    I can tell you want to build a safe door. Not just any safe door but a replica of an old bank vault maybe in 1/10 scale from a solid block of brass or bronze. Something of your own design. It’s just a feeling I have.

    As a true novice in machining, I have to say this was a masterclass in machining instruction! I wouldn’t have thought that you could make those door features without CNC, and the machining choices you made will require me to watch this 10 times to fully appreciate. In fact, I wonder if I’ll ever get it completely without trying to make the door myself. Thanks for your incredible videos- they are beyond helpful for newbies like me!

      This is exactly what you need if you’re trying to think like a machinist. Joe goes into detail not only what, but why. Great logic from a highly talented professional. Worth its weight in gold! Keep watching, go back to the early days of his videos and it’s like going to school, but at your own pace and schedule. Keep coming back, just remember to show your gratitude by hitting the button 😂

  • @JonLaughton
    @JonLaughton 6 месяцев назад +3

    Great piece of work! You certainly need to be on your toes to pull off something like that on a manual mill, and always be conscious of where your table backlash and cutter dwells are. I'm surprised that you've not rounded the external corners and thrown out the single hinge pin idea to make it a much more convincing "cast" door, but I know nowt...

    The outer hinge parts do look as if they are integral to the door. I'm curious about the decision to make them as separate parts, rather than actually being part of the door. The internal fasteners and lugs wouldn't be needed.

    You talking about coolant reminded me; I recently posted a pic of me using coolant on a boring bar operation, a friend commented that coolant should only be used when drilling.
    Well, it’s a long time since I went to college & I don’t remember being told when I should & shouldn’t use coolant, but this part was getting very hot, it was a piece of 25mm square steel & I was making an ER20 square collet block on my mini lathe, that’s pushing a mini lathe but I know what my machine is capable of (I also can’t find ER20 collet blocks anywhere).
    Yes, my mini lathe has a mini coolant system setup (not mist coolant, I don’t like mist coolant on open machines, I don’t wanna be breathing that stuff in thanks, it’s a proper pump & sump setup).
    I say use coolant for 2 reasons, primarily to cool (hence the name) & also, as you say in this video, to wash away chips.
    I notice that Curtis on Cutting Edge Engineering uses it for all sorts of different processes.
    That was the first time I’ve ever heard anyone say it’s only used for drilling, & he was an older man who’s worked in the industry (although I personally don’t rate his skills).
    The weird thing is, this boring bar has a coolant hole drilled through its length 😂

  • @LoneEagle2061
    @LoneEagle2061 6 месяцев назад +1

    Given that you were on the rotary table (I get that set-up for convex corner rads would be too much for the value of the feature); I wonder why you didn’t crank the job round to 45 and make the corner relief as chamfers (straight cuts in X and Y at the canted orientation)?

    Hello Joe. I have always liked your decisions to modify a build to suit you. When we are happy we make good decisions and do excellent work. Being not happy will stick out like a sore thumb eh. For great pieces you said it perfectly. MAKE THE SETUP WORK. The first time a/any tool touches the piece everything is revolving around that. Nice trick with the wrench on the wiggler. I have almost been tagged with a wild one. Makes a fella think and appreciate things indeed. Once again it has been a pleasure to spend this time with you. Thanks and take care old friend.
