Sns is my Sunday morning special with a cup of coffee. I wish I had your attention to detail. The work you're willing to put in for something as simple as washers. No cut corners on this chanel its always done right
What a Team you two are. Awesome camerawork. Awesome handy work. Awesome. Thank you for keeping us sane in these crazy times. It's always a pleasure watching a master at work, the fluidity of movement, the impeccable tools, it's a joy forever.
Adam, you have become a wholesome part of everyday life for gearheads like me all over the world. Your content, including us in day to day shop stuff etc., Abby is awesome, and you have done a damn good job growing the channel. Congratulations man.
Thank God for the little ball on the end of the De burring tools, the amount of times I've jumped out of enclosure holes and slid across the painted face is scary, the engineer who put that ball on there has saved me a lot of time with the touch up brush
For some reason i find machining and you talking about machining extremely calming. Fall asleep after 5mins when i try and watch your videos in the evening. Great channel
As a person that has temporarily lost their job because of this pandemic I greatly appreciate the extra time and effort you are putting in to getting these extra videos out!
Virtual man hug to you and anyone else who has lost their livelihood/job during this pandemic. I hope your country is supporting you financially at this time. Hoping that those who are in the same boat will be back in full employment in weeks
Amazing how beautiful some of the things you make are. My father owned an engine machine shop for 40ish years. I worked for him for awhile doing mostly cylinder head rebuilding and machining. The most satisfying thing to do is machine a head or deck a block. Just watching as the mill slowly took away material was fascinating to see. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to see how precise machining is and how much knowledge, skill, and patience is required.
Glad to see your K+T get one step closer to perfection. I was wondering where the 480V situation was going to relate to the Mill, so our two-year wait is over! Great Fix!
Although the heat treat specs for that steel may call for a long soak at temperature, that is for larger or thick sections. If you are doing small things like washers, screws and bolts, they don't have enough mass to warrant such a long soak, which can also result in enlarged grain growth, weakening the parts. For such small parts, 5-10 minutes is fully sufficient to bring the entire part to temperature and you can quench immediately.
with reference to the oliver, normally with flat belt drives there is an adjustment to tilt the pulley, if there isn't an adjustment, i wonder if the bearing is worn which would lower that end of the shaft, though it would have to be a lot of wear. I would leave that oliver on high voltage, the starter coil may be rated for that voltage and may not operate on the lower voltage.
Thank you for a really great video, just love your new apron and the updates on your machinery! You and Abby be safe ! Again thank you for taking the time to make these videos . You both are in our prayers !
Just a tip. I wrap my parts in several layers of paper then,seal them in stainless steel foil. The reason for this is to keep oxygen away from the parts. The paper will burn up the oxygen inside the packet.Kind of like using a atmospere controlled furnace without the expense.
Absolutely love your videos! Very educational and fun to watch. I'm starting out in the machining industry and your videos are helping me learn quickly. Keep up the good work!
More heat treating notes, you can see in the video that the firebrick insulated part of your washer, it's coming out yellow, rather than red. It's either less oxidized, or perhaps not as hot? I'm sure you're going to get differential hardening again there. I'd recommend a little wire hanging rack for these. On the tempering step, you don't quench, better to just shut off the oven and let them cool slowly. One thing you might like to try, it to plumb a few cfh of argon into the oven. Should keep the oxidization to an absolute minimum. Also, cutting that fire brick produces nasty black lung dust, b careful!
Look for a air bubble in the hydraulic line, that looks like a air in the high point of the pressure side, it's acting like an accumulator and until the air is equal pressure if wont move. That why the handle is slowly going down slowly, it's building pressure
The apron is very nice. I would like to suggest some break away snaps on the straps. That way if it ever gets caught in a piece of equipment it will rip off rather than pulling your head into it.
Thank you very much for your videos. My lathe is in storage and don't have a shop right now. So I am living vicariously through you projects. Nice apron, but I like with the separated leggings so that you can bend down or kneel much easier than a full apron.
Your hydraulic issue might be a leaking check valve. Steve Summers had the same issue I think with the oil pump to the coolant system, the valve allowed the oil to drain back to the reserve tank, meaning the pump had to refill the oiling system every start. If your machine has a check valve, it may be worn or not seating properly on its seat. HTH
Abom79, You are truly a master of your craft. Your dedication to and appreciation for your work is so inspiring to watch! I really appreciate how you continue to learn, grow, and adapt. Thank you so much for creating this content. I have been watching for about a year and a half now, and I look forward to many more.
4K camera is excellent, Adam. Clarity is fantastic, and content is great as always. You have helped me a lot in my understanding of machining and helped me spend a lot of money on my hobby!
Sometimes you use coolant. Sometimes you don't. I sure wish you would add a little comment each time you machine something as to why [or why not] you choose to use coolant on a job. Otherwise, great job as usual. I learned three new shop tricks from you today!
I've come terms with my jealousy of your skills, machines, tools, experience, demeanor and good looks. Now I've got to struggle with being jealous of a doggone APRON. That thing is the bee's pajamas bro!
My apron (mostly for wood working) had pockets but the lower ones kept catching chips & saw dust. I took the stitching out of the bottom pockets so everything could fall through.
Did you really just say "I can visually hear a difference"??? OMG....that sounds like something I would say😂 I have been doing this stuff for 31 years...and I love it... It makes me happy to see folks excited about their tools and taking pride in their work. Thank you for your videos.
Nice apron , if you want to copy my Grandfather Ben’s who had a line shaft machine shop in western Canada . Cut an eclipse at your neck to allow you to look all the way down , cut the sides back in a long sweeping arch from 8 inches down from your armpit in a sine wave all the way to your knees, put a vee in the front so whenever you kneel down your knees are on the Leather not the stone ! I am a retired engineer, trained in Canada from the 70’s when we had to actually learn to make things and not just manipulate programs to get an answer. My grandfather had a shop with a forge and a sand casting floor, he fixed things by casting a part and machining it , heat treating it and making it better than original! I like your apron but it’s a bit clumsy, the old guys had it down , everything worked perfectly. My sister Marion has his workshop apron, I have my dads coveralls! Cheers ! Hope this helps , and ho gets sciving knife and thin out your pencil pouch and pockets edge!
Adam, you need some labels saying there are two feeds to that mill. Somebody in the future could unplug the 220 and think the mill is dead only to be blasted by 480. Label the 480 cord, the 220 cord, the 480 outlet and the 220 outlet as well as signs on the mill near each motor. Great job getting everything up and running
@@Abom79 Adam, I just want you and others to be safe when you have to separate power plugs you have to be careful. If you already did it, thank you. I love seeing you and Abby growing yourselves so well.
Best metal workers apron i've seen ... i dont like anything hanging around my neck .. over the shoulder with the 4 way grip at the back looks very practical and comfortable.
Awesome clip, enjoyed watching. The apron is nice too and functional, you do a lot of welding so the leather will provide good protection. Looking forward to your next projects and the machining of those crown profiles on the two wheels of the Oliver drill grinder. Thank you from New Zealand.
You may need a soft start for the bit sharpener to keep it from throwing the belt on start up. Always check the wiring on the motors on new machines to see what voltage it is wired for before you plug them in !!! A couple of times I have sent motors in to be rewound that were sent in as 480 volt motors and the company that rewound them had 240 three phase test benches. They rewound the motors and tested them with 240 three phase and did not reconnect them for 480 when they returned them. They blamed us for not checking their work. We did not use them again but I learned to check first.
Adam, I have enjoyed several of your videos(starting w/#300). In your recent update you mentioned a pair of interesting problems w/your Kearney&Treacker voltage and knee hydraulic pressure. Please look for a clogged filter, debris in a oil routing block, sticking solenoids, or as simple as a partially crushed or deformed hyd. line. As for the motor voltage, it can be changed. Please check the motor data plate rivetted to the motor, if it is dual voltage capable it will show two sets of Volts and Amps stamped into it. Please note direction motor turns as wired before removal. If there is open the electrical connection box, (remove the motor if needed keeping the drive pulley on if possible.Get it out and on a bench for ease of making several electrical connections.) If there are 9 wires coming from inside the motor, and there are still ledgable motor lead #'s #1,#2 are power (turning wrong way, swap any two of 1,2 or 3 to correct rotation direction) of the rest join 4&7, 5&8 as well as 6&9 to configure the motor to run on the high voltage of 480vac. The motor data plate should confirm this, if the internal leads don't have readable numbers, a motor rebuild shop locally will easily be able to wring out & renumber the leads. The up side to going to the high voltage configuration is the cost savings of operation. What I mean is Double the Voltage and Halve(1/2) the Amperage drawn by this same motor to do the same work. We all pay for the power we use. Amperage is the amount of power being used, and what spins that electric meter. Check if your transformer has the capability of supplying the added power draw of the spindle drive motor, if your electrical wiring, switches/contactor's can be used safely. Please follow the National Electrical code for wire and switch sizing. Good luck, be safe and careful. Do this right it will serve you well. RWF
regarding the foam block and washers, i would have just laid them on a brick with loops of stainless safety wire, so you can grab them by the wire and dunk them that way. this also prevents there being a weird spot on the finished part where you were holding it with the pliers. some tips for using the wire: always use at least two loops, and don't twist the wire too tightly because it will break at that point when you're swirling it around the tank.
I dearly envy the great skill of this machinist, and wish I could have had such training. It was what I was created for and although I was collegiate educated, God kept leading me back to machinery, and tooling.
The pressure gauge is installed in the central test point (feed pressure) out of 3 test points right? If you move it in the bottom test point (constant pressure), it should read 200-225 psi when the machine is powered. The adjustment for the relief valve is under a large pipe plug that is under the rapid feed lever box. There's 2 of them, it's the one toward the front. Also if I got the correct manual, the feed system on your machine should be equipped with an hydraulic accumulator, and if the accumulator has burst, or just vented out from age, although it appears to use springs and not gas, that would totally explain the problems you having. I'm like 90% sure it's the accumulator. It's supposed to let you use the feed for a little bit after stopping the machine. Now it's doing the opposite...
l Love how you share your fine shop with us....l thank you for it...Man 0 man you getting set super nice my friend....Thanks God Bless you and yours....!
I think I would have just switched the K&T spindle motor to high voltage too so you could keep it on just one circuit. I think it would be safer in case the spindle tripped the mains the whole machine would shut down instead of still having the feed motor trying to jam something though the spindle with it off. Lots of shop progress!
You can use a dremmel with a stone tip to thin out the top of the pen and pencil pocket to make them easier to clip in to place. Don't do a deep area though or it will just be really easy to stretch and will become a bother. Also, if you lowered the hand pockets so that the TOP of the pockets are at or just below your belt line, that will conquer the problem of items or tools slipping out when you bend over but will still keep them within hands reach.
Adam, probably too late but before redoing those pulleys use a straightedge from the top and bottom pulleys to determine if all four surfaces are in line. Also, the axis of the pulleys affect how a belt rides, sometimes over riding the above rule. Keep up the good work, gets us old timers through the days.... Ron in Kingsburg, CA
Sure makes me feel better that others have at least some form of ocd 😂 even though mine is way worse. Ya know, the kind that makes you have to keep things clean and orderly, doing things the right way every time even if it takes longer. Not the check the door locks 100 times a night or not stepping on cracks on the sidewalk type. Love your work and love your channel. Keeping up on all the new videos usually same day and going back to the beginning and working my way forward in the meantime. Going to get myself a lathe and mill here pretty quick to add to my 5x5 CNC router. This is a perfect hobby for a perfectionist and gear head like myself. I can only build so many race engines to serve the need so this will fit my shop perfectly. Keep it up! Thanks!
Adam, I'm a little late to the party but consider just adjusting the motor on the Oliver. It appears that the pulley end of the motor needs to be lowered and/or the motor end needs to be raised. I have recently repaired a small diamond band saw with similar issues. Just from looking at where the belt was sitting on all of the pulleys, that looks like the issue. I'm NOT saying you are wrong, your diagnosis may be the problem! Especially with that piece of equipment being as old as it is! I just wanted to give you another option. And my thoughts on the K&T feed pressure delay, it seems like it could be a sticking "pilot" valve/ shuttle valve or maybe a blown/torn O-ring in the pressure supply line from the feed source. Just an outside perspective. As always, I love all of your content! I have watched every episode for the past 3 years and have watched every video since the first one you made! You are my definition of a binge worthy TH-cam creator!!! Stay safe and healthy in these uncertain times! Dan @6-4_Fab Glen Rock, PA USA
When you showed the Oliver's belt and pulley problem the first person to pop into my head was Dave Richards. If anyone can help you with a flat belt issue it's him.
cool videos! always interesting, I make pocket knives myself and do all the heat treatment,I'm no expert but I can tell you that for carbon steels quenched in oil you have to be quick to get the parts out of the oven before they drop temperature before the rapid quench, also and I believe you do, preheat the oil a little, this makes the oil thin enough to move faster to dissipate the heat quick enough, you may need to verify the temperature of your oven also. keep up the good work!
I used to grind my drill bits just eye- balling them at angle according to what I was drilling. My employer in the saw and grinding shop always had me do grinding jobs that were requiring accuracy, because my "one-eyed" view and hand co-ordination was correct.
I accurately ground blanks to satisfaction of engineers, for crown moulding shaper bits for obsolete shapes for borders of Old Governor's mansion in Des Moines, IA>

Got to love getting a shop set up properly and the way you want and need it to be.
Man you know your stuff! Always neat to what all goes into machine work. I like that leather apron.
The apron is very nice. I would like to suggest some break away snaps on the straps. That way if it ever gets caught in a piece of equipment it will rip off rather than pulling your head into it.
I like the apron, Adam, but in my shop, I really like having that top pocket to swing out when I bend over to keep from dumping my stuff.
Better to dump stuff out than getting yourself caught in something spinning
Really appreciate the videos. These are high quality and I'm sure they take up lots of your time. Thanks
Really agree. We are lucky to have you Adam.
Thank you, nice to read a positive comment without of the critics
Thank you very much for your videos. My lathe is in storage and don't have a shop right now. So I am living vicariously through you projects. Nice apron, but I like with the separated leggings so that you can bend down or kneel much easier than a full apron.

I'm like 90% sure it's the accumulator. It's supposed to let you use the feed for a little bit after stopping the machine. Now it's doing the opposite...
You beat me to it...I agree, look at the accumulator
l Love how you share your fine shop with us....l thank you for it...Man 0 man you getting set super nice my friend....Thanks God Bless you and yours....!
Trimming those washers in the vice....never thought of that. Still learning from your videos. Thanks for that info.''''''''''''ooo
Sounds like you and Abby are doing well, you both appear to be in good spirits. Thank you for continuing to make quality content. Be safe.
Nice apron very practical and like you mentioned you'll stay cleaner.
Always learning something new when I watch one of you videos.
Thanks Adam and stay safe!
Looking sharp in that apron!
I think I would have just switched the K&T spindle motor to high voltage too so you could keep it on just one circuit. I think it would be safer in case the spindle tripped the mains the whole machine would shut down instead of still having the feed motor trying to jam something though the spindle with it off. Lots of shop progress!
That's one hell of a nice shop apron, Adam. Reminds me of a blacksmith's or farrier's apron.
Nice Apron. It looks like it would also be good protection for forging or casting.
Looking forward to when you get the Carlton radial arm drill press set up & running. Great videos/
Really good SNS. I have always enjoyed your presentations. Thanks .. be safe and wish you and your family well.
I'd like to see how you re crown those pulleys, thanks for the updates, great videos.
Hurschel Hardesty me too
You can use a dremmel with a stone tip to thin out the top of the pen and pencil pocket to make them easier to clip in to place. Don't do a deep area though or it will just be really easy to stretch and will become a bother. Also, if you lowered the hand pockets so that the TOP of the pockets are at or just below your belt line, that will conquer the problem of items or tools slipping out when you bend over but will still keep them within hands reach.
Adam, probably too late but before redoing those pulleys use a straightedge from the top and bottom pulleys to determine if all four surfaces are in line. Also, the axis of the pulleys affect how a belt rides, sometimes over riding the above rule.
Keep up the good work, gets us old timers through the days....

Great getting everything ready and where you want it and to make things easier thanks Larry
Sure makes me feel better that others have at least some form of ocd 😂 even though mine is way worse. Ya know, the kind that makes you have to keep things clean and orderly, doing things the right way every time even if it takes longer. Not the check the door locks 100 times a night or not stepping on cracks on the sidewalk type. Love your work and love your channel. Keeping up on all the new videos usually same day and going back to the beginning and working my way forward in the meantime. Going to get myself a lathe and mill here pretty quick to add to my 5x5 CNC router. This is a perfect hobby for a perfectionist and gear head like myself. I can only build so many race engines to serve the need so this will fit my shop perfectly. Keep it up! Thanks!
Thank you for all the great input 👍stay safe and keep well. 👍👍👍👍
Adam now you look like a professional machinist with you new APRON. All you need now is matching Hat and Gloves.
Adam, I'm a little late to the party but consider just adjusting the motor on the Oliver. It appears that the pulley end of the motor needs to be lowered and/or the motor end needs to be raised. I have recently repaired a small diamond band saw with similar issues. Just from looking at where the belt was sitting on all of the pulleys, that looks like the issue. I'm NOT saying you are wrong, your diagnosis may be the problem! Especially with that piece of equipment being as old as it is! I just wanted to give you another option. And my thoughts on the K&T feed pressure delay, it seems like it could be a sticking "pilot" valve/ shuttle valve or maybe a blown/torn O-ring in the pressure supply line from the feed source. Just an outside perspective. As always, I love all of your content! I have watched every episode for the past 3 years and have watched every video since the first one you made! You are my definition of a binge worthy TH-cam creator!!! Stay safe and healthy in these uncertain times! Dan @6-4_Fab Glen Rock, PA USA
Lovely words of comfort at the end for those in hard times due to Covid.
We appreciate Your efforts, thanks for sharing.
great SNS. love the apron and your shop.
Congratz Adam on 400k subs ! Keep 'em coming !
Nothing like those specific purpose, hardened, "tooling" washers. Cool analysis of the drive belt problem. One step further on the K&T!
When you showed the Oliver's belt and pulley problem the first person to pop into my head was Dave Richards. If anyone can help you with a flat belt issue it's him.
cool videos! always interesting, I make pocket knives myself and do all the heat treatment,I'm no expert but I can tell you that for carbon steels quenched in oil you have to be quick to get the parts out of the oven before they drop temperature before the rapid quench, also and I believe you do, preheat the oil a little, this makes the oil thin enough to move faster to dissipate the heat quick enough, you may need to verify the temperature of your oven also. keep up the good work!
The only YT video maker whom I watch so intently that my coffee gets cold, and damn but it has to be a man presenting it. Don't tell my friends.
Gotta say your assistant is doing a great job... :-)
I used to grind my drill bits just eye- balling them at angle according to what I was drilling.
My employer in the saw and grinding shop always had me do grinding jobs that were
requiring accuracy, because my "one-eyed" view and hand co-ordination was correct.
