MAKE A FLOAT LOCK Drill Press Vise TIPS 582 pt 3 tubalcain

[@GaryT1952]

WOW! That was impressive Mr. Pete, that shaper ran like a Rolex....great respect for the manufacturers, back in the day, that produced machines that were meant to last. Thanks for using the shaper instead of the milling machine, very enjoyable upload

[@Johnholt73]

Hi You often say that you think your videos are getting too long....they are not! I love watching your films because you are professional informative and a great teacher. Please don't ever stop.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very very very much

[@lathammarx1458]

The first industrial machine tool I used was a shaper in high school shop class. The sound and action of it really brings me back. Love the quote, " You can make anything besides money!" 😂

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@jodydoakes8754]

Even an amateur wood butcher like me really enjoys your videos.

[@thetoecutter13]

I love getting off work and finding a new video of yours! Thanks Mr Pete!

[@mrpete222]

[@bentontool]

I am VERY glad to see you using the shaper! Thanks...

[@michaelcerkez3895]

Good morning Mr Pete and all the other viewers. Well I guess it's coffee time. Thanks for the edutainment.

[@shawnhuk]

Mike Cerkez - mornin!

[@woodenhead8887]

That shaper is a true marvel of engineering and craftsmanship. Thanks for putting it to use to mix things up a bit and keep us entertained!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Great work, love watching the shaper very soothing. I ordered up material to build the vise.

[@jimm2442]

Please make a video of the project when you do make the vise. Thanks.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

@@jimm2442 For sure. Thanks Jim.

[@lathammarx1458]

I really like the finish the shaper leaves, it reminds of times gone by.

[@samueltaylor4989]

There is something about watching a shaper at work that is so mesmerizing. Slicing off layers of metal so easily.

[@RetroSteamTech]

Mr Pete, thank you so much for using the shaper, fantastic to see it in action. I was also amazed at how quiet it was.👍👍

[@ActiveAtom]

Hello a very Happy Saturday too you, take your time mrpete, the shaper will be a nice run to share. What an adorable machine to watch that South Bend Shaper operate. What no money being a Shaper parts maker? Lance & Patrick.

[@iamnickyj]

“We? What’s this we?” Haha Nice to see the shaper in action. Once again another great video Mr Pete.

[@shawnlund]

I love watching a shaper work. I have two and that’s two more than my shop needs but I have a metal illness.

[@bcbloc02]

Always fun to see the shaper get some love.

[@danielabbey7726]

Watching that shaper cutting the clamps was mesmerizing! Also, great tips on making certain that the correct operations are done on the matched pair (have made these 3D mistakes before!)

[@Smallathe]

Awesome. Loved the mill/shaper work. Thanks for sharing another wonderful project.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@susanbarbier5053]

Love the rhythmic sounds. Very relaxing.

[@Daledavispratt]

It's a real joy watching that old shaper making chips and it appears to be leaving a nice finish for a single point tool on an elderly machine! With the dew on the grass still, maybe Tommy is simply riding around his yard and not engaging the blades, just to spite you! :-)

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@llapmsp]

Always great to see a shaper working. Thanks for the video.

[@SwarthyPlinker]

I love watching that shaper work. It’s a neat machine.

[@COBARHORSE1]

Hooray for the shaper!

[@MaturePatriot]

I'm dying to find me an affordable little shaper. The Shop Teacher's WE! That is the whole thing about Home Shop machining...FUN! I like the striated shaper finish on machined parts. I will go back and binge watch the series when it is completed. A big bowl of popcorn and a large sody-dope and I'll enjoy a gloomy winter day. LOL

[@AlphaBobFloridaOverlord]

That’s a cool little shaper. Thanks for sharing, I’m enjoying this series.

[@arnoldsmachinetool4632]

Enjoying this great adventure. Just received my acme 1/2-10 tap and some acme rod to match. So glad you're using your shaper. That's the same way I'm doing mine with my South bend shaper.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@pgs8597]

G’day Lyle, well things do start to shape up in this video:) good to see the Shaper in action. I was using the drill press yesterday and thought that vise Mr Pete’s making would be handy, it’s on the to do list. Cheers Peter

[@mrpete222]

[@geckoproductions4128]

Love the video Mr. Pete. A shaper is a great meditation device, especially watching that Rube Goldber automatic feeder. Just put your middle finger and thumb together and say "aaahhhhmmmm"

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@junglejammer1]

Thank you, Mr. Pete. I was really waiting for this.

[@stevef01]

Wonderfully quiet machine

[@stanwooddave9758]

That shaper does quite the job. It may be slow, but fun to watch. Thank's for sharing.

[@OleGramps53]

Surprisingly fascinating even at the slower cut speed of the shaper. The sound was rhythmically like the old pedal sewing machines, oh I'm giving away my age as well. 😆

[@altonriggs2352]

No computer..no electronics...love it.

Hi Mr Pete that little runs nice . Im making one of the vise with an acme thread . JM

[@mrpete222]

That is the way to do it.

[@junkmannoparts9696]

Thanks a bunch Mr. Pete

[@bobvines00]

Lyle, thank you for a video using your shaper -- I like watching them work. ;) I'm looking forward to your next video in this series. I think that I'll be building a float lock vise before too long, based on your videos. If you get tired of chips flying across your garage, you could make up a "barrier/chip catcher" like Adam Booth has (shown in some of his first shaper videos). Or you could build a "pull head" like Stefan Gotteswinter used almost all of the time on his small tool & die shop shaper, when he still had it. He didn't like chips thrown everywhere in his small shop and chose to use that unusual head. It was one of the two original "heads" supplied with his machine by the OEM. Stefan actually used his to make $$, along with his other home shop machines.

[@mrpete222]

I will watch that

[@JourneymanRandy]

Looking good Tubalcain.

[@mrpete222]

[@SkylersRants]

Thanks for this video Lyle. I loved the Dodge Ram Ornament! You just may have started a new trend here! (and you might need to cast an Abomb sized one for Adam - new sideline maybe?)

At Warner & Swasey they had a training film..."You can tell a man by the chips he makes" I think they were talking about Mr. Pete!😊👍

Hey Mr. Pete this is a great project and that looks like a great vise for the drill. It even looks easy enough for me to make. Cheers and it is nice to see things are shaping up?

[@MrRvandeW]

A few years ago a wanted to know more about taps, found your video's about them and learned a great deal. Boy have i gotten the metalworking fever since then and have seen pretty much all your videos aswell as many other youtubers. This monday morning i'm going to receive lessons on the lathe from a retired shop chief and lifetime machinist. thank you for all your effort in making quality informative video's.

Arrg, Tommy's good! Well, every superhero has his archenemies! ;o) Machinery like that shaper are great reminders of just how intelligent inventors of yesterday were. Had to use their minds, didn't have computers and computer simulation to do their thinking for them.

[@mrpete222]

Yes thanks

[@stemer1149]

Always amazed how silently a shaper runs.

[@-Viceroy-]

When i was a kid, way before the internet. The way you talk is how i imagined all Americans talk. To my foreign ear the pronunciation is like poetry

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@ad2309]

A long time ago as a kid my Dad took me on a trip to a production machine shop of a guy he had business with. Along one wall of the shop there was 30 or 40 of these strange looking machines, which i know know were shapers. In addition to other things this shop in Armpire Ontario made thousands of parts for American Motors. Cheers!

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@pyromedichd1]

I have the same shaper. If you turn your tool holder around so that the clamp nut is facing out the geometry is better for reducing chatter during the cut. A tool with a larger nose radius or a shear tool for finishing will produce an almost mirror like finish. By turning your vise 90 degrees so that the cut is longer for each stroke you increase efficiency, especially after the tool is making a full length cut. I realize that you were showing off the shaper (always a good thing) but it also would have been more efficient to cut most of the waste away with a saw then make your final roughing and finishing cuts with the shaper so the shaper cuts from start to finish would have been the full length of the angled face you were cutting. Great video, I really enjoyed it.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks i will try that

[@ronaldkearn3322]

This is the first time I have ever seen a shaper perform. Very interesting. Wonder if any are still used in the machine shop. :-)

[@sharpeguns1]

I actually like that rough surface. Its accentuates the Holding Power . I Really like the idea if cutting grooves into the Jaws. The Ability to cut any Specialty Form into the Jaws.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Enjoyed thanks for the video.

[@paultavres9830]

Does the tapered area of the jaws serve any purpose Just wonder if they are only there because you are copying the other one or is there a way of using the tapered end for a specific method of holding something

[@mrpete222]

No

[@mce1919A4]

Thank you.

[@silverbullet7434]

I've got just machine to do the job. No shaper but my federal planer will do it , cut the vees in the jaws too. Thanks teach.

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@MrMichaeljab]

Is there a reason for putting an angle on the ends of the vise jaws? What are the benefits of having the angle on the end?

[@samueltaylor4989]

MrMichaeljab Probably not, just so they don’t look so clunky? I think some might argue you could have more reach into a tighter item with smaller head?

[@andyZ3500s]

Does anyone know if the Whitworth quick reverse mechanism was designed by the same man as the Whitworth tread? Like the shaper footage and the rams head on the ram was pretty funny.

[@frankpiazza953]

Mr. Pete l thought I would use 4140 but.I’m worried about title being too hard to machine. The say it’s anealed. What are your thoughts? I thought 4140 would be longer lasting. Frank

[@mrpete222]

I am not really familiar with that alloy. Try machining a small piece of it and see if it is doable.

[@frankpiazza953]

@@mrpete222 ok. I’ll let you know. In MSC’s catalog they say it hardness is A or B 60 (not sure what the A or B means). What’s the hardness of cold roll steel that you used?

[@robc8468]

Mr Pete a bit off topic....what magnification optivisor do you advise for general home machine shop projects similar to what you do, I am 67 and near sighted?

[@mrpete222]

Are use a number three

[@brittfuss1]

I’m currently using a number two. I’m slightly younger than you at 66.

[@PeopleAlreadyDidThis]

I use a 2, 3, and rarely a 4. Your working distance and depth of focus gets much shorter as the numbers get bigger. I’m 60 and extremely nearsighted. The 2 is most useful for me, 3 when I need extra magnification. I use the 4 only for the tiniest electronic work. Its working distance is only about 4 inches for me. It’d be useless in the machine shop.

[@douglasstovall2395]

Just curious and perhaps someone else has asked this already (I haven't read all the comments): are the angled ends necessary? What purpose do they serve?

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Probably mostly cosmetic, but it would give you more clearance on the swing if you have to move it hard over to one side or the other.

[@douglasstovall2395]

Great video! Why not design/build an automatic oiler for this machine that would add one drop of oil to the cutter with every stroke. It could be a mechanical unit that uses the stroke of the machine or an electronic pulse unit. Need some help with the design? I am ready to help. God bless-Bill
