Lee, This video was really helpful. I am wanting to make an overarm support bracket for my mill and the upper support arm has a male dovetail in the bottom to attach the support to. The whole gib idea takes some of the pressure off of getting the female dovetail so exact.
Great video Lee. There was a discussion on Facebook concerning adjustable parallels and a couple of us referenced your first video in this series showing their use in measuring difficult areas.
As cool as the whole video is, I pretty much knew what the process would be for making the gib, but I REALLY LIKED the Mini-Pallet Angle Plate. . . So Much Quicker than calculating & Setting up a Sine Plate for angle work. . . Definitely Going to be making one of them for myself.
Great work Lee and like a few of the comments I like the look of that Pallet you made, I see me making one soon and especially for angled cuts on smaller parts, much easier to set an angle on that than tilt the head on the mill, then struggle to get the head back to a true 90 degrees ;) The dovetail and gib is something I plan on doing for a 2 part mill vice and a compound cross slide and your vids on that are very helpful
I have to ask, is this Keith Rucker in disguise! If you listen to both voices they sound identical? I love Keith's channel and have watched all of his videos at least once! Take care!

When you say I'll get it deburred, do you do it with your finger? It worries me how many of you machinist rub your fingers across sharp objects. Fun watching the video's though.

Nice work, Lee. Glad you showed your pallet in use. I've built one myself and I really like using it. Thanks for sharing!
Great job Lee. Anxious to see what you are going to use this for.

Well done. You have us all curious as to what is next.
Do you have a link/video to your pallet build? Dimensions?
Very happy that I found your 'channel'👍👍👍
i always think about of dovetail joint and specially about the gib and its purpose. thank you buddy for sharing the video!

Interesting and informative video. Thanks ! It would be interesting to see how to make dovetails that use a tapered gib.

Nice bit of work Lee, great technique on that gib, cheers!
AWESOME WORK ! perfect job Lee ..
Nice work, I have put of making a pallet long enough. Looks like I have another project.
Excellent Lee. I really enjoyed it. I would like to try a similar project on my shaper. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing
The dimples are indentations
nice techniques i am now looking forward to the next project
Definitely enjoyed this Lee. Thanks!
Nice work Lee, enjoyed!
ATB, Robin
Very useful and insightful. Thank you!

Great video
Great work. Should be a very useful item. Where did you get the electronic angle block? Looking forward to your next video.
Found an electronic angle block. Glad I saw this video.

You should relieve one of the mating surfaces so it has no contact- the easiest would be the flat surface on the male part.
would it work to make some dovetails for a small cnc machine in the same way that you have done?
Very nice work
Do you have a link or brand and model number of that angle cube?
Did you consider making the gib tapered?
Thats awesome
Whats the name of the video where you are going to include this item in a build ?

good job your the man
Lee, what kind of material did you use?
