For those of you that don't know, Mr. Crispin, won Keith Fenner's, "What's in Your Toolbox" back in 2016 or 17. Of all the winners over the years, Mr. Crispin is the ONLY winner to have made something of himself, or at least has taken the time to show what a young budding machinist can do. He is without a doubt a brilliant and committed young man! Congrats, Mr. Crispin!
Yep , Im a one of those 900 people.. :) TH-cam didnt even bother to recommend me your channel all these years, so thanks, Quinn, for a great recommendation! Mr. Crispin thank you for you time and effort you put in your videos - very nice and quality stuff!! Cheers! Phil.
Yep, me also. I've watched 5,000 plus vids on my other channel and have never been recommended Mr. Crispin. Luckily I've run across this channel with my knew TooManyTrades channel. Now I have to get over my on camera anxieties and make my own videos.
@@toomanytrades Me too. Thanks mate. I'm a retired old fart (geophysicist) but learning machining at home since I've got bugger all else to do. I've bought all new machinery and now, from you, I'm learning how to use it. I've always loved machining, my dad was a tool maker and I didn't get much chance to learn anything 'cause of uni etc. I'm basically starting from scratch and you are my teacher. Cheers and all the best.
Back in the early 80's I worked with an old machinist who was a bit grumpy but taught me a lot. He had the same shirt as you. Love the channel - thanks.
My respect for mr Crispin is absolute , he comes across as a genuine gentleman hugely clever and yet very straight talking down to earth a spade is a spade type of guy
The sound that the diamond lap made on the tool, I half expected some old time gramophone music to start playing. Thanks for the videos, I always enjoy learning something from them.
I inherited a machine shop from my dad. He taught me some mill and lathe basics but never taught me how to grind or sharpen lathe tool bits. Some of the products I make use his custom shaped cutting tools that are now dull & I’ve been been afraid I may ruin them while trying to sharpen them. Your videos are giving me the confidence to try. Thank you.
Mr. Crispin, you are an excellent instructor and you do a great job with videography and story telling. Thank you for all the work that goes into making these videos.
I have to say that it is so nice to see a master keep his mind open and learn from others. Your content is always educational and I must say that your video about getting a compound angle hole drilled through was excellent. Can't believe I just watched a wheel go round and round for 26 min! I have always used the freehand method since my cheap grinder rest is not sturdy enough to survive facing off. I have been watching your channel for a while though I just subscribed. It is so nice to see you credit Quinn too; she has her own quirky ways but it is very much fun to watch her projects.
As a clock tinkerer I learn from this post I need to get a Ting Tang clock for the workshop. I only have a Peatol/Taig lathe but much of your teaching has helped me Learn so much. Your diagrams are so clear, my light has come on, I understand!!!!! Thank you.
I learned about tool grinding an honing from my Father and you are like in many ways like him, all be it younger. Same info as well as a Working Mans Hands to the Tee. Under the fingernails with evidence of a person that Really does Work! Great info for those learning. John Australia.
Hi Crispin, Glad to see the grinder turned up in one piece and is working well after such a drawn out delay in the delivery from Australia. Looking forward to your detailed video on in, perhaps even I can learn something from your upcoming video. Stay safe in your new UK Virus Lockdown. Regards from Adelaide.
Your expertise is highly regarded Mr. Crispin I'm just an electrician that plays about with antique machine tools... What your doing is much more serious...🇬🇧👍
Thanks for sharing. My two cent are i watched a drill sharpening video and tried it out on some old broken drill bits. I tried drilling some hole and changed my angles of sharpening. Three days later wail working my boss broke a drill bit. We were 300 miles off shore and not a hardware store in sight. I took the chipped drill bit and sharpened it and finished the job. My boss had left to borrow a new one and by the time he got back i had finish, cleaned up, and put all the tools away. We took lunch.
The first rule of razor blade gauges is you don’t talk about razor blade gauges!!! The second rule of razor blade gauges is don’t let anyone see you using razor blade gauges!!! Boss: Wait!, that looks like? Is that a razor blade gauge! Me: nope!! It a box gutter gauge! It has a Handel.
I successfully ground my first HSS tool thanks to this video. Works beautifully and much better than anything I attempted before. Thanks for the time and great detail you put in to making this video!
Hi Mr. Crispin - I'm new to your channel, so greetings from Australia (Quinn sent me). Just wanted to credit you, being a young lad still & having such a great handle on your craft. With your grinder tool rest, if you put countersunk set screws at the back edge, you'll be able to adjust the angle easier & give it more stability. Also, any striations in your tool cutting edge will transfer into your workpiece, which can affect surface finishes and/ or stress risers or critical parts. Stay safe and well :)
Another helpful video- I am also one of the 900 and it looks like I’ve got a lot of catching up to do on your channel- fantastic content- looking forward to catching up on your video library
New subscriber here, having been sent by Quinn. I appreciate your approach to these kinds of topics. Already watching channels like Stefan's, yours is a great addition.
Thanks. I might have to start watching Stephen again, I like that little honing machine. You should give the top some amount of polish. It greatly helps chip removal, which has a huge affect on finish quality.
Watching these videos reminds me of my C&G training days. Excellent content and presentation. Love the quip not wearing your hat backwards for cool. Brilliant. Thank you MrCrispin.
A very clear and concise video, well paced, with a good blend of 'blackboard explanation' followed by an easy to follow practical demonstration. Many thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. Also great timing for me - I'm starting to experiment with HSS tooling after relying solely on carbide tipped tools for the first few years of my home shop machining 'career'. Regards Paul in NZ

Great video. I like your teaching style. In the comments below you mentioned that you machine gas turbine blades at Rolls-Royce. I used to be a production engineer at a gas turbine overhaul shop. I worked mostly on the Allison 501K engine. During my time there Rolls bought out Allison so I guess I worked on Rolls-Royce turbine blades as well. 'Worked on' may be a bit of a stretch, but I did look at thousands of them through a 10 power glass. Ken
Thanks Mr. Crispin. I’m new here, having seen a recommendation from Quinn, and I find I very much enjoy your teaching style. I look forward to viewing more of the channel. Cheers!
Good talk you gave there, and glad you learned about angled rests a great time saver. Two things to add, when sparks come over the top edge, you have ground up to the top edge. Second, to check angle rather than use a razor blade a bit of thick card works and is much less likely to cause a sticking plaster incident.
How I like your Deckel FP1 Mill. It is a true relic and is extremely accurate. Congratulations.. Como me gusta su fresadora Dekel FP1. es una verdadera reliquia y es extremadamente precisa. Felicitaciones.
Hi Mr. Crispin. Sadly, i enjoyed this video very much. I agree with you about the ability to grind freehand as it were. Years ago I used to grind freehand cutters for woodworking spindle moulders that used spindle blocks that are now deemed dangerous and no longer available. They were of course extremely dangerous if miss-used. Anyway, honing ones skills is always a good thing!! Thanks for your efforts and excellent content.
Operating spindle molders is not for the faint hearted and most definitely to be kept well apart from workers with sloppy practice. The dangers with them are almost always created by an operator who isn't fully switched on.
@@howardosborne8647 Absolutely. 100% concentration at all times. Unfortunately, a chap I worked with 25 years ago can testify as to the outcome of less than 100% attention. Lets just say he can only count up to 81/2 now!!!
Hi, what is the name of the textbook? Right now I'm very new to this and my teacher refuses to teach any theory and just start of right away in the workshop. Which is very difficult for me
@@daveticehurst4191 Yes and the radius but my analogy is in reference to honing one face and leaving one like a ploughed field off the grinding stone. Never as sharp nor as long lasting.
@@localele1 Right ho I am with your thinking now. Yes that’s quite true you could just be cutting with the equivalent of a needlepoint if the top is left in honed. Thanks for pointing that out. Regards from Australia.
for a hobby shop (and novices by the way) this method is the best. First off you learn about the angles and it works out a lot cheaper than breaking in on inserts. I have seen many guys who were trained on the exclusive use of inserts, and they actually have no clue about geometry and angling. This tells me they must be running through inserts like mad....
Excellent video and very well explained. Where some struggle is with use of underpowered 6inch bench grinders, often resulting in clogged and out-of-balance wheels. A stronger 8inch grinder is far more pleasurable to use.

Hello Mr. Crispin, I would suggest option one would be the one I would prefer to master. Once mastered I would feel confident to be able to grind a lathe tool on any grinder. Thank you for making the video. Take care Paul,,
Interesting Deckel joystick power feed control. I've got to try 45° milling on my machine by using 2 power feeds simultaneously. The machine itself is capable of power feeding all 3 axes simultaneously whether at cutting speed or at fast traverse. It will also allow me to put the feeds into reverse - so a reverse cutting feed followed by a fast traverse back to the start. I just need to get a source of 3 phase again !
The Deckel can move two axis at once at 45 degrees as you describe. There is no power feed on the z axis on this machine (z being in line with spindle). Thanks for your email I have received it and will read it in detail before getting back to you. Cheers
Hi Crispin. I hope you are well. I have just been trying to find out what the little Nub? centre stub? pip? is properly called, that is left after the parting off operation. You were the first person I thought of who would most likely know the answer.
I think stoning the top surface is useful because there will always be a slight burr on the unstoned surface which is fragile and could chip the edge if it breaks off. The top should be stoned FIRST though and the sides and front last. The stoning should be done from the edge down and away ONLY and not side to side as you did. This pulls any burr down and away from the edge. The side to side stoning could be used in initial shaping but should be followed with a down and away only stoning. Side to side can also be used as a last stoning if it is carefully done and with a very fine stone to give the ultimate shaving sharpness. - ALL of that is worth the bother only when you need to reliably shave off tenths at a time. For roughing and ordinary finishing work it is not really needed and such an edge is fragile in itself just because of its keen ness.
Honing the top rake surface reduces built up edge. I always try to hone the top surface with strokes parallel to the chip formation/flow, and the primary clearance and radius with horizontal strokes (following the perimeter of the cutting edge). This makes for the best surface quality and free cutting ability. PS: In scientific terms the chip to tool friction coefficient is used in the primary cutting force calculation as well as the heat generation calculation and honing the top surface reduces that friction coefficient.
Very informative. Is the cutting point on the top face "untouched" as you grind the rake on it? If your'e an amateur like me and make a mistake, can you just shim the height of the tool to get it to cut on centre?
I notice most video on tool grinding they never use 1/4" bits like I have to use on my little 7x12 lathe. Dang tools are just harder to see when you are old with one eye! 🧐
This is one of the best video's I've seen on sharpening, Great job... I do have one question, what are you using to stone the HSS bit? I just can't seem to fine the right kind and grit of stone which will do a good job.
@@MrCrispinEnterprises Ok Ok you got me. Actually I did look in Tim's locker, all I found was an empty box, well not quite empty, there was a small note that read "gone hunting". Ok down to business, I'm assuming your Norton India stone is fine grit? Thank you for your quick response....

I notice most video on tool grinding they never use 1/4" bits like I have to use on my little 7x12 lathe. Dang tools are just harder to see when you are old with one eye! 🧐
What grades of grinding wheel do you use?
This is one of the best video's I've seen on sharpening, Great job...
I do have one question, what are you using to stone the HSS bit? I just can't seem to fine the right kind and grit of stone which will do a good job.
You have to look in Tim's locker! Only joking, that one is a Norton India Square Stone.
@@MrCrispinEnterprises Ok Ok you got me. Actually I did look in Tim's locker, all I found was an empty box, well not quite empty, there was a small note that read "gone hunting". Ok down to business, I'm assuming your Norton India stone is fine grit? Thank you for your quick response....
Yes that one is a fine grit
Old school men come with skills. Kids now a days come with a box of insert holders and a box of insert catalogs(or rather they expect YOU to buy them insert holders and inserts).
