I get a kick out of accomplished machinist's jargon. Using very accurate lathes & milling equipment, and measuring with Vernier calipers and other gauges they make very precise instruments using tool steel and then refer to them as "semi-accurate or semi-precision". On another channel an equally accomplished machinist measured, tweaked & adjusted to within 10 thousandth and called it "close enough". No slight intended, its just makes an old "hack & tack" guy like myself smile. Thanks for your time and effort put into all your videos.

I do understand the advantage to using the height gauge set up now. I am looking forward to the rest of the operation. Thank you very much for your videos; you certainly are a good teacher. I don't remember if I told you I was a vocational masonry teacher in a high school vocational school, juniors and seniors. Really enjoyed it until the "tree huggers" got involved with the course of study suggestions. Some strange ideas about designing a lab so wheel chair students could learn bricklaying. I respect anyone who would overcome anything life would deal out to them but there must be logical limits. Sorry if I offended any with disabilities; that was not my intention. Greg

I get interrupted all the time when I'm machining stuff. So, I take a sharpie and write where I am on the part itself. I have a mandrel on the lathe right now showing the last mic reading and the measurement I want to achieve. ( @ .789" -> .752") comes off easy with brake clean. Not perfect but works for me.

He had moved the table in or out which ever when he entered the end of the part. Now when he comes to the opposite side the table was offset the width of the tang and half of the tool diameter. To go out the other side he would have had to rotate the rotary table and at the same time move the y axis to the other side of the tang. This procedure is quite difficult by hand. Likely wouldn't even notice this on a CNC machine.

It can be. For me though, finding tooling and equipment at bargain basement prices is part of the fun. The expense is further offset if you do small jobs for friends and neighbors. I do repair work for myself to save money in the maintenance of my tractor, etc so it saves me more. Most years I'll either break even or save a few bucks.

@JasonDoege7 жыл бұрын
It's a functional hobby, though, in that there are things you can make and repair that you just could not, otherwise. Sometimes just one repair can pay for the bulk of the tools, sometimes more. Frequently the savings from making something versus buying it can pay for the tools outright.
