Tom, your ideas on the DIY cylindrical square and the adjustable filing guide are worth their weight in gold. Showing things like this that we can do in our garage shops at home, without "high-end" machinery, is a big reason I watch your channel. I'm really looking forward to your next video!
As a long time viewer of your channel I want to express how much I appreciate your content and while I am only a mere "woodchuck" to use your tern you never cease to impress me with the more technical aspects of measuring and accuracy. You have a gift to explain these things in a manner that even I can understand and not put to sleep in the process. You even captured my attention with lapping processes and now all my woodworking hand planes are lapped to flatness and the difference in them is incredible. I looked forward to meeting you at the Summer Bash last year that you were unable to attend due to work commitments and am not sure if I will be able to make it to the Bash this year but who knows. You are the very first machinist channel I watched and I cannot recall just how I found Ox Tools but I am very grateful I did!
A bozo mark is something I look at fondly in a tool I get / buy from somebody else. When we notice them, we get to feel a little of what the original maker must have felt. It is wordless communication between two people who may never have met, but are in the know. ✌😁
Nice to see you posting regularly! The intro music makes me feel like something cool is about to happen. A bigger deal than usual these days, so thanks.
Tom, I have done the laser linear compensation on machine tools several times. We never owned our own toy so we had to contract with a provider that owned a machine. We opted for a lower tech solution by using precision step gauges and .0001" indicator. We had a 60" Mitutoyo step gauge that allowed us to most linear compensation in no more than two setups on most machine axis. We did almost no volumetric machining, so linear accuracy in X and Y planes was adequate for our purposes. Our machining tolerances were typically hole center to hole center or edge profile to hole center on large flat parts. Seeing your laser rig brings back memories. The step gauge approach was employed often enough that you might call it "routine". If we repeated within .0001" we were within our machining tolerances and often .0002" could be acceptable.
Hello again Tom, been out for awhile but I must say that's a Beautiful Machine and really has me missing my Bridgeport 3Axe Eztrack machines, loved the engraving on them.I bought them brand new for my old shop. BP in Connecticut said I was buying the last few made b4 closing and going Hardinge. Nothing like setting up, readjusting etc., using my hands in there opposed to my Fadals and other CNC machines I had for years. Still Love peeping into your channel when I can. Love being from the old school of machining and fab and love helping out the younger generation on new and old machines and machining both manual and CNC with G&M and MstrCam.....
I'm glad he does too. I also hope that he uses one of the "on-line" services that _automatically_ back up everything that you post. I recently saw an EEVBlog(2?) post aimed at RUclips content creators about this specific topic. That way Tom's "legacy" will have a better chance at always being there after when he goes to the Toolroom in the sky.
That intro music triggers great memories of excitement from watching all your videos for so many years! Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing Tom!
Thank you Tom. When you presented the Makino as the new machine in your shop, I remembered seeing this same model during the Berkeley shop tour by NYC CNC because I thought I would love to have this same model too! I have been searching for one without having to have it shipped across the continent but no luck yet. Looking forward to hearing the story about the spindle bearings replacement. Daniel
I always liked doing engraving work on non engraving machinery. I once did the IAM logo for a guy's retirement gift with the lodge # and his service dates. About 8 inches in diameter on the gear portion. Did all the programming offline one line at a time.
I used to do laser calibration for Zeiss CMM machines. One little tip is to keep the humidity consistent throughout the measuring. If the humidity changes it could change the speed at which the light propagates through the air enough to effect your measurements. You can even just use a fan across your measurement area to keep airflow moving.
That has to be the most precise filling jig I've ever seen!! It's a good use of that Talyrond column though! I will have to give the square a go, If you say it can be done by hand I must try!! Thanks again for the wealth of shared knoledge Tom!
As I recall, 16:27, the stubby LM shaft pieces let you slip a bearing off of a main shaft onto a little stubby shaft for service purposes Lots of interesting stuff. Thanks
Hi Tom, another great video with lots to learn. I also wanted to let you know that I received your letter today with your stickers, thank you very much for them, they are standing proud with my collection. Glyn. England.
Q playing with lasers in his spare time - that is a promising start of a new movie 😁 I love the idea of using a piece of linear shafting as a round square. Finally a way to create one for the hobby shop!
That B Kruppa sine bar is cool as it gets Tom. Bravo Zulu 🍻. "And I have some projects" ....LOL Those drill containers have been around for many years. the tool trucks used to offer them with their branded sets. For all All know they still do. Good meatloaf tonight.
I appreciate you saying that you're not trying to prove anything. Unlike a certain unnamed knifemaker who who seems bent on a lifelong quest to fit every possible high-tech machine in his shop.
Used to use an interferometer similar to yours to calibrate our surface plate. We had to come in at night to do the cal because we could 'see' car traffic 250 yards away not to mention people walking around 20 feet away from the surface plate. Yes this was a metrology lab & we wanted to map & know how good our AA plate actually was.
Spectacular episode! You have changed how I will look at FT-IR forever. Now I am wondering what other analytical instruments I should try moving into the garage.
Great video as usual. Because of the quality of content of your videos I recently bought your book "Metalwork, doing it better". It is far better than anything I have read on the subject. Informative and funny and goes into areas that people deem are unimportant ..... In fact they are, as you point out, the foundation of quality workmanship. Having pushed myself to learn more about as many things as I can and to do a better job (often with a significant amount of resistance from those around me) I found the book to be a breath of fresh air and have learnt much from it already. Thanks for taking the time to post the videos as they are a reminder to all of what is possible with a little thought and effort As Richard Feynman said " Almost everything is interesting if you look into it deep enough"
Did you see the readout blip fr 0.400000 to 0.00000 just as he noticed the value? Weird.. I watched it ten times, he didnt hit any zero or button or anything... Weird anomaly...
@@shawnhuk it probably reset itself somehow. Might be a thermal or electrical problem with it. The logic in the box might benefit from filtering mains voltage or so, i had microcontrollers reset based on loads switching nearby.
My Norseman drill kit (I don't know how high quality they are.. I like 'em, but that doesn't mean much) has a very similar style case that I really like! If the case is the same, the center portion is actually a separate piece, and there's a cavity in the middle you can hide taps, or snacks.
If you watch the video carefully at around the 33:29-33:30 range you can see the interferometer reference itself.The reading jumps from -0.040 and some change to exactly 0.00000. Normally this happens when you break the beam but I didn't see any large dust motes or other FOD floating around. You may want to have this unit looked over before trusting it for any critical measurements. Interferometers are tricky. They are only incremental measurement devices but they rely on a continuous beam in order to function. If the beam is broken you have two choices, either assume nothing moved and reset back to your last count, or reset to zero since you don't know what the distance is any more. Either way, fun piece of equipment. As someone who builds metrology equipment for a living it's fun to see these technologies "in the wild".
Those sine bars look like the old belt balancers. You would hang a belt over the hook end (near the 1" mark) and put your index finger under the round end and they would balance. Back in the day...
I recently purchased a Drill America Bit Cooler w/ 29 pc set of M35 Cobalt Jobber length bits from Amazon for a clam and a few skins ($102.69). So far, every hole I've punched has been straight & round.
Thanks Tom, this was a Very Tasty Meatloaf. Each of these "things" you showed could be an episode of itself (your time permitted). I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Stay safe and well :) [edit - RE: John Von Neumann quote... Blind acceptance cements your boundaries. Imagination, Study & Testing proves that boundaries can have no limit.]
The filing guide reminds me of the Russian TSProf folk that make a very nice all metal knife filing guide. Definitely a machinist solution to the knife sharpening problem.
I like the way you etch. Its not just going to rub off. I tool & cutter grinding. Many companies electro chemically etch tool numbers and important information on a work surface. The trouble it wares off pretty easy. I flute hog mills to sharpen and to setup the Monoset sine bar I need to know the lead. Of course they mark that number on the shank where wares off . Your gage with the mirrors reminded of when I worked at Waner & Swasey and how they checked the straightness of the finish ground bed ways. They had a little sled with mirrors on top set on one end of the way with a beaded chain attached. A light beam shot to mirrors on the sled at the same time the chain pulled the sled to the other end of the way. A machine measured changes and recorded the results on paper graph . Parlellism between surfaces was to be with in .0002" and straightness also to .0002" As you may known they made turning machine tools. I worked there in the early 70s . A great place to work and learn.
@@oxtoolco A Monoset is a great machine and it does many things very well . But some tool grinders want to do everything on it . One thing that ruans is doing bottoms on end mills . That back forth motion wares the dovetail ways out all in one spot . Just one of reasons you need a universal grinder with a ball bearing table. I use my Monoset mainly for the sine bar attachment and profiling radius work. I bought it used and parts were broken and as l had thought the dovetail ways were wore out . One thing I saw done at W&S was machine scraping but never learned it myself so I paid to have it done. That was in 1994 and the machine still is tight grinds like new. I would love help with your machines . When I worked at Goodyear Aerospace the department kept sending radius work over to another department when had a perfectly good Monoset. I asked the most knowledgeable man why . He said it was too hard to setup. Its not too hard to setup he and the others just didn't know . They used the machine mostly gashing port tools which wore the ways out just as bad as end mill bottoms.
@@erneststorch9844 Hi Ernest. Thanks for the note back. I have heard from machine rebuilders that monosets are a pain to re-scrape because of all the different slides and dovetails. What area of the country are you located in? Cheers, Tom
just listened to your "within tolerance" podcast (episode 35 if anyone is interesgted) and you have obviously spent a few dollars on new bearings for the Makino. Interesting podcast and meatloaf
Excellent stuff! Tom I like your style!
