MACHINE SHOP TIPS

[@stanburdick9708]

beautiful ! every time I watch your shows I learn something >>>>>>>>>>so much to learn and so little time

[@RyanHaworth]

Let me just say how impressed I am at your teaching skill, and how thankful that you have taken the time to record all of these videos. What a blessing for us aspiring metal-noobs!

[@nodrog798]

Your experience is very much appreciated.You have saved a retired novice a great deal of time, money and fustration by uploading your easy to understand tutorials.I look forward to seeing more in the future.Thanks again!.

[@enzofabrizi5128]

Thank you very much! I've watched many of your videos and have learned many techniques from you. You remind me of a wonderful Machine Shop teacher that I had many years ago in high school. In this video, (MACHINE SHOP TIPS #118 Making a Form Profile Lathe Tool) you've allowed me to visualize the process for making a custom cutting blade for my rosette cutter so that I can make MDF rosettes to match the others in my home. I really enjoy your videos and thank you again!

[@mrpete222]

THANKS for watching--glad I helped. Keep watching, much to come yet

[@ODMIJ084]

Thanks Mr Pete for another great video. I noticed you have been videos quite regularly and frequently I really hope this trend will continue in the long term. KEEP THEM COMING!!!!!

[@PorkBarrel.]

You are an excellent teacher sir. My shop teacher was from Czech and a great machinist but there were some translation difficulties for me. I spend every weekend in his shop for 3-1/2 yrs. At 63 I'm still learning. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@mrpete222]

+John McDonald Thanks for watching

[@aryesegal1988]

Thank you very much, Mr. Pete! Always a pleasure seeing a master at work :)

[@gregfeneis609]

Thanks, Mr. Pete. I had a ball watching this video

[@mrpete222]

+Greg Feneis thanks

[@gj3072]

I think you explain very well!! Thanks for yet another one.

[@hakimmic]

Thank you Mr pete. Very educational as all your other videos.

[@frankwolfe1524]

Mr. Pete222,Excellent video, I do plan to make that little tool... It will be a great addition to my toolbit collection...Thanks again,Frank

[@gbyoung2]

Coming across your videos late in the game, and decided to take on the form tool to make some of the missing oil plugs for my SB 10L Heavy. Cut the dauber size on one end, and the other for the common, missing oil plugs. Once heat treated, we'll see how it does. Thank you for your help.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@aj9270]

Thank you for another great video Mr. Pete !

[@billdevlin1530]

Hi, I commented on one of your other videos about the shear tool, I'm the one that runs screw machines, this video is kind of the same thing on what we use for form tools, except it's in a different holder with a dove tale and much bigger, once again great video.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks you

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Hmmm, I have a form too for my table saw. Actually it was an idea by Sears for making wood molding. It was a device to replace the saw blade and it held three tools that could be used to molding. It was a scary piece and I only succeeded to make one piece of molding. I feared for my hands, fingers, and life as it was a rather precarious endeavor. So I was happy to see this video. And no questions here and no reply is necessary.

[@Angus_McGyver]

Looking forward to the hardening and tempering video's. That's a useful skill I want to learn more about.

[@johnjennings8085]

I have had good luck using mild steel on one off or short runs on aluminum. Thanks for the tips.

[@ErezAcker]

very interesting as usual, thank you. I can't wait for the heat treatment videos.

[@ndeep45]

I'm watching its great to learn stuff that I might use in future

[@not2fast4u2c]

Thank you for another Great how to video

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

If you don't have any tapered end-mills, you can produce a tapered hole on a lathe by boring with the compound slide of set and then cut the steel in half to leave you with a half moon shape that can be hardened.

[@Wooley689]

Great project I can see other uses for. Thanks for sharing.

[@JackHoying]

Thanks for another informative video. My guess for your project (or at least it's what I'm going to use it for) is to make a flexible arm work lamp.

[@ravinderwahla1698]

Simply brilliant sir !!!!!

[@paulmanhart4481]

Ok. You addressed my question. Thanks.

[@ericisom8159]

Tubal, Couldn't you cut the circular portion with a 3/8 straight end mill with the work tilted in the vice slaight?

[@iiinsaiii]

Great video, can you do a video on 5C spin index. I haven't seen a video on it and What you can do with it. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@BCLSundayFunday]

I'm looking forward to your heat treating videos. I saw your tool turn blue on the grinding wheel. I've always been told I've ruined a tool if this happens but I don't know why. Maybe it's not ruined if it's heat treated after?

[@dannykrumpton4467]

Thanks for another great lesson,

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

I like all of your videos but I was wondering why you skip numbers in the series? I mean where is machine shop tips #117 for example or #116. Thanks for making all of these helpful videos.

[@kerrywil1]

Another very good video.

[@alexandermcgilton9204]

What happened to your last video on the drum switch situation. Have you given up, or has it been resolved.

[@kerrywil1]

great video. any interest in making a video on fly cutter and facing mill with all the nuances?? thanks

[@mrpete222]

High speed steel can take that heat. blue is only 600 deg. Common carbon steel--probably not.

[@cemx86]

On the grinder I noticed that he runs the part left-right against the wheel. This is to prevent the wheel from getting a groove cut into its face. I have seen too many wheels that the face wasn't flat. Of course there is a tool that will redress the wheel back flat again - many grinders come with one. Use it!

[@miles32323]

when i get through machining school i want to be just like you!

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@MrCrispinEnterprises]

You would just mill it in its soft sate before it was hardened, it would be similar to milling normal mild steel, just a bit slower!

[@askquestionstrythings]

For a 1336 belt drive lathe with a 2HP motor how big of a form tool can you use? I can't find any information on sizes for form tools. I would love to do a project with about 2.5-3 inch form tools for aluminum and brass.

[@mrpete222]

There are no set rules that I know of. But believe me a form tool cannot be very wide

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU TEACHER :)

[@JohnCaven312]

mrpete222 if we live in IL are you ok for a visit? I understand security issues and all but I'm pretty close..

[@paulmanhart4481]

What is the limit on radius for a tool like this? Can one be made to handle a 2” radius? Yes, I realize it can be made, but I’m asking if there would be problems cutting a ball that size. Thanks, Paul

[@theseldomseenkid6251]

It comes down to the rigidity of the setup and the material being cut. The bigger the radius and the harder the material, the more chatter prone things are going to be. It can be used as an excuse to buy a bigger lathe ;) .

[@ROCKNTV1]

cool vid mr pete thnx

[@BenButler1]

@mrpete222 thanks for the info! can the form tool be made with a straight end mill but have the tool blank in the vice at an angle?

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@ka6mht]

Somehow I get the impression this is the beginning of a boiler and firebox project. flexible staybolts?

[@jayphilipwilliams]

Cool!

[@krazziee2000]

Thank you again,

[@superviralman]

you are amazing!

[@lourbun7990]

Hi Pete222, I like your name ( Tubalcain ). Are u a traveler , if yes, from where to where ?

[@j.lucena5486]

very good

[@BillChennault]

mrpete, I would like to have learned how to mill the hardened steel instead of the mild steel. Thank you for the video!

[@paulhatch7759]

I have one question, it has ten parts..... Ha ha just kidding.
