Hello Bob, from an old engineer here in the UK, when you use a collet chuck you should click the collet into the nut first, then screw the nut onto the chuck, the collet should be flush with the end of the nut, it is not and the nut was not holding the collet, the ring inside the nut should click into the groove around the collet. I hope you haven't scrapped the nut, apart from that the pen looked good,

Love the video Bob... nicely done. I didn't read all the comments so forgive me if this was already mentioned. After cutting the threads foe the cap, flip the die in the holder so the lettering is away. The letter side is like a plug tap, first few threads are partial. That's why the cap gets.very snug as you reach the relief... reversing and recutting will finish those last few threads by the relief and shoulder. Lastly when cutting the ten On, take the center drill and go in 2/3rs of the way up the cone,then engage the live center. Will be better supported and ready to drill the 9mm hole. I love that your filming these.. your productions are phenomenal.

They are short and that makes them not to flex. Where you can drill with that first, then you can continue with a longer drill. It will guide the drill by the OD. This way your drill is guided.

I’d make the cap a little longer. Then turn down a tenon between the cap and the end. Part it off at the cap end. Thread the tenon with a die, drill a hole in the cap and thread it with a tap. You may have to turn a small recess in the cap to seat the clip into. Regards, Bob

Hi Bob. Thanks so much for making this video series. I was hoping you might be able to give me a little guidance here. I have been following your videos as closely as possible. I have purchased all of the same tools that you have recommended in your list and am using the same brand tap & die, holder, etc. Unfortunately, I am really struggling with the outer threads. I turn my tenon down to 13mm, but, at that size, my die seems to just cut up the blank, and does not leave clean threads, at all. I have a lot more luck if I go slightly below 13mm (at ~12.7 - 12.9mm), but unfortunately, when I do that, then the threads are too small to properly screw into a cap with a M13x.8 thread. I have a sneaking suspicion that it might be my digital calipers, which only shows 1 decimal place which prevents me from knowing if the 13.0mm that it displays is 13.01. or 13.09mm. With that being said - threading has just been really hit or miss for me. How much tolerance is there for size discrepancies, and are there any other tips you might be able to offer, to help me get better results?

Hi Bob, I truly appreciate your video about the kitless blank and I'm looking forward to the second part of it. Here's one comment on your work process. When you use the collet chuck I noticed you did insert your workpiece in there before fitting the nut over it. That way the collet does not mount properly to the nut. It's better to put the collet into the nut first, then fill it with the workpiece so that you have more threads of the collet chuck to be used. Maybe you're doing it your way on purpose. I feel it's not using the collet chuck to it's full value. BTW it's a beautiful blank. :-)
@RJBWoodTurner7 жыл бұрын
Thank you Jürgen, This is my first experience with the collet chuck so I didn’t know how to use it properly. The second video will be more of me using it wrong since I already filmed the cap. I will correct this in the final video. Thank you, I am always willing to listen and learn. Regards, Bob
@andrewgrover7 жыл бұрын
Bob, you need to get that collet seated in the chuck cap first. When you put it in and just start tightening like that, the collet doesn't get seated in the cap recess. As soon as you started turning, I could see wobble. You can see it through most of the video (TBH I have only skipped through a bit). The correct way is to knock the collet into the cap with a rap on the bench so that it is captured in the cap. Then insert your rod. You'll have much better luck. EDIT: Just noticed others below have made the same comment. Should have scrolled down farther. I made this exact same mistake with my first trial of my own collet chuck a few weeks ago, which is why it was so obvious and fresh to me.
