Mr. Peterson. I'm an old retired auto mechanic who got interested in machining by cutting brake drums and rotors about 50 years ago. I bought an Atlas/Craftsman 12 Inch about as old as I am (71) a long time ago and became a self-taught chip cutter. I found your vids a number of years ago and they sure have moved my machine work LIGHT YEARS from where I was able to take it. At your suggestion I purchased both The Henry Ford Trade School and the Repp/McCarty books and have about read the cover off of each and, as you said, they were both VERY informative and helpful. I watch ALL of your vids. Not all of them relate directly to my little shop (I don't have a Mill) but I generally find at least 1 thing in every vid that I can take and apply, in some form, to machine operations I am doing. Sorry to be so long winded, but I just wanted to say Thank You very much for what you have taught me. I really appreciate it.
Thank you very much for the comment. I am very glad that you enjoy my videos. Good luck with your shop. Mr. McCarthy the author of the shop book, was my college teacher
Likewise another mechanic learning to machine here. Since we (mechanics) are by default plumbers, reverse engineers, electricians, welders, pipe fitters, this is another important skill to gain.
@@houseofbrokendobbsthings5537 Yep ... The Science of Nuts and Bolts I used to call it. There was a LOT of machining that went on in auto repair back in the day ... just dealing with busted studs ... and the broken taps and drill bits butchers would leave in there. Plastigage to measure bearing clearance and clay to measure valve opening/piston clearance. I don't think anybody does any of that anymore.
@@oddshot60 Correct, I still have a full set of seat grinders and an ancient Sioux valve grinder. Just in case zombies attack and somebody has to fix the last slant six Dodge in the world…LOL. All the best good Sirs!
That South Bend stamping into the block is sweet, I did appreciate the facing operations in the 4 jaw chuck, it is a good reminder you don't need a mill for everything. Thanks Tubalcain
Great video, Mr Pete! I have over 50 years as a machinist and I enjoy seeing different approaches to making parts. You always mention several ways to make a part, which is what I tried to impress on new machinist's when I was a mentor. I've been watching your videos for years but only recently started commenting. Thanks for your time and sharing! 👍😎✌️
Good Morning Mr Pete! One of the things I've always liked about you, seems like you don't worry too much about getting things down to a exact measurement. I recall my Dad needed to make a part for a project he had in mind - designed it in his head, measured and laid out with a tape measure, added .010 for irregularaties in the cast base, and gave a retired machinist friend a sketch with all the dimensions required. Two weeks later, "Marvin, here's the piece youre needing. Took me awhile to get it down to the last tenh thousandth....."
Vintage Mr. Pete!!! Great to see the chips flying again. Lots and lots of excellent tips and techniques. Many seen before BUT always reinforcing and refreshing what you've taught us over the years. Thanks!!!
My friend I appreciate the enormous effort you put in to teaching people. All this machining is still in the future as I have yet to obtain a lathe ! Kindest regards from Oz 🇦🇺
Lyle, I am excited about this project. As a novice wanting to learn the basics this project is just what I want and need to do. I don't like any natural faces on my material, so I will take the extra step to face mill each face. I am recovering from open heart surgery. I am eager to be back in the shop. I am at 3 + weeks post op, and I was in the shop yesterday and straining is still hard on the healing sternum! I celebrated being released from home health care by ordering a 14k lb two post vehicle lift so I can more easily do auto and truck service. The two post lift may be my home rigging solution for my recently purchased large American Pacemaker engine lathe. I bought it before realizing that it weighs around 9.5k lbs and my home shop hoisting capacity is 3T! Interrupted by heart surgery and still struggling on my end with heavy rigging limitations, my lathe is still sitting in the seller's shop. The big AP brings my lathe inventory to 6, 3 wood and 3 metal lathes. I am building the neighborhood's "best equipped" novice hobby shop for my retirement pleasure. I am having a ball! I purchased a Baldor tooling grinder to aid my novice tool sharpening skills. I have only used it for one serious job when I sharpened wood planer blades for a teenager friend trying to salvage a beat up wood planer. Your SB copy tool grinding fixture is a tool that I will enjoy making and I will likely use! I haven't purchased any broaches yet. I will likely employ your "mill a square hole" trick just as another learning shop project. You must have been a delightful HS teacher. I never took shop classes in school. I wound up with a career maintaining machining machinery, mostly CNC, but never was formally trained as a machinist. I have lots of observed head knowledge about machining (milling, turning, grinding) and can troubleshoot, repair and maintain machinery, but learning basic manual machining skills is one of my retirement hobby pleasures. I got my new shop 3 phase functioning just prior to surgery. I have 16 grandsons that all need the shop time that I missed as a boy. I outgrew my first shop and built the new large shop last year. My intention is to separate machining from woodworking. The old shop is now exclusively for my woodworking hobbies. You are my favorite TH-cam instructor. TOT posted a wonderful turning a square block on the lathe video yesterday. I wanted to show the wife, but she just doesn't get the humor! I still want to come meet you. My heart troubles, grandbabies being born every few months, building the new shop, etc interfered with my plans to visit you last year. We learned yesterday that grandchild #36 is on the way! Currently there are "two grandchildren in the oven"!
I appreciate you showing all the "low tech" methods in your videos. I was taught in a university shop with digital everything and in my hobby shop that much expense is hard to justify.
Mr. Pete, I love listening to you as you seem to speak "proper machinist" language. So many times I hear you need to take another thou off or your 5 thou under. Great video please keep teaching.
I also really liked the Starrett center tester #65 as well, lol, just finished the extra credit pictures and you show the #65 and the sweet stamping of the SB logo in the block. Love it.
Thanks Mr Pete For your sharing your videos, I watched a lots video of your explained. Like today I just finished gear rack connect with south bend for homemade lathe now work. Thanksgiving your sharing
It's a shame Mr Pete you have probably forgotten more about machine work than a lot of people will ever learn glad that you share your knowledge want to thank you
Another good project. I made one many years ago, but cheated a bit. The block was sawed from hardwood and the holder was made from two pieces and silver soldered together. A machined tube was SS on to a thick washer I had. That hole in the holder can be round also. Worked just fine. Thanks for all your videos, have learned a lot from you.
i have decided to do it in round stock . With flat's i dont have sq. stock & put the heal & the flat Toe . one side & flat On all other side's. & to avid having to set a engraving on all the sleeves, I engraved the block instead. & put a (0) on the Shaffer to avoid the Grinding wheel. & give good visibility . i stared with a 2" bare Before skimming flat to 3/4 " of flat the chamfer helps visibility when grinding. ! work's well.
Cool video. HS shop teacher taught me to sharpen lathe bits freehand. He had previously "caught" me sharpening screwdivers and drill bits. I must say that it took some practice to get lathe bits right.
Very nice. I bought a set of sharpening fixture plans from Australia. Very similar holder in the plans. Printed it in PETG plastic. Works well and helps with my unsteady hands. All The Best (That kid from Mt. Vernon Vocational) Dan
Would love to have a lathe and mill. Watching you process this tool part was interesting. I like how you give examples of other ways to get the same result.
At one time he suggested buying one or two small tools per month. It's amazing how quickly you can accumulate tools by visiting local flea markets and keeping an eye on ebay.
Great start to a new project. I wish I'd had something like this when I got my first lathe. With no machine shop background learning to grind tool bits was a bit of a struggle.
I'm tickled you actually HAVE a lantern tool post yet! :-) This slow turning, pre 30's SB lathe user is smiling and thankful. That large drill bit finally showed a little deflection and was mad at you! Now I feel silly, the handy chuck is a JT33 mount isn't it. I have a rescue chuck (from the dumpster) that's likely a JT33 and I haven't tried it out yet to see. You teach on many levels and we're watching. Thank you!
Hi, Lyle I think you will find that your accuracy with your center finder is about 10 times as sensitive to change of movement because of the lever distance from work to pivot, and from pivot to center point reference. Not all modern metrology methods are necessarily better that older ones that relied on simple geometry. I was taught to use a taught wire for accurate layout many decades ago, and thought that it's accuracy had been replaced by laser leveling, and placement. I was wrong, the " New Hadrone Collider ", ( Atom Smasher !!! LOL ) was aligned, and leveled with the Taught wire method. Sometimes Older is really better !!! LOL !!! Would love to see you again at the Bar Z bash again this year. We are loosing ' Old Shop " teachers, and the next generation will not be better for the loss. Tim
Thank you for the encouragement and the analysis of that center finder. I thought it was old school technology that was not all that good. I was just showing it for the fun of it. I think you are right, sometimes older is better. I won’t be making it to California this year. My trip to Florida really took my energy away, still not recovered. I suppose another old shop teacher will soon be biting the dust.
Someone needs to put together a documentary on "reclaiming shop skills" and have Tubalcain, Vintage Machinery, Abom, TOT, and other TH-cam mentors narrate and present on various topics (where shop class used to be, why it went away, how it's been preserved, and how independent mentors have been bringing it back via the TH-cam platform)
I didn't know that their was a tool to grind high speed tool bits,I currently use a lantern style holder for 3/8 and 1/2 " bits,than!s for the video🤗😎🤗😎
Excellent video! I'm not going to make one but I thoroughly enjoyed watching. One thing I'd add is that although high-speed is (largely) obsolete in commercial shops (I only use it on the lathe for one off form tools and internal grooving bits for cutting the seal grooves in large Hydraulic cylinder glands) I actually still use HSS almost exclusively on my line boring machine. I've had nothing but trouble with carbide on it. My preference for grinding is a dedicated 12" "Cincinnati" pedestal grinder with a 60 grit wheel, and the work rest set give the relief angle I use for everything. It's at least the fastest option I've found
Hello mr Pete. I do learn a lot from Your videos. Knowledge I try to pass on to younger generations at an industrial museum I guid in. When You square stock in the 4 yaw chuck, I suppose You tap the stock thigh to the chuck face? This might be a stupid question but doesn’t the yaws get bell mouthed in the same way in a 4 yaw independent, as in a 3 yaw scroll chuck? How do I knew that when tightening the 4 yaw, the stock stays square? If the stock has a lesser dimension than the through hole in the chuck, is there anything to keep in mind using a parallel? PeO
I enjoy your videos! You are a great teacher, I learn a lot. “Project 3 from home shop machinist book” page 187 has a project that is very close to the South Bend design
I have tried 3 times to post this, this is #5 this time from a different PC on a different browser: Thank you for the video. Many of us out her would LOVE this jig and thanks for showing how to use it; butMAKING the darn thing is either technically or due to lack of tools not in the cards. Fortunately this company alisam period company (look it up I deleted the UR-Is that the company you were mentioning?_ sells one. I discovered that your videos has resulted on a run on them and the guys on eBay selling some of these.
The diameter you measured it timeframe 18 minutes should be 1.3528 inches in diameter. This makes the circumference of the part exactly 4.25. This allows a certain distance between degree graduations on the circumference of the part.
I'm a bit confused. The first two faces are more or less parallel, given the registry against the 4-jaw chuck face plate. What assures that the third face is perpendicular to the first two? The third face was milled by resting the bottom of the block on a rough face - there's no assurance that this face is square to the previously machined ends. (Perhaps none of this matters in this context in that it's close enough.) I'm not trying to be critical in any way. I'm new to this and am trying to think everything through.
Mr. Pete. Lyle, you could have saved material and a bit of work by cutting you stock ready to make the 1 & 5/8" finished size. The 2" stock is big enough to make the 1 & 7/8". Easy to criticise when sitting in the bath watching you make your fantastic videos.
Would it be possible to get that dimensions video sent to me? Or reposted so i can go through it? This Jig would come in very handy for me as i am grinding a lot of my own specialty cutters out of HSS, like acme thread grinds, v thread, radius tooling etc. As i am really just starting out and my wife and i are in the midst of buying our first house, my machine shop budget does not currently allow me to buy carbide insert tooling.
Anyone doing machine work should learn how to grind drill bits and lathe cutters in shop class we had to learn how to do it my shop teacher was John Ludlow good teacher
Mr. Pete, 1st off this isn't anything to do wit this content, but have you made a video on making a set of key seat ruler clamps??? Searched but no results on this end, if you have, please share link, if not, might be a video idea, either way, like see your take on it
Shars, et al, have round spacer sets that are perfect for this purpose. They have a 1/4-28 threaded hole in the center, so you can set them up in advance for all your length operations. You can also use feeler gages if you need to shave off a few thous.
Hello MrPete I have a few questions and was trying to figure out how to get a hold of you. I have tried finding your website but keep coming up short. Do you have an email address or can you post a link to your website?
@@mrpete222 Thank you. I have a few questions about an atlas/craftsman lathe and some attachments that are with it. I know the one is the milling attachment but there are a few others I am unsure of.
😀Thank you Mr. Pete, for another great video! You ARE America's favorite shop teacher!!

Hi, Lyle
I think you will find that your accuracy with your center finder is about 10 times as sensitive to change of movement because of the lever distance from work to pivot, and from pivot to center point reference.
Not all modern metrology methods are necessarily better that older ones that relied on simple geometry.
I was taught to use a taught wire for accurate layout many decades ago, and thought that it's accuracy had been replaced by laser leveling, and placement.
I was wrong, the " New Hadrone Collider ", ( Atom Smasher !!! LOL ) was aligned, and leveled with the Taught wire method.

Hi Mr. Pete I am a home shop guy and use a lot of hss. I have some carbide cutters but most of the time use HSS for better finish. Thanks
Thanks
Great one pete
Great video thanks for sharing Mr pete
Thanks for sharing 👍
Excellent video! I'm not going to make one but I thoroughly enjoyed watching.
One thing I'd add is that although high-speed is (largely) obsolete in commercial shops (I only use it on the lathe for one off form tools and internal grooving bits for cutting the seal grooves in large Hydraulic cylinder glands) I actually still use HSS almost exclusively on my line boring machine. I've had nothing but trouble with carbide on it.
My preference for grinding is a dedicated 12" "Cincinnati" pedestal grinder with a 60 grit wheel, and the work rest set give the relief angle I use for everything. It's at least the fastest option I've found

Good evening Mr Pete I like the jig but how do you make a center tester I like to see that if you get the time thank you
Actually, I did make one a long time ago. I think I showed it in a video, but never showed how to make it. Never thought anyone cared

Thank you, I have not seen that project book
Mr. Pete, can't wait to see how you put the graduations and degrees on the collets. Jerry in Pa.

Anyone doing machine work should have to learn on a turret lathe and mill before they use CNBC in order to be a good machinist
If nobody is making them why don't you make and sell
Hello MrPete I have a few questions and was trying to figure out how to get a hold of you. I have tried finding your website but keep coming up short. Do you have an email address or can you post a link to your website?
First of all, I do not have a website. And secondly if it is really really important you can contact me at this email address.

@@mrpete222 Thank you. I have a few questions about an atlas/craftsman lathe and some attachments that are with it. I know the one is the milling attachment but there are a few others I am unsure of.
Nice. Ron W4BIN
