im glad that there is someone who shows the world the amazing skill of machining
Justin Slate
Justin Slater I love mau5
I am a machinist by trade, I still spend hours watching your videos. Building parts is such a thrill. Thanks!
How you centre and dial in that 4 jaw chuck is a thing of pure expertise. Great to watch.
That 2.5" drill is one monster!
Grooving cut was just sweet.
ChrisB257 I agree love seeing these giant drill bits
This 4 year old video popped up, so I watched it. I DO love how successful and happy you are in your new videos, but I'm just a fan of the older, quieter, "put your head down and work" style of videos you did at Motion. But, to each their own.
My purpose here is just to say, I have a small and a bigger lathe in my shop, I still find it amazing how you managed to pull some pretty amazing precision out of those big old lathes. My 15" lathe seems to just have a mind of its own sometimes... And if someone can manage to create an 8th day in the week, maybe I'll find the time to rebuild it. 🤷
Adjusting the jaws during indicating is one of those skills that just can't be taught in a classroom - pure old school machining! :)
I tell Yeah, there's so much to learn about a workmanship like mentality in all your videos, I like this, always have Great stuff Adam
Hydraulics was the main product of the company where I served my apprenticeship 30 years ago.
I have worked in IT most of the time since then. Great to watch someone making this stuff again.
I’m getting a home workshop together now so I can make stuff for fun.
Thanks for reminding me that I actually know how to do this stuff :)
You never cease to amaze when centering something!
Love the vids and sharing of knowledge, brother! God bless you and the fam, and keep it coming!
Jensen Borne Thanks!
Antonmursid🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇲🇨
I m very happy that there is someone who shows the world the amazing skill of machining
Just started watching your videos several weeks ago, and I can't stop going over and over again. I have a home shop for my reel repair and custom parts. By the way I'm 72 and I have learned things from your videos every time I watch. Good for you!
Joe Off The Hook Rod & Reel
Thanks... I have not had the opportunity to work on hydraulic cylinders. Again I appreciate your efforts to bring us the excellent videos you create Adam.
that's a bad ass trick with the dead center you're tha man abom!!
Abom, I really like the way you´re doing that minimum amount cooling .
Too many people in the industry, especially bosses, think its highly sophisticated additional machinery to already existing machines instead of smart use of compressed air and adjustable coolant nozzles .
Greetings from an austrian machine tooling engineer :)
Nice job as always Adam
Great video & great job Adam. You're a great teacher too ! Always enjoy your machining work !
If I spent as much time in the shop as I do watching these videos, I would have a room full of chips.
Adam, I really enjoy your videos and I love the way you put your heart and soul into every part of a project no matter how small. But, I gotta tell you that I think your best videos are when you are doing a repair project that requires you to manufacture some part or other. That's when your creative forces get to rumblin and you Get 'er Done !!!
+William Weaver Thanks man!
You have really developed confidence in the pro stop, you used it without mention or checking in between parts, you just talked me into it.
I'm using them quite often at work now, they work good for me.
Hi Adam.
Just a simple advice, allow the closed captions, to a lot of fans, me included, are very hepfull. I dont speak and understood english so well to follow your amazing explains.... Thanks in advance.
Your variety of videos, continue to be very interesting, often informative and certainly looked forward to seeing.
A centre drill in the thumb nail. Wow the thought of it just brought a tear to my eyes.
I had to make dovetail groves on a 12 foot diameter ring for induction pot heaters. That was fun using our vbm , groove then angles down an inch by 5/8" top to hold a special o ring. All hand ground tools , those were the days. Enjoyed the video thanks
That mister is a kickass setup. Wish i had one years ago. Now its high pressure oil in my cnc
I wanted to say thank you for all the awesome videos the only time I ever had access to these kinds of machines was back in shop class in high school kids nowadays are really missing out. all of the instructional videos and how to with tools absolutely amazing.
also wanted to say hi to a fellow Florida local from West Palm Beach
+justin schuitema Well hello Justin! 👍🏻
Wow you are really good in centering things on the lathe!!
Hello Adam, Houston we have a problem. I like your machining (learn a lot), travel (fun), Restaurant and Barbecue (drooling good) all equally well. So after much deliberation the answer that becomes apparent is that you are going to have to stop sleeping! More videos, more more more more......... Take care. Doug
+Douglas Thompson 12 hour days plus videos 😰
I had wondered how to indicate a non round object, now I know, thanks Adam! Now I'm hanging on for Pt 2!!
Patrick Sullivan just one way to do it, but an easy way to me.
got a tip for you, as a builder of metal yachts, when grinding use the whole wheel on the flat, result is polished straight line finish, there, showed ya somepin, on a high class yacht a grinder in wrong hands can cause irreparable damage in a second flat
Just found your channel and am mesmerized. I knew VERY little about metalworking, but, now that I've found your channel, I want to learn much more. Any suggestions on books for beginners? Thank you.
I use a spring loaded center a "pump center" to indicate odd shaped parts in the 4 jaw chuck.it keeps constant pressure on the work.Love the videos though,better than anything on Television.
Adam, I think you should never dream of retirement...you know too much. That was another great video, thanks
Nice job Adam, and nice surface finish on the A36.
I've been watching you on my Amazon Fire Stick TV thingy and I can't figger out how to get to the comment and like parts there.
So I'm going to use the computer to do it.
Love your stuff Adam. Great direction and commentary my friend !!!
You're my second favorite shop teacher...
I'm sorry, but Keith Rucker is my favorite. He just seems like someone you would see in a High School shop class as a teacher.
You both do great work though so you're awfully close !!!
You'll be getting a care package from me in the mail soon. Hope you like it.
Thanks and keep up the great work !!!
Great job Adam , Looking great ! Thumbs up ..
This is really cool to see because the paper mill I intern at works with motion pretty frequently. We actually just had custom hydraulic cylinders put in last summer. Wonder if you're the one that built them!?
Love these "real" costumer paying jobs. Nothing doctored for entertainment sake. This his how these things are really made!
Thanks. Great video. I needed this one. Any info about the types and location of seals, wipers, o-rings would be appreciated.
Thats a serious slab of A36, nice work sir.
+Ramsey Customs - turbocobra Alro Metals is a good supplier to deal with.
47 Seconds!!! Beat that Keith Fenner!!! Go Team ABOM79!
+Brian G Thanks Brian!
I love watching you machine Adam
Pretty quick on that 4 jaw. :-)
+bcbloc02 I've done quicker, but no one was watching....😆
I had you at 1 min. 5 sec. minus gab time. Practice for KF?
Abom79 I was waiting for you to holler TIME!
or "wrench broke!!!!!"
sir i have been seeing your awesome work from a day and im just learning a lot, it would be great if you mention the measuring tools used for process, may be in the description. well im blessed to see your work, keep going :)
every time I watching you having something new to me..I liked die centre trick.go ahead master
That part looks great 👍
Adam did you see Keith Fenner chucking down on your head funny as hell.
Great Video. Thanks for your time
great trick with the dead center, thanks
Dude! have you ever had a chunk of metal come clear of the jaws at that tempo? just watchin the speed of rotation and you standing right in front of a potential trajectory, dangerous stuff but great video thanks!
Spares... in any work... the most valuable "tool"!
Man, i'm never touch a lathe, nor i think i will ever will. But i sure would like to :(
Those interrupted cuts give me the willies.
Adam, Did you machine cylinders with you dad and Grand Dad. I have always wanted to be able to build hydraulic cylinders. I found you on youtube looking for cylinder repairs. I have always wanted to see how the groves get machined along with tubes and shafts.
Nice job. Good machinist are an endangered species
thank you Adam.
another great video thanks adam
That's fuckin awesome how you centered that in the 4 jaw!
Yeah ...he's good allright
Thankyou for another awesome video !
Check out Dura-Bar site for future projects with hydraulics or other types of ADI, or high-quality parts that can be a better balance of properties than some steels. Just another tool in the box. Love your work and videos to help the uninitiated in all its value.
Before facing, do a test groove and get the diameter right, since you are going to face the material away, may as well use it before turning it into chips.
Finally quick method to centre square stock!
that is some impressive drilling. holy cow
Adam.... Are you not afraid the flame cut surfaces will loosen up in the chuck? I am sure you know your setup and equipment but when doing mill work on an uneven surface I would always "square everything up" on the mounting surfaces. I have noticed you do a lot more lathe work than mill work. Which do you prefer and why? Video as always top notch.
+Johnny Holland That chuck will hold. In some cases use copper pads to help grip the uneven surface.
your the man Adam keep up the good work
Adam, was the dead center side cylinder on center with the center center or did you have to run out and send'er away to the center centering center for re-centering to make sure that the center center was on center with the center center side cylinder?
Kinda missing you doing smaller and repair jobs at home, hope you get back to some of that
Jusb1066 I have a couple saved up to work on.
Just once, we need to get Abom making some watch parts
That would be one massive watch - gotta be Abom sized after all
New fan, playing catch up. Love watching your videos Adam. I'm mesmerized by the them and your work! Thank you!
Cant find Cylinder Head Plates Part 2??? Hmm, Now i know what it feels like to be caught up. Time to BBQ"
+Dan Keller Welcome to current Dan. Many of my project videos I release one per week to spread them out and try to provide weekly content.
Great! Weekly project videos, I love that! Thank you for your response Adam. I would have never known what a lathe or mill was capable of until i saw your videos.... As a kid, the first time i used a 1/2" drill on some steel plate I got clobbered by the drill-side-handle. Soooo to watch you in particular machine anything, brings me great satisfaction. What i didn't expect was, to see an expert machinist making some of my favorite videos on youtube. Love being a part of all your work, TY Adam.
I'm afraid you have created a monster. You told us to ALWAYS stand up our indicators. Now I watch you every time to see if you do it. It's a compulsion. I think I need to see a psychiatrist.
+By The Sea Aspirin Shop I do it every time
👍. Actualy i have begin to ALWAYS stand my indicators upright after that advice!👍
lol i don't know why no one responded with " take two aspirin and call me in the morning" lol
What do you think about a core drill, could it save some time? And you would get a usable piece of metal instead of a pile of shavings. Like your work, keep it up. And I am gonna get me a Landmann Tenessee 400 barbecue smoker cuz of you and Russ... 😋
You mean an annular cutter? core drills for machinist are multi-flute drill bits.
Abom79 yeah I googled annular cutter and that is what we call kärn-borr in Sweden and kärnborr translates directly to core drill. Thanks, now I have one more tool in my english vocabulary. 😋
God bless you Adam. As always great video. Who makes your long "T" ruler you use at beginning of ''tis video? I can only find the 6" Length.
You invest a lot of time in project placement in the lathe jaws - the centering. Is there an extra table x, y for the lathe jaws? 2. It is not better to use a digital micrometer - faster?
Keith is in trouble at the bash.
Notice how he did not say anything about it! It was implied. Going to be a great contest...
well doenst matter where it goes, it is just some fun, a little idea grew up into some fun for the RUclips machinists, they are all friends, and the title will move around im sure, of course i will be watching it myself and commenting on the live feed, luck is gonna be a major player anyway, one fumble and your done, its all for a good cause
Is that tick tick tick when heavy drilling from the gear issue? My 10" atlas has so little rigidity + tool pressure, I can pull down on the toolpost handle (or vise versa for boring) and it won't drag when backing out. Kind of a nice feature, as if you move the dial and then need to make another cut, you're screwed.
What do you call that parting holder? I need one. The regular style do not hold.
+The Metal Butcher In the head stockthere is a gear missing a tooth. Someone crashed the lathe a while back. It's in the low end only.
Have you ever had one of those blocks come flying out of holder?
Yeah it always takes an injury to break are bad habits. I was working on my dirtbike brakes and got brake fluid in my eye, I though I was gonna loose my eye. Ever since then I got my safety squints on when doing just about anything
Could you make an adaptor and use an annular cutter to cut that initial bore?
As good as trade school, Thanks Adam.
okay that had to be a world record indication.
What is that knocking sound Adam?
Just before you started using the 2,5" drill you can hear it and it became louder once you started drilling.
Jan Visser Its one of the gears in the headstock. It got crashed years ago but still working fine.
Thank you man, that confirms my expectation, as in the other RPM's it was silent.
Wish you a good sunday.
6:12 "You seein' this, Keith?"
+ineedagoodnickname He's over there practicing for the new surface gage competition.
Adam, I was wondering if you had watched that video yet lol. He's talking a lot of shit... I think he might be a little worried!!! I know it's all in good fun though :-)
I personally would be concerned, if the tip and the bore of the dead center are aligned properly to do a measurement to find another centre in a part.
Is it precise enough to align the part?
well Bud, you've taught me many lil' things eh
6:20 Uh...yeah, Adam knows how to work a 4 jaw
What would be a proper progression of drill sizes? Or how many sizes should be skipped between the steps?
David Mm that depends on material youre drilling and your machine. Smaller lathes will stall if you try and increase to fast.
David Mm For me I like to start a pilot hole of 1/2", then depends on what hole size you wanna end up with. Usually about half, so maybe 1 1/2" next then 2 1/2".
How do you get that all mess cleaned up?
OK, I know this is an old video, but I actually burst out laughing - what took you 20 seconds would have taken me 10-15 minutes with that 4 jaw chuck...
Great job, god bless you
Adam: Keith is playing with you this week - he states he don't need no dam indicator LOl
Keep up the good work buddy
+Gordon Waŕren He don't have to use an indicator if he don't want....😆
6:16 you're gonna give fenner one hell of a run for his money.
13:37 - Doesn't the measuring tool measure from the edges rather than the exact centre, since it has flat surfaces on the measuring faces? I was just wondering if this makes a difference for measuring smaller diameter circles, since the curve of the circle is tighter. Thanks.
Jim Griffiths I asked this 6 months ago or so. Everyone says that the faces of the telescoping gauges are radiused, but they look flat to me. and if there is a radius on them, it's very slight.
They do have a radius on the end, the smaller the gauge, the more the radius stands out.
Adam, why drill all that material when you could use an annular cutter (a really big one mind you) and save the slug for future use and reduce the number of roughing operations before boring? (I get the idea that your a pro and material costs are of little concern, but the single setup with minimum chips and a reusable byproduct, the slug, would be worth it)
+MorRobots That center slug and expensive annular cutter is not worth my time, I have loads of round bar in the shop.
time is money i guess, the balance of hourly pay vs the material lost
I figured as much. difference between a pro and a hobbyist. If you had to do a lot of those would that effect the tooling and order of operations?
Super Vidéo, Je vous souhaite une bonne année
Someone else who does the dead center on point center approach to dialing. Use it for offset work a lot as well.
My world, every day.
That's a whole lot of experience speaking on centering that four jaw :p
Don't show Fenner this video, he will crap his pants at the speed of truing that plate... :>)
Good videos keep going, greetings from Argentina
asking a silly question .... were did you get the ruler ... i live in the uk so engineering has gone ... and i need the french metric measure ...... paaa
Did you ever work for Schrader Bellows?
Adam, what pressures does that type of cylinder handle? I have a 5k pump and want to maximize the potential out of it for a future project.
This one its built for 3,000 psi
