Making a Surface Gauge (Part 1) || INHERITANCE MACHINING

[@TheLayleaf1]

Maybe not the focus of your channel, but I would be really interested in an episode about making drawings by hand. As someone who was only thought to go from 3D to 2D, I find it hard to wrap my head around designing things in 2D. Paper being even more unforgiving.

[@InheritanceMachining]

I am definitely trying to find a way to work something in like this. I'm not an expert and have honestly forgotten most of my training. But I may still be able to come up with something

[@briannorris246]

This is a video I would love to see. Brings me back to the high school mechanical drawing classes I took.

[@cschwad559]

I took an online drafting course twelve years ago which improved my drawings dramatically.

[@Jessen_2002]

I would love to se that too

[@almostanengineer]

I actually think this kind of video would fit in well, this channel seems to be leaning towards ‘vintage’ machining techniques, and part of that would be drafting.

[@athomist]

That rotary table is a beauty.

[@huenchenmarkt188]

This new channel is made with so much love and passion. I love how even the old office chair is used. Can not wait for the next video. I am an engineer from Germany and will recommend this channel to my fellow "Bastler-Kollegen".

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad to be back in front of these machines and to share my journey. Thanks for the support!

[@Dusty_Ford]

I have no experience with machining but I've found joy in watching it, and during the time This Old Tony isn't uploading videos it's awesome watching you're videos! The quality and care put into the machining and video editing just makes a great experience.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you for the kind words! I can relate to missing ToT. He's my OG favorite channel since about 2017. He took a very long time off a while back so I'm happy he's managed to make somewhat of a comeback.

[@willandrews4762]

Don’t stress the burnt up endmills too much. Even very experienced machinists still kill there fair share of endmills. Keep up the awesome work. I’m really enjoying the videos!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Ah good to know! Thanks for the support!

[@michaelrice500]

I would consider this my dream shop; everything I could imagine ever needing. Few newbies realize that once you have the machines, you need the collets, mills, indicators, parallels, rotary tables, etc. which will probably equal or even exceed what you paid for the thing that makes the noise. You've got a wonderful thing here, sir; you've chosen a superior grandfather!

[@InheritanceMachining]

This couldn’t be more true. I have no doubt the tooling in this shop far exceeds the machines in value. All the more reason to make the best of the situation that’s been give to me!

I've watched all of your videos. They are great. Gives good insight to how someone truly begins. I didn't inherit machines but I started out with 3-in-1 200 dollar machines and worked my way up. I ran into alot of problems refurbishing and just learning the trade. Brings back memories. You're doing an outstanding job. Keep up the good work.

[@coldlogiccrusader365]

God Bless You!!!! Old School DRAFTING!! Learned it in 10th grade decades ago, I still use it! Your machining skills are a thrill to watch. Wish I had a Surface Grinder. Your base so far is better than most and as good as Starret or any top shelf manufacturer

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you very much!

[@hardtailchop]

Oh man, I’m loving this project so much. Despite owning a mill and lathe, I’d really struggle to make a tool of this quality with my smaller benchtop machines so I’m kind of living vicariously through your wonderful films. Thank you for being so generous with your time and bringing the whole internet along for the ride 👍

[@InheritanceMachining]

Even with smaller machines I think you could still manage, just might take more passes and patience. I'm glad you are enjoying them though! I'm having fun making them and sharing the projects.

[@theoriginalDirtybill]

[@InheritanceMachining]

I wouldn't say that... But I try! It's more fun this way

[@craigtate5930]

So good to see a manual drafter again

[@InheritanceMachining]

I can definitely appreciate the speed and ease of designing with CAD, but there’s a physical element to drafting that makes it more fun at times

[@brucematthews6417]

I really like the pacing of your videos. It's a nice blend of seeing the process without dragging it out and making me want to skip to the more important points. You're also giving me ideas for projects in my own shop. I need a proper surface gauge of my own....

[@InheritanceMachining]

I appreciate you saying that. We're working really hard to keep them enjoyable the whole way through. So thank you for noticing! Also, I'd recommend this project

[@lucasrock1290]

future tip, don't use a drill chuck to do any side-load operations like milling. they're fine for plunge cutting, counterbores and drilling but that's it. could destroy your drill chuck and make a nasty mess. keep all the load up into the drill chuck.

[@InheritanceMachining]

That's a really good point. My little mishap with the t-nuts definitely showed me how bad that could be. Thanks!

Darn, a cliffhanger at the end of the video. You are testing my patience, 😃 as this is becoming one of my favorite channels. What I very much enjoy are the side projects needed to do in order for you to complete the main projects. Gradually you'll have a smoothly running shop (one can hope), plus you'll have gained so much experience along the way.

[@InheritanceMachining]

haha! The side projects are both a blessing and a curse (as you say). But there's no avoiding them either way. Thanks!

[@almostanengineer]

@@InheritanceMachining I can imagine it can be rather frustrating when you have to do a side project, to complete the main project, but including them is actually really good, it shows the entire process, a more realistic view of machining. 😊

I bought the same rotary table because of you! I had to take it apart to derust and debur and change the oil in it. I love it

[@johnbrewer4619]

[@Bradley-Rowe]

Well done sir. As a machinist myself and a life-long-lover of well produced, informative and entertaining KZbin videos, this was a treat. I’ve been catching a few videos of yours here and there and I was skeptical at first but you’ve shut my doubts down. Youre skilled, knowledgeable, and obviously excited about the trade/hobby and it shows. Color me impressed.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you very much! While there are a few things I know, I recognize there is so much more that I don't. So I'm definitely not trying to give off any sort of "expert" vibes. Just sharing my learning process

[@JayRussellDuramax]

Seeing the rotary table used like that is SO awesome! I can definitely see how you'd feel like a human CNC machine after doing something like that. Awesome work so far, and I'm excited for the next video!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks, man! One of the cooler operations I managed so far

[@MrMorbitron]

I looked for it in the comments but didn't see it, so here's my bit. When side milling on a Bridgeport style mill, make sure that your cuts are conventional. That is, teeth turning into the direction of travel. Climb milling will pull the tool forward and into the work because torque is being applied into the direction the backlash. That said, you've got some serious skills my man. I found this channel yesterday and I'm almost halfway through your video back log so far. Keep up with the high quality videos. This is excellent work 👏🏻

[@InheritanceMachining]

Great point! I think I've mostly been able to get away with this so far because my ways are snug and my backlash is adjusted pretty minimally. But that doesn't make it ok 😉 I appreciate the support. Welcome to the channel!

Lovely work as always. I joined the company I work for almost 30 years ago. An old guy that was retiring a few weeks after I joined gave me 3 of these when he cleared out his toolboxes.

Fantastic work! I also love the LOTO card with the photo! It's a brilliant trick to convey the solemnity of why the card is attached to something. Wasn't a true believer until I almost lost some fingers to a small bandsaw. The saw wasn't even large enough to hide behind, or so I thought, and was crouched behind it reading info off of the motor's nameplate when a coworker turned the saw on. Scared the hell out of both of us.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Wow! That could have been bad. I've had a few close calls with machines myself. Fortunately most modern industrial works have standardized on physical LOTO locks.

Love the extra work you put into making the parts as pretty, precise and well-fitting as possible. Some people might see it as overkill when it comes to surface grinding the parts, even the "less critical" ones like the fine adjust lever and also some of the chamfers you put on the parts that aren't "necessary" but both of these things combined will yield a nicely "finished" looking part with lots of accuracy and tight tolerances in the parts. Obviously this all translates to a more precise and higher quality part that will remain that way for longer and also looks very professional. Love the channel by the way. Asides from the extra effort you put in all your projects, the cinematography is really well done also. Your channel has a very "zen" like quality to it.

[@Horus9339]

I was watching a Gentleman that was fastidious about his grinding, really fastidious, he advised using a piece of wet paper (newspaper or paper towel depending on the piece you are working on) under the piece as it will create a more level surface to do the initial grind. It seemed like a really clever idea and maybe useful for yourself in the future. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

I'd love to be as good with metal as I know I could be...

Agreed... Also if you are trying to give away a surface gage, I am on the student Baja SAE team at NCSU (we work in the same shop and share tools with the Formula SAE team too, both of which are university clubs that build performance cars to compete against other universities) and we do a ton of machining for our car and could really use a surface gage if you want to donate one (our team, as all baja sae teams, are not for profit and rely on donations). Also I know this is a wild request and super random but figured I would give it a shot lol

[@dwilley3754]

Great video. Some pointers for you. You should never run an endmill in a drill chuck. Unless you are plunging straight down. The chuck can come off the arbor and will make for a very bad day. Also, the roughing endmills looked like you were turning them to fast that’s why they died early. Instead of taking small depth of cut take full depth with light radial cut. This will let you use all the flutes you paid for. If you dull the end of the tool the endmill is trash and you never got to use the top of the cutting flutes. Keep up the good work. The videos are great. I would love to do what you are doing and pass knowledge to the next generation of machinists.

It sure is. He's watching over me. You're the first to notice that! The thumbnail of my first video has the same tag in it. It's not super obvious but I know it's there and I liked how fitting it was given the topic of the video.

Not sure if this will come up later in the video, or if you took it into account but didn't mention it, but the first two times you went to the surface grinder you faced the risk that your surfaces were not square. Coming off the lathe from the second facing operation, did you use the first faced surface as your reference surface? If you used the second one there's a good chance that the sides of the part were not square to the base. Then when you went to the surface grinder for the sides put the piece directly on the magnetic chuck without any referencing to the two surfaces that you already ground. I guess this is fine if you do not have a reliable working vise to put on the surface grinder, but I would think that getting a vise would then be a higher priority than the piece you are making here. Ideally you would use a good vise in the surface grinder to ensure that your third surface is referenced to the first two, then you can use that directly on the mag-chuck as the reference surface for the opposite side
