    Excellent videos, Sir! I'm currently enlisted in the Marines. I can't wait to get out and go to college to get a degree in mechanical engineering, and hopefully have my own machine shop some day. I'd be a liar if I said your videos haven't inspired me just a little, and they've damn sure taught a ton. Thank you.

    I looked at this video to get info on cutting a dove tail, I have had the South Bend cross slide stop for years and never used it until last week, it does speed up the threading.

    Mr. Pete - My father was a Master Chief master machinist in the Navy during WWII and Korea (he served 1941 - 1965) and there was nothing he could not make from scratch or repair. Your skills remind me so much of him. I love your videos...keep up the excellent work!

      Sorry , I stand corrected. I learn something everyday. mrpete222 has the skills to repair/ modify all sorts of situations I could not. Noticed this last week when the cnc malfunctioned and was pointed in the direction of the 50 year old mill(never broken down) in the corner of the workshop to carry on the urgent work. After a few mishap's I'm back to watch the clip again. Learning everyday with my big portion of humble pie. . . . . P.S. The " Modern CNC mill" is still awaiting the critical/ hard to source/ expensive PCB before it can turn another cog!

      I'd bet you your YEAR'S salary you couldn't make one of these with a hacksaw and a jewelers file in 2000 min, let alone 20 min, especially not to the tolerances given by Mr. Pete in the video. On most forums you would have been roasted alive for making such a coarse and arrogant, not to mention dunderheaded statement. In fact I've never seen a worse comment on PracticalMachinist, Chaski, Homeshopmachinst or Homemodelenginemachinist !! I was floored! Lucky for you Peter Pan seems to have already run you through or I'd set you on fire, as you so richly deserve! Why don't you get a job! Got one already? Get a second and a third one cause you have WAY too much free time on your hands. And while you're at it, do something about correcting your problem of talking about things that you don't know anything about !!

    It still amazes me how much mileage I can get out of your videos how much enjoyment. I can watch these over and over and still enjoy them. Your tips with transfer punches has helped me with so many projects that I can't even count them. Every bit of important knowledge that I've gotten over the years regarding machining is due to watching your videos it's become a very enjoyable hobby and it keeps me from being sanitary in my disability...
    You have given this world an abundance valuable information which would have been forgotten in our generation had you not done so. I wish I had money so I could join your Patreon groove I just don't I am stretched to the limit financially. I had been making a specialized tool that I was selling on eBay but it became too much for me with my disability and I had to stop doing it but even that was due to your tutelage

    Clever little clamp. I have no mill, and only a tiny old Craftsman lathe (yet to be set-up) but I like to learn new stuff everyday. Between you and Keith Fenner, plenty of ideas.
    Years ago, at an auction, I paid $1,500 for an old Gerstner wooden machinist chest full of 'stuff', brought it home, it contained about $25,000 worth of Starrett and Mitutoyo machinist inspection gauges and one of those planer gauges, very pricey. And sets of those die-transfer screw marking punches.

    Another excellent job! I write this for those SB people without the royalty of a mill. Many yrs
    ago mine is only a 3/8 upsidedown " U" tightened in the provided hole then two wing screws on
    the botttom two legs (to re adj. to pick up a thread) for external threads. For internal treads I
    remove this collar and simply use a long screw in the provided hole I back out to "touch" and
    mearly adjust screw till it hits the dial housing. (internal thread stop) works perfectly

    I would REALLY like to see one other TAPER video. A video that shows how to turn a taper (between) two different diameters, like that in a lathe's chuck key. Perhaps another project series video - making a chuck key. Since this is a project that SO many people need to perform.
    Thanks again for taking the time to share your knowledge.

    @outsidescrewball 12 лет назад

    Great video, I made one for my clausing, but cut the part and then use a bolt to pull the halfs together so that the dovetails lock on the male dovetail.....you mention in you video that you shouldn't remove you part from the mill vise until you know it is correct, but if the part is set up on parallels and bumping a stop, there is no reason the part can't be pulled for fit or inspection

    I have one of those planer gages new in the box but, in thirty one years of machining I have yet to find a use for it. I mainly bought it for nostalgic value. I just remembered...I did use it once to set up the blades on my wood planer so, I stand corrected, it does have a use...lol.

    Keep up the good work, keeps us old ones watching excellent professional vidios. I had a
    little different approach, didnt have a mill back then, did it all on a shaper then slit it vertical on
    one side with 1/4 20- glued brass to its Vs then when tightened it gets pinched, so the width
    of the dovetail is not critical works for me. May have been done before i dont know.

    how in the world did I miss this this is ingenious what a simple solution. I do a lot of single point threading if I'm doing a project I know it's silly but I make all my own screws all my own fasteners unless for some reason I want to use socket head cap screws for one reason or another. I guess I just enjoy single point threading. After a while I get where I can spin that dialing laying read on the money every time but still this is a great solution

    without the means of this operation. I too had a mill got rid of it just tooling puts one in the poor
    house. I make Doves all the time only with machines of my time, cheap HSS tooling quiet 110vts
    takes no space yes a shaper. If I could only do a vidio of this amazing machine. I even made a
    milling att. for mine. Wish you could do vid. on a shaper. My cam only does 10 sec good work sam

    Sir, I really enjoy your tutorials and this is another good practical addition. I was wondering if you have posted anything about cutting tools for your milling work that I could watch or you might consider adding. The reason I ask is because I am a novice, tooling is expensive and sometimes the range on offer can be overwhelming. Is there a suggested Basics Kit we should look at. Along with the different tools to be used some speeds suggestions especially for different steels as a guideline. Many thanks, Gordon
