All aspects of your videos are very professional, but what is truly exceptional in yours is the pacing. You include just enough of the various operations to clearly show what you are doing, without letting it get boring. You and Tony stand out in this respect. Most others let the operations go on much, much too long. Thank you!
Stefan, Years ago when I was a young apprentice my training instructor taught me to use a piece of notebook paper for touching off. A piece half again as wide as the keyway underneath the cutter and very gently bring the cutter down until it is marking evenly. Very accurate, and fast. It works for any machine tool.
by far my favorite hobby machinist. your perfection is very nice to watch. you're philosophy about life makes me feel better too. " just have to do it. "
Nice finish on that part... looks very professional. So after his shaper completely rusts away after the next great war and some aliens excavate the remains 5000 years from now, the only thing left will be your ratchet gear in perfect, spotless condition. They will wonder who was able to make such quality parts in what they will refer to as our dark ages. ;) Very nice camera angles btw. especially your famous shaper right in the eye shots... glorious and very educational. Thank you for sharing another adventure and take care!
More super Stefan work -- that keyway tool centering is without doubt the most logical method. I've said before - oh boy do I miss my big old shaper! You keep your shop and machines so clean! Nice job.
Very professional looking part, Stefan. If someone sees that part, would definitely think it was made in a professional manufacturing machine shop. I'm always enjoying watching your videos. Keep them coming.
Great video. Setting the height of the slit saw is a great example of why many gauge block sets have wear blocks - a size that the manufacturer makes a large batch of. You use the wear block on the end of your stack so that it takes any abuse instead of the other blocks that you keep pristine. Replacing one 0.100" block is much cheaper than replacing several odd sizes in a set.
A complete part from start to finish shown in just one segment. As others pointed out, with just enough detail to make it instructional without being boring. I have broaches for keyways but using the shaper provides superb control. The matte surface would help it retain some lubricant in other applications. Thanks for making such professional videos.
Love all your videos despite not having machine shop tools myself. (I've always worked in wood). I've stopped watching cable TV since channels like yours are much more enjoyable and educational. Keep them coming.
Always fun to watch your videos, Stefan. Not only are you a fine machinist, but you are a "not too shabby" video producer, too. ;-) We know if your name is on it, it is going to be quality.
It is always enjoyable watching you work. You do have a good grasp of the small details which is pleasure to watch and learn from. Thank you for taking the time to show all of your work and I must say the camera work in this video is superb, love looking down the hole as the shaper was cutting the key way.
Love the grim opening music. When I have a hard interrupted cut I relieve the leading edge of (in this case) the key way, a lot easier on the tool edge. Love your videos
Very nice. I imagine the part was more accurate and finished better than the original. No one ever fubars the indexing. :) "so I don't fubar that, not that I ever did that". I enjoy your injections of humor.
Thanks, this is again a great video. Even if thee is no black magic, I like what you show and learn a lot every time again. I thought I had gone through your whole collection by now, but this is is still new to me 😁
Stefan, Thank you very much for these wonderful and informative videos, thanks for the information of the files, I have seen two videos of you and I was impressed with the quality of your works. Grüße aus Chile
Hey Stefan. Did you know that you can use the reduction ratio of the rotary table divided by the number of divisions without needing to work out angles. i.e. 90 (rotations per rev)/30 (divisions) = 3 (hand wheel rotations). this also works for fractions. so if you want 100 divisions you get 9/10 turns (18 holes on a 20 hole dividing plate etc)
Nice piece of job! 17:19 - before pressing START machining -ALWAYS have one thought behind your head: if the machined groove doesn't have to be positioned with the keyway groove inside the center hole. To be honest, once I've fu...ked up the similar to your's sprocket - the first tooth had to be rotated for 4degrees relative to the keyway. Of corse the sprocket is non symetrical then, so it is also important to notice if your sprocket is correctly placed inside the dividing tool. If there's no drawing for the toothed wheel, always ask the client for where and what it's used.
2/100th of a mm Run out?! Toss the part and start over! Shotty work Stefan...Shotty work. ;) Always look forward to your videos. My only complaint is that you don't make enough of them. Looking forward to the next one.
I agree; there's something remarkably attractive about that part. Probably the combination of the bead blasted exterior, contrasted with the finish of the bore after hard turning. I've had a 14" G&E shaper since 2010; picked up a Rockford 24" HD hydraulic shaper a month ago that needs wired up. It doesn't have the ratchet feed wheel. Excellent shots of centering the keyway in the bore; I've watched your previous video on the subject multiple times. Do you ever use any other method besides "the even scratch"? Thanks again for the great video!
Thoroughly enjoyed that Stefan, was hoping that you would cut the teeth on the shaper but I guess I cant have everything. Thanks for the indexing explanation. I am always inspired by your workmanship and approach. Thanks for the time and effort making & editing & uploading these videos. All the best Mat (Sadly no feature of your sandels this time...)
another quality piece, on a couple of levels. quick question, what is your opinion of dividing plates on a rotary table vs an indexing head, useability and what not?
Cutting key ways with a file is a pain. last time I did one, I made a jig using a windshield wiper motor with a small crank arm and a file on the end of a long connecting rod. Turned it on and let it do its thing while I worked on something else. I've seen shaper attachments for bridgeports but I just don't do enough key ways to justify the price.
Brilliantly done and we'll explained as usual ,as usual say, if you think things through its possible to make some complicated items thanks for another good vid
Another fine video Stephane, what size tip did you use in your blast gun for the aluminum oxide and that was 50 grit you used @ 90 psi? How many CFM is your compressor? I am just about to start using my new blast cabinet using a 18 CFM compressor with 90 grit AO @ 90 PSI but can't find any data on tip sizes. I also have 50lbs of glass beads which I understand you shd shoot @ 30-40 PSI or you will destroy the beads but I don't know what size tip to use, I just have ceramic tips for now but am interested in Boron Carbide in the future. Thanks, Doug

Gotta agree 100&1%. Although I've gotten into the habit of just skipping over huge sections of those boring parts.
I agree, but every time I cut an operation short, someone wants to bitch about that as well.
I Was thinking the same...
Stefan,

A piece half again as wide as the keyway underneath the cutter and very gently bring the cutter down until it is marking evenly. Very accurate, and fast. It works for any machine tool.
Looks very nice - the blasting medium really makes it look very professional. Thanks for making all your videos.
by far my favorite hobby machinist. your perfection is very nice to watch. you're philosophy about life makes me feel better too. " just have to do it. "
None of your work is ever shabby mate. Your accuracy is an inspiration to metal bashers like myself.
Very inspiring. Very clear camera work too. Thank you Stefan!

Great step by step instruction with a final "you can do it at home" address, to get interested hobbyists and makers into activity mode. Thanks Stefan!
I haven't seen a shaper at work in decades. Nice job on the Ratchet wheel.
Steve
Ich vermisse diese Arbeit. Ich bin selber Feinwerkmechanikermeister und mir felht die manuelle Arbeit. Danke für die Filme.
Nice job Stefan. (as usual :-)). But, take more care of those fingers!
Thanks!
My better half tells me the same all the time - I try! Realy :D
I was scrolling to make this same comment :)

love your videos. thanks for all of your knowledge!
Another great job!... The hard turning leaves a very nice finish!

I agree with you, Stefan- all limitations live only in your head. You can do all- just step by step follow your dream!
Superb attention to detail as usual. I wish I could get hold of small pieces of tool steel here in Australia.
favorite youtuber! Had to stop watching a video to watch this haha.
Thank you!
Poor other youtuber you where watching ;)
Me too!
Ditto :)
Always enjoyable. Always informative. I appreciate your craftsmanship! Thanks for posting Stefan!
See Stefan's posted a video. Like the video. Watch the video. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday(:
Haha, thank for for the trust an advance :)
Love all your videos despite not having machine shop tools myself. (I've always worked in wood). I've stopped watching cable TV since channels like yours are much more enjoyable and educational. Keep them coming.
Love that deburring with the rotary grinder! Very efficient :-)
Always fun to watch your videos, Stefan. Not only are you a fine machinist, but you are a "not too shabby" video producer, too. ;-) We know if your name is on it, it is going to be quality.
You make it look too easy!
Beautiful work.
It is always enjoyable watching you work. You do have a good grasp of the small details which is pleasure to watch and learn from. Thank you for taking the time to show all of your work and I must say the camera work in this video is superb, love looking down the hole as the shaper was cutting the key way.
Stefan, you are inspirational. Thank you for your videos. Mike
wow Stefan you are the man. I look at your videos like classroom instruction.
Great job Stefan. Thanks for sharing. regards from the UK
Looks very professional Stefan. Well done.
Beautiful part. Enjoyed watching. Appreciate your attention to precision.
Thank you!
Beautiful work Stefan.
I learn something every video you put out plus get a good chuckle or two to boot, Thanks again.
Nicely done, excellent video, always a pleasure to watch you work.
Great video. The wheel turned out great.
YOU, can make anything, some of us make a mess! I find your videos very inspiring, thanks for the time you put into them.
Cliff
High quality work as always Stefan.
Very nice work. I like your step by step explanation.
I was impressed with your commitment to excellence. Of course that is always your way of machining.Thanks for sharing your talents.
Professional all the way! Thanks from Lincoln, NE, USA
Nice work Stefan. Great way to cut a keyway.
This view of the shaper tool cutting the keyway is awesome. Great job. I wish I had a shaper, I think it's an underrated machine...
Very good ! excellent work for your shaper.
You must be a metal fan in more ways than one... excellent!
Love the grim opening music. When I have a hard interrupted cut I relieve the leading edge of (in this case) the key way, a lot easier on the tool edge. Love your videos
Great work Stefan!
Top quality part Stefan really looked the business nice video.
I need a video that's nothing but like an hour of shaper cutting.... Very relaxing
Very nice. I imagine the part was more accurate and finished better than the original.
No one ever fubars the indexing. :)
"so I don't fubar that, not that I ever did that". I enjoy your injections of humor.
Great work, and great video as always, buddy! :)
That is amazing.
Thank you for the positive encouragement.
I am impressed with your talent
A really nice part! Thanks for another great video.
Nice project Stefan, enjoyed this content.
Thanks man!! Always learning with your content!
as always : VERY enjoyable video !!!
Thank you Stefan !!!
Lovely job! Enjoyed, as always...
Ah.. super enjoyed Stefan , Great job man ! Thumbs up..
Another great video! Thank you Stefan...
Immer wieder faszinierend, was du da so produzierst. Danke fuer die tollen Videos!
Immer wieder gerne :)
Very nice looking final product. I picked up some good tips.
Nice project. Not too complex but still with a few interesting operations in it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, this is again a great video. Even if thee is no black magic, I like what you show and learn a lot every time again.

Thank you for watching and commenting!
Very nicely done.
very nice job stefan
Nice job.
I feel that the pawl that did all the cycle could have been made afresh again.
Kudos...
Fine job Sir. ... Every time I watch you playing with your shaper... makes me desire one more and more every time.. some day..
Very interested in your little oven. Nice work.
Its a small Efco110 oven for burning enamel - I just added the EuroTherm controller.
Beautifull part !
"You can make it" ? No, i can't. You can ! 🙂
Thanks for sharing !
Thank you!

Welcome back buddy love the wideo ;)
your hair is so bomb in the intro.
Sweet lookin part Stefan, looks factory! 👍🏼
Thanks! You just got a subscriber ;)
Thanks!, much better than losing one! 😉
2/100th of a mm Run out?! Toss the part and start over! Shotty work Stefan...Shotty work. ;)
Always look forward to your videos. My only complaint is that you don't make enough of them.
Looking forward to the next one.
Excellent work!
I'd say not too shabby either. Kudos dude.
thankyou Stefan. feel more certain about having a go now.appreciated.
Thanks Emma :)
Otherwise drop me a message with a drawing of the wheel you need.. :)
Thanks Stefan! Nice to see you in a video!!
I agree; there's something remarkably attractive about that part. Probably the combination of the bead blasted exterior, contrasted with the finish of the bore after hard turning.
I've had a 14" G&E shaper since 2010; picked up a Rockford 24" HD hydraulic shaper a month ago that needs wired up. It doesn't have the ratchet feed wheel.
Excellent shots of centering the keyway in the bore; I've watched your previous video on the subject multiple times. Do you ever use any other method besides "the even scratch"?
Thanks again for the great video!
verry nice finish on that wheel!
Very nice Stefan. And, I agree, you can make machine parts in your shop even if you only have a lathe.
"Not to shabby ..." ^^
Nice work!
You have to stay humble to your own work.
Thanks!
You can make anything! :-)
it really is a pleasure watching your very interesting videos, thank you for sharing
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time

another quality piece, on a couple of levels. quick question, what is your opinion of dividing plates on a rotary table vs an indexing head, useability and what not?
Step by step, one step at a time. and use what tools you have. Good advice Stefan, some people give up way too soon.

It is like I have always told my students. It is like eating an elephant, just do it one bite at a time!
All the best!

Best way to describe machining. Break it down and go step by step :)
