Boring out exactly .002" of material, part 3

[@jheurtin1120]

I love this guy. " a good part should always be aged so it has the proper color and feel and smell to the customer"🤣🤣🤣

[@jimwednt1229]

Dude I agree with that, sometimes I buy new parts and they look suss. 😅

[@jimwednt1229]

My maternal grandfather was a machinist/gunsmith ran his own (relatively small) shop . 1st generation German immigrant . He was A very proud American citizen. This was back when you had to be a good Person with the means to support yourself And be a productive member of society,before being allowed into the country, And then Were required to assimilate into American way of life before you were granted citizenship. You had to learn the language You had to Learn American history and the Constitution and the bill of rights . Had to learn all the states in the union and the capital cities Etc and pass a test on it. ( Very different from today's Immigration policy of only letting in hostile illegal aliens waving their own flags Public assistance bound breeders.) I digress. He , my grandfather earned a reputation for being able to design and make anything; precision parts, tooling and dies for factories, other machine shops , all from scratch from just a short description of the function the part needed to perform. Ford Motor Company, Colt, Winchester engineers etc. Were regular customers. This was a small town outside of Houston, Texas . He'd take a mental note of what they needed and in a couple of days he'd have a working part. Ran his shop for 30 years and died of tongue cancer in 1976.

These longer vids are great, the conversation while the job is getting done is the best part of the job, well after the pay.

[@anthonylandis]

Really loving the subtle business tips.

[@Ironmountain81]

Alot of the old equipment,parts are no longer available.big mine operations rely heavily on good machinists to correct a part to make it work,or in many times make the parts needed from scratch!awesome video!

[@mikegoodman447]

I ran a CK10 cylinder honing machine and you could determine taper by how many amps the motor was pulling. To tight change the stroke up to clear it up. Only thing I noticed on this job is when checking the bore it was always in a different spot where the machine basically stopped. I would have marked the piece and measured in the same spot every time. Then spot check around the piece. Never know you might be measuring hot spot in the bore. Nice job.. .

[@martindennehy3030]

You're right about the gap block, you're never supposed to remove them unless you absolutely have to because they never go back the same.

I loved the ending.😆.

[@billythebake]

Funny thing about getting a job done too quick - definitely applies to automotive repair There was a timing belt job I used to do super regularly, build 7.2 hours; eventually got down to taking me under three - once you do something a few hundred times, you can do it quicker than the "average" If customers would have seen that, they would have screamed. So, they didn't see it.

[@Bata.andrei]

I know exactly what you mean about old CNC's. I have a CNC mill built in 1976. I had to load a configuration paper tape every time I powered it up. I since modified it with some new technology to automatically load a config file from an Arduino.

[@ypaulbrown]

really enjoying part 3....cheers from Florida.....Paul

[@scottgain604]

High speed steel dressed a little too sharp, it's only .001 or .002 your taking but remember your cutter is very fragile. Can't really run too slow, heat is your enemy and it's an interrupted cut with the keyway. Squirt a little Tap Magic (or whatever) into the cut. Tool post grinders are the cats meow in this case, Tap Magic (or whatever) works here too.

Thanks for sharing watched em all. Learned alot

Great video series. Thank you for sharing.

My experience in retail, the problem with having numbers other than what is expected, even if in your favor, is that it almost always means something bad. Generally, this is because some other records weren't done right, or some other issue is just now revealing itself. Having a lower final cost than what was quoted is obviously an exception but it causes a knee jerk reaction of "oh no, what went wrong to cause this" nevertheless. And if someone wants to be a real pain about it, they can say, "Well then, why was the quote wrong? Have we been overcharged in the past? We expect lower quotes in the future"

I rep a machine shop and I have no clue how this guy is so smart. Can’t type an email to save his life, but probably the smartest principal I rep by far.

First programing 1976, first email 1998, but I still hate texting.

[@somebodyelse6673]

When taking cuts less than the corner radius of the insert, isn't it more of a burnishing than cutting action? As in, the chip isn't being peeled off by the insert edge, but mashed off to the side?

[@problemwithauthority]

yeah, I've had a few of those moments where suddenly the ID tapered in the wrong direction.

[@chriswalford4161]

“Why did you charge us less?” “Because we’re better than we thought we were”

[@scottgain604]

Proper color feel and smell. Sometimes you can provide a great functioning part that the user doesn't like, but they really like the piece of crap that looks and feels good. Make parts that work, look, and feel good.

[@tcmtech7515]

My solution to dealing with companies that get upset for having been charged them less is to kick that problem as far up their company ladder as it will go and have it dealt with top down. Turns out CEOs/company owners really dont like their subordinates throwing fits over sub contractors/suppliers having given them a price break because they appreciate the work they get from them.

However, as he stated, often it works out over time on long term customers

Who measured the shaft? Hope that was correct. Alittel more heat , doesn't take much to gain . 002 on 6" bore.

HOWEESMACHINESHOP....just curious why you did not zero the other axis? [Y axis, I forget sometimes if it is X or Y] For me, it would be less numbers to see if it moved for some reason..... thanks , Old Man Paul......

[@ronosga4391]

Working small job shops I would have three machines running, now how do you charge the customers. I would average the hours between the jobs, but then the next time the customer would be like why was it 3 hrs. last time and 5hrs. this time. The worst customer trick was, we need it right away and then pick it up three days later, their thinking was a rush job will take less time, well it doesn't take long to catch up to them and then they pay double.

[@HOWEES]

I have had several "need it today" & then they go MIA for months. That is part of why my need it now price is 30% higher per hour, it weeds some of the BS.

[@valkman761]

With all the hassle this customer has with this piece, one would think a design change would be beneficial.. a design which doesn't require a shrink fit

It's a piece of mining equipment from the 40's. I'm sure the new iterations have some changes. -Cameraman

I would have thought with HSS tool and a 6 inch diameter you would be running about 80 rpm...... but I am a bit conservative after burning up many tools in my youth learning....cheers, Paul

[@fredflintstone8048]

Silly question: If it ends up costing you less than the bid do you lower the price? In the world of bids, sometimes you lose because your bid wasn't high enough, other times you make out because you got the job done easier, faster and made more money. It all comes out in the wash. You cannot go back and ask for money when you make the mistake of under bidding, you don't give the money back because you made a little more on a job. There are other problems with giving money back. It tells the customer that you're bidding too high in general. The price is an agreed on total price. You're not working by the hour, you're working by the job. No offense but anyone who would ask that question is out of touch and doesn't understand the business. There is also risk involved in removing too much material. A higher price also helps pay for taking the higher risk. Howee is also absolutely correct about letting the part age and never getting it back to the customer ahead of schedule. This goes for any kind of business where you do bid jobs. If you happen to get the job finished ahead of the time you promised the customer. Let it age. Writing software, making parts, it doesn't matter what the job is. If you get the product back to the customer ahead of schedule they're going to 1) Assume you're over charging. 2) You can get jobs done faster than you promise. Also, always give yourself a time buffer. If you get the job done on time you're a hero. If you're 10 minutes late, your a bum.

I had a boss like that also. He would come and lean on the tailstock of my cylindrical grinder putting a taper on my part. I gave him hell for it and he didnt talk to me for a couple weeks. 😅 Fine by me. He was a shithead.

What a mess your creating …..STOP…..what you are doing …..mill yourself a key … fill the gap ….tig weld the ends in ….or how ever ….bore within .005….006…. Hone to size …..straight …on size ….super finish ….what you have I would reject I’m sorry to say …..I have been there …I have seen this so many times….

[@frankconnell7481]

I was thinking that's the way I would approach this job from the beginning. Bore the installed keyway to the undersized bore dimension, remove from lathe and hone to correct size lickity split. Set it on the bench for aging and bill at the quoted price. Get the job done in less than half the time. Forget about the rebates to the customers, if you spend enough time running a shop you'll take it in the shorts sooner or later.
