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.
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.
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 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.
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 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 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!
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.
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.
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!
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"
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!
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.
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.
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.

From the nitpickers’ corner: this is not a Doppler interferometer. The Doppler effect allows you to measure velocity rather than position. It is likely a Fizeau interferometer (there are many types of interferometer; this is a very simple one). It works by overlaying (or interfering) the outgoing and returning laser beams - they are on the same line, after all. Depending on the distance of the far mirror, the crests and troughs of the light wave either double (bright) or cancel (dark). As the far mirror is moved, the troughs and crests shift with respect to each other and the interfered signal goes from bright to dark to bright, and so on. The system just counts how many brights and darks it gets as you move the far end, and derives distance from that. It’s strictly a relative measurement, just like the glass scales on a DRO.

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.

From the nitpickers’ corner: this is not a Doppler interferometer. The Doppler effect allows you to measure velocity rather than position.
It is likely a Fizeau interferometer (there are many types of interferometer; this is a very simple one). It works by overlaying (or interfering) the outgoing and returning laser beams - they are on the same line, after all. Depending on the distance of the far mirror, the crests and troughs of the light wave either double (bright) or cancel (dark). As the far mirror is moved, the troughs and crests shift with respect to each other and the interfered signal goes from bright to dark to bright, and so on.
The system just counts how many brights and darks it gets as you move the far end, and derives distance from that. It’s strictly a relative measurement, just like the glass scales on a DRO.
