The Radius Fixture That Got Way Too Complicated

I know longer videos are a lot more work, editing, and take longer to upload. But I don't think I'm alone when I say that I really enjoy longer videos of machining. Your style in a good 30 minute-ish video is a good time in my opinion. Thanks for working so hard and making such amazing content.

[@rorylong314]

I enjoy all of your videos, regardless of length. Whatever you give us, we’ll gladly accept

[@SweetTooth8989]

Totally. I loved this longer format too. 30min is a perfect length in my opinion. No super short, and not so long that people lose focus/stop watching the video.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you and noted! Ironically slightly longer videos would probably be a little easier. I spend quite a bit of time just getting the explanations as concise as I can. Otherwise I blather on too much 😂

I do enjoy the clicking fingers and skipping stuff, but what I have really loved about your channel is how different it is from other machining channels I watch, and the inclusion of setup changes is a big part of that

​@@InheritanceMachining I totally agree with these comments. The "clicks" were great on a dad joke level (the ultimate level 🤔) and the sense of humour fits just like your chamfered parts.....spot on...... But please don't follow the insta-crowd. I loathe that fake magic to the point where I refuse to watch creators who over employ the clicks for views regardless of how good their content may be. You've got it so right, the pace, the work I can only dream of, the finished product, the explanation AND the thoroughly relaxing way in which you go about even the most tedious tasks in the shop. I am thrilled to see one of your videos pop up and hope that you keep running true and on centre. Oh and longer videos work just fine for me😊

[@brandansilveira7468]

I do absolutely love your videos and think they are very informative but fun to watch. But as a machinist who has seen some whacky things happen. Please for your own safety do not do the super glue method, i would not even attempt this on small light work. And if you do use the super glue method I would just avoid advertising that, as a young or inexperienced machinist might try the same thing and end up in the hospital or worse. Lathes are very very great at what they do, but when it goes bad it goes very very bad as well. Be safe and have fun making chips!

It's hard to justify making widgets when there are so many other tools I truly do "need" 😂

[@matiastripaldi406]

As per clickspring videos, it might be a good idea to turn some concentric grooves into the blank you use to superglue the work on, apparently it gives the glue some air which it needs to dry. Make the grooves deep enough and you can face the plate everytime you use it without having to cut new ones.

[@punduhmonium3663]

That's an interesting idea. My understanding is that CA cures with water, which air naturally has, so the grooves would help that. I also know that accelerants(baking soda, any base, i think) would help with that.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Not a bad idea! Thanks

[@mslucass]

[@svenhohne2697]

Hey IM, really a very nice piece of work. As mentioned on my last comment, I am a MechEng for quite some years now, and kind of specialized on Composite Materials, which means also on Glue ;). Maybe I can give some kind of scientific background why the superglue method works and the part is not flying of when you turn on the lathe, and why you can easily get the part off when prying on the edge: the main characteristic for all glues is that they withstand shear loads very good but pretty poorly perpendicular pulling loads/tensile loads, and superglue is no exception on this, neither the glue on the masking tape. So the disc being glued on the piece of aluminium and then put into the lathe sees mostly shear loads while being turned, and though when working on it with the prying iron you apply mostly tensile forces. One comment I got quite a while ago when I murmurred something about hobby vs. professional work: definition of hobby is archieving minimal results while puting in maximal effort ;) I appreciate your sense on details when doing your videos, you always make sure giving us nice views and detailed descriptions, even if there's not a completition on the end, like a cliffhanger on your favorite tv show back in the 80's, you will survive until next friday, it's hard but it is surely managable. Looking forward to part2, BR, Sven.

Your work is always exceptional (except when it's not, but then you make it good content and it eventually becomes good work anyway) but I want to see how you tackle things that are more... everyday? I'm sure you've seen PaskMakes' channel, what do you think of his small-to-mid quantity manufacturing videos, like his mini clamps?

You basically took the words out of my mouth. I'd love some niche everyday items in this high quality machined Steampunk-esque style, however, I personally am afraid that I might not be willing to pay the price of the quality and hand machining that produces these sorts of stellar tools and parts. I would love to get an estimate of the finished product before actually committing to a "Yes I'll buy this" idea, but I am also definitely very interested in such products.

😂 I definitely have a lot of the more common items and tools I want to make. It's sometimes hard to justify making them at times because I already have some form of them.

Great vid, thanks for sharing it. Just a thought. You love making tools (possibly even more than making items?) and I have a suggestion for your next tool, although I suspect you already have it on your work list! A jig to square the rotary table. You mention squaring the table frequently and it does look like it’s a bind, not to mention a bit time consuming. You know the dimensions of your work plate intimately, so I suspect you could easily put a tool together that will fit the slots neatly an offer a very square (not to mention repeatable) orientation. It could literally be as simple as bar stock with grooves milled out to dovetail the top surface of the workplate.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Not a bad idea! Funny enough though there are grooves for alignment pucks in the faces of the rotary table. Similar to the ones on the bottom of the vise for aligning on the table slots. I never use them though because even with them there is potential for half a thou or so of being off square. And I wouldn't be able to resist checking the tram anyway 😂

And the insert dove tail be 70% split slightly spread apart,(about.020", so the threads are tapered, and will allow the insert part remain snug with wear, or be locked in place,) drilled for a 1/4"-20 grub. with 1-3 per part spreading tge doves tail for a tight fit without maring the bottom of the dovetail, also possibly look and marking 360° marks on the base, anf a pointer on the top plate. And have numbers at common angles, 360° /0° ,22.5°,30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120° , 150° , 180°, and so on . I wish i could make things like this, i hope i can manage to get a hobby shop together soon!✌️

Everyone can be smart in hindsight (especially coming from someone who isn't actually a machinist). But instead of pulling out shims and trying to level it, couldn't you just have fixed the already machined surface to the bottom and then taken a fly cut on the aluminium plate?

** Being ancient, I was around when isocryanate first hit the market. I think it has improved since then, as I experienced a lot more failures w/ it than successes. I wasn't machining, then, so few mated surfaces; about the only thing I found it useful for was gluing glass together. Because of those early experiences, I didn't have much use for the stuff. About 10 yrs ago, an engineer friend of mine died, & he dad gave me a mountain of his stuff. He was into RC cars, something I had zero experience with, so I got an introduction the newest advances in isocryanate tech. Three things I learned about, & modern iso- formulas, have converted me to a regular user. One of them, the iso- desolver, makes defixturing less of a damage risk. In situations where max iso- strength is not a major factor, iso- cure accelerant is handy. The best of the 3 was discovering the thick, black iso- RC'rs use to repair tires. I've found lots of uses for it. ** Great technique using the 123 block to help stabilize the calipers; have to remember that one. ** On a tangentally related topic, a number of years ago, I needed to upgrade my small fire/water proof file box. Not having a use for the old one, it sat until I was consolidating my several glue/adhesive/epoxy boxes. Something gave me the idea to use the old file box; think it was the idea of it being sealed, might extend some of the glues' shelf life. What I didn't anticipate was learned just how much odor & nasty chemicals I was removing from my work environment. When I had the 3 open boxes, I never smelled any of the glues until I opened & used them. The first time I opened the sealed boxed, the chemical stench nearly floored me. Wondering if it was glue type specific, I put each type in the box, & put the rest on the back porch. I found that all of the various glues & adhesives gave off quite a bit of gas. The experience opened my eyes to how much passive toxic chemical exposure occurs in a shop setting. You're aware of it when using the stuff, & take ventilation/respirator precautions where needed, but I never thought about the day to day, passive exposure, just from storing the stuff. It's too late to matter for an old fart, like me, but you young guys & girls, store that stuff in sealed boxes, or in well ventilated spaces, away from your common work area. It might prevent you from dealing w/ cancer, like I've been doing for almost 3 years, when YOU get ancient. Thanks for the vid, GeoD

I will be watching more of your videos in the future

[@basdekker5338]

Hello Mister inheritance machining! some nice and inspiring videos you got out there! thanks for that! can i make a little sugestion? heard you about the rough surface finisch in the middle due to the lower cutting speed. I saw in an other vid of yours you got a VFD installed to make the lathe run on a single fase. you can use this VFD to crank up the RPM by converting the frequency to a higher level. if you combine this with your digital measuring system or a slide potentiometer you can fix the cutting speed. by decreasing the cutting diam the VFD ramp up the RPM and visa versa. hopefully this is helpful to you kind regards Bas from the Netherlands

[@cjtaylor0103]

If you still want to be able to crank out a radius quickly, but very accurately, bore a hole in your belt grinder table to accept different radius pins. Then use the in/out adjustment of the table to achieve the radius while your part is registered to the pin. Assuming you're grinding that radius around some type of hole. Tell the truth, did you pick up the super glue arbor from Clickspring?! The pin idea in the grinder's table is from Jer Schmidt. Great maker.

[@martinda7446]

That was lovely esp. seeing the delrin bushings being fitted with such precision.. Don't know why but it's so satisfying. I have been wondering, as I watched, how would you would go about making a very low friction bearing of similar dimensions? For a record player for instance. How would you finish the surface of the bearing and what bushing material would you select? I imagine it would sit on a ball on another piece of tool steel. Or would you finish the spindle with a conical end. 'Bearing' in mind the ideal would be extreme low friction and no perceptible play, along with a long life, hence why the spindle finish should be high polish for minimal wear and lowest friction.

That was pretty terrifying. Gluing tape to tape, ultimately it is the tape adhesive holding the work, not the glue. Glad it worked. I guess I don't understand though. You center drilled the workpiece, why not make a mandrel to turn the OD, then chuck the OD to face?

Edit: Screw it I'm gonna make a list of little details that get a reaction cuz this is my first vid here and it seems brilliant The scope creep text had me laughing "Oh yeah, inner peace is restored" very much felt "thinking tongue" also so real the click super power worked! ok I just realised I need a stool

Well nobody made the joke yet so (Looks at thumbnail) Omg can't believe you made it into smash bros Anyways, hope the algorithm continues to show your stuff to everyone, it seems like you have a nice community here.

$50 of Delrin, shocking how much plastic costs these days. Just started learning basic skills and still in shock with raw material prices, figured plastic would be cheap…

As someone who thought that a bed needed a frame built out of wooden joinery made with 10*10 cm Douglas Fir I can wholeheartedly say that if it's worth engineering, it's worth over-engineering

If you keep up practicing, you maight even get as good as This Old Tony with your finger snaps. He can cut stock to size and bend things with his finger snaps. Be careful, though, he has made pretty wild things out of tossing chips at his lathe running in reverse. I was never that good, but I didnt know practice enough, either.

Ngl, Inheritance Machining is the modern day Bob Ross of the Machining world. Legit same chill vibe when describing everything.

Oh man, it's already coming together beautifully! And whilst you're right to call out the feature creep I'm certain if I had a similar tool I'd want every feature too.

[@InheritanceMachining]

that's just the nature of every tool I make 😂 thanks!
