or "Exercise extreme caution I guess"

A bit closer to origin sounds better in my opinion: "Ours is not to make reply, ours is not to question why, ours is but to build the die" bit long tho

We used to say it: "Ours is not to reason why, ours is just to Tool & Die"

A lav mic would be killer.

indeed, the audio quality is actually acceptable, but very very quiet - a boost and normalization in editing would be a massive zero-hardware improvement :-)

@@rootvalue If you didn't notice, he had a lav mic already - maybe there was something wrong with the position or settings :)

Makes the most delicate, intricate, specialized tools, using the most delicate, intricate, specialized tools. Has the worst mic on the planet.

Have you heard a machine shop? My ears done work to well anymore and you guys are worried about the fine vocal quality of Adam's presentation? I'd suggest more content before worrying about you sound quality!

Is there a German word for Compound Chamfer?

@@joehoandroid komplizierte, oder (aus verschiedenen Teilen) zusammengesetzte Fase. Also genau so, wie die Fase (= Die Fase ist eine abgeschrägte Fläche an einer Werkstückkante), die im Video zu sehen ist.

The only problem is that when the end product comes out poorly, the client starts to blame it on you and cite non-existent claims like how another company did it the way they asked and the product came out perfectly (which contradicts why they came to you instead of the other company in the first place). Then you gotta waste your time dealing with their nonsense. It's the same for all industries.

That's why it's easier for designers to become machinists or vice versa. Unless you like to argue with yourself, that presents a new issue I suppose.

Yes, sometimes the lack of communication between the engineering and manufacturing results in very expensive and longer times. A complete stupid thing from engineers not listen the machinists feedback. But in my country sometimes the shop knows that is a better/easier way but they make more money the way you asked so they do the more expensive as requested.

that's why engineers with manufacturing experience are great. btw did you know that you can friction weld wood? I learned that in my engineering book. basically rotate a dowel into a slightly undersized hole, and then use a hard stop, you can also use that for surface on surface with a linear motion.

also even with cnc, sometimes the choice of material or process can matter, I saw some dude fully 3d print a speaker box as a rush job when he could have at least made the base with a hand router and guides and saved like a day of printing (out of a 60 hour print.) and even then, the sides could have been cut mdf and saved even more time. cnc is great but it's also not magical, and some features can be impossible on some machines and require costly changes of manufacturing or simply remounting the piece (for example clipping the toolhead when putting a hole next to a corner).

I quit watching the other Adam too.

Yep, it’s a feature on the heidenhain readout . Didn’t see a ton of value in it at first but I now use it a lot , makes dressing very consistent

archeologist found it scribed on the inside of the pyramids and its been handed down from toolmaker to toolmaker in a secret ceremony since

Truthfully though, during my apprenticeship I had to take a 50 hour class exclusively on compound angles in toolmaking. solving for tilt and nod work in mills, double angle plates, and angle and tilt/rotation work. all work had to be sketched out as the three triangles forming the compound angle and solved with trig tables. Great course, really made me learn to not fear the triangle. Of the 8 of us that went thru it , I'm the only one still in the trade :(

@@adamthemachinist Dang, thats completely missing from my education. I have to figure stuff like that our in Cad. I feel like thats a serious lack on my side.

Sent a quick note to your LinkedIn too.

You do need to take care to position the dresser at center . What wasn’t filmed is confirming the wheel angle by grinding thru a thin razor blade and checking the angle on the microscope . Some people also use graphite . If you search “superb industries tour” you see me giving a tour of my old jobs grind department and we go into detail about that .

It’s a newbould model 100 , no longer in production but they’re on eBay occasionally

Thanks for asking that, i should have labeled the excel cells better . Cell b1 is the horizontal changer and c1 is the near vertical one

@@adamthemachinist I was referring to the angles you used in the formulas on the calculator. On the first formula for rotation angle, if the bottom angle was 30° and the short side that you dress the angle on is 15°. would the formula be arctan(cos(30°)*tan(15°)?

thats correct for the rotation . wheel angle would =ATAN(SIN(ATAN(COS(30))*TAN(15))*TAN(15)).

@@adamthemachinist Thank you sir!

@@douglaspierce7031 thanks to clarify this important detail

Audio seems to be my nemesis. Ultimately I don’t have much time or desire to buy camera gear, so I film all day with the gear I have and try to make the best of it when I edit it together .

@@adamthemachinist Great video, although maybe a graphical explanation of how the dressing angle calculation goes could have been nice To be fair the audio quality is acceptable, but mostly very quiet. Amplifying (each section up to 0dB) and/or compressing (the audio kind, not filesize kind) in editing (eg. Audacity) would be a huge improvement without any extra hardware :-)

If the customer specifically ask me to make some recommendations for dfm I’ll do that , but usually the process and emailing takes as much time as making the original feature

@@adamthemachinist Thats a good point, especially if you are just making one piece. It's probably a better use of time to make it to the drawing than sit around waiting for a reply.

mptec, its quite nice and the joints lock up in stages versus all at once. so you can lock the base joint and elbow but leave the wrist loose for smaller adjustment and then lock.

@@adamthemachinist thanks for the reply. really enjoying your content so far, cant wait for the next video.

you can approach it systematically with a edge finder or indicator, but the sharp edge of the diamond nib isn't very centered on the shank . Ultimately I just eyeball it and check the results coming off the machine. That sounds crude but you would be surprised how good eyes are at lining up the bottom of a wheel to the tip of the diamond. one trick is to move the table back and forth slightly as you lower the wheel . if the wheel is at the tip height , it will only make contact when the diamond is at the center of the wheel .

Tried to adjust the audio some, I’m very much so on the steep part of the video learning curve

@@adamthemachinist you're doing way better than me, all good. Just need a Bluetooth lapel mic. Rode or something that has good dynamic range.

@@adamthemachinist The levels are a lot better than they were. 👍 An inexpensive lav mic would help a lot when speaking to the camera. Thank you for making the effort to improve your audio!

@@adamthemachinist In your video editor of choice look for an option called normalise audio and apply that to each clip for the next video. Normalise to -1dB to give it a slight amount of headroom. This will look for the loudest peak in the clip and then bring the level up to the target that you've set. This will also bring up the noise floor, which is not apparent for a loud clip but will be apparent for a clip that was recorded very quietly. To combat this adjust your gain during recording such that the loudest sound you expect to record is just below clipping. If you have a clip where the gain was set too low and you need to use it you can try to save it with some noise reduction but too much will make the sound very unnatural. If you have questions I'm happy to help, I've worked as a videographer and editor on the side for a few years. I tried linking to a guide once before but youtube decided to remove the comment.

this was shown to me during my apprenticeship , I haven't seen this subject in any books about grinding

I check the vertical chamfers size off line with a sin bar like shown for the horizontal and sneak up on the size .

I’ll have to give that a try

Sure , I love new ways of doing things. The second expression can simplified by just using the answer from the first for a portion of it . I choose to do it long for the sake of clarity
