Making a PRECISION Machinist Jack || INHERITANCE MACHINING

Thank you! You do amazing work and I really like the way you dealt with the coarse thread layout. Sorry that the grinder bit you and itself and the part. We all like to think, what a silly mistake, one I'd never make, but then I remember that I'm human and, like all humans, I excel at one thing - screwups. I have a long and tarnished history of screwing things up so, no, I have no room to criticize anyone else for just doing that which ALL humans do so well - oops, again :( Anyway, I think you've done a fantastic job of designing and making what is finally a useful machinist's jack! Bravo! :)

Hello Brandon I recently sold my machineshop due to health,that has taken a love of mine away leaving a huge loss to me mentally and physically. coming across your channel has inspired me to get my lathe and mill out of storage and at least get out in the shed and do what i have done all my working life.

[@AJMansfield1]

You can make a gauge to allow you to test the fit of an internal multi-start thread one course at a time. You do this by making the external thread like normal, but then take additional cuts at other offsets to shave off all but one of the thread's starts. That'll allow you to use it to gauge the size of each course of an internal thread independently, as the gauge will fit with a correctly-cut course even if the other two courses are not yet to full depth, where using the full thread only tells you when _all three_ courses are at least the full depth (leaving you guessing as to which one is still too small).

[@thanos_vgenis]

Hey there, for cutting multistart threads it's preferable to index by either rotating one of the changewheels or just removing the chuck and rotating it as needed (2 out if 6 camlocks slugs for a 3-start). You can feed in at an angle then... (If you have to use the topslide, use a dial indicator!) Also, I'd never rely on any kind of concentricity when using a drill and tap! Enjoy

[@InheritanceMachining]

Oh that's pretty clever actually. I'll remember that for next time. Also you are definitely right on the tap. I suppose I could have ground a little HSS cutting tool and guaranteed concentricity. Thanks!

I have been following this channel since your first video appeared only 9 months ago. The honesty, quality and commitment to follow through with what your grandfather left you shines out. I suspect it has been set up and planned for somewhat longer than that though. It's those qualities that have lead to almost 90K subscribers in that short time; for a machining channel. This episode has really flicked a button for me as I was thinking about how I might make some machinist jacks, but with left and right handed threads of different pitches to get the adjustments right. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks Bill. The plan for this channel is only a couple months older than the first upload, but I've had a lot of support from my wife who does this for a living. On your jacks, you might check out Adam the Machinist's video on differential threads. No need for left+right hand threads. I only recently learned of it and it very clever and simple

[@billdoodson4232]

@@InheritanceMachining Yes, I'm thinking that 18 and 24mm would give a 0.5mm differential on the threads, which while not a small differential might just be enough.

Mate, I love the channel, especially the manual drafting. Being a career draftsman starting on the board and table and eventually transitioning to CAD in college, I can say I love the more tactile feel of manual drafting and your drawings are mint! I have a suggestion for you to try within the mechanics of your technique, the knurling on the barrel of your lead clutch is to allow you to rotate the barrel as you strike a line, this rotation will help maintain a point on your lead longer and prevent flat spots from developing. Try it out and let me know what you think. Keep up the fantastic work, and remember if it's worth doing it's worth overdoing.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Absolutely. Im thinking a v-block and ball tip anvils would be good followups to this projects.

[@mrimmortal1579]

A V-block anvil will eliminate your ability to use the fine pitch threads, unless you make the V-block section in such a way that it rotates freely on top of the anvil. One way to do this would be to drill a small hole in the center of your existing anvil, and make a separate V-block attachment with a centered pin on its underside.

Next time, use an indicator to get more accuracy on the adjustment of the lead for the multistart thread. Handwheel measurements are great, but it only takes a few seconds to set up the indicator and get it spot on.

[@joshuawills5242]

And for anyone having trouble visualizing it - Blondihacks' Quinn uses the technique often. In this case, you'd mount the indicator to the cross slide, move the entire carriage in X (with the feedscrew still engaged so you don't lose clocking) until the indicator reads something useful, then drive just the cross slide the distance you need to offset the new cut.

As a retired machinist I love watching this channel. A true craftsman at work. I built a similar set of 4 jacks about 40 yrs ago for use on a large boring mill. Used 1” X 8 on the sleeve and 5/8” X 10 on the anvil. Turn the sleeve and get .125 per turn. Use the anvil and get .100 per turn. Turn the sleeve and hold the anvil and get .025 per turn. No special taps required. I read an old Mechanics illustrated article about a house jack that used the same principle.

Love you guys machinists and blacksmiths of KZbin, you are my favorite genres

[@larrybrown6845]

I am not a machinist but my dad was and now that I'm older and settled down things like this catch my attention and I do alot of self teaching with research and watching people like you and the stuff that you and some others do make me want to learn what seems to be a disappearing art with cnc machines taking over. So a big thanks and my hat off to you cause you make it interesting and make it look like something someone would want to learn.

[@InheritanceMachining]

My pleasure. Thank you

I have said this before. So many videos give the impression that everything comes out perfect & mistake free. We rookies at home then get frustrated by all the problems that are not shown on the video. The mistake shown at the end of this video is more important that the build video itself in my book. It's keeps viewers at home from getting discouraged when things go south when they see it happens to the best of them. Well done.

Thank you very much and thank you for the encouragement

[@jeremycoleman318]

Sir, you speak with such knowledge yet ease that I feel like you have more degrees than a thermometer and I’m a preschooler nodding my head along the entire time mesmerized

[@superdude3112]

after seeing the bolt action pen video, in the past 18 hours, I've watched literally all of your other videos, and they are phenomenal. Keep up the great work

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 Thank you so much!

[@brandonbarker7817]

I'm just a mechanic but I love watching your videos. Well done brother.

[@josephalexander3884]

Your videos are so important to me. I am disabled, but your peacefulness is so inspiring that it is important to me: Thank You for your effort. Peace be with you.

[@InheritanceMachining]

My pleasure. Thanks!

[@jimlaxdal9023]

You have got to be the best problem solver I’ve ever seen as a machinist 👍

[@donovanlucibello379]

Not only is that a fabulous idea that you and Art came up with, and the part itself is beautiful. But the fact that you took the extraordinary amount of time to film this and show everything that you did to such a level of detail is an absolute gift.

[@InheritanceMachining]

My pleasure! Thank you

[@tomahawkjo8574]

I don't understand hardly any of of the process but it is so much fun to watch!

[@xan1613]

Making the mother of all precision machinists here Jack, can't fret over every egg.

I have no interest in this videos topic. Title just made me think about this quote kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-wq4egadR3j8k

[@JGV_IX]

Your work is redefining the concept of “high degree of precision and accuracy” - astounding work!!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you!

[@matthewroszkowski4674]

you are a lucky man to have had a great grandfather, and even luckier to carry on his love of machining

[@stevencowan1788]

I dont personally have access to all machines you have , but as an engineer myself I am totally in awe of your channel and what you do , ❤from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@adamstuart8033]

One of my favourite videos so far, it just looks so satisfying to use.

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 It makes quite an awesome fidget toy

[@robhassett8119]

Time to rework the surface grinder. Great channel. Thanks for the time and effort you put into it.

[@InheritanceMachining]

My pleasure. Thanks for the support!

[@T1nCh0]

Not only precision, but also good taste and very nice aesthetic. You sir are winning at this.

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 Thank you kindly!

[@WatchmakerErik]

What an amazing jack! Congrats to you and Art on the design and you on the production. I love seeing people not just replicating but iterating and improving designs 👍

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks Erik!

[@alexandreleblanc9582]

the hand drawing of the piece is what kept me watching, awesome

[@transmitterguy478]

There is nothing better than a knarley knerling video! Thats a fine piece of work!

[@nakleh]

I’m not a machinist, but stumbled upon your channel a couple of days ago, and am finding these videos fascinating. Thanks for making them, you’ve got a new fan here.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks a lot man. Welcome!

[@mikepelelo5657]

Glad to see you got your steel hatching right on your drawing.😎 Good job and thanks for the ride along!

[@InheritanceMachining]

You caught that huh? 😉 Thanks!

[@mikepelelo5657]

@@InheritanceMachining Just messin' with you; don't take me seriously. Actually, that's a really good drawing with nice detailing. I started my drafting career on a board and I still appreciate a sharp hand drawing. Keep up the good work and thanks!

[@DoorknobHead]

Very nice video. What a joy to watch someone use a drafting board! Reminds me how magical I thought drafting tables were almost 40 years ago when I took a drafting class in high-school.

[@ucanhtranvu1554]

Honestly you taught me a lot more than my practical teacher did in Uni. I wished you made your channel in 2016 when I really needed it.

[@joshuarikard3106]

I remember when I was first starting out in machining and was finally trusted enough to run a surface grinder. THE NOISE THE DIAMOND DRESSER MADE WHEN IT HIT THE SIDE WALL IS A SOUND I WILL NEVER FORGET!

[@InheritanceMachining]

I'll be hanging my busted wheel on the wall next to the grinder as a sign to never forget 🤦‍♂️
