Hey Tony, I used to run lathes that would take big boring bars like that. Was in a brass factory in nz, 1.5 ton bushes from the foundry, we would clean them up to go to the cnc shop. The lathes were 6m long over 6 foot tall and max rpm of about 300. Was a fun job, used to fill 4 or 5 44 gal drums of chips a day!
My mother, who was a pioneer woman from NE Wyoming would be proud. She too ate the entire apple. No waste, no mess, and I could assume, there are apple trees growing today as a result of biological spreading of seeds by that great woman.
You're 100% right I think about video vs audio quality. A professionally lit, HD video with bad audio is unwatchable. A 244p video with good audio is still watchable.
Audio...meh. Video...meh. What really matters is the SCRIPT! (and the wisdom not to use background music). And that's what keeps me coming back, week after week. I'd watch this guy on a 1960 black-and-white TV with the video inverted, with the sound transmitted by shortwave radio.
Man I remember I had a ball turner once, let me tell you. Mine got real big too, and after a few years of almost daily use, sure enough her pivots went out and her arms got all loose. You couldn't keep her from chattering, loud and non stop. Even after that I kept her around and from time to time, in real rough situations, I'd rustle her up and put her back into action. But after awhile I just had to let her go. She eventually ended up with my cousin Sheldon. They've got a couple of kids, nice little place down by the lake. They do a lot of snowmobiling.
Hey Tony, RawGage here. Even though this video is older than my unborn child, I fully enjoyed the aimless banter. As I sat on my porch, sipping my scalding hot cup of black New England coffee, I found a bit of inspiration to comment on your... ah, “comments.” To get your limited edition DSLR (and by ‘limited’ I mean lacking addition features) camera to be viewable from a 6’+ height, a simple sturdy articulating arm with a mild steel clamp that mounts right to your tripod beneath your camera could hold a polished piece of flat stock chromoly; or just a regular ol’ mirror would work too. Any who, it was just a thought as I day dreamed of having this conversation with you as you made the shot and you gave me the flat-lined look of obvious discontent... and I just smiled back like some foolish anime hero that just saved the day! Thanks as always for putting up with my banter and please know I love the channel 😁👍
Those big boring bars are used quite often in oilfield machining. The head is dovetailed onto the large bar to facilitate changing from roughing, finishing and threading cemented carbide tool holders and not have to lift the whole kit and kaboodle out of the lathe and have 4 big bars laying about. OIL Country Tubular Goods (OTCG), I used them mostly to rework tool joint hangers. Love your channel. Thanks, Semper Fi.
I used them on horizontal lathes with an 18" spindle bore. I learned never to put back pressure on the traversing hand wheel when the half nut is engaged for threading. It jams the half nut and 3 foot chucks don't stop on a dime. CRASH!
Hey Tony, about twenty years ago I watched a guy doing a demo of that tangential tool holder and planed to buy one, until I seen they wanted almost a hundred dollars for it ! I looked it over good and then come home and made one, have been using it ever since. It's very easy to sharpen without doing a lot of angles, just lightly touch it to a six inch grinding wheel and it even gives you a slight concave. You do have great videos with great humor and I think it comes naturally ! Thanks for sharing and take care.
This Old Tony Don't know about the brain bending math, all I had at the time was a cheap machine, hacksaw, files, time and a lot of determination ! I've thought about looking for a " store bought " one a few times but it just somehow seems like it would be disrespect for the one thats been with me so long ! :-) Thanks
Try looking for old Brown & Sharpe screw machine tooling. TT tools are held in what's called a box tool. The amazing thing about TTs are the depth of cut and feed rate they can handle. They were designed for production long before carbide was common. They also can be made into form tools and multi-dia turning tools because you can cut the form along the entire length and only sharpen the end. The radius you put on the tool can be the whole length of the tool.
Hi Tony. I'm in my late 60's and fully agree with you about the importance of sound quality. Please folks, use directional mikes or better still lavaliers. Turn the background radio's off. Try and run cables away from electric motors and fluorescent lights to avoid electrical noise pick up. If you can afford it use balanced 'xlr' microphones, not the 3.5 mm jack style. The dslr style came audio pre amps are usually noisy as well and their microphones of very low quality. If possible use manual, not auto gain control - the pro's do, the same as with focus. I know it costs money and its good of 'makers' to post at any rate. But, you can drive up your viewing numbers by getting this stuff right! Bob.
Hahaha I have said the same about people eating whole apples are serial killers for years! Two people separated by several thousand miles come to the same conclusion what does that tell you...?

I used to do the whole apple thing when I was in marching band in HS. I always got up late for summer camp (which started at like eight in the morning, but I had to be there earlier), and so I would carry my breakfast with me onto the asphalt field. It was for a while the protein bars that come in the mylar packages, but I hated how hot and sweaty the package would get in my pocket if I couldn't find a trash can. So I started carrying an apple instead. But then I had to figure out what to do with the core when I was done. So I looked up what to do on Google, and found out that during the Depression people would commonly eat the whole thing from the bottom. If you do it that way you can't even really tell that you are eating the core, though it does change the taste a bit.
Hey Tony! I found your channel a few days ago and have been bingeing your videos since 😁. Love the content, really great stuff! I currently work maintenance in a steel mill. Dirty and amazing.
6 yrs late but your videos are therapy lol You are like the dude down the street that let me chill with him and make stuff in his garage, can always watch a TOT video for some nostalgia.
My dad is a turbine coordinator for AEP and the lathe they have in their central machine shop is about 100 feet long. If say that boring bar you saw would fit on that type of lathe. I've only seen it once and dad told me the company bought it in Texas (I'm in WV) and the shipping alone was over $2M and took 10 truckloads and over a month to move. They turn turbine shafts with it. It's amazing to see.
the dovetail on that huge boring bar is so the end that holds the carbide insert can be changed out depending on what style of insert that is needed. its also much cheaper to just change out the head of the boring bar if it wears out or gets crashed. thanks for the awesome videos!
Things like this are precisely why I love watching your channel. I had always assumed there was some sort of apparatus for turning ball stock and thanks to you I now know how to make one. I also have a decent idea as to how to make one of those tool holders which seems a little cheaper than buying inserts all the time. I got it in my head that I could clamp the stock for the holder at a 45° angle with an end mill and just cut a channel for the tool stock creating a nice notch for it. As for the clamping mech I can do the same but add a threaded hole for a grub screw to offset the clamping height for different sized tooling. A bolt down the middle into a threaded hole in the tool holder itself and we're in business. Thanks for the great video....
Scrap yards are always fun. Bought a 300+ lb. 29" diameter lathe face plate cheap. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it but..... It's pretty damn cool. Sure won't be a wall hanger though !
Doug Bourdo I'm looking for a beast like that to make a powered welding table (not like Abom's but his is a beauty). I see them for sale around the country but shipping is insane. If you're near NYC I'd be willing to take it off your hands if you decide not to use it.
I love these shoot and poops? Keep up the great work Tony, your sense of humour and seemingly endless wealth of knowledge are a perfect match for your uncanny ability to simplify things so the rest of us mere men can understand and even learn a few things.
I do all my TH-cam videos with my trusty old Nikon F Photomic FTN. Which probably goes a long way to explaining why my channel is not up yet. Developing the film, scanning each frame, manually assembling the frames into video, man, that's a lot of work!
Hi Tony, yet more joy and superb entertainment and education. You have now got me rewatching your work to catch the subliminal stuff. Kindest regards. Joe
I'm sure you probably know this already, but hopefully I blow your mind a little bit. Guess what happens when you use the same tool 90 degrees clockwise from the orientation you have it in the video? You get a vertical shear bit/tool as well. You can also do this with round HSS. Works great for ball turners.
Ok eating the apple core is a little bit weird, but the most distressing thing I ever saw in a movie was the scene in K-Pax where buddy there eats the entire *banana*.
I have always heard the Interapid indicator is designed to measure with the contact point held at an angle of 12° to the measuring surface. How about a video showing the errors at different tip angle using gauge blocks?
Yes! I actually did that and cut the parts out as the vid was close to 40 mins long. To compensate on an interapid at, say, 22*.. you'd subtract 12.. and only worry about the 10* difference.
BTW Interapid test indicators are calibrated to zero error at 12 degrees since most setups would interfere at zero degrees. Mitutoyo has an optional involute tip that is self correcting up to around 30 degrees. A few ways to skin that cat.
I had a good chuckle at the hip replacement line. I used to work for a casting/machining company and it's most profitable segment was "medical". Mostly hip and knee replacements, but all were metal, I believe high cobalt alloys.
I had a friend over for dinner once. A reenactment of the conversation: "What's that fruit?" "It's a pomegranate." "I've never had one of those." "Here you go. You can take it home with you." Instead of taking it home he just took a bite out of it right there. I'm sorry to say that I laughed. A lot. And that's the day I lost a friend, at least until he got me back with the... but I digress. So I would have invited you to dinner, but not until I have a grasp of your knowledge of fruit which has, to date, not come up in your videos.
Please, i'd LOVE to have you over for dinner. BTW, you almost single handedly got me into this world of machining. Bought me a small (read: way too small and filled with regrets) lathe and a small mill to see if it was fun. Well, I now make weekly trips to my local Metal Supermarket for cutoffs and my garage and whole house are filled with chips. Thank you sir. I truly appreciate it.
I appreciate all the work you put into these. I laugh with you as much as any of my favourite comedians. (there may also be some very interesting information for a new machinist such as myself)
If you and the miss (and the little ones even) are visiting Orlando Fl, this is an official invitation for a dinner and a tour of my shop - there I said it and no it's never too late :)
I've had times in my life when I ate an apple like that, not because I was hunting humans, but because I was damn hungry. Of course, I was at Parris Island in Human Hunting School at the time, so maybe you've got something there.
Total entertainment. Great to finally know what background you come from. Used to work in an aluminium rolling mill. Lot cleaner than a steel plant but just as fascinating.
I've got $20 on the "apple clue to the serial killer's identity" showing up in a Hollywood film before 2017 ends. I was entirely clueless about that twist coming, but it makes PERFECT SENSE.
Have an older Milwaukee drill here. Has worked great for years. A few notes on them: Li-Ion batts don't like being used ffffreezing cold. All of mine seem to loose capacity and torque. Get an XC battery. The stock ones don't like drilling through heavy steel. 1/2" hole through 1.5" steel and the stock batts soon became door stops or had much less capacity. The XC batts last far longer in heavy use and I can work a whole job with one. I picked up a NOS batt of ebay for a reasonable price.
that light on the end of the drill gun is a life saver, sometimes you forget to bring a flashlight and the drill gets you out of a bind, really incredible.
Actually ran into that the other day at work. Had to screw a hinge into the bottom of a shelf with an 8 inch beam. Not much light got in there, so the drill light made it a lot easier to line up the screws with the holes.
Only 3 years late, but that boring bar is off a large vertical lathe. We had one where I did my apprenticeship, it had a 36” chuck and dimmed the lights when you powered it up. It only took up as much real estate as our small lathe. Not an overly big machine really. I only ever remember it being used a handful of times but when you needed it, nothing else would come close.
I can see how folks like you working in a shop probably don't get much benefit from an LED on an drill... but for anyone doing construction work, they're great. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a game changer, but it often means getting the job done right away instead of having to stop and set up a work light. Especially with the newer designs where the LED stays on for a few seconds after you're done drilling. Anyway, I enjoy your channel. Thanks for making these videos!
Hey Tony, just to throw a spanner in your C ... err, so to speak, not all DTIs are designed to be used with the contact point at 0 degrees. Interapid for example are calibrated to measure correctly with the contact point at 12 degrees. PS that is the best looking apple I've ever seen. I would like to see more fruit on your channel.
Hi Tony that big boring bar that has the dove tailed head is a bar that takes various different insert heads so it is easy to change the small head at the front and not the whole 5 foot bar. cheers
I bought one of those Diamond tool holders about 20 years ago. Works great, but hard to find now. Thing I like is how easy it is to sharpen the tool. You can also use square carbide.
We have huge boring heads like that at work. They are hell on the spindles, but sometimes necessary to get into tight spaces on big workpieces. We use them on our HBMs.
Ahhh less than two hundred till 100 thou subs!!! You have set my expectations high for some sort of 100k special. Perhaps a comprehensive shop tour? And congrats in advance!
No he is going to reveal new bodypart for friend for his hands........... ......... ...... ... hairy arms perhaps :-D Just kidding..... Face has been revealed allready,,,, not so longtime a go he made so mirror finnished part that mirror image has been seen allready ;-)
I used to have the same opinion on drills with leds, but then I got one... I can't tell you how many times I've been working in poorly lit conditions where previously I would have had to wear a headlamp or set up some kind of lighting. It's definitely not a must, but it's definitely a welcome upgrade.
mute8s >>> The hot guys who work in foundries don’t like 58008 unless they’re made of muscles at least 58008 on the Rockwell C scale and are called “pecs”.
I did get a genuine diamond toolholder - it does OK - except - the locking is hard to get sufficient so - if the tip is disturbed a bit you can be quickly off center. Apart from that tangential cutting is great.
A more affordable option which prevents slippage: a machinist's jack from the heel of the tool down to the topslide or cross-slide. Also helps rigidity. Quite a lot. Don't run into the chuck jaws, though!
i love your videos..also Ave's .. im not into any of this , by fact im an accountant but i want to be a man some day.. maybe watching this videos might help or not ...
Lord Pisntits I'm talking lathes plus the tools needed for that (and the electricity) and a CNC plus all of the tools needed. The cheapest lathe is the harbor freight mini lathe and it's 600 bucks. Maybe next tax season I'll get the mini lathe.
by trade* that is your trade bud! take pride! i couldnt do it if my life depended on it, but i can wire a 200a panel with my eyes closed! we all have out strengths and that one youve got, is economy proof!!
so this sick addiction you started in me all those years ago had its way with me again today. I went out to get a dust collector for the new 9014 cnc machine im building and walked out with a router and bits, an angle grinder and discs, a chop saw, a brad nailer, assorted air hose parts and hose, a new dremel and a palm sander. i had so much crap i didnt even think about how it was going to fit in my jeep. before ToT my yearly tool spending would be around $300. Since Tot my yearly tool spending is about $10k. problem is i have need for more than i have room now. i need tools that take up negative space so they make room for other tools:)
You got around the main problem with tangential tooling by welding the cutter. Normally they rely on friction to hold the tool though this may work in a vertical mill for light work there is a lot less force. For more manly end milling we use end mills with a weldon flat. :)
I'm confused as to why you would need a special tool holder to do the tangential cuts couldn't you raise the tool holder, position the cutter like a normal tool, and initiate the cut on the work piece from the top?
That light on the Milwaukee comes in real handy when you have to go underneath the sink to drill a hole or turn a screw and you don't have a third hand to hold the flashlight unlike This Old Tony does.
Great video, your son is a natural! I think you'll be happy with the new Milwaukee, my son's a jet mechanic for a major airline, they use those and Dewalt drills and 1/4" drivers, they take a beating literally. He's now buying a set for home to replace my 19.2v Craftsman which are showing their age and to be honest I'm tired of repairing (they weigh twice as much with less power/battery life) but I've had them 15yrs and they've served well. Any chance putting up the plans for the ball turner? Be safe
I may have you beat for workholding setup of the year. I had some 6.5" x 3" x 0.5" aluminum stock that needed the ends milled, drilled and counterbored. My only mill is a tiny Sherline, and I don't own a drill press, so I had to get creative. I rotated the head by 90 degrees on the mill, set up a couple of parallels on the far side of the table, put a 1-2-3 block on top of those (legthwise across the table) and secured it to the T slots. Then I placed my 2" vise against the 1-2-3 block, held vertically, passed a drawbolt through the 1-2-3 block and vise, put a couple of parallels against the back side of the vise to give the washers something to press against, and bolted it all together. It worked, and I got my parts finished, but man was that sketchy.
I found your channel through AvE's channel channel and I have to say, I laughed my ever lovin' ass off (wait, what does that even mean?). I'm an instant subscriber. Between Ave and yourself, I have no doubt I'll have nearly countless hours of hilarity as well
Hi Tony, in case you'll see some tool video from me, I had it assembled for a long time. I have some "not an everyday" tools. However you just gave me an idea: I used to collect old cameras, I know nothing about these new ones but I have a collection of old cameras for a video. This video was terrific, helpful ideas thanks for it. Bob

As for the clamping mech I can do the same but add a threaded hole for a grub screw to offset the clamping height for different sized tooling. A bolt down the middle into a threaded hole in the tool holder itself and we're in business. Thanks for the great video....
Scrap yards are always fun. Bought a 300+ lb. 29" diameter lathe face plate cheap. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it but..... It's pretty damn cool. Sure won't be a wall hanger though !
Abom style rotary welding table?
Ha ha... the same sh#^t here, only with 500 mm for jaw chuck... for a 50€
Doug Bourdo I'm looking for a beast like that to make a powered welding table (not like Abom's but his is a beauty). I see them for sale around the country but shipping is insane. If you're near NYC I'd be willing to take it off your hands if you decide not to use it.
I love these shoot and poops? Keep up the great work Tony, your sense of humour and seemingly endless wealth of knowledge are a perfect match for your uncanny ability to simplify things so the rest of us mere men can understand and even learn a few things.
I do all my TH-cam videos with my trusty old Nikon F Photomic FTN. Which probably goes a long way to explaining why my channel is not up yet. Developing the film, scanning each frame, manually assembling the frames into video, man, that's a lot of work!
Hi Tony, yet more joy and superb entertainment and education. You have now got me rewatching your work to catch the subliminal stuff. Kindest regards. Joe
I'm sure you probably know this already, but hopefully I blow your mind a little bit. Guess what happens when you use the same tool 90 degrees clockwise from the orientation you have it in the video? You get a vertical shear bit/tool as well. You can also do this with round HSS. Works great for ball turners.
Great video! I love the humour but keep coming back for the info and insights.
Ok eating the apple core is a little bit weird, but the most distressing thing I ever saw in a movie was the scene in K-Pax where buddy there eats the entire *banana*.
I have always heard the Interapid indicator is designed to measure with the contact point held at an angle of 12° to the measuring surface. How about a video showing the errors at different tip angle using gauge blocks?
Yes! I actually did that and cut the parts out as the vid was close to 40 mins long.
To compensate on an interapid at, say, 22*.. you'd subtract 12.. and only worry about the 10* difference.
That tangential cutter was rad...
That looks like a BEAST method. Seems like it could be a total game changer in terms of rigidity.
About 0.2617 rad.
BTW Interapid test indicators are calibrated to zero error at 12 degrees since most setups would interfere at zero degrees. Mitutoyo has an optional involute tip that is self correcting up to around 30 degrees. A few ways to skin that cat.
yes! good point.
pun intended.
Like the calculator display at 15:37
good call i missed that!

I had a good chuckle at the hip replacement line. I used to work for a casting/machining company and it's most profitable segment was "medical". Mostly hip and knee replacements, but all were metal, I believe high cobalt alloys.
I had a friend over for dinner once. A reenactment of the conversation:
"What's that fruit?"
"It's a pomegranate."
"I've never had one of those."
"Here you go. You can take it home with you."
Instead of taking it home he just took a bite out of it right there. I'm sorry to say that I laughed. A lot. And that's the day I lost a friend, at least until he got me back with the... but I digress.
So I would have invited you to dinner, but not until I have a grasp of your knowledge of fruit which has, to date, not come up in your videos.
hahaahaha
Please, i'd LOVE to have you over for dinner. BTW, you almost single handedly got me into this world of machining. Bought me a small (read: way too small and filled with regrets) lathe and a small mill to see if it was fun. Well, I now make weekly trips to my local Metal Supermarket for cutoffs and my garage and whole house are filled with chips. Thank you sir. I truly appreciate it.
You are literally my favorite shop guy in the Internet
Moe Chan AvE and Tony are my favorites.
Moe Chan forgot Clickspring and SV Seeker!
Khum Dhan lo
I appreciate all the work you put into these. I laugh with you as much as any of my favourite comedians. (there may also be some very interesting information for a new machinist such as myself)
If you and the miss (and the little ones even) are visiting Orlando Fl, this is an official invitation for a dinner and a tour of my shop - there I said it and no it's never too late :)
I cant decide which is better, your machine work or your shop humor-- both are great.
I've had times in my life when I ate an apple like that, not because I was hunting humans, but because I was damn hungry.
Of course, I was at Parris Island in Human Hunting School at the time, so maybe you've got something there.
Total entertainment. Great to finally know what background you come from. Used to work in an aluminium rolling mill. Lot cleaner than a steel plant but just as fascinating.
I've got $20 on the "apple clue to the serial killer's identity" showing up in a Hollywood film before 2017 ends. I was entirely clueless about that twist coming, but it makes PERFECT SENSE.
1 year ago
Have an older Milwaukee drill here. Has worked great for years. A few notes on them:
Li-Ion batts don't like being used ffffreezing cold. All of mine seem to loose capacity and torque.
Get an XC battery. The stock ones don't like drilling through heavy steel. 1/2" hole through 1.5" steel and the stock batts soon became door stops or had much less capacity. The XC batts last far longer in heavy use and I can work a whole job with one.
I picked up a NOS batt of ebay for a reasonable price.
But is your new drill a skookum choocher?
are you suggesting fowl play? like they might've bait'n'switched it for a choochum skooker?
Only if it was purchased for fine canadian pesos!
that light on the end of the drill gun is a life saver, sometimes you forget to bring a flashlight and the drill gets you out of a bind, really incredible.
Actually ran into that the other day at work. Had to screw a hinge into the bottom of a shelf with an 8 inch beam. Not much light got in there, so the drill light made it a lot easier to line up the screws with the holes.
"Apple man killed and ate them all."
🤣🤣🤣
Only 3 years late, but that boring bar is off a large vertical lathe. We had one where I did my apprenticeship, it had a 36” chuck and dimmed the lights when you powered it up. It only took up as much real estate as our small lathe. Not an overly big machine really. I only ever remember it being used a handful of times but when you needed it, nothing else would come close.
More than video or audio quality is story telling and you definitely now how to tell a story in an interesting manner.
I can see how folks like you working in a shop probably don't get much benefit from an LED on an drill... but for anyone doing construction work, they're great. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a game changer, but it often means getting the job done right away instead of having to stop and set up a work light. Especially with the newer designs where the LED stays on for a few seconds after you're done drilling.
Anyway, I enjoy your channel. Thanks for making these videos!
@2:00 "dad. why did you bring me to a gay steel mill?"
"hot stuff comin' through!"
Then the caress of that nylon bellend @ 8:19
we work hard we play hard
jonnoMoto >>> All the hot guys work with metal. Everyone knows that. Plus a leather strap or two, according to personal taste.
I.... don't.... know!
Hey Tony, just to throw a spanner in your C ... err, so to speak, not all DTIs are designed to be used with the contact point at 0 degrees. Interapid for example are calibrated to measure correctly with the contact point at 12 degrees.
PS that is the best looking apple I've ever seen. I would like to see more fruit on your channel.
I wish I had a lathe!
Max Maker I wish I had the room for one...
JBpiification i have a lathe 2 times bigger than ThisOldTony's one but i can't bring it in my garage...
I have two lathes . I wish I had a mill☹️
@@frankinjeep1194 It is not possible to have too many lathes.
@@Gottenhimfella true that !!!!!!
Rewatching old videos! Hope your doing good! Thanks for the great content
I was so deeply twitching waiting for APPLE + Ball turner AHHHHHHHHHHHH DO IT!!!!! sigh. then it didn't happen.
Don't think I didn't think about that.. or was tempted. :)
Hi Tony that big boring bar that has the dove tailed head is a bar that takes various different insert heads so it is easy to change the small head at the front and not the whole 5 foot bar. cheers
WHERE'S THE COMMENT ABOUT NEWTON INVENTING THE APPLE
I bought one of those Diamond tool holders about 20 years ago. Works great, but hard to find now. Thing I like is how easy it is to sharpen the tool. You can also use square carbide.
Dam! Was just about to go to bed and saw this, oh well, who needs sleep! Thanks another great load of poop :-)
Same here!
We have huge boring heads like that at work. They are hell on the spindles, but sometimes necessary to get into tight spaces on big workpieces. We use them on our HBMs.
I'd love to have myself over for dinner, anytime.
Another fantastic video from your shop - please don´t ever stop making 'em - I´m addicted.
Ahhh less than two hundred till 100 thou subs!!! You have set my expectations high for some sort of 100k special. Perhaps a comprehensive shop tour? And congrats in advance!
No he is going to reveal new bodypart for friend for his hands...........
.........
......
...
hairy arms perhaps :-D
Just kidding.....
Face has been revealed allready,,,, not so longtime a go he made so mirror finnished part that mirror image has been seen allready ;-)
I love the Alford Hitchcock closing. Very good info for all of us. Thanks.
You forgot to eat the seeds.
I used to have the same opinion on drills with leds, but then I got one... I can't tell you how many times I've been working in poorly lit conditions where previously I would have had to wear a headlamp or set up some kind of lighting. It's definitely not a must, but it's definitely a welcome upgrade.
Up your fiber intake to succeed in regularity
Nothing beats waking up Friday morning with a new Tony vedio.
love the 58008 on the calculator.
It is also referenced multiple times by what it reads. Grab yourself a calculator type in that number then read it upside down...... Your welcome.
mute8s >>> The hot guys who work in foundries don’t like 58008 unless they’re made of muscles at least 58008 on the Rockwell C scale and are called “pecs”.
I did get a genuine diamond toolholder - it does OK - except - the locking is hard to get sufficient so - if the tip is disturbed a bit you can be quickly off center. Apart from that tangential cutting is great.
Ifanger is another tangential option, which does not slip. More $$$, though.
A more affordable option which prevents slippage: a machinist's jack from the heel of the tool down to the topslide or cross-slide. Also helps rigidity.
Quite a lot.
Don't run into the chuck jaws, though!
i love your videos..also Ave's .. im not into any of this , by fact im an accountant but i want to be a man some day.. maybe watching this videos might help or not ...
Hi mate. I've tried, but I can't stand the dirty hands all of the time. ( O;
I'm a male nurse.
Ramon Almodovar I wish I could afford the schooling or tools and machinery to become a machinist.
Khum Dhan im apprenticing right now but the tools weren't overly expensive. (mind you building industrial equipment isnt the most accurate)
Lord Pisntits I'm talking lathes plus the tools needed for that (and the electricity) and a CNC plus all of the tools needed. The cheapest lathe is the harbor freight mini lathe and it's 600 bucks.
Maybe next tax season I'll get the mini lathe.
by trade* that is your trade bud! take pride! i couldnt do it if my life depended on it, but i can wire a 200a panel with my eyes closed! we all have out strengths and that one youve got, is economy proof!!
so this sick addiction you started in me all those years ago had its way with me again today. I went out to get a dust collector for the new 9014 cnc machine im building and walked out with a router and bits, an angle grinder and discs, a chop saw, a brad nailer, assorted air hose parts and hose, a new dremel and a palm sander. i had so much crap i didnt even think about how it was going to fit in my jeep. before ToT my yearly tool spending would be around $300. Since Tot my yearly tool spending is about $10k. problem is i have need for more than i have room now. i need tools that take up negative space so they make room for other tools:)
Congrats on 100k subs, another great video tony!
You got around the main problem with tangential tooling by welding the cutter.
Normally they rely on friction to hold the tool though this may work in a vertical mill for light work there is a lot less force. For more manly end milling we use end mills with a weldon flat. :)
Enjoyed the talk.
I'm confused as to why you would need a special tool holder to do the tangential cuts couldn't you raise the tool holder, position the cutter like a normal tool, and initiate the cut on the work piece from the top?
"brand loyalty man gene"
That light on the Milwaukee comes in real handy when you have to go underneath the sink to drill a hole or turn a screw and you don't have a third hand to hold the flashlight unlike This Old Tony does.
0:30 Our oven is too small, else would we love to have YOU for dinner. :-)
Great video, your son is a natural! I think you'll be happy with the new Milwaukee, my son's a jet mechanic for a major airline, they use those and Dewalt drills and 1/4" drivers, they take a beating literally. He's now buying a set for home to replace my 19.2v Craftsman which are showing their age and to be honest I'm tired of repairing (they weigh twice as much with less power/battery life) but I've had them 15yrs and they've served well. Any chance putting up the plans for the ball turner? Be safe
Thanks James! Here's hoping i get my bang for the buck. No plans for the ball turner but I intend on making a better one. Stay tuned!
I gladly stopped working to watch your video. thanks old Tony!
I may have you beat for workholding setup of the year. I had some 6.5" x 3" x 0.5" aluminum stock that needed the ends milled, drilled and counterbored. My only mill is a tiny Sherline, and I don't own a drill press, so I had to get creative.
I rotated the head by 90 degrees on the mill, set up a couple of parallels on the far side of the table, put a 1-2-3 block on top of those (legthwise across the table) and secured it to the T slots. Then I placed my 2" vise against the 1-2-3 block, held vertically, passed a drawbolt through the 1-2-3 block and vise, put a couple of parallels against the back side of the vise to give the washers something to press against, and bolted it all together.
It worked, and I got my parts finished, but man was that sketchy.
Sometimes it's all about whatever it takes. :)
I eat the whole apple.
I used to. The seeds started giving me a stomach ache though so now I cut it into quarters and pop out the seeds.
Mishn0 mmh,cyanide yum
Me, too. Well, lately I haven't, but I still could. I started when I was a kid, and was too lazy to bring the core to the trash can.
I found your channel through AvE's channel channel and I have to say, I laughed my ever lovin' ass off (wait, what does that even mean?). I'm an instant subscriber. Between Ave and yourself, I have no doubt I'll have nearly countless hours of hilarity as well
80085, nice.
Hi Tony, in case you'll see some tool video from me, I had it assembled for a long time. I have some "not an everyday" tools.
However you just gave me an idea: I used to collect old cameras, I know nothing about these new ones but I have a collection of old cameras for a video. This video was terrific, helpful ideas thanks for it. Bob
if you ever find yourself in southern Wisconsin ill buy you a spotted cow, best beer ever
Jacob Westphal and a brat?
Jacob Westphal Amen. Can't wait 'til Oshkosh!
Josh Russell don't forget the cheese curds
Great tool exploration! You have discovered the watchmaker’s graver, the hand held cutting tool for cutting watch and clock pivots!
