Precision Levelling Plate Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ม.ค. 2018
- In this video we start construction of our version of a Brown & Sharpe Levelling plate. This is used on the surface plate to orient parts perfectly parallel or perpendicular to the surface plate plane. Useful for flatness measuring of non parallel surfaces. I show a variety of machining and fabrication techniques and operations. The precision ground flatstones are from Robin Renzetti. Adjustment knobs are 40TPI and made from 642 Bronze. The main plate is 1018 cold rolled steel and will be carburized after machining and then precision ground on the upper surface.
As a retired hobby guy I learn more good work habits and techniques from watching folks like you at work than I get from any book. Thank you for doing the videos!
It is truly amazing that we live in an age where we can watch someone who has perfected their art, in HD and for free. Nice video!
Very educational. Thanks for NOT adding music!
TH-cam’s automatic captions are having trouble for some reason, so here’s a complete transcript: “Ouch. Oops, scoot that out a little. Right. ‘Kay. Twoop!”
you forgot "Mr Bozo said Hi"
Great summary. I think you caught everything.
Cheers,
Tom
Perfect video, no talkin, no music, no Bull, thanks.
Sorry Tom I like hearing your insights on what you’re doing and why how you’re doing it. Never thought I’d be making that comment. 😆
It was really neat to watch the raw performance every now and then to really study technique. Of course now I hunger for some of the explanation. Thank you for this gem.
loved it!
Love your channel, too !
Hey Tony, I noticed your TIG welder is much quieter then Tom's! Worth the mod!
Nice and quiet, no headache.
Thanks
I really like how you just got right down to business in this video.
"Ya kid, you can stay and watch if you stand over there and out of the way." Vivid childhood memory of early learning experiences about how to do things, thank Tom. I also liked the drawbar tighten on the fly.
You sure got that filming down, great close ups and angles, light, sequence , very nice.
I like it when you explain what you're doing.
Tom it consistently amazes me that even without talking, you teach us all so very much, Thank you of r all that you do for us.
The brain learns much more by seeing than listening. Myself I love videos like this. These types of videos make it feel like your right in the room next to him.
Tom not sure what is going on here. I believe the majority here likes your verble touch "RIGHT" I appreciate your talent along with you narriating! Thanks for time and efforts. Joe
Tom, great to see a video from you. Miss the Monday meatloafs on a regular basis. Just wanted to express my appreciation for all the knowledge you have shared over the years. Thanks.
Great to see you machining again. Interesting project.
Great work Tom, I'm looking forward to the next video.
A lot of great techniques presented in this video for setting up stock in the miil. I will be using some tomorrow!! Thanks for passing your knowledge onto the rest of us. Also, that band saw in the beginning is amazing!! Thanks again Tom!
Love watching you work.
Nice project Tom, love that saw.
Even when silent you can teach a lot. Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see the continuation.
Excellent video Tom. I really missed this style of video from you. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks!
As much as I enjoy you talking it's cool to see some fast and simple progress on a project like that, very cool! Looking forward to seeing more of this.
Best video you EVER made! Just meat, no potatoes!
I'm just getting ready to build my own spherometer (base), so the timing of your video is perfect! As always, great content! Thanks Tom!
A notification of ANY new video from you Tom is like getting a gift in the mail, but I have to say I REALLY miss the commentary. While the "how" for a particular project can certainly be picked up from this type of video, when you provide commentary we get the benefit of learning the "why" behind much of it and that is FAR more valuable (for me at least) in learning to think like a machinist myself rather than simply learning to follow the steps to copy someone else's project. There are few others besides Robin and yourself who offer the depth of actual knowledge in your videos so I would hate to miss out on all that wisdom!
Nice approach to every task at hand!
Throughout the video I kept envisioning Tom standing on a sidewalk in white face paint doing everything in the video as a mime.
Patiently observing and not being instructed is a phenomenal way to learn.
Hi mate. A project, whoaa. Boy, how I missed that. I guess we had been too spoiled over the years, with the high video output you had. Thanks mate.
thanks for sharing I love using those plates to check flatness !
That is one pretty adjustment screw. Can't wait to see the Levelling plate in use.
Well there's the proof, actions speak louder than words, nice job so far Tom.
glad you are back.. thanks for the video..
Amazing, I could watch this for hours.
Love this format.
Awesome video. It was definitely mesmerizing to watch
wonderful fabrication , as always.
Thank you for sharing this lovely project
Most definitely heard an almost inaudible "sweet" when checking threading fit. Very sweet indeed Tom. THX.
I like the talking. I liked this, too...... but I like the talking. I learn more when you talk.
To be fair, I really hate it when some folks on some other channels talk ten minutes for each five of machining - sure, I love to learn, and it's great to know why they do things not only what they do, but ffs some really just loooove hearing their own voice. That said, some talking wouldn't have hurt this vid but it's ok, I liked it either way...
Love this guy ! Sounds like an old ideal arc welder...I wish I was taught from a master like this guy
Enjoyed the meditative atmosphere in this one for a change. It sounded like it sounds when I'm working (alone) in the shop just enjoying without speaking. Thanks and a Happy New Year!
You do know your way around a TIG torch, no doubt. Excellent, thx for sharing. ☺
Great job so far Tom, another great addition to the machine shop precision tools list. Well done mate
Sir... you're my role model when it comes to tidyness and metal
Love your vids Tom. You are crazy fast w your set up and mill work. Fun watching you work.
Magic! Everything is nice and clear, perfect gesture, mesmerizing!
Thanks Tom, very nice video.
Have really missed your videos. Hope you will get back on a schedule putting them out. BTW Like it better when you talk and explain as you go because that way you always made sure to note the really important parts plus you gave out some great tips. Be watching for your next video.
Cheers,
John
Those super fine precision threads are phenomenal too, btw
Very nice, part 2 to follow soon, I hope.
Without saying a word I learned so much just on setup and fixtures wow 😮
Yes!! more videos like this please! Less talk, more machine.
OOoo that bit at the end, so satisfying!
Hi from the UK , sort of silent movies ! Brilliant keep up this most excellent output .
Regards
Robert

As always love your videos. Wordless was a fun change of pace, but I enjoy the narrations as well.
Superb. Professional editing, many many techniques, no commentary. A demo to the wise is sufficient.
This is a great instructional video. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the completeness of information.
Ha , Funny how when no words are spoken . NOW they pay attention. Happy new year Tom!
Great to see you back at the grind...hard at work almost speechless!
Nice! Absolutely love videos without talking.
Very Nice Tom, chock full of great techniques for those paying attention. You had me looking to see if my vise wrench was still here. Thanks for the stone plug and nice carrier for them. Great to have a video without all that incessant babbling like that ROBRENZ guy!
ATB, Robin
ROBRENZ are those stones available?!?
They will be soon, I will do another video when they are available.
I need to get myself a set of those as well.
ROBRENZ, Are the people that inquired about the stones when you presented them still on the list buddy?
Hi Robin, love to hear you babbling, the more the better
Always interested in what you have to say.....but what you very cool too.
Thank You Mr Wizard.
Jim
Bravo Maestro. Narration not required. Thanks for sharing.
Very artsy, love the videography!
This was another amazing video Tom! keep up the awesome work ! I learn so much from your videos and one day hope to be as good as you!
This is amazing. It's like if Primitive Technology was just "Technology."
Likey the format. Nice editing !
Nice project! First I wondered why on earth you'd make that since the same can be done on 3 individual points, but then it came to me that there's small parts too :) Keep em coming please
The Marcel Marceau of the TH-cam machining community. Nicely done.
Unbelievably enjoyable just watching the work without words. I love Keith Fenner but I’ll be damned if I don’t find myself fast forwarding through some of his narratives and saying to myself, “Just get on with it.”
Less talking, more work! I like that. And hey NO phone. I wish I could teach that to some of the guys at work.
Good one.
Love that little trick at the end to get that litte "nubin" off!
Turning is always my fav part tom. Saludos
It makes a nice pattern as well as being functional.
I think.
ANOTHER GREAT ADDITION !!
Less Babble More Cobble. I like it!
Thanks Tom
Enjoyed. Thanks Tom.
Been going through Lipton withdraw , gives us a fix , with no fun . Glad your making a new tool .
Beautiful. Makes me feel like an apprentice soaking it up when the shop master doesn't know I'm watching.
Lipton's instrumental Prelude in A2
No fair writing (keep) on the stock blank, ruins Mr Bozo's chances of a fun surprise! Always a pleasure to see a new one of your videos. Picked up lots of useful techniques.
There was a big dent in one corner of the plate that Mr Bozo noticed and wanted me to use.
Mesmerizing
Great stuff
Great work and procedure, and tips. Without voice, ya really have to pay attention and not zone out. Cool touch
Thumbs up for trying something different, but I must say I prefer when you narrate the action...
Changing tool on knee mill.
Tom engage the tool with three turns and turn the spindle on an just touch with his right hand the draw bar.
This set the tool in to the R8 spindle.
Turn spindle off hold spindle break and finish tighten with a 3/4 inch box end wrench.
A masterpiece
Perfect!
It looks like I am in the minority here but, as a noob to metal working I miss his comments on how and why he is doing something the way that he is. I feel that when I understand why choices are made to do something I remember it when I need to do it, Just my 2 cents worth.
Hi Robert, as a machinist student about to graduate, I recommend you keep watching Tom's other videos. He definitely can talk, but this demonstration of pure Making was transcendent. Thank you, Tom. Anyhow, there are an amazing array of techniques explained here and elsewhere on TH-cam's machinist community; keep watching, and always keep learning.
enjoyed thanks.
Really good video. I often find trying to listen while watching kind of difficult. The only way I can think of to improve this video would to be to add just a couple text screens to mention important points (such as material selection, or why you chose a particular procedure). I think I learned a good bit from this one.
Two thumbs up if I had the choice, interesting and self explanatory.
Sweet!
You don’t know how much you love something until it’s gone 🤭
How pleasant.... a lot like Myford Boy. Silence is golden :) ... really enjoy your channel !
We can see that Tom must of been good at assembling those red and white blocks when he was young. :)
Old grumpy man in his natural habitat:-) +1
Dang you got some nice tool's
Hi Tom
New style of videos ... nor talking, just get it done !
