  • Let’s face it, it’s far too easy to push off all the little inconveniences and annoyances that crop up while working in the shop. Especially so if they get in the way of the projects we actually want to make. But sometimes those annoyances all converge on one machine. Making it... Less than enjoyable to use. This is what happened to my milling machine. It has a few small issues that I’ve been putting off for one reason or another. But now the problems have escalated to the point that I just can’t take it anymore! So today I’ll be diving into what’s wrong, fixing those issues, and making a few upgrades along the way. Enjoy!

    At the start of my career I did an internship at a small local machine shop. They had a mill vise that was kinda broken, but kinda still worked so they put it off and made do with it. Until I dropped the vice and broke it completely on a thursday morning. The master machinist got really angry and send me home for the weekend. When I came back in on monday morning everything was fixed and worked like it was supposed to. He wasn't even angry anymore, in fact he was kinda glad that my mistake forced him to fix this annoyance once and for all and he did not have to put up with it anymore.

In over fifty years of telecommunications, broadcast technician work I think I've used most types, and a Panduit mount, genuine Tywrap ties, the black ones with the metal clips, will outlast your working life. A proper tensioning/cutoff tool will guarantee the proper tension, especially on data and RF cables and the cut off ends won't tear the skin off the back of your hands next time you have to do anything inside the box. Ties trimmed with wire cutters will leave razor sharp ends that'll cut you faster than a kbar.

      Indeed, they never stay where they are supposed to be. What kind of seems to work is to replace the ususally cheap adhesive tape by some expensive 3M stuff, that tape never failed on me. But for the price of the roll of that tape you could probably replace the parts once a year for the next 50 years :)

    If he slowly replaces every broken piece of his mill with a self-machined piece, is it the same mill? What if you reassemble the old pieces into a new mill? Has he created his own brand new mill? Is the new mill his own design or the design of the original manufacturers? Does the mill create pieces for itself? Mill of Theseus brings up too many philosophical questions.

    If I may suggest something, print the documentation of the VFD and attach it to the enclosure door. Or at least a quick guide on what you have plugged on what, or a QR code for the manual or w/e. I don't think you will have any issues, having a quality unit and being so overspec'd. But for no cost this could save you some headache in the future.

    @svjness 10 месяцев назад

    Sharing this video with a coworker, I was trying to describe why the videos on this channel scratch such a particular itch for me:
    There is something *EXTREMELY* satisfying about his videos, which I think, is that when he discovers a need for a side project to better support his main project, he allows himself unlimited time, and resources to completely overbuild the side project, so that working on his main project is done right, and is enjoyable. It is enjoyable because it was done right.
    No compromises.
    Which is something that the real world, or the workforce, just doesn't allow for.
    In my mind, the main project isn't the immediate thing you are working on, but is instead a life full of all things overbuilt, and done right (or at least done in the way that you want, because you are stubborn, and getting your way feels good).

    • @InheritanceMachining
      @InheritanceMachining  10 месяцев назад +1

      Your last statement is very true. And to some extent giving myself latitude to do the supporting things is a big part of it. I'm mostly free to do what I feel is necessary, but I'm still somewhat constrained by a video schedule. Not as bad as working for someone else, but it's still there. So as long as I can make a story out of it, I'm good. I appreciate the support, man

    When I was a machine shop teacher in a vocational highschool, the administration wouldn't get me a fork truck to move (10) Trak K3 knee mills... 2800 pounds a piece. I brought two five foot pinch bars from home and jacked them up on progressively thicker stacks of 1" planks. then put a pallet jack under them. The toe jack would have worked, but you definitely picked the safer route. Dropping the knee all the way, the quill, and moving the ram to help the center of gravity make a huge difference. Awesome results! That old Enco will serve you better no doubt. P.S. the misses is having too much fun throwing boxes at you!

    We used an engine jack to maneuver our 2000+ pound Grizzly mill into position. However, once we had marked the holes for the mounting points, we temporarily relocated the mill. We then drilled the holes, installed the anchors, and patiently waited until the following day to return it to its correct position and lower it into place. If there were ever a tornado in Northern Virginia, I now know a secure spot to anchor myself. This thing isn't budging!
    I've had the drill for about two years now, but so far, I've mainly used it as an expensive drill press...
