Thank you Tony!

@@StefanGotteswinter Regarding streaming, as you said yourself: It is not detracting from your usual content, so what is there to lose? It's enough that 0.1% of your audience will tune it to listen to you, even if all you end up doing is randomly mumbling, and you interact with 100 people, so give it a try, you can always stop or make changes later. Regarding a schedule, I think like 16:00 CET on Saturdays is the best time for international streamers. You catch the Americans at breakfast, The Europeans waking up from their nap, and the Asians/Australians late night on a Saturday when they can stay up late. :)

Hey mate congrats on the 100K subscribers! Always great to see your videos. Thanks for the mention we appreciate your support across our youtube and instagram channels! Cheers Kurtis 😎👍

[@StefanGotteswinter]

Thank you so much!

[@jimsvideos7201]

I'm 100% here for KZbin machinists working in many different areas; having so many people to learn from is a luxury I value.

[@Sven_Hein]

FYI I've just discovered that Hoffman is doing a discount on a lot of Holex endmills until october. You can get some for under 6€ a piece depending on size and coating etc.

[@StefanGotteswinter]

yikes. Thats gonna be expensive for me :D Thanks!

[@harrymiller3986]

I’m going to say that you are deserving of 200k followers all the changes are for the best in your business and you are a great teacher for your craft

[@EyeOfTack]

I vote yes on the livestream, probably couldn't catch many of them live, but the recordings could be very zen.

[@danilodekoning968]

Listening to this in the shop I heard "for stardust" instead of for starters and thought Stefan was cutting some neutronium to celebrate his 100 k followers. Congrats!!

[@StefanGotteswinter]

Cutting spicy rocks is not my expertise ;)

[@Dogfather66227]

You’ve given your viewers hundreds of hours of tips, techniques and in-depth discussion that they might not be able to find anywhere else and even thrown in an occasional splash of humor. The 100K subscriber level is more than deserved. Best wishes.

[@50shadesofrust65]

Congratulations on 100k. Live stream, I would watch if I caught it in Fort Sumner New Mexico.

[@Likeaudio]

The phrase "recreational purchase" made my wife laugh out loud. I belive you are a "completionist" when it comes to your tools. I appreciate that as a Volstro / bridgeport owner.

[@StefanGotteswinter]

Haha :D I would like to see someone having all the accessories that Bridgeport offered, even the weird ones, like the cherrying head.

[@mhdm]

Congrats on the subscriber milestone! Shop project suggestion: add spindle lock to Deckel highspeed head.

[@StefanGotteswinter]

I highly consider it :-D

[@onkelmatt8601]

"Recreational Purchase".... made my day.... got to remember this one for the small shop projects done off time for my day job :rofl:

[@markstorey4243]

Hi Stefan. Seeing you clean the lens at the start of the video made me think of something: more than most people who use cameras, you understand abrasion and surface finishing. I've always seen camera people cleaning lenses and wondering how much they are scratching the surface when they wipe. I know it falls outside of machining, but it could make an interesting subject for a video.

[@StefanGotteswinter]

What I did there in the beginning of the video, I would never do to a dirty lens, 100% guarantee to scratch it :D Cleaning of parts and tools is an incredible wide topic, good idea, I might do something on it.

[@markstorey4243]

That would be great. I realize most people here are interested in metal and plastic, but that particular subject does interest me. I work in the film industry and I've seen camera assistants wiping lenses (with some care) worth tens of thousands of dollars and wondered if they were really damaging those lenses.

[@ianjefferson9518]

Hi Stefan yes congratulations on 100K. I hope you don't get too consumed by these counters though. Mr. Pete complains about his views but I think he forgets that he is emulated by dozens of other youtubers and offers very special introductory material and historical (US anyway) perspective. Like Robin R. and Paul Sellers you offer a pretty unique take on the machining (well Paul is woodworking with a smattering of steel) world and just because your parts tend to be finger sized or smaller doesn't mean those of us working with wiggly consumer machines making parts for tractors can't adapt your ideas to our applications. I also really appreciate German approaches to things that are just different than the way things are done in NA. Live stream would be fun but I usually miss these and have to enjoy them after the fact anyway but by now you have some hard core groupies that will follow you anywhere anytime so go for it. I seem to be always interested in sharpening, resharpening, and making and grinding tools so hopefully a few shop projects that include cutting tools will continue to be included in the future. Anyway I really appreciate you taking us along on your journey. All the best. Gambatte Kudasai!

[@msampson1949]

great that you are there, never be as good as you but can always dream . can always blame my old machines for slop ha, you keep me inspired thanks

[@Joel-st5uw]

Congrats on the channel milestone! Regarding the inserted drill: I've been curious why I haven't seen them used much in youtube shops. I think Kurtis (CCE) is the only other person I've seen use them in a non-CNC application. When I used to work in a very large industrial steel shop (circa 2006), our tooling company put us on to them. At the time we were using twist drills with a braised/ground carbide tip and these new inserted drills were advertised as a cheaper solution (more $$ for the drill body, but less $$ in inserts over time). We were running them on ~2 cubic meter 3-axis CNC Mazaks. I don't recall the RPM, but the vertical feed rates we got was much better than the braised tools. We were pushing a 20mm drill through mild steel at over 650mm/min.

[@JoggingWithForks]

Hi Stefan! Congratulations on 100k subs! You have created something wonderful here, as a hobby machinist I've learned so many things over the years from watching your videos. Thank you so much :)

[@CRUZER1800]

Your videos are always interesting and I think a live stream would add another dimension to your content. I for one would like to see it happen. Best of luck to you and congratulations on 100K subs. Russ

[@princessharold]

One feature all of the u-drills we have at work is you can offset them in X to drill a larger hole. The Kennametal and Sandvik drills we have often have either a range or maximum size etched on them. I've also never had luck boring with them, but drilling bigger has saved me a couple roughing passes and it's usually not louder than drilling on size. I *have* been startled by the coins hitting the window of the machine before, though.

[@chrisgrainge8806]

Thank you for taking the time Stefan... I've learnt loads and been inspired by your projects... more tool building would be great as they are projects that I might be able to achieve, some of your contract work is so far beyond my skills it might as well be a different planet!

[@AlmostMachining]

Congratulations! Heck yes i would like a live show.

[@RickRolling-tc7vb]

Well done Stefan, fascinating content as always. I worked in machinist's shop when I first left school, making earth-wrecking machinery, and now I use a Lorch 8mm to make winding stems. You keep my interest alive and I learn so much from every video, so thank you for that. Live stream would be cool because we would all learn from the interactions and varied perspectives: imagine you, Curtis, Rob and Quinn arguing about the best way to make flux capacitors! More content/B roll of the shop mascot would be appreciated too. Cheers!.

[@ryebis]

Congrats Stefan, well deserved. Small backyard hobby machinists would learn more from your videos and Quinn's videos, thanks for making them.

[@Paul-FrancisB]

Congratulations on 100k 🎉 it should be more, I have learnt a lot from you, and having a small workshop it is surprisingly applicable to me. I can only aspire to match your level of precision 😬

[@natecontarino1748]

Congrats

[@hoggif]

Congrats! Without good content it would not have been possible. After finding your channel I've looked up much of your older content too! I've loved how much I've leaned from them. Telling why you do things you do is so valuable to me. Do I want professional quality of video, editing, audio and audio editing? I like it, but the content is more important. I'll rather learn something from lesser quality video than watch a pro film I learn nothing. I think one magic of tool building is that is it fundamentally problem solving. You need to do something where you need a tool to do that. Making one solves the problem. Same thing in customizing equipment but in smaller scale. Sure, youtube is full of hacks (with owful results) but your tools are not hacks but thought to the end making good results. Love to see those too!

[@CatNolara]

Congrats on the 100k, well deserved in my eyes Even though most of the parts you do in your videos are not really approachable since they're often customer parts for NDA stuff, what got me to stay is how you explain your workflows and all the little tricks to make difficult things possible or to make the work easier and faster, and how to make most of the space you have available. I really like to learn about stuff like that, since I also only have a small space for living out my machinist desires :D Greetings from east germany

[@sinisatrlin840]

When you use that Indexable drill in your Emco lathe and Multifix holder you can connect coolant to the rear end of the drill. I use pvc piping and quick couplings normally used for compressed air. Lathe coolant pump would do great. Maybe coolant mist with compressed air would work, but i have not tryed that. Never can have enaugh attachments on Deckel (Euromill how it is called in US). Many thanks for your great channel and content. I am your subscriber from the early days, also on Blondiehacks, Abom and Cutting edge eng. All the best.

[@princessharold]

There's a coolant port on the side, too, which is much more convenient in some cases. You just pull the plug out of that and put it in the back of the drill.

Question If I may . I stumbled across a metric vernier scale that has less than a 10/100 base increment on the vernier scale and reading the measurements through me. Can anyone share the correct technique for reading this style of calliper. Perhaps a video Stefan (it appears that you have to double the vernier scale measurements to make any sense.)

Excellent achievement Stefan, I always look forward to your videos regardless of content. I was interested to hear your perspective on your target audience. I am a hobby machinist with and old Boxford lathe and Senior mill which I use (mostly) to make parts for classic bikes. I find that many of the techniques your explain in your content is transferable to what I do and is immensely valuable. I'm sure other followers benefit equally.

7:14 Hydraulic! Then you can get into "hydraulic competition" with Cutting Edge 🙂 48:20 it is good when your machine does not have super high torque, and you can run them at much higher rpm than a twist drill. Air through the coolant holes on the lathe is easy to make and might help to remove chips and cool a little.

[@TinyMaths]

Congratulations on your YT milestone. I haven't been in a machine shop since vocational college back in the early 90's, but watching your machining process is so interesting; and it's a nice alternative to other popular machinists I enjoy watching on the platform.

[@KeefyKat]

LOL, That theme song makes me think of the SNL skit Sprockets!

[@steveggca]

2 stories on insert drills and lathes , for a while mori seiki installed large laminated glass windows on their lathes. a huge upgrade on the various plastic windows . then insert drills became almost overnight ,the drill of choice that pushed out disk would fly out at high speed and hit the edge of the inner glass and the whole window would would crumble as safety glass does. Soon after that , the factory shortened the glass and placed a steel plate to stop the impacts on the sheet metal of the door. Second ,we installed a lathe at a stainless steel specialist ,with optional high pressure coolant (1000psi /69MPa). unfortunatly the transfer pump from the coolant resevoir to the HP pump resevoir was undersized, resulting on a momentary stop in coolant delivery. With a hight pressure and high volume flow a hole could be drilled very fast .Without the cutting and clearing effect of the coolant ,the drill died an instant horrible death. oops🙄

[@nefariousyawn]

Here is a non-regular comment. Thanks for making your videos for us to watch.

[@warrenjones744]

Those of us that are machinist nerds really love your content. It is always thought provoking. For example the saw table is pure genius IMHO. The Deckel just keeps getting better. You did say many years ago if you were stranded on an Island and could only take one machine tool it was a Deckel with all the accessories! Your getting there one air BnB road trip at a time! I now officially want one 🤣 The micro drilling attachment is brilliant. These shop talk videos you do from time to time are very interesting and informative. The people who influence you are different than those who taught me or someone else's and it's always nice to see another point of view on how to do things. It broadens ones horizons. Live stream would be fun

[@Joelsfilmer]

Congratulations, Stefan! I have a prime suspect for the source of that endmill. As hirsute as he's kind-hearted and knowledgeable: he's quite the guardian angel. Or angle.

[@Preso58]

Thanks Stefan. That was an hour well spent. I love your home brew vertical bandsaw and the Iscar drill bit. The diamond end mill blew my mind though. This is still my favourite machining channel. Regards, Mark from Oz.

[@markshort9098]

Congrats on 100k.. been watching for 10 years, 🍻 here's to the next 10

[@ReiniGrauer]

A gas spring for the bandsaw feed mechanism would be a good cheap way to do it. They have a fairly consistent spring force through their travel and can be sourced with internal hydraulic damping. You would just need a latch of some kind to hold the table it in the compressed state to load stock on the saw, same as you would need for a gravity fed table. You can get gas struts that have an adjustable pressure as well, just let the gas out until it feels right. The only think I would think a gravity feed system is you have more control over the feed pressure by just throwing more or less scrap metal in the counterweight bucket, but otherwise a gas spring would be simpler and more compact. Congrats on the 100k!

[@williamfissell1694]

I had one of those Palmgrens and I got rid of it. Because of exactly what you said.

[@unpopular_mechanics]

I believe that the palmgren table was made for a drill press. I think that there were situations where a shop did not want to tie up a mill for certain drilling operations and the palmgren table was a middle ground. It would allow for semi-accurate bolt circle drilling without layout.

[@felixm.8910]

I think a livestream as you described it would be something approaching a Q&A. Doing a regular installment of Q&A would be an easier task as a livestream, since you wouldn't have to prepare any questions and so on. But I think more people could be involved when it was a video, due to timezones, as you mendtioned. Maybe a good compromise could be to do a livestream, so the people can enjoy it live, but also watch it on-demand afterwards, like WAN Show on LTT. You could also ask the viewers who didn't get tocwatch it live to leave questions for the next livestream, so they'd be more involved, rather than just missing it (mostly). My last idea on this is that you could schedule the streams for a different time each stream (within reason) so everyone could enjoy you live every once in a while. These are just my two cents of ideas, and are to be handled as food for thought, not to push you in any direction. Keep up the great content, I learn something new on every single video of yours!!❤
