Axle | Test Indicators SHARS vs BROWN & SHARPE

[@johnbishop9245]

years ago I dropped a Brown & Sharpe Dial caliper, cried for 3 days, Was so proud of it when I got it

[@ChrisMaj]

Let's just say I've messed up a few indicators myself.

[@ICA17887]

Hi Chris I really appreciate this video with the close-ups and slow motions of the turning of this beautiful piece of steel with all these big blue shavings flying, thank you and have a nice weekend. I have never checked a room with such a digital caliper.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Chris, beautiful job mate, pleasure to watch, cheers

[@schlaznger8049]

Big cuts and Big balls. Something lacking in every shop today. Nice job!

[@NJUSAWEST]

Nice cut, Chris. i love to see your machine working. 👍👍👍🥰

[@BruceBoschek]

The Blue Chip Special! Beautiful work as always, Chris Wishing you a pleasant Sunday.

[@markanthonysmith413]

Great job Chris, nice large cuts. All the best Mark

[@ganeshpandi2666]

Unbelievable.....you are the machinist. I watching your videos long time with out subscribe but today i subscribe your channel

[@scania357]

Lovely job mate. That little lot would would probably take me 6months to do and they wouldn’t look so good when finished. Thanks for sharing.

[@momohtolulope-o9o]

Nice job i can feel it steady precision

[@dawszelka5461]

Ty to chyba jesteś poparzenioodporny Chris ;D te wióry tak latają a ty takie zbliżenia robisz hehe :D tak czy siak super robota jak zwykle ;D jesteś mistrz w ustawianiu detalu na zegar ;D

[@ChrisMaj]

Chyba nie ma takiego żeby nie był poparzony przy tokarce (ryzyko zawodowe). Z tym ustawianiem to się staram żeby dobrze wyszło na filmie 😉

[@SimonPEdwards63]

Mine are Compac brand - you can buy them any more, so I'd be devastated if I broke one...

[@CeErCeEr]

Thanks for video and S, F values, I really want to learn how you arrange finish passes, how measure, 1 or 2 or 3 passes for final dimension, Can you catch under 0,01mm dimensions on same machine? Do you have any video to refeer in your channel this final passes? Thanks again, best regards.

[@ChrisMaj]

Most of the time, it's 2 finish cuts.

[@lancer2204]

I'm really wondering about the application of those rollers if those bolts need to be lock wired.

[@ChrisMaj]

Big ass overhead crane, commonly called a bridge crane.

[@lancer2204]

@@ChrisMaj Yeah, you don't want stuff falling off and onto the production floor below, it tends to upset folks.

[@sandycreation1864]

Nice work, how much cycle time taken plz?

[@juliusmilo5959]

High professional job...Thank you for the video...

[@forrestaddy9644]

I'm guessing the initial roughing cuts took about 40HP. How close was I? Love the smell of paint scorching off the chip pan. The tenth DTI's mounted on long mag base arms (Noga?) Much elasticity there where a few milligrams is enough to deflect the arm some very small amount which may be within the hystersis band of the indicator. Even the best DTI's have some stiction in their movements and require a tiny bit of agitation to reliably register small deviations when mounted on slender elastic rods. Your machine is very large and massive. I bet you don't feel any vibration in its structure except for heavy interrupted cuts. Old Bob Chouinard taught me to lightly tap the rod with a wood pencil, tap the machine near the mag base with a small (4 oz) soft hammer, start a traverse motor or coolant pump, any slight shock or vibration to agitate the DTI's movement to gain a fully settled indicator reading. I purchased lathe tools, milling cutters, inserts, indicators, etc from Shars over the years. My experience was Shars products generally perform up to spec. Any small deficiencies weren't critical to performance and cost savings easily overrode trivial dissatifactions. Naturally, the old mantra applies: comparison shop wisely. (13:50) Why do I shudder when I hear a pneumatic sander in hearing range of ball bearings assembled in their housings open to falling debris?

[@ChrisMaj]

Yeah, close 35hp.

[@Chiefs1582]

I did that for a while buying the cheap stuff spi etc. In the long run getting Starrett or Mittos would of been more wise so i didn't have to buy the same thing twice.

[@ChrisMaj]

I like that Sharp indicator just for the large face. I don't use small test indicators that much..

[@jimsvideos7201]

As much as I'm just a photographer who has tabletop machines, I do have a 5-place Mitutoyo mic but it lives in its case when I'm not actively using it. My 1" mechanical mic I don't mind leaving on the table, and my $30 caliper I will gladly use to (lightly) scribe layout lines.

[@ChrisMaj]

I'm that guy who has a little bit of both. That cheaper stuff is not as bad as it used to be 10,20 years ago, but I also have a lot of expensive stuff, but that's only for special occasions 😅

[@paulrash2886]

Thats just old hat for Mr. Maj. Nothing but first class quality work.

[@johnlawler1626]

Nice bit of turning 👌 thanks for sharing 👍

[@shawnhuk]

Takes me an awful lot longer on a manual lathe… wish I had a nice big cnc lathe like that.

[@exsoldier2012]

Ładnie wygląda zdolności są 👌

[@skuresture]

Wow nice looking rollers

[@za3terbouncho648]

شكرا لك لقد ادعمتك في قناتك

[@godvader2646]

Don't you use full profile plates for the thread?

[@ChrisMaj]

No, never did. I do a lot of different types of threads, metric and imperial, and as long as it's 60 degrees I can do all of them with just one insert.

[@momohtolulope-o9o]

Why don't you apply coolant

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

good video chris maj

[@dennissheridan1550]

Would I be right in assuming those are street car wheel assemblies?

[@ChrisMaj]

Close 😉

[@markfiges999]

Nice job Chris

[@Donkusdelux]

i use the interapid test indicators, extremely nice quality. better then starrett & mitutoyo test indicators combined

[@googlesux1062]

Same. With one of their test indicators can go from rough setup to dialed in a single pass on the small hole edm I sometimes run.

[@ChrisMaj]

With my type of work, I don't really use 0.0005"or 0.0001" test indicators.

[@googlesux1062]

@@ChrisMaj I'm sure it's not at all necessary for your work, bit imagine having that resolution with 0.030" of travel for the 0.0001" indicator or 0.060 " for the half thou.

[@shawnhuk]

lol, nice. Air die grinder near by - open bearing cages.

[@ChrisMaj]

13:24 they were deburring sharp edges on them keyways. That was before bearings and bearing boxes.

[@abpsd73]

Overhead crane rollers?

[@ChrisMaj]

That's right

[@bones357]

Like they owed you money my friend!👊

[@Spikeydelic]

@11:20 we use magnets to hold those rods in place. :)

[@shoppy00]

great !

[@mattanderson5821]

Apparently you don’t like quick change tool post?

[@ChrisMaj]

Never had a chance to try them.

6:14 jestem ciekaw ile by wyszło z fix8 ;d

[@ChrisMaj]

Nie przyszło mi do głowy żeby porównać.

Horrible music

There's always the volume down button or skip.

Cool job!!🤟
