Making the KING of All Knurling Tools (Finale) || INHERITANCE MACHINING

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks for watching everyone! Stay tuned for the next project on Friday, February 3rd. And no... it's not a larger Box of Shame! At least I don't think it is...

[@clydebalcom3679]

I like to think of the box as The Box Of Learning.

[@alexkarsten15]

We'd all like to think it's not a larger box of shame!.. or learning as I now like from clydebalcom3679. Keen as a bean for it regardless of what it is, thanks!

[@joselrodriguez5999]

The box looks deeper :) but still no match to my bin of shame

[@doingstufforatleasttrying4843]

I consider it a box of spare parts, You are going to make mistakes, it’s how you handle the mistakes. We all will fall, it’s how you get back up that makes a difference. Thanks for showing everything and admitting that you are human. I look forward to watching more videos. A plus in my book. Amazing job. Keep up the great work….

[@AnthonyBowman]

Here's you turn that frown upside down by changing your perspective: DO make the BoS significantly larger. Almost comically so! As you learn and progress further in your already incredibly skilled craftsmanship, the size of the box should grow too, as a reminder to stay humble and check your assumptions. Then, even if you have a steady contribution to it, the sum total of those contributions still looks relatively small compared to the box itself. That mirrors the relationship of the value of learning you get from the mistakes compared to the relatively minor and small size of the scraps of metal mistakes in a corner of the box. Maybe a bit philosophical, but that sort of vibe feels somehow right with how your channel and content comes across, which I love so much.

[@CuttingEdgeEngineering]

Very nicely done mate! Your attention to details is next level and always striving for precision and perfection. Not sure what it says that our spare time is spent watching other machinists machining 🤣 Cheers, Kurtis 👍

[@InheritanceMachining]

Oh so you're just like the rest of us then! 😂 Once a machinist, always a machinist. I really appreciate it, man!

[@rodrigotomita6473]

It would be very nice to see Kurtis doing a monster knurling tool to knurl the cilinders of heavy machinery. Just for fun 🤣

[@cryoine7194]

funny enough i was just watching your new lathe tool post video and couldn't help but think what would inheritance machining think about it

[@nyssfairchild2244]

Often the best way to become a better writer is to read. The principle absolutely applies to machining and other skills.

[@dathaniel9403]

It’s amazing how this channel came out of nowhere and was instantly popular because of how high quality the content is.

[@wolfiemuse]

Agreed. It was a immediate slam dunk.

[@joshclark44]

I'm glad you showed the proper way of knurling by calculating the right diameter first. I actually haven't seen that yet in other machining videos but knowing how gears worked I figured some math is involved to get the perfect knurl and have the lines match up instead of just mashing it in till it looks half decent. This is much better and you don't get all the near misses between the lines like if you mashed it

[@InheritanceMachining]

That used to be my method and I always had to do "test" knurls on areas I would eventually turn away. The calculator I used is great and so far on a few parts had been spot on.

[@chrisstephens6673]

Someone did a test once and it made no difference whether you calculated a precise diameter or not. It is a swaging process not a cutting one like a gear. If you have a cutting knurl, yes they exist, then a precise diameter is required.

[@theroundtomato]

yea as a machinist I have only probably had to knurl parts for a few dozen jobs but usually we just go for it and hope it comes out well since knurled features aren't usually critical and as long as its not very corse knurling it usually works out, sometimes needing a little adjustment in diameter. I didn't know a calculator existed online for knurling but ill definitely try it next time and probably use it from now on. super cool.

[@wolfiemuse]

@@InheritanceMachining this is also my method up until recently but I hadn’t found a good calculator I liked on the internet. Glad you make the videos you do, man. I know I’ve said it to you several times already about knurling, but it bears repeating: they always look great

[@snifflesfpv7321]

People have knurled tapers before, so diameter isn’t as important as one might think, but it is more intuitive and probably gets more consistent results to calculate the exact diameter needed.

[@JGV_IX]

I don't have a metal lathe, nor much machinery at all actually...BUT I want this!! I'd put this on my coffee table, have it in the kitchen when I cook, casually leave it on my car's dashboard - all so that people can gawk at it 😱 Really well done!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you 🙏

[@TGC32]

You're quickly becoming one of favorite manual machining channels. I like that you show the entire process including the mistakes. One critique I do have here though is I feel that A LOT of the mistakes you make are minor. Minor in the fact that they are completely avoidable in most cases. While I was doing my tool making apprenticeship I had a very large fixture that needed to be machined much of it manually. I spent 3 or 4 full shifts working on what I thought was a masterpiece. I was so proud of it as it was a very complicated fixture with a lot going on. After I was finished I put the customers part in it to verify everything was in the proper location and it was going to work. Well everything fit but I noticed some major features slightly off. I couldn't for the life of me figure it out. I told my boss and said "hey Its all finished but something doesn't seem right. Is the customers part out of spec?" We checked it and it wasn't. What I failed to realize was the datum for the drawing and dimensions worked off a centerline and not a corner. What did I learn that day? ALWAYS READ THE DRAWING FIRST. Over and Over. Now I have a dedicated cart where my drawings sit and before I ever even take a first cut I verify my first datum or location point. ALWAYS READ THE DRAWING FIRST!

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

ahh, the CoS, Cart of Shame 🙂

I can't help but feel that's partly my fault- I bugged Kurt machine tools, got a hold of their HR department, and convinced them to send TOT a HQ Kurt vise. He declined it in the comments when I mentioned it, and that was the last video he put up for a while I believe

[@mashrien]

Addendum; he declined it because he was worried about impartiality and his viewers thinking poorly of him for it. Which several other commenters and myself all impressed upon him that would never be the case.

[@MatthewMenze]

Any thought to making your own knurling patterns? I've always felt that the variations of knurling patterns are a bit under explored. For example, a single angled wheel and a smooth wheel could make a rather visually appealing spiral knurl...Which I have accidentally achieved before with improper setup causing uneven wheel pressure.

[@InheritanceMachining]

That's an interesting thought. I've seen variable angle cut knurlers that will sort of let you change the angle of attack giving different results.

It's so good to see knurling done right. I've seen too many "good enough" videos where the grooves overlap and it looks a mess. You understand that the final diameter must be a multiple of the groove spacing to work. So many others seem to ignore that.

He has the ability to completely rehearse a machining operation in his head - he will sit and think for quite a while before starting a lathe or a mill. But, more often than not, he'll get the job done quicker than I will, because I do make mistakes and have to make a part or 2 again.

[@Clough42]

I feel your pain. :) It's a nice tool in the end, though. When I attempted to knurl the cap, the arms would not clear the shoulder. I wonder if hitting the shoulder is what caused yours to go awry. I can't see any mistakes in my dimensions, and it seems impossible to knurl up to the shoulder as shown in the drawings.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! Yeah I had that issue as well. There wasn't even a dimension given for the width of that non-knurled area. I ended up just going as far as I could without the arms rubbing the shoulder and clearing the rest. Visually looks a bit less than the drawing but works fine all the same.

At the start of this week, I started a technical dridging course that teaches the basics of draughting. The course is only a week long, but it is needed for a Multi Disciplinary draughting course. I have a new appreciation for you and how you design on paper instead of CAD. It is much more rewarding on paper. I completed the first part of my final assignment, which was drawing an M30 bolt and nut assembly at 2:1 scale. A few of the things i used to do it i picked up from watching you.

[@markbrown9765]

That 90 degree miss for the B.O.S. brought back some memories. One; my first lathe/mill were Sherline. Because they are so small you can only take very small cuts when working steel. I had at least 20 hours into an intricate part and the final procedure was to put a groove 90 degrees out on one side for location when assembled. And, yup, I forgot to turn it 90 degrees and had to scrap the piece. That "part" had a permanent place on my desk at work for the remainder of my working career as a reminder of the cost of simple lapses of attention. Really enjoying your channel. BTW, have to say; You regularly, and jokingly I assume, dog on your skill set. But you throw around excellent press fits and tolerances in the 10th's like they are a simple accomplishments that anyone can easily and repeatedly attain. Your work is very high quality and demonstrates a high skill level, even with the B.O.S. submissions.

Oh no... I've fortunately not scrapped a part that far in yet. And yeah I'll say yet because it's bound to happen. 😂 Thanks so much for the kind words. I do try to do my best. Even if the emery paper needs to get me the rest of the way there 😉

[@DavidLindes]

16:24 - thank you for actually digging in to the question of dealing with this diameter. I've seen various folks mention it as a thing, but you're the first person I've seen actually do math on it. And many don't even mention it as an issue --- I guess either they just got lucky, or more slop is possible than one would think, or... something? But it's neat to have someone actually go through doing it the "right way", even if some "wrong ways" are, in practice, workable. I look forward to the day I can experiment with all this myself, and gain a deeper understanding. :) (I imagine doing the machinist's equivalent of a photographer's "test strip" -- a shaft with various diameters, separated by tenths or a thou or two, and seeing what happens on each.)

[@InheritanceMachining]

Yeah it seems to be a point of contention with a lot of people. I've had mixed results just going with whatever diameter in the past. But that was with a bump knurler. Ive since only used that calculator and have yet to have a failed knurl. Interestingly though, someone mentioned theres a video where a guy knurls a tapered shaft and it manages to work out somehow along the length. That would be a fun test to do.

I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you!

[@snake525]

@@InheritanceMachining take the appreciation you have for my praise and give it to yourself - that’s the best way to thank me :-)

[@mr.coolaid1004]

Your youtube videos are the perfect thing to fall asleep to such great calming videos

[@coxyofnewp]

Pure pleasure to watch and yes I too would be knurling everything with that gorgeous looking tool !!

[@twelveicat]

Phenomenal and satisfying work. I love learning about how to account for the effects of the main operation in any sort of application. Like the diameter of the work piece increasing as you're knurling it. Thanks for making these great videos.

[@ConnorSirbaugh]

as always inheritance machining makes the final project classy and tasteful. beautiful craftsmanship as always!

[@InheritanceMachining]

thank you 🙏

[@wrenchg3954]

wow. the end product is so beautiful. and the tool itself is incredibly elegant. the tool is almost as beautiful as the finish knurl. great freaking job. you just got a new sub. first impressions, your are a wealth of knowledge. im going to learn alot from this channel. thank you

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you so much! Welcome!

[@Kami8705]

Very nicely done. Have you considered replacing the block that goes in a tool holder with a full tool holder attachment? Make it a larger block, cut the dovetails, and it has its own tool holder to save you having to use one of the other ones you made?

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! Yeah I'm thinking of an upgrade like that actually. I might hold out until I need to make some other holders I have in mind so I can cut all the dovetails at once.

[@broglet2003]

It is good to see it is not just me that has a Box of Shame. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks

Your Grandad would be proud. Bet he smiles every time you enter your shop.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you 🙏

[@jean3xyz]

This is very good professional work! I find it admirable that there are still people who take the time to do the job perfectly and you are one of those rare people. A big thank you for sharing your perfectionism with us!

[@InheritanceMachining]

That is very nice of you to say. Thank you so much!

[@AlanShortySwanson]

This channel is just the best. Thank you for sharing your journey - including the mistakes! - with us.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Absolutely my pleasure. Thank you!

[@Icedragon481]

I recently bought a couple sets of dumbells that have knurled portions on them and its plain to see that the manufacturing company does not have a tool to make them as consistent as this one is capable of! I'm sure in the grand scheme of things that no one really cares that much about perfectly replicated knurling on a weight, but its interesting to see how your videos made me notice that detail on an item I use frequently. Can't wait to see more chamfers next video!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Yeah it surprising how barbells/dumbells never have very nice knurling. Might have to upgrade my own set 😁 Thanks!

[@myradavis2599]

Absolutely fantastic workmanship. Your willingness to share mistakes, is a great benefit to all the new hobbyists. I am looking forward to repeating many of these errors, and filling my own B.O.S. , (tho' mine is already a large crate🙄). I also appreciate that you allow practicality to influence your builds and decisions.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Hopefully many of the errors you don't repeat having seen me make them 😂 Thanks!

[@Sknwlker]

I'm living for the moment that you upload a video and when I finish it I can't wait for another one. Great job sir !

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 Thank you so much!

[@JayRussellDuramax]

My OCD and I appreciate the fact that you took the time to adjust nearly all of the dimensions in order to have a nice finish on all the faces. Haha! In all seriousness, the finished results are incredible, and I'm sure you'll find many, many ways to put it to use on future projects. I'm looking forward to what's coming next! Great work, Brandon.

[@InheritanceMachining]

No way was I going to run with the mill scale! Thanks as always, Jay!

[@jerrodsimmons8356]

Wow, what an awesome tool! It’s so satisfying watching all the parts come together. Great job!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you!

[@nickdubois8218]

Your videos are flat out excellent. Really enjoy the calm voice over with detailed explanations. The videography and editing are also top-notch. I also really like that your building tools with your tools and equipment. Just adding to the arsenal constantly. Great way to improve your capabilities and keep the audience captivated. Hats off to you sir

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you so much!

[@ShainAndrews]

9:55 Literally chuckled out loud. You can ask anybody... that is a feat few accomplish with me.

[@brycejeannotte7699]

That was a lot of "learning" in a single project. The results are amazing.

[@InheritanceMachining]

For real. Thank you!

[@sailingeric]

There something magical in watching a piece of metal being knurled.

[@JaakkoF]

17:46 there's actually a cautionary sign on your top slide to secure the tools, just as if to mock :D

[@larrylund2682]

We made a lot of tools in trade school. I really wish we made this knurling tool. Never ever saw one like it. Thanks for the video.

[@InheritanceMachining]

It really works great! Thank you!

[@chronovaengineering]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I wouldn't worry at all about leaving in the centre-drilled end: it's standard practice to leave it anyway!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks and yeah I suppose from a manufacturing standpoint thats true. I think I've even seen examples of that before

[@jamesknight5896]

It's a joy to watch your work, keep the videos coming. Also your technical drawing are fantastic, worthy of framing and hanging on a wall 👍

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you!
