Very useful and enjoyable video. The community of RUclips users that watch machining videos are quite the special bunch. It is pretty rare that someone comments just to start trouble. The majority of viewers just want to help and share and I never fail to learn something, even when I disagree. There are many friends to be had.
I got into these machinist videos by mistake. I was looking for some shop ideas before I build my own shop but I have come to enjoy these videos. I have always enjoyed learning about and using quality tools so this is a great example of why I hang around! Thanks Chuck.
What a super neat tool, I am a factory trained Smith & Wesson mechanic(40 years ago) and worked on Law Enforcement firearms mostly. I could have used a machine like a Comparator. Expensive ?

Thanks for showing this. The used tool and machinery place b used to have a ton of them, and I really didn't know exactly what they did or how they worked.
That was a nice presentation for the uninitiated, Chuck. Thanks to you and to Carl for opening up his shop to share. There is so much out there informationally to pass to the beginner.

Hey Chuck, I have to tell you, every time I use my comparator [much smaller than that one] it's a new adventure and I need a refresher course as I've forgotten everything from the last time, but it is an awesome tool. I have to completely agree with your opening monolog, I couldn't have put it better myself, I don't think I've met or interacted with any negative people associated with this trade, be it hobby or profession, since I have been involved in it, and this medium as you say has opened up a whole new source of information and has been creating a whole new bunch of friends! Kudos to you buddy!
thank you. Your site keeps me off e-bay until you show something neat like the optical comparator. I agree with the machinist make great friends statement. I think there is a mind set of logical thinking and work ethic that helps make that connection. Not to mention it makes you feel normal with your own tool addiction.
That's really nice Chuck, thank you! I used to do most of the lathe tool grinding when the part needed custom forms. I got to use the shops comparator a few times for the most precise, and used the microscope many times on the less precise stuff... We did quite a bit of work for the Navy,and some for the Air Force... Both were often more picky then the use of the part required, so it was tight tolerances... That said it was also the most fun! :o] O,

I'm sure that part of the reason you have increasing subscribers is that you have an easy comfortable personal manner are fundamentally a really good communicator and photographer in such a way as to interest and enlighten the likes of me who know nothing through to others who are experienced machinists via the medium of video. Many people could also do this type of thing really well I'm sure but are not comfortable in front of a camera talking to an unseen audience. It also helps when you guys refer to one another suggesting the audience view other peoples channels. Thanks for showing the basics of the optical comparator belonging to your friend.

In the mid to late 70s I worked at that company in St James Minnesota. I worked in the dept that made those comparators, my job was to grind the welds down and then apply body putty to fill any voids and have it nice and smooth for painting.

I used one of these devices in the 1980's .We called it a shadow graph . The components I made were produced on a Citizen F25 CNC for missiles . the components were that small that they could not be measured with any measuring instruments except a shadow graph . they are a very useful device
I used the F25 too, remember the punchtape machine that you used to store the programs? Also I call it a shadow graph. You're not from England by any chance?
I worked at a machine shop that had one that was a 10' x 10' optical comparator that you walked inside, had a chair, and controllers, you could do all your inspection in comfort.

If you’re interested ABON79 located in Pensacola fl. gust picked one up in a auction. He’s unfamiliar with it give him a call. ABON79 is the name of his machine shop
Adam is a good friend and I did see his purchase....the use of the unit is simple depending on the screen or screens that he may have...but simple as focus and align the part on the screen lines to measure distance or angles.....small parts become very visible with the magnification ….thanks for viewing and commenting
once I found one in the production line and every one was asking what it is. it was way out of were it would belong. thanks now I know what it was and its use.
I never seen it in action before. We didn't know what it was. We had a workshop at the factory but it was far from calling it a tool-room although we produced Molds for vacuum forming. No one had a clue of what it was even the owner. for some reason someone gave it to him and if I', not mistaken he gave it to a German engineer good friend of him. so at the end it went to were it belongs.
The only thing that is missing here is a tripod. Or gimbal. Or just a stedy hand... dunno. Hard to watch the video with that "don't drink and film" message so strongly embedded into it.
Abom79 just bought one of these at an auction.
Pretty weird that youtube somehow suggested this video with the Optical tool in the thumbnail.

Thanks Carl and Chuck. Nice show and tell. Carl has a nice looking shop.
Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Tom
your channel stinks like liberals.
Great video. I saw someone buy one, but had no idea how they work. Thanks
handy tool for measuring small parts in distance or angles....
Thanks for showing this. The used tool and machinery place b used to have a ton of them, and I really didn't know exactly what they did or how they worked.

I'm sure that part of the reason you have increasing subscribers is that you have an easy comfortable personal manner are fundamentally a really good communicator and photographer in such a way as to interest and enlighten the likes of me who know nothing through to others who are experienced machinists via the medium of video.

It also helps when you guys refer to one another suggesting the audience view other peoples channels.

Hi Dan..
Thanks for watching and your comments....it was Don Cossitt that pushed me to talk....LOL...and I am happy that he did push me.

chvella thanks for the feedback, similar to me as I saw this in Carl's shop and asked what is this and what does it do??
I never seen it in action before. We didn't know what it was. We had a workshop at the factory but it was far from calling it a tool-room although we produced Molds for vacuum forming. No one had a clue of what it was even the owner. for some reason someone gave it to him and if I', not mistaken he gave it to a German engineer good friend of him. so at the end it went to were it belongs.
