    Probably what I enjoy most about our craft is the adventures of problem solving with minimal, undersized tools, and "unsuitable" materials. I just SO enjoy watching Brooke's work for this reason. She shows' it all: mistakes, setbacks, and successes. Plus she is a really gifted teacher and presenter.

  • @TheTacktishion

    "Always double check those clamps".... Good lesson!!!

    • @bruceraggett4506

      I forget the vertical slide clamps on the mill sometimes and that causes problems in more than one axis.

    Blondie, You do a fantastic job with your "thinking out loud" while you work which makes you an excellent instructor. Thank you for producing these videos! I always learn a lot from your videos.

    In Arabic there is a saying, “A thimble of luck is worth 6 ass-loads of education.”
    Very clever solution to cutting that blank in your bandsaw.
    I know you have been commended for this before, but I really appreciate that yiu show your errors and, to the extent you can, why they occurred. It helps me not be terribly bummed when I made errors, and to try and remember how to avoid errors. Great YT as always.

    Quinn, I absolutely love your humility, owning up to your calculated errors, or in other words, cock ups!. I recently made a similar adapter to yours albeit a 3 tee slot table to a 4 bolt 4 jaw chuck and encountered the same issues that you did. However, as you know, concentricity with a 4 jaw chuck is not a problem. Please keep the videos coming.

  • @michaelschwartz9485
    @michaelschwartz9485 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The more videos I watch, the more I like you and your channel! I'm not a machinist. I worked in a machine shops inspection and a little bit on a Monarch VMC. I'd really like to get a mill, lathe and few other machines. I'm learning so much from you and the entertainment is great! Thank you for your hard work on the videos!

  • @jonshank9572
    @jonshank9572 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That's good work making the tools stretch their limits. That has to be satisfying when you realize it came out right. Love your videos keep 'em coming, they're a bright spot in my weekend alot of times.

  • @PoolCNC
    @PoolCNC ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What a demanding project for the existing machines. The challenges were high but your competence was able to finish the project successfully! This video among the many from you impressed me! You will get a new patreon this week👍

  • @peterfox2565
    @peterfox2565 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Nice work on the adapter plate. I have a grizzly 6" rotary table that is almost identical. I bought a 6" 4 jaw that has through holes for mounting and just bolted it directly to the rotary table. It was really simple works really well.

  • @michaelrandle4128
    @michaelrandle4128 3 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    @phillipyannone3195 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Patients and perseverance wins in the end. I had to chuckle when you keep going back and retighten the hold down bolts. Reminded me of a co-worker that left a drain plug loose. Every once in a while I would see him going out to the parking lot with his drain plug wrench.

  • @howder1951
    @howder1951 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great in!novation on your band saw, it is amazing what a cup of coffee and a sandwich (or a donut) can do. I find that you love to challenge yourself, and it works to bring out the best for you. Great work again Quinn, cheers!
    Bu the by, I enjoyed the cantwist clamp build and got a kit last week, thanks.

  • @robertmiller8210
    @robertmiller8210 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video. I leaned something new almost every minute watching it. Also, omg, that was way too funny, "I'll put chamfers on it because that what's separates us from the animals". That was great, how true! Keep up the great work and thanks for making this video.

  • @devster52
    @devster52 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have been planning on doing the same project and since I have the same PM lathe and mill you have done a lot of the headache stuff for me. The only thing I will change is that I will go cheesy on material and use aluminum. It is cheap and readily available due to all the aircraft production work in the area I live. It also cuts so easy. It won't be as classy as iron but I think it will do the job. Thanks for all the hard work and head scratching!

    I agree with you on the premise that, if you want to learn, the best way is to make as many of your own tools as possible. A dual benefit being learning and cost control. Kind regards, I subscribed and tagged the bell.

  • @somaliskinnypirate
    @somaliskinnypirate 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The best machining videos out there. I love how you stretch the capabilities of your tools and explain how you decided on a particular solution to a problem. I'm new to metal working. I finally got my PM 1440GT after an 8 month wait. I've watched your lathe skills videos like three times now and they are the best, most practical that exist. I have to start cranking some stuff out before the wife wonders why this behemoth is taking up so much garage space, lol!

    Well done. I had done something similar about 10 years ago for a dividing head. It worked well and it was beyond the limits of my machines at the time so I had to make some strange jig attachments to get things working! But it was a success in the end! Total runout over 18 inches was only .0025!

    Blondi, yes. I have a HF bandsaw that came with cabinet base. It once fell over due to my neglegence and the plastic motor end cap, plastic fan, plastic electrical union box all shattered into pieces! HF does not sell those items separetly, but Jet does! And in metal! Except the fan blades. I ordered them all from Jet and they were perfect replacement parts and of superior material. Like you said, depending on which color ( bandsaw) you have ( brand). It does an amazing job for the price, and I bought mine with the classic January discount coupon.
    Love your vids and commentary.

    Also i love the way you show your mistakes. I get told off on the model engineering forum often for showing my mistakes , or as I call them .Bloopers.

    Hats off to the unmentioned adjustable vice support pictured at 16:49. What a great idea that maybe deserves it's own video.

      It’s just a machinist jack. I did do a video on making those, for what it’s worth! 😄

    A very useful project. I mounted a 6 inch three jaw on my 8 inch rotary table and had some of the same problems. Tip; When taking heavy facing cuts angle the tool face about 20 degrees to the surface for a smoother cut. 60 years machining but still learning.

    I play a miniatures game called Warhammer 40k, and one of the factions it is called 'Imperial Fists'. When ever I hear Quin say 'Standard Imperial Fist Shake' it crosses my wires for a moment and I imagine one of those guys shaking their fist at the work instead.

      The standard Imperial Fist fist shake is the same as the no. 3 Astartes fist shake, as outlined in the codex.

    I have a small lathe/mill setup. Good to know what to look for when it comes to limits.

    Probably due to the consistency of the issues in a small workshop, but again you have chosen to demonstrate another project on my to do list. The only difference on my ''process flow" would be to fit the plate to spindle nose prior to final machining of the face to maximise alignment to key features (probably not required but it makes me feel better). Also I must say that your comment on the "limitation of small machines" always makes me smile as you machines are significantly larger to the Unimat based ones that I use.

    Once all the smoke gets out of a motor, you need a new one. Another cool project.

    Great job. It is always tough taking equipment to the limits of capability, but you did great! Now you just need to look for a small W&S lathe. Maybe a 1 or 2 will fit your shop. Even an old Bridgeport mill would open up a lot of area for you to explore! Love watching your work...

    Quinn I'm glad you took this....for a spin :D I remember the days of pushing the outer limits of small machines. Now i'm pushing the limits of a lot bigger ones that are twice as old as I am ..or more. it's amazing what you can do with a little machine and big ingenuity. the moment you unwrapped the dura bar I knew you would...iron it out :D

    Angle plate. Bandsaw. Awesome.
    Yeah, the 4x6 bandsaw is one of my greatest purchases of all time.

    Feels like this sort of machining is 75% order of operations, 60% clever clamping methods and 40% lucky.

      Quite so, and about 175% math.
