[@housekilla457]

The aspect of “need a tool, make a tool” was always something I enjoyed about metal working.

[@howardosborne8647]

Crafty old fox technique here. I never thought of forming a square or rectangle in round stock with this method. If it was silver soldered or brazed it would have near as much integrity as if made from a solid piece. Today,I found myself enlightened by an old school shop teacher👏👏

[@waynespyker5731]

Silver soldering is a great idea. I think I would widen the slot width above the 1/4" square opening to 0.315" for a 0.312" filler blank. EDIT 1: The 1/32 land on each side establishes the 1/4 opening, any silver solder closing the opening would need to be filed away (silver solder tends to fillet radius sharp corners and gaps per your supplies and torch skills). EDIT 2: A dovetailed filler slot could be endmilled above the 1/4" opening with a reverse taper one lunger cutter for silver soldering a dovetail filler piece. Any sidewall could be drilled and tapped into the 1/4" opening for a setscrew(s). No cross pins, HSS blank or aluminum shim would be would be required. This procedure could be used to form an opening across the diameter with a 1/4" wide slitting cutter in a Bridgeport. Shop made boring bar?

[@howardosborne8647]

@@waynespyker5731 I think the technique I'd use would be raise the end mill to half depth in the slot and machine an extra few thou from either side of the slot. That gives you the ideal gap for braze/silver solder fillet but leaves the lower half the slot tight on the insert piece for accurate location. It would also prevent any silver solder from running through into the square hole area.

I loved how you started the video with "you can buy a $150 broach or use this method", then ended the video with "you can build this with twenty thousand dollars worth of machinery or just buy a $150 broach"

[@riccardoscavo8485]

Pure contradiction in turn. Why spend $150 when you can do it for less! But, you need to spend $20K on machinery first to do it! That sounds a bit Irish to me. So go and buy a $150 broach instead giving you a saving of 19,850 a bargain

[@andyg.8971]

A rose index costs $149 - same price as the broach

[@larrythompson2967]

As a long retired machinist, we never had a "rose index", we had to make do with a V block and angle gauges.

[@northchaser5163]

Regarding the loctite on the inner surfaces of the insert. That would actually help pretty substantially. As a general rule (or so my mechanical engineering professors told me), adhesives are most effective in compression and shear stress scenarios, but less so in tension. Trying to slide that insert out would be pure shear which would be among the ideal scenarios for an adhesive. Additionally, all that extra surface area would distribute the force too (meaning less shear stress) thus it would take even more force to break it out.

[@normtheteacher5485]

I now know what a rose index is. Of course the manufactures and retailers of rose indexes never make videos like these for the public and they are supposed to be the ones that inform the public about their products. Thanks for doing what they should do.

Yep. Those "Old Machinist's" were a "Tricky Lot". One thing my dad, "They call me a 'Tool Maker', but not by 'East Coast' standards" said [we're from New England] at the shop in Santa Monica, Ca in '62 was that if you walked away from the machine, back off a 0.001" before you start in again because everything has cooled down and changed dimensions. He did this on an old, non-numerical read out, manual (dial only) Bridgeport Mill and could work +0.00003"/0.0000.0" tolerances all day long.

I am thinking that most folks that would need to make a square hole are probably already in a machine shop. So, then we are talking about shop time versus shop expenditure. There is often a conversation (with yourself or others) whether it is cheaper to buy it (money), or cheaper to make it (shop time). Since my shop time is my own, I often defer to making it just to keep up the skill set, learn something new, etc. Nice job!

I like that rose index. Clamped a vee block on and worked off of it more than a few times, combined with a protractor I have cut splines, 6 spline pto stuff for farmers. That rose index much easier. Nifty.

[@mikegraham7078]

My approach would have been to slit the bar horizontally and mill out the two half-pockets inside then weld it back together and turn it to look pretty. This method doesn't require welding, so that's a benefit for some. I suppose a much more patient person than I am could drill a round hole and file it with a square file.

[@mrc1539]

Wow, around the block twice , two county fairs and one dog and pony show , but never seen a Rose Index . 🤔 . Gotta have one now .

[@erikisberg3886]

Great way to do it! I would use silver solder it to give similar strength to a broached part. One big advantage of the demonstrated technique is that it works for odd dimensions and bottom holes. Silver solder is one of my favorite materials when building prototypes. Also this way may actually be easier than broaching or odd geometries such as angled holes.

Mr. Pete proving once again there's more than one way to skin a cat! That keyway reminded me a couple of years ago I was using a 3/4 ball mill in the Mazak held with an "inexpensive" off shore made holder. When I turned around the endmill had sucked out of the holder and nearly cut a 200 lb. plate of 4 in. stock in half! Needless to say the holder went for a nice flight toward the chip hopper and we now use a nice Lyndex holder for that job! It cost about five times as much but we've never had another accident. I love my job!

He explicitly commented on doing this instead of purchasing the relatively expensive broach for a one-time use.

[@paulhunt598]

Well Mr. Pete you completely stumped me until you showed the filler flat stock. I needed to replace a broken zinc casting and the part included a square clearance hole. My replacement part stock was aluminum. I drilled a nearly on size hole and then made a single point broaching tool from a broken solid carbide end mill. I took very small bites using the mill quill with 5 spindles off to "broach" to each corner. I used the round hole tangent as my end of cut gauge. My tool was crude and didn't get me fully into the corners. X and Y axis table movements controlled my depth of cut and kept my edges square. Hand filing dressed the part to size. My clearance tolerance allowed for some hand filing error. I felt pretty smug about my method, because it was novel to my experience, and it worked well. I still feel snooty everytime I use my vintage Powermatic drill press depth stop, because this is where the part lives. Your method is wonderful and I would have employed it but made the replacement part from steel. I like the silver solder suggestions if stress strength is required for the application. I am like many other commenters in that I have never seen or heard of a Rose-Index. You introduced me to two brand new shop solutions. Is your square hole solution your own idea? TOT showed a rotary broach or maybe it was called a rotary square hole drill. That tool was fast and looked like magic. My entire machine shop career never employed any method other than dedicated square broaching. We had multiple dedicated broaching machines. I have never use a key seater or a filing machine, but I suppose these could speed up the square hole process. Right now I like your solution for the one off part in a shop with only a mill and lathe. You are brilliant!

Nice job, next time when you edge find go from the rigid jaw you will find it more accurate and once you find the jaw you can use your zero for quite awhile, you could also use a 1/8 endmill to spot for the holes then use a 1/8 pin with a slight straight knurl and just press fit in place and forget the locktite, if you are going to use it for holding a cutting tool the locktite can come loose from the heat and that won't be good.

Another way is to take a piece 1/2” round stock and mill a 1/4” slot in it length ways. Drill a 1/2” hole in 30mm stock and slide slotted 1/2” piece you milled and set screw it and the 1/4” tool your trying to hold in place.

At first i was doubtful but after explaining its versatility , sold American. Nice job.

This was a very informative video. Thanks for showing the Rose Index. This is a terrific solution. I can only imagine how many other types of tools can be made by leveraging the concepts that you just showed us. You are a wonderful shop teacher... so keep up the good work. Cheers for an excellent video... It was very interesting (definitely NOT boring)
