Smokin' slow-mo chips.

- I was facing off a job and thought I'd try filming it in slow motion and was fascinated by the smoke trails left by the chips, as they zinged off into space. The tool is taking a 0.020" cut each pass.

Very cool mate
Thanks Stu. That plate was used for the bottom lever on a Ferguson flintlock that I was building at the time for a friend who is nearly finished doing the stock. You can't rush these things mate. 🤣
I also have an old planer, I hardly use it anymore and I will have to demolish it, because if the occupational safety people see it, they ruin me.
He has them not interested in the romantic work of days gone by.
Hello Giuseppe. That is most unfortunate for you, but in your case, I would just remove the motor and render it harmless and just a reminder of more liberal times. I don’t have to worry about the OH&S nannies prosecuting me for any breaches of their ‘Laws’ as I am just a private individual with some antiquated machinery that I love to use! 😉😁 and long may that be the case! 🤣
Hypnotic ! We could set light to a newspaper right across the workshop, given the right depth of cut. You will need to swivel your vice 90 deg to get a good cut on there, it looks like you have a good size Shaper , is it a Butler ?
He he. :) I kept an eye on where they were going and there was nothing combustible in the way.
In that, I think you will find, you are mistaken. In order not to break your machine, the vise jaws need to be parallel to the direction of the cut, so in the event of the tool jamming into the work, it will be pushed out of the vise. It is a safety valve, so to speak. This particular machine has already suffered such a break, as the compound head slide has been welded back together again, sometime in the past. It is a basic bench top Mit-A-Mit shaper, manufactured during WW2, in Sydney Australia. I was lucky enough to acquire it several years ago, in exchange for some work which I still haven't been given to do! Please shoot me an email to ajs408@gmail.com.
Tony Small: I would say the cut we would have on to get "Hot Chips" was approaching .25", they would scorch holes through a drawing or newspaper 12 ft away. (only for demonstration of course). Not sure where the risk of a bang up is if you stay within the limits of the machine, but that would apply to all machines, with the workpiece held in this orientation anything other than an extreemley smooth surface against the jaws is relying purely on friction, when you cut into the jaw there is no chance of the workpiece rotating and hitting the underside of the ram causing major damage, the clapper box should be fully supported by the head on its forward stroke, depending of course on how strong the machine is made, but that is where the knowledge of the machines capabilities come in. Having had to teach this to unwilling students that seem determined to smash everything , I have witnessed many attempts to destroy a seemingly easy to break machine, but no one ever achieved this, I look forward to seeing the video on your Fergusson breach! Enjoy your Summer !
I've had little experience with shapers and am only going on what I was taught, but I think I will stick to my method, as I feel safer with it. Cutting an internal spline on a large shaper once, the tool dug in and pushed the dividing head, job and all, off the table and onto the concrete floor! Luckily the only damage was a divot out of the floor! :D Sorry mate, but I hate summer. Give me the cooler months anyday.
Tony Small: You are taking the sensible approach by going on experience, we all live longer that way, although I have to say that all my driving experience in UK did not prepare me for driving in France, when you are driving with a 40 ton lorry so close to your back that you can smell the garlic on the breath of the driver that certainly exceeds the pukker factor of facing a charging Buffalo, but with machine dangers in 25 years of teaching I have never seen a bag up on the Shaper, they run the toolpost into the chuck and rip the toolpost right off, and mill down through the bed of the Milling machine, and one, not so bright spark thought he would hold on to the Lathe chuck and stop it while his mate turned on the machine, he never tried it again. I am solar powered, so I much prefer the 45 deg Summer heat to the minus 20 Winter cold !
