The Radius Fixture That Got Way Too Complicated

- Machining rounds on part corners presents a dilemma (to me anyway). Either I lug out my massive rotary table then spend a significant amount of time setting it and my parts up on the mill. Or I just quickly free-hand grind them on belt sander and live with the imprecision. So I’ve decided to make a tool that is the best of both worlds. A rotating fixture plate that is fast to set up, but also precise! But of course it doesn’t stop there. Being the engineer that I am, I couldn’t resist including a ton of extra functionality. If I’m taking the time to make the tool, might as well do it right, right? At any rate, the scope of the project might have gotten a little out of hand… and I might have had to come up with some shortcuts just to save some time. I’m not saying there’s super glue involved… But I’m not saying there isn’t either.

I know longer videos are a lot more work, editing, and take longer to upload. But I don't think I'm alone when I say that I really enjoy longer videos of machining. Your style in a good 30 minute-ish video is a good time in my opinion. Thanks for working so hard and making such amazing content.
Absolutely hard agree, longer videos from this channel are amazing!
I enjoy all of your videos, regardless of length. Whatever you give us, we’ll gladly accept
Totally. I loved this longer format too. 30min is a perfect length in my opinion. No super short, and not so long that people lose focus/stop watching the video.
Thank you and noted! Ironically slightly longer videos would probably be a little easier. I spend quite a bit of time just getting the explanations as concise as I can. Otherwise I blather on too much 😂
Yes sir I agree with you & like you, I do appreciate the video
I have even gone hunting looking for a video just, because
I always got the feeling that machining is just an endless loop of making tools. I love it.
You make a tool to build a better tool; basically the core of civilization.
it is! 😂
And in this case his lovely drawings!
As the saying goes, you need a lathe and mill to make parts for your lathe and mill...
With chamfers.
You're one of a small handful of creators that I genuinely get excited for uploads. Can't wait to see this project finished.
I actually woke up today and thought.... "is it inheritance machining day?"
@@benbrown8363 lmao same, i got exited when this vid popped up
Glad to head that! Thanks a bunch!
I can’t relate to this comment more
I'm pretty damn sure that your grandfather would absolutely love this Channel and what you have been doing with his old tools keep up the great work.
Thank you. That means so much!
He’s Grandson’s TV show is his favorite TV show; FOR SURE! So good.
I do enjoy the clicking fingers and skipping stuff, but what I have really loved about your channel is how different it is from other machining channels I watch, and the inclusion of setup changes is a big part of that
Thanks for that. Sometimes it feels repetitive to show the common change overs like swapping chucks. I do try to point out the significant and/or less obvious aspects when they do crop up 😊
@@InheritanceMachining I think you've found a good balance, and the friendly elbow-dig at the Snap-Cut trend is the perfect injection of humor in the pacing of the video
@@InheritanceMachining I'm +1 on Abigails comment: you've hit the perfect balance of showing setup, but speed running it. I don't find it repetitive at all, although the snapping skit in this video was super amusing.
@@InheritanceMachining I totally agree with these comments. The "clicks" were great on a dad joke level (the ultimate level 🤔) and the sense of humour fits just like your chamfered parts.....spot on...... But please don't follow the insta-crowd. I loathe that fake magic to the point where I refuse to watch creators who over employ the clicks for views regardless of how good their content may be. You've got it so right, the pace, the work I can only dream of, the finished product, the explanation AND the thoroughly relaxing way in which you go about even the most tedious tasks in the shop. I am thrilled to see one of your videos pop up and hope that you keep running true and on centre. Oh and longer videos work just fine for me😊
I'm in the film business for a long time and I really enjoy watching your videos. Always the right angle, alwaysd in focus, consistent audio levels, consistent black/white levels, and, very importantly: very nicely cut. You have the skill to cut out boring stuff instead of showing them sped-up over annoying music. Already looking forward to the next one.
Oh thank you so much! We work really hard on all that so I appreciate that!
The audio levels make the most difference in my option. Nothing worse then a video at speaking volume, then a lathe or a welder melting your ear drums.
"over designing is highly under rated" - great job on your explanations!
Thanks, Jim!
It's funny how scope creep helps build more content. That weird push/pull between production of stuff vs run time.
It's also funny that so many machinist are making tools for machining, instead of widgets for an external application.
I like it.
It's hard to justify making widgets when there are so many other tools I truly do "need" 😂
Anything worth doing is worth over doing
Anything worth overdoing is worth WAY overdoing…
Preach
In our experience, anything worth doing better be appreciated because overdoing it is a lot of extra work.
That fits better than: "When in doubt, C4...."
I'm starting to feel sorry for the mistakes box, it has become unused for such a long time now. Excellent work once again Sir, seeing it develop from draft board to work piece is a real joy. Have a great weekend.
Don't jinx me! 😂 Thanks as always!
As someone who works on 1 offs (on occasion worth over £50,000 before I even touch them) and can't really afford slip-ups, they still happen 😅 I always think that's what tolerances are for, "mistake allowances"🙈😂
The scope creep creeping up the frame was the most iconic engineering experience ever.
The smash logo tool
I was looking for this
I'm impressed with how well the superglue works, great part as always
me too 😅 thanks!
Love it--always happy to see a new video from you on the home page. I'm particularly fond of videos of toolmaking. I had noticed the plate kind of looks like the Super Smash Bros. logo and now I can't unsee it haha
😆 Much appreciated!
As per clickspring videos, it might be a good idea to turn some concentric grooves into the blank you use to superglue the work on, apparently it gives the glue some air which it needs to dry. Make the grooves deep enough and you can face the plate everytime you use it without having to cut new ones.
That's an interesting idea. My understanding is that CA cures with water, which air naturally has, so the grooves would help that. I also know that accelerants(baking soda, any base, i think) would help with that.
Not a bad idea! Thanks
What I know is that accelerants make the glue weaker. Bit cures faster
I thought "superglue" and family are anaerobic, much like thread locker.
@@LeonardRoberts loctite is definitely anaerobic, but i dunno if its CA glue or something else
I love it when TH-cam machinist embrace their soft(ware) side and unlock *_MOVIE MAGIC_* lol
I love how you share your thought process with us. I love how you show everything you do in the videos, and I love whenever you don’t just snap the process into existence. Love how you show us even the small stuff like putting the chuck onto the lathe or taking the gauges out from their place. Keep on doing what your doing. I love seeing this channel grow and your camera work grow.
Thank you so much!
I have to admit to having winced when I saw that drill go into the glue and tape mounted plate. Oh, man!
The way the two parts slide... it looks so smooth... this is honey for the eyes !
It's unbelievably smooth!
For me, this is one of only a couple channels that can get me to really sit down, relax, and just watch straight through, no pausing or skipping. Fantastic work, love the longer videos! Thanks for all the hard work!
My pleasure! Thank you as well!
@@InheritanceMachining Of course, it’s a pleasure to be a patron and supporter!
@@SkylerPlunk Oh! Well then double thanks to you! I'm not extremely vocal about the patreon but it's a huge part of my being able to make these videos. So thank you for making it happen!
@@InheritanceMachining Of course! Thank you for posting what you love doing and taking us all along for the ride!
Beautiful job Brandon. I laughed at you not being able to make the finger click work - and then again at the later unexpeced "success" 🙂 That delrin certainly does make for a nice bearing, I need to think of ways to use that material more often in my projects. Thanks for the video, you do first-class machining, filming and editing as usual. Looking forward to part 2.
Just took some practice. You might be better at it than I 😁I also highly recommend Delrin after this one. A lot of fun to machine! Thanks as always, man!
Spiffy! Just think of all the tools you can make with your new tool! I am really proud of you for making this one out of steel. (I have trust issues with aluminum.)
Don't worry I do too... I just have so much aluminum scrap 😂 Thanks!
This is why i love your channel 😄 overengineering something that will take you 100x longer than the actual job it does just to make it that much easier is so satisfying!
See... you get it! 😂
Your videos are just what the doctor ordered after work. I have next to no machining experience, and that which I do know is the broad strokes….probably a little too ham-fisted to actually make nice parts or tools but as other commenters have said, I know it probably takes as long to edit and arrange and compile all the footage into what you release as the final product but it’s VERY much appreciated and basically therapeutic. Watching the chips fly and end up as a snug and dare I say perfectly executed tool is just…man…like I said…therapeutic.
I really appreciate that! Thank you!
"What is a tool?"
Me : I work with many of them. lol
Wait... No side project?
Thank you very much for putting this content on here. Between you, Brandon, and cutting edge engineering I pretty much stopped watching tv. You rock bud
Thanks, man!
You bring glamour to mechanical engineering and design and the art of making *real* things, which seems to be lost in the world of software automation… we take things for granted because of how easy it is to replicate, redo and copy in software that we almost completely forget, physical products to this day and forever need the artistry and technical talent like yours!
Take your time on making these videos! These aren’t a trend, these are here to stay forever!
I really appreciate the encouragement. I suppose there is a reason automotive manufacturers still to this day manually sculpt the clay models of cars. Thanks!
Hey IM,
really a very nice piece of work. As mentioned on my last comment, I am a MechEng for quite some years now, and kind of specialized on Composite Materials, which means also on Glue ;). Maybe I can give some kind of scientific background why the superglue method works and the part is not flying of when you turn on the lathe, and why you can easily get the part off when prying on the edge: the main characteristic for all glues is that they withstand shear loads very good but pretty poorly perpendicular pulling loads/tensile loads, and superglue is no exception on this, neither the glue on the masking tape. So the disc being glued on the piece of aluminium and then put into the lathe sees mostly shear loads while being turned, and though when working on it with the prying iron you apply mostly tensile forces.
One comment I got quite a while ago when I murmurred something about hobby vs. professional work: definition of hobby is archieving minimal results while puting in maximal effort ;)
I appreciate your sense on details when doing your videos, you always make sure giving us nice views and detailed descriptions, even if there's not a completition on the end, like a cliffhanger on your favorite tv show back in the 80's, you will survive until next friday, it's hard but it is surely managable.
Looking forward to part2, BR, Sven.
Thanks for the input, Sven! Hearing the shear vs. tensile explanation makes it so obvious now! 😅 Thanks for the kind words!
"What is a tool?"
A MISERABLE PILE OF-
"It's an object to make a job easier."
Oh, darn.
Such a missed opportunity
"But enough talk! Have at you!"
A MISERABLE PILE OF OVER-ENGINEERED SCOPE CREEP!!
@@AkashCherukuri Mankind ill needs a cheap tap wrench such as you!
I think your Grandfather would be very happy to see his machines being used with such care and he'd be proud too.
My heart DROPPED when I saw you plop the tape & glue down, I knew EXACTLY what you were doing & just
A n x i e t y
You’re still gluing as I type this
I’m glad it worked, and I see the explanation further down in the comments as to why - and i knew the theory worked I was just freaked out by Size
Turns out ‘cause of the way the glue works, doesn’t much matter!
Science is Neat
I’m still not convinced this isn’t super smash Bros logo
So weird to see 'Blue Tape Machining' used by both the most exacting hobby machinist I follow, and Joey B of BPS Space, who is shall we say a different style of machinist.
I mean I was incredibly surprised how well it works while staying precise. Also never realized how contentious of a subject it was 😂
@@InheritanceMachining If it works, it works
The ‘Scope Creep’ sloooowly sliding into frame at exactly the moment I was thinking ‘this looks like it’s going a bit extra again’. 😂
😂
"This is just the beginning" ahhhhh music to my ears
Good afternoon all from Lincolnshire UK 🇬🇧
I do absolutely love your videos and think they are very informative but fun to watch. But as a machinist who has seen some whacky things happen. Please for your own safety do not do the super glue method, i would not even attempt this on small light work. And if you do use the super glue method I would just avoid advertising that, as a young or inexperienced machinist might try the same thing and end up in the hospital or worse. Lathes are very very great at what they do, but when it goes bad it goes very very bad as well. Be safe and have fun making chips!
In the 10+ years of me watching TH-cam channels; you are the first creator that I’ve actively turned notifications on for your videos.
That means so much! Thank you!
This is the coolest smash logo I've ever seen
Over built is underrated
Smart thinking..... brilliant implementation.......genius application.
thank you 😊
Ok firstly, wow, what a madlad send with that huge glue job. Secondly, ohmygod that dialed two flute slot cut in prep for the dovetail was absolute butter. As good and smooth as the best cnc cuts I've seen.
I think I even impressed myself with that cut 😂 One of my best to date! Thanks
what a beautifull build, and the afterburner feature makes it realy special 😂😂😂
Thanks Brandon for sharing your equisite workshop time
My pleasure! Thanks
this might be my favorite video on this channel. I love watching the process of such a crazy build and the way you solve each problem as they occur.
Wow, taping the thread wires together is a great trick - I'll have to keep that in mind!
Funny about that. Those were taped by my grandfather who knows how long ago (20+ years probably). Saved the headache for suture generations 😂 thanks!
I'm with you on that one. I've tried all sorts of ways of holding 3 wires, the part and operate a micrometer at the same time. Funnily I seem to have been born with only two hands and that job needs four, three if you can twist your mouth the right way. I'll have to give the tape a try.
I never been more satisfied watchin something on youtube!
thank you 🙏
Dear Brandon, your work is the target to which I one day aspire to achieve. Take as long as you like and be as over inclusive as you like. That’s what the fast forward button is for!
Thanks, Peter!
I really enjoyed your snapping shenanigans; they made me smile after a long week!
😁
For those who might be wondering, Delrin is one of many trade names of an engineering thermoplastic known as POM (PolyOxyMethylene). It is widely used both in machining and 3D printing.
I stumbled across the constructing video of this part and damn its amazing to watch you draw / machine, with that voice as well, pure gold. I am happy that I clicked on it!
Thanks! Welcome!
What a cool design. Being able to go forward with a project knowing full well that it will not have a good ROI for time is honestly a skill that takes work to develop. I struggle with it on most of my projects!
Good point! (and excuse haha) Honestly a lot of the projects are in no small part just an excuse to try new techniques or practice ones that need work. Thanks!
I just watched you make a precision machinist jack, and instantly subscribed to your channel. I am going to go back and watch all the videos I've missed, and dont want to miss new content!
😁 Welcome!
I showed your videos to a friend of mine, he now watches them as meditation to unwind from a stressful job. I watch just to enjoy the skill, precision and..... alternate methodology. :)
Does' my lack of training show? 😂 thanks!
You make the video, I'll watch it. Long, short, medium, whatever. Some of the best videos on youtube.
I really appreciate that!
I'm in a different time zone, and I've been working hard all day to restrain myself from watching this video during the day, just to save it for later to indulge myself later in the evening with some cool beer and another cool video from Brandon.
😁 glad you held out. I think a lot of people don't have that self restraint. At least the video metrics seem to imply they don't!
This is awesome! Its so cool to see people turn cool ideas into actual things.
And I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into making high quality videos documenting the process!
Thanks for sharing this with us!
There are a thousand different types of machinists out there but the top of the heap is the tool and die guys. Brandon is being extremely modest referring to himself as a hobbyist and not a professional. Technically he is not a professional because he isn't being paid for this but I can assure you that there are many professionals out there that would struggle to be Brandon's apprentice.
Brandon, yout inventiveness and talents across the board are top shelf.
Art from Ohio
You are very kind, Art! Thank yo so much
This video is oozing with knowledge. It's one of the best so far! Let's go round 2
Much appreciated!
I almost tear up watching this. I have no idea what it does, but all of these techniques just make me wish I had went straight for machining when I was 18. So much of my ability was locked up by just not knowing how to make the innovating devices I would think up to myself.
When at work and I have to dig deep power through some that is even my responsibility but I can let down the team. I can almost hear my grandfather saying “anything worth doing is worth doing right” and “if it’s an important part of the process make sure your the most important part of that process.” Cheesy right. Thanks for sharing.
Cheesy but good words to live by!
Ngl, Inheritance Machining is the modern day Bob Ross of the Machining world. Legit same chill vibe when describing everything.
I never get tired of your videography style. It's all so wholesome it makes me want this for myself.
thank you 😊 you could always start dabbling in machining
There is nothing better than some good old precision in the evening.
Beautiful machining work and problem solving. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thanks, Jon!
AYYYYYYY POSTED 10 MINUTES AGO??? This must be where all of my day’s good luck went
It is so satifying to watch nicely machined surfaces being uncovered from raw stock - I almost want to get my own machining workshop just to see that firsthand :D
This is shaping up to be a fantastic piece. Can't wait for part 2.
Thank!
Very great tool!
Great job.
Nothing is too over complicated!
Thanks!
Wow, very cool project.I'm waiting for part 2.thanks for sharing
Thanks!
The finger snap bit with the chuck adapter on the rotary table was clever. Nice take on this old -To...- trick. 😉
Honestly, I’m impressed by your skill. I’ve been machining a few years now and have yet to meet someone as talented and creative as you on manual machines. Your work is beautiful and very impressive!
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
God those taps were making me real anxious 😂
😁
Great video with mesmerizing interludes of pure genius at work. No side distractions. Looking forward to the conclusion. Thanks for taking the time
Thanks, Robert!
Absolutely love where this channel is going
Thank you for yet another highly satisfying video. It takes the edge right off. You make me regret not choosing to pursue a career in mechanical engineering. It would be amazing to see all the tools you've created in one frame. Looking forward to your next video.
Much appreciated! I think I had a community post not too long ago with all my tools to that point in one image. It's... A LOT 😂
Dam that material looks real NOICE
Watching people build things is so relaxing after a long day at work.
I've been watching your videos since the begenning of this chanel and i've got to say that witnessing your progress in such a short period of times makes me really happy. Machining takes years of learning and practice and it never ends. Hope we can have you here for a long time, you make beatifull tools. Congratulations from Argentina!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful work. Your channel really makes me miss my drafting classes and lathe operator job right out of high school.
I've been following your channel since the start and can say without any shred of doubt your grandfather would be proud of your work. Thank you for all of the hard work you do and making this wonderful content.
That really means a lot. Thank you so much
Great job as always! Can't wait to see it all together and rounding some edges
Thanks!
Very impressive in every aspect from machining to filming, you have gone straight to the top , my No 1 watched channel
Cheers Chris
What a beautiful project! Thanks for bringing us along!
My pleasure. Thanks!
bloody amazing i could easily watch 3 hours of this an evening but i like how you split the bigger ones up. I've been machining since i left school on and off and in more recent years have been spoilt and been running cnc's for my day job but watching your videos has reminded me how satisfying manual milling and turning is and inspired me to set up a home shop! literally building a workshop from the ground up based on me buying a friends entire home workshop after his sad death a few weeks ago its a case of oh i have done the deal best build a shop to put it all in before the house where it is goes on the market and sells. I can't wait to have my own box of shame! keep up the good work man
Thanks! Really glad to hear you're getting back to the manual side. Though the circumstances are pretty unfortunate. Sorry for your loss. Give those tools a good home!
This is the best machining / engineering channel I have come across . Good job and keep the content coming !!!
I really appreciate that. Thank you!
Those surfaces look good enough to ring together 😀👍. Looking forward to part 2.
thanks!
You are seriously my favorite small creator on TH-cam! One thing I’d like to see more of is occasionally discussing materials costs as I find that really interesting too.
Much appreciated! And noted 😊
That is a really useful , but very complicated to make! Can’t wait for part 2 and in use.
We'll see how useful it actually is haha thanks!
Always feels wonderful to wake up to a brand new IM video
Such a beautiful tool already, can't wait until it's finished.
Thanks!
This channel is so fascinating to watch! I come from 3d printing, which is pretty fire and forget compared to this. The attention to detail and planning that each feature requires is just so cool to watch in action
I've watched entire 10 hour videos on TH-cam and know I may be a small percentage but the longer the video the more I enjoy it. Your videos are like maker ASMR and often use them to wind down after a long day. Keep up the great content!
Noted! Thank for the support!
Just found your channel and enjoying the level of clearly explaining what you are doing and your process, and little flashes of your fun personality :-D
Very good video brandon..thanks for your time
Thanks!
Another perfect piece. I love your videos. I eagerly wait for each one.
Thanks, Greg!
Super satisfying watch!
Fantastic job! There is always something we need for the shop.
Amen. Thanks!
Great project, wonderful planning. Joy to watch.
Thanks!
Man, its like christmas, new video out from both you and Cutting Edge Engineering! :D
Friday's are good days I suppose 😁 Thanks!
