Hello Adam, my name is Daniel im a tool and die maker/ tooling engineer and i have my own tool and die company now. My point is plz keep making content your by far the best tool maker i have ever seen. The content you provided us with is absolutely priceless and your what America needs buddy. Thank you so much your a blessing to the trade!

[@daveb3910]

Absolutely!

[@adamthemachinist]

well thank you Daniel!

[@GetBlitzified]

Adam the content you've been putting on youtube recently is unbelievably informative and fascinating. I get the same vibes of Robin Renzetti from your videos. Big fan of your channel, keep up the great work!!

You and Robin are the grinding kings of metalworking KZbin, Great Content!

[@ericelsoncustomknives3940]

Very few videos worth an hour watch time.........this is certainly one of the few. A master at work.

[@TGC32]

When it comes to technical precision machining skill you're definitely one of the best if not the best on KZbin Adam. This channel is such a breath of fresh air compared to the rest.

[@danielmclellan7762]

@thegamechanger I'm curious, to whom are you comparing?

[@flyingjeep911]

1 hour show? Thank you for Friday’s entertainment 🍺

[@toteu00000]

I don't know about you guys, but i really like this format, a project from start to finish in 1 long video. I don't expect this format every time, cause i'm sure it takes a lot of time to film & edit. Thank you for sharing!

[@ConceptCNC]

Great video, love all the content you make. Not stuff you see everyday.

[@devinpeck101]

This and the peel grinding video are absolute gold. The detail in the video is superb. Grinding is a hard topic to find reliable information on. I’ve been trying to glean every bit of information Robin renzetti and Stefan gottswinter give on grinding. However neither of them cover the topics quite as thoroughly as you tend to. I greatly appreciate the education.

[@megamancards]

I'm not a machinist or have any intentions of being, but I love learning (under the theory that everything ties together) and you're an excellent teacher.

[@jameskilpatrick7790]

Adam, long form content like this, full of detailed commentary, is amazingly interesting. I love the short tips and techniques videos you put out, but this, in my opinion, is your real strong suit. The construction paper illustrations, by the way, are SO clear and concise. You are a terrific instructor. Thanks as always!

[@robertwatsonbath]

Thanks Adam. Love your comment at 5:25. I really shouldn't have been taking a sip of coffee when I heard that.

[@jobkneppers]

Adam you're one of the most inspirational and knowledgeable channels I found on the internet. (For other viewers Rob Renzetti, Stephan Gotteswinter and Tom Lipton were my first finds.) I wish I was younger and could be your apprentice. Still so much to learn and enjoy. You made my sunday afternoon great. Thank you Adam! I'm following you as a hawk. All the best, Job

[@ericmiller5559]

Nice work Adam. That's a very nice tool. Finally, someone who can provide a well-articulated and logical explanation of their work. Thank you.

[@MachiningandMicrowaves]

Lots of excellent ideas and techniques as usual, thanks Adam. Now of course I want to make one for measuring some microwave cavity parts I'm making with shallow face grooves that need a precision fit to another component. Great stuff!

[@adamthemachinist]

give it shot, its a fun project

I really love the chill and informative vibe of your vids Adam. Keep it going!

[@camperlab6546]

What you are doing is totally worth doing! We appreciated it immensely! Please keep the videos coming!

[@dutchgray86]

This is just an hour of brilliant machining and surface grinding knowledge being shared. That most who have the knowledge would not freely share with anybody on the internet for free.

[@eulerizeit]

I work in Software, watching people solve problems in a tangible way is interesting and, ironically useful.

[@hamiltonpianos]

Loved it! Watched right through in one sitting with my little girl (three and a half); she wanted to play Duplo when you started the assembly section👍😁

[@adamthemachinist]

Keep that up, That’s how mechanical minds are built

[@marksworkshop8724]

Adam thank you for posting this video. The work you do is like a whole different world than normal machining. It’s amazing and I can’t get enough! The precision and techniques you are showing are so cool to learn about.

[@adamthemachinist]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TurboDog73TX]

It is so nice to see someone with Your knowledge of Machining, Design and execution of said design, with the ability to explain it all in excellent detail.

[@blahblahblahblah2933]

Loved the video. When that screw went flying at 53:53, I felt that in my soul. I love the 3D printed tool ideas as well.

[@Arthur-ue5vz]

I can see that you're a thinker and you love the challenge. I can relate. I'm no high powered mathematician but I find a way. If I set my mind to something, I'm going to conquer it, period. Thanks for sharing this! Much appreciated! 🙂

[@Rob_65]

I've admired your work for a long time but I love the voice over: "Roughing out as much out as we can with a .6 (mm)" 😂 I watched the assembly full screen sitting at the tip of my chair. One of the best things I have seen this week and I could hardly believe that really was 10 minutes.

[@Ideasite]

You are the finest machinist on KZbin. I've watched the greats and they mention you. I am humbled and grateful for your generous contributions to the future of this high art.

[@warrenjones744]

adam the gage maker! Those fiddly little screws would cause me to do something other than chuckle. Great stuff and outstanding craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@adammiller4879]

Iv seen a lot of machining videos from different people, but you by far are my favorite, a true master at his craft, and just really understands the meaning of what you’re doing and why it matters.

[@umfan526]

I absolutely love your videos and seeing into the high precision world (as I'm a hobby machinist). Really appreciate you taking the time to show these cool techniques, especially the 3D printed solutions since I have several printers. Super cool stuff!

[@michaeldean4362]

I love these videos! Keep up the great work. As someone who just recently got into machining, I find this high precision work very interesting!

[@Bob_Adkins]

We used to use slightly modified Boice snap ring groove gages to measure very shallow bores, but they were good to only ~+/- .0005. Hard milling is still new to me. When I see sparks coming from an end mill, I reflexively grimace. Thanks for the great video!

[@terrynelson7565]

Adam thanks so much for your content. Normally I don’t use notifications on YT but for your videos I do. Please keep sharing your knowledge with us.

Very Very beautiful work , every step of the way 👏. I would have EDM many of the parts but would not have been as proud of the final device. 43 years designing and manufacturing medical products. Paul

[@adamthemachinist]

if I had a wire edm, many of the parts would have been cut that way I suspect. To good of a process to not use if you have it

[@snatchie715]

Have to say, this video has been out for over a year and I keep coming back to it just because of the incredible amount of information it gives. Most of these concepts have helped me with my own understanding and early career into Tool/Die Making and I want to say thank you very much for providing this content. Request more project videos like this whenever you have the chance, and Happy Holidays -Kyle A.

1) My hat is off to you. I'm just a hobby machinist who got the bug while building stuff to support my science research (now retired). As such I have met machinists who make amazing things that range from gizmos that crawl around on the ocean floor to dinguses that orbit overhead. You show the same skill and persnickityness as any of them. Bravo. 2) How in heck do you keep your shop looking like a surgical suite??

[@TreeHugg]

I was taught early on, if you can measure it, you have a higher chance of making it, compared to if you can't measure it. Nice video.

[@GuyFawkes911]

just great! Could you show a little about your lapping process for holes and round shafts

[@adamthemachinist]

if you google "Pemamo hone" that is what I use. not sure I would do a video on it since its a very feel dependent process, not sure it would transfer to screen well
