Excellent explanation on "How To" set up your tools ahead of the actual operation! Some individuals are excellent machinists, some are excellent teachers. Joe, you are definitely both! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for yet another pearl of wisdom. When you finally give-up shop work, many years from now, you should become a teacher. Not only do you have a wealth of knowledge to to give, all the students would listen, for fear that you would beat the crap out of them. I certainly would :) Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year.
Joe thank you so much for selflessly lending your years of experience to all. I started building from scratch mini motorcycle choppers got the prototype running this fall. After a year working with drill press, chop saw, mig, plasma, torch, grinders, hack saw and files. I pulled the trigger on a 10”x22” cx706 lathe and 7”x20” cx600 mill. I can’t thank you enough for every time I watch one of your vids I learn so much. One of my favourite practices learned threading away from the chuck awesome. I see so much value in learning these types of practices from the start. I am 55yrs ‘double nickels’ semi retired aspiring machinist lol. I’ve had the machines 2weeks now built stands and mounted them cleaned oiled and adjusted. Started a few practice cuts on both machines. First actual project on mill set of 4 matching v blocks. 2 with holes for drilling all 4 with 3/4” deep 90deg v on top 1/4” deep 90deg v on bottom 1/2”tall x 1/4” deep clamping slots on the sides. First project on lathe longer by 1/4” on either end threaded axle to replace the one that comes with 20”bicycle tire I’m using on the front of the chopper. Need more room for springer front fork rockers and brake mounting components. I plan on making rear axle, wheel hub with bearings drive sprocket and brake rotor mounting flanges. Front axle, wheel hub with bearings and brake rotor mounting flange. Steering head, with taper bearings. Reverse rotation jack shaft with gears, eventually primary drive and transmission. Also engine performance modifications using 210 and 420cc Honda clone engines. Again thank you so much for the inspiring videos overfilled with methods, techniques, practices and priceless knowledge. K I got to the shop get cutting. R.W.Broadhead ‘Rock Choppers’
Who knew so many golden nuggets would be pulled out from turning that little bar? Mind blown - once again. 👍 I hope you and yours have a fantastic 2020 Joe.
This Old Tony I’ve watched your channel, I believe you have some sort of “finger snap”, “phone app”, “repeat DRO” feature that you could use for that 1000 pcs!
A useful lesson to end the year , I have a some small fittings to make in the coming months so right on cue thanks. Metric for us in the UK? One of the benefits of being at school in 70s England is that you can throw any measurement in any system you like at us and we know what your talking about. Furlongs , chains ,bushells , pecks, I can deal with it in cubits if need be!
I was a math geek long before my machining days. The two compliment each other so very well they're inextricably linked. What a beautiful demonstration of the blending of math and machining by doing an exercise like this is! Bravo as usual Joe Pi!
Another amazing "common-sense once you've seen it" technique! I have often wondered if a smaller lathe is better for small parts but in this case I love keeping the accuracy of my big machine over my smaller 1936 Atlas 618. Thanks for posting Joe!
Hope you and your family have a happy New year. I will definitely be in class in 2020 every time you hold one. Thanks for all the things you have shared with all of us this past year. Just want you to know how much I appreciate having someone like you to learn from.
Lotta work to make a brass tack! Awesome job! learn something from every one of your videos! I would not be afraid to tackle a job like this now. True machinist!
Thanks Joe. I think this is the type of content that really separates your channel from all the rest. Much appreciated, can't wait for the next one! Happy New Years!
I did a similar small part years ago that had an arm on one end. I had to do it on a high-speed lathe that was capable of doing 30 to 40,000 RPM. Beautiful work Joe, thank you.
Great demo well described. The oversized stock technique comes in very handy when you don't have a collet chuck to work with. Thanks for the video Joe.
Thanks for showing theory and practical application. I've always struggled with math of any sort, but watching your videos helps to reinforce concepts of mathematics and gives me more confidence to trust my numbers. These videos help a ton and I appreciate them very much. Thanks again. Keep up the great work!
Joe!!!! I can not believe what I just watched you do with a large size lathe I have no words other than AMAZING! That just shows me that I don't need a smaller lathe to make my parts ( R/C scratch builder for many years) But NOW what excuse am I going to use to justify my "I just have to have a New" lathe! LOL as Always Two Thumbs Up Sir!!! and have a WONDERFUL up coming New Year God Bless you and your family my friend
Happy new year. Very impressive demonstrartion. Of course you take care of the tip taper first... :) Will try it when my lathe will run again. Happy new year!!!
Thanks again Joe. I'm never too old to learn new tricks and I learned a couple from you this morning. That notwithstanding, I was taught long ago never to put redundant information on a print without marking at least one as "reference" or "hold". Any variance in one will affect the other so I need to know which is more critical. It may be arbitrary if neither dimension is critical, but it's still good practice. I know I'm just picking nits, but for those learning the trade I think it's important. Thanks!
Joe, just so you know, that is not how nails are made. I think the .032 dimension would have been just fine. Thanks for sharing all of the tin wall machining techniques. You have answered a lot of my questions.
"It's a half mil for you guys in the UK" - it's more for the rest of the world than UK I would say. Anyhow, I think only a very few people in the rest of the world have your skills. Thank you so much for sharing!
Happy Holidays and great video. I do basically the same technique for tool length offsets on our 2 axis cnc bridgeport at work, Since all the end mills and some of the commonly used stub length drills are in dedicated holders, I went and measured all of them in reference to one specific (an electronic edge finder to be exact) and then I put them all in an Excel spread sheet and created an offset equation that if I put in the Z-depth need from a reference datum surface on the part, the Excel file will tell me automatically what I need to set the Z axis to for all the given tools to hit that depth. This has saved me a lot of tine when I do run parts on that machine.
Getting down to the brass tacks I see. Someone had to say it. Happy New Year!! Always enjoy and learn something from your videos and this was no exception.
I appreciate ur abilty to explain and then demonstrate what u might have for us to learn. I dont have a lathe but enjoy metalworking...Happy New Years to u and your family Joe!
I never would have thought I could be done. But I guess when you think it out and you take logical steps to always work with the maximum amount of material left on your part to give you support..... It works!
WOW I was on the edge of my seat watching that! Happy and prosperous new year to you and those you love Joe. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge it is appreciated.
I love it. The concepts can apply broadly. Thanks for the class and lab today. Such detailed ability marks you as a consummate professional. Man, this is really getting down in the weeds. Too cool.
Awesome video! I always enjoy these little tips and tricks videos. This is a trick, I will certainly use. If you ever get to the point where you need an idea for a video, I would love to see your take and method for cutting a double start acme thread! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
wow! Just learned more about accurate lathe-ing than with 20 other videos combined. THANK YOU. Index your tools, begin with oversized material for stability, cut the smallest feature first. That is all new to me. Going to try this for fun just to see how accurate my setup is.
Thanks Joe. Absolutely inspirational ! I never thought it was possible to make such small parts, on a workshop size lathe. Yet another reason for me to learn how to grind and hone HSS tools - and stop relying on carbide inserts. Have a really great New Year, Paul in NZ
I'm a new comer but, to meet the tycoon like you I'll definitely make all the micro parts for me without any problems.... I loved viewing this video.....
Haha Joe you want to talk about crazy small parts, we make heart implants and cardiovascular tools and pacemaker electrodes, stents, catheters, and ablation tips where I work. All platinum, all ranging from .15θ down to .005θ. We work with drills down to .003 and boring bars down to .020. Lol. Tweezers and microscopes.
@@EitriBrokkr I don't. But I could certainly make what he made on one. As long as your tool is on center, the material will support taking axial cuts that leave miniscule diameters afterward. Provided the chips dont wrap around and break it or anything else similar you can machine a .007 to .015 pin on any lathe. You just have to have the right tool and take it all in 1 axial pass, towards the headstock. Locking the carriage and doing it with the compound is sometimes easier on the larger lathe, while on smaller ones it is easier with the carriage.
Nice video and good tips. Making that little pin from the larger piece of brass makes me think of the old cartoon where a log is whittled down to make one toothpick.
Nicely done Joe ! Your a great service to this community...thanks for all you do to continue our education. I already have a project in mind that will greatly benefit from today's tips. Happy new year and please keep 'em coming....
Vince I : Simply put, It is impossible to satisfy 7 billion Egos . There will always be a jerk somewhere who see things in a destructive way. How is it again? : "There is a sucker born every minute "
It's just like "reviews" on Amazon. Even with Starrett tools a few will give them one star reviews. It's impossible to please everyone. Also impossible to trust reviews.
This explained exactly how a friend of mine had new needles made for some obsolete carburetors he has on an antique motorcycle he has. It also explained why they cost about $300 for two of them.
Excellent video Joe. A lot of beginner machinists [and some experienced as well] don't have faith in the position of their tools. This not only shows that you can have that faith but also reinforces the old adage "better a big accurate cut on a heavy part than a small cut on a flimsy part" Happy New Year Joe - all the best to you and your loved ones.
Once again you have given me the knowledge and confidence to try something that I would have never considered possible before watching your video. Thanks again Joe. All the best for the new year, from Oz. 👍🍻
Haha! I just fixed my cross slide this morning and was getting ready to do some fine precision turning! What a cool coincidence! Thanks a mil' for al the tips! Happy New Year!
found your channel only today. subscribed and alerted!!!. After covid hopefully will pick up my tools again and aspire to these actions in remanufacturing antique carburettors
Happy New Year Joe. I have tired a lot of your techniques over the last few years. I just have a home shop now. I work in a factory as maintenance but the last place I worked I worked on the dies and program Motoman Robot water jet cutting. The water pressure was 45 to 60 k psi it was a automotive plant but on the side I do machine work. I do side work for a fabricating company that needs machine work from time to time. I have even machine parts for the very factory I work for. Over the last few years have made a lot of low pressure modulating mixing valves for a boiler company.Some of your techniques work spot on for me , but some I follow your technique but incorporate some of my style in it. But overall it has made me faster and more knowledgeable on things. I really look forward to seeing a lot more video in 2020. I really like to math video. You need to start selling video on the math techniques you use. I believe it would go over well. Again hope you had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I like when I show someone a technique and they use it as a baseline for their application. Then the next guy does the same thing to them. You can end up with some very creative solutions that way.
Thanks Joe! As a new hobby machinist I couldn't figure out how to turn a shaft to 0.0480 for a small brass cannon I made. Like most things, when you know the trick it is so obvious! I'm sure I would have figured this out after about 5 hours and 3' of brass rod. Thanks for the tip!!
Another awesome video from the Joe Pie Academy over here.... so very cool. Your explanation of the order of operations in detail is so helpful and rare. Cheers, man! You're doing some incredible work through this platform, it's a privilege to be able to watch these videos and pick up on some of that 40+ years experience from such an articulate dude. I watch every single one. Keep 'em coming.
Excellent explanation on "How To" set up your tools ahead of the actual operation! Some individuals are excellent machinists, some are excellent teachers. Joe, you are definitely both! Thanks for sharing!
Everything you show us helps in our shops, Joe. Thanks for sharing!
One of your best videos to date I think. Lots of good tips in this one.
This man is very smart ,competent and respectable.
Thanks for yet another pearl of wisdom.
When you finally give-up shop work, many years from now, you should become a teacher. Not only do you have a wealth of knowledge to to give, all the students would listen, for fear that you would beat the crap out of them.

Totally amazed me. I had no idea that something so small could be made so accurately. Thank you for educating me. Happy New Year!
Order of operation is the #1 consideration in any project. The offset approach is icing on the cake! Well played Joe! Happy New Year!
Lotta work to make a brass tack! Awesome job! learn something from every one of your videos! I would not be afraid to tackle a job like this now. True machinist!
Stunning. Simple math, perfectly thought out and displayed. Setting the bar high now for the New Year
Hit the nail on the head Joe. Another great video (:
Thanks Joe. I think this is the type of content that really separates your channel from all the rest. Much appreciated, can't wait for the next one! Happy New Years!
I appreciate that. thanks.
Great stuff as usual. Reminds me of the time we had to turn a part this size out of beryllium copper. Thanks and happy new year!
I did a similar small part years ago that had an arm on one end. I had to do it on a high-speed lathe that was capable of doing 30 to 40,000 RPM.
Beautiful work Joe, thank you.

2 thumbs up from Hamilton, Montana. I appreciate the content, extremely valuable information. Thanks always.
Great work, really enjoying watching your work and seeing tricks from your other vids
Expertly explained, some golden nuggets in that one Mr. Pie!
I love it. The concepts can apply broadly. Thanks for the class and lab today. Such detailed ability marks you as a consummate professional. Man, this is really getting down in the weeds. Too cool.

Nicely done Joe, I watched your video and went out to my lathe and made one. Worked like a charm. Thanks and happy New year.

Thanks Joe for a great year of awesome videos. You have a happy New year Bro.
Thanks. Same to you.
wow! Just learned more about accurate lathe-ing than with 20 other videos combined. THANK YOU. Index your tools, begin with oversized material for stability, cut the smallest feature first. That is all new to me. Going to try this for fun just to see how accurate my setup is.
Let me know how it works out.
Okay that's acceptable, I'm going to need 5 lb of the these by this Thursday.
That was a brilliant demonstration, thanks Joe, looking forward to more in 2020.
Great tip for setting the parting tool!
Apply that to all of your tools and the job goes much quicker.
Thanks Joe. That's crazy! I will have to watch this many times just to follow half of it. Happy New year.
You nailed it!
The whole process was riveting.
It was pun to watch.
I mean fun. lol
Excellent video as always, Joe. Happy New Year.
Hi Joe,
That was awesome. It's a pleasure watching a master at his craft. Happy New Year to you and the family.
Thanks Joe. Absolutely inspirational !

Double thumbs up on this one. Keep em coming Joe. & Merry Christmas.
Awesome video Joe....maybe a video on how to properly align your head and tail stock. This is something I’ve been struggling with.
Not sure why anyone would downvote this - excellent demo and technique to add to the arsenal! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Joe!

I believe if you serve a 100 people a free meal, someone will bitch about the color of the plate. As a channel host, I just brush it off.
It's just like "reviews" on Amazon. Even with Starrett tools a few will give them one star reviews. It's impossible to please everyone. Also impossible to trust reviews.
Definetly one of the most skillfull guys on RUclips. Keep up your great work :)
Thank you very much.
I wish I had a journeyman like you when I was doing my apprenticeship!
I also hope you and yours have a very happy new year.
I've trained many and enjoyed every one. thanks for the compliment.
I continue to learn from you Joe thanks and Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to you and your family. Another great video.
This explained exactly how a friend of mine had new needles made for some obsolete carburetors he has on an antique motorcycle he has. It also explained why they cost about $300 for two of them.
Turning them would be the easy part. Keeping it straight would be the tough part. Long needle type parts like to whip and bend.
Amazing and inspirational work as always. Happy holidays Joe.
You are a amazing man sir! Thank you for your sharing your skills! These are invaluable!
Joe, Thank you for your videos throughout the year. Great job! All the very best to you and your family for 2020!
Amazing! I can't think of anyone else that would try something like that
Excellent video Joe. A lot of beginner machinists [and some experienced as well] don't have faith in the position of their tools. This not only shows that you can have that faith but also reinforces the old adage "better a big accurate cut on a heavy part than a small cut on a flimsy part"
Happy New Year Joe - all the best to you and your loved ones.
Love your show, love your work, could I please have a quote for 1000 of these very cool thumb tacks. Greetings from Down Under.
Thank you Joe, I learnt several new tricks here!
A verry good lesson for modelbuilders like myself
Wish you and your family a Happy New Year
Cool demo. Happy New Year !

Awesome! Thank you! I have a lot of good material. if you have a question, I'll usually answer.
"After" hahahaha. It never was, and they don't plan on stopping now.
I love the razor blade click idea for back touch off. I have use gauge blocks, or any hard edge, but the audible indicator is a perk.
