Love the shot when you’re turning the drive shaft (~7:20). Starting zoomed out with the carriage fully out of the shot. Very sleek, some great videography. The movement of the carriage along with the slight movement of the cross slide is visually appealing. Clearly this came naturally from having to turn such a long part but it’s worth noting it’s aesthetically appealing for future videos.

[@mymechanicsinsights]

I probably wouldn't move the carriage so much behind for turning this part, but I liked to have a free bed when putting the part in on camera. I also really liked the look how it moved over to the work piece, that's why I kept that clip. Thank you Sam :-)

@@mymechanicsinsights Oh that slot for the circlip? I wonder if it's even possible with a mill

[@fletchro789]

@@flat-earther it's possible. You could use a fly cutter and go around the circle. Also a radial wheel type cutter. I've seen them for bores ~150mm (6") or larger. I worked at a large machine shop.

[@flat-earther]

​@@fletchro789 But how do you go around moving the table x y axis simultaneously in a perfect circle with a manual mill? I have never milled but on a manual mill I imagine you just have to leave the spindle in the center of the hole and then somehow have a cutter which will expand somehow I don't know? Actually after writing that I figured if you have a rotary table on the milling machine you could use a woodruff cutter (or a slitting cutter if you have one that's small enough to fit in the hole) and mount the part in a rotary table on the milling machine, feed the cutter into the part and just rotate the rotary table.

[@richardarmour4910]

Excellent video. Just when I begin to think my amateur scratchings on metal have approached adequacy, I find a vid from a REAL machinist. Great job!

[@LinHolcomb]

Very cool! We used a similar item in the food industry to marinate meat. It uses a stainless steel barrel, add your favorite whole boneless cuts of meat, chicken breasts, or pork tenderloins, for example. Add margination and pull a partial vacuum, rotate for about 15-30min. Cook immediately or chill or freeze for later. The commercial version does this with a glycol water jacket that is chilled to keep the regulatory people happy or it is conducted in a 4C cooler. In reality 30-40min is fine w/o refrigeration with care to cooking and chilling quickly afterwards. Maybe a follow up cross over with a cooking youtuber.

I like the connectors you crimp on the ends of the wires to give you a hard cable end. Here, wires are just stripped and the bare copper inserted into the device (and tightened with a screw).

[@mymechanicsinsights]

That's definitely the way to go! Thanks Uli

[@christiansprojects-cgmanuf1426]

Well, those spring contact terminals from Phoenix are actually designed to take wires with or without those wire end connectors. If you don‘t have good crimping pliers, it‘s better to insert the wire without end connectors because otherwise, the wire can slip out of the connector. But on all the other components like the contactor, switch and timer relay that have screw terminals, wire end connectors is the way to go 👍🏼

[@fletchro789]

Some folks crimp on a connector AND solder it on. I believe that's overkill.

[@zarco5855]

Just curious, what's the actual difference between the OFF and Emergency stop buttons for this motor?

[@th3greg]

off is just that. off. when you hit the on button, it restarts. EMO will disable the on button until you reset the EMO button (the twist you saw him do). Its also easier to hit (no frame around the button, it's a mushroom style) so you can slap it in an emergency. The idea is that if something is going wrong and you hit the EMO, you can't accidentally restart it before the issue is fixed. One other small thing is that the motor doesn't actually see the difference. The difference is actually for the control box alone. You could, if you wanted, set up the motor so that as soon as you plug it in it starts going until you unplug it, though that would be inconvenient and unsafe.
