Machinist Tips and Tricks Volume 2

[@ypaulbrown]

Dude !!!!!! having watched 100's if not thousands of videos on machining over the last 14 years , I think you have the best videos out there.......a heck of a lot of information in each one..... I really appreciate all the work you do......making these videos......as a pretty much self taught machinist, these are golden........Best Regards from an old guy in Florida, trying to be a young guy again, Paul

Hopefully this helps keep the trade going strong for years to come.

[@darranedmundson1505]

Thanks for adding those tips specific to machining plastic. It's appreciated.

[@dumpsterdave3710]

Love the voice over added to these tip videos I've been watching from you for years. The extra info is fantastic.

[@OctaneWorkholding]

Thanks for the support! Greatly appreciated.

[@michaelandersen7535]

That split round idea is so simple but so great. Definitely going to use that

[@peterc4450]

Love all your tips, favourite one here was the plastic bags around the magnet.

[@TBJK07Jeep]

The pull spring center punches I use more now than the auto center punch. I appreciate the tips.

[@EEJester1586]

Great stuff can definitely tell you’ve been in the industry a long time. Surprised this video doesn’t have more views.

[@OctaneWorkholding]

Thank you. It's always hard to tell how a video will do. One day, it might jump to 1,000,000

[@camreg5510]

As a fellow machinist this was awesome keep it up

[@mottohorn]

Not a full time machinist here, but someone who works on a South Bend manual lathe…it definitely still has a place. Especially still in niche areas like brass instruments with fine margins and fickle joints like from braise or solder. 👍

[@sdfgsdfg3789]

On a Haas lathe you can also use G74 / G75 for breaking plastic chips.

[@jasonhull5712]

CNC for production, sure. 👍🏻 But manual machining will always be required for many applications. Repair and prototyping for example. As well as low part count production. Or second operations.

[@RepLicanT00100]

I was hunting the comments to see if anyone had an opinion about that question asked… Really was hoping for more of a discussion on this, really had me thinking 🤔 on if it does? If so, could technically the “reasons” to saying Yes become obsolete in a practical/logical manner?!? No - Why? Yes - how far away could that be from happening?

[@alanrawson-wg8io]

Awesome video! The inner tube to quiet harmonic chatter is genius!

[@OctaneWorkholding]

Glad you liked it!

[@sky173]

Wow, I'll have to remember some of these. Thanks for sharing.

[@ypaulbrown]

those palm bevelers are fantastic, bought one last month and it has solved so many fabrication issues....your channel always has great info, thanks, Paul in Florida

[@OctaneWorkholding]

Cheers Paul!

[@marvinpybus4599]

Great tips !!! Why didn't I find your channel before I retired ?

[@matejkuka797]

0:32 "To see what happens" has gotten me pretty far in my life 🤣

[@Donkers_LLC]

Excellent videography and production as usual! Thank you for making awesome videos. You set the bar so high, my content seems silly, BUT we gotta start somewhere!

[@OctaneWorkholding]

We are all just learning as we go. If longer form content starts getting some traction I plan to up the production value and do much more.

[@atomichydrogenweld2823]

outstanding tips, cheers from Orlando, Paul

[@Phillip-tv7mr]

Manual machining is best for prototyping and repair. Not usually fast enough for manufacturing.

[@sjefleenaerts7277]

one man can run two machines even for small batches so I don't know if manual machining is still better

[@RossMarsden]

The inner tube reduces chatter by introducing damping. There are other ways to do that.

[@CSWeldFab]

I have used leather belts on brake drums.

[@grahammaund7405]

Absolutely brilliant, I’ve subscribed

[@crashfactory]

great compilation. more of these please!

[@smellslikeupdog80]

hey man, I've gotten into machining as a hobby. I'd like to find work as a machininst, but I haven't taken classes or workshops and stuff. At an old job I was a QC and I used to measure molds and parts carefully, and a crusty old tool maker taught me a thing or two. I'd like to get paid for some of this stuff ideally. Do you have any recommendations to get into a machine shop locally? Or any suggestions for a middle aged hobbyist....? I'm probably not going to retire or own a house, and I enjoy this stuff at least. Might as well at least enjoy what I do as a wageslave.

[@phalanyx3478]

You dont need classes. Apply and say you want to learn and emphasize your experience with paperwork in QC. Shops need people outside of 1st shift and if you can become a setup guy/programmer. Shops really need more setup guys/programmers.

[@DonMason-cv6og]

Knowledge of precision measurement is key to the manufacturing precise stuff

[@johnbogle522]

Very great tips 😉, thanks for showing us 🙏

[@asrieldreemurr4623]

Manual Machining is incredibly cheap for simple individual parts, so it does still play an important role up to today.

[@davidl.579]

Just plain and simple tips nice

[@KuchiKopium]

A beat-up but still usable manual machine can be had for a couple hundred bucks, maybe a couple grand. Someone who knows what they're doing can do some amazing things with that, even if the machine struggles to hold tolerances. Compare that to a 30 year old CNC for still almost $10k, and no guarantees it can do much better. I'm solidly in the CNC camp, having done that most of my career. Heck, I manually machine on a CNC because it's faster. But if you only have a manual, you'd be surprised how much you can do. Even thread-milling tapered pipe threads on a manual mill

[@peoplepower1272]

OK I give up...how do you thread-mill on a manual mill???

[@berntsteinmetz8564]

packed knowledge !

[@soychivaspues6375]

Finally i know the reason for a pointy edgefinder.

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Very clever. Thanks

[@matter9]

Some good stuff in this one 👍

[@billmontgomery8900]

Manual Machining sometimes is the only way for low volume work and repairs according to all the old school "tool and die makers". However after learning NC why should we ever use manual Machining when we can program a machine to do it for us? Alot of old processes in the shop I work in were effective but as all my elders taught me "work smarter not harder"!

[@billmontgomery8900]

Also, the last machine in this video, is that considered a mill turn?

[@Tadesan]

"It's a great tool to have in your box." That's what shes said! Lol

[@vorsprung2330]

Subscribed brother But i don’t have a lathe but i love it

[@jeromehope5823]

Definitely, conventional machines ARE indespensable.

[@CharlieSolis]

But as helpful as the first one. Thank you!

[@hakanoral7640]

Congratulations.

[@jamierussell6051]

Absolutely Manual Machining! Great show Great ideas! WWG1WGA 🇺🇸 MACHINIST FOR TRUMP 🇺🇸

[@adkinsfabricationandthenso3488]

Of course manual machining has a place

[@kugelblitz1557]

Yeah, depends on what for. For single simple parts I'll go back to the little Prototraks in the corner long as there isn't some funky curve on it. Even in the CNC machine, unless there's a thousand some parts I'll just find my height and do facing operations with the handle jog.

[@berntsteinmetz8564]

massive

[@SuperBallbagger]

Do more cool shit! That WAS cool shit but film it all! And keep it comeing 😂

[@BeachsideHank]

Play Doh or... a wad of plumbers putty.
