Making A New Drawbar For The Cincinnati Horizontal Milling Machine - Manual Machinist

[@edsmachine93]

Good morning Josh. Good idea on the new drawbar. Nice job. That should last for many years. Have a good weekend. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Thanks, you too!

Good morning everyone watching, from Lincolnshire UK 🇬🇧

[@EverettWilson]

Good morning from the western side of the US.

[@TalRohan]

good morning from Wales (actually now its afternoon)

That's a very nice old saw. Looking forward to the track pins.

I've made a few drawbars for my horizontal mill as well. One of the easier ones I made (for 50 taper tools) consisted of 1"-8 tpi threaded rod that I cut to length. I placed a flange nut on the end like you did, but I then threaded a second flange nut against it (flange to flange) and tightened the shit out of them. The first nut was then cross drilled for a roll pin. After the roll pin was inserted I backed the second nut off and the first nut was very rigidly held to the threaded rod. This method works because the first nut is jammmed up hard against the thread flanks by the second nut. Once the roll pin is inserted the first nut cannot move axially (nor can it rotate) and stays jammed against the thread flanks, making a rigid connection. I've done it a few times and it's worked pretty well. There's nothing worse than trying to use a shitty drawbar. Ken

Morning all from Willow, Alaska.

I love Joshes Johnson, there is something special about it.😂 Great work Josh keep the chips coming.

[@CenterLineDesigns]

Nice work on the videoing sir. I enjoy how you took the time to change through camera angles. I learn from your videos!

[@ralphaverill2001]

Make a tool the way it needs to be to work best. Great video.

[@michaellehmann280]

Nice job Josh! Enjoy watching your channel! Look forward to seeing next weeks video.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Thanks so much!

[@larry3064]

Great job man.

[@jamesbonnema1041]

Thanks for answering my question. I forgot about the reverse issue.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Only on the gear head machines.

[@anthonyrivers8395]

Always interested in seeing how that whole thing works. Much needed video. Good reference material. Doesn’t a big Johnson make this video rated R😂😂

[@TopperMachineLLC]

It is a filthy johnson. Lol

[@ChrisChandler-dj1wy]

Three tape measures hanging on the horizontal bandsaw, I KNEW I wasn't the only one

[@TopperMachineLLC]

And you know something. They are rarely ever where they belong.

[@mfc4591]

AS long as you don't mix up your Johnson and the drawbar, all will be well. Have a great week end.

[@TalRohan]

All machinists could benefit from having a big Johnson...😉 Nice simple but very necessary project Always a good day when you feel like it was a worthwhile way to spend the time to do it Thanks for sharing Josh

[@MattWybiral]

Fire up my big Johnson 😂😂😂

[@Paul-FrancisB]

And release the nuts 😅

[@anthonyrivers8395]

rated R part2😊

First from Ubon, Thailand

[@BeenThrDunThat]

Your "firing up the big Johnson" and mine have slightly different meanings I think 😂

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Lol

[@StuartsShed]

No hipsters this week. 👍 Red loctite - I still am amazed at how strong that stuff is.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Lol, you still should watch him. He is actually very talented.

[@StuartsShed]

I don’t doubt that in all honesty. I’ll try him again.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

@@StuartsShed it helps to actually watch silent with captioning. I really like the guy, and he is good, but he is so monotone in his videos. Not that way on the phone or in person.

[@michaelcarey5981]

I follow another KZbin machinist, Abom, uses Anchor Lube for a lot of tapping applications as well

[@BeenThrDunThat]

Josh uses it as well as needed

[@TopperMachineLLC]

It really is a great product

[@grege2383]

Just curious, are you using red 262 or 272? I'm assuming 272 given the application you're using it for. A lot of us in the radio control helicopter world use 262 for it's holding strength and resistance to turning if it does break loose but without the necessity for heat if we need to disassemble it.

[@TopperMachineLLC]

I believe I used 272, but could be wrong. I have a few different ones.

[@elmarqo_3448]

When you inserted the draw bar into the mill the flange nut went into the draw bar support. Does the support unbolt from the over arm and move to the front when you need it?

[@TopperMachineLLC]

Yes, it is just stored there for safety.

[@erik_dk842]

On a lathe where it's safe to use reverse, would you thread away from the shoulder, like Joe Pie teaches?

[@TopperMachineLLC]

No. I never had an issue with threading to a shoulder. I considered trying it, but would have to buy different tooling and retrain myself.
