Another "edutainment" video. Both educational and entertaining. Tubalcain, you are my favorite.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@ronaldcrowder404]

This is the first I saw of keys for vices thank you very much because now I can make mine easier for installing after removing!!!❤

[@mrpete222]

[@ronaldcrowder404]

@mrpete222 well I made mine and I have it within .0005 of being dead on ! Again thanks because now it doesn't take so long to set my vise up !!!

[@oldwaddie3259]

This was fun for me because I worked for LaSalle Steel in the 1960's. Their plant was in Hammond Indiana with offices in Chicago. It was a very interesting place for a young man to work and paid very well for the time. They were a cold finishing mill Thanks you Mr. Pete. You sure do have some cool stuff.

[@mrpete222]

That's neat, you actually work there

[@josephwilson6651]

Expertly done. Is that a word? Thank you Lyle for sharing.

[@mrpete222]

That's a word all right, but I'm not sure it describes me, LOL.

[@ericdouglas9804]

So nice to see a precision line scribed jus once. I had an instructor whose favorite phrase was: “ a millwright and a machinist scribes a line once, a carpenter and a mason twice, and a darn fool anymore. Eric

[@mrpete222]

Very interesting, I'm sorry to admit that sometimes I do multi scribing. To make sure the lien shows up on Metal

[@dalegriggs5392]

Mr. Pete, Another jewel. Simple process and simply described. (A necessity for my simpleton mind) As for moving heavy buses and such around you need Harold’s rafter winch. I would do the same but I don’t have rafters or sufficient support for one. Presently my shop consists of two of those vinyl storage buildings sold by Menards a few years ago. When I put the thing together they told me I couldn’t combine two buildings as the middle support beam wouldn’t hold up to the stress of the longer roof. Well, as is they are probably right, however, I joined the two together by inserting a 2 1/4 by 5 inch white oak beam the entire length of both metal roof beams. It’s going on 15 years now and hasn’t even bowed. A big mulberry tree limb weighted by the ice storm of 2006 didn’t faze it. I also filled all of the hollow cavities in the side walls with insulation as I knew I would be spend a lot of time out there. I heat the entire thing with an infrared heater and cool it with a small 5000btu air conditioner. Yep, it’s small and I could use a bit more ceiling height but I make it work for both wood and metal work. Dale

[@mrpete222]

You did a great job with a plastic building, LOL

[@metalworksmachineshop]

Thanks. I like the machining videos. Its been a wile. Lots of molds, drills and bandsaw videos . Not saying there bad , just like 2 see the machines running

[@mrpete222]

Yes I liked your micrometer video. I was shocked at how poorly made the Chinese instruments were. I do however, like that microscope. I think I will get one. But The last time I ordered from bang good. They ruined the 3-D Matt that I ordered for my printer. And they sent the wrong item also They sent me a dashboard video camera that I did not order. I looked it up on their website, and it sells for $168.

[@pierresgarage2687]

@@mrpete222 Sometimes they get mixed up with orderd, though, rarely on my part... I'm looking into a different set-up for microscope, they would send me, it's a more expensive unit that I think of using a little differently, but the one microscope shown in the video is real good for general shop use, so far I'm quite happy with it...

You know why you have those keys because you have everything mr.pete. I like the t-nut so I can go find it down in the groves, they just feel better to me (how I was raised likely). Nice oil can. amen on the this is how we do it. Another great video, look at the perfect indicator float as you dial along you held her well.. Off to measure my Barker Mill key-way slots to see what we have for our 3 inch KURT?

[@bobuilt10]

Hi Mr Pete, another great video. I'm just wondering why with only 1/16" to come off, you centred the keys rather than removing material from just the one edge and saving yourself a set-up? Keep these great videos coming and best wishes from the UK.

[@TomMakeHere]

I wonder could these alternatively be turned on a lathe to give stepped buttons to locate instead? The alignment is based more on the spread of the keys than the flat edges Nice work Lyle

[@mrpete222]

Yes, I intend to make a video using the stepped buttons

[@ramsay19481]

I had to make keys such as this when I mounted a Bridgeport vise on a 2hl Kearney and Trecker mill.. The K&T has 11/16 t slots.. I made all of the tee nuts used on the K&T and made them to 1/2 - 13 so that I could use Bridgeport hold down hardware.....

[@mrpete222]

Nice solution

[@keithparady2594]

Good stuff love the videos

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@jmh8743]

my kurt doesnt have bottom slots. always wondered if table slots were reliable. gives me something to ponder.

[@mrpete222]

That kind of surprises me, that it does not have slots

[@udowillkomm1173]

I had a few, which had no slots. On mine, there was enough room, so i milled the slots myself. No idea for the Kurt, you have to look and measure. But if possible, it is a great help.

[@mstoyshin]

Do all vises have this slot? I know if I loosen the bolts on my vise I can slide it around so they must not be in place. I have never checked the bottom. New to milling.

[@mrpete222]

No

[@ironhead65]

Do you have to adjust your feeds/speeds when climb milling? Maybe incorrectly, but as a beginner, I was told to avoid climb milling. Might also be because I only have a mini mill, so not a lot of power?

[@Jmann147]

Climb milling requires far greater rigidity than conventional. Without a rigid setup, best case, there's a ton of chatter and the finish is awful. Worst case, the cutter self feeds and spoils the work.

[@mrpete222]

Yes, read the below comment. That is correct

[@daleburrell6273]

@@Jmann147 Climb-milling is especially nasty when you are running a large diameter end mill at slow speed-!!! ...I found that out the hard way!!

[@ironhead65]

@@mrpete222 thank you both for helping me to understand. With such a small... Less rigid mill, it sounds like if I attempt this, likely better to only try climb milling on the last "spring" pass? Or is this just not worth attempting with such a small mill? Thank you again!

[@BeachsideHank]

I do violate the "no remove" rule on the workpiece from the machine to advantage sometimes. For instance, if I want a precise slip fit of a rod through a faced and drilled work in the lathe I'll loosen the jaws, rotate the work 90 degrees and re- bore again, try for size, rotate another 90 if need be until I get the fitment I'm looking for. Now was that clear as mud? ☺

[@mrpete222]

lol thank you, I like that

Who in the pluperfect hallelujah needs a "blueprint" when we have "our Mr Pete"? Huh? By the time "yuz" could draw one; he's got it built. So who could not love him? Huh? May Jesus continue to bless him with talents and/or gift's that could only come from Heaven; that he so cheerfully shares with any one that has enough sense to listen to him. Huh?

[@MrShobar]

Huh. That's certainly fulsome praise. A true "blueprint" would have white lines on a blue background.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you for that

[@slipspectrum9253]

Well I bought a cheap 2 piece vise on eBay for my 704 mill, turns out it was keyed for 5/8” and I need it to be 1/2” - Kurt wants $42 for two keys when I need 4... 4 silly little pieces of metal that add up to what I paid for the vise itself! I have some 5/8” key stock on the the way. This morning I wanted some background noise for when I was getting ready for work and just so happens I selected this video at random. You would think some hardened key stock was solid gold!

[@mrpete222]

Yes, I know. I priced those Genuine Kurt keys. I was shocked at the price and then made my own

[@remoman]

Why do you mic it before deburring the edge?

[@christopheleblanc9175]

yup ,looking to add a cross slide vice to my wood lathe,to hold a tool holder, so i can make wooden wheels for toys, , so i can create the same function and repeatability insuring diameters are all the same, , hand turning varies too much , + - up to 1/8 from one end of a cylinder to the other, thus each wheel can vary when cut off from the main cylinder , ,,, needed a stepped key to index the base plate to the lathe bed center slot, ,so i do not need to calibrate every time i set on the lathe base, insuring im not cutting a tapered cylinder either , i think this will help me ,,,
