@@millomweb Oh yeah, it destroyed the cutter, bent the Arbor, broke a C- clamp, and ruined the workpiece. But I didn't mind, it was just too much fun thinking about what happened.
Great video. Going to make a suggestion Adam. The edge of the split. Drill a hole at the edge of the split that removes the 90deg face transitions caused by the saw blade. That's going to flex & fatique and over time may induce stress fractures particularly a cast part. The little time it will take to drill, save a lot of hassle down the line. Especially after putting time working & machining that part. Hope that helps. Ireland sends many blessings! Thank you!
The arm he used to hold the head was made by him because his mill did not come with one. There is a whole playlist of videos of him making that arm back in 2016. I think he called it the "parking attachment" arm.
I feel your granddad would be proud of you for the way you do things and the accomplishment that you are doing. Hell i'm proud of you and don't even know ya. Good work Adam
I remember when he made that "parking attachment" back in 2016. It took him like 16 videos to get it done and when he tried it out he was worried he messed up because it didn't quite lineup with the head. He figured it out though and the rest is history and in his video playlist.
Having been watching a few machining channels over the last 6 months, I'm amazed at 2 things - the fact so many have toys - and that 'my first mill' is far superior (but without power at the moment !)
Thanks for another great video. As an amateur, I always enjoy seeing how a real machinist will approach holding a tricky casting like this one. I usually learn something and this time was no exception.
Are you going to "relieve" the end of the slot cut with a drilled hole to stress relieve and prevent the casting from cracking when you tighten the clamp bolt? Then you can saw or file the radius of the slit down to the drilled hole. Otherwise, that left over web would have a tendency for the ears to draw closed in a taper, rather than parallel with the shaft in the bore.
@@esnyd The drill radius should be 1.5x the width of the cut, or slightly more, depending on the tensile strength of the material. Since cast material is far more brittle than steel or other malleable metals, then I would probably venture close to 5/16 or .3175" AND additionally mill a cross-slot, with it's own end cuts radiused as well, perpendicular to the main slot to allow a more linear and parallel clamping pressure. Since this part clearly has a parallel linear motion in it's use, thus reducing these stresses minimizes any eventual breakage of the part while in use.
Great video Adam. Also, nice that you captured the process of going from vertical to horizontal milling. Never seen that before. Eventhough I had the idea of how it's done still nice to see it done. Greetings from the Netherlands Mark
He had to build the arm back in 2016 because his mill did not come with it. He has a playlist of him building what he called "parking attachment arm" which allowed him to remove the head off to the side. It took him several videos to get it built, like 15 of them.
A video from Abom27 a day, will definitely inspire!! Yeah I know, it doesn’t rhyme. What an amazing video. The swing you added to the head for change out is amazing!! Thank you for sharing all you do!!!
For some reason i just love watching raw castings being machined. Maybe its just the joy of watching a rough cast piece of iron into a precision part ready for use.
I don't think a crack will form there because it gets compressed with the clamp screw but a little bit of filing or drilling a hole is still a good idea because the slit will get a little bit longer which will make clamping easier
I can be bored and almost turning off the youtube's and I see one of your videos and my eyes light up and I begin to smile. Love your content, especially in the evening when I just want to relax and watch someone like you do something they like. I also always seem to come away from your video learning something, and hope to use that knowledge in my own life. You rock sir!
Thank you Adam for posting this video, I appreciate the walkthrough of the setup and that you gave us an experience just like being in your shop; the sounds, equipment, and the length of time it took to cut that piece... As someone who has a small hobbyist woodworking shop, and just thinking about one day (maybe) getting into machining... even still... I'll probably never in my lifetime ever do anything like that... but through your channel I just had that virtual experience.
It's always a great day when we can go over to Adam's house and hang out in the shop..had to do something similar to this the other day to one of the Brunswick machine parts on a one inch pin.. had to clean up the inside of the pinch so it would clamp the pin correctly.. now keeping in true a bomb fashion I'm going to go out to the grill and cook me some kick-ass St.Louis style pork steaks😁😉 Thanks A-bomb!
This was one of your best yet Adam---in my know nothing about machining opinion. Great shots! It was very cool to watch you convert from vertical to horizontal and use your "new" shop built parking-crane too.
If you havent already you should go back and watch some of this big metal videos from when he worked at motion industries, some really big lathes and big work.
Totally fascinating , Glad there are still guys out there that can be creators . I just got a Sheldon lathe and a small Smith milling machine . I am looking forward to learning . It's much harder than people think , and to see you do what you do is a gift . Thanks for sharing , good camera work to .
Awesome Adam, I'm surprised the drawing doesn't have maybe a 1/2 inch or so hole at the end of the slot to prevent a stress riser. Especially as it's a power hammer and will be getting a fair good whacking. Keep up the great work👊
I stand corrected. I had to go back and watch episode two to realize I had missed you cutting and grinding down the other side. That’s the only downside about longer episodes. Anyway you look at it Adam it’s a good video a good project I just got to go back and watch it over multiple times when you put out different episodes. Thanks for the good video
My mill came fitted with its own system to move the V head out of the way and it's a better style than that which I suspect is a K&T style but Adam built.
The numbers on the flat surface that you milled off were a heat code used at the factory to keep track of castings until the lab can verify the metallurgy. Not of much use after that except maybe which customer ordered what.
Another great video. Very informative, great content and really nice camera work. I'm glad that you include all the setup work. I've learned a lot by watching you and some of the other machinists.

Man, that's driving my brain nuts. You can see that the chuck is going clockwise, but because of the direction of the cut on the bit, it looks like it's going anti-clockwise.

Nice work Adam. When you move to start drilling holes are you planning to drill a round hole at the base of the slit you just cut? There will be a lot of stress on the sharp corners of the slit where the edge feathers out internally next to the bore. Are you concerned the piece could start cracking?
I thought the same, maybe Adam will do it on the DoAll. It has also the advantage that the end of the slit now having the shape of the radius of the saw blade will become straight. The actual slit will than become longer giving more “flexibility”
It's one reason for V milling on the DoAll V mill. The process you see with his K&T is not as slick as the equivalent on mine but it still means taking 4 or 6 bolts out - and in my case, fitting a drive gear to the H spindle.
Hi Adam 😊 I'm still here and enjoying your videos Sunday morning with a donut and a cup of coffee, I have got a bigger mill now and it's really impressive how much rigidity have to say, now everything is not rattling when I'm milling, I think it's soon time to get your seat put on 😉😊LOL.

@@nebtheweb8885 It'd really be a crane job without it. The 'parking' arrangement of my mill doesn't have the head swinging about loose anywhere as it remains on slides - so a simple up and back so cannot swing into other parts of the machine chipping paint off !

When he pulled that mill out I almost got sexually aroused. 😂
New with a radius corner to boot.
Crocodile Dundee would be proud. "That's not an end mill...That's an end mill"

For some reason i just love watching raw castings being machined. Maybe its just the joy of watching a rough cast piece of iron into a precision part ready for use.
Camera angle at 2:38 is perfect, when the angle touches the square blade it looks like they become one piece. Nice!
Adam, you might want to file a radius in the root of the slit with a small rat-tail file to prevent any possibility of a crack forming there.
I don't think a crack will form there because it gets compressed with the clamp screw but a little bit of filing or drilling a hole is still a good idea because the slit will get a little bit longer which will make clamping easier
Man, I was sweating that splitting operation with the saw. Very ingenious of how you finalized the clamping. Great video!
Shouldn't the boss you milled be centered on the horizontal bore?

Nice to see some heavy machining again.
Never seen that mechanism on the top to swing the vertical head round to make way for the horizontal. Very neat and saves a whole lot of hassle.
I built that myself, whole series of videos on my channel about it.

All milled surfaces and hole positions are dimensioned from the bore centerline in the drawing (apart
from the height 'z' dimensions).
Nice work Adam. When you move to start drilling holes are you planning to drill a round hole at the base of the slit you just cut? There will be a lot of stress on the sharp corners of the slit where the edge feathers out internally next to the bore. Are you concerned the piece could start cracking?
I thought the same, maybe Adam will do it on the DoAll. It has also the advantage that the end of the slit now having the shape of the radius of the saw blade will become straight. The actual slit will than become longer giving more “flexibility”
Glad to see your still charging along. Doing that change over sure seems like a lot of extra work.
"extra"? That is how the machine works. There is nothing extra about it.
It's one reason for V milling on the DoAll V mill. The process you see with his K&T is not as slick as the equivalent on mine but it still means taking 4 or 6 bolts out - and in my case, fitting a drive gear to the H spindle.
