Woo! Really clever use of 3d printing, love it! Looking forward to future videos. Congrats on the 3 years self-employed btw, that's an accomplishment that should be celebrated too! 🥳
Please continue making videos. You’re a real professional and an honest broker. Energetically you are diametrically opposed to Titan and it’s really refreshing.
Booom!!! Extremely tiring! Not Adam but the german-seventies-porn-enthusiasm that permeates Titan’s work. However, he (Titan) is doing his thing and is a serious guy; not just for everyone.
Really cool and useful example of what can be achieved with cheap off-the-shelf precision goods like ground rod or ball bearings when the part being inspected is constrained in a way where the low precision of the 3d print isn't a problem.
Awesome idea! How precise is it? I'd like to see a follow up video showing assembly of the carbide rods and precision assessment on the granite table. Thanks for sharing.
The 3D printed idea is great but even better is the brief discussion about the approach / technique you would use in bringing a bee block. There is very little content from experienced tradespeople on grinding. I’ll definitely keep watching. Thanks
Love it! Very clear explanations! I remember you sent me the link for the Rollomatic Concentricity Pro some time ago and I thought it was an awesome idea. At the time, I was making my own set of excessively fancy adjustable height vee blocks. I had ground custom vee inserts which were crowned, so the large radius would remain “kinematic” while effectively dealing with the Hertzian contact stress issues which might result from heavy shafts on small diameter high stiffness carbide pins. Your use of 3D printing here is awesome! People might discount 3D printing for a precision tool application like this. But it really shines with monolithic structures with integrated compliant mechanisms. If you use good kinematic design principles and use hard, stuff materials where it counts, then 3D printed precision tools like what you’ve shown here could be a game changer. Thanks for the video!
One slight modification would be to offset the rods so that they do not touch, and then extend past one another. This would allow for sharp cornered stock to fit without the need to have the undercut like you showed with the small diameter rod. Great explanation and concepts. Enjoying your videos.
I've ground plenty of acute vees for sheet metal bending. If you dress the bottom of the wheel at a shallower angle than the vee angle you want. The corner will clear and the faces can be ground with the side of the wheel. Then to accurately center I grind the oversized block to the required dimension ensuring the vee is central using a pin & dti. If an acute vee does not need a sharp corner at the intersection then a flat at the intersection of the vee will also help clear the wheel when grinding the vertical faces and no angle needs to be dressed on thewheel perimeter. I see a few videos of large vee blocks, often they do not need a sharp corner at the base of the vee as they are not designed for small diameters. Having a flat allows the vee blocks to be far smaller whilst still holding the required larger diameters.
This is a really good discussion and I love the idea, I think its something I'm going to look into designing at least one set for myself! Thank you for the video!

i wish you woulda used the indicator to show how perpindicular the rods are to eachother and how paralel they are to the 2nd set, so you could use it to check straightness of the shaft or maybe diameters along the length
I totally understand the way working for yourself effects your communication skills. I was a self employed engineering consultant, working from home for about 12 years. I found my interpretation of other peoples comments started to drift, and my responses were usually not what they were expecting, or I gave them less background information than they needed to understand me, assuming they knew what I was talking about lol. you can only talk to yourself for so long, before your conversations drift from "normal".
Very cool. I'm always looking for 3D printing projects that are functional and not just knickknacks, this would be very useful. I really appreciate your content, it's been a while since I have been able to learn so much machining knowledge from somebody. After over 20 years in the industry it seems like finding pearls of wisdom gets harder and harder but every one of your videos has taught me something new.🙏 Thank You!
As the hex bolt clamping force increases the toes on the base of the blocks would pull in causing distortion on the heal, changing the heights at either ends
Would really love to see the whole process from the 3D printer to assembly, also liked the Noga arm threaded into the round shaft connecting the two V's, very clever
This just adds to my already engrained idea that there is so much more to learn in the world of machining(manufacturing). I've had a lot of people call me an expert or professional, but I don't consider myself as those since I have yet to scratch the surface in what there is to learn. Are most of these skills you've shown in your videos tied into the "Tool & Die" world? If so, I may need to look into another avenue to go down. Thanks for sharing a piece of your mindset with others
I was thinking before you said it, that looks a lot like a rollomatic concentricity gauge! Even used the “rollomatic blue” for the plastic. I’m in endmill manufacturing.
I love a channel from a guy who knows what he is talking about, unlike so many who just picked up a technique and proudly present it to youtube even if they got it all wrong. The likes of Stefan, Mr Crispin, Solid rock and Joe Pie make youtube watchable. Sub coming as soon as i press the comment icon.
This is something I noticed while I was looking for a 3D file I needed on CULTS. I just subscribed to your channel & left a into message on your New Caliper Video… Anyway being new to machining & 3D Printing (I came across several files on CULTS with Mostly FREE 3D Files with various Machining gadgets (similar to what you’ve mentioned here)🤩 I flagged them to check out later, mostly to see which of them I actually needed… BTW: As I just came across yoyr Channel here, I wouldn’t be a good judge if any of your Info Sharing skills have atrophied … But can tell you it’s RIGHT-ON-POINT for my needs..Well Done💯 Respectfully, ☯️ZenModeling☯️
I've seen the rods used for wheel balancing tool but usually mounted on metal struts or plates. This plastic base system could be used to make a balancer too
I'm curious what 3D printer you have. I've been thinking about getting one for quite awhile and I need to make some v blocks just 2 days ago but couldn't do it in time and this would've worked perfectly so I'm ready to buy one and wondered what you would recommend. Thanks for the videos and please continue. I'm so glad I found your channel, easily in my top 3 for excellent machine learning.
If I was buying today , I would probably look at the Bambu that’s become wildly popular. Seems like lots of features for a small amount of money more than others
Quick question, I didn't see you mention it... I'm assuming that there is not very good precision on the heights between the two V blocks? So you could check for concentricity, but not taper?
"CLICK" ...cool, applying kinematic principles to v blocks. Just in the first 4 minutes, a nice idea... because, really, a lot o v block applications are difficult to make properly "kinematic" That sharp corner on the end stop also allows for a nice test for face run-out, if placed near the outside edge?
Thanks for sharing! I wonder if the 3d prints sag under parts weight even in the time scale of one measurement cycle? Breakingtap channel printed some optics mount and complained parts changing shape under force i believe, does it happen within the few minutes we care about?
no alignment needed. even with the two plastic parts been grossly misaligned, the part is still sitting on the rods kinematically. worth pointing out that this is only to be used for runout measuring though
@@adamthemachinist aha, I see! For runout yes, it just spins on the carbide dows. A brilliant solution indeed! Somehow, I was thinking about holding the part flat to the surface. In any case, it is easy to adjust the height of one of the v blocks to get it flat, if that's ever needed.
Rewatching this video few weeks later, having some questions, what are you checking for in setup @6:31? I would be interested in videos of different ways of checking runout as well as other uses you have for v-blocks. Thank You!
I really enjoyed watching this Adam! Excited for more technical videos to come. I appreciate your take on making videos. I agree that it would help me especially to make more technical videos to help me communicate better. P. S. - I probably am not the only one who would appreciate a download link to a sample if you find a way to do that.
Sorry if I missed something, but how do you hold this down with force, say on a mill? Or is this specifically for holding on low impact applications like grinding? Just curious to know because it seems like there would be some deflection when applying a gripping force to the structure. Also, I'm not a machinist so sorry if there is an obvious answer here that I missed :)
Woo! Really clever use of 3d printing, love it! Looking forward to future videos. Congrats on the 3 years self-employed btw, that's an accomplishment that should be celebrated too! 🥳
Please continue making videos. You’re a real professional and an honest broker. Energetically you are diametrically opposed to Titan and it’s really refreshing.

Extremely tiring! Not Adam but the german-seventies-porn-enthusiasm that permeates Titan’s work. However, he (Titan) is doing his thing and is a serious guy; not just for everyone.
Thank you for making the solution approachable. Esp. for a hobbyist, these lower cost solutions let us improve our game affordably.

I am so happy you decided to share some of your knowledge here on youtube! Thankyou Adam
Wonderfully informative. You communication skills are topps.
I totally understand the way working for yourself effects your communication skills. I was a self employed engineering consultant, working from home for about 12 years. I found my interpretation of other peoples comments started to drift, and my responses were usually not what they were expecting, or I gave them less background information than they needed to understand me, assuming they knew what I was talking about lol.
you can only talk to yourself for so long, before your conversations drift from "normal".
really cool idea! I would love to see you set up and measure a part with a few different types to see how repeatable it is
Very informative.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm also a bit of a hermit. It is an intelligent insight you have around social communication.
Glad I found this channel. As a hobbyist machinist, I love learning new things. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more.
Very cool. I'm always looking for 3D printing projects that are functional and not just knickknacks, this would be very useful. I really appreciate your content, it's been a while since I have been able to learn so much machining knowledge from somebody. After over 20 years in the industry it seems like finding pearls of wisdom gets harder and harder but every one of your videos has taught me something new.🙏 Thank You!
Welcome to youtube, and congrats on making it for three years self employed! Loving the channel so far
Awesome! Love your podcast with Josh. Hope to see more of your work here on TH-cam.
Cheers,
Reuben
Adam, great video - very enjoyable and you're doing a great job articulating the concepts, can't wait to learn more.
Great video, however I disagree with one point, your ability to communicate complex technical ideas is superb.
Love the idea, now to figure out how to make sure both ends are at the same height.
Very cool outside the box thinking. Thanks for sharing.
Hey buddy! We started our small machine shops at the same time. I'm glad you wanna make videos as I love good machining content
Thanks Adam, nice. Congrats on your work anniversary. Hadn't appreciated your shop has expanded into what looks like the other side of your garage!
Saw you on Saunders channel, super glad you’re making content. Already know I’m gonna learn a lot.
Cool idea, good explanation, thanks
👍 great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I love it!
Simple, fast, and accurate!
Sweet! 🙂
As the hex bolt clamping force increases the toes on the base of the blocks would pull in causing distortion on the heal, changing the heights at either ends
YES. Really looking forward to more videos, Adam. I've learned a lot from just your instagram, I'm sure I'll learn a lot more here.
I would really love to see you machine stuff, I bet you would be a great learning resource for people just starting up.
would be neat if you could elaborate on how the vee block maintains the accuracy required for the inspection
Interesting. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum 😎
Excellent demonstration!
Awesome idea and a fantastic first video. Solid production value.
Great videos I love your work
Would really love to see the whole process from the 3D printer to assembly, also liked the Noga arm threaded into the round shaft connecting the two V's, very clever
Glad to see you join TH-cam. Looking forward to learn from you.
Instant subscription. Your work and insights consistently peak my interest, looking forward to video content
Wow! Three years! Seems like yesterday you were giving us a tour at your old workplace. Great Video! And congrats on being self employed!
This just adds to my already engrained idea that there is so much more to learn in the world of machining(manufacturing). I've had a lot of people call me an expert or professional, but I don't consider myself as those since I have yet to scratch the surface in what there is to learn. Are most of these skills you've shown in your videos tied into the "Tool & Die" world? If so, I may need to look into another avenue to go down. Thanks for sharing a piece of your mindset with others
Your channel is like hitting the jackpot, great content, thank you
id love to see these on printables
I was thinking before you said it, that looks a lot like a rollomatic concentricity gauge! Even used the “rollomatic blue” for the plastic. I’m in endmill manufacturing.
I learned something. That's great. Many thanks Adam for sharing
I love a channel from a guy who knows what he is talking about, unlike so many who just picked up a technique and proudly present it to youtube even if they got it all wrong.
The likes of Stefan, Mr Crispin, Solid rock and Joe Pie make youtube watchable.
Sub coming as soon as i press the comment icon.
Thank you for sharing!
Awesome! Just the kind of project I'm looking for.
Awesome, will be watching for your next one. Cool stuff
Excellent video, Adam!
Thanks so much for a great video!
My one humble request, audio is king and your shop has a lot of echo, perhaps you could find yourself a lav mic?
Great video Adam, very much looking forward to more content from you.
Cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
This is something I noticed while I was looking for a 3D file I needed on CULTS. I just subscribed to your channel & left a into message on your New Caliper Video… Anyway being new to machining & 3D Printing (I came across several files on CULTS with Mostly FREE 3D Files with various Machining gadgets (similar to what you’ve mentioned here)🤩 I flagged them to check out later, mostly to see which of them I actually needed…
BTW: As I just came across yoyr Channel here, I wouldn’t be a good judge if any of your Info Sharing skills have atrophied …
But can tell you it’s RIGHT-ON-POINT for my needs..Well Done💯
Respectfully,
☯️ZenModeling☯️
Enjoyed Adam!
ATB, Robin
Thanks for jumping on youtube!
I am looking forward to more video content!
I've seen the rods used for wheel balancing tool but usually mounted on metal struts or plates. This plastic base system could be used to make a balancer too
If your ability to communicate (anything) is atrophic, we should be knocking our heads on machine vices...
Happy anniversary sir!
Great ideas.
I really appreciate the distinct lack of guitar riffs.
I've never used a surface grinder would love one but that'll be awhile but I love the design build and execution very well done 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing!
I'm curious what 3D printer you have. I've been thinking about getting one for quite awhile and I need to make some v blocks just 2 days ago but couldn't do it in time and this would've worked perfectly so I'm ready to buy one and wondered what you would recommend.
Thanks for the videos and please continue. I'm so glad I found your channel, easily in my top 3 for excellent machine learning.
If I was buying today , I would probably look at the Bambu that’s become wildly popular. Seems like lots of features for a small amount of money more than others
brilliant!
Quick question, I didn't see you mention it... I'm assuming that there is not very good precision on the heights between the two V blocks? So you could check for concentricity, but not taper?
That’s correct , strictly a concentricity fixture .
This is awesome please more
Very nice, thank you
"CLICK" ...cool, applying kinematic principles to v blocks. Just in the first 4 minutes, a nice idea... because, really, a lot o v block applications are difficult to make properly "kinematic"
That sharp corner on the end stop also allows for a nice test for face run-out, if placed near the outside edge?
Wish I could like this video more than once!
Thanks for sharing! I wonder if the 3d prints sag under parts weight even in the time scale of one measurement cycle? Breakingtap channel printed some optics mount and complained parts changing shape under force i believe, does it happen within the few minutes we care about?
These are great! I'm about to go draw up some of my own, but figured I'd ask... do you have CAD files available somewhere?
Another great idea
How come 2 printed plastic parts have the precision of a v block? Do you adjust the carbide rods somehow to align everything correctly?
no alignment needed. even with the two plastic parts been grossly misaligned, the part is still sitting on the rods kinematically. worth pointing out that this is only to be used for runout measuring though
@@adamthemachinist aha, I see! For runout yes, it just spins on the carbide dows. A brilliant solution indeed! Somehow, I was thinking about holding the part flat to the surface. In any case, it is easy to adjust the height of one of the v blocks to get it flat, if that's ever needed.
Very slick!
Exelent video learning a lot greetings from Bogota Colombia
Super cool to share your knowledge, I'm a long term Instagram follower
Awesome!
More please!
Hello Adam, would you kindly post your STEP or CAD file somewhere? I'd love to adapt this for my use.
Rewatching this video few weeks later, having some questions, what are you checking for in setup @6:31? I would be interested in videos of different ways of checking runout as well as other uses you have for v-blocks.
Thank You!
Awesome content. Great concept. Cant wait to see the upcoming shop tour all 1200 sq ft lol
I really enjoyed watching this Adam! Excited for more technical videos to come. I appreciate your take on making videos. I agree that it would help me especially to make more technical videos to help me communicate better. P. S. - I probably am not the only one who would appreciate a download link to a sample if you find a way to do that.
Great videos, but audio is difficult to hear. Great content .
I suddenly have a new use for the stack of Helical .250" chamfer mills I've saved from past jobs.
Sorry if I missed something, but how do you hold this down with force, say on a mill?
Or is this specifically for holding on low impact applications like grinding?
Just curious to know because it seems like there would be some deflection when applying a gripping force to the structure.
Also, I'm not a machinist so sorry if there is an obvious answer here that I missed :)
Strictly for inspection purposes
@@adamthemachinist Aha! Thanks mate :)
I guess you could also have carbide rods passing eachother offset by the rod diameter...
Im looking forward to more content from a skilled tool maker like yourself.
would you consider posting a STL file
a github repository for neat projets like this would be nice for your viewers. :)
Nice tools! Gained a sub for this vid!
Great video/info….any chance to share the print files?… I hit the sub button and looking forward to future videos…are you posting to Instagram
