The Difficult Process of Making a Custom GO / NO GO GAUGE

[@devindecater]

I literally did exactly this yesterday. 1.500x8 Stub Acme. I usually make my gages a little over the minimum pitch diameter and a little under the maximum to ensure a “real” gage will run okay. It tightens up the tolerance I have to play with when running the part, but it’s worth the peace of mind.

[@Tex81024]

Had a job where they wanted 200pcs of .030 steel laser cut and tapped in 2 places each with a 0-40 thread, turns out that by the time the no go bound in the part, it formed the thread enough to make a second pass with the no go, out of spec. had to have the inspection head come watch me do a piece with a brand new tap and check it himself, the customer ended up pulling the job because they wanted 100% inspection on our end and then they were gonna repeat the inspection before they accepted the part

Interesting, I ran Ex-cello model 35 thread grinders at Pennoyer-Dodge Gauge Company in Glendale Ca. for 10 years back in the 1970’s-80’s. I thread ground everything from a 0-80 to diameters over 10 inches. We used the three wire method also, but used Pratt & Whitney super micrometers that had adjustable presser for different pitches. We had to change gears for every pitch on the machine, and if we had to do multi start threads we either had to have a indexing head for the tail stock or index off of the gears by counting of the teeth and marking them with Dykem. For a radius root we had to hand dress the wheel then, then measure the radius in a J&L optical comparator. The more I think about it there's too much to mention that we had to go through back in those days so I'm just going end my comments right here.

We make UN gages all the time. Unfortunately you can't make an ACME or STACME thread gage with a regular acme/stacme thread insert. But dressing a grinding wheel works just fine 👌

[@ImStevee]

Why is that? The full form insert isn’t designed for the go and no-go dimensions?

[@TylerBrigham]

@@ImStevee the minor, pitch and root width dimensions of the gage dont align with the form insert. You have to have a smaller minor than whats possible while still hitting the pitch

Wow Titan Gilroy that studer grinding what the chair and all the computer screens is f****** amazing!! I mean I did see the first day when you got that machine on KZbin I know I got to sign up for the Titan academy of CNC i keep putting it off You got to show us more on how the chair works and the computer screens up on top and why there are three or two and everything else and do you still have all the other studer grinding machine you purchase wasn't one of them over $1000000 something like that and how come that one was so much money I mean they're all very very expensive just very curious i always want to know why and how things work since the day I've been born lol I can just imagine how expensive those studer grinding machine spindle I mean something tells me that they got to be very well engineered wet extremely high tolerances I don't think they're your ordinary angular contact match set of spindle bearings I would probably think that's studer has them either custom made for them or studer is making the spindle bearings themselves in-house I wonder if they use like a high-pressure oil pump on The spindle bearings what a very good micron filtration system

As long as you have the dimensions it's not that difficult. Even if ya dont it's doable if you know how a go and no go works.

[@seancollins9745]

out of curiosity, how long did this grinding take ???for the entire Guage

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

My question too! For sure faster than having a gauge company make one.

[@kevinbasto5611]

I always wondered what Chris Hadfield did after retirement.

[@kleini3]

If a contract comes in with a thread for that the shop doesn’t have a gauge laying around you simply buy one and when the parts get manufactured you are ready to go. Simple work preparation.

[@jeremymatthies726]

Chris, that was a really neat op. I am curious as to the differences with using a grinding wheel to create something compared to using the lathe to make the part?

[@christobel]

This part, with its tolerances and condition, could have been completed on a lathe without issue. In gauge applications, the material would have been hardened, and would pose a challenge machining on a lathe. Grinding would be the way to go then.

[@christophervillalpando5865]

@@christobel Pretty much answered that question for me!!

[@jeremymatthies726]

@Chris Morris thanks, that makes sense then to me now. I do find it interesting how with a grinding wheel your able to get such tight tolerances. Gotta love machines and computers for this.

[@87mits]

I've always understood that grinding gets a bit better surface and tighter tolerances Vs hard turning, at the cost of time and having to look after the wheel. However when there is a interrupted cut you probably have to grind as the hard turning inserts tend to be too brittle.

[@zajawamotocykle9256]

Epic

[@siffar]

Excellent video. My only concern is that profile needs to be dressed with compensation because no titl angle on the wheel

[@apauma1]

Program makes the compensation

[@kumo9993]

Is there a reason why you roughed the OD on the grinder instead of getting it turned on a lathe first before heat treatment? Seems like turning and leaving heat treatment/grinding allowance would be faster than roughing down what looks like 20mm per side with a grinding wheel (I'm an apprentice so this is a genuine question for the sake of learning)

[@suvajit_Dutta]

@@barrysetzer guess what I went Michigan A year before on this day

[@frejdroid]

I have an interesting question. I noticed that you use an analog micrometer instead of a digital one. Is there a special reason for using that over a digital? My workplace has “banned” analog and only uses digital now, so it was kind of surprising to see that you still use these wonderful measuring tools.

[@tylergibson7226]

Your work place probably had problems with people making mistakes reading the scales.

[@travisjarrett2355]

There isn't. Chris prefers to use a standard at the machine; I use digitals in inspection. If you know how to use and read it an analog micrometer will work for most cases.

[@dylanwalter1696]

I have found that digital micrometers are susceptible to shock loading so if you approach the part too quickly you’ll get some error due to the difference of a design from analog. Surprised they banned them but probably depends on what tolerance you are working in

[@TheMarci201]

What is the motivation for not roughing this part on a lathe? It seems pretty overkill to me to make in entirely on the grinder

[@kleini3]

Flex so they can say we did it all on the grinding machine

[@hectordominguez7143]

I wonder if it was necessary to flip the part twice. Could you have done the major and the thread at the same time? Or is there a reason you made it this way?

[@Honzishek]

everything is wrong there to make caliber this way, but??... , some special thread is it one piece, is it working ? probably yes, did they demonstrate the machine well ? who cares. Anyway i love Donnie and his swiss turn lathe style. Others of guys are just boring... Boom is just gone .

[@UrsusSuperior44]

Well there was a change of the grinding wheel in between, and I don't know much about grinding especially on such a level of precision and complexity, but either change of wheel introduces more potential for error and required work to mitigate it rather than flipping the part Or it's simply quicker to do one wheel change (regular to thread), rather than three (regular to thread back to regular and yet again to thread), all assuming that the last one is left on the machine all the way up to next tasks on a different job which could require yet another wheel altogether. Otherwise it's "one and a half" change (one change and taking the wheel off to leave an empty spindle) or 'three and a half' Either way, former is quicker than the latter, and I suspect that error mitigation after flipping the part (it was just a moment ago ground on this exact setup, assuming Titans live up to the image they created on YT, they keep their machines in good enough condition and regular servicing that setup is all within square, concetricity, in turn being symmetric on the 'imaginary', 'non-machine' axis on which part was flipped end for end etc) is a risk worth taking to save time - as in, time, it potentially will take, to get within true axis at a bad case scenario is short enough to still be a save (or more preferable time spent effort-wise) compared to few more wheel changes

At my company all gages and measuring tools needs to undergo calibration/inspection once a year and we don’t even make parts for aero.

[@rougaddon5103]

Damn I didn’t know PJ from Grandma’s Boy was into machining

[@raphaelchevalier2217]

Great video; but why flip the part between ops instead of going NOGO major & NOGO thread with perfect concentricity, then GO major & GO thread?

[@da54177]

Why bother getting perfect concentricity between the two when this is easier?

[@Exgrmbl]

why would concentricity matter in this use case. Sounds like a waste of time

[@ignacioaguirrenoguez6218]

He is turning between centers so concentricity is presserved

[@Beregorn88]

I don't understand how a go-nogo gauge could check the tolerances on more than a single parameter: a single parameter in spec would be enough to prevent the nogo side to work, so how do you verify that are ALL in spec? Shouldn't you do two "go" gauges with the upper and lower sizes?

[@chadc1982]

Exactly so, at the lead in only. A machine shop owner I used to visit as source inspector showed me how to use a punch to deform lead thread and prevent "no-Go" gage from threading in. A reprehensible act that illustrates your question. As the name illustrates, hard gaging is only a quick accept/reject tool; does not supersede measurement.

[@martythezebra5183]

Guys, forget CNC for a moment and get a conventional lathe for roughing operations. It will help you save a lot of "MONEYYYY".

[@snake9100]

Weird question but how do you guys create perfect center holes on both sides? We get variations of ,005mm on diameter when we measure around the part with 2point measure

[@christophervillalpando5865]

Normally you would use a center grinder to align the center holes

[@verakoo6187]

My shop turns every part between centers after we drill them. Throw a center in the chuck, zero and line it up with the tail stock then make a few skim passes on it.

[@LarryPfeffer]

Have you ever made go/nogo thread gauges out of Invar36?

[@sudeepvarshney5842]

Can you suggest how to drill 1,2,3mm holes using HSS drill to the depth of 40mm in a VMC? I tried mine, but at the bottom, the hole went out of its axis.

[@legggl8648]

I think it would be difficult to do this with HSS. Its bending too much at this size. I think your best bet is Carbide, cuz HSS is always gonna wander away.

[@phillip4650]

Just a question at the beginning of the video. Is it correct that the tailstock center don't have to rotate as well? 1:05 I thought that the friction between the part and the tailstock center will wear the both of them down and it will start to loosen up?

[@legggl8648]

The centers are made from cabide, they are super hard and therefore basically dont wear at all.

[@legggl8648]

Also on the tailstock there is a cutout on the center, so u can grind closer to the center, you can see this cutout at 6:15 .
