Monday Night Meatloaf 116 P2

[@chrispalombo6394]

Tom, I have learned a TON over the years from your videos!!! Gratefully said.

[@stephenwagar2663]

Dear Mr. Wizard , We Have Missed You ! I Remember Having Meatloaf Only On Mondays . But Now My Body Has To Adjust To Meatloaf Whenever .Its A Good Thing I Like It So Much !!! I Have Watched Every Video Of Yours On KZbin An Cant Get Enough..Best Regards

[@BuildSomthingCool]

I REALLY LIKE YOUR VIDEOS. YOU EXPOSE ME TO ALL KINDS OF GREAT STUFF. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK,

[@chrisleech1565]

please don't shout, we aren't deaf :-)

[@nowayjerk8064]

YEA ME 2!

[@artmckay6704]

ditto that! :)

[@stevencoldiron3335]

Tom, I learn something great every video. Thanks....

[@63256325N]

All great tools the chuck especially. Thanks for the video and good to see you.

[@bcbloc02]

The Tom Lipton square master looks to be very handy. I need to build a 6ft model for tramming in my mill. lol

[@eddietowers5595]

If I may, your stuff is never boring. Also, if you will allow me, every one of your videos is very comprehensive, informative, and educational...just the same as o can say for Rob Renzetti, Abom, mrpette, etc. and I thank you for your informative service.

[@Abom79]

Lot's of great stuff Tom. Enjoyed!

[@ddcd53]

Really a great very informative video. You never cease to amaze me with all the knowledge you have. I had never seen the automatic chuck or the spring winding tool before. Thank you for sharing all of this with us. Dan

[@benwood90]

That auto chuck is a thing nightmares are made of :P loving the videos none the less.

[@ke6bnl]

I picked up 2 of those wahlstrom chucks with a bunch of other items for a few bucks at a garage sale and was able to get one to work and love the chuck. started to not grap correctly and the springs around the chuck jaws go twisted, was able to take it apart and straighten the spring. Use it regularly in my variable speed drill press.

[@jefferdman5921]

Thanks, covered a lot in this video. I will be interested in your progress on the Brown and Sharpe. I have an 824, bought it at auction and as of yet have not started to get into it, seeing your work is helpful. Thanks Again!

[@HKCNC1]

Thank you, Tom, for your wonderful videos. If the first bushing that you showed is tight like it looks like, you can drill it and use air pressure as an air bearing , just like end mill sharpeners.

[@haroldsprenkle4173]

Trepanning dammit. Did a lot of it. Save materials. Old shop teacher didn't believe me, chucks of cored aluminum bronze. 13 inches, grab onto 1/4 inch and start boring and parting. 15 inch swedish chuck was good, maybe 3/8 not 1/4 chucking , But still not very much, turn, bore and part. Spring winders, 2 jobs later, was working for potter. He had one of these gizmos, we figured out it was a spring winder but we were just down the road from the world's biggest wind winders. Leggett and Plattt. Love your videos.

[@hunkeyehunkeye4601]

just the right mix of SCARY ( trepanning tool chips grabbing your brush, changing sharp tools in a spinning chuck and , scariest of all, coil spring making) and FUN ( everything else). thank you again.

[@OldIronMachineWorks]

Tom, Always look forward to your videosThank for taking the time to do them.

[@davidtrader-fu6iw]

I don't know if you will see this 4 years later, but our whole maintenance shop was set up through DoAll by the turnkey contractor. DoAll mill and 2 lathes, bandsaw, surface grinder, measuring tools, etc. All to support a food can mfg production line. We had the round lapping plate you show in the catalog. (Monday Night Meatloaf 116 P2). I lapped carbide draw pads for a die set with it. I charged it with an acid brush and dabbing a little on each square and then rolled it in with a large dowel pin. Dave

[@robertstredde6798]

Well, that was timely! I ended up with a whole pile of chucks that came with a lathe I purchased at auction recently. The pile included one goofy looking chuck I didn’t know what to make of, and haven’t had time to play with. Now I know it’s a Whalstrom automatic! Can’t wait to fool around with it tomorrow!

[@johnbodmer5645]

Tom, I like your idea for making one's own square master. Thanks for the video.

[@blacksiddha]

Great to see you back.. missed you mate... and missed my meatloaf lol. Cool video thank you

[@SootySweep22]

I love hearing that music at the start of a video. It means awesome.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

You have some great ideas going there. I have used a Walstrom chuck in my wood working drill press for 30 years, they are great, just not in reverse, they will auto release the tap or drill. Thanks Tom for sharing.

[@AtelierDBurgoyne]

Randy Richard In The Shop I am not sure I understand. Auto release and not just in reverse? Thanks!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

If you try to tap with one or use a left hand drill or just run it in reverse the chuck will release your tool. They are designed to operate in the CW direction only.

[@AtelierDBurgoyne]

Thanks! I saw another video where the chuck is used to power tap but the catalog does not mention tapping so I am confused. kzbin.info/www/bejne/anOUmpSDjbuAla8

[@zumbazumba1]

Interesting tool for spring winding -i used to do it by putting two peaces of wood in the toolpost and feeding wire trough it while machine was running.Spring pitch was determined by auto feed pitch.

[@twistedupright8697]

the geometry of the cutting tool would be great info! Thanks for all the great videos.

[@glennfelpel9785]

Tom, long ago they had a wire winder like that one at work. They would always make the first full revolution or two by hand before starting the lathe. That way you will get into the grove so to speak. Thank you for showing this :-)

[@johnferguson7235]

Cool tools, Mr.Wizard. Thanks for posting. THUMBS UP

[@northtustinsteamworks5172]

Welcome back. Missed your show these last two months! :D

[@hdheuejhzbsnnaj]

he's finally back in action with a tasty batch

[@MrShobar]

The Wahlstrom reminds me of those old sliding type quick change tool holders we'd sometimes use on the Burgmaster. Brought back memories. Thanks, Tom.

[@juanrivero8]

Hjorth was a lathe and accessory manufacturer somewhere near 1900. They were right next door to Rivett and in fact they were buddies with Rivett and often shared workforce. See *The Joy of Precision* channel. The spring winder is interesting to me because I got on a chain-mail kick a while back. FIrst step is to wind up wire into a helix, which you then cut into links. My lathe is not slow enough to mechanize this so I turned lathe by hand. Fun stuff.

[@59jm24]

Thanks for the inspiration, I have wanted one of these for a while. I found a 1 ¼" adjustible linear bearing and an 18 inch Thompson rod on Amazon. Both for around a hundred bucks

[@ls2005019227]

Tom, great content as always. AWESOME work on the "Home Shop Squaremaster," I had mentioned in a comment a while ago that there had to be a simpler/cost effective way for us mortals without a Squaremaster to quantify squareness; you're well on the way. Re: Granite work bench w/ cabinets.....Robin built the deluxe version. That spring winding tool was interesting, didn't know something like that existed. Kinda reminded me of TOT's spring building episode. Thanks again!

[@rosserpace3602]

Been missing my Meatloaf, thanks for the double order.

[@chrisstephens6673]

What ho young Tom, those Valcut gizmos are dead easy to make, I made one years back after the Kilroy showed his. I'll send pictures of mine to your Email address. Happy Easter young man c PS. just uploaded a video to my chamnel for you to see the tool and as a bonus a machinists novelty.

[@msquared6324]

Hjorth...pronounced like "horth". The J is silent like the P in swimming. (Lol). Great meaty loaf Tom, keep em coming! Cheers

[@craigs5212]

Nice video, when you get done with the traveling square you will have to build a copy of Dan Gelbart's granite way percision lathe.

[@bugrobotics]

Awesome meatloaf as usual! I need to add a table stop to my Micromaster as well. I currently ride the sketchy train by adjusting the table and throttle lever to the point where the X-axis handle just disengages to prevent me from running into the wheel with stationary setups.

[@udowillkomm1173]

I´ve seen chucks, which didn´t work because the grease was dry. That may have been the fix with this chuck also.

[@googacct]

A magnifier I have found useful in my shop are dental loupes. You get good magnification, but have a longer working distance. I often use them when cutting with my bandsaw saw. I can get right up to my layout lines and minimize grinding and filing.

[@StraightThread]

Where do you get them?

[@googacct]

Do a search on amazon for dental loupes. They will not be as nice as what the dentist uses, but adequate for shop use.

[@turningpoint6643]

Real Dental and Surgeon's loupes take somebody earning what they do to even go looking for a pair. :-) Better be sitting down before checking out the new prices. Think my dentist mentioned $1600 or so when I asked her what they cost.

[@Jondamnit]

That Auto Chuck is a pretty Slick item..! Thanks for the view and demo.

[@BROCKWOOD64]

Glad to see Tom posting videos again (hopefully with greater frequency than of late)!

[@pijnto]

In Australia we have a government organisation called safe work , that drill chuck would give them all heart failure

[@douro20]

I'd imagine they're worse than OSHA here...

[@notbrucewhitham8070]

Good stuff Tom, always enjoy your goings on. Trepanner looks interesting, like you I'd love to know the geometry as that is one of the keys. that shonky 4 jaw chuck challenge chuck on the surface plate just doesn't cut it for the super accuracy. I know you put the shaft in it just to press my button knowing its probably full of dings from the past two trips down to Stan's haha! the quick chuck is a great tool for one only operators, in most shops they manage to destroy them. Go well I'll be in touch.

[@AJKandK]

Tom, Stewmac is the company. The guy you're referencing is famed Luthier Dan Erlewine. Harbour freight sells a cheapie that has a hinged overlay on the inside of the bill. I bought one as a backup when the opti-visor is not handy. It works pretty good but the main drawback is that the lenses are cheap plastic which is a magnet for stray floating scratches to stick to.

[@bobbyw9046]

Hey Tom, Just watched an older video from Adam when you sent hime the cooler with the (strawberries - lol) silly string - HILARIOUS!!!

[@mikesmathers5752]

Excellent video, Tom!

[@josephwilson6651]

Always fun times with Dr. Lipton's magic machining extravaganza

[@brunomezadri]

Very nice content, Master. Thanks for sharing! Hey, I think I've spotted a leftover handle from the "Ships wheel" video.......

[@MR.KNOWITALL1982]

Tom, Great stuff! I just bought the exact same Micromaster Machine today for 400.00 and it works(looks great too). I would love to see what your doing to your Machine on video!! Love your channel man. Thanks

[@andregross7420]

Tom, I'm sure you noticed that that drill chuck has 4 jaws instead of 3. You can also use it to drive small taps. Mine sounds the same.

[@AtelierDBurgoyne]

Andre Gross when tapping, can you run the chuck in reverse? Does it operate in reverse and hold the tap?

[@andregross7420]

AtelierDBurgoyne I do not know. My drill press doesn't reverse and the chuck doesn't fit my mill.

[@AtelierDBurgoyne]

Ok, thanks. I was under the impression from your post thst you had used the chuck to tap. Daniel

[@andregross7420]

AtelierDBurgoyne I have, but just to drive the tap. Then I back it out by hand.

[@swanvalleymachineshop]

why is the lathe trepanning tool set below centre ?

[@EmmaRitson]

cool! i have a Herbert chuck like that, but its for MT2 drills. love your videos.

[@MikeBramm]

Gotta love leftover Meatloaf. Thanks Tom. 😉

[@johnmcdyer7297]

There’s more in your head than you can take out with a comb tom thanks for another great show

[@GusBird]

Ever side the handle of one acid brush into another to create a longer, double-sided brush? Keeps your hand a little further away from the chuck/chip.

[@noelhenderson700]

Cool use for an old cupboard hinge.

[@johnalexander2349]

Could you post a higher res pic of that toolbox please.

[@davelewis3963]

LIked the whole video, but the spring winding tool was the best!

[@jorgensalomonsson6739]

about that ball buching -if you make a collar to stop the pipe from going to far?

[@dannymaciejewski]

So Tom and Robin hey? Bit of a bromance going on I see. Great vid Tom lots of very interesting content!

[@c5h5nino24]

DoALL just had an auction at their facility south of Minneapolis, MN. The facility is known as Continental Machines which manufactures their bandsaws. they are down to only a handful of employees at that location. All of their machining centers, inspection equipment, etc. got sold. Cool place to tour.

[@Frikkinitz]

In Savage MN, I believe?

[@c5h5nino24]

Yup, pretty sizable place.

[@Hardturnin]

Very sweet grinder Tom.

[@krazziee2000]

very cool video, thanks ,,

[@zanechristenson3436]

Can anyone explain the idea behind sweeping left to right with the comparator given you are changing the distance between the indicator and the surface swiveling it on an axis? This one throws me off

[@bsharp55]

Do you mean Dan Erlewine from StewMac? I've been to that site 100s of times & I've not seen a video from Stewart MacDonald.

[@NekitaNet]

That Apollo support division placard is very nice :-) Lapping plastic with diamond, do they do that? I would guess you can use a slight abrasive that's just water or oil carried but is much softer then the granite lap (unsure what kind of abrasive that would be though!). Guessing they would lap stuff like aircraft cockpit windows with it?

[@billyc2572]

NekitaNet as an aircraft mechanic i did apprentice work in general aviation prior to commercial transport. During which i repaired scratches in those very windshields. I used something called Micromesh. Fine fine fine abrasives. I have a piece of 4000 grit that feels more like leather. I still have my box of Micromesh. I can lap anything with it really. But commercially made for acrylic aircraft windshields like on a small Cessna

[@icesoft1]

Some cars and trucks (late 80's?) have a serpentine condenser for the AC system, that uses a flat aluminum extruded tube with dividers - which could be useful for a flood coolant nozzle on a grinder...

[@ExtantFrodo2]

Wouldn't a linear rail squared true to it's base do just as well? What's the benefit of sweeping?

[@richjohs5727]

can you put a photo of the DoAll Apprentice and Master Tool box contents on your Instagram or Facebook page? I can't read it when I pause the video...

[@haroldsprenkle4173]

Hey, have done a lot of preplanning in an old Gisholt turret lathe, we just eyeball ground the tools and went for it. As Melvin said, we are making assholes for hobbyhorses. Actually we were making Vickers hydraulic components, air gauged dead nuts stuff.

[@MrZavrie]

At the GM plants that I worked at each each Tool&Die maker had work benches like that "(your talking in excess of 20 tool & Die makers in each plant.

[@nothermarkgnomex]

Good to see you back posting. Suggest you go to one a week to get back in practice! ;-)

[@Quignal]

Tom you need to turn the spring winder over and then it'll behave as it is meant too!

[@russkepler]

Forgot: Valcut is a Swiss outfit owned by George Val, website here: www.valcut.ch/ Nice tools, I have one of the mill cutters. There are some details on the tools on the website including radius.

[@liaschinko]

Hi Tom Lipton. My question for your lapping process , so where lapped surface can use i mean in which machine or part of machine ?

[@enzowilson345]

Dam, where's MY freekazoid wrench !?! Lol

[@ytnjw]

I'd have though that, because the trepanning tool is cutting below centre, the DRO will not give an accurate reading. Have you checked the size of the resulting hole? OK, I know you didn't calibrate the tool very accurately, but you might get some idea.

[@mausball]

Tom, looks like a tweaked version of the SquareMaster Stan uses. Very nice! Can't wait to see the rest of the build, and then maybe a square-off between yours and Stans Mitutoyo at the nest bash?

[@peteferguson7024]

When will we see you try to weld with those springs? :) Been too long since I had meatloaf, thanks for cooking up a batch!!

[@jimnolimit]

about the traveling squareness comparator, if your side to side sweep is an arc, i wonder how do you get an accurate reading?

[@dennyskerb4992]

All right Tom, enough of this shit! Let's get back to finishing the intaglio etching press.

[@geraldrourke5499]

SPI makes these opti-visors with a second lens on the inside!

[@k5at]

Tom, does the catalog have a "Master Flat". I bought one from the machine shop that was going out of business. Sure would like to have more info on it.

[@twwtb]

You could use a couple of small, strong magnets to hold on your extra magnification lenses.

[@BNSFfan1996]

What impact do scratches have on an optical flat.

[@SootySweep22]

I suppose you could use a dremel to add a chip breaker to that trepaning tool bit.

[@geraldrourke5499]

i use a VIDMAR on wheels with my starrett pink granite on top of it! Last weight check was 3350 pounds!

[@martineastburn3679]

The cutters cut the spring wire off so you don't disturb the first windings. Cut clean....

[@whitehoose]

I like the visor - they're better than the magnifying lamps in my book. Is it just habit that you look to have made your aux holder out of armour plate? I'd have thought part of the challenge would be to make it as feather-lite as possible. I do something similar with reading glasses (which only seem to go up to 4x). If you choose wisely, stacking 3 or 4 pairs together using paper clips for hooks isn't as ridiculous as it sounds. Only trouble is when soldering at 16x it''s so easy to burn your schnoz or get high on flux fumes. I was at an antique fair last week - the guy wrangling watches had an elaborate windmill of lenses clipped to his glasses, it looked very much the part.

[@PeregrineBF]

I'm young, 20/20 vision. I have a visor like that. Much cheaper than a trinocular microscope for soldering tiny electronics components by hand. Not as good, but still necessary. Mine's a cheap visor, about $8, with a folding dual magnification system. The smallest components I usually end up using are 0201 (Imperial) or 20 thou x 10 thou. The smallest regularly available are 008004 (imperial) or 9.8 thou x 4.9 thou. Those really do take a good microscope to work with.

[@natevanbynen6595]

Need to have standridge make u a granite cylinder for your traveling square comparitor :-)

[@MakinSumthinFromNuthin]

Cool stuff Tom, enjoyed :)

[@393strokedcoupe]

Good thing it's not one of those fully semi-automatic's!

[@turningpoint6643]

LOL, if it was then news crews would be showing up at Tom's shop and explaining to the uninformed about the new high powered death dealing drill chuck they "discovered" due to exhaustive and "in depth"' investigative reporting. If your life is somehow B.S. deficient for the day just turn on the news for an instant refill. :-)

[@russkepler]

I'm pretty sure that MSC bought SPI back when they were in their "let's take over the tool supply industry" phase.

[@sp1nrx]

Yes, SPI is a subsidiary of MSC. It's listed in MSC's subsidiary listing. It think they took over in 2011... the HQ of SPI moved to Orange County from Los Angeles...

[@JohannSwart_JWS]

Hey, Stewmac is the McMaster of guitars player and luthiers. They sell top class tools, fixtures, and all guitar related materials and tooling. Bottom line - its not a guy named Steward :-)

[@rodeo11]

Tom, the person at StewMac who you’re referring to is Dan Erlewine.....not Stewart MacDonald.

[@bsharp55]

I guess I should have read farther down the comments before making the same point.

[@elcuhhh8761]

The tool list came out blurry

[@billdlv]

Good stuff Tom

[@Panzax1]

If you're going to do trepanning on a lathe that is not the tool to use (unless you get it for free). Iscar and sandvik among others have great inserted tools for that.

[@agwhitaker]

Re : spring winding - whatever gadgets, shop aids, funky stuff you have, You will probably need to take several tries before you get one that works.
