АндрейТретьяк-с6ф]

Надо ещё было вам добавить, что в случае если деталь вырвет, так как она держится не очень надёжно, то токарь (если останется жив и здоров ) испытывает очень яркие и глубокие положительные эмоции. Помню когда слесарь попросил отрезать кусок от резца высотой 32 мм, то от вибрации, так как работа на удар, кулачки приотжались ( а у резца стороны оказались не параллельны, это я уже потом выяснил)... и потом я выставлял переднюю бабку. И благодарил ангела -хранителя, видимо тому пришлось здорово поднапрячься.

[@dksmith605]

Nice. I would recommend you invest in a dead-blow hammer though, they really are the best tool for knocking the part hard into a chuck or machine vice, perfect for getting the part sitting hard against a parallel strip. If you can't invest the money to buy one (there are some reasonably cheap ones) then invest some time and scrap to make one. It's just a soft faced hammer with a hollow head which is filled mostly full of steel or lead shot. The shot provides a second impact that helps prevent the part from bouncing back. Every machinist needs a dead-blow hammer, it was one of my first projects as an apprentice.

[@449ste33]

Interesting but ever had one of those spacer bars pop out at you when you start up!? Centrifugal force is a wonderful thing. 😮

[@black_sheep_fab9411]

Brilliant. May not be to the .0001 but would be great for a shade tree guy like myself putting flats on a turnbuckle or something. Love it

[@jimwinchester339]

Yes, the "trick" to making a hexagon is to use your handy 60-degree angle piece. Who would've thought of doing that? Very original.

[@ctrlz4439]

For beginners/hobbyists in machining wihout a lot tolling it is a valuable idea how to make things.

[@RixtronixLAB]

Creative video , thanks you :) Do you have the technique on making a spiral drill bit ? thanks

@@YantooThanks, common drill bit, we use daily :)

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, that’s a simple way to form a hex, great job mate, cheers

[@michelfrance75]

You should explain how you proceed to obtain a regular hexagon with 6 identical faces and whose axis coincides with that of the starting cylinder.

[@wizrom3046]

He doesnt. This is the equivalent of "bucket chemistry" in machining. The best you get is a HSO 😁

[@oldfarthacks]

He makes contact and then turns in a specific distance from that contact point. The first face is at a random place in space, the 2nd and 3rd are set by the protractor. The next 3 are just by spacing against the bar up against the face of the chuck. Straight forward but still very smart.

[@elduderino1329]

It is pretty self explanatory to me.

[@toddz8579]

What’s not clear to me is how far into the piece do you advance the cutter when creating the faces of the hexagon, without doing the math. I must be missing a detail in the “bucket chemistry” mentioned here 😉

[@wizrom3046]

@@toddz8579 yep. You just cut them all to the same depth. That is all you need for a hexagon, 6 cuts to the same depth, and indexed somehow in 60 degree steps.

[@dannymullane9252]

Absolutely great thank you

[@kostia75]

[@gheumann]

Very clever. But having that bar stick out past the chuck is just a stupid unnecessary safety hazard.

Theres one part to this process that is not seen nor explained... how to know how much material to remove for each side so that the finished product is perfectly symmetrical...?

[@sovannv]

The depths would depend on the diameter of the beginning stock. The math is not that complicated. You got a hex. You can start from there

🙈 das tut weh beim zusehen, so viele schläge aufs Werkzeug und Vibrationen die der Maschine und deren Lager nicht gut tun. Bevor ich so mit einer Maschine und dem Werkzeug umgehe da Feile ich lieber per Hand und mit nen Winkelschleifer. Auch wenn die Technik auf den ersten Blick schlau ist, auf den 2. Blick kann man als Fachmann nur mit den Kopf schütteln. Grüße von einem Deutschen MAF Metall und Kunststofftechnik.

Unfortunately, he forgot to take a measurement somewhere, and then turn half of his hex width from each face. Then the outer contour would be good enough for a nut.
