Metal shaper knurling with the rotary table

[@fasteddie4107]

That tool against the lathe spindle was a pretty slick trick. Great video. Thank you.

[@stilljazzed]

Blown away! Really enjoyed your project. Thank you for explaining and showing the insider’s camera views!!!

[@SteveSummers]

stilljazzed Thank you, I really appreciate it 👍

[@gatekeeper84]

Beautiful result on the shaper, apparently removing material gives a better finish than moving material as is done in traditional knurling. Using the same method you can make gears on the shaper if you can grind a tool to the correct profile.

[@ThisOldTony]

nice clean work! and can't wait to see the planer! ;)

[@stevewalston7089]

+This Old Tony - Left-handed metric planer even

[@rodfrey]

I totally didn't think of that, and it totally is exactly that. Now I'm totally all atwitter.

[@markjustus7998]

Thank you for the videos. Not a machinist, heck, or even a hobbiest...just enjoy watching people create.

[@JBFromOZ]

Getting even more mileage out of your Time Machine eh TOT?

[@ls2005019227]

This Old Tony - I originally thought planer too; but Rucker and Storrick each have one so I discarded the idea based on his "no one else has one" comment.

[@German_MDS]

Nice little project! The aligning tool with a bearing was my first job ever when I bought my lathe, simple tool but super useful.

[@SteveSummers]

Yeah great 1st project. I use mine all the time

[@paullitrop256]

looking forward to the surprise machine.

[@dlwilliams76]

Very cool. Good luck with the new machine.

[@CH-pt8fz]

Totally agree you are only limited by your imagination , this was one of the lessons I learned as an apprentice. Another one I was told by an old boy he said " remember every day is a school day" hope get the machine.

[@VintageMachinery]

Nice job. It turned out looking pretty cool!

[@donaldshulman6771]

That was a great technique on the shaper. More than just your imagination! Hope to see more. A 7 hour trip - this better be a good machine!!!!

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Nice job Steve. Wish I had time to play around in the shop. Seems like I am always backed up with projects.

[@JamesDedmon]

Neat deal. Sometimes we either make our own tooling for either time or money reasons but when can put the time in to make the items better looking than made by the original because we can put the time in to do it. That is why we are in the hobby

[@MarkATrombley]

The bearing trick with the lathe was new to me. Thanks for that.

[@bigdawgsbusa2]

Nice Steve, today at the engine shop I told the owner the same thing, that one is only limited to his imagination. I'm not afraid to try something new, it's taking awhile but he is coming around to new ideas to use in his shop, good luck on the trip hope to see a new toy for the shop soon.

[@RGSABloke]

Wow Steve, this video really allows the imagination to go wild. (as Brian said). I guess these machines have virtually unlimited potential and so, so rigid. I can see Adam Booth and Mike Wiggwns' are going to have lots of fun and good experiences with their shapers. Thanks for sharing. Kindest regards. Joe.

[@Musicalbullet]

Very cool! Amazing what a shaper can do with a little imagination 👍🏻

[@jimzivny1554]

Knurl looks great. Its always nice to make your own tooling

[@JBFromOZ]

I reckon the inverse depth cut of the shaper cut instead of the constant depth of a knurl is doubly-cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@brianwalk108]

love this video, great job!

[@bcbloc02]

You are only limited by your imagination! :-) Good luck with your haul. A 14hr trip is going to be all day for sure!

[@SteveSummers]

bcbloc02 Going to be a long day on the road. Everything is good so far. Way down in Tennessee at the moment👍

[@shadowdog500]

Congrats on the new piece of equipment, I can’t wait to see what it is!

[@RookieLock]

Cant wait to see the new machine/equipment! That knurling turned out awesome !! keep up the great work buddy!

[@tuscanland]

Believe it or not, I'm so fast that I can tighten the chuck jaws as the chuck is spinning. Hey, great video, hope your travels go well.

[@PracticalRenaissance]

That came out looking pretty cool, looks a bit like an actual knurling wheel!

[@jefferdman5921]

Interesting use of a shaper! Looking forward to finding out what is coming.

[@juanrivero8]

Very nice. I suppose you are technically broaching the knurl .Shaper can broach, and I do something very like it on my tiny Taig lathe, having built a 60-hole index plate. But I can't do 45 deg knurls. Good luck with your new tool.

[@camatbattler2233]

G’day Steve, love seeing individualisation on projects. This is what sets your tooling/equipment apart from others. If you’ve got the gear, expand on its capabilities to make something unique. Cam

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

It looks great. Journey safely.

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

You are such a tease! I can’t wait!

[@markstokes2401]

Cool, never thought about doing stuff like that on a shaper

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nice I like it.

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

I like trying unconventional stuff all the time, if for nothing else just the experience. The knurl looks good. Drive safe!

[@somebodyelse6673]

That's a nice look with the varying cut depth. If you do one going both ways to make diamonds, I'd like to see the end result.

[@lookcreations]

Hey Steve nice job on the knurling, that filming must have taken as long as the cutting with all the angles . Stay safe on your road trip and hope the deal works out for you and the shop. All the best my friend. Mat

[@SteveSummers]

lookcreations Thanks Matt👍 It's gonna be a long day on the road

[@PorkBarrel.]

I though you were going to turn the other way to make diamond pattern as someone else suggested. Very intuitive!

[@mcawrse]

It has to be a metal planer. I had a chance to pick one up, but what would I use it for? I wondered what I would do with a shaper, but after watching a bunch of Steve's videos now I want one of those...

[@zachaliles]

You probably get a lot of compliments on your equipment, but I just wanted to say I love that shaper vise.

[@ricklane9135]

Safe travels.

[@braddles345]

Guessing it is a rotary surface grinder, that would be pretty awesome!

[@PorkBarrel.]

Blanchard? Ya!

[@MatthewTinker-au-pont-blanc]

Did you know that diamond knurls are for tightening things and straight knurls are used on things that adjust! Cheers, Matthew

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Well I drove 13 hrs one way for the Hardinge.

[@SteveSummers]

Randy Richard In The Shop That is more than I could handle Randy, my buns turned into toast😃 Thanks for the Scribe👍

[@gregkernick9073]

Shit now. That a teaser Steve can't wait to see what you get. Travel safe mate

[@kunjikorans]

Very nice

[@jimsvideos7201]

What if you built something akin to a lathe steady rest to go around the chuck on your rotary table to support it directly? You could make the base of it to mate up with your t-slots.

[@mrayco]

Really good

[@grntitan1]

7 hours one way to get a beauty shop hair dryer for drying your beard. That will be a really neat addition........LOL

[@Opinionator52]

Imagination for sure... Thank you for sharing! :o) O,,,

[@saschaoswald480]

Love watching your interesting uses of a shaper! Is there anything you can't do with it? If you're getting a metal planer I will die of envy. It'll be on you. Maybe a Monoset T&C grinder? Either way, have a safe trip, don't haul anything bcbloc02 wouldn't haul...

[@paulatkins894]

Someone beat me to it. A Holtzapfel lathe? I thought your tool was negative rake. Maybe a more aggressive angle would be smoother? Nice job.

[@seery188]

You wana 👍, you got a 👍. Cool video

[@ChirpysTinkerings]

pretty neat, I hope your trip goes well and that you can get your piece of machinery. Im guessing a metal planer or surface grinder :P Also, if you have some round tool steel, you can make your own knurling wheels using this method.

[@kejay74]

Perhaps 'crudely' on the wheels. Keep in mind that the cutter is cutting deeper in the middle than at the edges of the round part. True knurls of a pattern such as this would require coordinated motion of the cutter AND rotary table to keep the depth of cut uniform. Good thought! Keep thinkin' & tinkerin'! ;

[@ChirpysTinkerings]

yea, I was talking about straight knurls like he had on his thumbwheels that were on the original tool holder nuts. Another thing that would be cool is something like his triple start knurls that he did on the tap holder he did a while back.

[@Gkuljian]

And here I was expecting you to run a knurler over a flat surface. That might be cool too.

[@jusb1066]

i thought thats how they made files! , well i found out they dont, the press in the grooves one a time to make a burr

[@eovdubsvw8743]

New Motto: Steve Summers, Shaping the world, one piece at a time.

[@kejay74]

Better yet, 'One Stroke At A Time'... LOL! O' course the old adage still abounds...You can make anything with a shaper...except, money! ;

[@CraigLYoung]

Amazon! Had no idea you could do that with a shaper. Ok Abom let's see you pull a rabbit out of your hat like this. Have you ever thought about reversing the 45 degree to form a diamond pattern?

[@jusb1066]

or just make them out of tool steel and use them as knurling wheels in a lathe....:)

[@CraigLYoung]

Barry Manilowa or McMaster-Carr.

[@mog5858]

i guessing ether a vertical sharper/ sloter or a EDM. keep up the good work

[@1jtolvey]

ROCK-ON !!

[@udowillkomm1173]

If you want to be really shure it´s running true, you can push the part with your ball bearing over the point, where it´s running true, and pull the bearing slowly back. That gives you a guarantee, that it is running true.Now, you need to build a mechanism, which turns the 10 degree on the rotary table automatically between the strokes.. :-)

[@houseofbrokendobbsthings5537]

Such a tease - seven hour drive and no direction clue. Good luck and hope it works out. _Dan_

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Nice job Steve! Let me guess you are getting a Crystal Lake grinder? Steve

[@1bmwrider]

I believe it is a 24 inch discombobulator.

[@machiningpaper]

Straight line engine? Triple roll mill? Wheeling machine? Off the arm sewing machine?

[@OldIronShops]

have you ever seen a tracing attachment for one make all kinds of interesting shapes that way

[@ruperthartop7202]

Sounds interesting. What can it be

[@elcuhhh8761]

Make a gear for your next video 🤔

[@infoanorexic]

now add a j.b.-from-oz gear cutting attachment to that and try some helical gears... ;-)

[@JBFromOZ]

diggerop ill even supply a set of indexing wheels if Steve would like a set!!

[@stansmith2099]

thanks for demo Steve,but you did have me concerned with that lose clothe over your shoulder,while working with moving machinery.

[@mightymalikie]

stan smith the loose cloth wasn’t as bad as the long sleeves on the lathe Seen the out come of what happens it those get caught

[@tamedmachine]

Ornamental lathe?

[@tomclark6271]

Noth'n gets done, except cookies.

[@dennislee444]

planer ?

[@grntitan1]

Seriously, my guess is a Brown & Sharpe Screw Machine. What do I win? Matt

[@Денис-н1д3ю]

Когда очень хочется поработать на строгальном...

[@paultaylor9414]

I was afraid the machine wasn’t big enough for that job haha

[@TraditionalToolworks]

I smell a planer...

[@lizardkomodo]

But why not a lathe knurling? It is faster and easy way, if you do not need strict requirements to size or shape.
