SHOP TIPS

[@danbreyfogle8486]

FANTASTIC, you showed me what locking the dial looks like. I have never actually seen a mill in person so that really helps me visualize what is going on. Now on to part two (sill you tube suggested part two first, I learned to count at a very early age, they are still learning, grin)

[@paulstropkey4516]

Great video, I enjoyed it 7 years ago and have made several tee nuts sense than and yet I enjoyed the video again.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@davidduffy9806]

Mr Pete, if only my teachers had been half the teacher you are.... many thanks

[@N6MKC]

I just bought my first milling machine and the rotary table I bought as an accessory has different size t-nuts, so making t-nuts for it will be my first project. Your video will be an excellent guide for me!

[@mrpete222]

+Jason Atkin Thanks-glad it helped

[@capnjacksparrow1]

Its great for young budding engineers to watch how to make a simple item like a T- nut and be taught in the correct manner.

[@salvatoremicale7746]

very good like to watch you. you talk very clear.some are hard under stand.love watching you keep them coming sal

[@Katov2]

Thanks Mr Pete, I have signed up for your courses and I'm enjoying watching and learning, Cheers Richard from the land down under

[@kerrywil1]

another great and appriciated video. thanks for the time doing it.

[@aryesegal1988]

Thanks a lot, Mr. Pete! Always a pleasure seeing a video from you.. :) Looking forward for part 2

[@larryleek7141]

Hi, Mr. Pete, I just found out that the Joliet, Illinois Caterpillar Plant, which once employed 7,000+ people, including myself for awhile, closed completely and for good in 2019 and moved operations to Monteray, Mexico. I Find that very sad especially since the company now employing 7,000+ people in the Joliet area is Amazon!

[@ShuffleSk8Ter]

Hey Tim reason for not climb milling is yes it will pull the piece into the cutter (because of feed screw backlash) can break cutters etc... but we should let mr pete reply

[@shopdogsam]

,,,, very well done, great lesson,, awaiting part two

[@MrToolsofrenewal]

I was surprised that you climb-milled at about 7:40. I made a bunch of T-nuts this weekend, starting with going from 0.750" to 0.700", and I just assumed conventional was the way to go.

[@MrThumper1440]

mr pete, wonderful videos...thank you. wondering what would make you use the end mill bit size you used versus using a larger end mill in which you would be able to take the rough cut sizes in one cut(rather than 3, which I think you did with your Y axis cuts)?

[@not2fast4u2c]

Some of Enjoy the chat when the teacher is teaching Us !!! There may be something Important to learn Mixed in with all the chat Sorry you disliked this

[@not2fast4u2c]

Thank you Sir for another Great project video

[@19441978]

Very informative and straight forward info as usual.

[@rcp916]

I really wish I would have taken advantage of the great machining department/courses at my community college back in the late 90's. When I graduated from high school I attended J.C. for the automotive program and shortly after I left there they terminated the machining program all together! They still have the welding tech and auto program but lost the machining. Sold all but one lathe, mill and Cnc machine probably for the professors that work there. I attended the automotive machining courses which gave me great familiarity with machining but I want to learn more. I will be purchasing LFE courses. (As soon as I buy a lathe) I got out of the auto industry and own and operate a small concrete pumping business today but I bet I can pass off the purchase of tools such as a lathe and mill to my wife as a necessity! Haha, it will be just for my own fun though. Thanks again for the great videos.

[@mrpete222]

+rcp “rcp916” pop Thanks for watching-its never too late to learn some more

[@DrFiero]

Any advantage or disadvantage to using a fly cutter vs an end mill in this type of application? Max cut per pass maybe? Rookie learning here! :)

[@ydna]

Large flycutter would work okay, just have to be sure your workpiece is securely clamped in the vise. (it's easy to apply too much cutting force with larger cutters like that)

[@themainproblem]

This was a great lesson. Thank you. You don't seem to use much cutting fluid, would it not extend the life of your tooling? And do you resharpen your bits and if so how do you do it?

[@davidendres7808]

I am a novice but would it be quicker to use a fly cutter to bring the job down to the 500/600 thou just asking for your feedback I have just bought a Bridgeport 8 mill for my hobbie shop

[@mrpete222]

I doubt it. I consider fly cutters for finishing work

[@paulfoxharp]

how did you determine the initial dimensions? i.e,, how much clearance to allow between the nuts and the slot.

[@iiinsaiii]

Love it! Keep them coming. Great job

[@shadowdog500]

Thanks for the video. I just spent the afternoon making T-nuts for my drill press. Out of curiosity how long did these take you? I probably have 5 hours into mine. This includes the time removing mill scale from the steel to cleaning my mill and putting everything away. I tend to putter, but I never thought this would be a 5 hour project. Chris

[@mrpete222]

+shadowdog500 Not sure, maybe an hour or two

[@madaboutpix]

Another great video! Thanks for your lesson!

[@AstraWerke]

A fly-cutter can't take away that much of metal in one pass, they are usually only used to do finishing cuts to improve the surface finish, not to take away some serious amount of metal.

[@DOTdirtbiker]

Hi mr Pete thanx for the teaching vids. I hope not 2 ask too much, but not sure where to find, and I was wondering if you could help. I have purchased Bridgeport knee mill. I think it is M head with 1/2" something. It uses no. 2 morse taper with drawbar at 3/8-16 thread. So I need aforementioned (#2morse, 3/8-16) male adaptor to #33JT drillchuck shank. And adaptor #2male morse taper w 3/8-16 drawbar thread to 5/8", and/or 3/4" straight shank end mill holder. I hope this makes sense to you. I will ask Keith F. also. Thanks

[@401401Red]

hey great video on these t nuts for your drill press. i am currently in school to become a machinist and i am picking it up pretty quickly. im actually in the process of making 123 blocks right now, so my question is we have a couple of formulas we use at school for tool speed depending on material but when i do the calculations the rpm always comes up way too much and i have to cut my speed in half in most cases. can you elaborate a bit on speed and feed for working on the mill ???

[@mrpete222]

Thank you--I hope to get to that in a future video

[@401401Red]

thanks mr pete222, i was actually offered a chance at an apprenticeship to become a toolmaker so keep the videos coming, i learn a great deal from them !!!

[@honeybadger7320]

Thank you for posting these. It's getting harder to find "Masters" willing to teach newbies away from the internet. I thought I knew a thing or two about working in my shop. I see that I have a long way to go. I tried to get tot the TFE website mentioned but no success. Has it changed URL's or has it been removed? Thanks again.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching--not sure about the website

[@musaepadumbratus2326]

Same here, no website. Ditto on the comment!

[@daleburrell6273]

Honey Badger And it's a doggone shame that there are fewer and fewer people who have those skills, and there seem to be fewer and fewer people who are even willing to learn those skill...

[@KyHighlander59]

Was this before you installed the DRO on your Bridgeport?

[@nutwiss]

Just enough chat. That's how you teach. Feel free to listen and learn.

[@DrFiero]

Oh, and I did mean for doing the initial reducing of the stock. Obviously the notches need an end mill.

[@axelec]

Did you say why you did not start with .500 stock to begin with?

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

+axelec Yes, in fact he did.

[@vincechoraszewski2394]

Have you have a sorce in michigan?

[@coffeefish]

Your right, and that was probably rude of me.

[@NeonGreenPage]

Tubalican, are you on owwm?

[@moustachemike7128]

i would think a fly cutter would cover a larger surface cut..

[@ShuffleSk8Ter]

Mr pete your climb milling!

[@litosk84fun]

i love machining

[@AstraWerke]

How about a File? :D

[@2aklamath]

Why not touch the work with the machine turned off and using the quill then zero the dial back off the table and your bretty close +- .001

[@JASCOBAR]

I go to machining school at MCC - Business & Tech at I-435 & Front St. in KCMO AND I go to mrpete222Tubalcain's class at KZbin University.

[@galbar-or7851]

There's still a fb page for LFE: facebook.com/LFEcom/ But I don't think the company's still around.

[@mrpete222]

No, it is failed. They were too lazy to take down the Facebook page

[@galbar-or7851]

Thank you for the informative and detailed videos

[@190012]

Yeah he should have climb milled that pass,guess old people forget things more easy.

[@onetech3984]

tipped cutter would be quicker!!

[@madaboutpix]

you should be more respectful of great teachers . do you know more than him? i would like to see how you would have completed the same operations on your mill and take the time to explain to everyone else in a more enlightening manner. Showcase your infinite genius instead of attempting to degrade another.

[@TheSiriusProject]

Hi Mr. Pete. I was surprised how much of this tip I remembered when it came time to make my own T nuts. Thanks for the info and inspiration. I posted a video of my T nuts for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maO7fIidmNRqhNE
