We are continuously learning about precision machining, surface grinding, and other topics in making and engineering. Talking with those who are experts is a great way to learn, and putting what they suggest to the test is a common theme on this channel. SUBSCRIBE and join us on this journey!
Kinetic Precision grew out of the need for prototyping specialty antennas in support of AntennaSys, Inc. and its consulting and low-volume production needs. We have produced antennas which have been thousands of feet deep in the ocean and to the edge of space.
We make and sell the famous PFG Stones®. Others make stones, but ours are PFG!

PFG Live 2024-1027: Lapping: Finally Making Flat Mirrors!
[This is an edited version of the locally recorded PFG.Live. The TH-cam stream broke for unknown reasons, but all the good stuff is here. Enjoy! - Spencer]
Lapping: Finally Making Flat Mirrors! - After a discussion in the After-Party Round table with Robin Renzetti, I tried a version of what he suggested and started getting some really nice results: mirrors. I am bringing that recipe in for a landing.
Dry-Storage Experiment: Surprising Results! - What we thought would work great, seems to not be so. What we thought would be good is shockingly great!! We think we know why.
What Filament Suppliers Get Wrong - The experiment is already shedding light on three specific changes that filament suppliers should immediately make. We hope they are listening.

Happiness is a Haas Battery Pack in a FANUC Control
มุมมอง 2.4K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
In which I show how I used a Haas backup battery pack to replace a rather proprietary FANUC battery to good effect. There is a history here, as I identified the need for such a battery pack and started designing one. Haas beat me to market, and I am glad for it. Backup batteries in CNC machines is of great importance. Loss of machine parameters can result in (sometimes expensive) downtime, and ...

A bit late to the party, but Im having an issue with my bridgeport not fully locking.
Is it missing a washer?
Sorry, I’m late with the snide comment, but I wasn’t able to watch until now.
Still counts. 🫡

Looking forward to the pencil problem experiment 👍👍😎👍👍. Great idea.
Big shoutout to my buddy @Tom Zelickman!
Just liking and adding a comment so Spencer will get a notification will have to check his phone only to find out some Jack wagon from Southwest Missouri has commented just so that he will get a notification on his phone. Jack Wagon🎸
Just responding to some jack wagon to show that I noticed and care about viewer engagement, or at least seem to. As long as the sweet, sweet lucre keeps flowing, I'll respond to almost anything.
I would have gone with a honeycomb design on the grooving and adusted the pattern so you didn't have little sliver island mesas standing up at the circumference groove.
Please send pics.
If the line spacing is not uniform, then this IS important: it means the surface is curved perpendicular to the lines. This can be observed by tilting the optical flat along a perpendicular line and thus rotating the interference pattern.
Great show, as always! If you are interested, there are a few chemical ways to remove the mill scale. The most common is using a solution of sodium bisulfate. It works quite well, especially on heavy forge scale. The section on peel grinding was excellent. I’m going to give it a try tomorrow. I did notice that Adam recommends a maximum of 1/2 grain diameter in both depth and crossfeed. Keeping the depth to less than 1/2 grain diameter might help improve the wheel wear characteristics. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
Thanks for the nice words, and the feedback. I talked to Adam and another practitioner of peel grinding. Adam said that one-half grain size (on the order of 0.007") happens to be about the stock left after heat treating in his work. So, he has not had to push it. Another source said they also generally don't need to go more than about 0.01" deep either. So, my comments that you *can* go deeper is untested, and is speculation on my part. Might have to try it. Best... -S
intention to inform: there are juwlers resin pads. You heat them up and place what ever inside the puddle then you work the piece. When you are done you take a blowtorch and melt the piece out. That resin clinches to almost anything like a visegrip. Maybe you give it a try. The mix is mostly made from pine resin a relative hard resin.
It doesn't surprise me that you are getting a high reading in the middle and low reading at the ends. When you slide the lap back and forth, you're spending more time at the ends than at the middle, hence taking off more material at the ends.
two guys and a ... kilos of white powder cut up and stepped on for distribution ...
"stepped on" ??
Would really love to see you guys approach a new problem!
Hi guys! Great discussion, and I appreciated both of Adam's videos on his art projects! I'm sure it varies by state and city, but as far as I'm aware, there's no limit to the number of art pieces you can make per year. The liability and concern only happens when you sell or transfer them to someone else. Ergo, build and craft away, but only for your own enjoyment, or just get the paperwork and do it that way too. Loveed the discussion, and hope this helps!
You are correct!! Thanks.
How do people engineer entire CNC machines with microcontrollers motors mechanisms and more and then the battery circuit is so incredibly rudimentary that this product ends up being a game changer for 100$ that contains two diodes and two battery cell holders.
I know. Really. 🤦♂️
This was a great video. This video got me to thinking about Peter L. Stanton’s recent videos. He would be a great guest for the topic of problem solving.
AKA. Liptonite and Moment of Renzetti.
Great content ! Can't get enough of you guy's !
Thank you, I'm learning from the east coast of Australia. The sharing of knowledge is incredible 👍👌🇦🇺
Welcome to "Senior citizens struggling with zoom and hunting microns" :)
Great get together of the inspirational people... as always learned again.
Thanks for recording this, I missed it.
forbidden wisdom
Go ahead pull on that one more time.......
I cut it three times and it's still too short.
I am blown away by the interview questions. It totally changes my philosophy on interviewing candidates. Thank you Tom.
Slick 👍😎👍
Nicely done, sir.
Now you need to put a reminder in you phone to change the batteries next year or at least I do as I wouldn't look at that stick until there is a problem.
Great conversation 🙏
Thank you!
Sadly. Work says enyrhing with Bluetooth is not allowed as its causes distractions from us machining and dont allow us to hear the machines running. Yet hearing protection is required.
Why not use compressed air around grinders ? I do cylindrical grinding in the aerospace industry and I havent heard that before now. Am I missing something?
It's an old adage, and is to prevent operators from blowing grit into the grinder ways. Of course, if you know what you're doing, there's no reason not to do it. Though sometimes you'll hear me joke about never using compressed air around the grinder, as I am doing just that.
@KPNH ahhh , that makes sense ! I was a bit confused 😆 Thank you for your reply! I learned somthing today ! :)
TL is the goat. Real mvp
What was the name of the book related to gun barrel precision?
Will find out.
I *think* you're referring to the book _The Perfectionists_, by Simon Winchester. Which is not specifically about gun barrels, but the evolution of precision in machining and measurement. Highly recommended in printed or audio format.
Also, the elephants foot is caused by two different things: Expansion of the resin due to high over-exposure and build plate squish during exposure due to too fast a retraction speed that doesn't allow sufficient time for the resin to completely squeeze out from the 0.05mm (typical) initial gap between the LCD screen and the build plate. Long exposure delay after retraction finishes also is necessary to minimize elephants foot.
I almost exclusively print directly on my build plate with my Elegoo resin printers (Mars 3 Pro and Mars 4 Ultra 9K). I use a chamfer as well, but you have to change the angle and the height of your chamfer to match your base layer and transition layers. I typically only use 1 base layer and 10-ish transition layers and thus you chamfer height needs to match the height of your base + transition layer and the angle is calculated based on the base and normal exposure times. This helps the thickness issue, but to solve that completely you need to slow the retraction speed way down for all the layers, but mostly for the base + transition layers. The details are specific to the resin being used since the amount of elephants foot depends on the resin.
Sorry I missed the live stream - one thing I use all the time is vented screws. When designing anything that bolts together that has to live in vacuum, we use vented screws to prevent those little pockets of atmosphere in the bottom of blind holes from "wrecking" your vacuum. (think big cameras in astronomy)
Interesting! Thanks.
I hate people with surface grinders and full size tools.
I'm sorry. If you watch through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars, you may feel better.
A great Father's Day episode chock full of nerdy details. Very interesting - Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Could you try and get the guy from edge precision, it’d be great to see how he is getting on.
I'd love to. I tried to reach out a while back, with no luck. But, can try again.
How about Dragonfly Engineering? Mould maker with a few robots and a train set for automation.
Nice episode 👍👍
Thank you!
do you have a mist collector on that? or feel like it would be necessary to have one?
Yes, I have a Mist-Fit 550 by Aeroex.
I enjoy watching Tom. Always!
I appreciate that!
Thanks for stopping by Spencer! awesome to meet you after following your work for awhile.
It was great to connect with you. I'll see you guys again! 👊
After 30 years of milling I will never remember to reach around to activate quill lock lol
Congratulations Sam. Hopefully we will get to see the finished piece. 👍👍😎👍👍
