Production Parting Made Easy

[@fsecofficial]

I just wanna thank Joe and everyone else like him who takes the time to teach us dummies how to keep our fingers. I really appreciate Joe, Tony, Pete and anyone I missed. You guys are a national treasure. Thanks Joe!

[@AlphaBobFloridaOverlord]

I'm impressed that you don't need to turn the machine un-on between parts!

[@mrmichael555]

Unloosen, huh? Well, irregardless 😁😁, I still really enjoy your videos.

[@jamesciampi6392]

You are the most informative poster on KZbin,and a true Genius, wouldn’t miss any of your videos.Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to make these videos.

[@joepie221]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. I appreciate it.

[@mousemade1]

Another great tip Joe, thanks. I have used this for many years and like some of the other commenters here I run a second rod in the setup [when the sizes permit] . I set it so that when the jig is touching to set the tool position the wire is close to the tool side of the bore hole and as parting progresses the wire moves across the borehole not interfering with anything. I use stiff, flexible wire [a piece of coat hanger] and arrange it to enter the hole by 2 or 3 times the washer/shim thickness and to slope down away from the job. This way machine vibrations cause the cut pieces to shuffle away from the working area and the overall speed is increased because you now don't have to manually remove the parts at each cut. Keep up the excellent work!

[@anthonycash4609]

The teacher I wish I had in school. Thanks again Joe. I've said I before the education departments in this world today need more people like you.

[@joepie221]

Thank you. I enjoy teaching.

[@CustomCreations-co-uk]

I had to make a few shims earlier, wasn't very happy with the results so will be remaking them tomorrow with this method... thanks again joe

[@2011zurich]

"Unloosen" is a word my mother would have used. Keep using it!

[@Tapajara]

That angle parting was a cool trick. Thanks a bunch.

[@joepie221]

Small detail, but big time saver.

[@richardfrisbie6069]

I love it when you use the term unloosen, because, as you say, it's bound to piss somebody off!

[@lauriegraham5924]

Slick as snot Joe. I will use that one for sure.

[@EDesigns_FL]

I've just been using that hole on the QCTP for a handle. Thank you for showing us another use:-)

[@offroad6309]

You never disappoint. As somebody starting out and trying to learn all I can, I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you

[@joepie221]

Glad to help

[@samrodian919]

Yep, Joe is one of the great machinists worldwide. Thanks Joe Pie!

[@ShawnDickens]

Just got home and saying hi to my dog before going to make spacers and find this video. Perfect timing, if I don't spend all my time setting this up for next time. Thanks.

[@niltonpolydoro1]

Very nice Joe. It's amazing how much interesting information you share with us. Thanks

[@ericrichards5862]

Great tip Joe, one of the best I've seen. Thanks

[@joepie221]

Thanks. It works very well for repeatable big quantity jobs.

[@glennfelpel9785]

That tip will be just as good for only two or three parts as well. Well worth the few minutes to set up. Thank you.

[@jjfo1980]

This is the exact reason I watch the youtube world. @Joe you are a true legend and cant get enough of watching your videos. Such a shame your so far away from Australia as this is a workshop I would be in awe in. :)

[@k5at]

Joe, Thanks for the tip, This will work well when I'm parting off cast iron rings for my engines.

[@literoadie3502]

Great idea! The mod you made to the tool so the part breaks off clean is priceless! Thank you👍🏻

[@joepie221]

Simple but very effective.

[@RaysGarage]

Excellent time saver Joe! 🤙

[@joepie221]

Ray, Thanks for stopping by.

[@travisaspin]

Thanks for the short format tips and tricks Joe. Always a pleasure to view.

[@the4thj]

Excellent unloosening!

[@BurtonsAttic]

I just got home from a 350 mile drive in which I designed a normal clamp on the bed flip stop in my head. Need it for an up coming project. Get home and this video was on my page. I'm using a multifix, so no hole in the post but I do have two bolt holes on the back side of the saddle for a follow rest. You just changed my thought process, Thanks Joe!

[@jonpardue]

Everything in this video hit a home run for me. Thank you for upping my game. Never noticed that hole on the Aloris too post.

[@snowiethetoolguy]

Great Video as always...I do the same... But add another finger to catch the part up the middle. Then you don't need to use the Allen Key for the part catcher

[@joshuaklingensmith7843]

Joe every time I click one of your videos I always learn something new. Thanks for your time I know posting on KZbin/video production is tough and a lot more than just machining.

[@joepie221]

It really is. thanks for realizing that.

[@geoffnightingale2846]

Outstanding videos Joe. I've been in engineering since 1979 and I'm always learning something. Keep it manual. Old school is the best school.👍

[@TomokosEnterprize]

S W E E T. In school a 1/2 thou was a mistake, LOL. There is no stop for shop made tooling. This shows that in spades my friend. Thanks a bunch teach.

[@jamessherrill3454]

Great tip, thank you! Enjoy watching your videos Joe.

[@minigpracing3068]

As soon as you said work stop, it was all clear. Very useful tips.

[@MPSingh-yp1gl]

That's a simple but very effective way to make odd-sized washers inhouse. I remember using a very similar Lathe setup last year to ready some 40 pcs. of copper washers for an electric fitment in our factory (when couldn't find it in the stores). But here's the difference, I never cared to think that this idea may come handy to someone else too, while you go on and share it to the whole world. Salutes to your selfless efforts, Sir Joe !!

[@joepie221]

Thanks. I hope it helps some of you.

[@Elkyblack]

I'm a tinkerer and do some hobby machining at home. I've learned alot from watching your videos. More than I did when machining in shop class. Altough probably forgot most of it since then ;) Keep these helpfull tips coming. Cheers and thank you from Belgium.

[@joepie221]

You guys keep producing the Rochefort Trappistes 10 and I'll supply the videos. Do we have a deal?

[@ollimakkonen6481]

You sure have some handy to know pointers to give out to us lesser mortals. Thanks again Joe, much appreciated. Cheers from Indonesia.

[@jlippencott1]

Add another (sliding) rod forward of the stop rod that can be entered into the part bore while parting to catch each ring as it drops off. You can set it up to catch a multitude of rings without worrying about losing them in the chip pan. Just push it into the bore before parting off and slide it back out of the way for the next. A small "hook" on the rod end will keep the parts from sliding off the rod. No need to catch it manually and keeps both hands free.

[@chrismate2805]

I like this idea.

[@CraigsWorkshop]

PS: Thanks for including metric versions of your measurements.

[@gmcevoy]

Nice! Thank you for the metric conversions. They really help.

[@joepie221]

It gives some scale.

[@springwoodcottage4248]

Bravo! What a fabulously useful tip, so brilliant and so elegant, quick and practical in using your touch to set the distance. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@dannyl2598]

Thanks Joe. You are one of the smartest people I know.

[@joepie221]

Thanks for that.

[@ronkennedy213]

The force is strong in this one.

[@MaturePatriot]

Yes....Yes it is!

[@tedchambers4381]

every video is a gift that if honest .that we all get something out of . :)

[@joepie221]

Thanks. thats the intent.

[@bostedtap8399]

Brilliant in its simplicity, great tip Joe. Thanks for sharing.

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

Now that is really cool and useful. I got some scrap cold roll laying around, so I'm gonna make me one. I got to make 8. 2 in dia. X 1/4 in thick stainless washers with a 3/4 in hole for a bank vault door. This will make my task easy. THANKS JOE 👍👍👍

[@joecolanjr.8149]

4 videos in a week!! Lovin this!! Thanks Joe!! Always a pleasure!!

[@jimmilne19]

Off to the shop to make one! Thanks for another very useful video.

[@CockatoobirdmanBill]

Joe: At 77 years young I have learned more in the three years i have been watching your vids than i ever did working in shops I hope that I have time lift to use all of them Lol........ I think you need to put your tips and tricks into a book, I know it will sell. Thank you again. Be well and be safe....Bill

[@rinklestiltskin]

Ingenius in the true sense of the word, as always. Never forget the untightening operation!

[@warrenjones744]

Worth the price of admission and then some Joe. Nice tip

[@fredjones7307]

I like the un-loosening bit. Reminds me of a guy I worked with who used to bend things straight...

[@joepie221]

That word always gets comments. I like it.

[@Bristoll170]

Always amazed at how very clever, simple is. Thanks for another great insite Joe.

[@joepie221]

Simple solutions are the best, just not always the first. Thanks for watching.

[@Amaysing79]

Thanks again Joe. This was great I will need to use this setup.

[@mabmachine]

Great, now I have another thing on my to "do list" LOL. Seriously this is so simple but awesome.

[@johnbodmer5645]

Great idea Joe!!

[@richardfuerst5286]

Awesome trick Joe. Thanks. Our snowmobile race program just stepped up a notch. 😊

[@artmckay6704]

Another one slammed right out of the park! Thanks again for sharing :)

[@joepie221]

Born of necessity. Works great.

[@tonyhunt1230]

Great if no DRO, but with one no stop needed. Been machining about the same years as you. Love your Vids !!

[@joepie221]

Thanks.

[@harryhopkins7798]

Thank you! Learning something new with each video.

[@Smallathe]

Awesome! Simple, brilliant, elegant... Great tip!!! what else can we ask for???

[@amundsen575]

Great tip, I cut some thick washers today, I could have used this method. my phase II post does not have a hole, will have to put one in it

[@toolbox-gua]

Great idea, as usual. The beauty of this kind of ideas is tha opens the mind to solve so many other situations. Thanks.

[@joepie221]

Excellent. I had hoped many of my videos did exactly that.

[@danvandertorre6349]

always good info on your channel very useful thanks Joe

[@TABE-O]

Mate love your Tips Joe!! Keep em coming

[@billchiasson2019]

Great video as always! You have a very common sense approach to machining, its great to watch!.

[@ricksparber4286]

As usual, pure genius! Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.

[@GlockG34]

I cringed when you said "unloosen everything", then laughed my *ss off when you said why you loved saying it. Great videos, thanks Joe, I've learned a ton from you & really appreciate it.

[@joepie221]

Stay tuned. You'll hear it some more.

[@joshuaklingensmith7843]

Classic moment

[@casimiriwaszkiewicz8962]

Thanks Joe. Enjoyed learning how you saved on a deburring step by giving the parting tool a grind with a preferential point of contact. Just emphasises how easy it is to lose time on a manual process let alone a poorly optimised cnc activity.and BTW, some say that educational outreach doesn’t pay but I’ve found my best business came from referrals and when both parties win from a transaction.

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Nice setup. You could add a length of piano wire, attached parallel to the stop rod, but going slightly inside the drilled hole to collect cut pieces automatically (it will not interfere with the operations because it will flex).

[@matthewperlman3356]

I really appreciate the videos you do; you are an excellent teacher in addition to your work. Many very practical tips.

[@joepie221]

Thanks. Its been a lifetime of challenges.

[@oldschoolengineer58]

Great Set up Joe Thanks for sharing a great little video

[@DeArmondTool]

Great info Joe!!! I cut alot of Delrin slices just like that and this will sure help. I refuse to run the Delrin in my CNC lathe as I don't want the swarf in my coolant. Neat trick!!! THANK YOU!

[@vernonleeper7788]

I'm liking that little trick, will have to make one. As always Joe, thanks for sharing.

[@joepie221]

Its surprisingly accurate and give great feedback.

[@christaylor528]

Another really useful tip Joe and I like the metric annotations at the end, thanks.

[@joepie221]

Thanks. It's close to give some metric reference.

[@bstanga]

I don't comment very often, but in this case these are some great ideas, especially adjusting the grind.

[@joepie221]

Thanks. You don't have to deal with burrs you don't make, right?

[@derwissenskiosk8041]

I grind my tool this way but i didn't thought about a material stop like this. The best thing is that you don't have to stop as often because you creep the stop near it till it makes slight kontact. All this unil you run out of stock. Great idea :D

[@andrewgiles6192]

Always deliver maximum value with your videos, the hss regrind is probably known to some folk, but I was scratching my head on this exact issue on the weekend, ended up using a noga debur by hand which worked, but wasn't smart

[@cpcoark]

Joe, I would say this one was a Grand Slam. :-)

[@jasonvanslyke5031]

Thank you Joe, for the great tip and the tooling set up!

[@woodndrum303]

Another great idea from the JP special tool tray. When you need it you are going to wish you had made it, instead of drinking a cup of coffee that you didn't really want! Thanks.

[@umahunter]

Nice we were just talking about this hole the other day as I was trying to find its actual purpose what I've got is it's either for accessories or they use it during finishing making the tool posts either way very nice

[@JonDingle]

I like that tip, very interesting stuff and as an unqualified quick-fix-or-weld-it type person I can use tips like that. Cheers!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Great tip Joe. Could you add a second rod to just catch the part at the same time, set in about half the thickness of the part?

[@metalshopwithtroy5755]

Thats another great video joe. Love the production method, slicker than bat shit. Really can expediate multiple parts quickly.

[@joepie221]

This works very well when blanking off parts for future operations too.

[@metalshopwithtroy5755]

@@joepie221 hey i know you hear it often but thank you Joe for just doing a great job with quick replies too. My mentor Cheers troy

[@ironman2232]

That's great...thanks for the ideas. I'm always looking for ways to improve. I'll be hammering out one myself.

[@paulcapotorto2926]

Thanks Joe keep up the great videos Love your work All the way from Australia thank you

[@billrichardson4873]

This one, will for sure be handy, thanks Joe!!!!

[@johnswilley6764]

Thanks Joe! Now I know what my next project will be. And two videos today, I / we are lucky!

[@jeffpitzer8521]

Wow Joe! More gold!... you have now set my expectations so high I will have to cease to be amazed.. gotta go... gotta check my tool post for a hole....

[@kmitchl1]

Excellent video as usual. Never noticed the tapped hole before, however both my Aloris and Phase II have the holes

[@seabeckon]

Thankyou seems simple but some valuable tips.

[@joepie221]

Its always simple after you see it.

[@paultavres9830]

Been planning on making some delren shims all the same thickness wondering how i was going to do it Stumbled onto this video today love it

[@joepie221]

Thanks. I also have 2 other videos on thin shim work in my catalog of videos.

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Very clever Joe - I have needed this tool myself, and didn't come up with a good way to do it. I'll be borrowing this idea! My home made vise stop also looks very much like your parting off stop, so I'm just going to use my vise stop when the need arises. Double win! :-) Cheers, Craig

[@joepie221]

Perfect.

[@ChrisB257]

Brilliant idea Joe - thank you.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Great tips there!

[@jimad]

Genius! Will create this tomorrow!

[@anthonyedwards4423]

Hi Joe. I always skin the end of the piece with my carbide part off then move the carriage the thickness I want plus the width of the tool face. I position my stop on the front edge of the tubing so that it goes inside when I move the tool in and over. That way the stop also catches the pieces. By the way like your vids.

[@donmathias1705]

I have a different quick change tool post that allows me to put two tools in at once. I use my parting tool in normal position and a suitable turning tool in the other, often a square tip one that makes 45 deg chamfers. I set my tools so when I face across with facing tool it faces "hole" and then immediately parting begins. You get beautifully consistent parts, and as a bonus, as it is "power" facing and parting you have time to deburr the hole and both outer edges with the appropriate file. i often part slower than many and am a fan of coolant even though its messy. files and deburring tools don't like to run too fast! I know you "double machine the component, that time is spent deburring so there is not really any lost time. Use this method when making bearing shims when setting up diffs etc. Easy to cheat and get variations by moving before parting begins to get the desired variation.

[@peteramor7373]

So simple yet so effective Joe Another one for the book Pete UK

[@christurley391]

Thanks again Joe.

[@tomhall7633]

Looks like I'll be making one of these this morning. Thanks

[@strangefruit8776]

That’s a good idea. I know most people would probably use an indicator on the ways to measure saddle travel and do the math but if you used an indicator in place of your stylus of your work stop you could indicate each washer to thickness you’d just want to turn the spindle off between each one but it would save you having to do any math.
