Custom Aluminum Rod Ends

I had a Patreon supporter request to machine a pair of custom rod ends. These will used with some of hi camping gear. I show a lot of everyday lathe and mill work including using a corner rounding en mill to machine the radius, and the use of my 6" Vertex simple indexing spacer.

I use collet blocks on my haas cnc machines, it makes it super simple to keep multiple ops clocked in, just move it down a vice crank out parts all day with no tedious indicating.

[@grntitan1]

I don’t think Adam’s channel was ever intended to be what the “home machinist” could afford. He’s a professional machinist with a professional shop. You use the tooling you have.

[@utidjian]

His stock was 1.5" diameter. The "humble collet block" (most humble with 5C collets) has a max capacity of 1-1/8" (1.125"). But yeah, if he had some 1" stock a collet block would be much faster and HSMers are more likely to have one. Or even turn the necessary length of 1.5" stock down to 15/16" (as per the drawing) before. There are other tricks for the HSM (or anyone really) 1. Use a parallel clamp or V-block clamped to the stock as a temporary reference, align the reference to the table with a square while clamping the work in a vise. Mill one flat. Rotate the work 180 align with square again, mill second flat. 2. Mill a 'referrence notch' somewhere in the middle of the stock. Clamp it in the vise with a square piece of stock in the notch. Mill your flat on the end. Rotate the work 180 and mill the second flat. 3. I can think of at least three more ways to do this that would be in the HSM range of capabilities. I think my first choice would be #2 though as it will also work with tougher materials and one can choke up on the work close to the vise for rigidity... HSM mills tending to be somewhat limber.

Lots of us don't own a Spindexer... So, yeah, clamp her down in V-blocks with strap clamps, mill the one side at both ends, the loosen, rotate 180 using a 1-2-3 block, gauge blocks, or a parallel to set the flat face parallel to the table, clamp her down again, and finish off the opposite side.

Thanks for the alternative workflow idea. Would you use the flats to index the 180, say with some parallels?

I would have clamped to the table slots and milled and reamed. Then used my reamer or a dial pin to line up on the holes and milled my other 2 flats.

[@1972C182]

The corner rounding tool produced an end that is curved in two directions. Seemed to me the drawing only specified a single curve (along the 7/8" dimension, not along the 1/4" dimension). I am sure it does not effect fitness for purpose. But am I right that the part does not conform to the print? How might one make just the single axis curve? (Great lesson, as always. As a hobby machinist I learn from every Abom79 video.)

Caveat of using the corner mill this way is that full radius is now tapered. In the print the full radius is square, the finally product is not. Probably doesn’t matter though. Looks good.

[@glenj.taylor2938]

Do you mean that the radius is now convex as opposed to tapered?

[@aj7utu]

Exactly. It’s not to print!

[@utidjian]

I agree it looks good. I disagree that there is an error in Adams interpretation of the drawing. More like the drafter (or the CAD program) omitted the detail. Possibly because they failed to understand the actual methods of manufacture. Doing the math (which I may have done incorrectly) I get an "error" of 0.017". But who has made the error? Clearly the drawing is in error since it didn't detail where and how this transition was to occur. Adam, in his wisdom, simply spread it all around the circumference of the radius where it is least likely to affect the strength and integrity and functionality for the intended use of the part. Adam also added chamfers where none were called out on the drawing wish is also in keeping of 'best practice' for a finished part. He aslo made it out of 6061-T6, a prudent choice of material, but none was specified. This is, at least, the second time this criticism has come up in the comments. I think I can safely say that none of the people making it have ever actually designed anything of this type that has been actually made.

[@thescantilycladcob]

1: This is for a tent, not a rocket 2: The drawing doesn't specify that in any way so it's open for interpretation 3: Even if it was blatantly incorrect it would be very rare for some extra corner rounding on a part like this to cause any issues with it's intended purpose

@@F0XD1E The inserts of the indexable endmill have a slight corner radius ( By eye I'd say about 0,2mm - 0,4mm / 0,0078" - 0,0156" ) which will leave the same radius in the internal corner of the part. This slight radius already goes a long way in decreasing the stresses. Most of these types of rodends will also see next to no forces bending them in the direction where it matters how sharp that internal corner is. So this should be just fine as it is.

0:18 I know that this customer probably isn't exposed to professional drafting and that you had personally communicated with them before, but did they really use fractions on a print and you didn't educated your viewers as to why that isn't a good idea (as an understatement)? On top of that, They used both fractions AND decimal on the same print... But to be fair, at least they included all of the required information to make the part and the 3 views are at the correct placement.

Tell Humphry Davies. He discovered it and that is what he called it.

[@alfonse4595]

Actually, brits just decided to spell it differently for some reason. The guy who named it (funny enough a brit himself) first called it alumium, and then settled on aluminum. Then the other brits decided to add in an extra i, possibly just so they could pronounce it funny.

@@garymallard4699 At least it isn't another "it's a car part therefore everything you did is wrong and you should feel bad"-type comment. Knowing what content viewers like is useful information.
