I took up this fascinating career and started out, obviously, making a 1-jaw chuck. I could never quite get it to work, I guess I was missing something, never completed it and so had to go back to my old job as a political adviser.
THIS is what being a machinist is all about: You needed something, so you made it. And though you hit a few snags, you used your skills to fix them and move on. Great work, Em. Always happy to see your quality builds.
You like me have learned so much in our machine journey. But it’s the failures that teach the most and endure the longest. They are gold. You took on a real job and made a go of it. You lifted the standard of what’s possible in our own shops and I for one will pin the name plate of legend on you. Remember the tool room lathe, the precise milling machine, the super grinders, the planers all predate CNC. I program and run CNC machines but my shop is old school. I know what’s possible and it takes re-learning what our fathers and grandfathers knew. We fail along the way but we don’t quit. You never quit! At the end you stand behind a six jaw chuck and the world stands humbled in your presence. Keep it up pal!!!!
A spectacular result! You are both talented and fearless in the projects that you do. Keep doing them and please keep making these videos for our collective education, inspiration and enjoyment. Best wishes for 2022.
Ты просто образец выдержки и трудолюбия! А стремление к совершенству вызывает неподдельное уважение! Благодарю за твой труд и за видео, снять которое не меньший труд. Успехов тебе, терпения и вдохновения для новых и новых проектов! Молодец, так держать!
Gday Cà Lem, the results in my opinion are absolutely outstanding, you have done a beautiful job, please don’t be hard on yourself mate, to build a six jaw chuck is a massive achievement and you should be extremely proud of yourself, your talent is amazing, you are a true craftsman’s mate, thank you very much for sharing, from all my family we wish you and all your family all the very best for 2022, Cheers Matty, Bec, Trent and Toby…

Thank you very much Matty My best wishes to your family too 😘
From another Australian - I've seen a few of your projects and been amazed at what you get done. *This is your best yet. Its just stunning how well done this is.* Your attention to detail is humbling. On could have done it better? Buddy most of us can't do this at all. Its why we have to buy them and unless we have saved a lot of money can't afford ones this good.
You have now turned machining into an art! To see that parting line dissappear when you tightened the two halves together.... just magical! Thanks for sharing your talent and craft with us, Cheers
i bet your parents, and every teacher you ever had, feel proud af of their accomplishment in you. you are a credit to humanity, thanks for sharing and inspiring.
What an awesome display of engineering! I'm an engineer so I can truly say that! Failing some parts meant that you learned. A lot of people are afraid to fail but it's the way we learn and progress. If you don't make a single failure in a project then you learned nothing new. It's really as simple as that. With time you make less failures simply because your skill and experience progresses, but I'm almost 50 years old now and I still make failures from now and then and that only means that I've still got a lot to learn when trying to make new things! Making your own tools is the best thing a machinist can do because then you'll treat your tools with a lot of respect down the line, remembering the hours and effort you put into making them. This chuck is one such tool to be proud of! I would certainly be proud if I made one of them with the quality and finish you did! Have a prosperous new year! :)
Mind blown. This really gives you an appreciation of why a high quality commercial chuck costs so much. Even assuming most of it isn't done by hand, there's so many steps and so much precision is needed.
Cà Lem, your chuck project is easily the most impressive thing I’ve seen in 2021. Thank you for documenting it so well. Your work is an inspiration! Happy New Year, my amazing friend.
Unreal, your patience to take on a project like this is an art. The time to make a 6,4, or 3 jaw chuck to any level especially to your standards is outstanding. Well done. Dont be hard on yourself it can lead to self destruction.
All projects have errors, this was quite the ambitious project. Extremely nicely done with fantastic results. Thank you for sharing this with us. Just think of the scrap pile that Bison or Buck chucks have out back at there factory’s. LOL. Beautiful job.
Machinists: l need a 6 jaw chuck... Cà Lem: Hold my beer... That is an absolutely amazing piece of work. To design it is incredible, to come up with a way to make your design, the fixturing involved and the thought process to bring what you saw in your head to life are what set you apart from other machinists. Very well done!
Cà Lem: making other Metalworkers feel inadequate since 2017. Seriously though, great Job. My Teacher/Master in trade school was a certified master craftsman in 3 different metal related trades, but i am not sure if he could have done such a fine job. Keep it up!
I love all the fixturing and setups. Very good to see how you cut the teeth on the back of the jaw carriers. I need to make some custom soft-jaw carriers for one of my chucks. Seeing how you did it has inspired me to give it a try.
I've watched a lot of build videos over the years but this one was so impressive. I learned alot watching the process of how you made it, fixtures etc. Thanks for sharing, it was really cool !
Most makers for toolfest: "Coathanger? Screw extractor?" Cà Lem: "I know! A 'collet chuck holder' repeatable to 10 microns!" You're amazing, mate! Wishing you an equally amazing 2022 and maybe a contract with NASA!
1. Chucks are incredibly hard to make, and the more jaws the harder they are to make 2. No one in their right mind would attempt one, or expect it to be nearly perfect the first time. 3. You made a gorgeous, high precision 6 jaw chuck. 4. You are amazing! Happy and safe new year to you!
I've seen a few of your projects and been amazed at what you get done. *This is your best yet. Its just stunning how well done this is.* Your attention to detail is humbling.
Ah, Cà Lem, I've never seen such craftsmanship, expertise, skill and INGENUITY in one place ever !!! Your closing title is ALMOST correct. Yes "continuous improvement" is how we should all go forward, so perhaps you're right to say "could have done it better". HOWEVER I think you CAN BE VERY HAPPY with the existing result, it's a great achievement and a beautiful creation, and without YOU it would all still be stock steel and scraps in the warehouse !!!
I am thoroughly blown away by the attention to detail holy smokes! That chuck is an absolute work of art and a joy to watch being created. If I could be even 10% as good a machinist as you I'd be set for life :D
You are a true inspiration. The things you are able to create without the assistance of CNC equipment. I wish you and your loved ones peace, joy and health in the coming year.
Awesome work man. It was a lot of work with all the setup tools that you needed to make. Maybe you think you could have done better, it is still awesome work. Look at the progress you have made in a short time. Every project will be better then the last. Not sure if we ever find perfection. There is always something to improve. Just keep going and hope you have a happy new year!!
Wow!!! Absolutely amazing craftsmanship! It would be a huge challenge for me just to build a rough working model of 3-jaw chuck out of wood… to watch you completely create a finely machined 6-jaw steel chuck from scratch, with all the interworking components, smooth operation, precise pieces & accurate movement with less then 0.01 runout is an amazing accomplishment and true testament to your exceptional level of talent & skills!! Awesome work!!!
Awesome job, really something to be proud of. Thank you for the upload, always a pleasure to watch your videos. Wishing you and all your loved ones a very happy, prosperous and safe 2022. All the best.👍
Thanks for being honest about making mistakes. For most of us, they are the normal part of work rather than the exception. but being able to recover from them and save the part is what makes us better machinist. The work you do is beautiful and appreciated. Happy New Year.
When you think your disappointed with your result try to find a video of someone else making a better 6 jaw vice then you just made. There are no videos of anyone else doing that because it is a very impressive thing to do and you are one of those guys I wish I could have teach me more about machining.
This exactly. Good job, Calem! Nobody can perfectly execute every ambitious project on the first try. And the result is still very good-especially as the runout is consistently repeatable.
And with the tools he has that can be defined as basic for such a task and results! No CNC, DIY fixtures, gadgets, heat treatment. What an achievement.
Considering the scope of this project just a couple steps back was amazing, beautiful job and here is wishing you and your family a happy, prosperous and healthy 2022!! Thanks again!
That was mind blowing ! The amount of work you put into that was incredible and to end up with a chuck that looks good and has near zero runout amazes me ! 0.01 mm is close to 0.0004 in and that is total indicated run out so the workpiece is only 0.0002 off true and this would be mostly the clearances you need to ensure the chuck operates smoothly - I don’t know any machinist that wouldn’t be ecstatic with that ! Fantastic video !
Cà Lem, thank you so much for continuing to do these videos! Thank you! You are so amazing! 400 to 500 millionths runout is nothing to complain about. I think that is absolutely stunning! A lot of off the shelf 6 jaw chucks are not that good. I really admire what you do and you never fail to impress me (and many others). Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and your younger brother! :)
That turned out AMAZING!!! You, my friend, have a gift! The fact that you have both natural talent, plus the work ethic and determination to overcome problems and set backs makes you one in a billion!! Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your talents with the 🌎!
You are an amazing human being and absolutely brilliant machinist. Your videos have inspired me to not only be a better machinist but to also pay better attention to finish and accuracy. Best wishes to you in your life.
Парень у тебя золотые руки, я восхищаюсь твоей работой, это лучший канал на ютубе. Ничего подобного я не видел в домашней мастерской! Спасибо за видео!
You are amazing. The creativity, skills, adventurous spirit, and patience (all that grinding!) you possess are an inspiration. Plus your video quality is truly superb. Thank you!
Not happy with the result? PLEASEEE!!!! That's some of the best work I've seen on youtube and I doubt you could buy anything better for any price. GREAT JOB!
That is a work of art, I take my hat off for you. This video was soo fun to watch keep up the good work and hope to maybe one day we see a drill press build ;)
Pretty awesome to make a scrolling chuck with less than .0005" runout! I'm not sure there is much of a point in pursuing less, because we have non-scrolling chucks for that purpose ;-)
10 million views for what it was a waste of time and money he could have bought a new one quite cheap and use his time for other projects!!! Time is too precious to waste it like that:-((
@@johnhili8664 like you said, you wasted 30 minutes watching a video like this, why should you spend years going to school just to understand how machines and things work. This video is intended as a guide to see how to do it
@@johnhili8664 I and almost people on the world will never trying to buy time cause we know how to use it. We never regret after watching great videos and say good words to motivate someone. But you, you don't understand how to recognize talented and why people do. Spent 30mins then said wasted time 😂
Great video series. Machining and engineering are very entertaining. The math on this, especially with the different radii needed to mill, is just staggering. The tool maker's tool maker!
I can't even put into words how awesome this is. Such a beautiful job and the offset jaw tooth fixture was mind blowing. Your videos are easily some of my favorites on RUclips, very inspiring.
Never give up. As more hard to make , more we learn and stay more close to perfection. This is the Better part from the job. Wonderfull tool. Big Hug from Brasil !
The spiral scroll gear was amazing. I haven’t seen or heard of anyone making one from scratch. There are a few that made chuck but repurposed an old spiral scroll gear from a junk chuck. Thanks for sharing.
You are an exceptional tradesman and a pleasure to watch at work. What you do is outstanding and inspiring. Well done, keep growing and let us witness more great work. Thank you.
I'm just a guy from Canada. I am amazed at your persistence on doing the job correctly. Trying to set up my own shop but still have to work the regular job to get it. Thanks for the videos. Looking forward to your next ones!
This chuck has to be the best thing I've seen made on any machinist channel on RUclips. It looks magnificent and factory made. I don't want to even know how many hours you have invested in designing and building it. You set the standard for other machinist channels on RUclips. Well done isn't strong enough. Spectacular is much better!
That's seriously very very impressive. Most of the machinists in youtube show machining single parts, this is a fully functioning project with a few complex parts done with a very good precision. Great works and thanks for the video!
It's an alltime pleasure to look, what you're doing in your shop. I don't think, that's possible to make it much better. Keep cool. It's amazing and we love this stuff. 😉
This is just so beautiful and so educating. Your skills and knowledge are top level. Still, it's your patient striving for excellence that impresses me the most. Going through all those long hours of work to produce the best quality and precision possible is humbling to watch. Thank you for sharing this.
Your videos are inspiring. It's one reason I have taken so many classes in machining and why I help teach machining at my local non-profit. Thank you for following your passion.
I can't even count how many channels I'm currently subscribed to but you have one of the few channels where I actually watch all the videos. Fantastic content =) I work as a CNC-machinist myself making prototypes all day long ranging from small parts used in the medical field to big welded constructions that needs some finished machining in all sorts of different materials. Your attention to detail is superb. If you ever need anything made, hit me up and I'll see what I can do.
I see Ca Lem and I'm watching! Mistakes..... I'm getting senile. Although I'm andex toolmaker I mostly work in wood these days. Measure twice, cut once has degenerated into measure over and over while the sawdust builds up😬 Man you are hard on yourself. The pursuit of perfection is one thing, excellence another. Excellence is satisfying, perfection is deadly because it is unattainable. You do EXCELLENT work. I'd love for you to find satisfaction in that.
I am literally speechless at your skills and you've ended up with a more accurate chuck than 90% of respectable manufacturers. You're already at a Machining Genius status so only the Gods know what you'll be like when you're close to retiring age. Most Compliments don't even come close to sounding correct for you, but a simple well done will have to suffice. These two video's are the first I've seen and I'll no doubt love all the rest too.🙂
Absolutely exceptional. Your craftsmanship is on guru level, and all the more because you did this with old machines you have renovated yourself to the standard needed to achieve such excellence. The photography editing and direction also absolutely superb. It is always a joy to watch your work. Thankyou for sharing with us. And happy new year !
Some people complaint or get too exquisite by comparing tool brands, etc. The master makes his own tools and stop whining. You are not even satisfied and achieved a precision of 0.01mm!!! (or 0.39 thou for those in the world using that old unit of measure) I am very impressed with what you achieved man. Simply wow.
It is the failures and setbacks that teach the most. The man with the most experience has failed many times. Beautiful work Ca Lem. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy New Year.
Your last comment shows your attitude. A confidence that you are capable of higher precision and for some reason the first part actually messed up n a little more grinding after tempering while i believe just a 0.01mm of deviance in itself is an astounding level of precision. Awesome craftsmanship.
Buddy I'm speechless. I have been incurring you for a long time. Wow this is over the top. I'm so glad to see such fine work. You should see by now you can do everything you put your mind to. God bless my friend
This is one hell of a video series thank you for this I was afraid I was gonna have to design and attempt to make one and figure it out all on my own with a crap ton of waste your series has just gave me the confidence and the information to attempt it

This is completely ridiculous - Well done, thanks for sharing!
My favourite has to be the fixture for milling the teeth of the jaws.
There you go Stefan, next time you need a 6 jaw, just make it.
Ya at your shop rate what will it cost???
I learned a lot form both of you guys, nice to found you at here.
Praise from Stefan, indicates you have created something of significance. Congrats! Keep up the awesome work!
When I grow up, I want to be just like you.
Now do a 7-jaw chuck.
Oh, you're the cheeky one. Guys! I found the cheeky one!
**chuckles**
I'll collaborate with you, oh wait. Canada post will cos a fortune between Ontario and you (Alberta/Saskatchewan?). Maybe set it up with T.O.T.
I took up this fascinating career and started out, obviously, making a 1-jaw chuck. I could never quite get it to work, I guess I was missing something, never completed it and so had to go back to my old job as a political adviser.
12-jaw is a better (can hold square and round)
THIS is what being a machinist is all about: You needed something, so you made it. And though you hit a few snags, you used your skills to fix them and move on. Great work, Em. Always happy to see your quality builds.
I would consider this beyond machinist territory. This is high end toolmaker level in my eyes and I am one!
You like me have learned so much in our machine journey. But it’s the failures that teach the most and endure the longest. They are gold. You took on a real job and made a go of it. You lifted the standard of what’s possible in our own shops and I for one will pin the name plate of legend on you. Remember the tool room lathe, the precise milling machine, the super grinders, the planers all predate CNC. I program and run CNC machines but my shop is old school. I know what’s possible and it takes re-learning what our fathers and grandfathers knew. We fail along the way but we don’t quit. You never quit! At the end you stand behind a six jaw chuck and the world stands humbled in your presence. Keep it up pal!!!!
Here, here!
Well said.
I'd be honoured to work beside him.
A spectacular result! You are both talented and fearless in the projects that you do. Keep doing them and please keep making these videos for our collective education, inspiration and enjoyment. Best wishes for 2022.

Cheers fella..
I've been a tool & die maker for over 40 yrs, I am seriously impressed , fantastic job . Look forward to the set up video.

Totally agree! Don’t think anything else comes close that others have done RUclips
Check out Edge precision also on youtube .
Beautiful work. A great insight into what it takes to make a chuck, though I'd love to know more detail about some of the setups.
That should be in the next video 28:05

The kind of precision most chuck manufacturers can only dream of, well done young master.
Yep. Many known brands hope they achieve 0.02 to 0.03mm (1thou).But him.. 0.01!!!
Pretty awesome to make a scrolling chuck with less than .0005" runout! I'm not sure there is much of a point in pursuing less, because we have non-scrolling chucks for that purpose ;-)

10 million views for what it was a waste of time and money he could have bought a new one quite cheap and use his time for other projects!!! Time is too precious to waste it like that:-((
@@johnhili8664 you should spend your time to everything but never judge someone.
@@CachSoul Thanks for the council keep on dreaming my friend, you could buy a chuck but you can never buy time:-)
@@johnhili8664 like you said, you wasted 30 minutes watching a video like this, why should you spend years going to school just to understand how machines and things work. This video is intended as a guide to see how to do it
@@johnhili8664 I and almost people on the world will never trying to buy time cause we know how to use it. We never regret after watching great videos and say good words to motivate someone. But you, you don't understand how to recognize talented and why people do. Spent 30mins then said wasted time 😂
This is one of the most stunning DIY machining projects I have ever seen. Incredible job, thanks for sharing.
Очень крутой патрон вышел , красивый !!! С Новым годом !
Great video series. Machining and engineering are very entertaining. The math on this, especially with the different radii needed to mill, is just staggering. The tool maker's tool maker!
I can't even put into words how awesome this is. Such a beautiful job and the offset jaw tooth fixture was mind blowing. Your videos are easily some of my favorites on RUclips, very inspiring.
Beautiful! Really gives an appreciation of just how much work goes into something like a chuck. Thank you!
Never give up. As more hard to make , more we learn and stay more close to perfection. This is the Better part from the job. Wonderfull tool. Big Hug from Brasil !
The spiral scroll gear was amazing. I haven’t seen or heard of anyone making one from scratch. There are a few that made chuck but repurposed an old spiral scroll gear from a junk chuck. Thanks for sharing.
انت مثال في الإتقان والإبداع والصبر . لقد تابعت المقطع 28 دقيقة دون ملل . وأعدت مشاهدة بعض الجزئيات .
أهنئك وأحييك من سوريا الجريحة . 👍👍👍🌹
You are an exceptional tradesman and a pleasure to watch at work. What you do is outstanding and inspiring. Well done, keep growing and let us witness more great work. Thank you.
I'm just a guy from Canada. I am amazed at your persistence on doing the job correctly. Trying to set up my own shop but still have to work the regular job to get it. Thanks for the videos. Looking forward to your next ones!
An amazing work. I can't imagine how one approach such a project let alone finish it with such precision
Incredible and very difficult work done! My deepest respect to the great master!
Dude the sharpy on the rotary table to check the tool path. Simple but blew my mind. Top notch.
What a gorgeous work of precision machining and grinding.You are truly a master toolmaker. Thanks for sharing with your viewers.
Brilliant piece of mechanical engineering; fascinating machine shop work; ultra precise. Awesome project!
This chuck has to be the best thing I've seen made on any machinist channel on RUclips. It looks magnificent and factory made. I don't want to even know how many hours you have invested in designing and building it.
You set the standard for other machinist channels on RUclips.
Well done isn't strong enough. Spectacular is much better!
That's seriously very very impressive. Most of the machinists in youtube show machining single parts, this is a fully functioning project with a few complex parts done with a very good precision. Great works and thanks for the video!
It's an alltime pleasure to look, what you're doing in your shop. I don't think, that's possible to make it much better. Keep cool. It's amazing and we love this stuff. 😉
This is just so beautiful and so educating. Your skills and knowledge are top level. Still, it's your patient striving for excellence that impresses me the most. Going through all those long hours of work to produce the best quality and precision possible is humbling to watch. Thank you for sharing this.
the most amazing I have ever seen in this category of production !! you have my congratulations !! well done !!
Your videos are inspiring. It's one reason I have taken so many classes in machining and why I help teach machining at my local non-profit. Thank you for following your passion.
I can't even count how many channels I'm currently subscribed to but you have one of the few channels where I actually watch all the videos. Fantastic content =) I work as a CNC-machinist myself making prototypes all day long ranging from small parts used in the medical field to big welded constructions that needs some finished machining in all sorts of different materials.
Your attention to detail is superb. If you ever need anything made, hit me up and I'll see what I can do.
I see Ca Lem and I'm watching! Mistakes..... I'm getting senile. Although I'm andex toolmaker I mostly work in wood these days. Measure twice, cut once has degenerated into measure over and over while the sawdust builds up😬
Man you are hard on yourself. The pursuit of perfection is one thing, excellence another. Excellence is satisfying, perfection is deadly because it is unattainable. You do EXCELLENT work. I'd love for you to find satisfaction in that.
I am literally speechless at your skills and you've ended up with a more accurate chuck than 90% of respectable manufacturers. You're already at a Machining Genius status so only the Gods know what you'll be like when you're close to retiring age. Most Compliments don't even come close to sounding correct for you, but a simple well done will have to suffice.
These two video's are the first I've seen and I'll no doubt love all the rest too.🙂
To make chuck from scratch with that runout is quite an accomplishment! Well done!
It’s better than any of my chucks. What an incredible achievement. Really outstanding work. Congratulations on the results it is a beautiful thing.
Absolutely exceptional. Your craftsmanship is on guru level, and all the more because you did this with old machines you have renovated yourself to the standard needed to achieve such excellence. The photography editing and direction also absolutely superb. It is always a joy to watch your work. Thankyou for sharing with us. And happy new year !
Some people complaint or get too exquisite by comparing tool brands, etc. The master makes his own tools and stop whining. You are not even satisfied and achieved a precision of 0.01mm!!! (or 0.39 thou for those in the world using that old unit of measure) I am very impressed with what you achieved man. Simply wow.
Tolerance unbelievable 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍great machinist can do so with passion
I think its the best job I've ever seen on RUclips (and I saw a lot) considering your age and your machines.. Complimenti from Italy!
It is the failures and setbacks that teach the most. The man with the most experience has failed many times. Beautiful work Ca Lem. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy New Year.
Cà Lem, your work is just stunning. You're inspirational and I hope to continue to see your work and your many successes to come.
Really glad for the share Ca' Lem. It inspires me to turn my old chucks into Set-Tru. Fine job!!🔥🙏❤️
Cà Lem, absolutely a supreme job! A fine tool to pass on through the ages. As with everyone else thank you for sharing the journey.
Your last comment shows your attitude. A confidence that you are capable of higher precision and for some reason the first part actually messed up n a little more grinding after tempering while i believe just a 0.01mm of deviance in itself is an astounding level of precision.
Awesome craftsmanship.
That chuck is a work of art, you should be very proud of your achievements.
Buddy I'm speechless. I have been incurring you for a long time. Wow this is over the top. I'm so glad to see such fine work. You should see by now you can do everything you put your mind to. God bless my friend
Beautiful work. I am continually amazed by what you have accomplished. Thanks for sharing.
This is one hell of a video series thank you for this I was afraid I was gonna have to design and attempt to make one and figure it out all on my own with a crap ton of waste your series has just gave me the confidence and the information to attempt it
