Making a Knurling Tool for the Lathe (Narrated)

- In this video i'm making a knurling tool for the lathe.
I needed to make a straight knurling for my „combination lock“ video on my main channel. I did use my friends knurling tool in a previous video, as it's good to have your own I decide to make one. I bought two straight knurling wheels and now I only need to make a holder for them to use it on the lathe.
The first thing I did was making a drawing of it with all the measurements and tolerances. Once I knew the dimensions of the finished part I could organize the material. As material I choose a heat treatable steel 36CrNiMo6 (1.6582). The good thing about this steel is you can't overheat it when hardening and ruin the hardening, as I'm just going to harden it with a blowtorch that's perfect. The piece was much bigger in the beginning than it actually needed to be, but that's no problem I'll just take a few cuts more and make some more chips. I got this part for free from my friend, so I was happy to get started. First, I turn the part to lenght on the lathe (120mm). Next I did mill it to it's dimension 20x25mm, once I had this done I took out the step 5x95mm. Then I milled the slot for the knurling wheel. Once I got that I only needed to make the hole for the pin and cut the thread which will hold the pin. After the machining I did the heat treatment. Heat it up to around 800°C (cherry), hold the temperature for a moment and quench the part in oil. After that I needed to temper it to take a bit of it's hardness and stress away. Because of the high temperatur of the quench the part turns black, but it won't stick properly and start to peel of. So I cleaned it all up with Scotch Brite and then I used the bluing liquid to give it a nice and even black finish. The final test worked very well. By the way, I didn't clamp the knurling tool 90° to the part, I clamped it at 91°. This way only the right edge of the wheel will cut to the final diameter, which gives it a much nicer finish.
I hope you like my work and the video.

i only came here for "I make new one" and wasn't disappointed
Haha, thank you
0:15 - HE SAID IT! HE SAID THE THING!!!
Aaaaaaaaa!!!!
Yesssss
My life is complete.
The preciousssss.
It isn't a My Mechanic's video without that
I still praise the day I found your channel in the depths of lockdown in a Melbourne winter! Thank you.
I almost lost is when you said “I make new one” the same way the text would appear on screen in most of your videos. You got the voice reveal out of the way, now it’s time to see that man behind this amazing work!
Thank you :-)
When he says ‘ I will make a new one ‘ you just know your about to get a masterclass in metal work.
Awesome to hear your voice! You sound like Dan from Switch & Lever.
Need to look up this guy, thank you
Yes!
It's nice to hear your voice :)
I'm glad you like it :-)
i agree, i like the way he explains what he is doing. I think he should voice over his videos in the future so we get to know why or how he is doing certain things !!

You need to narrate more videos
Fantastic video! Your spoken english is very clear and easy to understand. This style also allows for more information without taking up screen space, which is nice. Overall better video style in my opinion.
Thank you very much, appreciated :-)
I will forever read "I make a new one" in this voice from now on. Glorious.
I honestly didn't think I would watch a narrated version of this video after having enjoyed watching the text version. However, I did watch it and was totally surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It was kind of a different experience from the first one. Nicely done.
Thank you very much, i'm glad you like it
I work as a manual machinist and I can say without a doubt that this is one of the best machining channels on TH-cam. Keep up the good work!
Also the tool at 5:19 is called a dial indicator, probably other comments said that already but ya know :)
I respect people who can make their own tools. When you need it but can't buy it, make it.
Thank you very much
"I made a new one" is now my new ringtone.
Yep, I am a big, big fan. 😄
The narrated video was a very pleasant surprise. I loved to watch the additional details.
Keep the videos rolling! 👍
Woooooahhhhh I make a new one spoken! Legendary moment. Remember this video after 10 years when you are at 30 million subscribers and feel comfortable speaking and presenting in front of the camera 😉😊😊😊
ooo😍😍😍
😬😊
It was great to see you in action and hear you narrating. Very clear to understand and your slight swiss accent contributes to impart even more quality to your excellent work. And to think you went through all that trouble just to knurl a part for another video... a true perfectionist!! Thank you very much for another great video!!
I already liked the video in its customary format, but I love the narration as well. The personal touch of hearing your voice is very nice and I like to just turn it on as a background noise, somewhat like a podcast. I would certainly love to see (and hear) more of these in the future. Above all, I admire your precision and dedication to achieving a perfect result, not only in this video, but in every single one of them.
Thank you very much
Of all the restoration channels that I've been watch and follow, you with hand tool rescue are my favourites, I love your perfectionism and the care of detail, and that's great
So interesting to learn that the knurling process is pushing that shape into the metal rather than cutting it. Never knew!
How perfect?
Well... Let me just make the tool and I'll tell you....
O wow....... Despite its rainy season in Scotland the heat from that channel is melting my heart... Thank you a million! Much appreciated dear sir 🏴🇨🇭😊
Thank you so much for your videos. Your English is fantastic by the way. Such a talented person.
Thank you very much :-)
Spricht wie er arbeitet. Sauber und präziese. 👍👍👍
Haha, vielen dank
I could listen to you say “knurling wheel” and “I make new one” all night long!
The master creator has finally Spoken the legend has finally been fulfilled.
Nice to see and hear that you can speak freely without worrying about anithing. Great video btw😁👍
You speak English very well. Awesome video, as always!
Thank you :-)
"I make a new one" narrated! POGGERS
Amazing how the knurling tool works, I'd never have guessed this was the procedure - I always imagined that you'd have to sit with a tiny file and make each notch individually. I'm learning stuff.
No apology is necessary because your English is very good. I enjoy your videos. Thanks.
I feel like I'm watching How It's Made, but even better. You're my favorite channel :)
Thank you :-)
your English was better than i expected. I liked the narration, you provided appreciated additional details
Thank you very much
The device you don’t know the name of in English is a dial indicator.
Thanks
I’ve been searching on Haimer’s website for this tool, and according by their english section, it is called a “3D sensor”. But i guess that “dial indicator” is also correct.
I was thinking it was a pressure gauge(for hardness testing)
A dial indicator is supposed to have a probe that only moves by one direction, this is a 3D taster ;)
(sorry for my bad english)
Hey man, whatever puts your hole where it needs to be.
I can't even draw a straight line... he makes a drawing with measurements, and makes highlights on the video... you are absolute perfection.
It was great to see the additional details, I loved the explanation about how you do your measurements.
So nice to hear your voice! Next, tour shop with face reveal. :))
Thank you very much, i'm glad you like it :-)
@@mymechanicsinsights Oh wow! I got a comment from you! Now I am starstruck. ♥♥ Greetings from Puerto Rico. ; ))
A tour of the shop is a great idea! This guy is the Master. 😃
Just loop ‘I make new one’ over and over
Haha i can make a song after episode 100
"I hope you liked it." Yes I did. I liked it very much.
I'm glad to hear that, thank you
"I make a new one" *crowd freaks out*
You sound like DJ Bobo. I really like the swiss accent. Thats way beyond cool!
Awesome! thanks for making a “special audio edition” of this video, nice to hear how you sound 😁
😊👌
a Very clear and concise explanation of what you were doing. Nice video. Between you and Stefan Gotteswinter I am getting my dose of German English... I loved the video.
Reminds me of my Toolmaking younger days.... Those were fun days!
Thank you very much :-)
As an English speaker who also speaks German, your grammar and phrasing is especially charming because I often know exactly what German phrase you're translating directly into English: "Now I mill down the second side, that the edges of both surfaces hit each other." -> "Nun fräse ich die 2. Seite, sodass die Kanten einander treffen" or something like that (my German is not as good as your English.) Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for taking the time to make fantastic videos! The narration was great! 🙂
Thanks man
Fascinating. I don't know how you do it, but its fascinating to watch. Thanks man
Thanks for watching :-)
Thank you for the narration it really helps us laymans (noobs).
I always enjoy your vids no matter what your working on.
It's nice to hear you narrate this video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching
The device is called a "touching probe". Haimer refers it as a "3D Sensor", Regards from a fellow machinist who learns cnc at 53 years of age and enjoy your videos so much! And a tip if i may. Drilling with a carbide drill you get your hole only 0.05mm bigger so you can skip reaming ;)
Carbide drills drill very precise indeed, but too expensive for a home shop
When I was a child (in the US) I used to watch a German bicycle mechanic for hours. Your video was excellent. No problem understanding. Hope you make many more.
Carl
So you went through all this process in order do produce a tiny little detail on one of your projects? Hats off to you, my friend. That is dedication! You are truly inspiring!
This guy is an ISTP if I've ever seen one, so skilled!
You sir are the best restorer, so perfectional. Love your videos, and can't wait tell next video.
Thank you
The narrated version is awesome!
Thank you :-)
In awe of your attention to the minute details in the projects that you video. I enjoy them all. I consider you the best of the youtube restorers.
I love the narrated version. Your accent is the best
Thank you
Just discovered your awesome channels and your gobsmacking skills. You must not apologize for your English.... it is great. Thank you for sharing with us. It is wonderful to see how a true craftsman works.
i love the subtle swiss accent in your english, good job on the turning and the narrating!
Aaa... Voice on my mechanics... Aaaaa... :D ;) greetings from Poland :)
😊🖐
@@mymechanicsinsights 👍☺️
It's always nice to see ur content, talk or no talk, it's always surreal
You are so talented! I liked the explanations of why and how you were doing everything. And of course I loved hearing you say "I make a new one"!
Thank you
Very cool narrated version is awesome now we can hear " I make a new one" :D
Thank you very much
@@mymechanicsinsights You're very welcome :D
I like and appreciate your straightforward and succinct narrative.
You are a fine machinist. Really like watching and learning. I have watched every one of your videos. Looking forward to whatever else you bring back to a useful life making it better than new.
I just spent 12 minutes watching you make a knurling tool, which was fascinating, even though I have no idea what it is.
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for the narration. It really helps us follow along. And also showing your drawings and all the measuring that takes place. It's very enjoyable to me. Thanks again
Que gusto escucharlo. Imagino que algún dia podré verle la cara. Para mí es un maestro artesano y un artista con habilidades únicas.
2 My Mechanics channels?!?! OMG! Life just compounded!
I don't own a knurling tool. I don't need a knurling tool. But WOW this was fascinating to watch!!!! Well done!
I think this is a good format. I liked you narrating here, explaining not only what you were doing, but why you were doing it. That's a good idea when you're making an actual tool.
You should advertise this channel more on the main channel! I just found this by accident!
This is the first video I’ve heard you speak, nice to put a voice to the master
Great to hear you speak--thanks for all of the terrific content!
Really nice to finally hear a voice to go with these excellent videos. Your spoken English is excellent by the way. Thanks for all your effort in making these videos.
Thank you very much :-)
It is a pleasure to watch you work.
I 'm fascinated with the work you do and your attention to detail... even better with an explanation of what you're doing and why. Brilliant... please keep the videos coming!
I have grown watch everyday. Very enjoyable. You a truly a master of your many trades and abilities
it's great to hear your insights as you make parts. I wish your newer videos would have even half as much insight.
I really can't belive 've seen so much of your other video and not known of this channel. What great content.
I know I'm late to the party but I love your narrations. You're very clear and concise. It might not be for everyone but I like being able to focus on what you are doing rather than what you have written.
I appreciate the "step" on the bottom of the tool.
It’s fun to hear you explain the precision of the steps
Thanks, I'm glad you like it :-)
I really enjoy your quiet videos, but God there's a lot to learn listening to you explain it all. Thank you for both.
Absolutely love your videos!
It's between you and clickspring for greatest TH-cam machining videos. AvE is also amazing, but for different reasons.
Many thanks for this clip. I am just starting out with my home workshop and having just seen your film I know where I have been going wrong! And better spoken English than some who actually are English. I have now subscribed. I will learn a great deal from you thanks again.
Revealed. The voice behind the expertise! Great to hear you. :-)
I dig the explanatory statements here. But I also completely enjoy the style of your main channel. You do everything exactly how you want it, I'll enjoy what you share with the world.
Thanks mate!
Now I've got a voice to read the captions with; probably not much different to what I imagined. I liked the narration. Very good and nice job.
Fantastic!
Awesome. I love the FINE details
I like hearing him talk, I had to make this in first year engineering a very long time ago.
I'm glad you mentioned that knurling doesn't remove material
my professor always keeps mentioning that
Thats too cool! Awesome showing the important behind the scenes stuff.
Thanks red :-)
this channel is what lets me sleep at night.
You speak multiple languages that's awesome, great respect for that. And we got to here "I make a new one"! Day made.
Like the others here, i now know, when i watch your videos on your other channel, and i know your going to say it, i lways say ot out loud before it goes up on the screen, but now i know exactly what accent and tone to use!!!! Congratulations on the success of your channel . It truly deseves all of it and more, it is inspirational to say the least .
Great job, great video, great voice, great accent.
You really enjoy what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the explanatory narration!
Keep making your videos these new ones are amazing to better understand your process. Especially rust proofing.
I loved this video. It explained a lot of stuff which I didn't understand before. :)
Nice to hear that
your English is perfect. You speak it like a native! Really interesting to watch
Thank you very much
Love your swiss english!
Great job on that tool...nearly from scratch!
Excellent!
:-D
this guy is a master craftsman and I have nothing but respect for his work... but the homie sounds like Rolf
It is very good that you make this video showing that for what you do you have a plan with all the data and measurements, and so we realize that when you make a restoration, you do not do it from the imagination, you do it with a design project to work on with machines such as the lathe and the milling machine. apart from the fact that it is clearly seen that you are an expert in the handling of machines such as the lathe that makes very well made pieces and you complete yourself with the milling machine to make the most complicated pieces. that's correct i saw the video of the combination lock with that knurling mark
Really nice video. It's good to hear your voice, too. You get much more info across without distracting from the on-screen activity.
I'm glad you like it, thanks
It's nice to explain and give info during the process, great video!
Yes more narrated videos! It was very interesting to hear your thoughts and ideas :)
Very good! I thought your other videos were amazing but now since your talking an explaining more is even better thanks!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you
Amazing! Now I'll hear a voiceover "I make a new one" in my head every time I see it on the screen! hahaha
