Making Copper Soft Jaws for the Four Jaw Chuck

Жыл бұрын

This little thing was on my list for quite a long time. Everytime I use my four jaw chuck I have to deal with sharp bite marks from the chuck. Especially on soft materials like aluminium this is a real problem. It is quite common to have some sheet metal jaw protectors which get between the chuck jaws and the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from bite marks. So now it is time to make my own ones from a piece of copper sheet metal 17mm wide and 0,5mm thick.
I hope, you enjoy this little project.

Thanks for your comment! Yes, they are really useful. In my recent video I made a cube out of aluminium. Without these copper protections, the cube would have marks on every surface but with the copper jaws the surfaces stay totally fine.

This is excellent, your work with the snips is tremendous. Would love to make a set of these for my 3 Jaw welding positioner, sometimes we have a job that requires gripping on fragile surfaces, and depending on the weight of the part, we need it really chucked up in there good and tight.

Quinn lässt grüßen😉 Wenn du den Cut der Laschen exzentrisch machst (eine Lasche kurz, eine Lang oder nur eine Lange) kannst du die Backen auch umgedreht verwenden für große Werkstücke. Natürlich nur wenn man die Backen in deinem Futter umdrehen kann...

Hi und danke für den Kommentar! In der Tat, das Video von Quinn ist mir auch schonmal untergekommen ;) Und ja, man kann die Backen auch umdrehen. Im Grunde müsste das eigentlich auch so funktionieren. Ausprobiert habe ich es noch nicht. Aber es kommt bestimmt der Moment, wo ich das mal brauche:)
@therealemmpunkt
@therealemmpunkt Жыл бұрын
@@WeCanDoThatBetter Ja funktionieren tut es, aber du läufst Gefahr das es nicht zentrisch gespannt ist, da das Werkstück dann genau auf dem Spalt liegt... Zumindest wenn das Werkstück kleiner als der Backenradius ist. Aber es ist immer leicht Verbesserungen zu finden, wenn man es nicht selbst gemacht hat...🤣

Hi. Gute Idee gegen die ständige Kratzer von der Spannbacken. Mit Kupfer kann man viele schöne Sachen machen. Wenn der nur nicht so teuer wäre. 😂 Sag Mal, wie zufrieden bist du noch mit deinem neuen Motor? Wie langsam kannst du dem Motor einstellen (Drehzahl)? Und natürlich ob der Motor noch genug Kraft hat um zum Beispiel Gewinde zu schneiden? Ich meine ob der Motor auf der niedrigsten Drehzahl noch Power hat? Meinst du das du mir die paar Fragen beantworten kannst? Ich wäre dir sehr dankbar. Danke für deine Video. Wünsche dir alles gute und ein schönes drittes Advent. Bleib gesund.

Hi und danke für deinen Kommentar! So ein kleines Stück Kupfer ist zum Glück noch bezahlbar:) Mit dem Motor bin ich sehr zufrieden bis jetzt. Er läuft absolut zuverlässig und hat mehr als genug Kraft für die kleine Drehmaschine. Die kleinste Drehzahl im 1. Gang sind etwa 40 U/min. Das ist auf jeden Fall langsam genug zum Gewindeschneiden. Ich nehme sogar meist höhere Drehzahlen dafür. Kraft hat der Motor auch bin niedrigen Drehzahlen genug. Im ganz unteren Drehzahlbereich kann es sein, dass der Motor etwas ruckelt aber er wird nicht stehen bleiben. Danke für dein Feedback, ebenso einen schönen dritten Advent:)

@@WeCanDoThatBetter Vielen Dank. Freut mich dass du mir die Fragen beantwortet hast. Ich habe einen bisschen größeren Chinesen (210×400) und möchte dafür gleichen Motor nehmen, nur mit 750 Watt. Ich denke der hat bestimmt die gleiche Handhabung wie der mit 550 Watt. Oder was meinst du? Ich meine damit ob ich den Motor auch mit so niedriger Drehzahl fahren kann? Ab und zu. Okay, nochmals vielen Dank und alles gute.

@@WeCanDoThatBetter Hi. Danke für deine schnelle Antwort und deine Meinung. Mache Blogger Antworten überhaupt nicht, Egal wie dringend du um Rat bittest. Bei meiner Maschine steht auch 750 Watt, nur die leistet das bestimmt nicht. Ich habe eine Digitale Anzeige am Netz eingebaut um alles im Blick zu haben. Volt, Ampere und Watt, ist manchmal nützlich. Während ich arbeite, schaue ich ab und zu hin und mit der Drehmaschine, bin ich bis jetzt nicht höher gewesen als 300 Watt. Kannst du dir das vorstellen? Ich konnte das am Anfang auch nicht glauben, aber die Anzeige stimmt. 😂 Okay, vielen Dank nochmals und alles gute. Bleib gesund.

If you use quick-couplers on the hydraulics, you could put the trailer behind the other Kubota. If I remember correctly you used an "ATV-pack" earlier? I suspect that you could fit the saws and the "ATV-pack" on the side-by-side... You are a strong couple so you could manage to use the controls standing 🤭🤣. Or just put some chains on the tractor when winter is coming. One pair of chains every ten years or more is collateral damage 😜...

Oh Joe, thats the worst video you have ever made. I even had to check after the paper template that it really was you. I am of course referring to your steel rule. We both know that it states on it only to be used at 20 degrees C. I think you should have a round (about dial indicator size) thermometer affixed to the rule. The thermometer scale should be replaced by an +/- Error scale with zero error @ 20 C. Thanks. Best wishes.

Especially the heat from my finger introduced some major length errors in my measurements. Had to compensate that later by cutting the finished bend parts to final size. All in all, a beginners mistake ;)
