MAKE A FLOAT LOCK Drill Press Vise TIPS 586 pt 7 tubalcain

[@lathammarx1458]

Definitely like the forming tool cut. Those rounded ends look sweet, Tubalcain

[@danielabbey7726]

Nice job, Mr. Pete. I plan on making one of these, but will cut different radii on all four corners of the form tool.

[@surlyogre1476]

Wow, that's a great idea!

[@tjofmaine1]

Thanks for the refresher. I remember watching your first video of making and using this cutter. Thanks again!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@giuseppecrimi2840]

Seeing all his videos, I intend to build one (in metric), the good thing is that I will be able to use it both to clamp the pieces on the drill, and to hold the pieces when I use the vertical bandsaw. Thank you.

[@michaelcerkez3895]

Good morning Mr Pete and everyone else. Up early for chores but I have a few minutes for my edutainment. Thanks for the video this is now added for my list of things to build. Now where's my coffee cup.

how could you dislike mrpete222 ? I am from Iraq and adore this Man and His teachings and thoughts and above all his character . I now believe there are wasted skins floating on You Tube and do nothing but go Randomly disliking Videos because they dislike themselves and their pathetic existence . you keep up the great and priceless teachings mrpete222 , we love you and your videos .

[@mrpete222]

Thanks 👍👍👍👍

This was great. You are amazing. Thanks fer takin' us along...

[@MaturePatriot]

I don't drink beer, so I saved up my soda money, as you suggested, and bought a very nice Craftsmen standing Drill Press. I will be referring to this series to make my float lock vise for that drill press. A Great series. Thank you.

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

THANKS Mr.Pete I love making tools

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@ClownWhisper]

I really miss my Hardinge 59 for doing stuff like that the machine was so ultra rigid doing anything with the form tool was just beautiful

[@gravelyman]

That cut smoother than I expected. Thanks mrpete222

[@MabrayFarm]

Excellent view of cutting the radius! Thanks for the video Mr. Pete.

[@bcbloc02]

Homemade and heat treated form tools, I love it!

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

Great work, those are handy skills to have, forming and heat treating! Thanks again Mr. Pete!

[@paultavres9830]

Something i learned about welding is called Desirability Same with machining It becomes a cost of manufacturing We all have to trade time to make anything Its a matter of how much time we are willing to trade for a project Some people are obsessed with perfection Other are satisfied with use ability Some times doing more with less brings out the real craftsmanship Thanks for sharing your life long of learning so others can learn from you Am sure it doenst stop in the shop

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@ahotdogisasandwich5716]

Using tools, to make a tool, to make a tool! Beautifully done sir!

[@1967Twotone]

Thank you! For saying "radii" and, not "radiuses". Thumbs up!

[@dimitrioslykissas7981]

Making the effort to say something correctly is still worth it. It is also a good indicator of the quality of one's education.

[@nomen_meus]

According to all sources I've checked, either way is correct.

[@yambo59]

I really enjoyed this video mr. Peter, watching you shape and heat treat the tool all in your own home shop is really something to me and very interesting. This is the kind of meat an potatoes video we really enjoy, seeing you use your years of experience and skills to make this all look so easy and work so well. As you said this result looked better than the factory made part. I have to believe this kind of video really gives help and confidence to any young and aspiring machinists out there, well done sir.

[@SteveSummers]

Thanks for the build series . Very enjoyable 👍

[@garywills5682]

Thanks teach. Im a bit different ive ground tool bits for so long ill grind a high speed tool bit. Ive many different sizes of tool bits. Form tools were my specialty working in a turret lathe shop eons ago. Little layout and a 5/8 radius gauge and its done in about twenty mins.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Well done and very easy method to make the great tool. Great demo. Thanks Lyle for sharing.

[@P61guy61]

Slicker than a peeled onion. Thank you for posting!

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

That came out great! I keep a magnet next to my forge to check for critical temperature before heat treating. It’s not exact, but seems to work pretty well!

[@griplove]

Great video Mr. Pete. Thank you.

[@OleGramps53]

Thank you for this lesson, now i have a new tool to make for my wood lathe as well ! Thank you again Mr. Pete !

[@ralphgould2783]

Thanks Mr. Pete, learned something I can use in the future.

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Nice idea, enjoyed.

[@outsidescrewball]

Great discussion / demonstration

[@Askjerry]

Thank you. Another great video Mr Pete.

[@yannisirvine511]

Nice! Would it be an idea to add three more radii (different ones) on the other corners of the slab, thus making a 4-in-1 tool out of the same piece of tool steel?

[@ruperthartop7202]

Great video Lyle. Thanks for sharing

[@jaimehernandez7474]

Good morning Mr. Pete. I'm apreciette your work, really is for me very good learning Whit you class.

[@RetroSteamTech]

Thanks for this Mr Pete, I was wondering how you made the forming tool. I made a tool post adapter for my lathe which can hold milling cutters at right angles to the chuck. You can then use one flute of a corner rounding or radius milling cutter to cut the radius, works very well.

[@coldformer1]

another great video thank you

[@bluedeath996]

Considering you don't own a compound angle vice, perhaps you could make a compound sine plate in a future video series?

[@jeffm470]

Always love your videos...I have learned so much from you...thank you...Here's a question...I have recently acquired a very large assortment of solid carbide end mills and drills which appear to have never been used. Since you are working with tool steel, would this be a good use for solid carbide?

[@mikemoore9757]

Smoother than a school marms leg!

[@noneofabove5586]

Very nice! I will have to try this.

[@Blackcountrysteam]

Another great video Mr Pete but for those of us who do not have a miller would have liked to see you make one with a drill press as you refered to in your high school days. Keep the vid's coming :-)

[@4SafetyTraining]

Great job on the hounds tooth

[@johnmortland1558]

Great work. Better than some of my work that turns out crooked as a dog's hind leg.

[@kevinwillis9126]

Nice work sir.. Thanks for sharing..

[@bentontool]

Nice job! My first inclination would be to stone the cutting edges to a fine finish (habit) but I can see that it was not necessary at all... I always want to complicate things... probably why I never get anything done...

[@mrpete222]

I did stone one that had a few nicks on it

[@PeteRondeau]

I never paid it much attention until you started this series but I've got a "float-lock standard" vise here in the shop that say "Pat Pend" no date on it though.

[@mrpete222]

Interesting

[@johnapel2856]

That is pretty slick. Thanks.

[@Daledavispratt]

Thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)

[@infoanorexic]

Reminds me of pushrods. I've debated on using the ones from the dead iron duke (engine from my previous pickup truck) for home shop made indicator stands. Initial tests indicate that they may be difficult to work with.

[@FrancisoDoncona]

Your safety bulletin in the beginning made me remember when I first started woodworking, before I understood the metal lathe. Looking for information I found a book with the author with an eye patch and a missing finger. Why would I take any advice from him. I wonder if he is still alive.

[@JamesDedmon]

Interesting idea

[@rwallace9848]

Mr Pete, you should consider selling autographed pictures of yourself like KZbinr Doug DeMuro. I bet a lot of people would like to have one hanging in their shop, myself included. Plus you would raise money for your channel.

[@mrpete222]

lol

[@kenbeattie1958]

The one tool in my shop that I have never used, is a small engine lathe with a coffee can full of brass gears. I suppose that the best way to learn about it is to just jump in, but then my dad called me "crowbar" for a reason. Any recommendations on where to start?

[@ededmund5685]

wow good video .. Thanks Ed Loretto Ontario Canada

[@lomsomesGarage]

I'll be making one for the shop

[@Jonas_Keunecke]

Smooth as a hounds tooth!

[@mrpete222]

Yes

[@homeFall1]

@@mrpete222 always heard it as "slick as a hounds tooth" but it could be a regional difference thing. Love the series even 4 years late. Blondie Hack's video series brought me here and I subscribed.

[@derrylmassingill4081]

Explain to me why you questioned in water after you heat treated and Drew it back to a blue color

[@derrylmassingill4081]

Also that's pretty cool I've never seen a form tool being made I've seen a few form tools but none like that pretty awesome set up

[@BensWorkshop]

Nice work.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

That’s slicker than a toads tonsils after a summer shower!

[@prenticeemler7709]

Great job , learned something 😁 thanks

[@ClownWhisper]

I don't know if it's just me or would I like to do but I found it beneficial to clean up a piece like this on a 3M deburring wheel which are kind of expensive but if you use them sparingly and as they are intended to be used they last quite a while and they are worth their weight in gold as far as I'm concerned. But if you clean up a piece like this prior to heat treating it you can really see the colors and get a fairly accurate amber tempering on the piece just my opinion I don't know if anyone would agree with that but that's what I believe it's always worked out well for me not that I'm any kind of expert mind you

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Never had any luck using form tools. I think you need a fairly heavy lathe I just get chatter when I try it.

[@russelallen5342]

The right amount of pressure when feeding in makes a big difference. Too little, more chatter, too much more chatter. When you catch the right amount, smooth as butter. I've made/used many over the years, used on my 1936 12" Craftsman Lathe.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Russel Allen I think my top slide and saddle a pretty worn and I need to have a look in more detail sometime. Thanks for the advice regards Chris

[@russelallen5342]

@@allthegearnoidea6752 That would do it. Lock it down and feed in with the carriage.

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Russel Allen hopefully that would help. Thanks Regards Chris

[@gregfeneis609]

What kind of oil is your heat treatment quenching oil? Is that just old crankcase oil from your tractor?

No, it was a new motor oil meant for my tractor

Sweet!

Could I use 1095 steel to do this? Thanks for your knowledge it is appreciated.

Seems that you need one more vise

[@carver3419]

Could you have chamfered some off the end first and reduced the chattering?
