    What a treasure we all have in Mr. Pete and that he is willing to share his life time experiences with us for our entertainment and benefit. That you, Sir. You are a joy and blessing!

    Love the side stories Tubalcain, "Old Hacksaw Melvin"😂 ofcourse the machining and tutorial on this series of cutting a rack and pinion has been very educational as well.

      @larryschweitzer4904 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm now retired but had many employees over the years. Very few of them had taken any more than the most basic required math in school. It showed, in their abilities. Math beyond "add'n & subtractun" helps develop problem solving skills beyond #s. I personally think Trig should be part of the basic classes required in school. It is so useful in many fields.
      While I was in the Navy I voluntarily tutored math to help guys get their GEDs. What I found was many of them had a built in resistance to learning math. For those that showed an interest I would go beyond the required level by teaching basic trig, analytical geometry and even a bit of the calculus. Tutoring during months at sea, while we wasted a lot of perfectly good bombs, provided a way of finding a bit of self worth.

    Making chips is the easy part. It's like the tip of an iceberg. The math and setup are the hard part and takes the most time. That's what you excel at. That's the most important part.

    Those costly machines need a brain in order to get something done, this is where teachers work their buts off to educate young ones, older ones, even the Melvins of this world so something can be made from raw materials.

    Thanks Mr. Pete. I love it when you talk about the math behind the work, usually geometry, algebra and frequently trigonometry. Kind of puts the lie to the notion that "shop" isn't technical or precise and the shop students don't need to study math. Keep up the good work - you are keeping us all sane in these crazy times. And yes - I have spent 2 days cleaning up my shop. 😊

    Very nicely done! Good news is you can use that $10k in equipment to make other things too. Getting the rack depth correct is certainly one of the trickey bits. Probably why I often see these with eccentric bushings so the gear mesh can be adjusted after all there tends to be a fair bit of variance in mass produced items.

    Many times back in the day, when I ran up against a difficult math problem to solve, I would take all the known information and accurately draw it 10 times size, and then just measure the unknown dimension. You can readily get to within a thousandth with this method. Seeing you on the shadowgraph reminded me of that trick.

    Aloha Mr. Pete, I am an old guy, but many years ago I was taught to put the blade in a hacksaw with the teeth pointing towards me and I did that for many years. I think looking back the logic of that was we didn't have high tension saw frames and many of the frames we had were pretty springy, therefore the pin on the handle end was solid and tension was kept on the blade. I still find myself doing this if I want to make an accurate cut or on small parts. I also remember a later period where there was a lot of debate as to which way the blade should go. IF it works "DON'T FIX IT" 😁

    • @mrpete222
      @mrpete222  4 ปีที่แล้ว

I was hoping that you would of showed a little detail on the bench mounted press that you made while working on this series. Hopefully you can show it onThis & That, I thought it was a interesting design. It might give some people a idea of a project.

  • @paulhunt598
    @paulhunt598 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lyle,
    I agree with the other enthusiastic and supportive comments. I would have set my milling working depth by touching off of the extended rack before milling. Your method eliminated multiple opportunities for error that my method would have introduced. Your method maintained the mill slot centerline and put the measuring and machining load pressure centered on the actual work location. This was more clever than my method.
    I appreciate the slot milling tip to maintain size and surface finish. I am inclined to mill on size and to take my luck. I find that conventional milling to open each side of the slot to size is better than climb milling. Set up weak points, machine backlash and gib adjustment issues and problems are greatly reduced by reducing the opportunity for the cutter to grab the workpiece damaging the part or the tool. If the setup or part moves, you just lost accuracy.
    I would have done my hole drilling in the mill, but I liked that you demonstrated the drill press method. I employ the demonstrated method in my woodworking all the time. Error is reduced and you eliminate measuring and layout steps.
    I was interested that you didn't true up your square or round stock and still got good results. Custom fitting to your finished parts and employing a bit more than recommended mating tooth depth was prudent. I would like to try eccentric pinion bushings to control pinion tooth mesh depth and reduce backlash... But this is likely over engineering. Commercial arbor presses use gibs screws and shims to compensate for machining inaccuracies and to allow easy field adjustment after wear or damage. Dake employs a spring loaded gib screw to provide tension to keep the arbor press ram from falling. I liked this idea well enough to modify my Famco incorporating that feature.
    I own a Dake model 0. I bought it because it was cute. I have only thought of two times to ever use it. It is so small. Your nut cracker comment just gave me a real use for it. I happened to have fully restored it the other day. So it is pretty enough for the wife to let me bring it upstairs during nut season!

    I liked this video and it was very interesting. I'd love to make a mechanical press some day. Just need to get the machinery. Good job though very thorough.

    Mr Pete. Again today I was reminded why I hate my name. Not one positive thing in this world is associated with Melvin. Anyone even remotely famous changes their name to “Mel” or use their middle name or whatever. It’s been a running theme with people that know me well. The wife was very puzzled when I sat her down to watch that piece on Bubba and Melvin. By the time it was over she was crying with laughter same as I was. By now I take it like the Joke it was intended as. No worries. -- Thanks for the videos and the wife and I thank you for the laugh. :-) -- And BTW, I was not the one in shop class that was like that. I never liked hacksaws but I did tap the compound into the chuck once but -- hey, I was a teenager at the time. :-)

    I think were the education department of the world went wrong was suspending classes in this type of subject, not only metalworking but many others like woodworking, engineering drawing, cooing, sewing, and even art, How many kids nowadays cannot even fry an egg or stitch a button back on not to mention read a plan or map? At school age when you learnt these things they stick.
    At school I learnt the basics of turning both wood and metal, That was when I was between 13 and 16, when I retired at 58 I bought a new cheap chinese lathe and remembered most of what I was taught and made a new pin for a QCTP that i bought with it. I was a bit scared not having the teacher standing there just in case but it fit and worked, I was so gratefull for what Mr Brown taught me. Later I got a mill and the same. Last year I took the toolpost bolt out and it was like a variably threaded bolt from start to finish, at the time of making it I'm sure it was smooth 😎 obviously not 😔 Things in schools have changed a lot since then and i'm not sure its for the better.
    PD I told you the series would be good, thanks

    That was great! You mentioned packing, was that a piece of paper to hold the two pieces from moving in vice?

    Is it the camera angle, or is the last tooth on the rack of the arbor press at 5:28 cut to slim?

    I liked the rack-and-pinion steering demo.

    At 5:26, "It took a little jogging of my memory..." It came right back, didn't it.

    Hi ,Mr Pete , great video liked your method of machining clearance without a lot of calculations. Do you have a method for meshing a round rack as in a drill press mechanism? Really enjoy your videos , thankyou, Roy.
