- A local marine construction company has been modifying and old winch and needed some set screw holes drilled and tapped in the drum hub. I had to machine a tap extension for this job and I'll share the setup and work involved to make these modifications. #manualmachining #machineshop

videos like this are the reason why i support local small businesses.
None of the job shops in my town want to mess with small jobs. I can work every day on simple machine and weld repairs and folks are grateful that someone like you will take on broken bolts, chipped cast iron and family heirloom repairs.
Shops don’t want to mess with walk in jobs because the general public wants everything done for $5
@@rexmundi8154You speak as if industrial customers dont act the exact same way, while they also expect net 90 payment even as a new customer.
I see same here were i am I do work for local folks
And they don't want to do the small jobs as they take a long time to set up and do properly. And the average joe doesn't understand that the hourly rate is likely $100 minimum just for the person doing the job, and if it's a well run shop, you've got to pay for the machine being used as well.
My rate is likely in the $200 range, before I start a machine.
@ I cave every now and then and do a pity job for someone and the number of times they have bitched about how much I charged just to cover the cost of material or consumables is amazing .
That is what adds value to a community and gets your name out there. Beautiful job.
I will always love Job Shop work. It's some of the best RUclips content, and some of the best real-world machining. Challenging, and out in the world, it keeps other people working. Great stuff!
Just the kind of small projects many of us carry around to find a shop that won't say No. Their lucky day "Can Do" Abom was in the neighborhood.
Always a smile seeing 3 generations of craftsmen at closing.
In my opinion, 'job-shop' work is way better than a production run where it's just
1. insert blank 2. push button 3. remove product
I love seeing the creativity needed to accommodate a random item for a random task, and seeing which one of the 9001 methods is selected by a 3rd generation machinist.
I love shops that aren’t afraid to tackle challenging projects. Improvise adapt and overcome is a philosophy every job shop should have.
I agree.
My son makes a good living doing rust repairs on truck frames. No other shops want the work, so his customers have the choice of paying him whatever he charges or junking their trucks. He has plenty of work here in the salt belt.
@ One of my first jobs was in a crap hole radiator shop. I got really good at replacing heater cores because other shops weren’t up to the task and would send us the work. We eventually became one of the largest auto repair shops in the area because we never turned a job away.
Job shop machinist here. Quality job as always buddy. I've seen my fair share of emergency repair work. Any machinist that hasn't handled a 3 foot long 7/16" twist drill doesn't know what they're missing.
It’s great you carried on what your father and grandfather instilled in you !!!!!!!! 🫵🏻 do excellent work and videos !!!!!!😁
Custom Abom pulley tap! Yeah man, back to the classic Abom stuff that got me watching in the first place. Problem solving and repair work,👍
The best part of this job is that you now have a new client.
Thanks Adam, I hope that you and Abby had a great Christmas.
I would recommend tapping the top of the holes for a second set screw to act like a plug to keep rust and debris from filling up the head of the bottom set screw.
Good idea, tap a 5/8 11 at hole entrance…that way, the 17/32 clearance drill used for the tap extender would not be an issue…as it uses a 17/32 tap drill
@@ypaulbrown In a marine environment, this might trap water in the threaded areas. Sealing with lots of axle grease might keep any trapped water out between double set screws.
I am so impressed! Great professional job. I learn something new every time I see your videos. As a home hobbies you have shown me over and over how to get a job done right!
This was nice. The customer got the work done and we got to see a cool video.
That's what separates you from Everyone else. Every job is a learning and teaching experience. Well done Adam.
I'm just an electrician who repairs buses, but I've been watching your videos for years, and for that, I thank you.
My first thought was why would the other shops not take a simple job like that, but after seeing how you went about it and the special drills and tap extender that you used I realized that it was not as simple as it appeared. Thanks for another excellent video and for showing us how a job like this gets done professionally and competently. Best wishes as always from Germany and we wish you a great New Year!
If they are busy it's probably hard to justify taking in oddball work when straight forward stuff is sitting there waiting to be done.
I'm glad the other shops didn't want this job. It gives us all another opportunity for you to you showcase your work ethics and professionalism. All the best for the festive season to you and your lovely wife. Cheers from OZ mate.
Worked second shift in a large maintenance shop that had two best in class machnists on the shift. Saw them fabricate some great items after al! the industrial places were closed. They made extended taps, drill bits & reamers the by drilling a hole in the center of round stock on a lathe then turning down shaft of drill bits,taps & reamers then V connection point and would them while in the large then use the lathe to even out weld. Still have a 3' long 3/4" extended bit they fabricated for me 50 years ago. Best thing about second shift these very talented guys got tons of overtime getting equipment back on line.
Hand-tappping. As you said, for a job shop machine tapping makes sense. If you break a tap you have another part ready to take its place. For one-offs, the cost of a broken tap is MUCH much higher, so the extra time & effort for hand-tapping is minimal in comparison. Now you don't have to tell them you broke their part and they'll have to fab a new one.
Another excellent video. Thank you.
When you have the RIGHT tools. There is a place for the slogan, “no job too small” and this is it! Great video!
Excellent video. Especially like these that show unique setups. Amazing to see where you are now and when the new shop was totally empty. ! Congratulations on your success. Well deserved.
I dont turn down any work, Dont understand shops that do. Of course im a knifemaker,not machinist, ill build,fix anything ! Good video.
I think the repair/mod type videos like this are my favorite. fun video, nice job.... also sounds like an opportunity also to charge a premium rate... not to rip someone off, but charge a good rate given market conditions, and whatever the the rate was, I am sure the customer was happy to pay it. No sense holding up a $2M construction project for a $1,000 modification
Really? They were happy to leave it hanging around for 3 months. 1000$ for 2 drilled and tapped holes is absolutely a rip off. This is 200$.
@@spikeypineapple552 I don't know, nor do I want to know, what Adam charged for this service, but the above comment was simple, a minuscule charge for a part or repair should not hold up a large job or project. One is paying for knowing what to do, how to do it, and then doing it.
@@spikeypineapple552$1000 is only a “ripoff” if the customer has other options. It seems that this customer did not have any other local options. Hell, the 3 months that this part sat in a corner at the other shop probably cost them more than $1k.
I've made hundreds of extended taps, it's a great way to do it.
Good on ya for doing it, selective custom is just good business but saying you'll do it; knowing what it's really worth to the owner is humble
And you sir are one of a kind, i hope you live forever & keep putting these video's out for us all to watch and learn. love the little job's like this because i know how much this means to the guy just wanting to get 2 hole's drilled and tapped. so he can just get on with what he need's to get done. Thank's very much Adam.
Always great content here. No annoying music and I always pick up some new things. Thank you.
just a one off job youll never see again. just a good machine shop working for the customer. Good job Adam!
Been a fan for years, thank you so much.
Awesome to get a new video from you Adam, I hoped you had a great Christmas and I hope you have a fantastic New Year!!!!
I've had trouble with salt water and anti-sieze - mostly outboard repair so not much mild steel. Tef-Gel (tks Keith Fenner) has been my go to for a few years now. Pricey but good results - FWIW. Thanks for the great content of getting 'er dun when others said git a long!
Great work. I like the way you explain every thing.
Thanks for showing this. Lots to learn here for home shop DIY projects.
Loved the video,I love the care you take with a fairly simple job, surprised the customer didn't ask you to tidy up the cut edge.
I was thinking the same thing! Seeing that "Texas Hot Wrench" cut would bug me. It would be easy to chuck that thing in a lathe and clean it up and do a weld-prep on it but if the customer didn't ask...
from this video. You will get machinery and off shore repairs after watching shop with all the equipment. very nice Adam You took on the job with no hesitation
It was a simple job. If a machinist can’t or is not willing to drill and tap two holes, he should probably look for another line of work.
Nice small job that’s important for the customer. I suspect that these operations are likely the most precision and care that piece has ever seen!
Thank you for including the video from the other (awful) formats in this one. Appreciate all the info in one place.
I've made some similar job many years before for our drilling machine's engine crankcase, desperate times you know :)
Made similar extension for drilling bit (I'm not machinist btw) and I've used a socket and extension piece for tapping.
Looks good Adam! 👍👍
The only thing I would've done differently was tapped the top inch of the holes for a second pair of set screws just to prevent the holes from getting packed up with debris.
As far as why all the other shops refused the job I'm sure it was bc they wouldn't have made anything off the job when you factor in them more than likely having to manufacture tooling, like you did on top of setup time all to drill and tap two holes, it doesn't exactly leave much room for profit.
Great video, great job Abom your the best, Happy New Year to you and the family 👍🙏
Great content lining up the hole to drill and tap off the key way
Happy New Year, Adam.
Even though I have a couple extended length pully taps (got them in an auction lot still in new package) I'm going to remember the tap extention build -"just in case". Excellent tip/trick!
You are the Bomb Adam you always take on the jobs that no one else will touch👍
I love being a job shop. Everyday is a learning day!
a plug of some sort (set setscrew ?) might be a good idea to keep any trash out of the hole.
Good old quick and dirty job, but you have to have the tools and experience to do them. Looks like you polished that one off with no problems.
This job could have been done on a floor model drill press. Of course it wouldn’t be as precise as Adam’s work, but it would have gotten the job done. It’s disappointing that other shops couldn’t or wouldn’t do it.
Good job Adam ! I remember that long drill. I was there the last time !!!
Nice job sir! This will get you more business than 4 dozen ads.
The owner of the shop I worked at told me that the jobs that come in off the street are negative assets and are potentially a liability.
I live and breathe small jobs like this, and if you are clever you can take advantage of a setup for a present job.
All in all it's a goodwill gesture that word of mouth will spread nicely.
Cheers
Terry
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year from Ireland 🇮🇪
This is the kind of Abom79 videos i like 👍🏻☺️
Shop made tools are the best.
Great job 👍
I enjoyed the video,it's more applicable to something I may need to do someday.
Mr Abom79 in my belief this is very good project.
Gday Adam. Another Excellent Video. Showing the extended drill bits to taps. Good set-ups on the mill & how to work around jobs, in an orderly manner.
Well done
Ted
VERY NICE WORK ADAM THANKS.
New video. Sweet!
Thanks Adam!
Happy New Year to you and the Mrs Adam, may your business grow and may you prosper in the new year🎉🎊🎉🎊
A happy and prosperous new year to you and your family. Love your dedication to precision.
Thanks for sharing Adam.
Thanks for the video. Definitely entertaining!
Fine job Maestro👍
Id told them sure I can do it, but I'm not touching it unless you let me face off that torch edge 😂
Very nice work mister Abom. Great idea on extending drill bits. I have done it myself once or twice. Sometimes you just have to make a plan.
Could just feel you wanting to spin that part on the lathe and clean off all that rust and true it up and make it beautiful like all your other parts. Anyways, neat job. Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year Adam and Abby!
I know you do what the customer asks, but I thought it was standard practice to have the set screws press on the keys. Is that not true?
You are certainly not afraid of any challenges !!!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)
Very nice Adam
Great job. Thank you 😊
Nice work Adam!
Nice work Adam.
Nice work Sir thank you for sharing
Great job Adam! Happy New Year to you and the family!
Manual machining shows so much more creativity than CNC, it's superior !
Each has its place.
Why would you make a ridiculous claim like that? For jobbing work Manual operation of whatever machine you use will be faster and if you actually had a clue you would know you can drive a CNC Mill in that mode!
Great call on hand tapping, it'd make for a really bad day if a tap snapped off in that deep of a hole.
Merry Christmas 🎄& Happy New Year 🎉 to all.
...Add the "Mystery" metal...posible voids...Yes, good practice.
Good looking job
Wonderful Adam, cheers from Orlando, Paul
Thanks
That's one heck of a drill bit
I like to take in little jobs. Helps keep the world moving. You don’t know if it’s solving a little problem or a huge problem. But I want to be a resource for fixing machines and keeping other businesses going.
I don’t know that I could have resisted asking if I could straighten that flame cut portion for em.
amazing that no one wanted that job!
Hey Adam, Maybe in a future video you could explain why you used a gun tap vs. other tap varieties.
@21:02 _"I was surprised that the short chipping that this particular steel is putting out"_ This might be a sulferised steel grade. There are quite a few steel grades available with increased sulfur content. Sulfur forms manganese-sulfide (MnS) inclusions in the steel that have a low melting point. Presence of these inclusions aide in chip breaking. It lowers Charpy v-notch impact strength too, so the addition of sulfur isn't "free", but it can be a useable trade-off.
Wishing you a very happy New Year Adam, from the UK.
Nice job Adam, that flame cut edge was really annoying me its a pity it couldnt be faced off.
Yup I had a bit of ocd look in at it
Love your videos..nitpickers and know it all folks not so much.
I see 17/32" drill bit makes arms jiggle!
Hopefully handling this one relatively simple job will bring in more work from that company in the future.
Good Job!!! ..
Great work Adam! Although I wish it could have gone in the lathe to clean up that nasty flame cut edge!
Hello Adam, another amazing video! Quick question what blowguns are you using in this video ?
I was asking the same question. Spent 20 minutes freeze framing all the pictures of the blow gun. It is a Guardair GA4404B PalmJet Safety Air Gun. Guardair wants $46.49, Amazon has it for $34.99. Just ordered one for myself. 👍
I think the other shops turned the job down because it was too small and they would need to make some tooling. For what they would charge it was just not worth it to them. I don't think Adam made too much on the job either, but he did introduce himself to a new customer. The new customer will remember the nice part he got back and Adam didn't try to gouge him. So Adam has set himself up for return business, or better yet, referrals. That is how you build a new business.
This - all day long. There is no better advertising than a satisfied customer - and no worse advertising than a disappointed customer.
Anchor Lube is very jealous today.
I would do that job on a G&L horizontal boring mill. No problems with having enough room to get the long drill in with out moving the table in X and power feed all the way.
