Your planning to avoid potential cockups is unique.
As usual, the teacher teaches new holding techniques for tiny pieces of metal. Jewelry in disguise 😊
Sooooo, the next machinist challenge for the BarZ get together?
I have learned so much from watching your videos, and for that I am truly grateful
As you were discussing setting up the angle in minutes and second, my brain screamed, jumped out of my head, and ran out the door never to be seen again.
I guess I'll have to get into management..
Look up sexagesimal math. It's a bsse 60 mathematics system used by the Samaritans and babylonians. Anyways, the easiest way to relate to it is with a clock that has a hour and minute hand and a seconds hand and reading the time. Navigation coordinates are based similar too. Since the gearing of the rotary table takes it to a full circle, following these concepts makes sense and reading the scale starts to make sense too. It allows you to position the piece any place in a circle reletive to the center.
As you promised the other day here is that tricky beast in person. This piece is exactly why they "The smaller the harder the piece will be to achieve. Then throw in a directional turn or 3 and you really have a piece to give you a headache. Mine is moderate but really not wanted eh, LOL. This is /has been a really neet one. Thaanks I think, LOL.
Grinding Vises in sizes from 1 1/2" up to 3 " are super handy and cost almost nothing. i bought two RÖHM grinding vises New for less than 150 Bucks. i know they are import vises but they are accurate to almost a tenth in terms of squarness and paralellism and flatness . i highly recommend a tiny one and one 3 vise. the options u can do with them are so versatile !
Old stock? Rohm is one of the best brands around for tooling. Toolroom quality from Germany. I just looked on their site and a genuine 34mm (1 3/8ths?) Vise is €157 on its own, buying that and a 75mm one for $150 is an absolute bargain!

Man Joe you can humble a guy real quick ! I have a lot to learn your the Daddy !
You are truly amazing.
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new.
There is a saying that if someone cannot explain something simple enough for you to understand, then himself don't have enough knowledge of the subject.
You are an excellent machinist.
Thanks for the great content.
Riaan.
Thank you so much 😀
Hi Joe, Another incredible piece of work. Being miniature any error is magnified. Cheers from Oz, Dennis
The process here is amazing. This video is full of gems. Also - the early stages where the key set up moments are shown quickly at higher speed both saves time and provides a full view of the important aspects of the set up - that's excellent presentation. I wonder if you would mind making the short refresher on using the rotary table dials its very own video to make it easy to find in the future? I know you have other videos on it but that was the best summary and presentation on how the dials work that I have seen. Cheers Joe - making a complex little part like this by the numbers - inspirational.
As usual Joe another awesome video masterclass. Your methodology and thought processes regarding workholding are truly mind boggling to me as a hobbyist. Right now my mind is well and truly boggled 😮 your shop gem of using a vice in a vice for holding parts is something I used while following your tutorial on the pm research #1 engine, cylinder oblique ports. Such a simple idea yet it gets you past so many workholding problems. Also your mini fixture plate is a must have item. Finally Joe I would recommend your mill skill maze to all budding hobby machinists this teaching aid is superb for honing ones skills on the mill. I will leave you with one of my own "shop gems" if you mount the mill skill maze on a rotary table on your mill, then you have an almost infinite variety of maze/puzzles to traverse. Never get bored doing that. Thanks for all that you do for us mere mortals.
🏴 Regards allan.
Well done Joe, the shop gems are priceless, it reinforces the need to continually challenge yourself with demanding pieces. It’s all about the how.
Retired chemist, old school lab equipment used vernier scales for some pretty fine measurements. It’s the ONLY bit I won’t watch twice…or more.
I'm not an engineer/ machinist but watching this is truly inspiring, the skills, knowledge and how you present you have Sir is nothing short of amazing, I do hope there are apprentices learning off you at the shop, it also has to be said that the TH-cam videos you present to all of us are highly educational and helpful at whatever skill level and knowledge base we have. Thankyou, tip of the 🎩 to you
Wow.
Joe, that was Tremendous. Respect.
WOW Joe! This was some impressive work on a milling machine. My initial take was that this part would have been done on a watch makers lathe like a Lorch. Damn this was good! This part would be easy if it was several inches long. But the small size and requisite precision was impressive.
I enjoy watch every one of your videos amazing just doesn't do it justice thank you for sharing
That part is a beast. And the result is stunning. Well done!
It will be some time before I try something that challenging...
I always enjoy watching your videos. Reminds me of the days I spent making taps for Western Tap and Die in So. California in the 80's. 👏
I said it before and I'm going to say it again... I wish you or someone like you would have been my shop instructor. Your vids like this are very thorough and extremely informative. Thank you for showing us this.
Absolutely beautiful work, and I enjoyed the glimpse inside your head on your order of operations.
holy cow Joe. and I ain't kidding
very impressive.
Here I am all week worried about a keyway offset of 27.6 degree on prints I send to the shop on weldments w/ a 5" shaft w/ a pivot arm that's 14" long.
Truly incredible. I'm sorry but I have no other words that can adequately describe it.
Simply amazing Mr Joe. My undersized brain loves math, but ur skill is unbelievable. 2 comments. 1. I would have enjoyed seeing a split screen of you adjusting the dials while milling the loop(obviously it takes 2 cameras,)but I still enjoyed it. 2 I think you should get some t shirts made with "let's do it" or "I'm out"...just my .02
Nice job. Made me realize how long its been since I did really precision work. Seems I have now forgotten more than them young guys know. Lol. 39 years. The last 24 years have been mostly dedicated to industrial pump repair so the tolerances are easier and the work less complicated. Thats some intricate work you’re doing there.
Excellent, very much along the lines of making chronometer detents or gathering pallets. Took some thinking to figure out the work holding when making those as well. Never heard the chip, grip, and slip saying before, but must say it is surely the truth.
Very nice, small parts become an exercise in figuring out the order of operations, where one mistake can damage the part or compromise accuracy. As usual your demonstration shows the amount of forethought needed for a successful outcome. Nice job in both the video/ photo aspects and the voice over explanation..
Thank you.
I'm sure you heard this every second day however I'm going to say it again, damn your good at what you do.
Thank you very much. 48 years of full time practice.
It's amazing what you can do with a milling machine awesome
I find it incredibly impressive at the finishes and machining you achieve on these minature parts. Fantastic work and as always I learn something h from all your new videos. Thanks for all the great content.
Thank you very much!
Wow, nice Joe. I learned something today on this video
Well it's a late lunch with Joe today! Outstanding! Both lunch and the video. Thanks for sharing Joe!
I understand it all but i havnt the patience love watching you
I'll stick to woodworking. But I'll keep on watching here. The precision is fascinating. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
LOL I was forced to move. I just moved my crates containing my wood and metal shop to a storage yard.
As much as I would love making steam engine parts on my monarch EE lathe, I am having to build a new shop. All old world timber frame as I have more logs than cash. So this metal head engineer was dragged into serious woodworking to allow me to run metal machines.
Joe had been a god send in entertainment until I get up and running again. His experience makes the complex look easy. And the best question to ask in complex wood or metal is this:
How the heck am I going to make this without cocking it up! Likely Joes greatest contribution to us.
There were too many smart moves in this operation to mention however the thinking ahead by setting the land with a slitting saw before the final operation mind blowing. More genius instruction from the Master.
That was intense!
The good news is a customer wants 100 of these.
Joe Pie the Master!! Kudos always Joe!!
Great job, definately need magnification. My old eyes would really battle doing that. Thanks for sharing that, really interesting
Another outstanding workmanship... at my age looks sooooooooo easy!!lol start to finsh HELL that was fast😂😂😂 i need to know the shot cuts!!! For your viewser that might not know ,,,,,it took more time to think and prepare then makeing the part ,,, over past experience the 2nd one easyer to make👍👍👍
As always Sir, very impressive !!! Experience is knowledge !!!
That is top draw craftsmanship. That is a very challenging part to make, especially at that size. Being able to work out how to do it I think is key. A lot of people would struggle.
Incredible work Joe, so tiny considering the equipment you are using. Of course, the watch makers of the world are looking at this thinking "Holy cow that this is huge"...
Love you content.
Another great video with some great tips tricks and explanations. I have seen a lot of you tube machinists and Joe is the only one that really explains the how and why. Thanks Joe!!
Absolutely incredible Joe!! That would have been a tough one- Thanks for all of the knowledge and tips you include in your videos!
I have been watching your channel for several years and I have to say there are a lot of really great machinists on TH-cam but you are the best. Great presentation, great camera work, and your techniques are excellent. I retired as a computer programmer but the first half of my career was spent as a machinist starting in production work and ending that portion of my career in a major aircraft manufacturer's engineering laboratory machine shop so I have a little experience on which to base my opinion. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate the flattering comment. thank you very much. I truly believe we all rise to a level of excellence in the field we spend the most time in. A guy experienced in Ram and wire EDM could walk circles around me, but I'd probably be the guy that designed and built his fixtures. :) Perfect harmony....
Awesome.
Since ive started watching you channel i certainly appreciated the knowledge provided along with techniques shown. There was definately some challenging projects or part of projects ive seen you doing. Ive made vice stop so far, the angle blocks for repeatable angle cuts. I must say i also certainly appreciate the shop gems for setups and actual cuts to be made and it did benefit my ability to do better planning and machining as hobby machinist😃im in process of making my long overdue fixture plate and toe clamps in the following weeks or 2. That piece for the mini mill came out fantastic, a testament to good planning and milling cuts and sequences
You just never cease to amaze me Joe. Great work.
More than one wow is required: Wow 👍💪👌 Wow 👍💪👌
Your the shop gem Joe.
Thanks. It must be from years of extreme pressure. :)
Rotary table = dilemma. If big enough to be useful it's too heavy to lift
Hydrolic engine hoist (cherry picker). They are relatively cheap and will fold up small and out of the way when not needed.
I use a scissor lift table. I can get it to height, slide it on and wheel it to where I need it.
I am always impressed with the precision work and the articulate explanations you provide.
That tiny part is yet another of dozens upon dozens of the highest quality machining and order of operations. Well done sir.
Wow! Now that's what I call a miniature part.. eye loupe all the way if it was me Joe haha
Watching from the UK at the same time watching the Ukrainian beat Tyson Fury aka The Gypsy King! 🥊🥊
All I can say is Wow!!!
This is very intense!!! You are an incredible teacher. Many thanks.😊
Joe-That is super Elegant and Sophisticated.
Thanks. This is shaping up to be a very detailed model.
very very good job Mr Joe pie..thanks for your time
Fair play love this channel gutted I've not long found it
Better late than never....Welcome and hit that subscribe button !
@@joepie221 I have m8
Nice cutting out the part and nice fit.
impressive!
Thank you again Joe for another great class from the master .
Oh maaan....! My Milling Machine may not have a part 17....LOL... The more I watch the machining of the parts of this milling machine the colder my feet are getting.... Just glan I have your guidance....! Good camerawork on the TINY pieces....
What's next? molecular machines?
Incredible part Mr Pie thank you
A+
wow
"(laugh) I know you have to watch that one more then once." Nope (Well, I did, but only to get that quote right.), my old calipers worked and my current micrometers work the same way. It's millimeter and its fractions, not degree, minutes and seconds, but the same principle.
Absolutely beautiful. Totally unrelated, I wager your fingerprints change week to week. The beauty of videoing small parts
Thank you, a great synopsis as always.
Joe- you do realize us mere mortals would have to have a spreadsheet to track the order of operations?
Well done again smart moves.
I know i have said this to you before ,I WISH I HAD HALF OF YOUR TALENT, thank you Joe
Nobody gets skills like this without
a lot of hard work. Stop wishing and start making mistakes. Its how we all learned.
Thanks for the compliment. Look at every part like an opportunity to learn and don't be afraid to fail. You're on your way. OH...don't be afraid to ask an old guy a million questions and find a job with lots of different challenges.
I've watched 2x, and still need to re-watch this vid. Amazing. I always learn something from Joes model building, but this piece is final boss level difficulty. Beautiful work, as always.
Thanks. This little part was more challenging than I expected.
I'll add comments for your alg :)
You really impress me with small parts so thankyou for the content.
I seems to always second-guess which way to turn the handles on my mill or rotary table - I guess I am more of a lathe guy.
And I started a new job where they have a PCB milling machine (makes circuit boards). Never in my life have I seen a smaller jobber drill - 0.1mm (3.9 thou for you mericans) . I honesty don't think it will survive the tool-height adjustment haha
Yikes Joe that's a small delicate part. Great methodology and execution as usual!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing detail work,Joe and it didn´t fly.Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks again Joe
Awesome video and a wonderful demonstration.
thanks Joe
Don't Sneeze Joe Excellent Job.
Super miniscule and awkward - Pie does the inspired magic! Lots of interesting techniques and as usual, darned if I know how you manage to get the close ups with camera and still see what you're doing!.
Line of sight is the best camera angle, but it really does present challenges at times.
i have to watch this again, you make it look to easy
That looks like it was an interesting part to hold & machine.
Nice work Joe, lots of planes to keep track of, I am sure a lot of mirror images could be made of this by chance!
Thats one of the reasons I used the sharpie as a reference in the video. Super easy to orient the part incorrectly.
@@joepie221 Absolutely - the mirror image is a real curse and hits you when least expect it!
At first look, it looked like a miniature bolt to a rife .. I got very excited... still looks cool though...
Actually, Vernier markings are an equivalent of (1'-10") apart. But, as you hinted, that is rockets science for some people.
I managed to scarf up a Moore rotary table from the old Rocky Flats Atomic Bomb facility. Many of my tools came out of atomic energy facilities. The level of rotational precision is insane.
One might consider at first using a rotary mill accessory such as a volstro head or KT 2D rotary mill.
But the intersection between rotary motion and linear motion at the projected angle is tough to meet.
Here, using a toolmakers vise on a rotary table is more straight forward. But you will definitely need a jewelers loop here!!!
Great idea putting the toolmakers vise onboard the rotary table.
mr jp, buy a harbor freight lathe and make it incredible. Like "we can do that better" channel. You would have ton more subs. Your re-mods would b incredible.
Wow, Just WOW.
That's a small part! Good work! 👍
Thank you.
Very nice video. I find myself using round stock in a collet chuck more and more for parts like these. I like making the same part on different ends of the bar so I have an extra to mess up. And I can part them off to finish length in the lathe. And my Prototrak mill. Its conversational programming is really great for stuff like this. I haven’t used the rotary in probably 2 years.
I try to make the parts from the material supplied. Doing it from a longer blank would have been easier in my opinion. I too like the approach you described.
Two weeks after the initial post, I would just be starting for the 42nd time...😅
good one👍👍
As aleways, an amazing work, so well presented.
I've got 3 such vises, from 1.5" to 4"... and a 5" rotating table.
What an ugly little piece to make..... My little 6" chain saw needs something like that...
Nice work
Nice work!
Your amazing Joe
And rewatching for the 4th time to understand the minutes. lol. Great tutorial.
I hope you find it helpful.
Leave it to Joe pie to successfully teach vernier scales to a monkey, in sixty seconds or less.
So to recap, you'd use “graduations” for giving out academic degrees and the specific measurements on scientific equipment. A: Correct. Q: And “gradation” for the gradual change of things - which confusingly also happens 'by degrees' or stages
Got to love the English language.
