We broach in our hydraulic press at work all the time, the key is to get an apprentice to do it. Much safer that way and it keeps your hands clean!

[@ThisOldTony]

ha! I laughed way too hard at that. Smart thinking!

[@aceroadholder2185]

Nick.. not a good plan! It's too easy to snap one in two. The other important thing to do is have box full of rags to catch the the broach when it falls through..they don't bounce very well and they're awfully expensive. If the broaches are dull... spend a few bucks and take them to a cutter-grinder shop and get them resharpened. If sharp, with care and heavy cutting oil, they last a long time in a job shop.

Tony,the tool that you said was a threading tool! Here in the UK, back in the early 70s we had identical tools to the one shown,in the engineering shop I worked in. They were used as form tools for various jobs.Not threading.Some were rounded, some were flat faced, but with relief for plunging, much like a part off tool.But all they needed was a quick lick on the grinder and back in business.Until the disc came to the end of it’s life, and the disc was then replaced by a new one, and on it went.

[@MrKotBonifacy]

Identifying most common plastics can be done through flame test - something akin to spark test done on steels. PVC burns with difficulty, extinguishes itself as soon as the testing flame is taken away (the best testing flame would be neutral propane, or MAPP burner flame - like the one you've used to make espresso). There will be (should be) some sea-greenish tint to the edges, and tad foul and strong acrid smell (akin to hydrochloride, or muriatic acid). And, do as Mr Clinton did - smoke, but don't inhale - as there might be some phosgene (carbonyl chloride, COCl2) in the combustion products. Polystyrene (nowadays seldom use on its own, as it is too brittle ans cracks easilly), or ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, modern replacement for solid polystyrene) would burn with red flame, giving a lot of soot (as all aromatic-derivatives do, something akin to acetylene flame), and will burn by itself even if you move away the burner's flame (might not, if it's got some self-extinguishing additives in itself). The smell is rather characteristic. although difficult to describe - take a piece of styrofoam, burn it, and then you'll know. Might also give a hint of burned hair smell, as ABS contains some nitrogen (but not as much as polyamides). Polyamides (like Ertalon, for example; PAs are frequently used to make casings, or housings of many modern power tools, as they are strong, durable and resistant to cracking) give very distinctive smell of burned hair of fingernails (as they are chemically very similar to proteins). The material itself tend to "bubble, chars and hardens" while being subjected to high-temperature flame. Polyethylene/ polypropylene burns with the "candle-like" flame and similar smell, no soot, they melt easily and give "flaming drops" - a droplets of burning material. Be careful, as they can give you a really nasty and painful burns. There's this often used "frisylen" stuff (surface for tables of die-cutters and such), which is just a fancy-schmancy marketing name for one type of polyethylene (AFAIR). Then there's this POM (aka polyoxymethylene, polyacetal, acetal) used, among other applications, for making v-belts wheels and small gears - more on it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyoxymethylene - where one can also read "POM can have undesirable characteristics when burned. The flame is not self-extinguishing, shows little to no smoke, and the blue flame can be almost invisible in ambient light. Burning also releases formaldehyde gas, which irritates nose, throat, and eye tissues". And then we've got that PMAA, aka "plexiglas", but this it typically clear, bot opaque - anyway, when strongly heated it gives away a smell reminiscent of a hyacinth flowers (or so they say...). All above-mentioned "plastics" are from thermoplastics family - and then we've got tons of various "resins" (duroplastics. like epoxy resins, polyester resins, phenol-based resins, and such), but this is quite another kettle of fish I'm not going to delve here. For more info - ask Uncle Google, he's much younger than I am (so he should know and remember better than me : )

Hey Tony, I’m sure you’ve heard this a million times from the TOT KZbin gang but I’m sorry for your loss and I hope you know your entire audience gives their condolences. I stumbled across this particular video (which is new to me even though I’ve been a fan for quite some time) and I have to say that if you ever get back to making videos, please consider making a TOT version of that hefty surface gauge. That surface gauge is a thing of beauty and I can only imagine what kind of improvements you would want to implement. Your tap wrench build is my favorite video of yours which explains why i would be so excited about a surface gauge build. Lol Either way, we wish you the best man.

My first job machining in 1992 was operating a horizontal mill. It was working nights pumping out hundreds of parts that paid for my college tuition.

Funny.... I have a set of three sizes of surface gages on my workbench right now and have started re-creating them in blocks of walnut. My goal is to build an up-scaled desk lamp with the surface gage as the base and arms. I was going to use a half-cylinder for the lamp shade, but perhaps an over-sized D.I. would be appropriate. Anywho...another great video!

Love your vids,I especially like your sense of humor,and you explain everything, I'm 61 years old and our high school metal shop was very disappointing, we had brakes,tin welding,ark welding,and gas welding ,I don't think rig was even invented yet! I would have loved it if we had even a cheap lathe rather than no lathe at all ! But wood shop had a lathe go figure ! But you had to be a junior or senior to use the lathe ,my only exposure to the wood shop lathe was after the junior returned to the lathe from lunch,some body reversed the direction of rotation on him,and he assumed it was as he left it,(he should have checked he didnt) he turned the lathe on and grabbed his gouge to remove more material and then all hell broke loose,in a mere few seconds the bowl shattered and his gouge jumped up and struck him in his forehead right between his eyes and was embedded there,there was blood and bowl everywhere,he was taken by ambulance to the hospital, luckily he had a Neanderthal skull and the gouge did not enter the brain but was just stuck in the skull only ,and was removed easily by the Dr, after an extensive investigation it could not be determined who had reversed the lathe and or why they reversed it ,no one admitted to doing it ,and after that incident the lathe was red flagged and no one was ever going to use it again,so by the time I was a junior the lathe was sold off and I was never Abel to use any kind of lathe metal or wood ! I feel I was robbed !!! And at 61 I can't exactly go hang out at a machine shop hoping one of the machinest would see me and take me under his wing and make me an apprentice so I could have a career as a machinest , absolutely bummed out .

[@MrDavej99]

You heat a piece of solid copper wire, and melt a little of the plastic, and then put the wire in a flame, if the flame turns green it's PVC. I think the chloride in the PVC attacks the copper so it burns, probably copperchloride.

[@Gottenhimfella]

[@donzmilky5961]

360 degrees by 5 degree increments means that cutter could be sharpened almost 70 times. someone had a great idea there.

[@donzmilky5961]

if it started life with a 10 degree gap which is doubtful haha, probably a good 50 sharpens before it's scrap though.

[@EnlightenedSavage]

sharpening it takes less than a degree. unless you screw up

[@donzmilky5961]

+EnlightenedSavage I was thinking the adjustment was 5 degrees so to keep it square to the work might as well do 5 at a time, but I'm sure there's more adjustment in the tool somehow.

[@ThisOldTony]

Don't need to necessarily remove 5* at a time.. I don't think. E.g., quick honing. But there is the risk of 'over sharpening' -- too much material removed.. and I'm not sure at what point it becomes too weak.. like that last 5* probably won't stand up very long cutting a thread. :)

[@donzmilky5961]

This Old Tony just speculation, no real math going on in my head haha. still I think 70 sharpens is a decent tool life. the round tool like that is something I'd think making a bunch of would be good, if you've already got the holder I'd say different sizes and degrees would be handy.

[@aceroadholder2185]

I have one of the Armstrong threading tools similar to yours. It's the cat's pajamas. I can set up to thread in just few seconds and re-sharpening only takes a moment. The tilting head on your threading tool is a step up on carbide threading tool holders if you are cutting multi-start threads (e.g. shut-off valve stems). A six start 5/8"-18 thread has a lead of 0.333"/rev (~8.5mm/rev) and steep 28deg helix angle, so as you mentioned, the cutter needs more side relief than normal and your tool makes that easy to set.

[@gordonwalsh5652]

If you are tipping the tool that far over though, aren't you screwing with the thread profile? If I did the math right, taking a measurement of the 60° angle at 28° from normal gives you 66.4°. As far as I know, all thread specifications are taken in plane with the axis of the screw, so a threading tool with a 60° angle used flat like you normally would will produce the 60° angle as it is specified. Tipping your cutting tool over would give you an angle of 60° measured perpendicular to the threads themselves, but the angle as measured in the standard, in-plane-with-axis method would be the stretched 66.4°. From what little Google can brings up, it looks like for that sort of thread there would be a tolerance of about ±2°, at least assuming that a multi-start thread has the same profile specifications as a single-start, which makes sense since it should have the same nominal profile. If you were cutting the mating threads in the same way, this wouldn't be a problem, but something tells me you aren't single-point threading the internal, six-start 5/8"-18 thread using the same 60°-tilted-over-28° cutter geometry. I can see how spinning the disk to keep up with sharpening is a convenient feature, but tilting it over just seems like a red-herring for actual use.

[@davestahl572]

One benefit of horizontal milling cutters is that you could make your own cutters, unlike end mills. It may or may not be economical, but you may not always be able to find specific cutters needed for a project, so this is a viable option in the home shop.

Tony, If you ever have a concern about finish while milling, try CLIMB milling. Think of it like shoveling snow. You just scooped up in a traditional sense. Climb milling draws down from above. It makes a big difference especially on nonferrous metals.

[@KowboyUSA]

With all the little specks of stove ash, shop dust and other crud on my display, I had to scroll up and down to find it.

[@trentw26]

Damn you. Lol.

[@Crlarl]

Give me Cartesian coordinates. I can't see it.

[@glenralph5123]

@ Carl - If X is -10 to 10 and Y is -5 to 5, the stuck pixel is at (-9, -4) I had to 'ballpark' the Cartesian plane for a video on a screen (aspect ratio). lol

[@jmiddlefinger]

My god, it’s like the arrow in the FedEx logo or the H in the Hartford Whalers logo. Even with your warning, I couldn’t resist, and now that I’ve seen into the dark dimension, I will never be the same

[@RGSABloke]

Tony, the magic just keep coming, and yes tool finds are good (plastic tray or not)!!!!! Kindest regards. Joe.

[@Swag-sw2li]

Where in Italy is this magic scrap yard?

[@intjonmiller]

Sw ag Is it Italy? I was just trying to remember a few days ago where he said he is.

[@Swag-sw2li]

Jon Miller from what I've gathered. If it's northern Italy, I'd definitely like to peruse that scrapyard the next time I'm down there.

[@intjonmiller]

CERN? Just a guess.

[@Swag-sw2li]

You're guess is as good as mine, but he seems more a production engineer type than an R&D engineer or machinists.

[@intjonmiller]

Sorry, I meant your own situation. "Expatriate engineer", somewhere north or north-ish of northern Italy. But from your response I guess not.

[@TomChame]

Spectacular!!!!!! The HMM is terrifying, I had no idea they could make a cut like that. Thank you so much.

[@Skraap]

Not only are you missing the serving tray, you are also missing a piece of old, long haired carpet!

[@guillaumefortinmoquin2875]

Søren Fuglsang, im not sure how well everything show without the carpet...

[@mikenovinger158]

Wish I could find a scrap man like yours. Always enjoy your videos and always manage to learn something. Thanks!

[@amiralozse1781]

still I cannot belive you are 'only' an hobbyist (as you call yourself if I'm not mistaken) time and again I'm deeply impressed by your knowledge, experience and machinery. Thanks for doing these videos!

[@bikefarmtaiwan1800]

Hey Tony- Super video again! The gauge block there is almost identical to the one my classmates and I had to make out of stock in the first year of out tool makers apprenticeship in the early 80s in the UK. Yours may well be from that kind of place over in your area of the world. It encompasses many the major skills you need to know about shapers, lathes and various milling machines as well as scraping and filing. We made V blocks with clamps and parallels too I just brought mine back from the UK and use them after 30 years of sitting about-sadly the gauge block got stolen! Very happy for you to see your "find"" at the scrap yard- I have had similar luck with stuff being sold by weight :) Less about now than there used to be a few years back but I still go several times a week to see what I can find but no slip gauges yet!!

[@denny9931]

The plastic cafeteria lunch tray AND birds singing in the background...! Oxtoolco is a good channel too, i´ve been binging the content of the usual suspects for weeks. You guys do a great job to explain information that would otherwise be hard to be learned from books or just some dropped hints by acquaintances. I hear stories of great finds on flea markets and scrapyards all the time, for a starter it might be a good idea to not spend too much money for new stuff, otoh it takes experience to know what one needs or what it is good for.

[@Mogman150]

Great find! I love horizontal mills. Most people don't have room for them as they aren't as versatile. But, in their area of work, it's hard for a vertical to compete.

[@xmachine7003]

That huge cut he took looked like a roughing and finishing cut in 1.

[@colinclayton8121]

Videos like this I find very interesting. I would love to see more of your shop set up and tools. Home machining is a hobby I may want to start because of videos like this.

[@makun16]

I don't have a bore gauge in my shop but when I need to precisely measure a bore, I use two dowel pins and a gauge block for large bores. I have had great success with this method and use that money I would have spent on a bore gauge towards new equipment.

[@johnmcdonnell6109]

Tony, All of your videos are very entertaining and a pleasure to watch!

[@clifftrader]

OMG, I laugh so hard at the cardboard tube! ( I couldn't quite get the metal cap off) LMAO! Keep up the vids, I always look forward to seeing your next production. Cheers!

[@joepie221]

The micrometer stand works exceptionally well when setting a dial bore gage or an indicol. Not having to hold the mic too, is a big advantage in the operation.

[@millomweb]

Threading tool - I had in mind that loosening the back nut and then tapping it with a hammer would free the rotational aspect of the tool head - being on a taper, it sure would ! Coming across someone very recently with a 6-start LH thread tap, the notion of rotating the cutting tool toward the helix came to my mind. Earlier today, even discussed this with another viewer ! So timely to see a tool capable of doing that.

[@philjay68]

Great video bud, fantastic finds at the scrap yard, would love a butchers round there myself. Yes climb milling is always a leap of faith in your set up 🤨🤨

[@petermcneill80]

Hey great video mate , was interesting to see the 16mm end mill vs the equivalent horizontal cutter set up there’s something primal (or something) about watching the horizontal cutter removing material 👍🏻

[@taogotos]

Keep'em coming! Also helped to remember one of your most beautifully crafted videos (the horizontal milling machine one). Cheers!

[@who-man7699]

This video reminded me of something I completely forgot about when I you showed the horizontal mill I remembered running a mill similar to it 20+ years ago at Dodge Reliance milling pillow block bearing housings and tho I'm talking 20 years back even back then the mill was old as he/\ but it held a tight tolerance I guess that's why they had kept that old mill around, I only wished that I would have like doing this type of work then as I do now

[@aceroadholder2185]

I have an Armstrong threading tool similar to the one you bought, but without the helix adjustment. It works a treat.. sets up in just a moment and you're good to go. The disk cutting tool should last about 100 years in the home shop. The Helix adjustment is handy for cutting multi-start threads where you would encounter steep helix angles.

[@Gottenhimfella]

SKF made a similar item, but the periphery of the cutter was in the form of several adjacent threads, complete with top and bottom radii (effectively a "part-circular chaser") www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/general/threading-die-205635-post1368206/#post1368206

[@tommy0164]

New subscriber here,,, the questions you have answered for me already by just watching a few of your vids is just amazing!!! Not only are you funny,,,, but a darn good teacher too!!!!! Please keep the vids coming!!!

[@ThisOldTony]

Thanks Tommy!

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

As always we appreciate the videos! Great job, I would like to see more just like this. I enjoy discovering great finds!

[@darrenmurrey1895]

Congratulations on 100,000 subs. As usual, a wealth of inspirational info. Thanks for making these videos.
