Shaping a Tapered Bore Internal Keyway

I have a shaft hub with a tapered internal bore requiring a 7/8" keyway so I put the shaper to work doing this task. Works excellent!

140 strokes!!! That machine running 140 strokes per minute would be terrifying!

[@michaelmccarty3395]

I’m a retired master machinist of 40 yrs. in my early years I had the pleasure of cutting internal key ways with a shaper on couplers just like this. Not many of us around with that skill anymore. Really enjoyed you video. Very professionally explained and professionally executed. I miss them rewarding days.

[@jameschikanya2711]

Wow. Great thing to hear this from you sir. 🙏

[@quinka2]

I have 50 years as machinist/toolmaker Adam, and you impress me totally, glad I am subscribed. Your a top machinist Adam, kudos to you! Thanks for all your videos.

[@Abom79]

Thanks Frank 👍🏻

[@timothyball3144]

My favorite things about my favorite KZbin machinists: Abomb79: his precision K Rucker: his technical knowledge K Fenner: getter done All three are great machinist and their end result will always be the best for the job. I don't want to take away anything from any of them, since I learn so much from all of them and they are all such good people willing to share their expertise. I just wanted to highlight my favorite parts of each of them. Thanks, Adam for all of your videos.

[@jrb_sland5066]

Over many, many months[15?] I've watched your shaper go from a rusty wreck with broken feeds, filthy oil, etc to a fully restored working machine doing useful work. Very well done, Adam - a true pleasure to watch an expert at work. I learn so much from your videos !

[@jlucasound]

Jay Leno is impressed.

[@BossmanEight]

Where would my Saturday nights be without my Abom79 fix?

[@mdwdirect]

You are so natural on camera. It's like watching my big brother teach me something. I'm the oldest of 4 sons so that is a unique feeling. Thank you!

[@spidersinspace1099]

Love your videos Adam. Thanks for taking the time & effort to produce and share them. The quality is superb.

[@jeffreypfeifer862]

Beautiful to see the old G&E shaper working it's magic again!

[@pewster31]

I have no idea whats going on. I have no urge to start work like this, but damn your videos are so interesting I cannot stop watching!!

[@thebmac]

The machine wasn't really running, Adam was actually pulling and pushing the arm forward and backwards and manually feeding it up. What a beast!

[@DanBowkley]

So that's how he's losing so much weight!

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

A man could get some deep sleep with the rhythm of that shaper ...Thank's

[@jryer1]

Meticulous and PATIENT methodology produces high quality components. Well done Adam.

[@scottcarr3264]

Well done Adam, I used to use a large Butler Shaper when I worked at B.H.P Steelworks, Tool room. Brings back memories. Today they say, "CNC's can do anything" I'd like to see how they could do an Internal keyway in a tapered bore, and get it anywhere near as good as you did with an "Oldschool " Machine.

[@123Shel12]

I was worried about how close the keyway cut came to the outside of the part. But when I saw the other side of the part, I remembered the interior hole was tapered. Nicely done!

[@ruperthartop7202]

Who said shapers are old retired. From what I have seen of them the surface finish is good. The speed is ok too. Also for such an old machine, to take 0.001" off a surface is amazing. Great job Adam

[@Rubbernecker]

Another beauty! I've said it before and I'll say it again: The shaper is such an impressive piece of machinery and so fun to watch!!

[@philbohrman3918]

I appreciate your can-do attitude and your approach to your projects.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

I miss doing this all day. Thanks so much for taking me back to work. Retirement (Forced from injury) really sucks.Thanks so much for your posts. They take me back to better days my friend. I live to make chips and great pieces like this. PS, , , Your shirts are looking a bit big ! Well done fella !

[@K2WH]

I know very little of machining but watching your videos for years now and with the proliferation of CNC technology, yours is a fine art. I enjoy watching as you measure up and execute a plan.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Your attention to detail and precision never fails to amaze me. Happy new year to you and your family, Adam.

[@onionkeeper]

Expertly done! Such an nice machine tool, I've been enjoying your series of videos on it. I have an old shaper I wish I could save somehow. Our workshop is going to be bulldozed to make way for new apartments, so sadly I have to let it go, hopefully to a new home and not the scrapyard. Never got the chance to hook it up and learn to use it. I now realize it could have been put to good use. Great to see people appreciating these old machines!

[@userwl2850]

As we say in Sheffield... " nowt like a good old un" that was poetry. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍

[@johnlanham9057]

I’ve been with you on that shaper since the initial pick up for delivery to your shop. It’s a Monster and I love it so much!!

[@snaprollinpitts]

thanks Adam, I really like the way you show us every little bit of your setup. thanks mike

[@dav1099]

Great job Adam, Always amaze's me how a machine that is so heavy can be adjusted to do such fine detailed work. thanks for posting 👍

[@chieft3357]

I'm amazed every time you do something on your shaper. I've watched from the first time you brought it in the shop and did all of the restoration to it. It seems as if you and the shaper are a pair not to be separated. Great work.

[@irandom419]

Thank you for showing the indicator positions on the shaper. It helps me to understand how you are achieving your accuracy.

[@tutekohe1361]

Great video Adam, super high quality. Your videography is as well done as your machining. Your clear and plainly spoken narration matches the video perfectly. Camera angles are ideal and the job seemed a simple one, but required attention to detail. Your whole presentation here is an example to everyone of how to make the perfect KZbin video. 👍

[@iiredeyeiiredeye1569]

Adam I've spent many years working in the Motorsports industry in the UK as a welder/fabricator/ sheet metal worker. I have worked with several old school Manual machinists from yesteryear, each of them brilliant at there job. I have to say that you are right up there with them though. With out doubt you are the best manual machinist I've seen on KZbin, and your shaper is definitely one of the best machines on here to...Keep up the good work man!

[@ellieprice363]

As always, beautiful precision work and excellent photography. Thanks Adam, for sharing with us.

[@MrSinner86]

Haven't watched many videos lately. Dude you have lost a ton of weight! Looking good! As always great video. Thanks for the shaper content. That thing is pretty cool

[@BruceBoschek]

Watched this just before bedtime. It's like a bedtime story so I'll dream some sweet dreams of chips flying through the air. Thanks Adam. Wishing you a great New Year! I'm sure it will be for you, with upcoming plans.

[@1Seedoftruth]

Love seeing you do your work with such precision very relaxing 👍🏿

[@ramaroodle]

I'm a woodworker and there is just something very sensual and satisfying about running my hands over a finely sanded and smooth project that I have applied finish to and completed especially when I know there is a joint there but can't feel it. It seems akin to the feeling a machinist must get when he runs his/her hands over raw steel after turning and polishing.

[@madmodifier]

Fun video Mr Booth! Thanks for all you do! The shaper work keeps me motivated to get my 1900's 20" standard Cincinnati shaper up and running.

[@johndonlan5956]

I've never seen anybody use a shaper as nicely as you do Adam..... You really bring out the fine art of the machine!

[@phillipjones3342]

Fantastic shaper build Adam and the part turned out great Love watching you and Keith do your thing

[@elchuco00]

Big Bertha done it again! Love watching you do work on this shaper and taking pride in not only bringing her back, but also doing great work with it!! NICE JOB MY FRIEND!!

[@Muttlydog45]

Another top notch performance by the Master.... Thanks for sharing Adam, its a real pleasure to watch you and learn....

[@loganpe427]

Adam, dude. I think it's a forgone conclusion that we'll like the video... Especially shaper vids! 😁🇺🇸👍

[@28gwdavies]

I could watch the shaper all day... what a brilliant machine. I hope you and Abby have a great New Years Eve and a Happy and Prosperous New Year from me and my family here in England UK.

[@jimposey3963]

Adam it’s a pleasure watching you do machine work. A man that knows his craft! Thanks!

[@nottyash100]

I have not seen a shaper being used for years, good job, nice to see that there are still some of the old methods still being used good luck to you.

[@chrisbuschendorf3155]

Enjoyed watching that. Its been a very long time since i have run a shaper. Or much of any manual machines these days. Computers have taken the skill out of the trade. Watching your show takes me back and makes me miss doing this kind of hands on work. Keep up the good work. I enjoy it

[@metricstormtrooper]

Adam, I have learnt so much from your videos and I have learnt something new today, many many thanks.

[@6NBERLS]

That was the most difficult setup I've ever seen. Incredibly well done. Huzzah!

[@michaelalberson126]

And again you are the first I have ever seen use the shaper. I have been around a lot of and did a lot of machine work and the shaper May be old school but it is a must have in a shop like you work in.

[@Contango1000]

Adam. Thank you! Somehow you filled 2018 with some form of energy I could tap into via your videos. They do say that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. They are of course wrong! Shared happiness is double happiness. Let’s continue in 2019. You share, I double! 😘

[@Contango1000]

Happy new year buddy.

[@dr.rumack7668]

Love seeing this machine in action. Just love it!

[@alt-w7130]

Love the way you explain your work in detail. Happy New Year 2019

[@neillsmart213]

Good to see the old way being used again. Thanks for your videos :)

[@adambacon8874]

Nice job. It's amazing how accurate you can be with a shaper. I really like how the bar turned out!

[@timothyhartsook2389]

My nephew lived there in Penscola and he loved this type of work,keep the videos coming.

[@patrickroeill8746]

Great job Adam thanks for sharing your talent with us

[@kevinreardon2558]

I"m never going to own one of these machines, but thanks for letting me into your shop and watch you learn how to use it. Granted, you're no novice, so you show me the basics that apply to all machining operations. I'm getting more and more accurate with my existing tools too, so thanks.

[@AMRosa10]

27:06 The Shaper, being too cool for school, is blowing perfect smoke rings.

[@jasonblewis]

Perfect job for the shaper. In fact I can’t even imagine how you’d do it without a shaper. Nice work Adam

[@Havib]

Excellent work Adam, honored by a swiss precise mechanic engineer.

[@petrixgames3402]

Good afternoon Adam here in Brazil we call this rolling mill machine I've never seen the machine very well preserved like that it cuts smooth like butter kkk very good

[@craigtate5930]

That was a heck of a setup there. Love the tilting table

[@silvergoldking]

That was crazy amazing. You are the Abom. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesstanlake4064]

Great example of using a machne in a different method to get the job done, think outside the box 101. Well done!

[@andywithers592]

What a versatile machine. Thanks for sharing another interesting and informative video.

[@jerrycarroll4581]

Nice video. Impressed with your skills and professionalism.

[@jimad]

Great demonstration of what a shaper can do - I learned a lot from this video!

[@the1andonlydjt]

Adam, I enjoy watching your videos. You are a lucky person, someone who enjoys what he does for a living. There aren't too many people who do. Take care, hope you had a Merry Christmas. Hope you have a happy and successful new year.

[@willwyatt7023]

I LOVE watching you work, Adam. such a master craftsman.

[@snowbofr3ak]

Every video of yours I see I think to myself "This dude is an absolute Fricking beast!" Keep it up!

[@colinnorthcott9219]

Happy new year from Canada Adam. Its always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@normcameron2316]

Crazy how modern we think things are, but we still need to lay things out by hand with marker and squares and scribe. I love it. All you students take note. Great job Abom.

[@jostouw4366]

Takes me back near 60 years to the first machine i used as an apprentice.

[@turrettooling1968]

Love that shaper. I've always wanted one of those.

[@supadad1971]

Thanks for sharing.. What an amazing machine.. The engineering that goes into making something that large but yet so precise is mind boggling.. (I mean the shaper, lol) God Bless you and yours from UK..

[@malindafernando9882]

Thanks 4 video.I learned the importance of the acme & finishing tool for quick & proper keyway👍👍👍

[@heavymachining7830]

Thanks for taking us along to the shop Adam, as a learning machinist these videos are very helpful. If you ever get to South Dakota stop by our shop.

[@jwaterous224]

A lovely machining journey, Adam. I really liked scribing the red Dykem and how you showed some machinist mastery with the calipers, triangle and inside micrometer. Thank - You!

[@evilbrat5376]

Shaper work is a hoot to watch. Very relaxing on the eyes and mind. Going up though looked a little awkward for you but in Abom style ya got her done! Hope to see more shaper work from ya. Great Job.

[@r.d.riddle2068]

Handle-Crank for the win! Nice job. Thanks for sharing the set-up and procedures.

[@Neffers_UK]

Interesting mode of operations, thanks for sharing Adam. Oh and I hope you had a good xmas, and also hope you have a great start to the new year.

[@j-man72b72]

You made that job look easy, well done Adam.

[@MikeBaxterABC]

I think this is a VERY appropriate and profitable job for the shaper!!!

[@davidrichards5594]

Great set up and execution. The rougher looked like an Acme thread tool, perfect for that....Dave

[@lodgecav490]

Good job Adam, Best wishes for 2019. Thank you for the content.

[@csnelling4]

You do some great work Adam, thanks for the great quality videos 👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧

[@Yvolve]

How to put a square peg in a round hole, lesson 1. Great video, love the variation in ways to use the shaper, such an awesome tool!

[@jeffstull2534]

another great video Adam...thanks for bringing us along on your tryout/success.

[@mikediamond257]

Wow. Not coming from a machinists background, I find what you do fascinating!! Been glued to the screen watching how all these complex parts are made.

[@walthansen6333]

You should have an apprentice that you teach these things to, i.e., You seem to be one that would be a good teacher.

[@tedsaylor6016]

He's got 254,000 apprentices...

[@bigdaddy7670]

True craftsmanship my friend! Excellent Job.

[@DJnach3157]

Adam, I just enjoy watching such a fine craftsman like yourself doing what his passion is that he lives for. Just another fantastic job Adam as usual. Just a little p.s. to you personally Adam, I have just been so inspired your persistence in your weight loss journey. Man you are looking fabulous Adam. I watched a video from a couple of years back and what a difference on your weight. Way to go Adam you a living proof of persistent determination. Congratulations Adam.

[@rickeycallen]

Love the shaper stuff man, so awesome

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Ahh, I love the shaper work man .. ENJOYED ! .. Thanks Adam ..

[@MaturePatriot]

I love watching that BIG BOY do its work!! Great video.

[@raincoast2396]

I could tell you really enjoyed that one Adam! Beautiful job.

[@walterjoncas12]

Thank You for your wonderful videos Adam

[@deltamachine2059]

I have recently been introduced to the Davis keyseater. Before that I was all arbor press or hydraulic press and plug. Very cool to see a third way of doing an internal key, although I'll probably never get the opportunity to operate one. The only time I have ever seen one in person was at a naval machine shop meuseum.

[@mortjoer]

Happy New Year and thanks for all the interesting content Adam.

[@MrLukealbanese]

Outstanding Adam. Happy New Year!!

[@alfy1269]

Just looks so wrong to take out so much material but used these couplings before and it's the norm. Great stuff, so love watching your channel.
