- Updated better method here: • How to Drill Square Ho...
Make your own homemade broaching tool for "drilling" perfectly square holes in steel.
In this case we are using it as a tool holder on a milling machine slotting attachment.
Long term projects here: / ave
Such a nice, relaxed and well spoken man. I hope he makes it big doing more of these interesting tool videos.
Holy shit he's talking like a normal person!
MrAwawe I know! it's amazing!
Ikr
MrAwawe had a bad day I guess
I like to believe that from the other replies to this video, this is the video where he finally lost it
His voice is so much deeper now
Man it’s crazy to see the difference in your channel from then to now. We’re so proud of you; you’re all grown up now.
Nope. He is pretending now for views.
@@sinamos3945 you don't reckon you'd put a little pizzazz on it too if you had a nice audience? I probably would...
Not sure who this guy is but what did he stick in a vice
Welcome to AvE, be polite and enjoy. He is awesome.
He used a hollow socket to push the broach through without hitting the other side of the vice. Is that what you're asking?
@@BrassBashers No it was a joke about his more recent videos where at the end of them he always suggests you keep a certain part of your anatomy in a vice.
🐓
This technique has been kept quiet for too long. I'm glad somebody finally broached the subject.
Holy crap, I nearly choked on my coffee when I read that comment. Good one!
4 years later this is the best comment in the history of youtube.
@Travis Thacker tongue
Dont you mean a-broached the subject
@John Doe
Wiki - "Broaching is a machining process that uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material. There are two main types of broaching: linear and rotary. In linear broaching, which is the more common process, the broach is run linearly against a surface of the workpiece to effect the cut."
Merriam-Webster - Broach is "to open up (a subject) for discussion"
They used the homophone "broach" as a pun.
Wiki - "The pun, also called paronomasia, is a form of word play that exploits multiple meanings of a term, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect."
That's why it's funny.
This can’t be the same guy.
It isn't, this is AvE from 6 years ago
He must've gotten married. That's what marriage does to ya. First I wanted to marry wife 16 years ago, now I just want to push her down the stairs 😆.
maybe HIGH VOLTAGE got him.
He had to grow into the channel.
Exactly what I was thinking! Wow
Somehow, AvE talking like a normal person is weirder than the episode I just came from where he's machining a potato.
Same vijao I just came from!
I used to do metal work before my accident that disabled me. I have to say that your videos are some of my favorite videos to watch, thanks man.
what happened?
He became physically disabled @@meoffjack
"Summer Teeth". I love this guy because he's always teaching me the fandango slango.
n8binus some are here, some are there 🤣
That’s the only reason to subscribe, and get the video in your feed, a few years later
I heard that I'm thinkin summer teeth! I'm guessing explosion reaction of steel bits fracturing off flying in all directions cracking or chipping teeth, hence allowing for airflow even maybe a whistle, but I've never heard that expression before.
2:23 "I'm a little short on patience today" - yeah, we saw that when you ran that drill into the metal, like there's no tomorrow.. lol :D
LMAOO😂😂😂
Im done
A taste of the AvE in vijayos to come.
Yea, really! I'm an old school manual machinist who evolved with technology and I must say, I cringed the whole time that drill was running!!
ah, so there shouldn't be smoke?
U guys new to machining ?
I already had a brooch borrowed from my grandma with a nice figure of a cat like animal on it. It did not produce acceptable results and Grandma was not happy either. Please be more specific with instruction before condemning your viewers to distressing and difficult situations.
(Great video really)
*****
*chuckles* He's referring to a broach in terms of jewelery. Not machining.
I was using a rotary tool, i feel like a tool now.. I owe you years of education watching these videos. God bless 🙏 and, thank you for making learning interesting!
You're the Bob Ross of metalworking.
I'm pretty sure I couldn't replicate anything you're doing but it sure makes me feel good about myself.
I love your videos man. Thanks for showing us how to do seemingly complicated things with everyday tools! As my grandfather said "It ain't rocket science... well, unless it's rocket science."
Voice sounds way different from now. Also less schtick. :)
Funny what a mere 7 years does to one's voice AND personality on camera!!! He'd have made 5 minutes of silliness by now...... I'm really glad he loosened up a bit......
The stick up the butt Ave isn't nearly as much fun to watch then as he is now!!! MUST be PRE Chickadee!!!
We need more schtick!
So much different!
Wow. No kidding.
Puberty
Wow. I saw this 7 years ago, watched it again today. It reminded me why I started watching. Amazingly, he didn’t end the video with “keep your stick on the ice” like I was expecting! Of course, the “new” end phrase will forever be expected from now until the earth stops circling the sun! The fact that he literally used a vice in this video really left me wanting to hear the send off phrase!
When I was 18, in 1978, I got a job at a small 30 person manufacturing plant, (there used to be a lot of those), one day a month I needed to broach a couple hundred parts, we used an arbor press with about a 2 ft. long handle on it.
It was hard as hell to force that broach through, I started with the handle almost straight up, a little forward of TDC, I had to hang onto the handle, and let my legs drop out from under me, it took all my 180 lbs. to get that broach moving, that was the easy part, because that was only about halfway through, keeping the handle going to get the broach the rest of the way through was the hard part, it was a hell of a workout, and I'd be covered in oil.
I'm sure there is a machine doing that now.
you just needed the proper size arbor press.
@@stevewatts8642 A hydraulic press would have made it real easy, I used what they told me to use.
Such a well mannered and refined gentleman. I look forward to seeing more.
I read that and laughed like a bastard. BUT.., then I realized that the other side would be you've never seen his newer vijayos. I'm still laughing
This must be the baby Yoda version of AvE.
this would be pre-release-of-schmoo
Holy cow. Last summer I bought a bucket full of tools for $10. It had a bunch of them weird tools. Now I know it's a broach. Things are lookin up for me. The stars are lining up. 🌟 🌟
Try rounding out the bottom of the broach to fit your starting hole diameter. Then cut your relief cuts. The broach will start round, as does the hole, then works itself into a square. No file work that way. You would have to make the broach longer with a longer tapper, but it works. Just sharing...nice work here, well done.
I don't know why people are complaining. He said at the beginning there were other ways to do it. Some of us live a ways from the store, don't want to wait for an online purchase to come or just like making our own tools. I liked it.
Thanks for this. I've been learning hobby level machining and your channel is a treasure trove of knowledge.
This is really cool. I’ve been working in machining for 20 years, I’ve heard of broaching, but never actually saw it in action
I’m sure the industrial version of this is basically the same concept
What have you been doing all that while, machining carrots?
Could u please do a video on skinning cats ?
Yes- with the bradford!
Matthew Shannon lol 2019 squad
I can donate the cat but someone else needs to provide the BBQ sauce.
i prefer compressed air, its hilarious...
It never works out well for the cat. Just saying.
If anyone of you out there have actually done broaching, you would realize that this is a nice demo of what you can accomplish if you have to.
"But I don't have any special tools" well what a long way have we come
I like the broaching. I used to not own a shop press. I was able to straighten out the acme thread on my big, heavy 6" vise after using it for a press. Now I own a press.
Pretty square holes can indeed be drilled. They used the method to drill the holes in the plates that railroad spikes go through. The 2 flute drill would go into a floating type ring which allowed the drill to walk around and drill the square hole.
Like a totally different guy. The metamorphosis is astounding.
I'd have to say his drilling is fine. It's fast, clean, no spaghetti and by the looks of it there is some kind of lube going on there. The smoke coming from the chips indicates al lot of the heat is transferred to them, not in to the drillbit. Also, the chips are not blue, indicating that it's not overheating anywhere. Drillbit looks fine too. Lastly, the reciprocating drilling technique he's using prevents te drillbit from overheating or re-grinding of the chips in the drill hole. All in all, a fine job, Sir.
Ya know... I like this calmer, quieter AvE better than the bang-off-the-walls version of today. Upvote.
What's with all these ignorant Joe handymen that are so confident in telling a machinist how to drill a hole properly? You people wouldn't know how to calculate the ideal RPM even if you knew what the drill bit and material were. In this application a carbide drill bit shouldn't use coolant and should turn at 2-3K RPM. There's no chatter and it's making good chips but you never saw chips smoke in your high school shop so the professional must be wrong.
man, I didn't know this was you.. I watched this a while ago.. I am a shade tree mechanic and now I cant stop watching your videos.. great job!!
I want to see his next video on drill bit sharpening. I enjoyed his last video, on adding a turbo charger to a drill press.
***** I'm pretty sure Gary Mayo is referring to the fact that you're running the drill press WAY too fast for a 3/8" hole in steel. Sign of an amateur.
jeralieva I was impressed with how fast he drilled that hole, I was going to ask what speed he drilled at lol.
This is the first AVE vijeo ever I saw. Takes me back!
I can actually understand him here.
I love the older videos. AvE please put them back up.
Wow. Two years ago. Before the Chooch Era.
Indeed did he have a stroke shortly after this video XD
Its interesting, you can study the old comments to figure out when the Chooch Era started. Like some kind of TH-cam archaeologist.
Before the coof era
@Cameron Roughly 2015-2016
I needed a square hole and followed your video and it came out perfect. I torched my home made broach for the last four passes and it was the right size. Thanks, Norman
I can actually smell that metal when you drilled it.
Thank you. I needed to do this and was dreading the job. You made me have confidence to start and finish the job. Home made custom tools for the win!!!
actually he does start to come alive once he actually inserts his tool
Great Video. I will remember this and use it. I already have a task at had for it. I have to admit that reading some of the comments below made me realize just how far our society has slipped. There are some people who can't get the job done because they are overly caught up in the process. Great job, really liked the video.
Astroglide was developed originally for cooling and lubricating on the space shuttle.
A nice trip memory lane...”back when it was only AvE and his mom watching.”
It's 2019
No one:
TH-cam: Time to promote a video from 2013!
lol yeah, I follow AvE and I never seen this video till it popped up in my suggested video list today
I'm actually here because I was searching to cut a rectangular hole through metal. I'm familiar with AVE though but this was kinda surprising.
@@deadbambi, same, only it popped up a half hour ago for me. We’re heading into the ass end of 2020 now.
For many years I thought that when we need to remove a rusty bolt I had to heat up the bolt it self ,but 2 months ago I just realized that I was doing wrong. But what really need to expand is the reciver. Not the other way around, since them I've stop brake things and retreat as well.
One of the things I like about square files is how they're tapered to allow you to get those straight edges in square holes.
Assuming you're working with mild steel, judging by the thickness, if you marked it out on both sides and filed it, the job would have taken 20-30 minutes. Making the broach and then using it probably took a couple of hours at least. But now you have a broach, that doesn't seem to work very well...!;)
But hey, I'm the guy who took three days to straighten a Ford Mondeo suspension arm (that some bastard mechanic had bent) using a combination of blocks, levers and vices, two straight edges, a homemade hardwood jig, blocks of wood, a jack and a fucking huge hammer!;))).
Saved over £1,000 in parts and labour.
Wow people criticizing over the speed of the drill, I have a small Rockwell delta that does not run slow enough for a 3/8 drill myself, I use oil and know I'm not gonna get a lot of life outta the drill, so what, ya work with what ya got...this was a nice little video and I appreciated it
Great video man, keep up the good work. Cant believe there are dislikes on this, idiots are everywhere...
Really nice of the state of Michigan to sponsor him! I'm sure it won't effect his later videos.
It’s amazing to hear how subdued our beloved AvE was early on compared to now 😂
ignore all the dislikes man. you explained how to broach a square hole nice and clear. cheers
Ah, this must have been from the years before AvE discovered the secret about where to keep his stick.
Lol the contrast between this and your newer videos is huge, thanks for adding the comedy over the years
This was the first ave vid i watched
What a well-mannered gentleman
So... has anyone broached the subject of putting a square peg into a round hole yet?
:D
Crazy this is the same channel. Glad you loosened up and have more fun being a character. Good on ya mate!
Thank you for this instructive video. I have two questions, though: what type of steel was your workpiece made of, and, in particular, what type and hardness of steel was the piece you made the broach with?
+AvE Says m2 right on the bar. Were you drunk? I am.
This videos has such great memories for me. First broaching video never even heard of it prior. More importantly 1AvE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
excellent video, and the comments are priceless.
You son make me proud that I aced grade ten You have all of my RESPECT . I built dozens of Aluminum go cart wheels . Still have got 1 .
Square peg in a round whole !
I have always been a super fan for many sun cycles.I have learned lots of what to do and what not to do.. I usually watch on my gamestations app which has no comment capabilities. From my sprocket making days to gun drilling days... Respect to you the angry pixies, and mountains of chips you have carved out ..Thank you for many years of entertainment and to many more. Im great at deep cleaning a Haas if you know any sludgy machines. and folks never lend out the refractometer ..its a good way to get pinkeye
The simple ways always workBest John
Gotten a little more swagger since this video was made. Always enjoyable!
2:54 Thank you for the good laugh I had looking up the definition of "summer teeth" on urban dictionary.
Very creative Sir. I've ordered many really expensive broaches over the years. I have a modern machine shop and heat treat oven. I don't think I'll buy another broach again after seeing this.
“A bit of astroglide” Hahahah
Definitely like the ability to make our own tools with what we already have laying around versus spending the time and gas money locating a quality tool in our local area or having to wait for it to be shipped to us.
why did you soften the broach for the cleaning pass heating it. why did it help
The idea behind heating the broach is that the tool will expand as its heated, therefore it will slightly enlarge the hole as its pressed thru a second time.
So many thanks for your really interesting video, broaching I have seen advertised but never knew what it was, thanks again!
Take a shot every time he says broach.
+Riftkin That what I was thinking
thinking the same here
You guys are alcoholics
+AceandDuce HAHA
+Riftkin im not the only one
I thought you were joking at first. Then I picked up on the genuine teaching tone.
Critics are like the colon, full of fecal matter. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism when one points out improvements, but my respect always goes to the guy/gal actually doing something. It can always be improved upon.
Or 'how to fit a square peg into a round hole'.
critics know how to sniff out bad eggs...but not how to lay good ones!
o how young you sound. its been a great how ever long. thanks for the hard work.
Is this before he became skookum as frig?
thanks AvE for scoping it out,great job.
Hopefully this won't be repeated again...needless lost lives.. from Stupid decisions and actions by others.
i wonder how fast a reticulating saw with a file rigged to it would work.
chris11sholtz I like that idea.
Pretty fast but it would also ruin the file faster
You cant file HSS, the work-piece is harder than the tool.
You can buy reciprocating air files
Flying lead ever bought a bastard file before?
So funny how different you sound nowadays. Much more fun to watch now.
When I need to cut circles,I use a circular saw....
I usually just watch these videos for easy entertainment, but this is just goddamn impressive
"Without any special tools"
Immediately picks up special tool
Lol made with nothing but special tools. I died when I saw the torch come out hahaha. I'll just take it to a machine shop that's cheaper than a bench vice, drill press, and oxyacetaline torch. Bruh....
Nathan Spain not particularly special. ever heard of a propane torch?
Russ Hanneman It was only special tools to you, completely standard to me! A Phillips screw driver may not be special to you but it will be to someone who doesn't have one! What he meant which is obvious to people like me is that it doesn't require special tools like a lathe and rotary broach which is how you actually drill a square hole in seconds with no effort but the equipment cost is very high!
Um, @Russ Hanneman...These are very basic tools to work with metal. You're not changing a wiper blade for Pete's sake. OK, with enough patience you probably could do it with a hack saw, metal file and hammer and vice grips, but you'd hate yourself for it and the results wouldn't be nearly as clean.
"You didn't have to buy any extra tools", but I have to because I don't have that special tool in handy right now.
Thank you for broaching this subject.
Is this the same guy? Well it's 8 years old so...
Damn dude i just came across this video and i was like who in the hell is this!? it doesn’t even seem like its you! You’re videos have came a long way, but have always been helpful!
Isn't it obvious? You just have to use a square drill bit!
Very good tip! Thanks for the humor and the know how. I can see this could be used to hold a carriage bolt too.
So much change in only three years...
Just watched a video about a new drill bit that drills perfectly square holes. Then google recommends I watch this, I'll take the drill bit version lol
I am not criticizing this video as you are showing people a method of doing things.
I am a qualified tool and die maker, and I think it would have been quicker to file it though I understand patience is not everyone's strong point
Back in the day prior to spark erosion...most dies were filed by hand, and it is truly amazing how good one can become at it with practice.
Totally agree. Filing is completely underestimated.
you sir are a gentleman of distinction,
nice. i always did it the hard way. what you helped me figure out was the tapering.
i have a broach that i use to scratch my balls when they're itchy, i made it myself.
"Now Jimmy, what did you learn today?""I just learned how to make a square hole, mummy". Now that was a nice technique. Keep pumping out these vids. I can't get enough. Peace.
I have never seen a more deceptive video title. "How to drill a square hole with no special tools" literally starts with "Well, it's not really drilling and you need this special tool."
I always wanted to try to make a broach. Great video . I don't know why anyone would have a negative comment?
I read the comments and the person who asked about the triangle is correct. there is such a thing as a square hole drill that is three sided. Probably the broaching method is better but 3 sided square hole drills do exist. I completed a 4 apprenticeship and was a journeyman machinist and a manufacturing engineer for the government and a major corporation.
I think some people are just missing the point completely.
Still an awesome video 8 years in the future. I love your work man. Also, it's amazing hearing AvE without the characteristic AvE slang and style. Sounds adorable compared to the Canadian grizzly bear what goes around putting Hazard Fraught and dear John to shame today.
