This week in the manual machine shop I’m helping out some old friends. When I was at the University of Kentucky, I was on the Formula SAE (Formula Student) team where we designed, built and raced with a Formula 1 style race car. The main competition we attended was at the MIchigan International Speedway, and included many performance based aspects like an autocross style endurance race. As well as engineering design and cost evaluations. Just as was the case when I was on the team, the new team was looking for help in whatever form possible. So I’m lending my machine tools and the little knowledge I’ve built up to help make the front wheel spindles. They are made from 6061 aluminum and connect the wheels and brake rotors to the car through tapered roller bearings. There is a lot of machining involved in these but I’m especially excited for all the glorious lathe work. Already I can see a few side projects creeping up. Enjoy!

Aye! Currently on K-State’s FSAE Team as the Chassis and Engine Lead. Was watching this as I’m actually about to head to our shop to do some last minute SES work before I head home for Christmas. Alumni are a great resource and have helped us out a lot too. Glad to see you’re willing to help these guys out too. I’ve talked to them a few times at competition and they’re great people.

As a former Formula SAE team member, I relate to this video a lot. Having a sponsor like you must have stoked the Formula Kentucky team members. I remember the wheel hubs and uprights as particularly challenging parts to source/machine. As a former FSAE team member yourself, you must have enjoyed helping them with this project. Keep on machining! Love your videos

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! I know every little bit of support we got back then was a huge deal. It was great to be able to help out the team again.

[@kentdurham2716]

I must say, very very nice job. You must have a small fortune in just the tooling to get things done. This a great place to drop by and relax for a few. Thank you for sharing!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks for watching everyone and also a special thanks to the Formula Kentucky team for not only allowing me help out with this year’s build, but also for letting my relive an old past time! I had a lot of fun making these parts and hope to see everything else come together in time for competition this summer!

[@andrepradokrav]

Can't belive you made part of Formula SAE. I am a former Formula and Baja studend as well here back in Brazil... Just starting to build my own shop for hobby... you are a great inspiration!

[@ehiebert1297]

Thanks for the video. Just a suggestion if you are going to machine aluminum again, is use high speed steel or inserts designed for aluminum. The inserts you where using are for steel. Used lots of Kennametal inserts over the years, using the right insert makes the job go better. Find a local dealer and not ebay, local people can help advise you about the inserts that are available, and get better price. High speed steel is the inexpensive way to machine aluminum.

[@vincenzo6412]

On another machining channel I saw someone add a spacer between the head of the mill and the body/stand. Might consider doing that if you have the setup to get it done properly. Will add a few inches of vertical work height for projects like this. I'll find the video and link it.

[@vincenzo6412]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqbalWNjo7GZorM At 6:45 he is removing the spacer. He talks about it at other points in the video as well. His space is quite big but for your purposes it seems like counter acting a good portion of the lost height when using the rotary table and chuck would be good without running into the issues he discussed in the video. According to him, to large of a space creates tool length issues and also an angle issue when tilting the head.

[@HairyNumbNuts]

The chatter was probably mostly due to using the wrong inserts. Aluminium wants sharp cutters and those *looked* like standard steel inserts. It went away with the grooving tool as it was HSS and would, I assume, have had a nice sharp edge. You won't get the chatter in aluminium most of the time as it's damped by being closer to the chuck, but you had a big chunk hanging a long way out there with minimal jaw grip.

[@John-ot8rw]

I knew that part in the thumbnail looked familiar! I'm on the Formula Kentucky team this year working on the powertrain subsystem. We're building momentum in the manufacturing phase now and the car should be complete within the next couple months. Awesome to see where some of the parts come from!

[@TheBookDoctor]

It's always so refreshing when a maching channel makes something that's not another shop tool or fixture! Don't get me wrong, those are fun too, but it's nice to see people making actual stuff.

[@CameronWebne_or_Shadeslayer]

Thank you for your help with this project!!! It means a lot for our team!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Absolutey my pleasure! Looking forward to meeting you all!

[@kahnwolfe9548]

My grandfather was a machinist for AO Smith in the late 40's through the 60's. So this channel speaks to me in a way that most people can't quite understand. I very much appreciate this work and the beauty of it even though I am not a machinist myself. Also I see the spam bot has invaded the channel trying to hijack people's information. KZbin seriously needs an algorithm or something of the sort that could pick up on 20 or more reply posts on the same video with same context and auto ban said accounts. But who are we kidding, KZbin couldn't possibly make a complex system like that.

[@InheritanceMachining]

I'm glad you like the channel. Thank you! And yeah I just caught it and flagged that spam account. No idea why YT doesn't have that automated.

[@TheAruruu]

Really? You want KZbin to use another algorithm? Have you seen what "The Algorithm" has done for monetization? or recommendations? In all seriousness, a fairly basic screening system would be quite nice, and wouldn't need to be that complicated. Instead of outright blocking flagged comments, it should "hide for review", allowing the content creator and/or moderators to review the comment before it's publicly visible. This way the scammers and bots can be reported and removed instead of just being cleaned up after.

[@tjh44961]

I can relate as well, my grandfather was a machinist at Sperry Gyroscope during WW II, supposedly making parts for the Norden bombsight. I wouldn't know, as I came to that information years after he passed away. I came to hobby machining through an independent path, the live steam hobby. But my dad was at our house watching me turn a part on the old Atlas Craftsman 12" lathe I had at the time, and he told me that my grandfather would have been proud of me, as everything I had learned about machining up to that point was self-taught. I had to stop working for a moment, as everything got blurry -- I must have gotten something in my eye, even though I was wearing glasses... 😉

[@markshort9098]

There's a scambot on another channel that leaves the same message and WhatsApp number while trying to impersonate the channel owner and I've reported them every day along with a bunch of other people for 10 months now and KZbin still hasn't deleted their obvious scam channel.. it's become very clear that KZbin fully endorses scambots

[@3Hose]

@@InheritanceMachining About a year ago I saw where a guy had devised a program to detect and report spam bots and released it for free. There was a user version and a creator version (or maybe functionality for both within the same program, it has been over a year). So, users as well as creators could easily report spam bots. It looked like it worked VERY well with very little false positives. I used it on a few channels to see how well it worked. KZbin never banned those accounts, that's right, the exact same accounts were still spamming in the same channels after being reported. I also never noticed and of their comments being removed either. I guess their ad revenue would suffer if they removed the bots. 🤷‍♂

[@jobkneppers]

For the chatter; buy some polished positive rake aluminium inserts. The cut like butter with low cutting forces. They are great to use on such a nice project. For the chatter with the large radius formtool I usually make the final cut by turning the chuck by hand using lots of cutting oil... All the best, Job

[@C.Paul09]

I did not expect to hear about formula SAE on your channel. Ex-member of Romania's FSAE team BlueStreamline, worked on many departments (engine, chassis, brakes, transmission). Been an awesome experience in Spain and Croatia. I recommend it to absolutely anyone who is freshman in collage, you learn way more than just classes. Awesome content !

[@InheritanceMachining]

I couldn't agree more! Thanks

[@imajeenyus42]

Awesome work! On the chatter, stuff the bore with some rubber tubing or a bicycle inner tube, really helps to quieten any vibrations. Also try a ground sharp insert for aluminium, takes much less pressure to cut and less likely to chatter.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Good tips. Thanks!

[@shawnwilson9812]

I was just gonna suggest rubber tubing. I keep a selection of rubber bands and tubing in the box for thin wall projects.

[@rebmcr]

Would a live centre in the tailstock have helped with this part in particular?

[@shawnwilson9812]

@@rebmcr Possibly. Based on the work I generally do I tend to work from the inside out (sometimes even when it’s not the best order of operation) As a result I’m constantly looking for ways to reduce chatter in thin material.

[@katanamd]

That's a good idea! I was thinking a rubber strap around the od, like they use on brake drum lathes.

[@RockyPondProductions]

Good video man. My old school has a Baja SAE team that provides a great opportunity to students. Unfortunately like a lot of schools my old university loves talking about the Baja program for their marketing but never goes out of their way to provide them with money for the projects. It is up to the students and dedicated staff to raise thousands upon thousands to get a car to competition. So if anyone is thinking about giving back and donating to your university think about directly supporting the clubs that need support. They provide the most important engineering experiences and are so vital for kids early in their careers.

[@InheritanceMachining]

This is very well said. And true. Thank you!

[@HansMaximum]

I just want to say, I found you a few weeks back and crushed through all your videos. Incredible. I was itching for more. I love your story also because it hits a soft spot for me and my grandfather's woodworking shop. I also bought a house that was filled with old veneers and marquetry tools. The estate didn't want to clear it out and I was so happy for a new hobby. Keep up the great work!

[@InheritanceMachining]

That's very cool! Glad you got a chance to work with your grandfather as well. Thanks so much for the support

[@primo2611]

This is the best show on KZbin. The fact that you are a racing fan makes it a million times better. Thank you

[@stuartholden2652]

A trick to "maybe " get out the chatter you fought on your first try is to use a piece of thick flat rubber that you have to fold to get it into your bore. As it tries to flatten out it puts pressure against the walls and can reduce or eliminate your vibration.

[@Dextro1945]

I little tip for the vibration I learned from a lathe-guru back in the day. You can get one of these thick rubberbands which are like 3/4 inch wide and wrap it around the end of the part, near the chuck to stop the vibration on these big parts.

[@GuyonaMoose]

I appreciate all the manual machining and hand ground tools you make. Our shop is a hydraulic repair shop with almost no production, even with some CNC equipment we still dp most work on manual equipment and make alot of our own tools/tooling. We still hand sketch and draw prototypes on a notepad. Yeah a bit Cavemanish but we're still in business while most other repair shops have come and gone. We also have same issue with metric threads on our large lathe (keep half nut engaged)

Way back in 1967 while at a mechanical drafting trade school in Milwaukee we drew so many parts, most of which I had no idea what they actually were, other than the drawing title. Once thing that was totally lacking in this study was offering us some opportunity to learn how such parts are made. This would have been a time when everything was pretty much manual machining. It is so interesting to watch how you made these pieces.

[@BruceBoschek]

Makes me want to go back to college and take engineering instead of the major I did: philosophy. My nephew just finished up at the University of Missouri in Columbia with a degree in mechanical engineering. He was part of the 1/4 scale tractor pulling team. What a cool thing to do. Great for giving back. Sourcing materials and getting assistance was a big part of his work. Especially getting someone to laser cut a few metal parts. On top of it, the engineering building was closed at the end of the semester because of the sprinkler system started leaking. So his capstone project was held captive. He managed. Great work as usual.

7 minutes in: I think its tool pressure/sharpness. Those inserts are for ferrous materials? The groove cutter didn't cause noise because it looks to be sharp HSS. Try inserts for non ferrous, they're usually a lot sharper and require less tool pressure from the machine before they start cutting. That or switch to HSS and make all your own tooling..

[@LectroSaw]

HV, your are right on, sir.

One other thing, TiN coated tools (ie. the yellow ones) should really not be used in aluminium. The coating reacts to the material which bonds/sticks to the edge. Same with coated drills and endmills etc.

I was part of an FSAE team for 3 years. The struggle of finding a passionate, meticulous person for any kind of help was hard enough, more so if we were looking for a machinist. Congratulations for the help you provide and the quality of your work.

[@InheritanceMachining]

This is always a struggle for sure. I was more than happy to help how I could for that exact reason. Thanks

When I was taught metalwork in trade school many decades ago, we were taught to radius corners by rocking a file, so that you start and finish with the file parallel to the entry and exit surfaces, rocking the file in a counter-way, while moving the point of contact in the reverse direction, in between. Don't follow the curve around. Try it, and you'll see that although it is counter to how you might think you should file a curve, it makes it easy to produce an accurate radius with no flat spots or areas of incorrect curvature.

Please build more race car bits this was absolutely fascinating to watch

[@JanschiGames]

You are exactly what all engineers should be. Someone who understands exactly how parts are made and who knows what is possible or not, and in the case of it being not possible how to make it possible. All the tools that you made so far, already gave me some ideas for things to make myself. You are teaching me stuff I would have never learned in the apprenticeship I'm doing right now and most people say our german apprenticeship method is already top-notch, so this is saying something.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Wow. I really appreciate that. Thank you

[@michaelrosenlof1084]

Your combination of project build quality, perfect narration and outstanding videography is a treat every time you post-Thank you very much and happy holidays to you and yours ✅👍

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you 🙏 Happy Holidays!

[@hsjawanda]

Gorgeous spindles 😍😍!

[@davidjohn2663]

Amazing machining, well done!!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you!

[@autotek7930]

Those are gorgeous. There's just something about machining that gets my blood pumping. I've ran some cnc machines at a factory that made oilfield fracking bits. That's nothing like what you do but I still got that feeling of satisfaction turning those raw blanks into something shiny and perfect

[@christophercastor6666]

Been watching your channel for a while now and enjoy every second of it. I received my machining baptism at USF BajaSAE (called minibaja then) and the first year of the Bullsracing FormulaSAE foray. Miss it, the team, and the sense of community that came along with the builds and competition. Biggest shame: walked the tailstock chuck out so far that I snapped the twistdrill and launched the chuck down into the chip pan. I shit my pants and hit the lathe brake and ground simultaneously. Thought I was dead. My teammates picked me up, said I would never make that mistake again, and had me Chuck up a new twisty and finish turning the dozen bungs needed for frame fab. I loved it. Thank you for digging up the memory! -CYCastor

[@InheritanceMachining]

Lathes are scary as shit when things go wrong 😂 But yeah I have a lot of fond memories and long nights with the team doing what we thought was the impossible. Nothing really like it these days. Thanks for sharing!

[@christophercastor6666]

@@InheritanceMachining You can say that again! I propose an alternative to “nothing like it”… Last year I organized a group of high school students with zero Robotics experience and no mechanical skills to build a robot and compete in the FIRST Robotics Challenge. It’s the closest I have come to reproducing the SAE experience. Today, I took some of those students to KickOff for the 2023 season. The game was revealed to us in an auditorium filled with students from all over our state and to thousands of others around the world. It feels exactly like it. Stretching rules for loopholes, learning out of necessity, determination, triumph and failures are all here. FIRSTinspires if you’re looking for a rabbit hole to explore…

[@InheritanceMachining]

@@christophercastor6666 That's really awesome. I might have to see if any of my local schools have anything like that. Could be quite the time investment but also sounds really fun. BTW, this reminds me of a movie called "Spare Parts" that is based on a robotics competition. Based on a true story too.

[@Kevinpol83]

Man as a young machinist who primarily runs cnc’s. This video definitely made me appreciate them more. Manual machining is a very skilled trade, that many would not have the patience for

[@xLIVEDz]

Pleasure to watch. I've looked at the design process of parts like these from the side, still too inexperienced to contribute to them myself but eventually I'll get there and then some.

[@davidcannon2806]

I had no idea where you going at any point. Loved every surprise along the way.

[@JB-ol4vz]

Thank you for all your explanation during the operations, I'm learning so mutch. Cheers from SWEDEN

[@InheritanceMachining]

My pleasure. Thanks!

[@t0mn8r35]

This was a very interesting project.

[@paulwhiteman3625]

Wow, your skills are very impressive indeed!!

[@tdg911]

As always another beautiful part.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks!

[@mattevans7068]

As a former FSAE student, congrats! Always nice to help out the team.

[@mattevans7068]

And for that pesky chatter on our thin aluminum parts, we would pack some clay on the ID!

[@isaacandpatigreene8625]

This video had me smiling the whole way thru and teleported me back in time to the UC Bearcat Motorsports FSAE machine shop. Such a cool project... I should call those guys... Merry Christmas to you!

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 We had a couple interactions with the UC team back in the day! Merry Christmas!

[@leaghokeefe1132]

Fantastic as always. Very nice work sire

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you!

[@baldugzo5387]

Beauty in everything! A talented person. Good luck, health, peace to all!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you!

[@matus1976]

That was a true work of art, such a pleasure watching that. I'm in the middle of making some spindle / hubs for my recumbent motorcycle project. I ultimately decided to farm out the machining. After watching this video - I'm glad I did. Otherwise I'm looking at a dozen side projects and a few thousand in more tools.

[@InheritanceMachining]

😂 Thank you!

[@MarcKulhavy]

Your videos are one of those I click on immediately to see them. Currently, there is no better machining on the net for me to watch, enjoy, and to learn from. Thank you and keep on going!

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 Thank you!

[@anujpatel1603]

Current Fsae student, love your videos!!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Nice! Thank you

[@johngarza424]

Watching you man, at your craft is satisfying. The precision and dedication and pride you take in this is well, bad ass lol. As an electrician to another tradesmen, keep up the good work, watching machinist and japanese carpenters at their craft for some reason relaxes me at night before bed. They're accurate and precise and make this stuff look easy but I know it ain't and I know it takes hours to master

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Thanks for sharing.

[@MrLukealbanese]

Beautiful work
