    Verifying oil grooves. In my past dealing with high rpm gearbox shafts using 3 part tilt pad bearings required 15 degree chanfer that allowed lubrication oil to enter the leading edge of bearing shoe contact areas. Shaft speeds were beyond the capability of ball bearings.

  • @outputcoupler7819
    @outputcoupler7819 5 лет назад +5

    For those curious, the potential error when measuring a tapered surface with calipers like that is proportional to the tangent and/or cosine of the taper angle, depending on what sort of errors you make.
    If you accidentally hold the calipers flush against the tapered surface instead of the flat surface, your calipers will read high by (1/cos(angle) - 1)%. If you hold your calipers correctly but do not place them in the correct location as Stefan showed, then your measurement will differ by the tangent of the angle multiplied by the distance shifted.
    If you have a 5 degree taper and the true measurement is 5 millimeters, then holding the calipers wrong will result in a 5.019 mm reading. Shifting the calipers 1 mm to the high side will give you 5.087 mm. Doing both will produce a reading of 5.10 mm.
    Assuming I didn't flub the math, of course.

    Back in the day (lord I sound OLD) we had a set of master tapers we would use to make Tapered Gibs. These were in a variety of tapers. .250 per foot etc. To rough machine the gib we would do the work on the shaper. Finish work was usually surface ground and then scraped. The only problem with scraping ground surfaces is unless you have a very sharp scraper it is hard to get the initial scraping passes to grab the surface. The scraper wants to just skip over the surface. The worst part was when we had to make gibs out of Ampco (Aluminum Bronze). If you weren't careful about heating the work everything would be find and then suddenly, BOING!, you'd have a bend.

    a couple ideas for measuring that taper. 1: use an indicator to measure the rise over run of the part. I've had good experiences with this method. 2: use a ball between your anvil on the micrometer and the part. This has also served me well in the past.

    Another way of holding tapered parts is to make one extra sacrificial tapered part and super glue it in the opposite direction to the one you want to machine. That way the combined pieces can fit in the parallel jaws of a normal vise.

    I find that quite a good way to hold rough sawn stock in a machine vice is with thin lead sheets between the jaws and the cut faces. For rougher workpieces the lead can be folded (by hand) in places where it needs to be thicker. If a thicker rectangular block is needed it's a simple matter of creating a 'Swiss Roll" and then squashing it flat.

  • @EdgePrecision
    @EdgePrecision 5 лет назад +34

    Great video Stefan! Your cutting tool can also add or put stress back into a perfectly stress free material. In fact probably most of the stress you encounter in machining is probably caused by what you do. Not actually in the material in the first place. I have seen this quite often when facing thin-ish material with inserted face mills. The part will bow up into the tool. The inserts are expanding the face of the material. It is actually better to face such parts with a smaller diameter and freer cutting tool/endmill with more passes. It will tend to put less stress into the part.

    • @StefanGotteswinter
      @StefanGotteswinter  5 лет назад +8

      Fully agree!
      We rarely use inserted tooling in our VMC when machining parts for tool/die and moldwork. Facing is usualy done with a good 16 or 20mm finishing endmill.
      Grinding can also put quite a bit of stress back in material, especially when the wheel is not cutting free.

    • @EdgePrecision
      @EdgePrecision 5 лет назад +6

      @@chris0tube There is indeed stress in materials depending on the way they were manufactured. This will be released when material is removed. What I am talking about is. Every cutting tool induces stress back into the material. Depending on the tool some more than others. Although coolant and the bluntness of the cutting edge do play some part. This isn't the whole story. Every tool pushes some metal back into the cut thus creating a compression in the surface of the cut. As Stefan indicates even a dull grinding wheel will do this. Here is where coolant or the lack of it will even exaggerate this because heat also expands the same surface being cut. You can see a similar effect in a sand blaster. take a piece of sheet metal and blast one side. It will bow the sheet toward the side that's blasted. Or I have seen shafts straightened by peeing with a hammer on the surface. This is the same effect that the cutting tool has when it cuts. The more negative rake or lack of a keen edge the tool has the more it will push metal into the surface its cutting. This is also why ever tool leaves a burr on the edges of its cut.

    • @1ginner1
      @1ginner1 5 лет назад +1

      In my youth, I watched a film about "weathering" of castings, I think it was by the Colchester lathe company, and the point is, that they left their lathe bed castings out in the open, in wind, rain, frost and snow for a couple of years to let them find their optimum stress relieved position. They then rough machined the casting and left it AGAIN, before finish machining. That is probably why a lot of their machine tools are still in use today, and are still as accurate as they were when new. As has been stated any machining will impart stress , but with careful tool selection the stresses imparted can be minimised and a fine machine tool, well maintained, can last a very long time.

    To be pedantic: it's trivially possible to remove all stress from a material: just make sure it's not a solid. Liquids, gases, and plasmas inherently have no stress. Not sure about more exotic forms of matter, but if you turn it into degenerate matter to find out you'll win at least a Nobel prize!

  • @bobuk5722

    Hi folks. I worked out the approximate error in misplacing the micrometers on the taper. It's about 30 microns at each end with anvil centred over tick marks. Might cancel out, might add together depending on placement. So, in Stefan's world, it's significant. This guy works to 10 microns on a milling machine! (Assumes 5 mm wide mic anvil - use half that in calculation - and 2 mm in 170 mm taper - think I got it right!) BobUK.

  • @matthewhelton1725

    I would have done the bevels before the taper; Keith Rucker did bevels before tapers (and also used a compound magnetic vice). There are problems with doing the bevels before the taper and vice versa, so it's probably just a question of order of operations and how you choose to hold the gib during machining/ grinding.

    Haven't yet watched through the video (but as usual I figure it will be high quality video), I hit stop on the dust extraction issue because I had a question.
    I wonder if it's more effective with a shop vac setup like Stefan has, or a would woodshop dust collector work better? When working with wood and dealing with the fine dust generated a dust collector is preferred because while it has less suction it moves a much, much bigger volume of air and creates a "negative volume" of air around the machine that makes all air borne particles move towards it and prevents them migrating around the shop and giving everything a fine layer of dust. And never mind your lungs.
    I am not sure the same applies to cast iron particles, if they are bigger and heavier and will fall down, then more suction is better. Anyone know the nature of the dust, are they fine enough to be suspended in air or are we talking bigger bits?

    Wouldn't you ideally want to cut the oil grooves after the gib was fitted to the mating surfaces by scraping? Both to ensure correct positioning of the grooves, and to have less edges to worry about when scraping. Or would the risk of it warping during cutting the grooves outweigh this?
    I'm assuming the machine is quite worn since it needed new gibs, and that the original positioning of the hole and grooves could be significantly off.

    Stefan could you hold the gibs using a regular setup in the vice and simply rotate one gib in the opposite directions so that the 2 gibs combined cancel the taper out and then just set the vice to the desired offset? Great video as always!
