What Happens When You Procrastinate...

Let’s face it, it’s far too easy to push off all the little inconveniences and annoyances that crop up while working in the shop. Especially so if they get in the way of the projects we actually want to make. But sometimes those annoyances all converge on one machine. Making it... Less than enjoyable to use. This is what happened to my milling machine. It has a few small issues that I’ve been putting off for one reason or another. But now the problems have escalated to the point that I just can’t take it anymore! So today I’ll be diving into what’s wrong, fixing those issues, and making a few upgrades along the way. Enjoy!

[@ensen89]

At the start of my career I did an internship at a small local machine shop. They had a mill vise that was kinda broken, but kinda still worked so they put it off and made do with it. Until I dropped the vice and broke it completely on a thursday morning. The master machinist got really angry and send me home for the weekend. When I came back in on monday morning everything was fixed and worked like it was supposed to. He wasn't even angry anymore, in fact he was kinda glad that my mistake forced him to fix this annoyance once and for all and he did not have to put up with it anymore.

[@DoubsGaming]

That's sad but nice, just because something "works" doesn't mean it shouldn't be improved. That and also maybe a personal opinion but you shouldn't get mad at people for screwing up. I can see getting mad at someone for not handling the mistake properly but just getting mad doesn't help anything.

[@xani666]

@@DoubsGaming Well, improving for sake of improving doesn't pay the bills. You need to trade off time saved thanks for thing being better vs time wasted to improve it, if that's your job.

13:57 I used literally thousands of cable tie mounts during my career (I built & maintained radio studio & transmitter facilities), but I don't think I've ever seen an adhesive mount stay stuck long term. Plan on running a countersunk fastener through those eventually, especially if they're exposed to heat. Epoxy may help replace the VHB adhesive if you have to forgo screws.

[@Jack-Fleming]

YEp, they never stuck.

[@djwmunro]

Our panels at work get hot and the sticky pads never last. I so want them to. One site I was on used the pads without the sticky tape . They used epoxy. I am going to try cutting off half of the tape and adding epoxy. That way the pad will stay in place until the epoxy sets. Thoughts?

[@ronwilken5219]

​@@djwmunroget the type that use a screw and nut. Do it once. In over fifty years of telecommunications, broadcast technician work I think I've used most types, and a Panduit mount, genuine Tywrap ties, the black ones with the metal clips, will outlast your working life. A proper tensioning/cutoff tool will guarantee the proper tension, especially on data and RF cables and the cut off ends won't tear the skin off the back of your hands next time you have to do anything inside the box. Ties trimmed with wire cutters will leave razor sharp ends that'll cut you faster than a kbar.

[@BerndZeimetz]

Indeed, they never stay where they are supposed to be. What kind of seems to work is to replace the ususally cheap adhesive tape by some expensive 3M stuff, that tape never failed on me. But for the price of the roll of that tape you could probably replace the parts once a year for the next 50 years :)

[@greghulette]

Love all the video. The wiring looks awesome. One thing to make it look and function even better would be ferrule connectors on the stranded wires going into the terminal blocks.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! Yes you are right. It didn't occur to me how inexpensive a ferrule kit was or I would have gone that route!

[@greghulette]

@@InheritanceMachining I hadn't either until I recently started to rewire my R2-D2 and realized how cheap and easy they are to use.

They are nice but not really necessary. The standards for these terminals require that they be made in such a way that they work properly with bare wire.

[@petergamache5368]

The control panel on the front of the VFD is removable! Rather than stuffing it inside the box, you can run an extension cable and place it in a more accessible spot - like a 3D printed enclosure with a magnet on the back. :)

[@InheritanceMachining]

oooo I really like that idea!

@@InheritanceMachining can you say "Side Project"? I knew you could...😉

I believe they sell longer cables on Amazon for this very reason.

[@DC_DC_DC_DC]

They also sell plastic housings to fit in panels, to hold the control panel. Definitely do that. Even though most of the "gearing" is made redundant by having access to the potentiometer, seeing the display is cool. I believe you can see amps drawn so you could even adjust feed or depth of cut to maximize the motor load

[@michaelrice500]

The very witty chief engineer at the company I once worked for didn't call them "side projects". They were referred to as "Gold-plated scope-creep auxiliary enhancements" and were expected to be included in most jobs. Necessary? Maybe, maybe not; but why take a chance!

[@Bobbias]

If there's one thing I learned when ordering cases for stuff like the VFD, it's to go one size up from whatever you think should be fine. That will save you the need to try to cram stuff in and make it work. Another thing you might want to consider is labeling your wires.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Wise advice! The thing I ran into with this one was the depth. once I jumped over 8" the other dimensions got excessivly large, as did the price.

[@seapy2398]

@@InheritanceMachining On my Ajax mill, almost identical, I used the original incoming 3 phase mains steel box to house the VFD's, I cut clearance holes in the back of the box and then spaced the box forward about an inch and a half to give frontal clearance. Literally thinking out of the box! I also cut windows in the front so I can see the VFD displays while the mill is running. Mine has a second motor in the knee for the table motions.

Thanks for being so honest and thoughtful, I hope you continue to have great success in everything you choose to do.

[@MrGedget]

Now you just have to make sure, that your power converter is set to the correct frequency (50 or 60 Hz depending on the motor). Otherwise your speeds will always be incorrect :)

[@matthewperlman3356]

I believe I have the same model and it can be programed to always start at the same frequency, yet let you change it after via the knob if needed.

[@Schnellemeyer]

Great idea with the zip tie spring compression. That segment made me laugh out loud:) Great videos - thank you!

[@bradley3549]

I think for bolting it down I could have marked the holes, moved the mill, and put in female threaded anchors in the slab. That way, if you ever need or want to move the mill you can without either cutting the bolts and/or lifting it 8 inches off the slab. Edit: I use Wej-it Power-Drop anchors for this purpose!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Not a bad idea!

[@ExtantFrodo2]

@@InheritanceMachining still, a second nut to lock the first can facilitate removing even very troublesome bolt. I don't know what that anchoring goop is, but is it possible that applying heat would loosen it up (if you wanted to remove the mill without lifting it)?

[@ichhalt3893]

@@ExtantFrodo2 sika claims that you need up to 190kN (i guessed the rod size to M16) for those things to fail(although they say the short-term temp range is only up to 80°C so maybe you could get it out with heat? So i'd say that thing stays there for now :D i think if you ever wanted to move this thing my bet would be on taking a reciprocating saw and cutting the anchors under the mill, sounds like fun :D

[@matty.bull1980]

I'm pretty sure the epoxy becomes like an threaded anchor. So if you was to lock 2 nuts together in the stud. The stud will wind out of the floor and be able to be screwed back down.

[@nf4x]

So you picked the third option for reversing the motor - make the switch lie. I would have just swapped any two motor phases. Option two would have been in the VFD parameters (probably). My issue with the lying switch is that the next guy to touch the wiring will need to figure out what the heck is going on. And I am always looking out for the next guy. Because he is usually me. :)

[@InheritanceMachining]

😂 Honestly I didn't pay much attention to the order I connected them in the switch to begin with since I knew I could just reverse them if needed. Swapping motor phases would have worked too of course

[@freddythorsteinson5584]

If he slowly replaces every broken piece of his mill with a self-machined piece, is it the same mill? What if you reassemble the old pieces into a new mill? Has he created his own brand new mill? Is the new mill his own design or the design of the original manufacturers? Does the mill create pieces for itself? Mill of Theseus brings up too many philosophical questions.

[@ADBBuild]

If you haven't seen them before, Dymo/Rhino make label makers that print onto shrink tubing so you can label your wires. Great for those of us with the O-C-D. 😊

[@uccaroo9468]

it's always lovely to see machinery get the love they deserve, to be honest my school needs to do that too. recently i was working with a lathe, nothing stressfull on the machine as we always made small parts for a little 4 cilinder engine this year but the lathe just began smoking from the engine coming out of the housing so i got a warning board and hung it up on the lathe and told my teacher so it could get looked at. schools always seem to neglect their conventional machines in comparrison to the fancy CNC ones.

[@uccaroo9468]

They're all maintained by staff at our campus i think but the cnc may also be maintained by contractors. I'm not 100% certain on that though but it would make sense

[@svjness]

Sharing this video with a coworker, I was trying to describe why the videos on this channel scratch such a particular itch for me: There is something *EXTREMELY* satisfying about his videos, which I think, is that when he discovers a need for a side project to better support his main project, he allows himself unlimited time, and resources to completely overbuild the side project, so that working on his main project is done right, and is enjoyable. It is enjoyable because it was done right. No compromises. Which is something that the real world, or the workforce, just doesn't allow for. In my mind, the main project isn't the immediate thing you are working on, but is instead a life full of all things overbuilt, and done right (or at least done in the way that you want, because you are stubborn, and getting your way feels good).

[@InheritanceMachining]

Your last statement is very true. And to some extent giving myself latitude to do the supporting things is a big part of it. I'm mostly free to do what I feel is necessary, but I'm still somewhat constrained by a video schedule. Not as bad as working for someone else, but it's still there. So as long as I can make a story out of it, I'm good. I appreciate the support, man

We used an engine jack to maneuver our 2000+ pound Grizzly mill into position. However, once we had marked the holes for the mounting points, we temporarily relocated the mill. We then drilled the holes, installed the anchors, and patiently waited until the following day to return it to its correct position and lower it into place. If there were ever a tornado in Northern Virginia, I now know a secure spot to anchor myself. This thing isn't budging!

What's funny is that you inspired me to level my wood lathe, less than a week ago, and next I see you level your mill. Nice

[@dsnineteen]

I need to applaud your self control in waiting til you had the shop vac ready before cleaning up the rubber dust. Without a doubt I would have blown/wiped it away as I pulled the machine apart, cursing myself to a far longer and more inconvenient cleaning of the entire garage later 😅

Thanks for making these amazing videos. This is now my new favourite channel on KZbin

Epoxy anchor is a BLAST! LOVE IT ! Especially when you live in a hous with old bricks! Great work mate

[@jmandab0143]

I love the tool upgrade videos. Also the little humorous skits you do for in-between.

[@kylelaw7210]

I really like seeing the shop upgrades. Keep up the good work.

[@samanthaswitch]

happy friday. look forward to hearing from your shop every week

Great.side project! You do such a great job of describing you thinking and reasoning, and it's just a joy to follow along. I also appreciate the outtakes at the end 😄

[@InheritanceMachining]

😀 I really appreciate that, man! Thanks!

I love the insight into how you develop your narrative voice and tone

When you took that little bit off the front left block and the rocking went away, dude that was so cool.

[@JohnSmith-xs4sx]

a large labeled jar of "powdered V-belt" is one of those rare elements that can take 30 years to acquire , I keep one next to a large jar of "shop cat fur ball" that is carefully harvested regularly from my laptop cad/cam machine's cooling fans ....these are a nice addition to the jar of small 2-stroke ethanol reduced powdered fuel lines and the jar of Chinese made stripped out head Allen screws and wrenches :)

I feel so silly for throwing it out now!

Dude, you’re hilarious! I enjoy how serious you are about the work without taking yourself too seriously.

[@keithviolette5870]

Another educational video, well done. The outtakes at the end were the best part. It was great hearing the laughter.

[@samuelrampersaud7873]

This js helps my soul and mind very satisfying....taking pride in your work is the most rewarding feeling ever

14:35 - Remove the paint from the box ground studs, and preferably the case around them where the ring terminals should rest. It won't burst into flames if you don't, but there's no good reason to risk paint degrading your ground connections.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Good call!

[@c4t4l4n4]

I love watching folks take care of their tools and machines. 😀

[@Diogenes2077]

It's hard to find something more satisfying than improving a tool.

[@jdmccorful]

Great install! Thanks.

[@edsmachine93]

Very awesome upgrades. Almost like a New Machine now. Definitely a game changer. 👍 Thanks for sharing the process.

[@tankertont]

Gotta say, I love the very very end. And honestly the whole bit made me laugh harder than I would’ve thought, but I love the bloops

[@sallyweiner4180]

Love watching your process!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks 😊

Love your content and watching you grow as a machinist. I am also "self taught" going on 11 years now. I'm glad you went back and leveled the machine even though you said it wasn't important. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. The oil will run to the low side of the machine and will also cause uneven wear on the ways. Especially important to have the surface grinder level. Also with regards to anchoring the mill to the ground I've seen arguments for and against it. It'll make your machine more rigid but if there ever was an earthquake (however unlikely) it could destroy the base casting/floor. I just have mine on leveling feet because I've changed the shop layout too many times when I acquire new equipment. Just some thoughts I had, keep up the great content and growing as a machinist! Cheers

[@cowdogg3085]

Oh wow! Those upgrades really made a huge difference!! Oh yeah, your wife sounded like she enjoyed every second of "helping" you. 🤣🤣

[@iliyakaz9420]

Ahh! Been waiting for this video! This is so stratifying!

[@peterglas2725]

I love the engineering, camera work and especially the soothing voice. You got yourself a new sub!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you so much! Welcome!

When I was a machine shop teacher in a vocational highschool, the administration wouldn't get me a fork truck to move (10) Trak K3 knee mills... 2800 pounds a piece. I brought two five foot pinch bars from home and jacked them up on progressively thicker stacks of 1" planks. then put a pallet jack under them. The toe jack would have worked, but you definitely picked the safer route. Dropping the knee all the way, the quill, and moving the ram to help the center of gravity make a huge difference. Awesome results! That old Enco will serve you better no doubt. P.S. the misses is having too much fun throwing boxes at you!

[@NorfTec]

Wow i discovered you way too late, and since finding your channel I’ve binge watched more than id care to admit, i done machining as part of my engineering course and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately I’ve not had the opportunity to use a lathe or mill since but your videos definitely scratch that itch, incredible work
