I was happy to see the early video. I didn't mind at all. What a great deal on those speed reducers! As far as the bee stings. My first one was the early 60's on the bottom of my barefoot. The second time was in the mid 70's while riding my motorcycle. Long story short, I hit a half dozen bees that ended up under my tucked in t-shirt and I had a bunch of welts on my stomach where they stung me. As a side note, I didn't always where a helmet when riding a motorcycle and one evening as I was riding the back roads out near Berlin Lake in Berlin Center, OH, I got smacked dead center in the forehead by a dragonfly (I think) going about 45 mph. I had this dragonfly goo all over on my forehead and it hurt worse than ALL of those bee stings! Also, rain. Riding without a helmet and getting hit in the face by rain is very painful. It feels like being jabbed in the face with a bunch of needles (or pokey things 🤣) over and over. Boy, you sure slow down fast when that happens! Another time, I wiped out on a gravel road and had to pick the gravel out of my scalp using tweezers. And that time I was hiking and got hit in the face with a thorn apple branch. Did you ever see how long those thorns are?!?! Yeah, 2 inches of thorn went in at an angle. The whole 2 inches! I pulled it out and months later, I had what looked like this huge red sore appear. I broke that open and discovered the rest of the thorn! What a hoot that was and we all had a good laugh! I have also ridden in the back of pickup trucks and station wagons! Man, those were the good ol' days! 🤣🤓
Back in the 1990s, my dog & I were way back in our yard cleaning out a rarely used shed. When all of a sudden, I felt my back on fire. Once I realized it was several yellow jackets, I immediately ran out of my shed with my dog, following right behind me yelping and crying because he, too, was getting stung. RIP: Curly.
Those tapered center drills look to be Morse taper 0, and fit the tailstock of the smaller 6" lathes such as the Craftsman or Atlas as I recall. Also a few years back had yellowjackets get me, a couple to the face. Had to get steroid shot to manage the swelling.
I used to sell heavy equipment and the aggregate stacking conveyors we sold used Dodge gear reducers to slow electric motor speed down to the required conveyor belt speed. They were quite large components and needed to deliver a lot of torque to power a 105’ long 30” wide conveyor belt loaded with gravel or crushed rock from ground level to the top of a huge stockpile! Thanks for showing us these units and demonstrating them so simply Scoutcrafter!
I had to deal with ground hornets last summer. Marked the entrance then waited till dusk. A couple of good glugs of girl scout juice (gasoline) and a lit paper towel... WHOOSH! PROBLEM SOLVED!
Good stuff Bud!! I step on a ground nest of Yellow Jackets at my Nephews house once, got stung 24 times!! I tried running into the house to get away but the door was locked!! My Nephew was laughing so hard he couldn't unlock the door!!☻
I drove through a swarm of bees on a motorcycle once. Must have been quite a sight the way I was beating the $hit out of my left arm with my right arm at 55mph on a motorcycle. They went up my coat sleeve, and I had wounds from wrist to arm pit. OUCH.
A special treat having the mosh early. I was stung by a yellow jacket on the lip which was inside a soda I was drinking. Swelled up bigtime! We used speed reducers at the concrete aggregate and asphalt plant where I worked to slow down rock crushers, shakers and conveyer belts. Very large motors! Interesting show on center drills. Watch out for those flying critters!
John my understanding of the yellow jacket, they eat mosquitoes out of your lawn. My 50 lb fur rocket got stung in her foot last week. I know it hurt because she was whining. Thank You
I have many electric Milwaukee hand tools. Most were my grandads but ive bought several also. The low speed heavy drills can hurt you if not careful. Whether with a handle or not. But awesome strong and reliable tools.
Got stung about 7 times in the back of the neck dragging a trash can over a ground nest. The weird thing is that it felt like I got hit by a baseball bat. It knocked me to the ground and thought I was getting mugged. Talk about pain.
I've been using center drills since I was just a boy working on Dad''s oid South Bend Lathe. Nice for starting holes in anything. Works well for spotting with a drill press too. Never have seen a tapered shank countersink. Many, many years servicing, installing, rebuilding, buying, etc. speed reducers. Very common on bucket elevators, conveyor belts, welding tables, lifts, you name it and if it needed a motor a gear reducer was a inexpensive way to use a smaller power source to do a lot of work with minimal service. The oil bath gears were great for dirty environments like foundries. Hooked up with splined couplings they prevented belts from burning in hot environments too. $5.00 was a hot deal. I want one for a rolling mill. This might mean I need to take a run at the flea markets and swap meet in your area John. 😁😁😎😎
I don't have any comments on the tapered shank bits or the speed reducers. I do have a fair amount of experience in hooking chains, ropes and come-alongs to the back of trucks. With my own vehicles I usually just use the receiver hitch. Once my boss's brother and I had to remove a couple of bushes from a customer's yard. I had dug around them and we were ready to try pulling them out, but the only rope we had was some really thin sisal rope I had in the trunk of my car wrapped the rope around the trunk of one bush and tied the other end to the rear crossmember of an almost brand new Dodge D-300 dump truck. I figured either the bush would pull out or the rope would snap. I was wrong. The frame of the truck bent😱 My boss never said a word to me about the bent frame which was even more surprising than not breaking the rope.
I was a kid walking past a scrap pile. Wasps had nested inside a piece of pipe, and the b@star@rd stung me in the arm pit. They didn't have a chance. Oxy/Acet was right there. So I lit it up with a 3' torch and melted that nest into a wax bulb with about 20 wasp suspended inside the wax. Bet they'll NEVER sting anyone again...lol! #$÷>"$/^ %
You're right about the news. It just drains you and makes you feel depressed. I watch the noon news today for the first time in ages and between the doom and gloom on the news, you have the murder drama show ads and all the new fancy, overpriced junk and food they want to sell us. Sad. I try to stay as far away from the news as possible.
I'm always amazed at the prices you pay. Always fantastically low. The swap meets I go to they seem to want more for there rusty junk than I could buy it for new. Those speed reducers would be good for converting a wood bandsaw into a metal cutting saw. Love to have one of those at the price you paid.
My dad built a grill out of a 55 gallon drum and made a rotisserie using a speed reducer. We called the the grill "the tank"😂 He could smoke a hole small pig on thing😂
Had a yard party. The mother in law showed up. She immediately spots the desert table. She breaks out into a sprint towards it, and trips over my toddler grandson. Sure could have used that ring and snatch block to assist in getting ol' lard belly back up on her feet.
Sorry you got stung! I hate pesky yellow jackets--seems like they are always the ones that get me, not a bumblebee or honeybee--it's a yellow jacket. Loved the picture of the guy with the flame-thrower taking out the nest--that's what i've wanted to use. Thanks for going over the center drills--I didn't know about those until you featured them on an earlier video and I picked up a small set. Those speed controllers were pretty cool and wow for $5 bucks each you got them for a song--good find!
I love those gear reductions. I have one that i plan on driving an airplane propeller with to move air around the shop. I also have a tree removal video coming up. Omg what an ordeal. Cheers
I worked at a coal fired power plant for 31 years and we had a ton of gear reducers. Some smaller than yours and some the size of small cars. Most were simple design like your, but some were complex as all get out. I liked your Gomez Adams mustache at the end of the Video. 😝
We use gear reducers quite extensively at my work, mostly for conveyors. We had a process that used a gear reducer to drive an overhead conveyor that had 2500 foot chain for moving dozens of molds that weighed 7500 pounds each.
@@ScoutCrafter it was literally like working inside the machine with all of the molds moving and walking amongst them. It took special training to be allowed into the area. Unfortunately we shut this process down a few years back. This was featured on a TV show years back - I was unsuccessful in a Google search for it.
Another interesting video today. I was at a yard sale a couple of years ago and bought a speed reducer for a drill. I have no idea why I bought it except it was only a couple of dollars. I haven’t messed with it but now you have me interested. I don’t know what I would use it for but I have it 😂 Thank You for sharing John!
Hey Johnny all I could find about those bits : “Established in the year 1998 at Kolkata, West Bengal, We "H.M Traders" are a Sole Proprietorship based firm, engaged as the foremost Wholesale Retailer of Cordless Chainsaw, Cordless Screwdrivers and many more”
I've got a Bald-face Hornets nest on my porch that I walk past everyday. So far they haven't bothered me, if they do, they and me are both going to have a bad day. 😮
As always very interesting ,as a child I remember 1975 I was very allergic to yellow jacket stings until I fell into a nest while fishing with my sisters boyfriend got stung 63 times never had an allergic reaction again
Hey John, Last time I got stung by yellow jackets was in the 70s. I was pulling out fence posts and didn't know there was a nest in one and got nailed about 20 time before I could get out of there. Had to go to the hospital and found out they were real bad that year. Figures. Yes I've used gear reduction tranys where i use to work. We used them on lifts for pulling heavy items out of machines. They work great to give you a lot of control and a ton of torque. As you said they slow down the RPMs but they also multiply the torque giving you a lot more control on how fast you pull something. Great little items to use. I also used one to pull motors out of cars in a garage I had. You don't need a very powerful motor to do a lot of lifting. Later
Awesome watching Monday morning while having breakfast 👍 Great lessons and yes your definitely correct about bee stings believe it or not in my 55 year old lifetime I have only been stung twice so far 😂 once by a brown wasp when I was a teenager at a campground and once by a yellow jacket 🐝 removing a huge nest under my back porch about 6 years ago 😂
Very happy to see an early upload. Very sad to see an early upload. Now nothing to live for tomorrow. Snatch blocks and 2 inch receivers. First thing you have ever discussed that I am familiar with. What kind of maniac does not own 99 center drill bits? I really hope you are selling some of your stuff to fund moving up state. I love your videos!
Wow!!!! What a deal on those speed reducers!!! That is amazing haha. I could see a person making a sharpening system out of the one with the vertical post. You could build a fixture to hold a stone. Whatever you do with them it will be cool!!!
I worked in a papermill that had a "line shaft"...each section of the paper machine had its on gear reduction unit...the "wet section" the "dry section" the "finish section"... These were very large... requiring a crew of man that only "maintained them"....greasing oiling them...the line shaft ran at 750 fpm but the machine ran at 1700 to 2000 fpm...so all of these gear reductions needed to be timed and variable.... engineering nightmare...after 17 years I retired....just my 2 cents worth...👍👍👍😎😁👀
Cool mish mosh scout very interesting I use the flame when dealing with yellow jackets Those things are so deadly I don’t take a chance ha ha god bless take care 🪖🇺🇸🙏🗽🇳🇿🦅45
I have never seen a pulley like that. I have seen that style rope shackle but I have been out of the jeep offroading club for over a decade. Nearly everyone still had wire rope then, the synthetic line was just for the guys with deep pockets. It was always annoying arguing work load limit vs break strength with the equipment. Those gear reducers are awesome, like a winch worm drive. I would try to build a slow speed grinder for sharpening lathe tooling.
What a good surprise! I guess there will be no choice but to publish two videos on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, greetings from Mexico and thank you very much.
We have gear reducers at work on our water treatment plants clarifier basins. They have to be pretty high cause you can hardly see the skimmer and rake arms move. One has to sit and watch a while to notice movement. They have a torque indicator built in that way the shear pins aren't broken or over torqued.
You addressed the 60 degree center drill and showed a spot drill. The spot drill would have been perfect for drilling that starting hole in the tin can. The center drill at 60 degrees is narrower than a standard drill bit angle. The spotting drill does not have that delicate stub tip like a center drill. You always see those tips snapped off. I used to use center drills as a starting drill until I got spot drills. Now I leave the center drills for drilling lathe centers.
I got stung as a kid and had one heck of a reaction, stung on the leg and I remember looking in the mirror and my nose was literally swollen up twice normal. Looking back things escalated fast and I can see how it could've ended different. Been stung since and never had a reaction again thank goodness.........Great deal on the geared speed reducers............AM/PM? Old Sneelock does that sometimes.
I’m planning on building a bandsaw mill with full hydraulics. The gear reducer could be used to slow the log turner down if the hydraulic motor I bought is too fast. I know you can slow the motor but I’m guessing you lose torque. I remember every sting I got and I keep bees. I got stung over 50 times with bees a couple of times. It was funny I was driving home after the stings and my back pain almost left me. After that my friend, also with chronic pain, would come over and we would catch a few bees for bee sting therapy.
I have never used a speed reducer but your example of how it might be used on a garage door is a good explanation. Thanks for the info on recovery equipment. That's good consumer advice on break strength capacity vs. working load. Be careful out there and watch out for tricks.
I had a thick beard when I was removing a wasps nest and one had gotten in my beard and stung me 3 or 4 times on my chin, my wife was laughing when she watched me slap the 💩 out of myself!! I felt like Jay Leno 😂
I never used a tapered center drill so that is a new one on me. We always used the double end 60 degree center drills. The speed reducers were interesting and they worked very well. Thanks for sharing this.
The last couple of speed reduction gear boxes I dealt with were for a plastic wrapping machine and a rotary welding table. The welding table one also had a variable speed drive, so the operator could adjust the speed depending on the weld.
I got 7 12 Yellow Jacket stings just a couple of years ago. 5 on the same day on a remodel job in the woods, and 7 just 2 weeks later on a different job at a winery all in my scalp. Quite the headache! The yellow jackets truly serve no purpose as far as I am concerned. Picked up a set of center drills based on Scout's recommendation, but haven't had the opportunity to use them quite yet. Thank you for yet another informative video.
Hey john, it seems there will be an uptick in yellow jacks due to the fact they love to eat tbe honey dew waste that forms under the trees infested by the spotted lanternfly you spoke about a month ago
I got stung several times on my roof repairing roof flashing around my chimney I had to decide whether to run to the edge and jump or run towards the bees and go down the ladder I manned up and chose option 2
Great video 👍 What a fantastic job explaining and demonstrating the many usages of center drills. I have to buy me a assortment of them now😂👍. That Curt towing hook mount looks super heavy duty . That recovery ring is a pretty good tool to save the trees 🌲 if you have to attach around them 👍. Those vintage speed reducers or ⚙️ gearboxes are pretty cool and they look like a great project to restore 👍. Those tampered shank center drills may be used with a CNC machine maybe??🤷♂️Those yellow jackets 🐝 are nasty little creatures , they are always aggressive. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Wednesday. Have a great evening . 😃👍👍
The gear reduction or speed reduction items that you have are awesome for converting typical wood cutting bandsaw into a metal cutting bandsaw. At five dollars apiece that was a awesome find.
I’ve never seen that aluminum ring. I have three snatch blocks in my truck and use those. You never know when you need to double or triple up on the pulling power of the winch! You hit deep clay mud and you might have to pull 5-10x your vehicle weight to get unstuck!
Hi John. You sure are a night owl. Me too. Would those tapered ends fit in the tail stock on a mini lathe?🤔.I use gear motors on the sphere machine I made quite a few years ago. They are geared down to 30 rpm. You have a great day. 👍👍🤔.
I had the same thought as Larry. Perhaps there is a much smaller taper receiver in use - for example the family of tapers in drill chucks. Even though these are smaller than a MT-1, maybe the amount of friction required for these bits to hold allows for a dinky taper. I hope someone actually knows!
Using it as a counter sink, great idea. Does the screws have a correct angle to do this? Or are you losing contact between the screw head and the work surface? Looking at drywall screws I have in “this bucket” on my workbench, they appear like they are not 60 degrees. I’ll have to go pickup one of those center drops to check!
Question for you John: I am in Denver and seem to recall you featuring a too outlet store in one of your videos. Do you remember the location or address of that store?
Spot on with stings! 2021, late summer was last time for me...AND my Grandson. He was hit 12-14 times, and went to ER, he's only 6. I got hit 3-4(?) times chasing them off him.
The hitch gets rated by the hitch pin, that’s only 5/8, it wouldn’t matter if the hitch itself is rated to 100k the pin is only 5/8 as far as pulling goes.
Awesome man. Great tips on the center drills. They definitely have many uses. And those yellow jackets are bad. I got stung twice in the same leg with in a week. Lol. Stay safe man!
I got ones stung in the side of my Head and it swelled. The next Morning it got so bad i looked like Quasimodo. But on the way home the boarder patrol guard was shocked to see me like that and let us skip the traffic line..
Those speed reducers were a bargain, looking forward to seeing what use you put them to ! Absolutely know what you mean about spurious specifications on Amazon, I bought a set of castors for making a mobile base for the workshop, they were listed as having bearings and were rated at 360kg, they were very reasonable and spec was well beyond my requirements. When they arrived I took the wheel off one to check it and it had no bearing - just a plastic wheel with a steel tube around the fixing bolt - not a problem for me, but quite misleading, I certainly wouldn't want to load it up to 360kg ! They did have bearings in the swivel cup though. Wasps are a pain (literally) and often spoil a late summer picnic or BBQ !
When showing what the speed reducers do, you missed an opportunity to point out that the shafts have a hole in the end that was put there by the center drills. It's just a real life example of what you showed earlier.
Interesting stuff, I will make sure I pick up some center drills next time I see them at the flea market! (I might already have a few somewhere....) 🛠👍😊
@@ScoutCrafter rigth...but i like this new time to upload videos...in the morning is better cause the brain is more open to the info...and is very relaxing too...thanx
John, welcome to the world of night owls! I saw that you used a wire cup brush in the angle grinder. Could you go over it in detail and use in a future video. Thank
Sorry about dropping this video so early- 🫣.

It did not bother me one bit, I was just laying in bed trying to find a good tool video and "viola"
Wait a sec, did you call them YellowJacks? I thought it was Yellow Jackets.
Glad you have gotten past the wasp sting; would wish it to happen to no one.

@@ScoutCrafter it was literally like working inside the machine with all of the molds moving and walking amongst them. It took special training to be allowed into the area. Unfortunately we shut this process down a few years back. This was featured on a TV show years back - I was unsuccessful in a Google search for it.
Another interesting video today. I was at a yard sale a couple of years ago and bought a speed reducer for a drill. I have no idea why I bought it except it was only a couple of dollars. I haven’t messed with it but now you have me interested. I don’t know what I would use it for but I have it 😂
Thank You for sharing John!
Hey Johnny all I could find about those bits :
“Established in the year 1998 at Kolkata, West Bengal, We "H.M Traders" are a Sole Proprietorship based firm, engaged as the foremost Wholesale Retailer of Cordless Chainsaw, Cordless Screwdrivers and many more”
Al- They are very strange to me! 🫣😂👍
+We use those speed reducers in the greenhouse industry for operating vents
I've got a Bald-face Hornets nest on my porch that I walk past everyday. So far they haven't bothered me, if they do, they and me are both going to have a bad day. 😮
Yes! I have had carpenter bees in my house for 60 years! We have an understanding- live and let live. Wasps just like chaos! 😂👍
As always very interesting ,as a child I remember 1975 I was very allergic to yellow jacket stings until I fell into a nest while fishing with my sisters boyfriend got stung 63 times never had an allergic reaction again
OMG! 🫣
Those tapered drills are for use in a tapered collet for high speed machines
SC N D AM! What a treat.
Hey John, Last time I got stung by yellow jackets was in the 70s. I was pulling out fence posts and didn't know there was a nest in one and got nailed about 20 time before I could get out of there. Had to go to the hospital and found out they were real bad that year. Figures. Yes I've used gear reduction tranys where i use to work. We used them on lifts for pulling heavy items out of machines. They work great to give you a lot of control and a ton of torque. As you said they slow down the RPMs but they also multiply the torque giving you a lot more control on how fast you pull something. Great little items to use. I also used one to pull motors out of cars in a garage I had. You don't need a very powerful motor to do a lot of lifting. Later
Awesome watching Monday morning while having breakfast 👍 Great lessons and yes your definitely correct about bee stings believe it or not in my 55 year old lifetime I have only been stung twice so far 😂 once by a brown wasp when I was a teenager at a campground and once by a yellow jacket 🐝 removing a huge nest under my back porch about 6 years ago 😂
I'd use one of those speed reducers on a powered strop for my carving knives!
Very happy to see an early upload. Very sad to see an early upload. Now nothing to live for tomorrow. Snatch blocks and 2 inch receivers. First thing you have ever discussed that I am familiar with. What kind of maniac does not own 99 center drill bits? I really hope you are selling some of your stuff to fund moving up state. I love your videos!
Snatch blocks and pulleys are amazing aren’t they?! 😃👍
Wow!!!! What a deal on those speed reducers!!! That is amazing haha. I could see a person making a sharpening system out of the one with the vertical post. You could build a fixture to hold a stone. Whatever you do with them it will be cool!!!
Some collets are tapered…..maybe for a collet chuck
Nice overview of the center drill/countersinks, Nice cleanup of the gear reducers. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on pulling stuff.
Great finds on the speed reducers. 5 dollars each! Wow, I would buy those too.
I worked in a papermill that had a "line shaft"...each section of the paper machine had its on gear reduction unit...the "wet section" the "dry section" the "finish section"...
These were very large... requiring a crew of man that only "maintained them"....greasing oiling them...the line shaft ran at 750 fpm but the machine ran at 1700 to 2000 fpm...so all of these gear reductions needed to be timed and variable.... engineering nightmare...after 17 years I retired....just my 2 cents worth...👍👍👍😎😁👀
What a great start to my day,got to watch before work😊 thanks for the center bit tutorial and loved the speed reducers. Thanks again!
Cool mish mosh scout very interesting I use the flame when dealing with yellow jackets
Those things are so deadly I don’t take a chance ha ha god bless take care 🪖🇺🇸🙏🗽🇳🇿🦅45
I have never seen a pulley like that. I have seen that style rope shackle but I have been out of the jeep offroading club for over a decade. Nearly everyone still had wire rope then, the synthetic line was just for the guys with deep pockets. It was always annoying arguing work load limit vs break strength with the equipment. Those gear reducers are awesome, like a winch worm drive. I would try to build a slow speed grinder for sharpening lathe tooling.
Patrick- The pulley is new to me also, my pockets are very shallow. 😂👍
What a good surprise! I guess there will be no choice but to publish two videos on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, greetings from Mexico and thank you very much.
Very interesting video, thanks. And yes, I was stung and it is not fun!
We have gear reducers at work on our water treatment plants clarifier basins. They have to be pretty high cause you can hardly see the skimmer and rake arms move. One has to sit and watch a while to notice movement. They have a torque indicator built in that way the shear pins aren't broken or over torqued.
Awesome!!! 😃👍
You addressed the 60 degree center drill and showed a spot drill. The spot drill would have been perfect for drilling that starting hole in the tin can. The center drill at 60 degrees is narrower than a standard drill bit angle. The spotting drill does not have that delicate stub tip like a center drill. You always see those tips snapped off. I used to use center drills as a starting drill until I got spot drills. Now I leave the center drills for drilling lathe centers.
True- However sometimes you need a very small hole and the spot drills don’t really allow that. 😃👍
I got stung as a kid and had one heck of a reaction, stung on the leg and I remember looking in the mirror and my nose was literally swollen up twice normal. Looking back things escalated fast and I can see how it could've ended different. Been stung since and never had a reaction again thank goodness.........Great deal on the geared speed reducers............AM/PM? Old Sneelock does that sometimes.
I swear sometimes I think of carrying a epi-pen! 😂👍
I’m planning on building a bandsaw mill with full hydraulics. The gear reducer could be used to slow the log turner down if the hydraulic motor I bought is too fast. I know you can slow the motor but I’m guessing you lose torque. I remember every sting I got and I keep bees. I got stung over 50 times with bees a couple of times. It was funny I was driving home after the stings and my back pain almost left me. After that my friend, also with chronic pain, would come over and we would catch a few bees for bee sting therapy.
I have never used a speed reducer but your example of how it might be used on a garage door is a good explanation. Thanks for the info on recovery equipment. That's good consumer advice on break strength capacity vs. working load. Be careful out there and watch out for tricks.
I had a thick beard when I was removing a wasps nest and one had gotten in my beard and stung me 3 or 4 times on my chin, my wife was laughing when she watched me slap the 💩 out of myself!! I felt like Jay Leno 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It is going to be a GREAT day because i get to watch Obi Won while enjoying my cup of joe!!
I never used a tapered center drill so that is a new one on me. We always used the double end 60 degree center drills. The speed reducers were interesting and they worked very well. Thanks for sharing this.
Now what do I do this afternoon? My schedule!
Nice and early today buddy. Normally I see you video in the evening but I enjoyed it during my coffee now! Hope you'll have a great week!
The last couple of speed reduction gear boxes I dealt with were for a plastic wrapping machine and a rotary welding table. The welding table one also had a variable speed drive, so the operator could adjust the speed depending on the weld.
I got 7 12 Yellow Jacket stings just a couple of years ago. 5 on the same day on a remodel job in the woods, and 7 just 2 weeks later on a different job at a winery all in my scalp. Quite the headache! The yellow jackets truly serve no purpose as far as I am concerned. Picked up a set of center drills based on Scout's recommendation, but haven't had the opportunity to use them quite yet. Thank you for yet another informative video.
Bill- so many wasps are just angry for no reason. 😂😂😂👍
Your Milwaukee sounds sweeter that my grandma’s Singer sewing machine. Also, now I have go buy a set of center drills. Great video.
I love those hole shooters! 😃👍
Hello John, thanks for the tips , I bet is going to be very interested to see inside the motors.
Hey john, it seems there will be an uptick in yellow jacks due to the fact they love to eat tbe honey dew waste that forms under the trees infested by the spotted lanternfly you spoke about a month ago
Holy cow! I haven’t seen yellow jackets in many years and this year I have a ton of them! Maybe that’s why! 😃👍
I got stung several times on my roof repairing roof flashing around my chimney I had to decide whether to run to the edge and jump or run towards the bees and go down the ladder I manned up and chose option 2
Great video 👍 What a fantastic job explaining and demonstrating the many usages of center drills. I have to buy me a assortment of them now😂👍. That Curt towing hook mount looks super heavy duty . That recovery ring is a pretty good tool to save the trees 🌲 if you have to attach around them 👍. Those vintage speed reducers or ⚙️ gearboxes are pretty cool and they look like a great project to restore 👍. Those tampered shank center drills may be used with a CNC machine maybe??🤷♂️Those yellow jackets 🐝 are nasty little creatures , they are always aggressive. Well again great video and can’t wait to see what you do on Wednesday. Have a great evening . 😃👍👍
Steven- Buy a set of HSS Center drills and you will wonder how you did without them! 😃👍
The gear reduction or speed reduction items that you have are awesome for converting typical wood cutting bandsaw into a metal cutting bandsaw. At five dollars apiece that was a awesome find.
I’ve never seen that aluminum ring. I have three snatch blocks in my truck and use those. You never know when you need to double or triple up on the pulling power of the winch! You hit deep clay mud and you might have to pull 5-10x your vehicle weight to get unstuck!
Yes! These are new to me also- all the 4WD guys are using them now. 🤔😃👍
Could you use the tapered drill shank in a 0 Morse taper tail stock on a lathe. The gear reducers would work great with knife sharpening wheels.
Yes, the Craftsman Dunlap 109.xxxx series lathes and the Craftsman Atlas 101.xxxx series have the MT 0 tailstock iirc.
Use the speed controller to motorize a bead roller for panel making in metal work.
Good video.
I wonder if those center drills would fit the tail stock of a jewelers lathe?
Ben- some people said maybe a Morse Taper 0. 🤔😃👍
What a great way to start the week!! Thanks SC, you the man!!🙂
My son bought a similar speed reducer at the steam tractor show last year. I think it was five bucks too! We have not "yet" found a use for it. 😉😉😁👍
Hi John. You sure are a night owl. Me too. Would those tapered ends fit in the tail stock on a mini lathe?🤔.I use gear motors on the sphere machine I made quite a few years ago. They are geared down to 30 rpm. You have a great day. 👍👍🤔.
Larry- The taper on the bits is very shallow unlike a Morse taper bit- I’m perplexed!
I had the same thought as Larry. Perhaps there is a much smaller taper receiver in use - for example the family of tapers in drill chucks. Even though these are smaller than a MT-1, maybe the amount of friction required for these bits to hold allows for a dinky taper. I hope someone actually knows!
Using it as a counter sink, great idea. Does the screws have a correct angle to do this? Or are you losing contact between the screw head and the work surface? Looking at drywall screws I have in “this bucket” on my workbench, they appear like they are not 60 degrees. I’ll have to go pickup one of those center drops to check!
Most screw heads are 82 or 90 degrees heads, you can get center drills in different angle’s depending on your use- 😃👍
Question for you John: I am in Denver and seem to recall you featuring a too outlet store in one of your videos. Do you remember the location or address of that store?
Great video as always thanks for sharing
Spot on with stings! 2021, late summer was last time for me...AND my Grandson. He was hit 12-14 times, and went to ER, he's only 6. I got hit 3-4(?) times chasing them off him.
Those little wasp’s really are nasty and their sting hurts for hours! 🫣😂👍
Poor little guy had the welts swell up till they connected. Swollen, red, and painful.
The hitch gets rated by the hitch pin, that’s only 5/8, it wouldn’t matter if the hitch itself is rated to 100k the pin is only 5/8 as far as pulling goes.
Smart!!!! 😃👍
Great information! I am sure there are many speed reducers around work. I will have to look for them.
The speed reducers look like the might go on a power take off to drive other devices that require more torque. But I really don't know.....
Yes, they are often used as torque multipliers! 😃👍
Awesome man. Great tips on the center drills. They definitely have many uses. And those yellow jackets are bad. I got stung twice in the same leg with in a week. Lol. Stay safe man!
Chris- Those wasps are just angry! 😂👍
Tell us more about the recovery work you used to do. Was that with the bus company?
My 4WD days. 😂👍
I got ones stung in the side of my Head and it swelled. The next Morning it got so bad i looked like Quasimodo.
But on the way home the boarder patrol guard was shocked to see me like that and let us skip the traffic line..
Yeah yellow jackets = instant Pain..🤬...when you get stung it makes a person move in funny ways quickly 😅🤣...🖖
Those speed reducers were a bargain, looking forward to seeing what use you put them to !
Absolutely know what you mean about spurious specifications on Amazon, I bought a set of castors for making a mobile base for the workshop, they were listed as having bearings and were rated at 360kg, they were very reasonable and spec was well beyond my requirements. When they arrived I took the wheel off one to check it and it had no bearing - just a plastic wheel with a steel tube around the fixing bolt - not a problem for me, but quite misleading, I certainly wouldn't want to load it up to 360kg ! They did have bearings in the swivel cup though.
Wasps are a pain (literally) and often spoil a late summer picnic or BBQ !
Yes! Castors are perfect examples! 😃👍
When showing what the speed reducers do, you missed an opportunity to point out that the shafts have a hole in the end that was put there by the center drills. It's just a real life example of what you showed earlier.
Interesting stuff, I will make sure I pick up some center drills next time I see them at the flea market! (I might already have a few somewhere....) 🛠👍😊
Last year I got stung over 20 times after running over a nest in the ground while .mowing.
They don’t like mowers- I think it’s a union thing. 😂👍🇺🇸
Spray wasps at night because thay dont fly at night and you get the hole nest
Your Early today 😮 5 bucks for speed reducing blocks that's a steel
Im still yawning and watching this video while i drink my cofffe...very interesting...but why so early?
I goofed up- I’ll explain Wednesday. 😃👍
@@ScoutCrafter rigth...but i like this new time to upload videos...in the morning is better cause the brain is more open to the info...and is very relaxing too...thanx
txs for sharing...the "Horror" of 9/11 just reminds me of that day that was a date which will live in infamy...this too will pass
Yes- I’m only a few miles from ground Zero. 😃👍
John, welcome to the world of night owls! I saw that you used a wire cup brush in the angle grinder. Could you go over it in detail and use in a future video. Thank
Absolutely Frank! 😃👍
Could they be used in the tail stock of a lathe?
