I love the videos! My Dad is a manual machinist.He has machined parts from the Corsair jet to the space shuttles. Most of the metals were top secret at that time. He finally started machining parts privately for the pump industry in the early 80's. There is nothing like seeing a manual machinist perform this art at 81 years old. I have more respect for the manual Machinist that still does this, compared to today"s CNC operators.
I enjoy your description of the process in each of your videos. I am the son of a machinist and appreciate and understand the tolerances being worked with. Great Work.
In reply to your comment on long extended videos, I'd just like to say I agree with your comments, Truck hitch & crane build Ep2.I watch your channel quite a lot ,although I was a diesel fitter/ bus mechanic all mu working life, my father was a Jig & Press tool maker,and could work on every machine in an engineering environment, he worked for Mappin & Webb in Sheffield England the well known Silver Smiths , I was never interested in engineering like my father I was the fixer and repairer but now I'm much older 66, I love watching any kind of engineering , lathe work. Keep up the good work matey, do what you think is right, I love it very informative. Just wish I'd got a lathe. All the best Paul Yorkshire UK.
Adam, I have followed your channel for years now. Have learned a lot, from this channel and others. Thank you. Just wanted to say that the care and attention to detail in presenting your projects ( camera work, lighting, narrative, etc.) sets your videos apart from many others. Well done. Stay safe. Be well. Salut
I'd just like to say that I find these videos very enjoyable and relaxing to watch. There are a lot of TH-camrs who could learn from your style, content and approach. Much appreciated. (Whitchurch, Shropshire, England).
Well, that was nice. I have to go out in the garage now and stand on one foot while I hold down a lawn mower blade with the other and try to file out the nicks and gouges with a rusty old file. Precision work, you know.
Thank you for the video Adam! To steal an expression...16:25 "Engage your safety squints!" You can tell how stout that old Mag Dill is when you are putting that much Abom torque on it!!
At the start of your videos I'm always like, "There's no way to fix that." Thirty minutes later I'm like "That's fing unbelieveable!" Awesome craftsmanship Adam!
Adam you can also put some metal die in the spaces that you are thinking of drilling out instead and the areas that are below the surface to enhance the machined areas like the beginning of each video showing different colors of metal in the background. Color always brings out the beauty and craftsmanship of metal work.
Abom, I understand that you gotta do the jobs that come in however, you gotta know how many car guys out there would love to see more content like this. Anyway, awesome content!
I agree! What I’d really love to see is some pistons and a camshaft machined from scratch! I know a cam would be quite the project but definitely do-able with time & patience and it would be an amazing process to watch. Seeing the order of operations, how the workpiece has to be chucked up to cut the lobes & how the lobes are actually cut, etc.
@@kcscustom9759 Comp Or Edelbrock did a video like that years ago. Edit: Found one from Comp www.dragzine.com/features/shop-tours/comp-cams-shows-how-a-camshaft-is-made/
What a cool concept to be able to machine your own square from a blank casting. That actually sounds like great fun ! I can picture Adam roughing in his castings on the shaper, than hand scraping them to his own “good enough” . 😎 If that didn’t make sense, it’s ok, I’m not a machinist, lol

Outstanding machined result....and even better cinematography.....!!! Soon be time for a brisket on the grill????
one of the things that blows my mind with this machinists stuff is the sheer number of specialist tools. You would have to have mountains of them and then keeping track of where they are and what use cases there are for them would hurt my head, love your work mate.
@Abom79 That radius tool at 06:44 is that some sort of coating making it that golden colour or is it an alloy ? On the Starrett Athol bench vise, how is it that there's a Rotation clamp on the right-hand side of the turntable but a hex nut on the left ? How does that operate ?
I've been really enjoying! all the Automotive work you've been shooting recently. I would love to see more and especially if you could get/share the installed parts on the car!
Nice work. Those bushings should be a press fit in the arm though. That things gonna beat it self to death and most likely egg the whole in the arm out
nice Starrett vice i like your mag drill with the old Black & Decker drill in use i haven't seen one of those in at least 25 yrs, when they were built to last and that deburring tool i have one for aluminum and metal work they are fantastic great video as usual, look forward to the next one always good content, one thing that hot metal coming off machines will damage your camera lens i found out the hard way, just passing it on
Thanks, Adam. Now I learned why they’re called “123” blocks; I thought maybe it was because it made certain shop tasks “as easy as 1-2-3”! It didn’t occur to me that the ratio of the sides was 1:2:3! 😁
@@robinturner2300 True, but that's not how they were named, which was the OP's original statement. By that logic, a 2"x4"x6" block is also a 123 block, which it obviously isn't.
For sure on case hardened materials the tough part is getting through that first bit and the rest is a walk in the park eh. I have had some success using Rapid Tap as a sort of stress remover type lube. Every time I see that 6 jaw I start drooling. 15 years of retirement I soooo way to turn the clock back and get two of them for my 2 lathes. One came home with me. I would have gotten the other but a 10 foot X 20" won't fit in the garage eh. Excellent job bud.
I worked as a welder/ fabric in a ship yard in Dublin Ireland when we had one back in 1990. Wow you turner guys used to spin my head with your talk off microns. With me it was a mill here as there 😁 sure I'll fill it with weld.
I grew up in Massachusetts. I knew there were tool manufacturers there, but I'm always amazed by the number of tools I see here that came from MA (and New England, in general) back in the day.
@@boaterbil All round McPherson strut, Abom had a right rear without abs, could be for an AW11 or SW20, the snap over steer is fun in the second gen SW20, but was "tuned" out in the 3rd gen SW20. The American market missed out on the turbo version of the SW20.
Seems super strange that the red bushes are such a loose fit in the aluminum arms.. I'd have thought they would want them to be a press fit so that the spherical center is the only part doing the moving. But maybe im looking at it wrong. Love your work man!!!
Is there not some critical reduction of strength, in machining down those aluminum control arms? I would think that there is a possibility that they were cast larger to compensate for the weakness of the metal (compared to steel).
On the topic of vices, what's your opinion on a Rock Island No. 572 bench vice? My dad's had one on his work bench forever and the same for his dad too. It's in relatively good shape and I'm kinda thinking about tearing it down and cleaning it up.
I would get a touch nervous modifying suspension, brake, or steering parts for customers. There would be a clause in bold at the bottom of the receipt to cover my arse in case the component failed.
Exactly my thoughts! I’m a 3rd generation mechanic and I can tell you this is not going to work! Definitely not designed for the aluminum arm for a reason.
@@MaxPower_Designs Yeah, usually if a bushing slides in a control arm like that, somebody needs a new control arm, or got the wrong parts. I guess we'll have to wait for an answer from whoever owns these things.
Adam can i have the part number of the recycling face mill? I have so many CNMG inserts around the shop it would keep that facemill going for years. Thanks for sharing the content.
Adam, I'm surprised to see an auto part (the "axle" pieces) that are RC 60+. That seems like it could too easily crack with the loads & stresses that it would experience in use? But I believe you since your hardness files don't lie. Thanks for showing the small machining projects in this video!
you mentioned possible production work on the AL control arms. I know you don't normally use flycutters, but this would be a great time to use a flycutter with an HSS cutter. You could machine it dry and one pass is faster than two :-)
When you were turning the radius in the axles, you forgot to mention that with the tool upside down, you run the lathe in reverse. I know it, but someone new might not get that. You didn't get to any viewer mail either, or is there going to be a part 2? I loved it regardless, certainly did have the classic sns feel to it.
I've seen that technique used when turning bronze or cast iron, mainly because otherwise you'll need a face shield over the goggles over the glasses, and it rains chips all over the shop.
I noticed that too and also know it's self explanatory. I've put cutters in upside down wanting to turn in reverse and out of mindless habit and lack of awareness turned it on "normally" except it don't cut so good then and I've said to myself: Who's the idiot? ----> this guy... so you see it ultimately does end up being self explanatory 😛...
Great Video! Adam what is the name of that face mill? I know you mentioned it in your CNMG video. I tried to look up disco tech but no luck. I’m sure I’m spelling it wrong🤪 Thanks, Jon
Adam, I noticed that vise only has three mounting ears. Do most Vise’s only have three? I bought a small Bessey vise a while back and it only has three as well. When I took it out of the box and saw three, I took it back. The guy at the counter pulled another out of the box before I left and found it only had three and we assumed that was normal. Any idea why only three? All four corners would make more sense to me.
Real big problem with those lower control arms you are machining. While you have a great fit on the bushing. The factory bushings are press fit not to roll around inside like that. It is going to change the pivot point of the arm, and wear the hole out. The load and pivot point is at the bolt hole. No fault of yours Adam. Just the people wanting this done are making a mistake having it just slide in instead of a mild press fit.
@nick payne no place for a sleeve, would need to make the hole larger, and then there would be a problem of strength. Wonder if the guy doesn't know what he's doing or there is something else planned, like boding the bushing in the bore.
Thats about the coolest fn thing Ive seen for A arm custom jobs in a long time, I want to do Hyme Joints front & rear while extending them out / longer for mine, All I have to do now is Win the lottery to afford it lol! Stay safe Abom79! Keep up the great work!!
Hi Adam. Please do not use the Noga deburring hooks up against yourself, unless you have your leather apron on, I have had one (not Noga brand) snap and give ma a pretty serious cut. Thanks for the ongoing output, I have binge watched this channel from start to current, your machining ethics are excellent, your video production quality is outstanding, please keep up the good work and please, please stay safe.
What an honorable idea for a TH-cam "content creator", actually use his/her SKILLS to sell tools/merchandise that actually can be used in order to provide a revenue stream, instead of always begging for patreon money, or selling clothes/mugs, etc. Hats off to Fireball tools/Randy Rickards, and it is very nice to see this skillful marketing for a change.
They could have at least come with snap rings that have a taper on one side to hold them somewhat tight in the control arms. That's a really loose fit.
You should show us some close-up, maybe microscopic images if possible of what the difference is between results using various cutting liquids in your work. Tap magic, cutting oil, no oil, etc.

I looked that Athol vice up because Athol is a historical name from Scotland and the Isle of Man. The guy who named that town was John Murray. Many of the Atholl Lords of Man's last name was Murray. They spent a lot of time in the jail or on the block. Backed the wrong side.
When you machine that part (for the oilseal), won't you seriously weaken it, compared to the original ? It will break off at the sharp edge, as soon as it is put under severe driving conditions ?!
Are you writing a repair order or job sheet for all this projects Years ago i had done so many jobs people would come back and say hey you know that job you did for me i have another one Not remembering exactly how much time I spent doing looking back i wish i did keep better log of all the jobs ive done and what it was i did

@@hjvisagie He would know that also and should spin up a better bushing. Should be shrink fit.
nothing short of road bling, having working in motorsport ,that is a no no.. lack of interference fit will in deed cause further problems.
I believe the seal at the hub is just a dust shield since you don't have to add oil to the bearing hub.
It depends if the bearings are sealed or not, they usually do have a grease seal but not always.

Heat treat is for the CV joint in the end, not the surface for the oil seal.

That was my first thought too. I pretty sure these are supposed to press in other wise these will just be sloppy ovals after a while.
I am with you on that !
You mentioned aluminium is difficult to work with the tearing and galling, does it get better to work with when it's Rockwell hardness goes up?
aluminums hardness is far less than steel, its nice to work with he mentioned its sticky and galling because of his tool bit selection.
Fantastic video
That logo came out great!
Much use as a Chocolate Tea Pot. Even En16 T to Condition R snaps easy enough.

Hey Adam, What is the tool holder number and insert you are using for cutting the radius?
wish it was filmed in 3 d when you were turning the axle hub ,, the way the chips went towards the camera ,, looked good
You are the embodiment of measure twice, cut once. Should be showing these vid's at the Technical Colleges.
If it is an MR2 wouldn't those be the rear axles?
there from a ford..fomoco cast in arms..
do you need to heat treat a part like that to get it back to the original hardness?
Nice little job of “fittin’”! 👍

Thanks for the ongoing output, I have binge watched this channel from start to current, your machining ethics are excellent, your video production quality is outstanding, please keep up the good work and please, please stay safe.
Those control arms look like it fits an atv or Utv lift kit. Something of the side by side variety
What an honorable idea for a TH-cam "content creator", actually use his/her SKILLS to sell tools/merchandise that actually can be used in order to provide a revenue stream, instead of always begging for patreon money, or selling clothes/mugs, etc. Hats off to Fireball tools/Randy Rickards, and it is very nice to see this skillful marketing for a change.
They could have at least come with snap rings that have a taper on one side to hold them somewhat tight in the control arms. That's a really loose fit.
That's what I thought, wonder what vehicle it's used for.
You should show us some close-up, maybe microscopic images if possible of what the difference is between results using various cutting liquids in your work. Tap magic, cutting oil, no oil, etc.
hey kids! that is a pre zip code mailing address on his T shirt.
Use you zone number!
Zone Improvement Plan started in 1963. Believe it or not, if you use just your name and you ZIP+4, there's a very good chance it will get delivered correctly.
@@ronjones-6977 Yep...zip+4 works...even with no name...try it out...I didn't believe it so sent myself a letter with only zip+4 with no return address...bout 4 days and it showed up, I was stunned...wife said I was full of BS...and another service most folks have not heard of from USPS is "informed delivery" where you get an email in the morning with a scan of your mail for that day, sounds crazy I know but it works very well...just setup a free account at usps.com plus with an account you can print out and pay for priority shipping labels with click-&-ship...
@@ltdees2362 Also a similar free service for UPS and FedEx. Sign up for all three before a scammer signs up with your address...
Salut, c'est vraiment impressionnant comme cette Bridgeport est silencieuse même à cette vitesse de rotation ! incroyable!
Sinon félicitation Adam, c'est vraiment du bon boulot, toujours du travail de professionnel ! et toujours aussi didactique !
Continue c'est super !
I looked that Athol vice up because Athol is a historical name from Scotland and the Isle of Man. The guy who named that town was John Murray. Many of the Atholl Lords of Man's last name was Murray. They spent a lot of time in the jail or on the block. Backed the wrong side.
Great stuff!
Have my widescreen shrunk or have Mr ABom been shrinkin. Awesome work anyway!
look like Mustang GT Lateral links with extended ball joints probably for a lowered vehicle and track use.
When you machine that part (for the oilseal), won't you seriously weaken it, compared to the original ? It will break off at the sharp edge, as soon as it is put under severe driving conditions ?!
Are you sure that Removing material won't weaken the axle tulip
Yes
Are you writing a repair order or job sheet for all this projects
Years ago i had done so many jobs people would come back and say hey you know that job you did for me i have another one
Not remembering exactly how much time I spent doing looking back i wish i did keep better log of all the jobs ive done and what it was i did
Years ago you didn't have video to document your projects and 400k commenters to tell you how to do them!
Those Starrett vises can be real Athol's......😐
Only thing I see wrong with those magnetic tools is them attracting metal shavings and getting covered with metal particles
