CNC Machining a Pin Spanner Wrench
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2018
- In this video, we're making a pin spanner wrench for the toolpost grinder wheel arbor. Of course the same method can be used to make a face pin spanner of any size for any tool.
This provides a good opportunity to show some different workholding options, including the mini-palllet, so we can machine all sides of the wrench.
This isn't technically a part of the toolpost grinder, but here's a link to the toolpost grinder build anyway: • Making a Toolpost Grinder

Hopefully this isn't taken the wrong way.
Just wanted to say Congratulations!
This video is 4 years old, and you are clearly in much better shape in current videos. It's so easy to let life get in the way and slowly get out of shape as we age...and you have quite obviously committed to not being in that category.
Well done, sir. Actually giving me some motivation to stop using my squat rack as a material storage section of my garage.
I was going to comment the same thing but not as nice as you put it. I've been binging on a ton of these videos and wow you look different in this one lol. Don't let the media convince you that working out is white supremacy lol.
Got a little side tracked started watching this and 2 minutes in jumped to your 4 part talon grip jaw series, now I’m back here to finish ! Great channel
This older stuff is amazing too!
That spanner wrench is looking gorgeus!. Can't wait to see it all finished. All the best!
I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Thanks!
As always very good video!
Thanks!
Very good. Nice tool!
Thanks!
That's what she said!
This episode was just plain fun. I would have put in back in the vice and made a shapped cutout out of those holes or perhaps tig welded them shut and then taken a surface cut. That's what made this episode so much fun though. It sparks the imagination and you can think of all kinds of things and projects that one could do. Thanks so much for your work on these. I know how much extra work it takes to video and edited these for RUclips. I also know the money one earns is insignificant. So that must mean that at least in part you make these videos to share with us ☺
I started making the videos as a way to give back to the maker community that has provided so much information and support for me. If it grows to the point where it generates enough revenue to buy some more tools, that'll be cool, too.
You're helping me learn alot. Just decoding what tools you have and seeing you use them is helpful. There are so many one could buy if you were rich. If you are a budget though what you need or don't need for a project can be confusing. The other machining channels are great but the old timers, like Keith Fenner, have a lifetime's collection of tools. They teach you what the best tool for the job is. For those of just starting off though knowing what you could "get away with" is also helpfull. A good example of you teaching us that by example is you use of your spotting tool to also cut chamfers. Listing all the part numbers for the tools you used in the video is fantastic in this regard. There are lots of tidbits like those in your videos that I hope people notice and learn from.

By the way you look great at your new weight, and the addition of more smiles durring your introductons have not gone unnoticed.

Cheers, and thanks for taking the time to answer my myriad of questions.

Another clear, concise slice of shopcraft, well done as usual. Your video-fu is as confident as your machining skills, I'm guessing you deal with a ton of presentations in your day job?
I have one reservation about the wrench; I've observed that aluminum deforms unfortunately easily with a leveraged side load like pins in a relatively shallow bore. She's a beauty for sure, but I'm curious to see if the pins start mashing over the holes after a while.
Thank you. My job is technical, so when my mother asks me what I do at work, I tell her "I talk to people and I write stuff down." That describes most engineering pretty well.
It'll be interesting to see if the aluminum deforms. This one will get light use in my shop, so I'm not too worried. But if it does, maybe I'll make another one out of steel.
Try applying some colored epoxy paint (black, blue, or red) in your engraving before running you cleanup in the pocket. Obviously let it dry. The cleanup will remove all the excess paint and will make your engraving POP!!
Very pretty James. I had wondered if you were going to highlight the engraving by painting the lettering black before you took the skim cut to remove the nonexistent burrs. Might have helped with the glare.
Also if you use your engraving tool to do the chamfers after engraving would probably be more controllable.

Hi, just catching up on your videos. Would the option of a piece of Perspex work between the work and the pallet, say 2mm thick, so you can do the 2D contour lower than your stock, and cutting slightly into your sacrificial Perspex giving full depth of cut on the stock?
Been watching a lot of back catalogue lately. Apologies if you’ve mentioned in another vid… Just curious what’s the idea behind the positioning of the coolant/ air nozzle - It seems to be on the trail edge of the run usually. Is this so coolant is cooling the blade that’s made the cut and applying a little lubricant before it goes in for the next cut? Any reason you don’t have it on the opposite side getting air and coolant right at the point of cut? Is there a benefit on either side fir clearing chips? Ie in deep slots is it better in front (on side of forward direction) to clear chips vs back for light cuts where cooling/ lube is preferred?
The nozzle is always a compromise because cuts occur in every direction on complex parts.
Milling on top of a fixture- do you not use a sacrificial layer to prevent damage to the fixture?
The fixture is sacrificial. A quick pass with a fly cutter will clean it up.
Great video. I found your channel recently via your Thingiverse tooling drawer holders. Do you have a video detailing your mill conversion. I had a look at your over videos but didn't see one specific about it.
I haven't made one yet, but there seems to be some demand for it. It's on my list.
Also curious in the beginning did you buy a mill for your hobby/ 3d print business to make parts and then make videos or did you justify the purchase to create content. Obviously it’s a big gamble to buy a machine to make content. Guys do say don’t buy the machine then expect sales on wood channels.
I’m just trying to weighing up buying a cnc like a shapeoko. I don’t have a cnc now so justifying a large purchase that get compounded by exchange rates is hard to justify. I think landed the Nomad 3 is 5k (AUD).
I have a bike part business (fledging) and needed to make prototypes so got a prusa mk3s. I have used it for prototyping bike stuff and making leather dies (for wet moulding) for my dad. So the machine has actually been a worthwhile purchase.
Reason for a cnc like a nomad would be to make steel plates for my dad leather stuff as more durable than plastic (it mushrooms) and metal components for my bike stuff. But ROI would take a while I’m sure….
I'm generally bootstrapping. One machine allows me to generate cash to buy the next, which creates more opportunities. Cameras and computers are the only gear I buy specifically for content generation.
