Being a machinist back in the 70s 80s mainly tool & die until I joined the Air Force and was a machinist for them too. Makes me really enjoy your channel. I have never used CNC . ALWAYS old school. I enjoyed the work. I am a paralyzed veteran who really missing making and building things.
Just signed up for your channel after recommended by Trenton/Heath and find it to be a good match. All my life I've enjoyed hanging around machine shops, gunsmiths, carpenters, etc. I've worked all my life with my hands and now arthritis is taking it's toll. Really enjoyed this upload. Tom P.S. Lot of respect for a nice, clean, organized bench.
Thanks for sharing! As for the drill sharpening tips keep them coming. I was in a remote location and with a broken part and was sent a replacement part. The new part was slightly different the the first and needed anew bracket made. The place had a shop but no mechanist. The guys said you can drill a hole that big with that drill press so I stepped the drill sizes like you show in your videos but first I had to sharpen them all. By the time I was up to 1 1/2 inch I had an audience cheering me on the last bit in an the belt in the slowest configuration and pouring the cutting fluid to cool the bit I grabbed the chip brush and reused the oil. I got it done. One of the guys asked me to drill a hole for him in a thicker bar stock. It wasn’t as big but to much in one go for the drill press. Being able to put a new edge on a drill bit so the drill didn’t have to work harder than it needs to was great. Thanks for sharing
I'm simply amazed that not only do you still HAVE your granddad's tools, but you USE them. First of all that they are still in that kind of serviceable condition. But also that you don't keep them stowed away collecting dust. History is best remembered when it's being lived in, not in a museum.
Stay save. So I'm not a machinist myself(Programmer for more then 20 years now) but found you ages ago and Love watching the vids. I have learned so much about metal work in general and metals from your shows and I really love the sound of machining in the back ground when coding. The amount of tips you and Guys like the two Keiths and Tom has given me has improved my general metal skills in the garage. Simple stuff like using proper lubes when drilling made my life so much easier. Keep up the good work and thank you for the high quality videos and thanks for being you on the camera.
I always grind my drills by hand ( on a bench grinder of course) and cut the relief last to get those rabbit ears coming equally out behind the drill. A machinist taught me how when I was 19. Practiced on 3/8 drill first for easy viewing. Then he gave me a coffee can full of bits to sharpen, good practice. Still sharpen that way today at 59.Works every time.
So do a video as to just how you do it. I happen to be really good at making a mess of my own sharpenings. I am sure Adam wouldn't mind sharing. That Lisle is just something most of us will never need to own,but lust after. There was this very difficult guy I used to work with. The owner kept him around as he was school trained on hand sharpening drill bits. A most unpleasant guy,with this one real talent. Never did get that last backhand step myself,but he had it. The sort you wanted to boot in the ass especially on a late Friday afternoon.

Saw this post on Facebook from Adam..... We have been tracking Hurricane Sally since yesterday. I woke up early this morning to catch up on the latest and even though I did not have good cell service I was able to text my family to hear the latest con the conditions. This is a snap shot of the hurricane track and you can see just how on top of Pensacola it was. The entire area including Baldwin County Alabama and Escambia County Florida has been devastated by the storm. My brother Kevin went by this morning to check on the house and shop and I’m fortunate to say I have no damage other then the privacy fence. Both the shop and house are ok. Others have not come out so lucky and I feel bad for my home of Pensacola. I went through this 16 years to the day with Hurricane Ivan and know exactly what has happened. To everyone who has sent me messages and emails sharing your concerns, thank you! Abby and I are both fine and I’m very lucky to say our home and shop are ok too. I know it’s going to take some time for a home town to get cleaned up and back to normal after this tragedy
In collision repair books, there are the dimensions of where the ball joint bodies should be. They illustrate where the datum points are and what measurement is within tolerance. Also for new and used ball joints there is a allowable projection dimension referenced off of the grease fitting. You can apply that data to this modification, unless the body of the ball joint varies the pivot center. Regardless, ream the "knuckles" equally and notate the distance from the counter bore to the ball joint cap. That way, in the future, the mechanics can identify if there is wear.
I'm a retired carpenter. Being a mechanical person I really enjoy watching the variety of machining that is so well presented by Adam. Keep up the good programing and send some of your warm weather up here to Wisconsin this winter.
Thanks for clarifying about the clearance angle. It's something I've I had to think through and its good to have a proper machinist back up my reasoning. Ta.Abom
At 13:20 in. What you said about making your parts nice and finished(looking good). That's what ya call taking pride in what you're doing. Something I've seen too many (mostly younger) people not do.
I love the display, at 16:28, of the accumulated knowledge from 250 years of this sort of metal cutting lathe. The angle of the drill cutting edge relief is critical. My first thought "not enough angle, too small a clearance," was wrong. The drill broke because there was not enough bulk behind the edge. The angle was too much.
It only took me 10 videos to figure out how you were making the head to move and the tool stay in one place. I think I've got what it takes to be a machinist :) :) :) :)
Thanks for pointing that out, I was also wondering what that pop was at the start of the job. Looks like your training is working on us even just watching you work, which is always a pleasure. Thanks for all you do for us Adam!
Adam, can we get a whole video on tool grinding? It too much for one video. Drill grinding is one that most would benefit from. We all have drill bits that are trashed, but still keep them and use them til they make sparks.
Personally I quite enjoyed drill grinding by This Old Tony. Certainly would love a more serious counterpart from Abom though! Only drill I've ever had to try that on was a 3mm that I broke in a way that left a decent usable length, and it seemed to do quite well afterwards.
I heard the pop and saw the curls were different then got a headache trying to imagine the geometry of the grind and what happened...then I got educated very well and a smile came to my face... I wasn't wrong in my thoughts that something was wrong just didn't remember back 50 years ago when I was "probably" taught about the following angles from the cutting edge. It's hard getting old. LOL Thanks TEACH!
Mondays. Arrrgggghhh. Lol. Thanks for the drill sharpening lesson. You mentioned an old surplus drill bit you had used "thousands " of times. I,ve been in trades 45 years and most people I,ve worked with if they can you a drill bit more than three times it,s a miracle.
Wow I’ve never seen that happen to a drill bit before! I’m glad you explained that tho so I can be more aware when I’m grinding my own drill bits as I start doing it more & more often. I was also just really curious what that pop was I thought it sounded like something snapping, like it sounded very similar to an end mill breaking.
he correctly identified the relief was wrong but it would it have happened to both sides if they were ground the same? his rush to get things done again strikes back or is it over confidence or a mix of the two... either way he got that part of the job done..
Monday is Murphy getting back at you for having a nice weekend, forgetting about work & relaxing. Tuesday can sometimes be Mondays on steroids but after that, it's WTF!
Am I the only person that had to look twice when you cut the stainless bar, with that wrapping on it I thought you had a piece of wood in your saw lol.
Monday, Monday. Can’t trust that day. Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way. Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be. Mine sucked, too. I can’t get seem to get three phase power working for my new to me Covel grinder. Time to ask for help. 😏 Great video, Adam. Thanks, John
22:02 "Oil Absorbing Clay".. You mean cat litter lol By the way, when are you going to take apart the other lathe to fix the head bearings so you'll finally be able to part-off on that machine? Sounds like an incredibly interesting video and I can't wait to see you tear into that one as well :D
Your absolutely right too much clearance can be just as bad as not enough. In your case it weakens the cutting edge. It can also cause chatter and keep heat from being dispersed away from the cutting edge causing the edge to burn away. Tool grinders sometimes put too much clearance on the corner of reamers so they don't have to put on a secondary to knock down the heel to keep from dragging. This can cause in a reamed hole .
My only coment is: You have to have the tools!! There are jobs that I would love to tackle but I do not have the tools. Sometimes you have to leave it to an "Expert". Good Job!!
off the wall stuff is what I like most that you do... kinda same things I get into every so often.. I will be in Niceville monday for almost two weeks...
for oil messes have you also tried , I think its called "oil Gater" it could be a brand name.. but it's a Bi-product of the cotton seed oil manufacturing process.. this stuff just eats all the oil even what soaks into the concrete. just put it on the spill and in 24 hrs just sweep it up and it is all gone and put it the trash. i looks like oatmeal. im told it is cheep too. i was impressed when i saw how it worked on a 15 gal. spill, we put one bag of it on it walked on it and the next day all the mess was gone like it never happened. hope this helps..
Piece of broken down from drill Have had that at endmill too on stainless steel hard. Have it cooled with drill cut oil WD40. But yeah I was also thinking of maybe I went a little too fast or maby it was too much in 1 time that it comes too fast suddenly on heat and then there are bits or points breaking off or quickly bone bone Stainless steel can be very tough due to % crhome nickel and some other raw materials But its a nice steel 🔩⚙️🔪🔧🙂 And somehow the processed matriaal 1mm 2mm 3mm pieces of nasty steel splinters 🤔 Annoying but yes stainless steel continues to look beautiful and as a end result you still have something beautiful. Tye of Abom Is much to learn from you informative videos 👍🏻
When the "ribbons" coming off the drill bit are even (comparable size, shape etc) the cutting edges are "balanced". if they are not even and therefor unbalanced uneven load causes problems
HAHA 12:00 I though maybe this video was put out near April Fools Day that bar with the cloth cover looked like Firewood !!! You got me, and you weren't even trying
Pretty weird-ass chips coming from the stainless, and also resonant frequencies not heard as much in milder stuff. I find those aspects in the material properties to be absolutely fascinating!
Another way to strengthen a drill for tough materials is to grind small lands inside of the flutes which will reduce the high rake caused by the helix angle of the spiral and make for less acute stronger cutting edges.
Got a question. Have you ever found an imperfection or void in solid stock before? I often wonder if it's possible that you could cut into a fresh round on the lathe, and there would be a bubble somewhere in it. I can imagine that that could ruin your day!
Had a piece of tool steel break apart on a lathe while making a cut. Apparently the tool steel material was welded together. Customer supplied the material. 🙄
Wish you could spend more time on the grinding the tooling. Was going to take a class at the college just to learn how to do that. There time spent on shaping tools was one 3 hour class, not worth a semester cost for 3 hours.
It depends on the ball joint manufacturer. Some have castle nuts, some have lock nuts. The ones with lock nuts usually have a hex on the end of the stud so you can hold that to keep the stud from turning while you're tightening the lock nut.
I’m slightly disappointed that the stainless spacers weren’t reamed on the same taper as the knuckle. That would have been one trick part! Of course they’ll work either way.
@@inspector8572 Me too but not because of wear. If the joint is drawn up tight there shouldn't be any wear. I was looking at there being more contact surface with the flange of the nut. The way the spacers are made it looks like all the torque from the nut will be just the narrow ring of the spacer ... not the full flange contact that would be made in a stock set up. It could "bow" the nut.
tsmartin I agree, but there would have to be a certain amount of slop otherwise false-torque on the upper tapered portion of the knuckle may be occur ...that said it would still be a better spacer to be a tapered fit to avoid the distortion that you indicate concern for.
I know it would have been a little bit more work but would Tapered spacers had been better than cylindrical ones? My thoughts are that anything you can do to keep the components aligned and more as one, would likely lend to more strength and rigidity.

much clearance can be just as bad as not enough. In your case it weakens the cutting edge. It can also cause chatter and keep heat from being dispersed away from the cutting edge causing the edge to
burn away. Tool grinders sometimes put too much clearance on the corner of reamers so they don't have to put on a secondary to knock down the heel to keep from dragging. This can cause in a reamed hole .

Have had that at endmill too on stainless steel hard. Have it cooled with drill cut oil WD40.
But yeah I was also thinking of maybe I went a little too fast or maby it was too much in 1 time that it comes too fast suddenly on heat and then there are bits or points breaking off or quickly bone bone
Stainless steel can be very tough due to % crhome nickel and some other raw materials
But its a nice steel 🔩⚙️🔪🔧🙂 And somehow the processed matriaal 1mm 2mm 3mm pieces of nasty steel splinters 🤔

When the "ribbons" coming off the drill bit are even (comparable size, shape etc) the cutting edges are "balanced". if they are not even and therefor unbalanced uneven load causes problems

Same...
Looks like Sally is really throwing her weight around , be safe Adam
Your supposed to use a bunch of washers!!!
Another way to strengthen a drill for tough materials is to grind small lands inside of the flutes which will reduce the high rake caused by the helix angle of the spiral and make for less acute stronger cutting edges.

A storm in Colorado?
Hope your ok Adam
@@tom7601 ...We have plenty of storms, but you're right, it has been a long time since we had a hurricane!
Reaming the iron looked a lot easier than reaming the aluminum. I'd have guessed the opposite.
A lesson in the difference between material toughness and material strength.
I'm wondering if that's due to the spiral cut reamer vs. the straight cut one.

Wish you could spend more time on the grinding the tooling. Was going to take a class at the college just to learn how to do that. There time spent on shaping tools was one 3 hour class, not worth a semester cost for 3 hours.
Nylocks? Not castle nuts and cotter pins?
Should be a castle and a key
I didn't see a hole drilled tnru the rod end by the manufacturer for a cotter key.
It depends on the ball joint manufacturer. Some have castle nuts, some have lock nuts. The ones with lock nuts usually have a hex on the end of the stud so you can hold that to keep the stud from turning while you're tightening the lock nut.
yeah, newer cars use nylocks, now, instead of castellated nuts & cotter pins.
Great video, thanks!
Can you tell me if the HSS chamfer bit is on center or do you set up higher?
man i need that drill sharpener setup
24:26 Chip of the month, haha
Will these foul the wheel rims now the joint threads protrude that far?
Be safe ,stay well,
Great job. Thanks
I’m slightly disappointed that the stainless spacers weren’t reamed on the same taper as the knuckle. That would have been one trick part! Of course they’ll work either way.
Didn’t ream them because they don’t need to interfere with taper of the ball joint and the knuckle.
Matt Fields I was thinking that too but they’d have to be over reamed to allow for wear so there would still be sloppiness in the fit.
@@inspector8572 Me too but not because of wear. If the joint is drawn up tight there shouldn't be any wear. I was looking at there being more contact surface with the flange of the nut. The way the spacers are made it looks like all the torque from the nut will be just the narrow ring of the spacer ... not the full flange contact that would be made in a stock set up. It could "bow" the nut.

I agree, but there would have to be a certain amount of slop otherwise false-torque on the upper tapered portion of the knuckle may be occur ...that said it would still be a better spacer to be a tapered fit to avoid the distortion that you indicate concern for.
Be careful down there homeboy, i see the hurricane ready to hit near you.
Prayers and best wishes before Sally! I bet You've just spent all Your last WD40 and 5-56 by now.
I know it would have been a little bit more work but would Tapered spacers had been better than cylindrical ones?
My thoughts are that anything you can do to keep the components aligned and more as one, would likely lend to more strength and rigidity.
