- We made it to episode 30! This week we start off by playing with the K&T mill. I then show some viewer mail from this past week, and last I show you a couple machining jobs I had to knock out. I had more stuff I wanted to share this week but not enough room in this video. We might have some short clips to post later.
I hope you guys enjoy, and thanks to all the viewers for making this a successful series. I enjoy building the SNS videos for you, and being able to show a mix of subjects together.
Best Regards,
Adam
I'm not a machinist, I've never even done any sort of metal working, and I still find these video's really interesting and enjoyable. thanks Adam.
That is a Nice tool that Colin sent you He did an Awesome job on making It ...I enjoy watching every SNS episode
Hey Adam,
Happy 30th SNS!!!
Colin sure did a top notch build on the work stop clamp, I'm sure you will get a lot of use out of that bad boy!
Excellent job on the wiper assembly, I'm sure the owner will be very happy with the finished upgrade!
Thanks for yet another great mix SNS episode!
Ray
Thanks for stopping by Ray!
Happy 30th Episode!! Thanks for sticking with the original concept of sharing your ideas and your continued work in your family business as a home job shop.
Thanks Todd!
I knew you wouldn't be able to hold out without getting some chips off the K&T :) The bronze bushing looked great on the part at the end!
Thanks Steve. Last weekend I just had to make a cut. I enjoyed my Sunday working on it.
adam you take the time each week to thank folks for sending in mail, well I want to thank you for taking the time and effort for putting together some great videos which I enjoy so much. Keep up the good work
I'm always amazed at the drawers full of 'stuff' it takes to do whatever job comes in. Neat video, thanks!
Congrats on #30, Adam!
The way time is flying buy SNS 100 is just around the bend!
Colin did a great job on the stop!
Thanks!
Jeff
The thing is: You are honest, skilled, modest and have integrity. Keep being you! :)
Adam, I liked the idea of the brass bushing "hat" to cover the shaft carrier to keep out the water. NICE work!!
Eric
Just as a random compliment, but when it comes to sharing/baring your soul on camera in a concise and smart way, you're really really good at it. I find you easier and more genuine to watch than just about ANYTHING on TV, which is why I don't watch TV anymore : D
Congrats on SNS 30. Thanks Adam
Nice work as usual! I really like how varied the types of jobs you are able to do, and I hope your customers appreciate the quality and pride you give to each one of their projects. Sadly we used to never even have to mention stuff like that as it was a given with American manufacturing, but it is becoming more and more rare nowadays. If there isn't an "app" for it on their phone then it almost doesn't exist to the kids in today's "me" generation. I hope you can get through to more young people with your videos and emphasize your work ethic and the honor in fine craftsmanship, I really do!
Thankfully this machinist's community really gives me hope. Everytime I see something like Colin's work, and his selflessness in giving you such a beautiful tool you guys remind me of how many good people there still are in this world. I can only hope to someday learn a tenth of the skills you all possess, and I'm really trying. I made a "Chips and Slips" video that won't seem to upload, and it showed my first turned piece, but it just would take. I will shoot another, I've got Tom's book "Doing it Better" on the way, and have even made an appointment to speak with the counselor at a college in Stockton to see if I can get into their Machinist's program around my busy schedule.Taking care of Pop is the most important thing right now, and the Cherry Juice you recommended is at least making him some refreshing drinks, has it done anything for your foot?
I really enjoy everything you do, and want to thank you again for the entertainment as well as the inspiration. I hope you have a relaxing Sunday and a great coming week...Aloha, Chuck
Good to hear from you Chuck. I'm glad to hear your taking an interest in learning machining. I wish more young people would do the same, but guys like Mike Rowe are helping to get the word out that people don't have to go to college for 4 years to learn a career. Learn a Skill, Master a Trade is his motto. I love it!
The cherry juice seems to be helping, as I havnt had any pain for a while now, but only time will tell, and I need to stay on it daily.
You'll like Tom's book. It's great! Lots of tips and tricks in there.
Thanks Chuck!
Adam
Congratulations on SNS30, enjoyed them all. Thanks.
Adam your videos are very informative and a pleasure to watch. I have viewed all 30, and I have learned a lot watching you. A lot of your vids show an easier way to do projects. I have cut my machining time by a third with the tips you've shown. Keep up the good work!
Bob
You do beautiful work your a joy to watch and learn from... wish I would have had someone like you to teach me, Your instructions are clear and easy to follow ty again....
Great job, as always. That brass bushing is brilliant.
7 and a half months of SNS and still going strong! :) Thank you very much for all the videos, Adam. Keep up the great work! :)
They just keep getting better! Thanks for the next 30.
Adam the whole series of super chucks are great! Nice work on the wiper assembly. and congrats on #30
Very well done, looking forward to the next 30 episodes. Very best regards George from Sunderland United Kingdom.
Congrats on 30 SNS! Love the channel Adam! keep up the great content. Nice gift from Colin as well, he does some great work too.
Another sweet episode Adam! congrats on #30. At first you were a bit shy but now you are a Rockstar..lol! Talking about all the overtime at work it's the same here. With all the rain we've had this year(in the southeast)though we just might as well work. Not enough long periods of decent weather to plan things. That stop Colin made for you is jam up. I could see those doing well on the market.
We're at that point in the year where the weather sucks! Hot and humid, and rains almost everyday! I'm looking forward to the fall months, I'm ready for that cool down. Colin did a fantastic job on the mill stop!
Thanks Steve.
Adam
You keep makin' videos, we'll keep watching! Your mix of subjects is really interesting. I like the big projects you do at your day job. Thanks for recording that stuff! You go out of your way to do that and it's much appreciated.
Loved the wiper arm project. Well filmed and great job!
really have enjoyed watching these 30 SNS videos. been watching other vids you have made also. all well worth watching.
Another great video, thank you Adam.
G'day Adam
The viewers are part of your success , the real success comes from knowledge passed on to you from your teachers and mentors. I noticed you mention a lot of your tools having belonged to your Grandfather !!!! Wow third generation machinist. Yep, that's success. And im pretty sure lots of people would love to have your knowledge and skills set.
Hobby Machinist from Australia
Nice job Adam on the older Nova wiper arms, The owner of the Nova will be more than happy, I would be.
Great video Adam! I always look forward to your videos. Congrats on 30 SNS's. Watching your videos has made me take a great interest in machinist work. Its great to create something tangible that looks and works great that will outlast anything on the market. Im looking forward to seeing that K&T live up to its full potential.
You have a Natural Gift for teaching , supplying Information in a manner that makes it easily absorbed by others. In some ways I envy that gift but alas we all have gifts that are unique and important . Your channel has been a serious inspiration to me in ways that may seem totally absurd. I have never been very organized and ive never been good at establishing goals and seeing them through to the end. When i see your early vids as opposed to your more recent content the amount of growth i see is whats so inspiring. you come across as a Very Genuine person and that in itself is a rare quality these days. So if in the beginning you could have asked god to make your channel a success with x amout of subscribers what would that number be and im guessing you would have settled for much less than what you have. Keep it up and may you continue to grow and be Blessed.
Congratulations man, keep up the good works!
Great work Sir. Haven't been watching very long. My field of expertise is electronics, I've always fixed my own things when they break no matter mechanical or electrical your videos are good educational tools. Thanks for sharing 😁
Love all ur videos and the projects you work on
Tha nks for sharing
Manny
Congrads on episode 30, thanks for all your hard work producing these videos. i really enjoy the slide shows when you can't make a video. i always learn something new and it great that i can take what i have learned an apply it in my work.
Congrats on the 30! I love the format and your personality is very encouraging. I feel welcome even though I am not able (yet) to make a video contribution. Thanks for sharing. Great programs.
Adam, keep up doing videos, these are great! Greetings from Finland!
Hey Adam, nice 30th video, I like the modification to the wiper arm. it just goes to show that some things can be improved on. I made a door hinge pin for a guy at work for his 72 Chevy with a bearing and an o-ring to make the hinge work smoother. He said it works great, the only problem is he only wanted 1, I told him I would make one for both sides but he said no just 1 was all he needed, well guess what, now he wants 1 for the other side. So when in doubt make 2. Thanks for the videos
Buddy
I almost ran into that problem today. I almost made two of a part, but decided not to. Well after a scare and almost scrapping the part, I was able to save it and keep going.
Hey, Adam . I make a big bowl of popcorn and pull up a chair and watch SNS . Problem is I run out of video before I run out of popcorn LOL . If you want to make a SNS part two it's alright by me can't get enough of your show man . Thanks for the vids, Have a great week Buddy .
Terry
Thanks Terry! Glad you enjoy them. I'd love to make more, it's just very time consuming and try not to put all my eggs in one basket. Gotta save some content for the week. I have made a two parter in the past, and you never know, I may do it again some time.
Dear Adam
Another great video, hard to believe it is number 30! Please keep up the great work.
I love the Jacob's Super Chucks too. I have three, the largest being the 18N. Two of them were bought used and the the third was new, old stock. Two were made in the US and the other in England. All three are top quality products. However, in my most up-to-date tooling catalogue that carries Jacob's Chucks, they are listed as "imported" and I recall hearing someone else noting they are now made in China!!!!! So I would recommend that anyone looking for one be sure to note that it is a US or UK made specimen.and not an import as I know the quality will NOT be the same.
Best regards.
Paul
Last Year a got a new 16N chuck at work with a 40 taper arbor, and I was surprised that the chuck was labeled as made in China. The chuck itself works fine, but I can tell the difference in the finish. The bad is that the chuck key doesn't work worth a flip! It's too loose in the hole and doesn't get a good bite on the gear. So I just keep using my older (5 years) 16N and chuck key. When I do use the new chuck, I use the old chuck key on it.
The 18N has a much easier sized chuck key to use and you can bit down on it harder.
It's sad to see the continuing decline of well known USA made tools and products actually made here, and being shipped in from China.
Adam
Hi Adam
Congrats on 30.. Another great video...production, content, workmanship and explanations...just perfect!
Typical for me, Sunday morning (front row in the pew of the church of Abom) watching you with my coffee...great way to start my day with my bud!
FYI...amazed how you keep everything so clean! I need to step this up in my shop, Chui just ragged my ass every time he touched something yesterday!
ATB
Chuck
Glad you could join me for coffee this morning, I'm doing the same. Thanks for all the great comments. Just posted another one for you I think you'll like.
I do like a clean shop, and sometimes things are really a mess in here when Im heavy on a job. I like to clean up before the videos. I try and keep it clean, and the tools put away, but it's never perfect. LOL
Thanks Chuck!
Adam
I'm itching to see what is wrong with the K&T mill, enjoying the vids and just as much your enthusiasm for doing them, keep going!
awesome show.. thanks
another great video. not watching these in ay particular order. you dont see to many horizon mills. good job resurecting it.
Congrats on SNS 30 Abom!!! Your success is well earned and couldn't happen to a better guy. Keep up the good work.
Gill
Thank you very much Gill!
Great job my boy...you're just special like your 30 Saturday Special. Greetings from Aruba...hugs buddy!
Thanks Rudolfo!
Adam, looks like Colin moved you up into a higher machinist class. That's a very good looking tool. Maybe he can start a small production line and catch a few customers.
As usual, great machining and another great SNS.
Thanks....13
A. Booth Pimp my ride! lol Colin fixed you up on a sweet looking stop. I am sure you will find that very handy for a lot of tasks especially for repeat setups. Congrats on SNS30 and even bigger congrats on the 1st cut with the K&T !! This week I was reading a book and it had an add from 1919 proclaiming the record cut on a horizontal mill. With 35hp cutting 55000psi steel they did 1/2"Doc x 5"wide with a 24"/min feed rate resulting in 900lbs of steel removal per hour!! I would hate to be the guy cleaning up after that job I would need a backhoe to pack off the chips!! lol It is amazing what some of these old mills could do!
That's some cool reading right there! it is amazing to see the big cuts being made, making what we do looks like child play. For the average guy, and average job shop work, I'm sure the K&T will impress. I can't wait to make some deep cuts.
Thanks Bryan.
Keep posting! I look forward to them.. Learned a lot from you
Keep them up m8, I enjoy any videos you produce. Reminds me of when I was training.
Great Video as always, please keep them coming :-) You are a nice Guy.
Your just a showoff Adam,
But in saying that a master of his trade is ALLOWED to be !!!!!!!!
Bloody beautiful repair, and it makes me feel guilty that the wiper arm set-up on my truck is flopping and flapping around everywhere. Enjoy your weekend mate you deserve it.
ATB
Matt
Thanks Matt!
Great Video now you are working down on my level, well a little smaller I work on British cars. Keep up the grate work.
Fantastic, keep them coming!
Entering the world of metric :)
M's, cm's and mm's
Not that I like them! LOL I still convert all my metric numbers to decimal. It's what I was taught, kind of like learning a foreign language.
keep it up Adam. I always look forward to the next episode...
When you said sns30 you already had my attention. I really like your RUclips movies, pls continue then. I only have a small southbend lathe buth learn a lot fron your movies, thanks a lot. Hope to see SNS50 winning seceral weeks because i know i has learned a lot from now. Greetings from Belgium
Thanks Bart!
I like that little pointy live center. I need to get one of those since I do a lot of small parts on my lathe. I think sometimes those little jobs can become more time consuming that a bigger job. I was looking at a collet closer for my lathe the other day. I think it would be handy to have. Enjoyed the video.
Steve you can buy those centers pretty cheap hear days. Mines an import model and it works good. They come with different changeable tips. Very handy.
The collet chuck is a lifesaver too.
Thanks.
Adam
Adam, greetings from TURKEY, love your videos.
Adam: Great videos, I hope there's 30 more. I really like the heavy machining work that you do.
Nice work Adam, love the vids & useful info. Have been watching for several weeks and have learned a lot; two big thumbs up. :) :) :)
Hey Adam, congrats on the 30th SNS, looking forward to the next 30 :)
Keep them coming bro! I also have a big K&T horizontal that Im trying to get hooked up and running. If you get repeat arbors I could use some!
Hi Adam, its really nice to see the old girl back among the living. I told you the DRO worked, nice. The machine was actually made in England for K&T under contract. Oh, and by the sound of that cut I am guessing you need to increase the feed a bit. Usually you use the A support on the outside and the B support on the backside of the cutter, one on each side. That is a super ridgid setup!
Never seen two supports being used before. I can tell you that small support "A" wasn't enough for those bigger cutters. I fixed up the style B today and tested with a big 3/4" cutter and it did much better. Well get it figured out man. I used to run these big milling cutters a lot but that was years ago now.
Thanks James.
Adam
great to see your gal back in operation James, .....Adam.....lets make some Fenner Keyways now.....
Abom79 If you could find, or make, a bushing for that other B style support you can run a B on both sides as well. I like the B style bushings because you have some wiggle room in that the running bushing is wider.
CONGRATS ! I can't wait for SNS 60. Have a good one bud.
Thanks Mike. hey I used your needle nose pliers today! Work perfect for removing those BASTARD stringy chips!
Really sounds like pump or presure relief.
My Best ,
Tighe
Hopefully something simple Tighe.
Sorry so late but really let me know if you need help ! Thats what we do fix shit that nobody else wants to mess with .
My Best ,
Tighe
Hi Adam,
I've enjoyed your channel for a good while now, and, it's always a treat every time you're on.
Many things make the content enjoyable, like the new approach to problems, variety of subjects, and, last but not least, your unique personality.
Just go on, we are all expecting the new content.
Thanks and cheers,
Pierre
Very good! Congrats!
another great video, thanks
Cool hanging with Adam.
Pure genius! Congrats on nearing 15,000 subs!!!
great video adam a wide range from a custom car wiper unit to a take away extraction unit also that
was a well made tool cant wait for the next installment
Thanks Andy!
Fantastic,show
Busch light???? I can see you are a man of extraordinary great taste. Its my favorite as well.
Great job on this weeks SNS Adam. Cant wait till you get the KT running properly and get some jobs loaded in there.
You are quite welcome for the gift as I'm sure it will get used plenty and not likely to find a better home.
Colin ;-)
*****
Maybe, likely not.... I started checking some pricing on factory made units.....cheap is $99, good is $199. Hard to make a living making them in small quantities at those prices. I would have to shelve it until the shop had some dead time.
*****
It's got to be hard tom compete with those cheap import products and prices. You about gotta have a one off item that no one else sells to make it now. But even Brad is finding out it's not long before someone overseas will copy you.
I think I prefer having only one of two of the CompEdgeX custom made mill stops!
Abom79
Well.... one of three....I'm making ONE more!!
For me... ;-)
Awesome job as always
congrats on your 30th :) as always an awesome video :) thanks Adam
I just gave a 18n to a friend of mine today, he has helped me a bunch.
Hey Adam, it's me from the future, you have already gotten to SNS159. And wow your shop is different.
Hey Bud,
Nice to see you bust out the TIG welder. For a minute there I thought you were going to use some 5/32 7018.
Talk to you soon,
Tom
Hey don't dare me! I love my stick welder. If it wasn't for the tig I might be oxy-fuel welding them small parts.
Thanks Tom. Hope you have a good weekend.
Adam
*****
TIG is best for these small jobs, but if stick was all I had, you can bet I would have used it.
Abom79 I know somebody who broke a tooth on a benchtop lathe change gear, I believe from a craftsman 109. He brought it to work and the guy who welded it up used a stick welder, and didn't touch the sides of either tooth next to the broken one. Now whats a steady hand! Those change gears are tiny! And it worked after recutting the tooth.
Really nice work.
Hey Adam,
Congratulation of 30 editions of SNS! It's funny how you start something like that, thinking you will put up a few videos and before you know it there are 30 episodes in the can! It looks like you can put some pretty hungry cutters on the K & T. It will be great to get the power feed working. I know how it is to have something you want to use and not be able to use it. Great work on the wiper linkage! Keep cranking out the great SNS programs, buddy! Before you know it, you'll have 100!
Have a good one!
Dave
Thanks Dave. I spent some time today working on another part of the K&T that needed attention. Another video for later.
I like the way you think when you make something C.Dove
It would be interesting, to put a dial indicator on the top of the arbor shaft and take a large cut in climb, just to see how much deflection there is.
Exactly. I'm an absolute n00b if there ever was one in machining, but I was wondering "why is that not a climb cut - it's supposed to be superior, if you machine is rigid enough?!?"
Great show!......nice fix on the wiper project! I was hoping you would have too much content, and need to start a Monday and Wednesday Night SpeciaL!......funny that you were talking about 18 & 20N chucks......was just looking around at them this week to buy.....the 20N's are pretty salty!....BTW....I've got an extra 50 Taper Lyndex chuck arbor with a JT4 if you can use it.....just let me know
Jim, I wouldn't hurt to add that to my small but growing inventory of 50 taper milling arbors. Not sure if I have a chuck to fit it or not though. I just looked at my extra 18N chuck and I cant find a mount size listed on it.
As for content, I was hoping to add another slideshow at the end but I already had way too much video for this one. It'll have to wait for another episode.
Thanks Jim.
Adam
Abom79
My 18N that is unmarked, was a JT4....1,124" on the big end.
The Jacobs 3/4” in super-chuck is all the chuck I usually need but the 1” just seems like something I neeeeed..(when my wife isn’t with me)
I enjoy all your stuff, hell i even watched almost the whole clip of you with your dog in your lap LOL
what i´m trying to say is, that you´re not just a verry competent machinist, you are also a verry likeable guy.
(ever considered teaching?)
Keep it up Buddy!
Hi
Adam
Great video
I wish you had not mentioned the "rattle" on your collet chuck
Now I can hear it lol
I thought about that when I was editing the video. Apparently when I tighten the screws that hold the two handle halves together it makes the knocking sound worse. Might have to looses them back up now.
Thanks for stopping by John.
Adam
Another fine video !!
Hi Adam ! I'm trying to convince the Universe to add more Saturdays... In the meantime, I hope this will lead to yet more great videos and awesomeness from you.
Started machining a few months ago after enjoying watching you doing things, thanks for that !
Cheers from France
(btw, what's that great song playing at the start/end of your videos ?)
Somebody got some Monster Burgers!! lol I love Hardee's
I am addicted
Adam;
Congrats on #30. I have to say I have learned a lot by watching you work on the various projects you have shown. Also, that was a nice tool that Colin made, it looks similar to the one that Tom Lipton did a couple of videos on.
You mentioned you needed to figure out how to get the K&T set up so the larger bearing surface on the outboard end of the arbor could be used. When watching the video, at about 11:04 you went to a close up of that bearing surface while the cutter was in action and I thought I saw a wobble in the bearing surface (it looked like more than a few thou of run out as compared against the background). Is there a possibility the arbor may have a very slight bend in it? Would that explain the chatter you saw in the surface finish of the cut?
Regards;
Ron Kluwe
Ron, I have been working on the larger outboard support today and getting it ready for use. Your right about the runout though. The 1" arbor does have a slight bend, so I may be looking for a new one to replace it.
Any chance you can bend it back? Would this be the same as trying to take out the bend in a prop shaft?
Ron
Keep the vids coming... :)
très bon boulot
Mate! Great vid, lot better than 'old' man Lipton's Meatloaf..........Just kidding Tom..
Instead of movies & other video channels. Your videos are priority in my list, right after from my work, so keep post please if you can. In my minimum sense very valuable for me moreover than entertainment it's a good education... Mechanical side.. Thank you
Nice video Adam. Hey is there a way you guys could compile a list of similar channels? I follow you, Kilroy, Shadon, Keith Rucker, fenner....always looking for good ol' boys to learn from.
Watching this in 2020 and we are on sns 300+
Adam, Congrats on SNS 30. Great video.
Question.... how do you find center on the shaft on the K&T?
There's a few different ways to do that, but on this one I used the cutter to find center by making small cuts untill I was cutting the full width of the cutter, and adjusting the Y axis until it was cutting evenly in the center. It was just for fun so I wasnt too concerned if I wasn't centered perfectly.
Thanks Herb.
Abom79
Thanks for the reply Adam, I've used that method before on my vertical mill, but mostly use an edge finder.
you can find the super chuck at
ebay type in 18n super chuck and there are a couple of them for $75.00
Ben and Keith actually made a deal right before I made this video, so he now has an 18N coming his way. I already have two of them myself, so next one hopefully is a 20N.
