Chamfering Block Build

[@billdlv]

Great job Tom 👏 👍 Silent auction to support your channel.

[@ThisOldTony]

nice! will make one! I use a big magnetic v block but this saves a ton of time not having to wheel a grinder up and down. and now maybe all my chamfers might even be the same size!

[@JamesChurchill3]

You'll finally be able to keep your chamfer drawer full!

[@jmtx.]

A video we can look forward to‽

[@westweld]

Dont you have a cnc mill to be working on Tony haha

[@oxtoolco]

From the looks of your fingernails you already have one and use it to do your nails..... All the best, Tom

[@SuperAWaC]

Stefan has a chamfering tool that uses a V block with a slot clamped to a router, but that would have a lot more trouble with hardened steel.

[@PorkBarrel.]

A very useful fixture! Contacted for a drawing!

[@matttradie1341]

Excellent. Genius. I reckon give it away to an apprentice. Only apprentices can put their name in for it. People that have their own surface grinder should be making their own.

[@jsteifel]

so nice to have you back with regular videos. Thank you.

[@SteveSummers]

I really like working Delrin. Thanks for the video Tom, I always look forward to them.

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Steve, Thanks for stopping by. Delrin beats working with concrete blocks....... Cheers, Tom

[@SteveSummers]

@@oxtoolco Yeah😁

[@ChrisShenar]

I'm a woodchuck and love that you embraced the dark side by using the hand plane. :D

[@DudleyToolwright]

I saw this tool in the last video and added it to my list of things to make. You either make me buy something or build something. Insidious. Nice trick with the 246 block.

[@darkhorsestudios76]

Ah, yet another great vid from Mr. Lipton. Best way to end a monday, thanks Tom. As to who should get the new tool? Who deserves it?? Silent Auction?? Hmmm... How about a quiz, where you ask a bit of machinery based trivia that is rarely known at best, and whomever can figure it out wins the teddy. Or better yet, just say " oh never mind all that folks" and let me get my grubby hands on it!😉

[@bboomer7th]

GRIPTION! I first heard that word over three decades ago, before I knew what a neologism was. Thanks for the smile, and thanks for your work.

[@twobob]

It's wrong how awesome your projects are. But here we are, universe improved; one chamfer at a time. Thanks Tom, make waking up at 4am utterly worthwhile.

[@nunyabizness6734]

As a woodchuck, I'm proud to see the use you're getting out of the block plane! When I started woodworking I was all about finding the best, most efficient way to use power tools to complete a task. But I've come to learn that there are so many tasks that can be completed easier, faster, and with as-good, if not better results, with quality hand tools. Any new and novel use for a tool only increases that tools value.

[@hdheuejhzbsnnaj]

I''m in the shop right now taking a break in between making chips and now I get a Lipton vid for my break? Life is too sweet.

[@elcuhhh8761]

Taking a break from work to watch someone else work

[@xmachine7003]

Coffee?

[@johnodonnell4910]

Thank you so much, you are fueling my love of the craft right now. I will be taking your chamfer tool project to my college to make and creat a lesson plan for De Anza Design & Manufacturing Department. I think this is a great project. Also I want one for my new job as a machinist in San Jose, Ca. I have gone from Realtor to Machinist Newbie in 6 months flat. Just a vet finding a place to fit in again with some inspiration from your channel. Thank you again for paying it forward to us younger guys getting in to it. That is not always easy to find.

[@christurley391]

Looks like a handy surface grinder device. Thanks for the video Tom.

[@frijoli9579]

Cool project. I did notice the upper "bar" flexed while being used. Silent auction!

[@oxtoolco]

Might have to add a stiffener for the plastic version. Thanks I'll go back and look at the video a little closer. Cheers, Tom

[@twobob]

@@oxtoolco A simple 10c aluminum brace across the top may well have been advisable. but dude. Wheres my car? Acetyl - putting the Cety in Al. ;)

[@Dans-hobbies]

I'm seeing the same thing, specially when @oxtoolco increased the size of the chamfer.

[@rodneykiemele4721]

After seeing the last video, I was hoping you’d show more about this tool and was extremely happy to see you’re making one, Thanks

[@rgmoore]

Tom, I appreciate your quality work and instruction. I'm so happy to see more videos from you and Robin these days. Thanks for sharing!

[@CRUZER1800]

Hit the Button years ago and haven't looked back.... Another interesting video.. Thanks.

[@westweld]

Make your own youtube video contest......everyone makes a short video of a simple project they do in their shop and you pick your favorite one......you work to build it we work to earn it.....love the videos thanks tom.....if it wasnt for you machinists taking the time to make these videos I'd still be burning up endmills in reverse......I even made a couple crappy videos thanks agian

[@lfljvenaura]

Thanks for the video of this, Tom. Mystery unveiled. This will go toward the top of my to do list! Cheers, avantgeared

[@Dimalf]

Now i can chamfer all my gage blocks!

[@ExtantFrodo2]

Can't you just drop them on the floor like most people?

[@4GSR]

@@ExtantFrodo2 Then use a oil stone to make them flat again.....

[@ExtantFrodo2]

@@4GSR that takes forever, man. Seriously, just 20 or 30 seconds on a grinding wheel fixes them right up. Just hold on to them or they'll go flying mucking up all your hard work. 😜

[@swojto2598]

Hi Tom, I was looking at your back wall as you were milling the Felton block. I was thinking if you reversed the two mill handles you would spell out OX. Just a thought.Stefan

[@ROBRENZ]

Nicely done Tom! Very handy piece. I just finished the Dotco chamfermeister attachment. ATB, Robin

[@Johnholt73]

What a cool little fixture. A thought, as I and prob a few here don't have a surface grinder; could one use a small axial grinding wheel in a mill and have a similar fixture? The Y axis used to set the depth of the chamfer.

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Nicely done! Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@robertdikes7722]

Thanks Tom for your posts! I am a new subscriber and enjoy your content!

[@joeyg8172]

I noticed the KE-55 at the beginning of the video, those are great machines and so simple to run!

[@FredMiller]

Thanks for following through with a build of this tool. I think I will use aluminum in lieu of Delrin since I have a chunk.

[@angelramos-2005]

Very well organized procedure.Thank you

[@bobtherat99]

I love using my Record plane on Delrin. I have had good luck by skewing the plane about 15 Degrees. That way the edge doesn't hit the saw marks straight on. But using a plane on Delrin is oddly satisfying. Once I get the bite set it is great. Push and Robert Is Your Father's Brother.

[@craigbrown790]

Thanks Tom for another great tool making project, another one to add to the list. Keep them coming. Cheers, Craig

[@cobraframebuilding]

Oh boy! I would have loved this a few years ago! I was always so entranced by Rob Renz's ChamferMeister but I never worked how to make my own. This would be great if you had a surface grinder. I can just CNC the chamfers now and even use 3d toolpaths for multi-axis fillets and all sorts of complex geometry, but this is a lovely solution.

[@aaronarcher2356]

You're a cool dude. Appreciate your willingness to transfer knowledge.

[@tedchelgren1100]

Simple solution to what to do with your extra unit - send it to me! Keep up the great work on the videos!

[@papa1006rc]

Great video. I’m going to try to make one out of aluminum. Keep the good videos coming

[@oxtoolco]

That will work great. Get it hard anodized and it will last for years. Cheers, Tom

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

Cool project..very thanks for your time

[@prentissvise]

That is a great tool. When I make mine I will probably add a small steel flatbar across the top, single screw in each end and maybe one in the center, to keep the top bar from flexing.

[@jmtx.]

Very useful tool. That was nice intro for new viewers.

[@kevinplowman8982]

Love the V blocks and now this one you should think about going in business making these kind of tools

[@spikey2740]

That's a handy little tool. On the last cutout of the plastic how about coming in at the middle and work outward in both directions to preserve as much supporting material for as long as possible? That might minimize the vibration you spoke of.

[@westweld]

I know your loving that little planer

[@devster52]

Love that Marvel saw. We had one of those in the Engineering Lab machine shop I worked in at Boeing. It was fantastic.

[@kirill87600]

Thanks for sharing. Really saves time. The right tool for the welder. This attachment can be adapted to the bench grinder. Can be made from getinax or dense wood?

As a woodchuck, I love seeing you use that beloved Lee Nielsen plane. It isn't like Delryn is any harder than rock maple. I use Starrett stuff for woodchucking. 😁😁😁

[@ned_mograph5957]

hey! Absoultly love your content! Where did you get the thin, large v-blocks at 26:58?

[@cclemans]

Appreciated the threat to debur with the Lie-Nielsen...as a loyal viewer of the sawdust persuasion you remain the only creator in my experience to take a hand held router and a carbide ro bit to a piece of mild steel...and pull it off I might add! Thanks for all you do and for keeping me smiling.

[@radardoug]

In the video I can see the thin part of the chamfer block bow slightly as you slide your part across it.That might explain the inconsistent chamfer depth.

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Doug. After looking at the chamfers they were the same size. I think there was a burr on that edge that made it sound like it was cutting heavier. Psyched me out for a minute. Cheers, Tom

[@radardoug]

Good catch!

[@docdinthedungeon559]

Love it! Will have to make one. I’d suggest that you take nominations from your subscribers for a worthy machinist to give it to. I nominate Don Garringer

[@bhoiiii]

How about using it to challenge other creators? Would love to see other creators build a chamfering machine that would work with a bench grinder, or mill, or some other way that we haven't thought of. Cheers friend.

[@davidfarmer]

Pretty cool. If you don't have a grinder an alternative is to make a v cut into a block of delrin, drill a hole down through the block half way down the V, take a broken quarter inch endmill, grind the endmill flat, then grind half of it away at the end, then grind a relief, put the cutter in the hole so it so it can cut a chamfer as you push stock along it. you can add set screws for adjustment and tightening the cutter

[@Jeremy-zi6pi]

Now I'll have to make one of these to chamfer the adjustable v-block parts!!

[@TheMiniMachineShop]

That gives me a great idea for the tool grinder since I don't have a surface grinder!!

[@stephensarkany3577]

I would make the steel version, great idea. From time to time I do make a lot of small D2 blocks & the 12 edge beveling can be slow. So thanks for the idea.

[@Platypus2048]

That's really cool! I'll make a modified version for my belt grinder. Thanks for sharing

[@mpetersen6]

I always did my chamfering with a magnetic vee block. I eventually made 45°, 30°, 15°, 10° and 1 through 5°. They also worked nice for doing ground angles on hardened parts. I have a real aversion to hold parts by hand near rotating equipment.

[@jpiccari]

Nice block plane. I suspect most woodchucks rolled their eyes at that tiny little plane. Not really a size most would have any use for but sure is cute. Also perfectly fine too cut plastic with it.

[@Cpl.Cadaver]

Mr. Lipton, it may seem insignificant to you but would you please show what appears to be you coolant system on your mill? I am curious about your coolant which you store in what appears to be a repurposed soda bottle.

[@robertoswalt319]

Perhaps a door prize for the Bar-Z virtual bash or maybe auction it off and donate the money to Meals on Wheels? Thanks for the great video. It provided me a great distraction from studying for a final exam I have in a couple of days.

[@anthonyprice5596]

Is there any way you could get the same effect without the surface grinder, same consistence, but with just a mill , lathe and pillar drill? Or should I just hack as I have done with the linnisher?

[@johnnason7019]

Seems like a version of this for a bench grinder would be ideal. The Kurt 3600v is great, you can get a square right up next to it, and you can mount it on it's side. Aside from the additional expense, I don't know why anyone gets the old style.

[@philoso377]

Page 36:29 Concerning your 123 block, does it get chamfered in that process, intentionally or inadvertently?

[@BIGT7543]

Where can I get one of those mini planers that you used to take the burs of the Delrin block ? That would really help at work for cleaning up part edges

[@hhmachine4254]

That is a Lie-Nielsen Violin Makers Plane. I am pretty sure. Lee Valley (Veritas) also used to sell a mini-plane as well. I am not sure if they still produce it.

[@beachcomberbob3496]

I've never had much luck with fly cutters. Could you show us how you grind your cutter bits? In a meatloaf episode maybe?

[@Bartolobot]

suggestion I could see some significant bowing on the plastic part right at the top middle. That would result in wider chamfers as you apply higher pressure. I would advise you to make that top portion of the plastic jig out of steel. Hold it down with two screws similar to how you did the bottom. just section it off at the "V" valley parallel to the bottom.

[@JonathanExcels]

Some of us just like to see how things are made. The odds of me ever using any metal head machines is pretty low but I still like to see how it’s done.

[@mattym8]

Didn’t want to fill the Marvell with delrin sawing out the 45 degree chunk?

[@oxtoolco]

I did think about it. Cheers, Tom

[@peterridgway7355]

Great tool, can’t wait to make one for myself 😁

[@Rob_65]

Nice. I guess This Old does not want to ask for your block but maybe we should let have it so he can continue on his Maho 🤣 I noticed "Van Bebber" engraved on the fly cutter. I actually got some tools from a local guy here in the Netherlands named "Wim van Bebber". Would be a coincidence if that was family ;-)

[@EwieEnde]

Why didn't you run in synch with face milling at min 16:11 ? Better the first one cuts from the left side and the last one from right side. Cut to the center, then there is no degree on the outside edge

[@stonevalleyozark475]

I vote for you to send it to Abom79 since he just acquired his first surface grinder.

[@kevinzucco8358]

Thanks I was hoping you would have a video of this being made.....silent auction to support your channel!

[@remoman]

Delrin is such good stuff.

[@bexpi7100]

I think you should do either the silent auction or the raffle.

[@stuartschaffner9744]

I was fascinated by the surface pattern on the sloping surface of the delrin block when illuminated by the raking light from the grinder. I know that surface was milled, but it still looked laminated. Are thick blocks of delrin laminated from sheets or are the marks strictly from the milling?

[@noodles7011]

Why didnt you turn your square 90° and use the top of the jaw on the vice when you squared that block standing on its end

[@henry67278]

If you wanted to extend the life of the tool you could ad a peice of metal where the sparks hit the delrin in the form of copper or aluminium tape or a machined peice. Great video I do like working with delrin to make soft fixtures for my tabletop cnc

[@thomasherbig]

Now I want to have a surface grinder even more!

[@crossbowhunter9118]

[@danielesilvaggi]

Love this I would make if I could. Where did you get the delrin?

[@TheMetalButcher]

Hey Tom. I bought the same Glacern facemill after seeing it on your channel. I always have problems with cast iron chipping the inserts even though steel rarely ever does. Any recommendations? Hopefully some that don't cost $250 a pack?

[@minigpracing3068]

I never thought to use a hand plane on delrin, looks like a good idea.

[@carlwhite8225]

thanks Tom.

[@markschweter6371]

How about a carbide blade in that plane for metals?

[@spaight711]

Now for the million dollar question: How many linear feet of material do you have to feed that thing before the sparks melt enough plastic for it to matter?

[@TheMoonman1231]

What feed and speed did you use to cut the delrin on the bandsaw?

[@Dans-hobbies]

Tom, You probably don't want to design/machine it again, but this might also make a good weldment or screwed together project.

[@bbrand6755]

That black slab reminded me of the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". You could have played "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" as background music, that would have been cool. :-)

[@evil16v1]

Love those 45° vice inserts. What tool steel did you make those from? Hardened?

[@ipadize]

8:55 i actually prefer to not hammer them down because i noticed that the part will be more parallel if i dont hammer it

[@ericjenness2337]

Never hammer the part down on the first side, always hammer it down on the second side. That way you know it's on the parallels.

[@Chris-bg8mk]

So great having you back on a regular basis Tom! I've always found that heavy cuts in Delrin are a great way to create a quality Lenny Kravits Halloween wig! :o) While I'd LOVE to have a Lipton original in my tool collection some day, I think you might auction it off and support a worthy charity.

[@mikekellam365]

I just wanna say: That "dimple" at the front edge of your "thumb-plane" is ACTUALLY for you're FORE-finger!! LOL!! (And I highly doubt, that phenolic is nearly as hard as Ipe (ee-pay) or "balau" so, that planer edge is just fine!! I've even used mine to "cham-fere" aluminum! (al-u-minium)! Awesome work as USUAL..
