MACHINE SHOP TIPS #60 Bridgeport Mill Workholding Part 2 of 2 tubalcain

[@audiogamer]

thank you Mr.Pete for making all the videos, this is such a good service you are providing us with. you have taught me so much

[@sirlancair]

I always learn from your videos. I have a small mill and lathe in the shop now and thanks to you, I can start practicing as opposed to watching them collect dust. Thank you for not assuming we all know the basics as many videos online seem to do. I'm proud to be a student of Mr. Pete/ Tubalcain.

[@kerrywil1]

I do very much appreciate your time to do these videos. They are both entertaining and instructional. My wife enjoys telling folks about this guy I watch on utube do machining , etc., they all look at me and ask what does he talk about for all the videos. I say just a lots years of experience of doing machining that we have lost to china.

Mr Pete, you are the Grand Meister Machinist on the web!

[@kgee2111]

You always learn something in Mr. Pete’s class!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@SlowEarl1]

Thanks for taking the time to make videos. Big help for me in my job repairing manufacturing equipment in the Great USA.

[@wyattoneable]

You have aquired some great tools over the years. Thank you for teaching your trade. I enjoy these videos.

[@larrycainis]

More great stuff. i hope you never run out of this kind of great information.

[@aryesegal1988]

Yeah Mr Pete, you could make a video series on how to make gears on a mill. It can be done, seen it many times here on KZbin. (Also heard you can make gears on a lathe, though never seen anything like it. Saw a lathe attachment for it once, though.) By doing so you could show and teach us some more mill work and workholding, teach us a new topic (gears), and make a project along the way (actually cutting the gears) which's always fun to watch, especially when a master like you is making it! :)

[@MrDan27611]

+1 to the big thanks, Tubailcain. I'm currently working on a big project for the Mrs. utilizing my Bridgeport. I sure wish I'd watched this 2 part series before I started. Just like your other videos, it would have helped tremendously. +1 to a gear cutting video idea or just one on how to use rotary tables for some small project.

[@gbowne1]

I've used the Rotary Table often for doing a bolt circle.in a pinch or for milling curved slots or for milling the edges of round stock (bigger than my lathe can hold) down to a diameter.

[@ericisom8159]

You mention using the vise-grips to hold parts...I like that. Would you recommend Kant Twist clamps for the same purpose. Unlike c-clamps, they don't have to be on end and cause interference.

[@730M]

once again I learned more stuff Thanks Mr Pete

[@tharlowXY]

What kind of thread is on those screw blocks? Thanks again for yet another engaging video!

[@aryesegal1988]

As usual, THANK YOU! :) I'm learning so much from you, THANKS!

[@Duckyistrippin]

Its funny, the cheap chinese hold down kit at 6:00 is just about the only one of the work holding solutions ive ever seen! Given my age {30's} USA made stuff is almost a novelty. I can only imagine the way my son will look at these archaic manual machines! Anyhow, good stuff! its rare to get to see into a professionals mind. What they use, and how they feel about most the stuff us hobby guys use because we dont know any different!

[@benbayer4575]

MrPete222, at about the 2:30 mark you use some "packing". I need one or two of those because the two at my work are about to leave and they just come in real handy. Do you know if anyone still makes something like that or perhaps have an idea of how to make something like that? Thanks.

[@tboost007]

great video again as usual.. very impressive range of clamping tools.. but i have to admit i would kill for those 5C collect chucks.. As soon as i saw the hardinge one i knew straight away what it was.. extremely difficult to find here in australia, you can buy them new, but you almost never see them second hand.

[@TheBdd4]

Thank you for your fine video. I have a Enco 105-1110 bench mill and a 12" swing lathe. I want to mill slots in 1/2" to 3" round stock parallel to the round stock axis. What tool can I use to hold the work?

[@moto9ll]

Pete i think a good project you should do with the rotary table is make a tube bending die set! just an idea..

[@brushycreeklures]

can you do a how to leveling a lathe and milling machine after you bought and also some more basic project would be great i think your great teacher and enjoy your youyube vid alot iam trying to self learn maching and you have been so helpful in doin so thanks tony

[@tboost007]

A few videos back you showed cutting a hex using your good indexing setup, but really any one of those 5C collet chucks will do the same job, and the fastest would be the hex & square collect block set.

[@LowCountryCamo]

Thanks for the video! It was enormously helpful to me. It looks as if your Bridgeport table has been hand scraped. If so, did you do that work yourself?

[@shanek6582]

Do you have any videos showing how to mount odd shaped items to a lathe faceplate? Thanks mrpete

[@mrpete222]

+Shane K not yet

[@richardrogers567]

Thanks

[@mrpete222]

Not the spin fixtures I'm familiar with. Mine use a 5c collet.

[@garethdavies3220]

Interesting video, thank you.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for watching

[@mrpete222]

@tboost007 Very true

[@aryesegal1988]

@Guds777 Simply implied that I want a video on exactly the same things you mentioned, the differences between types of tool/stock holders and collets, etc. -- aimed at the beginner :)

[@SteveBraithwaite]

It's been my experience that any tools made in England are first rate. I mention this because "Across the pond" means England (or Britain).

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

+Steve Braithwaite You're correct, English tools are quality; most of developed Europe for that matter makes a good tool. When Mr Pete's saying 'across the pond' he's referring to the Asian countries.

[@ArtemiaSalina]

I own a Hardinge horizontal milling machine, and I would LOVE it if someone would give me a Hardinge dividing head! :-) I'd even trade my Hardinge vertical head attachment and all of it's 4C collets for one!

[@terryhunt4324]

Its a 5C collet fixture. The only reason I know is because I have one, but I don't have the collets! Go figure.

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

T=up

[@aryesegal1988]

@Guds777 +1 !!

[@DieselCrawler86]

I see you do use the clamp down set alot...by all the cobwebs on it "laugh" You have so much stuff that you do not know where yo got it. Do people just leave you stuff? I was wondering when you are going to open you museum to show off everything! since you have so much.

[@TheBdd4]

Thank you for your fine video. I have a Enco 105-1110 bench top mill and a 12" swing lathe. I want to mill slots in 1/2" to 3" round stock parallel to the round stock axis. I have a 3 degree of freedom non-tilting rotary table. What tool do I need to hold the work? Please contact me at: bdd4 at att dot net Thank you
