Machining a T-Nut for Compound Slide
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 เม.ย. 2022
- In this video I will show machining a t-nut for the American Pacemaker compound slide. This type of t-nut install is what is recommended by the Original Multifix company and how PeWe Tools also recommends installing their posts as well. The purpose is to provide the base of the post full contact of the mounting surface. There will be a followup video showing the machining of the tool post bolt.

Your camera resolution is so good that when you get close to the work I get chips on my keyboard.
I hope you are wearing some safety goggles my friend.
You better make certain the chips are dry, you know how bad coolant is for a computer keyboard

Haha ...here too LOL 😂
My lap is wet. I got coolant leaking out of the charge port of my phone.
Another great video, but I just wanted to mention how the family photo at the end never fails to make me smile. I love it. Thanks.
Love you’re videos. Commercials are getting out of hand.
Great video and nice job as always.. I'm wondering if it's not better to have a little extra material removed from the top of the t-nut( very little) Perfectly flush with the compound like this maybe will work, but i think is better to have some free space beetwen the bottom of the tool post and the top of the t-nut, so when tightening the nut there is enough force applied to the fresh compound plane to prevent the tool post from moving, especially with your heavy cuts.
Look forward to the see the next phases
I wonder if Adam spoke to the toolpost manufacturer re correct method of attaching toolpost to compound, before he machined this?
You are exactly right. This way the toolpost and T-nut will be clamped together and essentially only be held by the set screws.
Man that flexarm tapps like a beast.
Today I learnt about 2 items I never knew existed. Triple fluted drill bits and go/no go thread gauges. Lovely work. Cheers!
I love watching how razor sharp your drills are.
Hey Adam, You are my Saturday 3pm favorite divertissement for many years now. looking good for the future with all your projects. Keep on going. We will be there for you.
Man that pacemaker is a beast. That cross slide is big enough to mount an entire mini lathe on. LOL
Coming along nicely Adam. Really enjoy seeing the old Pacemaker being brought back to its splendor.
Can’t believe how far you have come since I first started watching you congratulations
I am just glad to see you making chips again lol.
I know you have a lot going on with the new shop so I understand.
Love watching your shows.
Abby great camera work.
You mentioned "climb cut" at 9:25, and I had no idea what that was until 9:40 when you showed it in slo-mo. At that instant a light bulb flashed in my mind and I figured out that a climb cut is where the cutting action of the mill is going the same direction as the travel. It is not as aggressive of a cut, and probably results in a smother finish as well. And no, I have never machined in my life, and probably never will, as much as I regret never taking shop class in high school 40-plus years ago! LOVE your videos, Adam!
Climb milling is tricky and can be dangerous since the cutter tries to “climb” over the work resulting in broken cutters and spoiled work especially if attempted on heavy cuts. Unless the machine has hydraulic backlash control it’s best to only use climb milling on light finishing cuts.
Awesome machinning there, enjoyed the clip and looking forward to the whole rebuild. Thanks for posting.
Wow. That flex arm makes tapping look like child's play. Amazing machine! Respect from Texas
All your proper tools for the job. well done Adam
awesome episode, as usual, love how you show the change of plans and when things go right and wrong, cheers!
you do such a great job Abom79, thank you for sharing 🙂
I love this content Adam. It's a pleasure watching you work. Thanks for having us in your shop.
Another good one Adam. Set screws are a nice touch to keep the t-nut from moving, BUT, I think you should take a few thou off the top of the nut to insure the ears on the compound are “sandwiched” in compression when the tool post bolt is tightened.
That's the manufacturer suggested procedure. I guess since they made the damn thing they probably know what they're talking about.
46:50
I think I remember this being addressed in a past sns.
I appreciate the care you take in showing these process steps. I have used your videos as a guide for some of my rebuilding tasks. Thanks!
Excellent as usual. It's amazing what you can do with the right tools!
These videos are not only interesting to watch but highly informative if someone is planning to buy a used machine tool.
Great shot of that "funnel chip" forming on the side of the piece....love that aesthetic! I also like the striated finish that milling tool leaves on the piece
Boy, do I love it when you make stuff. Keep going sir.
51min was good for me🤷🙂 I enjoy seeing all the details…..thank you Adam
Man the shot of the grind on that special drill bit. Incredible work (all of it)
Great project - looking forward to the next steps...
Beautiful workmanship Adam pleasure to watch .
Your predecessors would be proud of you care and diligence, nice work. it's great to bring a great machine back to it's former days. You also add integrity to your craft.
Love the machining videos; looking forward to the next one.
Some epic metal mowing! Like the curly chips on the side!
Your amazing you make it appear to be so easy ,thanks for sharing the story.
Enjoying it here in Minnesota...
Always enjoy watching your content, Adam. Thank you!
That power tapping machine is nothing short of incredible!
You're a hell of a machinist, Adam.
ADAM, LOOKS GREAT, GREAT VIDEO...
That is one hella honkin' MultiFix holder! Looks great on that cross slide. Can't wait to see her makin' chips!
Seeing you tap those giant threads with authority! It's crazy watching and learning from a "garage diy" perspective. I've broken many cheap taps being gentle. Made in USA and doing it right is the way to go. Thanks, love the channel 👍👍
Excellent video today mate, thanks for uploading.
Good work Adam. I look forward to the post bolt and lead screw videos!
looking forward to the rest of your series on this! 👍👍👊👊
Great work Adam! I am enjoying this rebuild. Thanks for all the great videos
Great work as always!
Great stuff Adam! You call it a T-nut, but if I understand its use it is really an insert to create a solid compound with multiple locations for the multifix.
Great work. That Multifix is huge.
Steve.
Would have probably been a good shaper project too, but it was cool to watch the K&T get some screen time.
I'm always astounded by the wealth of knowledge your comment section has.
Right-on Adam! Getting there!
Always fascinating. Thank you.
Wow that tap is awesome.
Great video Adam! Love your shop and all those marvelous tools!
Nice looking t-nut thanks for sharing
I keep saying it, Adam you're a master crafter with all metals and machines 👍🏻... greetings to Abby from us...
Lots of handwork.Thank you.
I enjoy watching all your videos to the end. Even though, as you say, most people will never do this, there are always great tips and ideas that can be used on other projects. Keep up the great videos!
You make such good videos with different camera angles, good lighting, good sound, even have a silent partner camera operator for roving camera views. Also have very good sound for clear dialog. The editing is also well done and makes the story move along at the right pace. These videos should be shown in regional technical schools for machinists, that is, if those kind of schools still exist.
Woow what an awesome tapping machine!!!
That Really nice paw paw 🐾 when all put together.... looks awesome also.....
Love your channel's awesome tools.
Nice work. I see something I'd like to integrate on my home brew tool post, to make it easier to use ... another thing to add to the (growing) list of small improvements.
I have used Cleveland drills and taps for over 40 years and do like them.
Looks great on that size compound. Perfect proportions. Nice work.
I will second that!
I’ll third that. A beast of a tool post for a beast of a lathe.
Looks Good Adam, very precise 👍.
You are a true professional! You keep your shop really clean and also your machines and tools. Your machinist skill is outstanding. It´s a real pleasure to see you work!! Thank you Adam!
Easy to keep things clean when they're not being used 🤣
@@carld7580 cry more. You boys are so jealous that he doesn't need to be slaving away in his shop. I LOVE IT. Your so bad that you need to punch a time card while he gets to do whatever he wants. You're jealousy makes me so happy it's indescribable.
Very nice work!
That looks really good
Excellent episode!
always a pleasure to watch
Love those fine pitch roughing or ripper cutters, I use them in 6 mm to 12 mm diameter, brilliant for smaller milling machines. Powder Metallurgy type are a great step up from HSS, not as rigid or liable to break as solid carbide.
Great job as per usual Adam.
Thanks for sharing.
Great job 👍 Adam
👍👍👏👏👍👍 Thanks for sharing Adam, have a nice weekend
PeWe Tools multifix is just awesome, In the 1980s i had original multifix ..i now ave PeWe multifix on my new machines s every bit as good and afordable plus i can use my old original multifix holders
Nice Projekt Adam!
Nice job. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Hey Abom, just wanted to say I love your videos and I can always learn something from them and apply it to my own job as a welder/fabricator. Love the content you put out here for us! Keep up the hard work! Also, loving the adventures channel too! You and Abby are great fun on the camera!
Fairly obvious that this build is "precision" and has to be done just right. Good design and a great looking tool holder IMO.
I always enjoy your videos Adam, and this one is no exception. Thank you for all your informative, educational, and entertaining videos. And, please say HI, to Abby from me.
Hello James 👋🏻
une excellente qualité de travail ! Bravo !
Great video abomb!
Nice job Adam as usual, also kudos for the camera work by Abby
What can anyone say…. You are the Master!
Nice job Adam
Great Video, informative, and enjoyable to watch. Now i wish i actually had a lathe.
Man that flex arm has some torque!!
Hello Adam, again a very nice video. It is very important that the tap is thoroughly cleaned when tapping. I've already destroyed several threads. Otherwise, such a compensating feed is a nice thing. We have installed it on all our machines. However, for smaller threads we use collet chucks with a 4-point. It is more precise but also more dangerous. Greetings Paul
Fascinating your videos 👍👍
Exelente trabajo maestro 👍
Awwe, beautiful work.
It is so much fun to see you restore this magnificent tool. I know that dead blow hammers were well known in 1970 because I worked in a GM factory that year and the Die Makers used them when they repaired my machine. They had a selection of lead, plastic, and leather, each kind in several weights. They had to be so careful of those dies, which were hugely expensive, and which bent parts with precision, particularly the hole punches. The point is that I have trouble conceiving a machinist hitting that compound with an actual hammer. How did they become skilled enough to operate the American Pacemaker lathe and yet they hit it with a hammer.
that flexarm continues to amaze.
Missed those fab videos👍
i like your vids Abom79, keep up the good work!! :)
Good job . Great video
That band saw gives an amazing finish
Ése sistema es más robusto que el antiguo,la ranura en T será eterna y, aunque sólo pueda poner el multifix en sólo dos posiciones, es apto para todo tipo de trabajos.
LIKE.🇪🇦
Excellent.
From the title.... I was not really interested in watching this video....! But I did watch it... and it was one of your better videos...! I think the fact that is was a longer than normal, and not chopped into segments was good.... Keep up the good work!!!
Glad see chips flying, we where kinda afraid you had forgotten with all the new stuff, also seen folks asking where you'd gotten money 💰 💰 to buy all new stuff, in our view, it's none of their business! You do what you do and sling chipss!!! That is why people watch, not the new toys & such, but for the content that brought us (and all your long time subscribers)!
1018 steel? Never found a way to get a good looking finish on that stuff with a shellmill. Smooth? Yes. Looking good? Not. That tool post is a monster! 1/8" DOC and full radial? That machine got some power! Carbide rules bro!
