Kennedy 3611 Machinist Tool Box & Kennedy 5150 Mid Chest - Mount On Roller Cabinet & Quick Review

[@robotech]

After I got into machining a few years ago, my boss told me his dad was an engineer for NASA and worked on Apollo 13. He gave me a whole bunch of machining tools, including an old Kennedy tool box. He had a garage full of machining stuff, but he never learned, so he gave me everything. He had buckets full of drill bits and end mills. He told me that at NASA back then, they would use a drill bit to drill 1 hole, then throw it away. Same with endmills, one use, then discarded. It was the standard rule back then, not sure now. Now I got more machining stuff that I could ever need. The one thing he couldn't give me was a cool portable mini lathe that you can take with you anywhere.

Francis - Wow! Sounds like an amazing find. Congrats.

kennedy makes three or four different lines of tool boxes. A couple lines have ball bearing slides. For service or fleet mechanics. Prices are very reasonable compared to the tool truck guys. 👍 I’ll be buying a couple Kennedy boxes very soon.

@user-qp3eb4pm1zfatcatreloading - Thanks for the comment. Yes, I think there mechanic series all has the ball bearing slides. For a top box with the thin drawers that us machinists love though, you get the other slides. Which for light tools they hold work very well. Still loving this new combo over a year it. Works great. I expect you will be happy when you make your purchase.

If you move the hinges on the lid forward from the middle pivot point it’ll stop the lid fully closing.

[@BladesIIB]

@ianeastell3242 -- I think they have changed the hinges. Just tried this and it did not make any difference. I think I have seen hinges that have a tab over or a bump out that creates a stop point, but these ones are smooth and closes the same either direction. I have to stick with keeping the lock in place. Thanks for the comment.

Suurin voitto logiikalla (can-väylällä) on omasta mielestäni mahdollisuus saada melkein ääretön määrä osia keskustelemaan keskenään ja säätämään itsensä riippuen muuttuvista muuttujista. Ja että voi ottaa yhteyttä osiin ja tarkastaa niitä etänä. Jos hyvistä osista rakentaa hyvin niin se toimii yleensä yllättävän hyvin. Sitten kun ottaa halvimmat mahdolliset osat kiinalaiselta nyrkkipajalta niin tietää miten käy... Siihen katkaisijahommeliin niin siinä on hyvätkin puolensa kun ei menee sähköä ristiin rastiin ja että "aivot" tappaa syötön kun joku laite menee rikki niin palovaaran riski vähenee. Pakokaasujen käsittely on omasta mielestäni suurempi ongelma, ja huonot liitokset...

This is 30 years of machine hand tools?

[@BladesIIB]

Wags - This is one tool box. I have another video with a full shop tour that shows more tools. I was a full time machinist 30 years ago. Over the last 30 years I have done some projects, mostly fixed blade knives. I just got back into really machining a few years ago. I can get most projects done, but there is always another tool to buy for sure.

Added Same as before just bolt the box to the base.Really........ the exact same set up on my 295 roller.Easier to take out the drawers(safer) dill 2 1/4 holts and bolt to the bench .The galvanized clips are $ 65 for a bag of 4..............bolt the top box to the riser.

@@andrewmattson3299 Good recommendation! Keep is simple and easy. I like it. Thanks for the comment.
