God gave You the gift of teaching Adam, you explain the setup in a way that makes it easy for anybody to learn, keep up the great work, You are a true master of the machining art.!!!
Out of high school I became an automotive machinists apprentice, I learned a lot from a few great teachers... but Adam, I have learned so much more watching your videos. Thank you for being a great teacher, entertainer, and just a bad ass professional who loves what they do. Cheers from the great white north.
Ive been subbed for a few years now but I still find it so satisfying watching Abom truing up a workpiece in the jaws. Something about it is so satisfying yet its the same process for every job on the lathe. The more intricate the workpiece the better lol
An Indicating video!!!!!!! Thank you Adam:) Adam working with an offset in his 4 jaw chuck: It's within half a thou there so we will move back to the bore to indicate. Me on a wood lathe: It's still in the lathe although it is trying to walk out the door...contact!
I think the best part of all your videos is the closing shot of you, your dad, and your grandpa. That, my friend, is priceless. The only problem is someone always starts chopping onions when that scene comes on...
I have absolutely no idea what you are doing on your videos but I do know its making me very happy watching em. The skill an precision is next level stuff Probably herd it a million times already .
Thank you Mr. Booth! Much respect and appreciation for seeing these productions that help me conceive ways to problem solve similar issues. So much in the way of principles!
Hey Adam, I have been a subscriber for a little over a year. I am not a machinist, but I do enjoy your videos. Your knowledge and passion for machining show through in every video. I also enjoy that you are happy to be sharing your work with us. Keep it up, friend.
I went to look at a optical comparator at Advanced Machinery in Dayton Ohio yesterday. Prior to going; I saw they had a couple of Monarch lathes on their website. One that caught my eye was a Monarch 16 CY w/ the taper attachment; I believe it was a 1942 model, and that it had just come in a few days ago. By the time I got down there to look around; that Monarch was on a fork lift getting hauled out to be loaded on a trailer. It had sold that quick.
Adam, Your customer wanted to avoid breaking down his production set up, but the best procedure would be to rough bore the tool holder hole and finish bore on the actual CNC lathe after the turret is properly aligned. This way the tool holder bore is the made by the actual machine that it will be used on.
Great work. Most of my favorite channels have become “talk” channels instead of “do” channels. You talk but it’s while you are setting up or doing a task. I love Rucker but he has become the scraping channel and it’s like watching 10 brake jobs in a row. I love how your projects are diverse and challenging. I’m pretty much down to you and Brian Bloc as my favorites.
The_Hate_Inside I agree. I also like the plainer restoration except 6 episodes of scraping. I’ve been watching him for years and he’s put out some great content. It just seems there is more talking these days instead of machining or restoration.
My father had an engineering workshop employing about 80 people in the 1950's. The Okuma was the big lathe in the shop. I don't know which model. It is one of my regrets that I did not have the ability to carry on my father's business. Such is life.
Great instructional video Adam. I've never even touched a lathe but I feel like I could center indicate a part on a four jaw just from watching you show me how so many times.
4:00 Another quick way to get ofset part like that centred in the 4-Jaw ... is to simply chuck them in the Tail Stock (how ever there a dozen methods) ... run the part up to the four jaw and grip it ... gets you with in .030" or somtimes MUCH closer ... first try! :)
Good to see some ol fashion abom indicating on the 4-jaw! especially on an odd sized part like that! Enjoy watching that just as much as seeing the chips fly! lol
5:00 would it be helpful to chuck up a piece of round in the tailstock that closely matches the hole in the block, and then slip the block over that round, and then close the jaws over the block to give yourself a quick center starting point? thanks for another great video i always learn something.
The quickest way I loaded parts like that was to use a standoff between part and chuck face, the use a large center in the tail stock to snug up in the ID. You'll wind up pretty much flat and within a few thousands on the ID. :0)
I worked at Colonial Machine Co right out of high school. They had a policy of no air hoses at the machines with the exception of the drill presses . You would have kot holy if you blew off a machine with a air hose. They felt that doing so would drive dust and dirt under the ways. I don't know if they still have that policy . All l will say l don't do it on my machines. Your job is turning very nice and I like your videos very much !
omg! I was running an old Okuma LB-15 at my former work. Damn that lathe was rock solid. At the end of its lifetime we had some problem with the power wiring and the hydraulics. Remember that the screen went black and we had to replace it. But still with all the problems it kept going and going. We eventually replaced it. Cant even remember what we replaced it with. It was at least a descent machine but still nothing like the okuma.
Uh, everything in **this** video was Imperial. The work on the mill will be to metric specs, but no doubt he will convert those to Imperial, since that is how his machines, mics, indicators and brains work.
I enjoy how you reference that mic as "Grand Dads Mic". It's difficult for me to call the great tools I inherited as "mine". They will always be "my Grandfathers"!
This is my Grandfather's ball-peen hammer. I had to replace the head once, and it is on the second handle - but I still consider it Grand Dad's old hammer.
Was so excited to see two vids in one night! Just like Christmas haha. Still would appreciate a reply from someone on my question about purchasing a first mill though lol. Thanks!
Sebastien Bolle ....Here was my comment and description of what I do. I left this on the clutch repair video a couple days ago hoping to get a reply. Sorry it’s long, but I knew I would get a reply like yours at some point. Thank you. “Ok. I’ve been watching your videos now for quite some time and just cannot get enough. For a hobby (well and some money of course) I build forced induction race engines of all varieties, but mainly for snowmobiles, sideXsides and high performance sand cars (a lot of Subaru, Honda 3.5s and of course GM small blocks) right now. After seeing this video of the cool little parts I could be making to help me with that and a million other things, it is finally time to buy a mill. I do have a 48”x48” cnc 3 axis router that I use mainly to cut parts from flat carbon fiber sheets I produce, but have zero experience with mills or lathes. I don’t want to spend an absolute fortune on my first one, but money really isn’t an issue (would like to keep it under 50k ish for the first one). Definitely would like a manual mill (I’ve seen some that are both lathe and mill?), but can see that the auto feeds and DRO is a must Most of the pieces I would make would be smaller than 24” long and maybe 12-16” tall. I certainly have been doing my research and will continue to do so, but any direction or places to start looking would be greatly appreciated. I am very technical and mechanical savvy so I understand all of this, but really no experience on anything other than the router which I use solid works to design my work. Thank you in advance, I truly appreciate anyone’s input they may have and are kind enough to offer. Hate to hijack the comments, but I thought with the talent here it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Keep up the good work Adam! Thanks again!”
Sebastien Bolle....And if I have to spend 100k to get something I can “grow in to” then that is perfectly fine. I want some thing nice and that is quite capable, even though it is only my first one. Cost is really my least concern, but don’t need to overdo it just because. Thank you!
How about bring in the tail stock in with a big live center mated up to the hole that you want to be sized and then bring the jaws of the chuck to the piece. It would give you a good starting point
And that is a great example of why there will always be a need for manual machinists. I thoroughly enjoyed it, now I can watch part 2. How come you never use an inside mic?
Nice work on boring that tool holder out. Looks like it cut nice and clean and should work very well for them. 'm feeling lucky that the one time I needed to bore out a holder like that it at least fit the machine and I didn't have to do extra work. Felt weird running the boring bar from the spindle though. Hope you are well! - Tom Z
nice to see the guard was still on your grinder the number of times i have seen people on youtube and some tv shows that use grinders with the guard removed disappointing if someone did that where i work they would be sacked
I’ve hit ‘pause’ on the DVR more times than I can count and said ‘what’s wrong with this picture’ for just exactly that! You’d think that the legal department at these cable TV channels would have something to say about it...
i llove to watch you videos because it`s just looks so cool when some very skilled person do something he clearly enjoy. keep good videos coming. i just put the notification bell on and i do not do that every channel, but i want to see your videos right away you put them on youtube. good luck and greetings from finland. keep up tthe good work . just for curiosity if you want can you make example 4 cylinder motor nad all parts that belong to from scrats? is it even possible?
Instead measuring the initial positions of the jaws I just use the tail stock with a drill chuck or live center (depending on the hole diameter) to lightly press the part against the back of the 4-jaw chuck and then carefully tighten each jaw so that they just touch the part. Then you are fairly close to centered and can start indicating and adjust.
Love your videos. I'm not a seasoned machinist but enjoy watching you and all your compadres... Question: could a long, many-stepped and tapered rod (e.g., .5" > 2") be created by you to use in your tailstock to more quickly rough align offset bored jobs like this?... just keep visualizing how a quick insert, mounting and push into the jaw plane would save much time...
Thanks for another good one. I wonder if you could center the 1.75 bore 'roughly' by pushing it against the chuck face with a bull nose center and adjust the 4 chuck jaws to it? "
Great video Adam seeing all types of tooling (indexable shaper bars included) the block mounted tool could be adapted to a say cheap four way like the diamond tool holder, ifanger, i like the ITM I think it is upside down turning tool that produces a chip that gravity takes it away from your watch pinion size part. But when you can adjust tool tip hight each station at that four way could have ten different tools that could go there the swiss type stuff is worth time figuring out and wow that block is cast iron ya the shure shot and a paper towel rub some way oil on there. funny thing is I'm making ER 16 blocks that interchange In one station for thre different boring, threading ,reverse internal threading , revese internal boring bars got one collet set need two more ER nuts got a dro on my lathe so setting that 8 Deg taper's no sweat carving them out of old SBC crank throws you can buy a new cast steel crank cheaper than you can get one ground aint supply and demand great!
09:30 "Keep working it. Before you know it, your there." Ain't that the story of Life itself. ( I feel a sense of calm when Adam premieres some new content. I know that services are about to begin.) I have found myself perusing online auction houses for "Bridgeport Mills" and "Monarch Lathes" There isn't a snowball chance in the thermal after-life of me ever acquiring one. But a man can dream, can't he? (Actually my friend's Dad died who was the man from Texas Instruments who hand delivered the first smart bomb circuit board to a GreyHound bus driver in Texas to go to Los Angeles and be put on a plane to Vietnam for installation in the very first operational 'smart' bomb. The driver tucked it underneath his seat and made the delivery. The man had a little trailer grafted onto his house in the pecan bottoms of the Brazos River filled with his shop stuff including a Harbor freight lathe and mill. I may in the last few years of my life try to 'make some chips'.) He invented "The Cypert Minnow".
God gave You the gift of teaching Adam, you explain the setup in a way that makes it easy for anybody to learn, keep up the great work, You are a true master of the machining art.!!!
I have suggested more than once that he should teach at a junior college, as he possesses the knowledge and temperament to do so,
Out of high school I became an automotive machinists apprentice, I learned a lot from a few great teachers... but Adam, I have learned so much more watching your videos. Thank you for being a great teacher, entertainer, and just a bad ass professional who loves what they do. Cheers from the great white north.
Ive been subbed for a few years now but I still find it so satisfying watching Abom truing up a workpiece in the jaws. Something about it is so satisfying yet its the same process for every job on the lathe. The more intricate the workpiece the better lol
An Indicating video!!!!!!! Thank you Adam:) Adam working with an offset in his 4 jaw chuck: It's within half a thou there so we will move back to the bore to indicate. Me on a wood lathe: It's still in the lathe although it is trying to walk out the door...contact!

That shock face, I can't unsee! Poor wee tool holder
😮
I'm just glad I didn't see it because you all sound like fools talking about this 🤣
Indicating makes it look like it's at the dentist. ROFL
Thank you Mr. Booth! Much respect and appreciation for seeing these productions that help me conceive ways to problem solve similar issues. So much in the way of principles!
Always a pleasure to watch you work, so gratifying especially when the smoker is going. :)

Getting it that straight off the bat would be a one in a thousand event for me. Well done Adam!
Your videos are so consistently good that I just hit the like button before the video starts. Great work!
old machine building parts for CNC got to love it

It was so satisfying to me watching you zero the indicator on that bore in real time :)
I always enjoy the picture of you your father and your grandfather at the end of each video.
Part looks surprised
I was thinking it looked excited
All I'm saying is 😮
I was going to say the same. Just waiting for the expression change when it's opened up for the tool holder.
That's just how its face looks. Its actually bored.
It's amusing how humans find human faces in inanimate things.
Adam, your videos have been getting better and better over time, especially in the last few months. Excellent commentary and camerawork!
I have never seen someone bring a part into alignment on a lathe as fast as you do. Wow.
hello adam, i love watching you align the workpieces with the indicator. I could do it all day :).
great discussion/demonstration....the video shot back toward the entry of the shop was the most enjoyable for me as I remember years past....
Adam,
Your customer wanted to avoid breaking down his production set up, but the best procedure would be to rough bore the tool holder hole and finish bore on the actual CNC lathe after the turret is properly aligned. This way the tool holder bore is the made by the actual machine that it will be used on.
That bore would be a perfect candidate for honing to size after boring. Nice work have a great day.

I consider that Monarch lathe restore series Mr. Rucker made, some of the best stuff I watched on TH-cam.
The_Hate_Inside I agree. I also like the plainer restoration except 6 episodes of scraping. I’ve been watching him for years and he’s put out some great content. It just seems there is more talking these days instead of machining or restoration.
Great job, I enjoy watching people that take pride in their work!
20:11 - A man with one metrology method knows the ID, a man with two is never sure ;) Love your work Adam!

Adam I believe that your Grandpapa and Dad would be very proud of you today.
He's down a perfect balance of new school additions yet keeping the older methods relevant and just as good.
A piece of equipment operating that quiet, Amazing.
I surely like this attachment you fitted on the dial indicator.
I'm gonna have to copy that!
4:00 Another quick way to get ofset part like that centred in the 4-Jaw ... is to simply chuck them in the Tail Stock (how ever there a dozen methods) ... run the part up to the four jaw and grip it ... gets you with in .030" or somtimes MUCH closer ... first try! :)
Another precision piece by the metal master!
nice job. its great to have a machine with a rigid setup to take that last fine cut.
Good to see some ol fashion abom indicating on the 4-jaw! especially on an odd sized part like that! Enjoy watching that just as much as seeing the chips fly! lol
The block looked like it was screaming.
Smooth operator = Abom.
Materclass on how units don't matter if you can convert👍👍 take the dimensions you're given, convert them if needed to your tooling and instruments
5:00 would it be helpful to chuck up a piece of round in the tailstock that closely matches the hole in the block, and then slip the block over that round, and then close the jaws over the block to give yourself a quick center starting point? thanks for another great video i always learn something.

Assuming that the front and back face are parallel, perhaps.
@@vinny142 Abom's already assuming the bore is perpendicular to the face, so why not?

Thank you Adam I always enjoy watching your videos I am from South Africa
Looks like the clutch springs were a good fix
I always appreciate your attention to detail
I think this is the first video I have watched where the dimensions were all metric !
Uh, everything in **this** video was Imperial. The work on the mill will be to metric specs, but no doubt he will convert those to Imperial, since that is how his machines, mics, indicators and brains work.
Imperium strikes back 😀
Very nice to watch and learning lots of stuff!!
You set a very high standard.
Excellent work as usual Adam, always a joy to watch you work!
I got the same Insize caliper you're using Adam. I actually like their measuring tools alot. Good quality for a reasonable price.
Making parts for a CNC machine... priceless!
@Pete -More like modifying. Adam and others like him are where you go for things like this.
Your attention to precise details is impressive..
Do you ever have to machine parts to tolerances under a thousandths..
@Cr0Lar Yeah, CNC is geared towards high production. When you do a lot of one-off's, manual is the way to go.
I enjoy how you reference that mic as "Grand Dads Mic". It's difficult for me to call the great tools I inherited as "mine". They will always be "my Grandfathers"!
This is my Grandfather's ball-peen hammer.
I had to replace the head once, and it is on the second handle - but I still consider it Grand Dad's old hammer.
Adam; another excellent video and example of practical application of mathematics! Thanks amigo
Have done this a few times but always using CNC machinery. Awesome work.
Was so excited to see two vids in one night! Just like Christmas haha. Still would appreciate a reply from someone on my question about purchasing a first mill though lol. Thanks!
Depends what you’re doing, your budget, location.
A Burke Millrite is a nice 3/4 size “hobby mill”, and can have a Bridgeport head swapped onto it.

Super video Adam. - Big fan in Huntsville.
Great work Adam. Thank you for sharing.
A wonderful precision fit. Top class
that makes me feel good , thanks sir !
How about bring in the tail stock in with a big live center mated up to the hole that you want to be sized and then bring the jaws of the chuck to the piece. It would give you a good starting point
As always, Great Job and video, Very Nice
You take care of your tools and they will take care of you!
Great vid. I was hoping you would say something about how nice it is to have a smoothly working clutch on the Monarch, though.
Editing error on the introduction, says sns 206, Great video as always Adam👌
3:23 I think the part realize what's coming, judging by its face... :-o
I just wandered if this video was taken after the clutch rebuild. it just seemed to be running so smoooooooth.
And that is a great example of why there will always be a need for manual machinists. I thoroughly enjoyed it, now I can watch part 2. How come you never use an inside mic?

I love that starrett 670 attachment. I am seriously thinking about getting one for my Mitutoyo plunge indicator.
That poor tool block looks terrified when he is talking about the upcoming surgery:(

Whenever you bring out the air to blow out parts I see Mr Pete in my head just giving a big sigh. :)

Then you are fairly close to centered and can start indicating and adjust.
Yes if you have a bull nose center it should be very close.
In this case he couldn't sit the piece on the face of the chuck because the key was preventing that.
@@aj7utu Exactly! And very quick.
@@jonka1 That's easily solved with a short piece of flat bar as a shim for the chuck jaw.

Whhhhat.
Always remember, punctuation is your friend.
Typing on a phone. Rough read.
Awesome work love the channel. Could you have machined a rod the size of the ID and chucked that into the tail stock to aid in set up?
or just flat against the chuck face and a big live center or the tapered end of a chuck in the bore
Adam, with such a close fit, does it matter if the part was hot from machining, or, will it fit just as good upon cooling?
Thanks Adam good content like see the machining !!!!!
Nice lathe work Adam..
👍Part 1 job done.
God bless
