Machining a Metal Scriber w/ Carbide Tip

[@DullBoyJack]

There are so many machining channels on KZbin these days, and when this video kept popping up in my recommendations I kept ignoring it... until now. I'm really glad I watched it. Your style and the production of your videos is just awesome. It provides a really enjoyable way to watch you build your projects. Thank you for this!

[@daveg1208]

I build many tools and get great satisfaction when they can be used to make or build other machine parts. I appreciate the metal scribe you made and your sharing of this project. Thank you very much.

[@Asian_Kid]

0:32 That's the most satisfying thing I've ever seen.

[@Deucetrinal]

This is the kind of stuff I subscribe for, seeing this project makes me want to have little metal lathe so much more now. This is awesome.

[@Nuschel]

Your videos are super relaxing to me. Love it.

[@ActiveAtom]

We are always amazed, this is really a great presentation for the making of your own scribe, no voice videos might be the best thing to come along, but I live to talk so we will stay with the verbal sharing thing. Best part to these two desert dwellers is the utilizing the broken carbide end-mill and re-commissioning it into the scribe itself, great use of otherwise useless broken carbide end-mill.

[@straylgk5497]

I like the holes you drilled in the side. That right there is a good idea, I'm always looking for different grip ideas.

[@fasousa4798]

good job. I did a similar one but i used a 1/8" TIG tungsten electrode i had no use for. I used 2 ring neodymium magnets embedded in the body around the electrode and cap so the cap would stay in place magnetically

[@benji376]

I absolutely love all your videos! Appreciate it man!

[@JesperValentine]

Cool

[@Snugglez187]

I love the 1980's montage music. It got me all pumped up! 😂

[@Moose_Hawkins]

That is the *tiniest* boring bar I've ever seen, I'm subbing just for that

[@BurtonsAttic]

Great idea and the carbide is awesome!

[@stefanmaier2582]

If you want to improve the grinding of the endmill lower the rpm on the lathe and lower the feed on the grinding tool and start the last pass from behind so you end at the point

[@RetromagneticDesigns]

The synthwave music in the background is just perfect.

[@tonymaciejko7331]

So beautiful to just watch and relax.

[@RobertHellxKnightBrennan]

Freaking love this stuff. Could watch it all day.

[@sato4kaiba]

Nice, the re-purposing of an old drill end

[@blaisefrederic5359]

You made à marvelous Scriber, design very beautiful , exactly as i like. Please, excuse my formulation, i'm french and just speak a school english, but in any case congratulations.

[@TacticalBuffoonary]

Your english is better than most people who speak english.

[@budude2]

Nice! The carbide tip was a great way to go - should last forever!

[@arielon13]

immediately suscribed. a lovely tool, congratulations! (and nice music)

[@snackedonjack]

WOW! That is stunning. Well done!

[@scellyyt]

That's a neat little scribe!

[@markanthonystringfellow3923]

Great Work!!! The Grinding of the Tungsten Carbide Was Quicker Than I Thought :-)))

[@ronanderson1023]

Oh my god I've got to get a freaking lathe. I guess most people get them used? Amazing content! Thx so much

[@dragonlander1]

"Your the best around. Nobodies gonna bring you down!". Your the best..... Karate kid theme!

[@orangeorange3259]

That looks amazing.

[@johncoulter9287]

Great videoing. Nicely done. 👍

[@RhimDjaab]

Amazing. I’d buy this

[@JF_Projects]

WOW, great build, thanks for sharing...

[@zag]

Хорошая идея использовать обломок твердосплавной фрезы. Воспользуюсь! :)

[@OrbitalRose_01]

any specific reason for the copper/brass/aluminium structure? or was that just to make it look cool?

[@johnnyq90]

It is obviously for the looks, but it also makes it nose heavy, which is more comfortable (at least for me) to handle.

[@troyna77]

Ty Rose whittle for asking that.

[@sparkiekosten5902]

That little boring bar made me laugh with delight!

[@nelsonfine]

@JohnnyQ90 What are you doing with all of the metal shavings? Could you recycle them by melting them in a homemade furnace and make a video of it? Would be pretty cool to see.

[@snow4617]

作っているのは「罫書き針」という鉄に線を描いたりするための工具です！

[@mikitkharatmal5567]

Perfect tool meet perfect man loved your respect for your work🙏

[@Xenro66]

Johnny, what do you do with all the metal shavings generated from lathe work? Also, perfectly machined scribe, love it :)

[@stevenarango6319]

Quetion...... the plate behind the chuck.. What is it???? looks great awesome video....

[@ChadHHC86]

If you want the point to flush with the square you should flatten one side sorta like you would flatten a chisel.

[@thefallenkingdom9]

this isn't this old tony. how did I get here? 😁 subbed

[@lisag2771]

Beautiful work !!

[@richardebbole1]

to make it more accurate, cut more of a slope from the point backwards..think of the thickness of your straightedge

[@netmeet800]

This is art,no industry.

[@ke6bnl]

great project well done, for now I have been putting some tungsten rod in an old drafting mechanical pencil and work ok. not pretty like yours though and I can't take credit for making anything.

[@haruyoshida5417]

now this is perfection!

[@braiansingh9730]

1:58 Cute little boring bar!!!! So cute

[@andrewwaters2354]

Braian Singh why such a small boring bar and not just a drill bit I don't get it?

[@l30n7788]

Andrew Waters you can achieve a better tolerance with a boring bar much like a reamer

[@Tylerjrb]

And a better finish. A drill always leaves grooves.

[@Crazyhero-zi6yt]

a boring bar also leaves grooves, but smaller ones

[@craazyy22]

drills doesn't always leave grooves. its really dependent on the machine, drill and coolant. The best reason for using a boring bar here is precision. drills do not tend to leave a hole spot on the 0.01mm (even tho they can depending on the equipment)

[@RunderCaster]

looks amazing

[@whiterussian6144]

That’s beautiful!

[@aeromech2155]

Bro that music is wicked! 👍

[@get_like_me_i_piss_excelle4931]

Should have made a cap for it or something so that when it rolls of a table it does not break the carbide tip

[@kz6fittycent]

Best. Music. Ever.

[@danl.4743]

Serious question. At 1:25 .. I was surprised to see that a spot drill will shift. Is it because maybe it was not centered to the middle of the spinning axis? And is it still centered after this happens?

[@TadTadd]

Mine does that too. I think it's all about me having a small 9x20 lathe, with a fairly anemic tailstock. I believe that the center drill finds its own center. If it is a tiny bit off, it will act like a mini boring bar, digging a centered divot, and settling into its own divot. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

[@manickn6819]

I have seen that too. I agree with Tad. It centers itself. There would be play in the tailstock and even the taper chuck holding the center drill.

[@iAlex008]

It does that because of he already did that surface that he tried to spot on. Usually on raw material the “spotter” works better because it’s not relatively flat compared to if you already flattened the surface. On raw surface, it will usually be centered to the lathe. Have it flattened out before spotting and the spotter will find it’s own center. which is never in the center. not 100%z

[@timschutter4504]

Johnny next time working on a lathe with brass. Make the rake angle of your chisel 0. Works good on brass plus beter surface finish. Nice video's keep it up!

[@johnnyq90]

Thanks!

[@mickaelbordeaux6817]

very good job, incredible !!!

[@Hellsong89]

Would it be better to do face cut followed by center drill>actual drill and only then go to cut outer diameter? More material gives better support and center would be more accurate (yeah it accurate enough, but still details details)

[@johnnyq90]

+Hellsong89 That is absolutely correct 😉

[@Hellsong89]

So wheres my youtube machinist diploma? I believe going trough clicksprings videos alone should be enough for professional qualifications.

[@joentje292]

Damn, I love your work! Do keep in mind, scratching aluminium to mark holes etc. Does weaken the metal alot, I've learned to only use scratch pens on seel. Little question, are you a metal worker by trait or just a hobbyist?

[@eiscingdeath2004]

I always find different techniques interesting however i just had to ask why you went with an interference fit using lok tight for everything but the carbide instead of simply tapping each hole and using a die on each rod? Mechanically I've always had better luck with something solidly threaded into place and then using either blue or red lok tight then an interference fit.

[@matthewbragonje9333]

You should try to run a Stirling engine in reverse and see if it cools down at all.

[@tenet-rotas]

2:51 first rule of turning - never touch the rotating part directly. My teacher showed us some really nasty images..

[@carterstegg]

U just gotta be smart with it, and I'm this case, you'd have to be dumb to mess that up IMO 🤷‍♂️

[@Zakamooza]

how do you make such precise fittings ? like the hole in the brass to accept the copper and so on ? mine always are too big or too small , and when I try to reduce the diameter to get a good fitting it always becomes too small

[@MrFlatox]

Awesome work ! What is the green glue you often use ?

[@sreeragsr878]

Looking beautiful..! But what is th euse of taking diffnt metals..? it seems like u opted brass and copper with steel

[@burntsilverado]

Why does the drill bit, even the pilot bit move just a little when it comes in contact with the peice you are spinning?

[@asdalka85]

its complicated.... not sure myself but i think its the web of the center drill not cutting so once the tool starts to cut it self centers.... I've been wrong before...

[@warbird3294]

I see what he did there "sub"-"scribe". Good one.

[@saaa9964]

Good job. I would just take that car bite tip and put it in the pen...job done.

[@TheFringes.]

I love this music

[@gabsmit]

Awsome job.

[@chelarestelar]

Try putting some kind of turbo or supercharger in one of your nitrous engines and maybe even on the twin engine!

[@JoshKilen]

very nice job.

[@Vatsek]

Nice idea.

[@diyguild1327]

Hi Johnny, that is some great lathe work! What model lathe is that?

[@odinsama8113]

please create an axial turbine larger than the last one I love your videos I do not miss any you do everything very perfect

[@callmetatersalad132]

Nice! I do carbide grinding for my job and that stuff is pretty crazy, its so strong but brittle and heavy too. Do you know what percentage of cobalt the tip you used is by any chance?

[@NoTrail]

Go Johnny go!

[@WalterFabian]

Superb machining skills. Congrats! Really enjoy your videos. (BTW: Lathe make and model please?)

[@karlklops3810]

Very nice work! Looks beautiful! Simpler would not looked that nice ;)

[@joseramon9104]

Hello, I wanted to ask you about the tool that appears in this minute 1:58, it is bought or you have manufactured it. If you bought it, in what web? and if you have made it ... could you make a video of how they are made? Thank you very much!! A greeting!

[@joseramon9104]

On eBay ... I'm sorry for repeating the question! I did not read enough

[@imagine_laabs]

Best machinist ever!!!

[@sacriptex5870]

show us how you grind your tools.... very very sharp and elegant

[@awesomefacepalm]

Nice to hear some Synthwave

[@nomadautodidact]

I'd be soooo happy if I could have a lathe

[@AsymptoteInverse]

You and me both. One day. One day.

[@Shmrky1]

What is name of lathe model?

[@OmegaGamingNetwork]

You could likely make a fair chunk of extra money selling things like this. I know I would gladly pay pretty decent money for something like that.

[@billchiasson2019]

Nice job!!

[@Blurgamer17]

I've made a Scriber before, Except I only used Aluminum for the body. Yours beats mine by a longshot.

[@arupbhanja143]

Great job

[@zizilazy]

on sale? I really want to have this one

[@ugotit33x]

EXCELLENT NICE JOB

[@henryecheverria239]

Gracias felicitaciones y siempre adelante

[@zippy3711]

Nice job.

[@nilsgenaudeau3552]

Génial mais tu ne fait plus de Stirling engine ?

[@KayoMichiels]

What's next? Your own channel logo made from different materials?

[@Georges-MILLION]

Good job !

[@Cooperman8328]

I need this!

[@erazem3509]

nice lathe. i would love to have it, but as it happens, i don't have $1300 on my hands :) i just wanna know if you save the shavings? you can make some cool stuff with those, or just sell them.

[@johnnyq90]

I keep most of them. Someday I'll make a mini metal foundry to melt them and re use it on my lathe.

[@treasuretotrash2067]

@@johnnyq90 I tried doing that and it didnt really work. There were microscopic bubbles in the aluminum and it left a horrible finish.

[@marc-antoinevezina9814]

Would diamond dust tip work good too? I got no carbides but the pointy diamond bits for dremels are easy to find where i live

[@luisantoniomarrega1120]

Ficou perfeito meu amigo, parabéns! Rio de Janeiro RJ Brasil

[@SpookyWoogin]

Would it be possible for you to make drawings for it? I'd be interested in making one myself.

[@Benjbike]

Hey , you probably get asked this question all the time but , what's that lathe tho ? It seems to run so smooth and compact too ! Thanks

[@johnnyq90]

It's an Optimum tu2004v mini lathe.

[@julianarcos9646]

Bonita punta de trazar, buen trabajo, saludos

[@Zetex2000]

Great video, however I think you have a mistake, the end mill you are using are only carbide at the cutting edge, the shaft is not made of carbide, so when you cut out the carbide im pretty sure you only left a tiny bit of actual carbide. Was that your goal?

[@craazyy22]

the whole thing is carbide. its extremely hard to make a mill or a drill with half being hss and the rest being carbide. the difference is usually the end is coated. you could test this if you want by cutting of the shaft of a hss mill and a carbide mill that is the same geometry and measure the weight difference.
