I enjoyed the series . . . and I found this digest version interesting as well. Making tools with tools to make more tools always makes for good content.
Wow, I'd quite forgotten how much additional work went into constructing this press. What Brandon over at the Inheritance Machining channel refers to as "side projects". Kudos to you for seeing it through and what a really useful no. of additional tools you ended up with as a result. Nothing rough & ready either. Your tools are beautifully made.
Excellent video. I really admire the ambitious route you take to make your designs with monster pieces of stock and all. Very interesting from start to finish, bravo! and cheers, thanks for the vid!
I watched the whole series as they were released and am in awe of the jobs you tackle on machinery so similar to mine! This video really brought home the amount of work and effort! Keep them coming :)
I think the giant taps plus the tap wrench are my favorite project of yours. Just as a spoof they'd be awesome, but the fact that you actually purpose built and used them for a project elevates it to top tier for me. While I love the fancy pants machinists of YT like ToT or IM to death, you've quickly become my favorite machining channel on here. I really admire your dedication and commitment to playing the long game.
Im used to watching youtubers that have every single possible tool they could want and a great large lathe, its nice to see normal makers that probably dont have everything
Indeed. You can't throw a rock on youtube without hitting some channel showing off the zillions of $ some guy spent on his workshop equipment. I like this modest approach, it's more relatable.
You can get mill bits for mold making. They’re available in numerous tapers. Easy tapers that are close to ACME are 15 and 30 degrees per side. If you’re also making the nut, it’s easy. You will get galling when one item is hardened. It may take a while. Unlike hardening both, where microscopic imperfections will get smoothed out, the hardened part will cut the us hardened part. Whether it’s a problem is something you’ll find out over months if you use it a lot. Anyway, it’s an ambitious project. Congratulations on its successful completion. It’s looks great.
I’m aware of that but I looked at the cost for getting a pack of them in and I just couldn’t afford them. Square threads are fine so I wasn’t too concerned about trying to change them
Good video! I reckon this is the best re-cap I've seen on youtube, most people just do lots and lots of high speed. This was excellent! I also enjoyed the original series!
My dad had a floor standing manual fly press that stood as tall as him. It always amazed me that with one man/kid power we could fold 2mm thick plate steel. And it was the first "machine" he let me use in his commercial tool shop business. So yeah, I totally get the joy of using it thing... but getting donked on the head by that fly ball is no fun at all.
😂 This was so awesome to watch and wonderfully presented. The oversized tooling was just perfect. The tap holder looks like something Abomb79 would love. You definitely get your moneys worth out of your machinery.
0:15 immediately hurt me, you should be pressing the bearing from the outside of the bearing, not pressing the center like that... unless that piece is hollow in the middle and I'm missing something, yikes.
Thanks for putting together a video dedicated to the fabrication of your fly press. I really enjoy watching you work on a project. If I may make a suggestion for an improvement if practicable. If you were able to increase the amount of grease on each side of the moving part of your fly press, you may gain greater effective output. If it's practicable, consider installing Zirk fittings to feed more grease to the existing channels. I look forward to your next video. Best of luck!
That is one massive project! You should be proud of yourself dude! That may look overengineered but that's gotta be way stronger than anything else save actual cast steel. You may have inheritance machining beat on the number of side projects for this one 😂
This is my favorite of your projects too, and has inspired me to try to build something similar myself. Mine will probably take longer than 10 months though, lol.
At 24:30, Could you have put those big chunks of steel in your oven and heated them to 500+ before welding and then back into the oven for slow cooling? Would it be stronger, especially for the over arching screw mount? It just seems to me that one day when you least expect it, a big bang will happen and one of those welds breaks because of the extreme twisting/bending force the screw applies to the overarm to base connection. plus the inherent stress of the welding process in which such dissimilar temperatures/heat affected zones now exist. I enjoyed the series and this recap. Thanks for making this video!
At 36:08, you could bolt it to a piece of wood big enough for you and it to stand on together. You could even place extra weight (Poured, molded & cured cement?) between the legs for more ballast. Just a thought.
So I worked in a high pressure high temperature laboratory where we simulated conditions in planetary cores. All presses where hydrolic offcourse but I am curious what would be the maximum pressure of a mechanical press. Could one make diamonds with some heat, gears and screws?
@@trirahmat5384 yess, we occasionally accidentally made diamonds in experiments but only with the hydraulic presses on carbide anvils that would press everything together.
Honestly my biggest takeaway from this series was that you're in desperate need of a bandsaw. I shudder at the thought of those angle grinder cuts and it would have made those v-blocks so much faster to mill out.
After having watched you build this press, and since I am doing a handful of bearing press fits, I was wondering if it wouldn’t be easier and cheaper to buy a 6in machine vise, mount it vertically, and simply make a fly wheel handle for it?
@@artisanmakes yes, indeed. i had forgotten about the exit slot downwards, which is impossible on a vertical vise. I just snapped a 1/2ton press in half by applying too much torque, and I went back to the vise for swaging some camera mounting plates.
If we follow his last shop tour video, you'd see that he's running slim in real estate in his workspace for anything else. I do think a small bandsaw is better than no bandsaw though.
I watched the whole series as you were building it and thought it was great. I have to ask though, how much? Like... How much did that 75mm bar stock cost? The whole thing had to be expensive.
okay I do love the idea of just having a comically enormous set of taps and a tap wrench sitting out on a shelf somewhere, and if anyone asks, you just tell them you had a comically big thread to make and shrug
The bigges tap i have at home is M45x1,5 and i thought this was huge. Why did you make a Fly press and not a ratcheting arbor press ? Does this design of yours have Advantages over a ratcheting arbor press or do you just like fly presses more ?
Don't want to seem critical, but MIG welding is wrong here - at least use a "dualshield" type gas shielded flux core for thick steel! I highly recommend doing some weld tests if you never have. When it's thick, use a stick, if you want it to stay stuck.
Did I leave that part in where I said mig welding probably wasn’t the best. I can’t remember if I did but yeah I know it wasn’t the best. But 5 tones of force ain’t going to be breaking that welding
My company was throwing out a Vizor No 4S fly press. I took it home. The idiot workers were using the weight as a bowling ball and I have no idea what had happened to it so that part of the press unfortunately is missing. I only have the press and handle, the rest was probably tossed or scrapped. So many thousands of dollars ended up in the dumpster.
4:50 drag welding isnt the best would u wash a basket ball court full of leaves by walking backwards with a hose ? or walk forward spraying the hose at the leaves.
@artisanmakes Love the channel, really enjoying the videos! Saw a great video for something you might want to build as a project. Have a look at the channel “Jeremy makes things” for the 1950’s Power Hacksaw Restoration. When I saw it I thought of your channel and cutting metal.

It was actually good to look ae the whole process in 18 minutes. Thank you.😃
The thought of one of the giant taps snapping in the hole had me on the edge of my seat😱

Superb skills and determination on show here, I'm glad I found another worthy engineer to follow. Thanks for the video!
23 minutes of yac shaving - love it !
The amount of work and side projects that went into this project is absolutely impressive!
Congrats!
One of your best documented Builds. Enjoyed this one.

Awesome video mate! Keep em coming!! 👌
Nice to see it all together after all the nice video's with much more depth during the last year.
That tap wrench is insane
Good video!
I reckon this is the best re-cap I've seen on youtube, most people just do lots and lots of high speed. This was excellent! I also enjoyed the original series!
Great recap, you had a lot of steps to take alright, thanks for the rewind.
Great project, great build. Nicely done.
Thanks for sharing.
Fascinating build indeed, dude! Fantastic work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
i had to pause and take a sec, this is intense, those taps better frickin work!!

we need to get this guy a BIGGER SHOP

The bottom is relieved

Like most fly presses a larger counterbored hole in the base holding a removable headed ring would add a lot of possibilities.
At 36:08, you could bolt it to a piece of wood big enough for you and it to stand on together. You could even place extra weight (Poured, molded & cured cement?) between the legs for more ballast. Just a thought.
Nice build buddy!👍👍👍
So I worked in a high pressure high temperature laboratory where we simulated conditions in planetary cores. All presses where hydrolic offcourse but I am curious what would be the maximum pressure of a mechanical press. Could one make diamonds with some heat, gears and screws?
Isn't synthetic diamond made that way? But with a diamond starter first
@@trirahmat5384 yess, we occasionally accidentally made diamonds in experiments but only with the hydraulic presses on carbide anvils that would press everything together.
Amazing project
wow wow wow, where is this dividing head / stepper motor marriage video ? I dare say I would love to see that, Thanks for the awesome content !
You should build a bandsaw next lol jk your videos are awesome buddy keep it up!!
Lol this video is like the definition of deep branch dependency project sindrome :P

That’s how I used to do it, but I don’t think you’d be cutting key ways with a vise
@@artisanmakes yes, indeed. i had forgotten about the exit slot downwards, which is impossible on a vertical vise. I just snapped a 1/2ton press in half by applying too much torque, and I went back to the vise for swaging some camera mounting plates.
Someone get this man a bandsaw! Or you can make it a project...
If we follow his last shop tour video, you'd see that he's running slim in real estate in his workspace for anything else. I do think a small bandsaw is better than no bandsaw though.
I was thinking a decent Oxy torch would be a good idea.. would have made many of those cuts much easier...
great over view

Top Job, Sir 👌
Damn, you're uploading at almost midnight. Don't forget to get some rest.
The upload probably completed at midnight
Does he live in the US ?
No Australia
3.30 if he's on the east coast
@@mysticmarble94 iirc he's Australian. So his timezone isn't much differ from my timezone, and when I make the comment it was almost midnight.
okay I do love the idea of just having a comically enormous set of taps and a tap wrench sitting out on a shelf somewhere, and if anyone asks, you just tell them you had a comically big thread to make and shrug
I, for one, am waiting for the four hour video to be posted
Классная работа!
Monumental 👏👏👍😀
15:40 torque multiplier might be good ?
The bigges tap i have at home is M45x1,5 and i thought this was huge.
Why did you make a Fly press and not a ratcheting arbor press ? Does this design of yours have Advantages over a ratcheting arbor press or do you just like fly presses more ?
You are good.. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks!
Was the decision to make the thread profile asymmetric/unbalanced (sticking out part thinner) deliberate or just because of the end mill size you had
I kept snapping my 4mm endmills so I stepped up to 5.
@@artisanmakes ah yes I see. guess it makes it easier to tap the threads too because less material to remove
Yeah. I wish there was a really smart answer behind it, but yeah it simply came down to material removal and me snapping endmills
Amazing work man, do bolt it down though
As a more entry-level project, I''m going to build a swatter.
I hope you had a backing behind the inner ring of that bearing otherwise it's scrapped

How many tons of press and can share your file design?

why screw and don't use hydraulic ?
You get better feel of the pressure you are applying

Ah yes the ole video recycling
Bud very nice I wish we could be friends I love this kinda work iv made all my shop tools lath mills and even a stick welder hit me up we be friends
I got tired just watching you trying to turn those big taps.
