@@tonywilson4713 I have 2 printers myself and have done a lot of research in the last few months for a friend who wanted to buy one. I came to the conclusion that if you want it to work great out of the box, get a Prusa i3 Mk3. If you want to save a lot of money and still have a great first 3d printer, get an Ender 3 V2. The Prusas apparently really are amazing, and the Ender 3's are great and a *ton* of hobbyists own them, so they're really easy to fix or upgrade. Unfortunately, I own neither of those. I have 2 TronXY printers, 1 that I loved (it's basically an ender 3 clone and I'm in the middle of upgrading it) and 1 that I've had nothing but problems with and wouldn't wish on an enemy.

I routinely make the pockets in my 3D prints a little deeper than the magnets. I tell my slicer that I plan to change filament, pausing the printer so that I can drop the magnet into the pocket and then usually print 2 layers over the magnet. This gives me embedded (and hidden) catches. That lets me skip the tappy-tap-tap and glue, as well as ensuring that the magnets will never work free.

As a retired elder who spent some years of my education and career in industrial arts, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing, I very well recognize that you have an astoundingly good understanding of the many fundamental tools, practices, techniques, and methods of industrial machining and related materials and crafts. Since the teaching of "industrial arts" in public schools has now been entirely abandoned almost everywhere (I suppose for "liability reasons"), I often wonder where you have learned it so well without actually being previously trained and employed as a professional machinist. (Perhaps you actually were, and I'm just ignorant of that fact.) As you well know, you are a very unique person for your age in this respect. I admire and respect your abilities, knowledge, energy, ambition, cleverness, persistence, and resolve. Your willingness and courage to extend your knowledge and challenge yourself with difficult projects is truly wonderful. You have a natural talent for teaching these topics too, along with a great sense of humor, and you should be commended for sharing your knowledge and experience so freely. Best wishes to you!

@stevecallachor1 2 жыл бұрын

G’day mate, Caught your comment about industrial arts disappearing from schools……….I’ll make some assumptions here………. The cost of setting up specialist rooms for teaching hands on skills were astronomical. Most of the rooms would have $50,000 of gear in them. Most of the gear is dangerous so the rooms can only be used for specialist instruction, you can’t take a French class into a woodwork room without some risk. Imagine a young teacher in a woodwork room for a double period of History, for two periods after lunch on a Thursday………..disaster!!! The other problem is that the majority of specialist teachers in these courses were recruited from the ranks of artisans, recruited from industry in the early days and many returned servicemen. We can’t go back to the 1970s when boys did woodwork, metalwork and Technical drawing, while the girls did cooking’ and sewin’. Sad as it seems that’s the way it was!! Stavros

My shop is in the basement of my home and to make a long story less long, I passed up a chance at an old Southbend lathe and Bridgeport mill for $2000 (yeah, I cried for three days) because of space limitations and absolutely no way to get them in. So, I've been working on a Precision Matthews 1228VF-LB lathe and I'm considering purchasing a PM-25MV mill. Your space situation is similar to mine and these videos have been a great source of inspiration for my small shop addiction. I'm finding that with a little ingenuity you can make some fairly precise parts with some of the import stuff. I've had good luck with the PM lathe. Brilliant design of this fixture, BTW. When I finally get a mill in here I think it will be one of my first projects - after getting the vice, rotary table, tooling, etc. of course, and a partridge in a pear tree.

That was very good Quinn. I guess if you did not have that fixture you could use an m2 centre, put your part on the centre pack between that and the table. Then clamp down. The centre would give you a larger hole size variation, just have to have a selection of packing. Just a thought 😀

@Gottenhimfella Жыл бұрын

Adjustable parallels would be good for that setup. And if needing to take heavy cuts, it does occur to me that a more secure alternative to a Morse 2 centre with its 60deg conical tip would be a Morse 2 > Jacobs Taper (drill chuck) arbor. It would still allow for a (lesser) variation in hole diameter but would not produce the same degree of uplift as a reaction to the cutting forces.

I remember about a year ago watching one of your videos for the first time. I was shocked to see that you were measuring and working to tenths, and with hobby equipment to boot! I felt pretty inadequate given that at that point I thought i was doing well to get things within a few thou. I told myself that Quinn must be a formally trained machinist with over a decade of experience. When I learned this was not the case I felt even more humbled. But you know what. I have kept watching and learning and bit by bit, little by little I have gotten much better. In this video I watched with great interest the close ups of how you handle that micrometer when making measurements. Such a gentle touch! Almost like you were handling gold leaf. Now I know I am too ham fisted with the mic. I need to get some gage blocks and practice! Anyway I love your videos and have decided to become a Patreon. Keep up the great work and I will keep watching and learning, and one day perhaps I will become a reasonably skilled amateur machinist. Thanks!

I laughed out loud when the 3D printed box appeared. Brilliant attention to detail. Thank You for the amazing videos you make, I'm hooked on them and can't wait for the next one to come along.

Hello Quinn and thanks for this very timesaving solution for finding the zero when setting up the rotary table. I have spent far too much time fiddeling with indicator clock. Instead of making my taper (MT3) I bought a MT3 that was supposed for holding a drill chuck. I found that the very cheap ones are not hardened as quality parts generally are. Price was about 4 USD allthough the steel was pretty hard to machine.

Thank you for this video. I used a mandrel that sticks up 1,5” or so from the dividing table. Setting that up for rounding a 1” thick and 3” wide bar of aluminium took forever! Will definetly use something like this for next time. A tip: If you drill a blind hole in the material you want to rund you can simply have a pin in the mandrel going into the hole and Keep it fixed with a clamp. That way you can avoid unwanted holes on the outside/display side of your work.

I sadly don't have a workshop, but I love watching machinist making things (I seem to be subscribed to all the channels you namedrop). I do, however, have a 3D printer, and you have inspired me this video to make some little boxes for the random collection of tools I do have!

I am reluctant to use my 10” RT as it weighs more than me. I bought a 6” import = much better. I love this idea!! Thank you

Thanks for including the 3d printed box in the video, I've been trying to think of a good way to make a box for my cheapo dial indicator and that's a pretty elegant way to do it. Fantastic video as always!

That's a nice fixture! I have something somewhat similar ( not nearly as sophisticated) I use for making Barrel bushings on 1911 pistols. Building it into the Morse taper is a handy idea. If you back counterbored that central threaded hole you could put a brass rod inside there and then tighten up on a screw to pop the morse taper out without having to remove the Rotary. I think I'm going to have to make one of these
