Kearny & Trecker Parking Attachment Part 1

[@moomastico]

I love no nonsense machining like this. Nice to have a shop set up that you can do projects in your own time and on your own terms.

[@Abom79]

You got that right!

[@dillydallydollcomachineand8246]

Working in your own shop I like it . This is why we do it . Crazy how the day job comes home when you enjoy it . My Best , Tighe

[@joeziegler9054]

Make a key Adam that is 3/16 on one side and 1/4 on the other side. Then you can use that cutter on this machine. Great videos! I enjoy your channel so much. I learn something on every video. I've been machining about 25 years now and I learned the old school way. no DRO's and lots of backlash! Keep the vidoes coming Adam.

[@bcbloc02]

I have always loved all the different form cutters available for horizontals. To think there used to be guys that did nothing all day but sharpen and make those special cutters, now it is like a lost art.

[@Abom79]

+bcbloc02 Yep, and I still love using them.

[@JRD77VET]

As a machinist / fabricator myself for the past 35 plus years, you're starting out very well and in the right direction. I have a feeling this will be a very informative video series and I look forward to seeing any well done finished product. Jeff

[@jasonmpd2946]

Awesome to see a fellow Floridian doing damn fine trade skill work. It's a diminishing art. If you ever find the opportunity in your career to start a youth trade skill summer camp or class, I'd hope you jump atv the chance. You could certainly teach teach lot of young minds some fine life skills about not just hard work, but the knowledge and intelligence actually required to fabricate parts big and small.

[@mats852]

Haven't started the video yet but I'm already happy to see your shop again !

[@InverJaze]

Thanks Adam you make a difference in my life. I enjoy your shows. That Morse taper 6 reamer is awesome. It is sad that some people steal, they don't realise that if you steal then someone else will steal from you too. I prefer to help others and pass it forward, so that when I need help there will be someone who is willing to help. Stealing only in the end steals from the origional theif.

[@Abom79]

+Jane Calder I hate a thief, steeling from a working man is just wrong.

[@davidheap5338]

Hi Adam, I'm new to your channel, you really do explain things well and make all your videos interesting, My Dad used to be an engineer back in the 60s 70s and early 80s making Ball joints, finishing water pumps and break discs among other things for the Automotive sector in the UK, mainly on Capstan Lathes with the multi bit attachment, I would have loved to been a machinist, when we used to visit him at the machine shop as kids all you could smell was that hot oil smell and the noise of the machines was tremendous it was great. There was this old guy that worked on his own in a little room called "The Tool Room" his job was to make sure all the machines had sharp bits and god help you if you entered his tool room without his permission, real old school type of machining on old lathes dating back to the 60s, sadly the small family run firm closed back in the 90s and its all gone now. Anyway keep up the good work you remind me so much of the guys that used to work with my Dad...very meticulous with their work.

[@Abom79]

Thank you for sharing your story, It painted a nice picture in my mind. 👍

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

I like that your building it your self Adam , And not just farming it out to be cast up ! Thumbs up man ..

[@Abom79]

More fun to build it all in house with shop materials. 👍

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Yes sir , And Shop tools .. And we get to watch !!

[@MichaelMcGill_emtwo]

Was out with my wife and daughter grocery shopping, when my watched dinged, and alerted me that "Abom79 uplaoded a video". Couldn't get home fast enough. Looking forward to this series; sure it might be quicker to just go out and find and attachment and buy it, but where is the fun in that? Now building it...that's the ticket...and we your fans benefit too!

[@Abom79]

+Michael McGill That's funny Mike! Did you tell your wife "time to go check out!" LOL Yes lets use the machines and build something when we can.

[@MichaelMcGill_emtwo]

I know when I'm beat Adam; with the wife and daughter shopping, i'm along for grunt labor, to push a cart. I was patient enough (barely) to wait till I got home!

[@richkellow1535]

Hi Adam, thanks for putting up such a great project, there are so many facets to this that there will be something there to interest everybody, please keep the videos coming and I have no complaints at all with the video quality. As usual, 10/10.

[@cozmium]

Dream is a great word for drill and ream!

[@aparfeno]

Wow! It is a great video, but it makes me appreciate the ease and versatily of woodworking. Working with metal, It is a LOT of work and equipment to do a seemingly easy task... I guess to each their own

[@MrMarcaap]

Hey Adam, I'm really looking forward to this series! It should be a great build. I'm so glad you're taking us along for the ride. Thanks again.

[@MrNoysip]

It’s amazing to se the change to you and the shop. You have come so far. Love it!

[@colinhughes6483]

+Colin Hughes I've been watching your videos for well over a year now. They are not only enjoyable, but educational, informative and entertaining besides which you are an A++ machinist. Wincheaster, Hampshire, England.

[@Abom79]

+Colin Hughes Thanks Colin!

[@JeffreyVastine]

Hey Adam, I agree that fabrication is the best way to go for this project. However, if you were set up with a small foundry for the shop and had the capability to cast iron then that would be the way to. What counts is that you do it yourself for that will produce the greatest reward and sense of accomp[lishment. I appreciate you sharing your journey with us. Doing so brings inspiration to the youth that have an interest in machining who participate in my youth outreach as we prepare to build our machine shop Gingery style. Thank you for taking the time to produce and share these videos!

[@Abom79]

Thank you Jeff!

[@erikdevaney4781]

SO WHAT IS A GOOD WAY IF NE TO TELL WHAT UR "MYSTERY METAL" IS OR COULD BE???

[@JeffreyVastine]

Tom Lipton would probably be an excellent candidate to address this question. This would be a great topic for someone in the Machining KZbin community to cover. I do not know a lot in this area , but what I do know is that the test depends upon the type of metal.i.e. steel, aluminum, etc. For steels a spark test with a grinder can hep to determine the carbon content which can ait in identifying the alloy.A mild acid such as white vinegar can be used to determine if an aluminum alloy contains magnesium.

[@ColdCoffee122]

When the camera fell over I couldn't help think about how John Mills would have reacted. You were very restraint. Thanks for the videos.

[@Jacob-64]

Still on #lockdown in the Scottish Highlands . Second time watching this series ,every bit as good second time around Adam 😊🤘

[@terrylarotonda784]

Looking good Adam, it will be a great series. Thanks

[@stevenclark541]

I've been watching your channel for 2 years now.Yourself and oxtoolco. I just want to say i am so grateful for you guys giving us your knowledge so freely it is because of your content that i have been able to keep up at my job with the Intense demands placed on us. I have been able to learn in 2 years what has taken yourself and guys like kiethRucker Years and Years to learn. I hear all the time how surprised the engineers and management are with my speed at getting a wide range of different parts done with just a good ol' engine lathe from the 50's and a 100 ton press. I've been able to thrive at my actual Job and earn more money and have clout in my position 90% because of the knowledge you have shared so thank you! Thank you so much.

[@63256325N]

Gonna be a nice build. Am looking forward to watching. Thanks a Adam.

[@Ujeb08]

Quite an ambitious build Adam! Lookin forward to the series.

[@gordonsmith8400]

Hi Adam, so glad you have gone down the fabrication way going to be an awesome project. Abom job for sure

[@esoomreltna]

Adam, I think the large green clamps are boiler maker clamps for forming boiler plates prior to riveting/welding. VERY cool project you are doing looking forward to seeing all your clever set ups! Regards, Eric

[@raincoast2396]

Thank you Adam. Wishing everything well in your world. Cheers.

[@arnljotseem8794]

Looking forward to the other parts of this series, although probably not as big as the welding table, it looks like a very interesting project. I learn so much from these build projects of yours, and hopefully this is something that will come in use soon as I am just about to buy a new (to me) mill with both vertical and horizontal. It is a Swiss machine. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but "dreaming" is a good short word for drilling and reaming ;-) Thanks Adam.

[@xxxstatikxxx9637]

Hey Abom I really appreciate your videos man. My college professor has left a bad taste in my mouth as far as being a machinist. Because he doesn't know what he is doing. Ex. He gave me a 1/2 HSS end mill to plug cut a counterbore on a pair of HARDENED bench vise jaws. True story. I appreciate you showing how things should be done. He doesn't give crap about what he teaches which is said. He only there for the money. All of teaching if done online a rarely talks about stuff in class. He fumbles around the shop. But, anyways that's my rant. Thanks again. Btw that 6" Face mill you got from your friend. Very nice👌🏼

[@RandallMoore1955]

Hi Adam, This will be a pleasure to watch i'am sure of it.

[@wupme]

Yes, finally :) I waited for this one. I got no real clue about machining, but i still learn so much in your videos. Even stuff i can apply to my woodworking :)

[@hawaii3100]

May 4 2022. about to watch this build for the 3rd time. 70yrs old never used ANY of these tools, just like to watch some one who is a master at their trade.

[@oaxelo1]

Really cool project there!! I think i'm going to enjoy it just as much as the welding table (Really liked that one). Thanks again for sharing these projects.

[@mrbluenun]

Hi Adam, Cant thank you enough for planning on putting together this ‘jig-saw’ type project, where you show you are able to cut weld and build the half dozen or more bit that go towards making the whole support. It goes to show others who have put off doing something perhaps because they do not have the correct steel it IS possible, just needs a little thinking ‘out of the box.’ I really love these types of projects where you have a ‘Bible’ piece to work from so we can all have some idea of what comes next, thank you. Take care mrbluenun

[@Abom79]

+mrbluenun You have to think like that sometimes, and use materials you find and make them work. Some of this material is left overs from our old shop days and otherwise will just set for a project one day.

[@deej19142]

two minutes into the video and I'm hooked!

[@EliteHydronics.]

I can see this project ending up like tom's baby bullet build ! great stuff Adam 👍🏻

[@Abom79]

+Dave442 cc Doubt I will match Tom's quality, but it looks like it'll be a little heavier. LOL

[@andrewterry8092]

This is a very cool job, thanks Adam!

[@travnturner]

that is one awesome squeek machine you got there.....love the band saw

[@dannymaciejewski]

Awesome Adam! This will be cool to watch.

[@ChrisUhlik]

Ohh, I can't wait. This looks like a really interesting project. Looking forward to some more great videos.

[@andrewterry8092]

I would never think you could reproduce that cast piece putting these different pieces together, can't wait to see how it's done.

[@Abom79]

+Andrew Terry It'll all come together at the end.

[@billdlv]

Adam this should make a good project, looking forward to the next installment. Glad to see the DoAll back in action, looks like it's got a fresh blade in it and cutting well. I think some forget the 1-2% shrinkage with cast iron, so if you used the original as pattern, the copy would be smaller...

[@Barefoot3us]

Hi Adam, Getting caught up watching your SNS. I've be away for 3+ weeks in the hospital, but I'm on the mend and feeling better. I've missed your smiling face and your terrific videos. I'm happy you're fabing the Parting Attachment because it means more when it comes from your own hands and you have said you enjoy doing this kind of work in you're shop. Hey after all that's what having your own shop is really all about. OK, I almost missed it and if I'm right in what I'm seeing the new #4 Hero camera is in use a little and a beautiful picture, but then you said something is not right Thanks for the video it's so professional, Jeff P.S. I must say those are some big ass clamps, but they do their job. Abom size!

[@RyanWeishalla]

Looks like this is going to be a fun project to follow along with.

[@travisshrewsbury7169]

this is a kick ass project, I can't wait to see the outcome, I bet that thing weighs 100 pounds when you're done

[@glennmiller9031]

Looking forward to this build. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@ScottandTera]

looking good another great Saturday night with the family and sns

[@davidrahn9903]

This is gonna be an awesome project.

[@jasonburns1407]

Great start mate luv the still pics at the end nice:)

[@iancraig1951]

Adam I was having a look at around 8-10 and I noticed 2 chairs--the chairs work pretty hard in my workshop in fact they work the hardest ....I' ve noticed a fellar can do some powerful good thinking sitting in a comfy chair..Very useful acquisition a chair or 2..

[@Abom79]

+Ian Craig Gotta have the shop chairs for the bench talks

[@CompEdgeX2013]

Great start Adam. Gonna take a few episodes for this project. :-)

[@Abom79]

Yessir, hopefully no one minds. 👍

[@TechGorilla1987]

+Abom79 The only thing we are going to mind is the wait between videos! Thanks Adam!

[@swarfrat311]

Adam, This is going to be a super series! As others have mentioned, your word for drill and ream, dream, is a classic! I wonder if the word will show up in the next edition of The Machinist Handbook? :-) Sorry about the hassles with your Go Pro. I would think that if they make it, they repair it. I think they are trying to get another camera sale. That's the way it is when we live in a "throw away" society. Thanks for sharing your work! Have a good one! Dave

[@Abom79]

+Swarf Rat Next we need to dream a hole in this plate.....Funny!

[@ericcorse]

You and everyone else is looking forward to this project

[@marctennill8367]

Great job Adam, I misted the "ABOM torque man" on the K&T set up. I always have to chuckle when he pops up. I appreciate your videos they inspire me to my own ABOM projects (only in 1/10th scale).LOL

[@barrybeggs8543]

WE called those light green C-clamps beam clamps.Used them ,as a pick point for big chain falls & come alongs,inthe power plant.

[@breadbaconcheese]

[@billmielke7395]

Awesome project, I think I heard the shaper wanting to help from the corner...

[@Abom79]

+Bill Mielke It may get a piece of the action Bill

[@billmielke7395]

+Abom79 glad to hear it

[@GarnettM]

This project will be a good one .

[@611Renegade]

Just a thought, magnetize your spacer blocks so you don't have them falling away from your work. When an actual steel involved that is.

[@alfredbauer4384]

Adam, phantastic and very interesting video as always from you! Keep dreaming - drill and ream. That was a good one...:-)))

[@kristoferjonsson3362]

Great project! It would be interesting to see the weight of the finished product. Built to last, no doubt. Would that 45 degree cutter work on either side? If so, you could have made your life easier if you would have used it on the "fixed jaw side". Then you could have left the settings the same with the thicker material also.

[@Abom79]

+Kristofer Jonsson Yes it would have been better to set up on fixed jaw side, but for making 4 simple cuts, i like the view from the front of the machine.

[@cpcoark]

Not that it's needed but you may want to do a couple of plug welds to tie the centers together of the 1" & 1-1/2 plates. Just in case a edge weld cracks in the future.

[@RobertKohut]

Great videos as usual! Thanks!

[@akennyd]

Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@k4391]

How would it be to cut those bevels without all the hammering and shit a knee mill does. Almost to quite. Looks like this will be a nice build to watch

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Adam, Turning into a kant twist kinda guy now. That 45 cutter left a nice finish on that old rusty Florida steel. Talk to you soon. Tom

[@Abom79]

+oxtoolco Love them clamps, need more, but the flea markets never reveal any. Cutting that bevel was enjoyable, vs the beat and banging typically heard from the knee mill. Thanks Tom!

[@trickydable]

those clamp's You showed , I know them as Die clamp's great video thank You for sharing ,

[@WAVETUBE84]

Cool stuff Adam. I'm kind of interested in how much the pressure the tail stock puts out. I guess you could think of it as a horizontal "screw jack". I was thinking that you could put a bathroom scale on the face plate and read out how much pressure is applied. Or you could use a "Tom-o-Meter". You could use a torque wrench on the nut that fastens the wheel-crank. You could measure the input torque to the output pressure that way. It would give you a general idea. I think I previously estimated that the tail stock of the big lathe at your work put out around 8000 or 4000Lbs with 10-20 Lbs torque on the wheel? But that was just a guess. I don't know the proper physics math equation, etc.

[@deej19142]

Hey Adam, do you have a video on how you change tools on that milling machine? How do you get different things on the horizontal shaft? What attachments can you use with that machine? I saw a thin slicer on one of your videos where you sliced a sprocket in half.

[@dixielivin]

We have some 12" Armstrong C clamps at work. They're god awful heavy, but would stop the earth from turning if need be.

[@waynekwoods2799]

Nice work Adam. Where is the new shop stool seat ? Casting is a alternative but I like where you are going with this.

[@Abom79]

I havnt installed it yet, but I'm almost thinking of fabricating a whole new stool altogether! LOL

[@machinesmotorcycles5511]

Adam are you going to use mig or tig or arc for the welds ? Good idea to use the metal you already have . Interesting project .

[@shadowfox929]

Great project Adam. Would a few plug welds on the 1"plate be of any benefit along with the edge welding? Can't wait to see how all this comes together.

[@robertkutz]

adam nice video.

[@ianmacd66]

Interesting project Adam. Just curious whether it was possible to set up the bevel cutter on the horizontal mill so that it removes material from the fixed side of the vice? I was thinking that doing so would allow you to mill bevels in the two different thicknesses of stock without having to reset the table. Cheers!

[@Abom79]

+Ian MacDonald Yes it would work like that, I like the camer view from the front side though.

[@ianmacd66]

+Abom79 The engineer in me was looking for an easier machine setup while totally overlooking your goal to create interesting video content. :-)

[@Craneman4100w]

Hey Adam, Wondering if you ever got around to squaring up those spacers on the K&T. I remember you mentioning then when you set it up and notice the eccentric pulsing sometimes when you use it.

[@Abom79]

+Craneman I did a few of them and found a couple really bad, but the arbors themselves have a slight warp to them.

[@Craneman4100w]

OK, thanks for the reply.

[@gwpsr58]

I was wondering during the video why you milled the weld bevel along the other edge of the plate stock before you cut it at an angle, and it sounded (and looked) at the end that you'd realized the same thing :)

[@Abom79]

+Gary Parker I was having fun milling!LOL

[@pkinpa6778]

Hey everyone.. Just a quick question .. at 23:00 or so Adam is talking about the key-way in the cutter he wanted to use but it was the "wrong "size . Is it possible to re-key or cut a larger key-way into a cutter you get to fit the equipment you have? Thanks..

[@Abom79]

+PKinPa Would be tricky with the tools I have. It's hardened tool steel.

[@MrGuvEuroman]

Ello Adam, when you mentioned about that key way for the other cutter, can you build an adapter key? Like bottom located in the mill shaft then machine the top smaller to fit the smaller size on the cutter?

[@dougpoole9553]

+MrGuvEuroman That's what I was thinking too. Just make a step key it's a sacrificial part anyway.

[@brnhamilton3603]

i see a track torch in the future, makes bevels for welding fast and easy.

[@Abom79]

+Brn Hamilton I had one and scrapped it because couldn't find a buyer.

[@brnhamilton3603]

+Abom79 i saw one on Pensacola Craigslist a couple of years ago and thought about buying it, that might have been yours. i'm just across the line in Gulf shores and have been watching your videos for a few years now. keep up the good work.

[@Abom79]

+Brn Hamilton That was probably it. It was a good machine but hard to find a good home for it. I had to get it out of my way. Nice area over the in GS.

[@MrMotobro]

Adam, love the videos.... Keep them coming. I was wondering why you did not cut the 45's on the fixed jaw side. Would there have been any issues with flipping the cutter over and running it backwards to cut on the fixed jaw side? Just wondering. I have learned everything I know about machining from you, Tom and the other creators.. Thanks

[@Abom79]

I enjoy the camera angle from the front side, mainly why I cut it that way. But yes, fixed jaw side. would be the best way.

[@WhoopTheAllMighty]

Hey Adam, GoPro have excellent support, you should try contacting them. From what I've heard from my friends, they've done some pretty sketchy stuff ending up with their GoPro broken, but they happily send them a new one for free, after being contacted. Give it a try.

[@jameslawrence8734]

Aluminum oxide is really hard (compared to the metal itself). I'm not sure about iron oxide. Is iron oxide harder than iron/steel? if so, does it affect a cutter negatively/noticeably? Basically, is rust removal before machining important? Rust would be removed when machined, since some layers of substrate would be removed, so the rust will be gone regardless.

[@SynchroScore]

Yeah, you could have a part cast, but then either you or the foundry would have to make patterns. Usually a pattern can be used repeatedly, but few foundries will even bother with all that work for a one-off casting, or will charge quite a bit for one. Besides, where's the fun in having somebody else make it for you?

[@makerdave42]

Interesting you're not making the arm out of plate and keep the center hollow. Sorry about the broken camera. It does remind me when a friend of mine had his several thousand dollar camera inside a CNC mill and got the top of the camera milled away. The camera had a built in stereo microphone before the oops.

[@dtec30]

Hey Adam I'm just wandering is the shaft on the k n t bent or the shim rings out slightly as I can hear a rythem to the cut and you can see it going up and down

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

lookin good

[@colts955stillwater]

MAN I LOVE THESE VIDEOS. IF IF I AM REBORN I WANT TO BE A MACHINIST. BEEN A PHARMACIST FOR 30 YRS.

THANKS. INSIGHTCLEAR47

[@phlodel]

Not many macinists have the fabrication and welding skills to do this job.

[@theFatTubist]

I always wondered how you cleaned up all the "leavings"... it's all just a good shop vac?

[@Abom79]

Not all but some. 👍

[@theFatTubist]

+Abom79 Ah, alrighty! Do you already have a video where you go through the methods you use? Or discuss about how long you have to spend on cleanup every day? I watch these videos and see mountains of turnings and I can't help but wonder what you have to do to keep things under control

[@arkansas1313]

Enjoyed the video, thanks. ....13

[@akbuilder7626]

Look at the Eken H9 camera. Its very close in quality to the GoPro but much cheaper.

[@bluegreenash]

Couldn't you just cut an additional keyway into that cutter to make it fit both?

[@kazwo]

Whats the best all you can eat seafood buffet in florida?

[@manuelmonroy3267]

Hi Adam....shouldn't you make a hole or slot in the middle of the plates to be welded together?? I was waiting for this project Excited :))

[@Abom79]

+Manuel Monroy Welds along the two lengths will be plenty

[@dlstanf2]

I know you've already cut the steel, but, would it not be better to sandwich the large flat steel between two pieces of 1/2" flat bar with blind hole welds along the sides"?

[@iainfletcher6388]

I thought similarly about adding slots/pockets in one side to puddle weld to tie the plates together through the vertical plane.
