[@JonathanRockway]

I always liked how Applied Science edits his videos; first show off the thing he made, then show the prototypes that didn't work and how it was made. For machining videos presented in "start with stock, end with part", I never quite understand what everything is going to look like at the end. So the videos where they show you the parts first, then make them, make a lot more sense. (Sure, when you're making something yourself, you don't get the actual part to work off of. But, you did model the part and plan the order of operations, so you start with a lot more context than KZbin viewers get.)

[@InheritanceMachining]

Glad you agree grin 😁 Some folks prefer not seeing what I'm making, but I feel like if I didn't show at least a glimpse, no one would bother clicking the video 🤷‍♂

[@corey_nz]

@@InheritanceMachining It does ruin some of the surprise of the finished item, but it does add another aspect to the video. Seeing a glimpse of the finished item and wondering "how in the heck did he machine that bit of it?" leaves me eager to see that particular operation

26 TPI is a British Standard Cycle thread (BS Cy) traditional on bicycles. 95% of cycle threads are 26 TPI no matter the diameter.

[@atvheads]

So basically 1mm metric pitch, just 0.023mm off.

[@emilcarr7190]

You’re mistaken, BSC/BSA is 24tpi, however Raleigh used 26tpi until standardisation and persisted for a while after to save changing their tooling in one factory. So 26tpi is Raleigh-thread

[@jessicatenary2126]

The bicycle connection makes a lot of sense, the clutch mechanism reminds me of a pedal brake

[@rollinrat4850]

Your talking about old bike stuff and even then there were lots of proprietary, so called, 'standards' . These days the only standard in the bike industry is that there is NO standard. The majority of modern bikes use M6x1 or M5x.8 small hardware. Bottom bracket 'standards' can be almost entirely non/standard. Even back in the day before modern press fit garbage and its idiotic QC and manufacturing issues, We had BSA threads, Italian, French, Swiss, Raleigh's proprietary threading, and many more. Old French bikes have a whole bunch of odd standards making them very difficult to find replacement parts. Fortunately BSA has become an accepted standard, 1.370" x 24tpi. T47 is a larger diameter variant on threaded BBs and a very few Italian manufacturers are stuck in the old days. There's also numerous headset and steerer tube 'standards. Old style threaded hub axles (higher end bikes now use 'thru axles') might have used 3/8x26 or 24, also 9mm or 10mm x1 and undoubtably others. Campagnolo used all sorts of weird proprietary threading back in the day. Thread tolerances can be so loose and sub standard (on cheap bikes) as to make the 'simple' cone adjustments not just a little frustrating. If you really want to be confused, look at the vast array of tire size standards! For such a simple, supposedly reliable machine, modern bicycles are often proprietary, complex and unreliable. The QC on overpriced bike junk is shameful and they're constantly trying to 'reinvent the wheel' to impress those fooled by marketing BS. As a lifelong cyclist, retired machinist, inspector, turned small business bike mechanic, this is all rather shameful in my point of view. Quality and engineering is extremely bad on overpriced production bikes in general. Even the most expensive. This has all been brought about for reasons of marketing BS, corporate profiteering, Asian manufacturing and modern consumer's intention to create landfill and always the 'upgrade'. Ironically, cycling is known as a 'green sport'.

He is the only machinist who explains what is being done from the "break it down to stupid level" all the way up to the calculus-based knowledge to design a project to see it completed. That is why I find his videos so entertaining and relaxing. I LOVE MATH and calculus, ohysics, and sciencey stuff.. However, one of my daughters is directionally (north, south, east west) and math challenged says, "Apples and oranges were never meant to be added or multiplied; they were meant to be SEPARATED!"

There is a fine tradition of machinists in the Army, still a few around. An instructor I met at former FT Lee was a military vehicle restorer.

And if course the tool set included a shaper. 🙂

[@bradhuffjr777]

It's my belief that hex dies are for chasing existing threads and round dies are for cutting new threads. What do you think and what have your experiences been?

[@thewafen763]

Nah not really. Both can be both but you can get descent result with a die if you just take a couple of passes with a single point cutter before hand

[@billdoodson4232]

Yes, split dies to cut a new thread, the split gives the ability to adjust the thread somewhat, or do a couple of passes. The die nuts should only be used to renovate an existing damaged thread.

[@ADBBuild]

I've heard people say this, but otherwise have seen no evidence elsewhere to support it. I've used both types to cut threads with no issues.

[@ktmturbo5836]

Dies are used for both creating new threads, as well as cleaning or repairing dirty or damaged threads. Dies designed for creating new threads are made with high speed steel, as opposed to re-threading dies, which are made from carbon steel. Thread dies are available in the split round adjustable, or hex varieties.

[@TheUncleRuckus]

Correct, hex dies are for chasing threads not cutting, that's why they're Hexagonal in shape so you can use a wrench on them. To the ppl who will say "well I've used hex dies for cutting threads and it worked just fine yadda yadda" well you can also use a pair of pliers to pull your nose hairs or a Deburring tool to cut chamfers or use a wrench as a hammer but that doesn't mean that's what they were Designed for.

[@crichtonbruce4329]

I'm constantly impressed by both your attention to, and skills at achieving, the aesthetics of your work. On lathe threading: An old tool and die maker who gave me some training told me to, whenever possible, single point thread a part close to finish and then use a die to finish to size. He said this saved a lot of time and greatly reduced the risk of spoiling the part. Thanks for such great content!

[@InheritanceMachining]

I've heard about that technique but never took the time to try if out. I really need to though because 80% real time in single point threading is the last few thou getting it right 😆 Thanks, Bruce!

[@Gottenhimfella]

@@InheritanceMachining Indeed. Also: this is a valid use case for hex die nuts. It is not widely realised they are not intended for cutting threads from scratch, and it is risky doing so in anything stronger or tougher than mild steel.

[@RedDogForge]

As my Grandad was fond of saying ( as it relates to mushy threads) "Slow down Shane, we're in a hurry, and having to do it again takes time"

Thank you sir! And that's a great tip. I used to do that exact thing but came to prefer just using my hand though i see now what you mean about possible up/down deflection causing error. I should do a test to see how much that affect it!

[@B_T-Weld_Machine]

Hey, it’s manny again here. I am probably an expert at picking back up threads, it’s one of the first things I had to get really good at and not because I just wanted to learn it, it’s because I messed up threads “a lot” when I was learning how to do it. I even have a BIG magnifying glass that has LED’s to see and get that carbide point aligned up perfectly. I still need it at times even years later. Glad to know others do it and I’m not as big of a moron as I kept telling myself I was. 😂 I like watching you create, I love being able to work with my lathe the “JFMT J1C 6240 w/ same apron as yours” and I finally acquired a mill, so many more opportunities just opened up for me. Which means a whole lot more magnifying glass times in my near future. Keep inspiring it trickles down to others.

[@BetweenTheBorders]

As embarrassing as it is, I'm confident enough to say that it took me two days (thanks Patreon!) to figure out how that clutch works and it's basically nothing. Ah, well, today I understand more than I did yesterday! Edit: Also, it's nice to hear "long time viewer" and be included. It's been a great time!

[@samwise098]

Ok, so how does it work? I can't figure it out

[@BetweenTheBorders]

@@samwise098 So, the die-holder assembly spins freely on the shaft, but when the handle is pushed or pulled the cones move outward and the die holder stops. The part I didn't get was that because you're putting forward force on it, it feeds the die into the part, making the cut. I . . . Huh. Do you run the lathe in reverse to get it off? Otherwise I guess I don't understand it. Point is the clutches just stop rotation, it's the operator pushing forward that actually begins the cut.

[@InheritanceMachining]

That's alright 😂 First time I saw the mechanism (in Jonesey Make's video) I didn't quite get it until I saw it in action. Also your description is exactly right. And I do have to reverse the lathe to back the die off. Probably could have made that a little more clear

There are at least THREE ways to cut male threads: single-point, with a threading die, and by ROLLING them. Commercial fasteners are almost always rolled. Rolling is faster, cheaper in large quantities, and results in a stronger fastener. It is required for aerospace and military-spec fasteners.

[@Ivegotwormsinme]

I've never watched a single one of your videos before, but the thumbnail for this came up on a synopsis/essay video for an episode of The Walking Dead that I consider to be my favorite episode. The entire time that I was watching that video, I kept looking over to that thumbnail and becoming more and more interested in whatever this video was or could be; I'd have to watch it to find out. So after I finished that video, I clicked on this one and figured "I'll give it a minute or two and if it doesn't grab my attention, I'll see what else this channel has to offer and go from there." I watched the entire video, enthralled at how intricate the process for making this die holder was and honestly, the parts where failures were shown and all of a sudden I didn't feel so bad anymore about when I go a little too far on my wood lathe and my bowl becomes a funny looking funnel. You did a great job of holding my interest throughout and I feel like I can take away something from investing my time in this video. Rad. Also: CHAMFER EVERYTHING.

[@cooperised]

16:40 For anyone else wanting to try a setup like this, keep your cuts light. Morse tapers don't like side loads and can wiggle free - that's why mills with MT spindles have drawbars even though Morse tapers are self-locking.

[@InheritanceMachining]

I didn't even know that. Thanks!

[@ronkellis769]

And for our next trick, a new center less handle for the tailstock so a drawbar can be installed to pull the MT tight. 🙂

[@cooperised]

@@ronkellis769 Doesn't matter in the tailstock because the load is axial (and torsional) which MT is very good at. It's only once you start applying "wobbling" side loads that you can run into problems, which basically means that the taper has to be rotating. A drawbar for the _headstock_ is totally feasible though (I have one, though I think I've only used it once).

[@Gottenhimfella]

@@ronkellis769 Myford ML7 lathes have a hollow tailstock barrel with a large diameter external thread; it's the only lathe in common use I know of which can accomodate a drawbolt, and about the only thing about them which is better than the more refined Super 7 which shares the same bed and many parts.

0:24 a trick i have learned is to support the back of the thread die with the tailstock (which should be a flat surface), letting the handle rest against another part of the lathe to transmit the torque, then by hand rotate the lathe chuck and thread it that way, that works pretty well.

I can watch you “chamfer” all day long. Brilliant build of a very useful tool. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👍😀

Love your videos! Need more of them!

Looking at it from a manual machining perspective this is a huge time saver when quickly knocking out any low precision thread. Sure you can use the regular wrench but as you showed the results are all over the place. This is the exact same amount of time to set up as a die wrench and it works infinitely better on the lathe. The fact you can trust it to make a halfway decent thread every time is a massive win. I usually avoid external dies like the plague but this makes me rethink it. Great video.

Fantastic content, this is only the second video of yours I've watched but as a Tool and Die Maker myself I can appreciate a talented artisan when I see one. Keep up the great work

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you, sir!

[@Griffon37]

I have been watching your work for a few weeks now. All very nice, looked for the Hemmingway kits after this and was surprised they are here in the UK definatly the best version I have seen. Thanks for the great content.

[@gexas38]

great vid and this project was amzing to watch...your video production is top flight and thats what keeps me glued to the screen

[@wayahedia9989]

I don't have any metal working gear. No lathe. No Mill. No intention of getting any. But these vids are great. They apply to any skills really and the non-intrusive nature of the production makes it fun to listen to while designing circuitry or doing cad. Good work man.

The only channel I follow that I get giddy when there’s a new video. Then I realize how many orders of magnitude above the home hobbyist he is! Well done!

[@InheritanceMachining]

I think that's a bit of a stretch, i just have a good editor 😂 But seriously, thank you 🙏

0:04 there's also rolled threads. :) They are the strongest too. Bicycle spokes are specifically (always) rolled threads. Bonus, there's flat plate rolled threads (you usually see those for bolts, because they're good for conveyor factories) and roller rolled threads (those be the bicycle spokes and specific low number pieces).

[@ronkellis769]

True. Just suggest caution with the "always." There is and will always be cheap junk. "Generally, usually, and most of the time." 🙂

[@Gottenhimfella]

In defense of the video maker, he did say there are two ways of CUTTING threads. (There are several other ways, including thread whirling, tangential self-opening chaser heads, and hand chasing (either single point or multiple conforming profile), but rolling is a different approach, neutral in the sense of being neither additive nor subtractive (which is particularly cool, I reckon). There may even be a female analog to thread forming (lobed, fluteless) taps which is another neutral option, but I've not come across it. It would certainly work for ultra ductile materials (copper, lead....) not much call for threads in lead, though, especially male threads.

[@Gottenhimfella]

Thread milling is another subtractive option, applicable to both internal and external threads (unlike thread whirling)

[@GeekOfAllThings]

Love your videos. Keep up the great work. I wonder if it would be possible to build a collet style mount for the adjustable dies without making the tool too long. Also, is that the box of shame, or the box of imperfection? A little of both?

[@DMPB-fi2ir]

that's an old holder style that goes back decades when i apprenticed the lathe had one similar mounted in a manual indexed turret tailstock with a rack and pinion feed to move it versus a hand wheel on an old Gilman lathe . the die holder had a stirrup type yoke fixed to a fined pivot to pull the die forward and back

[@kiyoshi8657]

absolutely incredible work!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks a lot!
