- Next up for our hitch crane I'll get the nylon bushing machined, pressed into the pipe, then finished to size. I'll show some hand grinding of large taper shank drill bits, measure them using a drill gage and how to hone the cutting edge. We also put to use one of my expanding mandrels.
Each episode has been sharing some machining tricks and techniques and that's one way I enjoy sharing the video footage.
The next episode will finish off our hitch crane build and put it to the test!

Thanks for adding the bit about sharpening the drill bits. I had to do an “emergency sharpening” on a neighbors drill bit and they thought I was nuts cause I did it with a grinder. Definitely not as nice as using the stone wheel, but worked for that project at hand. I already sent them a link for your video since you did a better job explaining it than I did
Drill bit sharpening is the biggest mystery of the universe… I for one CAN NOT FREE HAND it. I need a jig
That's 45 minutes of my life I won't get back… Adam I have never been a machinist, and I never will be, but I could not stop watching a master at work… It's amazing!
So tell me about 45 minutes of your life you ever did get back.
I'm a retired Die Maker. I've sharpened more drills than I could possibly remember. When you start to grind the cutting edge, as you raise up the front of the drill (or lower the shank, whatever way you want to define it), rotate it slightly clockwise. That's how you get the chisel angle correct. It just takes practice.
Mustard Clean: You’re absolutely correct; die maker here also. Rotating the cutting edges with a little dip to the right only comes with experience.
I love these video makers trying to tell bunk, how much harder would it be to show how it should be done the right way, like you say experience, but why show improper methods? Then push yourself off on a video as a expert? You are right, do it right, but don’t teach wrong.
good job abom79
I slide machines on dish soap. It’s easy clean up too. I spun a 75 ton locomotive at a crossing on steel plates and dish soap, then rolled it onto a trailer.
Hi Adam,
When you weld around an area you want to keep cool, place a wet rag around the area you want to protect. Then weld in stages allowing some time cooling between stages. This works well with valves with sensitive parts. I really enjoy your videos.

Mr precision does it again. It's all the little things you do that makes your work something to be proud of. Every video is a learning process, especially if you have never done this type of work before, like me. I'm just a retired electrician of 40 years, but to see s piece of steel turned into something useful, is for the longest time, how is that made. I have learned a lot since watching you. Thanks, n can't wait to see this finished, installed and working. Thanks.
You're living right when you can spend this much time on a project, and do it superbly.
I like the long videos .... gives more detail .... Thanks Adam.
Adam is the only guy I know that can make Christmas decorations with a lathe, a piece of nylon and a 2" drill bit. Unfortunately, they went into the chip pan. Thanks for the video. Jon

I love watching Adam "freshen that edge up." 5:40 He makes it obvious that this is a trivial thing to do, provided only that you spend four years under a Master tutor, and have 22 years experience, as Adam did and does. For nylon the angle matters not at all. But this is Adam Booth. He cannot stand it. He has to get it exact. It is the internal drive that makes Adam a Grand Master Machinist, capable of making parts to 1/1000th every time.
If you don’t have what Adam has you may make a fair machinist but you’ll never make a toolmaker.
It's always a pleasure to watch someone at work who really knows what they're doing.
That 1 7/8" drilling in nylon has to be one of the coolest things I've seen on this channel :D
Enjoyed the whole video, but I really enjoyed watching you sharpen that drill. I LOVE seeing this stuff done manually and not with a computer or whatever. Its just great to see all the manual machining, the manual sharpening of drills, old school machines.. just great stuff, man.
I’d been waiting for days to see that piece of nylon turned and I wasn’t disappointed.
You sharpen drill bits like a boss! Back in high school Machine Shop they had us twist the drill as we rolled, which was part of why I never did get real good at sharpening. Luckily, when worked in a production shop we had a tool crib and just got sharp bits there. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for showing how that mandrel works! Just love seeing old tools doing work.
The thicker plastic noodles look just perfect for packing material. Thanks Adam, a nice visual feast!
Thank you , just pure precision, no guess work.......Bob.
I've had a drill Guage for years but now I know how to use it, thanks
I love your videos.
There is so much I can learn by watching them.
Greetings from germany
I've used a shopvac to clear the string of plastic swarf when turning Delrin or similar plastics. I've even vacuumed the swarf through the head stock on boring jobs
A plastic shaving wrangling trick is get your Shop Vac over and, with your third hand, get the chip running into the hose - once started you've got it made.
I always do that when machining plastics too, just love watching it slurp it up like spaghetti and has the bonus of no cleanup
Oh, Adam is back. Party tiiiiime!
I appriciate how no matter what your making you dont cut any corners (metophorically of course) and do the best quality work possible. Its amazing to see a master in his element
Thank You for the complete but quick show and tell of the drill bit sharping. Your years of experience makes projects appear to be effortless. I have learned quite a bit about machining, machining tools, materials and reference materials from you. I also purchased a used machinery handbook as a result of you introducing it to me. You have become a professional presenter with a warm personal feel. Like a good friend or neighbor would be. I have followed you at different levels depending on my life allowance for at least 5 years. I recall when you were repairing the ceiling in the original portion of the shop. Smiles Bro !
Honestly love watching you hone your own tooling. I understand edge geometry for cutting, but I'm not sure I could ever do it by hand.
And it's okay if you make some mistakes of have goof ups. Actually prefer to see those small human elements in videos and some of my favorite people to watch leave those moments in to demonstrate that they arent infallible or perfect. No matter what we love you and love watching you work. Wish I had gotten into machining when i was younger. I know a good bit but I'm more of an enthusiast than even a hobbyist at this point. I want to get my own machines in the near future and actually use them for projects.
We love it when you’re on the machines,we can tell your happiest too
Incredibly satisfying when the parts slide together just like you meant them too! You are a Master good Sir!!!
a family member of mine was working with p-tex on a table saw one time a few years back. He was making homemade gunnels for his boat at the time. The workpiece exploded on him and kicked back and cut a couple of his fingers off. It happened so quick that he said he didn't feel anything. But it gave me some new respect for working with this kind of material for sure.
Very thin coat of white lithium grease works great on nylon bushings.
Adam...I can see myself in a never ending cycle of drill sharpening which end's with me retiring with a very long beard and no idea of where the time has gone....and that plastic bushing still set in those jaws...
I use a 125 ton Dake at work and the screw binds on that one too. Always a pleasure to watch you work.
Sharpens and hones drill bit to perfection
"Let's go see if this thing will drill some plastic!"
I got a good laugh out of that one, Adam...meticulous as always, even when it's absolutely unnecessary. I always loved cranking out some little delrin locator pins at work. I could take a 3/4 radius and just hog off material and make a nice dome topped pin easily....I also loved the smell. PVC, too, but had to keep that pretty well soaked with coolant for a really smooth finish. PTFE always looked really nice after machining, too.
Amazing how meticulous machinists are on things we wouldnt think twice about. My dad is an engine machinist and is the same way.
Adam, I usually use an air nozzle to blow the stringy plastic through the workpiece whichever direction suits the job at hand. You can fix the air nozzle to a magnetic holder to keep your hands free.
13:05 The best part of work with nylon. That sound drives me crazy everytime.
lets put bringing that Dake up to full capacity on the to-do list
You haven't been watching his Instagram. There is a "new" Dake in the near future!
On a 3in resaw that I used to operate they used a paraffin based oil to lubricate the saw blade as it went through the guides. I know the saw is still in use even though it was built in 1947. It was a 19 ft Resaw blade type of Saw.
I would not recommend using dish soap. We used to use it for ceramic shaft seals until the seals failed during testing. After consulting various soap mfgs, it was found that they use friction modifiers to enhance the cleaning capability.
If a oil-less lubricant is preferred I'd use PX-80, or good old fashioned KY(dollar store brand is a better deal).
If a spray lubricant is preferred, I recommend Prizm made by Drummond American(Lawson bolts). It's a Teflon gel that is compatible with poly, as we have used it for many years on the sliding portions(beams) on ladder trucks and does not wash out when being left out in wet weather.
The hones are good tool for when drilling really gummy or sticky materials like copper and aluminum, the higher polish you can get on every surface of the drill will help prevent the material from sticking to it and not ejecting away from the cut.
adam use some teflon spray on the nylon to lubricate it and wrap a soaked water rag around the pipe where the nylon is when welding it if the nylon binds under weight you might consider parting out the inner part of the face and put a thrust bearing in it and use the outer part of the nylon as a seal chears from down under
Watch David Weiss interviews, he is offering 3 bitcoins for 1 proof of the globe.
Like your videos and what you do, I just come across either on and it’s called Cutting Edge Engineering Australia (maybe the two of you could get together
Anyway have a Great One ☝️ keep rolling 🇺🇸
I would caution you on using oil or grease on the nylon. Oil can gather particulate matter while it's wet and soon thereafter will dry out. Grease will get grit in it also but can harden over time depending on the environment it's kept in. I would suggest that you rub graphite onto the surfaces that touch each other. The graphite will not attract particles of dirt and will remain frictionless for quit some time.
you do nice work. both machining and filming. I love the fact you keep the family history in your life.
Abom makes Xmas tree decorations !
Cute 💜
Adam, your videos keep getting better and better. thank you so much.
If you're concerned about the nylon getting hot from the welding, use a garden hose to run water over it between the weld and the nylon, since you'll be welding farther down the pipe. Helps a ton.
saw the same problem.
don't think water will help much
so we will see what adam has in mind
That is a beautiful arbor press.
Now this is the Adam I like to watch!
Thanks Adam, it’s getting closer to in use !! Looks great! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
PTFE Dry lube would be ideal for that nylon bushing - it doesn't attract dirt like an oil or grease would. You can get it from WD40 or other brands.
Excellent series Adam. Especially with the two different types of materials, nylon and metal.
You're doing well make a video like this I watch every day my name is michel I'm from Belgium
Christmas decorations from the nylon shavings
It is always a pleasure to see you working, Adam. Thanks for your excellent jobs and clear videos.
Excellent video mate
Another quality video, kept me watching right to the end again.
Try McLube Teflon spray, it is designed as a lubricant for bearing plastics, it dries and does not attract dirt and is clean to handle.
I hope that when I die, wherever I go there's a Booth Machine Shop. Because it's gotta be tool heaven!!! Lmao
Thanks for all your time and efforts Adam!!
You might try easy slide dry graphite spray i use it when I don't want to deal with dirt and dust that is attracted to wet lubricants
Wrap a wet towel around the end of the tube to keep it from warping while you weld it.
Very professional and thorough.
Sweet video. I really like the expanding collet idea for the nylon. An idea to inhibit rust is a paste I use on my steel tools Rust Prevention Magic. You heat the tool with a heat gun and brush this stuff on your tools and bits. Works good to prevent rust.
I'm not a machinist nor will I ever be, but I sure enjoy watching you work on stuff! Can't wait to see more on your new shop. Cheers from California :)
Your hidrolic press gave you a good idea about what you should do on the screw in the bottom of the lift foot
Thank you Adam love watching your wonderful videos I am watching from South Africa
An arbor press being used to remove an actual arbor, nice!
Those nylon shavings are making me hungry for pasta!
You do great work
When you say "nothing too critical" by everybody else's standards it's okay to fly to space. You do excellent work, even on things that aren't critical. :-)
Look like vescolube perfect material. Good content as always. Thank you
Thanks for sharing 👍
Magnificent work man magnificent
Toujours du travail parfait avec Adam.
You are always so much fun to watch! And also educational.
👍👍👍👍👍😉 Thanks for sharing Adam, take care
"Like Butta!
I have always had the best luck starting with the backside slowly and gaining bit rotation speed as it works towards the cutting edge. It usually takes 5-8 tries before I reach the cutting edge. I see it as the cutting edge wears away much more than trailing areas.
2cents
Really like the longer series Adam. Learned a few things as always!
Enjoyed this one. Great show
great job of grinding the drill, i also know how important it is to machine the cutting edge after grinding. stay healthy and keep it up. Greetings from Germany.
I, for one, know you are a well trained pro. The double or triple chuck locking using the locking points around a chuck be it Lathe or Drill is adjusting the forces inside for a clean clench. Good Go and Good Lesson.
chip of the week
Always a pleasure to watch ty
Perfeito, não vejo hora de ver o sistema de elevação trabalhando!!!]
Saúde e paz a todos!!!
I kept expecting that you were going to weld or red Loctite a plug in , to support the bottom of the bushing , since the bearing surface @ the upper end is so narrow . What a good idea and twist on the truck crane . I'm enjoying the progress of the build , can't wait for the finale and the first trial .
With light weight materials like the nylon you could have used a shop vac to keep drawing the swarf out.
Hi Adam, it appears you might benefit from a wheel dressing gadget I made for my pedestal grinder. I mounted a dressing diamond with a threaded hole opposite end of diamond tip, into a block with a ledge to catch the edge of the grinder tool rest. A threaded hole in the block to match the one in the diamond, allows for the diamond adjustment. Sliding the block along the tool rest while the diamond cleans up the wheel makes the wheel run true and smooth. So much nicer than having your tools bouncing off the face of the wheel.
This is quality work.Thank you.
Someone I was watching on TH-cam was cutting plastic on a lathe or mill and the just held the hose to the shop vac at the cut and it solved all problems with the stringy chip.
I think a paraffin based oil will work great for your project
13:40 could sell those for wedding table decorations xD
Ribbed for her pleasure. :)
An articulated chip guide in a vacant tool holder quadrant can really help with plastics. Auto feed provides time for thinking up shapes to try.
Adam here is a tip from an old machinist/drill grinder.
.
Bend some flat plate at 90 degrees (2" X 10") ish and weld a centre on the 2" end facing up.
.
Position the drill csk hole on the CTR, blue the 8" length and scratch the drills cutting edges on the gauge, compare the 2 scratch marks and adjust your grind.
.
No measurements needs, use your eyes - ultra accurate and quick, accuracy is now increased vastly.
Ohh the old eyecromitor!!! Can’t beat it
Never seen Nylon machined like that, very interesting. Thanks
There's more than 1 kind of nylon. I'm guessing Adam used nylon 6, which is known to be employed in gears. Nylon 66 is used in hosiery and other clothing applications.
yes, dish pa is the best lube for plastics . also it posn't seem to harm them or attract as much dirt as oil. and of course the dirt is easy to rinse off. I used to use it on the plastic wheels of vacuum cleaners to stop squeaks .
Blow some air through the headstock spindle to move the chip out of the tube.
That's a lot of work and the piece turned out nice!
So cool to machine soft materials with sharp tools. I suggest using PTFE spray lubricant on these parts. It's dry and won't attract grit. Spray it on both bearing surfaces and it'll dry into a dry powder that is white and stays in place well. Otherwise, I'd suggest a dry silicone spray lube. PTFE "Teflon" would be my first choice for this Nylon part though.
Looks good always perfection.
