Hey guys! We're starting this new series of videos called "Shop Toys", where we dig deep into one of our machines or tools! Anything you want to see covered next?
I noticed that the tools and machines you guys get excited about also interest me so: whatever you guys think is cool! I have one suggestion, consider talking about simple mods you made to make the job easier. Examples from previous video's are the 3D printed lean holders, parts catcher on the lathe etc.
I know you already covered it, but another look at the tumbler would be great! Maybe show how it fits into the shop's workflow, go into the media in more depth.
Not that I'm an expert, but a HEPA filter is probably a better / cheaper option. Carbon filters are more for filtering organics and gasses rather than fine particulates. A HEPA filter will trap particulates down to 0.3 μm and will probably have better flow as well.
Love this segment and have a request if at all possible. I loved the episode where you went over the fine tuning method to cut the foam for your cases. Could you perhaps cover the process of cutting the G10 for your work holders. I make piston rings are have recently started using a lapmaster 15 to speed up my lapping process. I don't have a CNC mill yet and have zero cad/cam experience so I'm farming this step out.
Hello.I can make question for you? Please. What the material plastics You use for accommodate the piece? (3'48 video.)I need this is information, for use in my working. Wined more one inscriber.thanks.
Good job, but it could be interesting to see what degree of RA (average roughness) you get from the end of the machining and how much RA you get from your Engis machine. Could you share us values?
The surface finish of the parts coming of the other (loaner) machine, seemed like they left bit to be desired. ("Gouges," or more like marks deeper than the rest, since they're not really deep, swirls, etc) I hope this machine makes parts with better surface finish. Unless the camera was accentuating the marks ("Gouges") in the surface. Or you guys don't really need a uniform lapped surface, and you just want to get it flat. I was expecting a gauge block-like surface finish.
I believe they are only using the lapping machine to get the blanks flat and to a certain thickness so they get better tool life in the mill more then a good surface finish from lapping.

How about the mori being installed? Also nice photo bomb John!!!
The TW-90 and all the attachments maybe? Anything Mori related is great too so can’t go wrong with that!

I'd like to see your hardness testing process.
I like the idea; making a video like this about your equipment is a chance to think about what you have now and where you want to go in the future.
Grimsmo knives are the only ones that double as Grade A surface plates. :-)
And scrapers too! :))

agreed, hepa with a carbon prefilter or better yet just exhaust it all outside
We use a hepa when machining beryllium. You don't want that in your lungs.

Hi, what are you using to hold the components in place while you lap? Is it a 3D print?
Great video Eric! Are you using different grits along with different pressures on the pads? Thanks for sharing Buddy!
Whoa dude! Where have you been?? Last video was over a year ago. I loved watching your enthusiasm and craftsmanship in your videos
@@justinmoritz6543 Thanks Buddy been selfishly having a blast helping folks make amazing custom 3D delta printers.
@@wernerberry7800 ahhhh really cool!
Great video, Erin! Love the music...

Please could you post the link for the air filtration system?
Nice work!

When you talk about high precision, I can't help but think of this - th-cam.com/video/w-wbWGwZ7_k/w-d-xo.html
