DIY Coaxial/Coax? Indicator - It works! -
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- My final submission to the 2020 Tool makers competition. Making a shop built coaxial or coax indicator designed by William Todd (link to plans below). Being an amateur hobby machinist, this is by far the most precision and complex build I have ever attempted. I hope you enjoy and be sure to check out

That spring only needs to be strong enough to center the device when horizontal
That is what I found as well. The piece I used works, but is too strong. I would like to find something that would provide equal pressure around the diameter, which would require a much thinner spring for the space. The piece I used actually did push the bearing off it interference fit after a bit of run time.
Great video and amazing project. Fantastic build!
Thanks! One of the best thing about these competitions is finding new creators. I look forward to going through videos.
All the best!
Eddie
That was awesome! The intro was hilarious and so well done! Thanks so much! Looking forward to your next project.
Regards
Thanks so much!
Wow! That's awesome 😀. Loved the video and the build. Great job 👍😁👍
Thanks man, much appreciated.
Nicely done, thanks for joining in to TMC2020
Thanks! I have been slowly watching your older stuff on your channel
Looks good! Going to go back and watch your TMC2020 series. Good luck!
Thanks and thanks for watching. Been going through some of your videos as well, enjoying watching yours as well, you have some nice facilities.
the_eddies Thanks for watching & the compliment! It’s the personnel that I get to shoot in the video that makes the difference for us.
What an awesome device. Great work
Yes, I am very happy with it. Thanks!
Ambitious project, good outcome.
By far the most ambitious machining I have ever done. Thanks and thanks for watching!
Awesome ..This could be just what I need .. I only have a small machine and a regular Co ax is just too big.. thanks for the video and thanks to the designer!
Thanks for watching!
G’day Eddies well done, you have my vote in the competition, oh wait! there is no voting.
Indicator came out very nice.
Cheers
Peter
Hello Peter, Thanks for the phantom vote :-) And thanks as always for taking a look.
All the best!
Eddie
Excellent job. You should be extremely proud of that.
Thanks Joe! That really means a lot. I have learned a ton from your videos.
The intro is epic..
Epic cheese. Thanks!
Gday, you have done a great job on this build, I think I’ll be having a go at this one day, Cheers
Hello Matty, It is a great device. I would be curious to see an actual machinist try out this build and get it under 2 thou runout. The plans are excellent and there is a link in the description in case you missed it.
All the best!
Eddie
@@theeddies Gday Eddie, it would be great to see a machinists try this project but I’m only self taught and certainly not a machinist, I’m keen to have a go it and I’ve down loaded the plans, very handy tool for sure, Cheers
@@MattysWorkshop Same here. I have seen your work though, its good stuff. Even better being self taught. I like to say I am self taught but had pretty decent shop teachers - Mr. Pete, Tom Lipton, Abom, Stephen, etc.
Best!
I have a chinese one and it flutters as well. It's pretty hard to eliminate the flutter and it doesn't really effect the accuracy. I tried rebuilding the axle but it didn't help much. You can buy spring steel on Ebay and make your own spring. Good video!
Thanks John. I have seen some video of some flutter and others that are still. Great idea on the spring.
well i enjoyed that.
Thanks Emma!
Tommyraygun likes your tool 😁
Also that intro voiceover was awesome ha ha
Thanks man! If you ever do a collaboration with Ray's Garage do not miss that opportunity, lol.
This was interesting to watch. The one thing that may be limiting your success is the “wobble” in the main body and indicator assembly. This could be a result of the internal spindle taper having some run out, or the various diameters on the main shaft not sharing a common axis. Music wire can be purchased in coils, and wound to suit your needs. Mc Master-Carr is a great source for many goodies.
It is likely a combination of factors. In the videos of the build I actually improved it from what it was which I think was 10 or 15 thou. I do plan to revisit this to see if I can get it better but honestly with the machine I am pretty happy with 2 thou runout. Especially considering it seems many commercial offshore versions share the same tolerances. But I still think I can make it better. Check out the actual build videos, it was a learning experience for me. ruclips.net/p/PLAHFt4_nmEpojhlMK2r_MrR4_lYOpYFGz
All the best!
Eddie
You could get or make a bellville washer that will make the pressure more even all around and help with the flutter.
That is an interesting idea. Thanks!
@@theeddies Yeah and they are easy to make and you can stack them face to face for more travel or on top of each other for more force.
nice job, but plan haven't important size "roket" exactly radius arm (lever) wich have contact with body.
Thanks! If I understand you correctly, the arm can be any length or shape needed for the job.
@@theeddies no, it's not about probe. "roket" simular to cam-shaft & have circle line in part wich touch "body". It's clearly on plan, but haven't size.
@@no1se706 Oh I understand. The designer, Bill, did not define that measurement in the plan. As long as it is a slight curve, the size is not important to the function. The curve only needs to provide adequate clearance for the the rocker to move smoothly on the body. In part 1 of the video series you can see that I basically made the curve by eye. The dial is not making absolute measurements. It is only a reference measurement so the curve on the rocker is not critical.
Lol at the intro 8-)
Just a bit of fun. Glad you laughed.
good
Thanks!
Get some piano wire and make a spring
That is a good idea, thanks!
When it comes to light that you were "doping" with performance enhancing steroids during the competition a scandal is sure to ensure. Until then, great job.
ROFL, perfect, now I am getting a blood test. Nice comment though, you had some of that powder I sent you to write that.
@@theeddies Did $412.00 day one of the sale. I can't believe some of the things people didn't buy, and I'm surprised by some of the things they did. Was weird.
@@johnstrange6799 Wow, that is excellent. Was all of it basically free to you?
@@theeddies Thanks. Yeah, I'd say like 98% of it was all finds. The rest was insignificant BS knick knack and housewares items, so a total wash there. it's good for a Friday. Gonna do a shorter day tomorrow with a final hour of Tubs (totes, bins whatever) of random leftovers for $2 each, then a $1, then free, then back to trash as we close down and clean up. - Your video was excellent btw. The project itself is sweet, and awareness of the plans generously provided is also a win, but when it comes right down to it... I think the gold is how you rose to the occasion of providing video entertainment. You brought an enhanced element of production, breathed in a welcome dimension of humor, and successfully stepped out of your comfort zone to conquer a scripted component, none of which are easy, but all of which you put over the top, and did so with a (perhaps still developing yet) potent drop of your own original identity. It's a benchmark demonstration of the video product you are capable of delivering.
@@johnstrange6799 Well that was quite a compliment, thanks man. I went out on a limb and spent quite a bit of time. It is not something that I plan to do all the time but it might be fun once in awhile. The green screen of the indicator was especially challenging. The green has to be as consistently lit as possible, minimal shadows. But the worst is that the part is slightly reflective so it was picking up the background color. There are millions of gamers that use it all the time, but in a tight shop getting rid of shadows is tough. I had about 4 lights all around it, plus all the shop lights, and was holding a flashlight to catch any stray shadows as it turned.
Do you expect tomorrow to be be better or did you sell all the high dollar stuff already?
I am subscribed to your channel for some time manly for the motorcycle and engineering vids and enjoy them. After just 1 minute this video was ruined for me when saying the "Chinese still rip off" insult. Hasn't just about every nation ripped off another.
The US, UK, Japan along with many other countries all produce the automobile and the internal combustion engine, did any of them design or invent them?
Intellectual-property theft is carried out by the US, UK, Russia, China and most nations and has been done for millennia and only ever cried about when there own is stollen especially when improved upon.
Your Channel is an informative and enjoyable channel, I know it's your channel to say what you want but do you really want to turn it political?
Rant over.
I don't do political on this channel. There is enough of that out there right now. The entire intro was just a joke or parody. I often throw out stupid sometimes slightly inappropriate jokes, but they are meant in fun not politically. It is the type of humor (or lack of) you would have if you brought a few people over to hang out in the shop. I appreciate the thoughts and that you felt strongly enough to comment. If you watched enough of my stuff you know I stretched a little here and it won't appeal to everyone. I hope you stick around for another beer.
All the best!
Eddie
@@theeddies I have watched much of your channel and haven't heard a comment like that before, therefore was surprised, yes there is much of it available and I take great interest in it hence my comment.
Not to worry I will be sticking around keep up the vids. Thanks.
Incidentally I'm not Chinese or American for that matter but Scots-Irish and live in Northern Ireland.
@@theeddies oh and beer yes!
@@nightster6378 What part of N. Ireland?
@@theeddies I live in Islandmagee about 20 miles north of Belfast. My background is engineering and interest is 30's to 70's vintage and classic bikes and anything else old that needs fixed.
