This should be mandatory to lathes and all rotating devices. The amount of chuckkeys I've seen flying and causing damage is incredible. They only don't need to be of this well-made quality. Great job.
This reminds me of being an apprentice for British Rail in the 1970s. The course started with 15 weeks of bench fitting (filling bits of mild steel). Oh, how I hated it.🙂 However, the video was interesting and well-made, the idea for the chuck key holder was cool too.
Im only 2 minutes in and i really like your idea! I hate the springs that come on the chuck key, since they make it difficult to do multiple turns one handed, and i think yours is a much more elegant solution! Im pretty disciplined about my chuck key, but I still have to build myself one! *Edit for very unfortunate misspelling lol 😅
Cool, thanks. Yeah I tried so hard to like the sprung key but gave up and cut the collar off. For me at least this solution is much more user friendly and will offer foolproof (Attilaproof) convenience.
Pretty cool solution. It would be easy enough to make a key holder that fits over a remote (magnetic) pushbutton switch, which in many areas would pass muster about messing with electrical stuff.
Hey, that happened to me as well, shattered the cast fence and had to get a new one online. Did something to my hand but I can't remember, except that I was very lucky.
Great build, and I immediately subbed to this new channel. My only concern (other than that sketchy table saw cut you made) is the spring - did you secure the ends so it doesn't pop loose, or is it otherwise engineered to be captured once assembled? Also - how fast do you go through blades and bits with the aluminum work?
Thanks. The spring can't go anywhere, it's captured at the arm by the circular relief and is locked in at the body (top) there isn't enough space for the spring to get unsprung lol. The table saw cut was perfectly safe, aluminium is much more predictable than wood. The carbide tipped router bits don't seem to show any more wear when cutting aluminium and the saw blades are designed specifically to cut aluminium. Thanks for the sub:)
Would you (someone) please tell me the make and model of jigsaw you have. I googled but I can't find anything like it. Searching for the "909" on the body only finds a WEN "All Saw" which is definitely not what you have. Thanks.
That saw is by 909 which is the home brand of the now defunct (since 2016) hardware store chain, 'Masters" here in Australia. I'm guessing I bought it around 2012/13 so it's about 10 years old and has seen a lot of use.

Thank you:)
I have always enjoyed your videos, and I’m looking forward to this new channel
Thanks and welcome:)

Thanks, I don't mind filing. Glad you like the video.
That was pure genius! I guess he showed the guy who made the comment.
Thanks.
Nicely over designed. Perfect!
Haha, thanks:)
That should be a safety feature already designed into the machine
That is a great project
Thank you.

This should be standard on all lathes an d drill presses, well done
Thank you:)
Very cool (as always!). You should patent that design.
Thanks:)

Thanks.
Some lathe chuck keys have a pogo spring action requiring constant force during engagement or it will pop itself out of the chuck.
Yes, as did mine but it was a pain to use.
What a great idea
Yeah, I think so lol. Thanks Mitch:)
After having a large block of 3060 extrusion bind up and basically explode my miter saw, that scene gave me such panic.

Hola el otro canal lo vas a cerrar...? o seguís publicando en los dos canales.?
Ambos canales. Uno para taller, otro para arte.
