Thanks Matty, loving the latest on the engine build, Merry Christmas to you and family too - Cheers Chris :) [Be sure to check out Matty's engineering videos, especially his beautiful Webster engine construction: ruclips.net/video/k5grnbla2wY/видео.html ]
The true art of machining right here! Making the tools that make the tools that make the tools that make the parts. When you reach that level, there's no stopping you.
Vertasium said that "analog computers are making a comeback." I like to think that Chris had a lot to do with that. I can't wait for more Antikythera content! Keep up the wonderful work!
@@ClickspringClips Looking forward to seeing the result... The Antikythera mechanism is one of the most intriguing archaeological findings of all time to me.
@@ConorMakes not really used as mr smith described, in this case. Button cutters are used to form the tooth profile on involute gear cutters. Look back thru clicksprings vids, he’s made them several times and demonstrated their use.
Wow chis! That jig is beautiful! Oh and the button cutters turned out nice too. Very excited for whatever you've got planned for 2022. Merry Christmas!
I'm not sure who I enjoy watching perform pure precision work, Chris or Stefan. Great work, finished to perfection, pure craftsmanship indeed!!!! Merry Christmas and have a Wonderful New Year!
Hiya Chris, just got back from being home with mum and family for xmas, had a great time. Nothing beats home cooked food surrounded by loved one's, laughing and joking about. I hope you and family had a great time too, my best wishes and a belated happy xmas to you all. Stunning work as always, I love the jigs you've made to make honing the edges a lot easier. Very cool. No offense meant but your video's are the second best thing to come out of the festive season, being with family comes first. Hope you don't mind 😄 All my best wishes to you and your family for the coming year, big hugs all round Cheers Chris, your the best
The brass doesn't colour the metal directly, but rather acts as a heat spreader to ensure the part is at an even temperature. The colour is determined by the thickness of the oxide layer that's formed as the part is heated. At the start the surface begins to appear yellow because short wavelength blue light is subtracted by a process of interference in the oxide layer. As the layer thickens, the affected wavelength gets longer and when it gets into the red part of the spectrum the leftover light is blue hence the progression from yellow to blue. The phenomenon is known as thin-film interference and is the same reason you can see colours in soap bubbles and films of oil on water.
👍👌👏 Extremely fantastic and impressive again and as always (video and work). Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. I wish you a wonderful Christmas time and a happy new year. Best regards luck and health.
Thank you mate; these type of cutters fit into a shank (either as a single or a double cutter) and are then used to form gear cutter profiles like these: ruclips.net/video/GlAm9eva_fQ/видео.html - Cheers :)
The tool is multipurpose; in addition to fixturing the button cutters it also acts as a carrier for sharpening the gear cutters that these sorts of button cutters generate. The slot accomodates the gear cutter, the divots make it a little more pleasant to handle while using: ruclips.net/video/4iBWq6aOugw/видео.html - Cheers :)
Chris, Is there a reason that you did not machine a flat on the button cutters so the grub screws would have a flat surface to tighten off of? stay safe Merry Christmas and Happy New Year cheers Ralph
Is pre-hardening the button cutters, given your tooling availability, a possibility before putting them in the 15 degree fixture to avoid removing and replacing them in the fixture? Very cool setup, by the way.
I watched your video on cutting gears that you linked to and IMO doesn’t explain how these work. Are they used like inserts like you’d find on a face mill?
The colour indicates the tempering temperature. Yellow is a lower temperature (~200°C) which means higher hardness, for cutters. Blue is a higher temperature (~300°C) which tempers the steel more, meaning less hardness but more toughness, e.g. for shafts or journals perhaps.
Got no idea what i just watched was waiting to see what got used for what, pretty jigs shinny surface on the pins you machined and then……??? Nothing ??? Whats so important about the angles, what do those 2 pins even get used for
It would be nice to see them used because I have no idea why this much work was important ? Why is 15 deg specifically noted? Why all the care to grind them flat? Googeling 'button cutter' gives me info about cutting buttons for jackes and such, but I don't think that's what these do? Any info someone could share I'd love to know lol

Okay. That polishing fixture was brilliant.
I love how smart this process is. The same tool was used in three different configurations to create the desired part.
I wouldnt be surprised if the reason our man here doesnt upload that often is that he was busy polishing JWST main mirrors =0

Thank you mate - I am working on the next Antikythera episode at present, more on the way as soon as I can - Cheers :)

That’s great news 👍👍
@@ClickspringClips That's wonderful can't wait to see them coming up, Wish you some pleasant holidays , love from Italy ❤️
@@ClickspringClips We're looking forward to it!
As much as your machine work is fantastic your video production is even better
Many thanks Peter, terrific to have you watching :)
Love watching you work. Now I just need to know what a button cutter used for and how to use it lol. Cheers for the video Chris
I second that.
me too
@@mrsmith8436 thank you

@@TheHailacopter Thank you Sir 👍🏻
And now we need to re define the meaning of "shiny metal"...thank's a lot Clickspring☹😉
Superlatives have boundaries, perfection has none. The most perfect straw color I've seen for a cutting tool! Happy and Safe Holiday's Chris!
Thank you mate, same to you :)
nearly 6 minutes in length?! This is the best christmas present ever! Thanks
No clue what these things are but I’m very impressed at this. Never considered stones to be a tool to make precise angles
It's weird that I'm so used to your precision and calm seeming videos...that when you tossed the Allen key I was shocked...
I have no idea what you just made, but it was well worth watching. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful work both in the machining and the video production. Always a thrill when I see a click spring video in my play list.
Not just amazing work, but wonderful clarity to the videography. Thank you.
Gonna love the super shiny end.
What are button cutters?
They are to make buttons for shirts.
hy Chris You are the Van Gogh of mechanics !!!!
Me too!
So shiny!
Wow chis! That jig is beautiful! Oh and the button cutters turned out nice too. Very excited for whatever you've got planned for 2022. Merry Christmas!
As always, very impressive. Love your work. 👍
Wow ! As usual, I am left shaking my head in amazement. Merry Christmas Chris !
I'm not sure who I enjoy watching perform pure precision work, Chris or Stefan. Great work, finished to perfection, pure craftsmanship indeed!!!! Merry Christmas and have a Wonderful New Year!
The Stefan gott… guy right?
Merry Christmas, Chris! Loving the new jams!
Looking forward to seeing you use them. Merry Christmas Chris.
Each time I see these video's I feel like sitting in a dark corner, bury my head between my knees and cry.
…….. 3:30 …….G96! Man, that’s the smell of my childhood. Constantly cleaning guns with my pops. Cheers from America, Chris
you are wonderful as ever!
I actually said "wait, hold up, where's the tin lap?", then BOOM!

Merry Clickmas, Chris!
As Mal would say on the Serenity - Shiny!
Merry one to you n yous Chris! TFS, GB :)
Merry Christmas to you too mate :)
My one criticism: needs an alignment mark on both the cutter and the mount.
Beautiful as always. Wishing you a Merry Christmas.
Thanks Jose, Merry Christmas to you too mate :)
@@ClickspringClips Thanks Chris :-)
Absolutely genius! I never though to use brass swarf like that to color metals
look through his videos, he has several utilizing that process, even making the tools to do the process!
The brass doesn't colour the metal directly, but rather acts as a heat spreader to ensure the part is at an even temperature. The colour is determined by the thickness of the oxide layer that's formed as the part is heated. At the start the surface begins to appear yellow because short wavelength blue light is subtracted by a process of interference in the oxide layer.

So two different ways, well 3 if you were to stone it down all the way too,to get the 15 degree angle, which do you prefer?
More upvotes than views - cool!
Button cutter - makes gear cutter - makes gear. See Ivan Laws book.
Thanks Chris. You outdid yourself. Are those to be used in a press?
Thank you mate; these type of cutters fit into a shank (either as a single or a double cutter) and are then used to form gear cutter profiles like these: ruclips.net/video/GlAm9eva_fQ/видео.html - Cheers :)
Is this a Christmas surprise? Chris
Put them together and get 30°. 🤔🤦♂️
Hello I was wondering what you used while heating them up that kept them from getting scale and oxydizing.
Orienting those before tightening done by eye?
Very nice! Why the slot in the fixture and the divets on the outside? Just style?
The tool is multipurpose; in addition to fixturing the button cutters it also acts as a carrier for sharpening the gear cutters that these sorts of button cutters generate. The slot accomodates the gear cutter, the divots make it a little more pleasant to handle while using: ruclips.net/video/4iBWq6aOugw/видео.html - Cheers :)
@@ClickspringClips Thanks for the explanation and link!
Chris, Is there a reason that you did not machine a flat on the button cutters so the grub screws would have a flat surface to tighten off of? stay safe Merry Christmas and Happy New Year cheers Ralph
Not really required and keeps things simple - Same to you mate, Cheers :)

How do you reestablish alignment after heat treating?
Buttons, buttons… who’s got the buttons?
So what do you cut with those?
I think they could be used to make a gear cutter.
@@awatt Spot on. This video is several years old and the buttons were indeed used to make gear cutters
👍
please make more video clips and long time video🙏🙏🙏
what was the final polishing block material?
Tin - Cheers :)
Hello, can u tell me about material metal of rod u use?
Can we have a vid of them in use?
Yes, tune in over the next few weeks - Cheers :)
I watched your video on cutting gears that you linked to and IMO doesn’t explain how these work. Are they used like inserts like you’d find on a face mill?
I think it's probably more like a fly cutter
I'm lost. Can anyone tell me in which application button cutters are used please?
Making gear cutter profiles like these: ruclips.net/video/GlAm9eva_fQ/видео.html
I thought these were going to be button cutters to cut rifling into gun/rifle barrels.
3.17...But Yellow? Woow! And what Is It for!
The colour indicates the tempering temperature. Yellow is a lower temperature (~200°C) which means higher hardness, for cutters. Blue is a higher temperature (~300°C) which tempers the steel more, meaning less hardness but more toughness, e.g. for shafts or journals perhaps.
to deep and meaningful for me
Not sure why you need to black polish the faces for?
