I should have made this tool sooner. 5C to 4 Jaw

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Still missing ya on Saturdays so a tour down memory lane brought me here today. I love shop made tooling. Money in the bank old friend.

Excellent work young man I'm a retired machinist of 50years got my own small shop in my garage I still like to tinker thanks for sharing

[@flick22601]

Don't worry about making your videos too long Steve. I think I speak for a lot of viewers when I say we'll watch every second of them.

[@the_hate_inside1085]

I didn't watch it in full due to time constraints, but everything I watched was solid content. Putting the shop to good use.

[@nevetslleksah]

I just speed up the playback speed and skip ahead when needed.

[@johnm840]

Length is fine for me, Just thinking but length is just what it is to get the context across. Aside: When I watch some of the Shawn Ryan Interviews, it's like 5 hours long. Yes a few setting to get thru it, but It's length is needed to get thru all the material and it also allows the interviewee to go off on tangents you will not hear on other formats. Delta and Seal members are part of his guest list.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Right to the very end. There are few sites that seem to be over far to quickly.

[@wk7060]

As a retired machinist of 40 years, a very nice video Steve!

[@SteveSummers]

Thanks Buddy, its good to see you👍Hope you are doing well .

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Nice to see you back to doing some machine work. Thanks for sharing.

[@vdubs4life1964]

If you need cheap lathe carbide you can use circular saw blades.. Just cut off one tooth along with about an inch of steel so you can weld it to your blank at the angle you want.. (better to use the thick blades). They make great cut-off tools for small diameters and thin wall jobs.

[@mtraven23]

I cut the whole tool from a saw blade & just stick it in a standard parting holder...no welding required, I'd be worried about heating the braze up too much.

[@mtraven23]

@rollinrat4850 i do it all the time. Even cheep saw blades work well. Here is the downside: there is VERY little contact area for the braze on the top of the saw. Since its carbide, you can pretty easily make enough heat to soften that braze & rip the carbide out...usually embedding it in the part. So my word of advice, keep them well lubricated / cooled.

[@watershedwonders1744]

Wow a machine shop progect, loved the gratuitous shaper tool tooling portion of the show.

[@KayleeKerin]

Right?! The shots with the door of the shaper open: Spicy!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Seeing the little saw brought memories of the big saw you spent so much time and resorses on. What has ever come of that old beauty?

[@PSUK]

Good morning from a very, very cold Dorset in the UK!

[@stuartschaffner9744]

I know that you did an impressive job on that truck and that it was important to you. Still, it's so nice to see some serious machining. Happy holidays to you and your family.

[@johnnyholland8765]

That's called making your own tooling. That will be very useful. That is a sweet little dog...

[@elmarqo_3448]

You've got to be as happy as a clam. You have a new shop, new truck and a new mill. What's next? A new lathe? I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for going to the work.

[@prodoverjeff2876]

As for me, I no longer use magnets when I can avoid them. I used to stick Allen wrenches and such to them, but over time the wrenches became magnets and chips stuck to them. Over more time, some screws would become magnets and chips would stick to THEM. The convenience became inconvenient.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Good morning from Minnesota!

Having pieces that can easily be taken from machine shop machines is sooooo valuable. A few hours here and there are quickly replayed 10X over. Thanks a bunch Steve. All the very best to you and yours this -40 winters day. The same for 2023 for you all.

Nothing better that Breakfast with Steve Summers and family on Saturday Morning! Great video and idea. I may just have to do that for my shop.

[@pilgrimm23]

For over a year you have been working on builing your shop, fixing your cars, doing Honey do projects all on film. Finally back to machinist work and with machines you rebuilt yourself. This video is ABSOLUTELY EPIC I agree, a long video is absolutely fine. I watched this in parts and took notes. All of your work shows a master's hand but this in particular was VERY enjoyable and fun. Thank you to the Summers machine shop

[@robertpeterson7542]

Thank you for an informative entertaining video, I am a second year student studying at the “KZbin University”, I learned some techniques different from other methods to create the chuck mounting arbor. Your calm demeanor aids in absorbing the methods you teach, I look forward to watching more from your channel.

[@goptools]

That is one of the great advantages of having a full machine shop, you can make your own tooling as needed. You cracked me up when you said "it's not ideal, I didn't say it was". Especially with the look that went with it! Happy Holidays! Thanks for the video!

[@William_Hada]

Nice to see you back at lathe and mill work. I picked up a lot of great tips. Thanks for sharing.

[@timothybryan5113]

Strong work. It’s a thing of beauty that will serve you well for years. Merry Christmas

[@mdlanor5414]

I really enjoyed watching your videos repairing your outbuilding and truck. That you did an excellent job at. I also really enjoy your videos machining, fabricating and repairing your machines. I really like that you are back to doing machinist videos. I subscribed to your channel not long after started producing videos. When I wake up on Saturday. Your KZbin channel is the first one I look forward to watching.

[@TrPrecisionMachining]

good job steve

[@BrianEltherington]

Very nice adapter Steve. Really appreciate that you keep the sound of the machines in your videos instead of overdubbing with music. As a novice it is very helpful to hear what a good cut should sound like. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@mikegoodman4133]

Next time please include footage of the vicious arguments you have with the other machinists in the shop! Thanks for the video and happy holidays.

[@SteveSummers]

It wasn't completely family friendly 😕. A bit of name calling and questioning of abilities. Typical bathroom mirror meeting stuff I guess.

Very nice job. The do-all is performing very well it was worth the rebuild. Merry Christmas.

[@EVguru]

Nice work. For those who's time/cost ratio decisions are different, you can just buy 5C blank end arbors. ArcEurotrade in the UK do them in 80 and 100mm diameters for chuck mounting.

[@benniethejew]

Time cost ratio...haha

[@bigbattenberg]

This is exactly why I always research before committing to the DIY route. Of course there are emergency fixes sometimes when lead times are unacceptable (factory line down situations). I often see people making their own 'COTS' items (T-nuts etc.) which is totally fine then you are a hobbyist but in the real world time is money. Not saying that is a good thing and I always try to find a balance.

[@vizionthing]

At 40:30, maybe the new intro to your future videos as an opener? I am glad that you made that piece and got it out of the way. It has to feel good what you just accomplished. Hello from San Antonio, TEXAS.

[@barryboyd7973]

Steve, I’m so impressed how your shop has been transformed. You can take on so many different jobs with the comfortable shop itself and the equipment, tooling and know-how you have. All your family’s hard work over the last few years has really paid off! It’s been a good time, entertaining and educational watching your videos.

[@thom3124]

[@jeffreysmith8735]

Really happy to see you back to making chips,very enjoyable!

[@Bryan13402]

Good job. You could add some flats 2/4 to the back plate squared up to jaws, when moving from fixture/machine without removing part from 4-jaw you have a reference surface to indicate from.

[@perherbert]

I like that big brown christmas ornament in your shop! 👍🎄

[@davidschwartz5127]

That is a handy tool to have in your shop, I did a similar thing with a small 4-inch, 4-jaw, #2 Morris taper that now will fit in my headstock or tailstock, I can quickly put the small 4-jaw on the headstock, with no need to remove the 8", 3 jaw or use it in the tailstock to cut tapers without moving my tailstock lateral setting.

That’s some weird steel you used. Didn’t make curls like most steel, but didn’t turn to dust like cast iron. Neat!

[@donjohnson605]

When single pointing threads I always set my compound at 60 deg. So I’m not cutting on both surfaces makes a very clean thread. Especially on coarse threads.

[@bigbattenberg]

Love your work. The energy that emanates from your shop is all positive and peaceful. Totally dig the fact that there's no DRO's anywhere in sight! I run a little shop here in Holland using only vintage iron mainly of German and Swiss origin. On the workpiece you made, Use a cylindrical fit and assemble with green Loctite like 601. Positive fit of 0.01 - 0.03 mm. Then skim cut the face. The bolt holes can be easily scribed off saving tons of time setting up the dividing head. Note: skimming through the comments it turns out the 5C/ blank end arbors are for sale for next to nothing. Goes to show it pays to investigate. Always more than one way to skin a cat.

[@rgmoore]

To each their own. Given the likelihood of alternate uses and the need for rigid work holding, I would have put the register in. Its a four jaw so any adjustment is easy to accomplish at the levels a register would prevent.

[@rossilake3430]

Agreed! That is the proper way to machine a backing plate. Weld inside shaft and recut the face/register/diameter. While checking for run-out.

might be usefull to make a remote controll for those higher levers so you dont have to climb on top of the duall mill basicly thinking about something simular to forward controlls on a motorbike , a lever thats mounted lower on the machine activating the original lever on top with a push pull rod and some rose joints

[@kaydog2008]

Hey Steve cold morning to ya from St. Louis Metro east IL. Just a thought. 🤔🤔I was also thinking you could also drill and tap for a locking set screw on the front to lock the C shaft and plate together. You never know what you might use the chuck for. Wouldn't want it to loosen or worst fly off for any reason. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@jeffreysmith8735]

If it can't be made perfect, make it adjustable.

[@lesliesmith2586]

Took the scenic route making your backing plate. A regular carbide insert, slow your spindle down and bury the carbide . Round piece in 2 passes no interrupted cut. A rotary table for a square hole patter? Figure you have to use it because you own it?
