So the rotary fixture plate is done, right? WRONG. I’ve got just one more feature to add to it. A set of material squaring guides. I have an idea for a dovetail clamp that allows for adjustability, but is also self-squaring. I’ve never seen anything quite like it which could either be a good thing or a bad thing. It’s one of those weird things where the mechanism makes sense, but at the same time… doesn’t. So let’s find out, and build a functional prototype!

Semi-retired machine design engineer here. Very clever idea. The proof of concept with a remaining concern about precision is very familiar. I can hear my boss saying, "That's plenty good for our purpose." The time and effort spent is already justified. But that possibility of reaching the intended precision will keep your mind engaged/distracted for a long time. Excellent work!

This is the kind of video that should be shown to kids in school to get them interested in learning about things like trigonometry and other subjects involved, we are only mostly told to learn things without knowing the practical use. Watching this as a young lad would've made me go "IF I LEARN TO CALCULATE THESE THINGS I CAN MAKE COOL STUFF FROM SCRATCH? SIGN ME UP" As a complete layman to most things related to this field (and not a native english speaker), I thought I was going to skip to the final product but I watched the whole thing mesmerized by the process, even though most of the jargon flew past my head it didn't matter, I wanted to see everything come together. Such a well planed, paced, structured and executed project AND video.

I have an idea to fix your flexing problem that doesn't require hardening (although heat treat would very much help). The bars you made that stay square to the table would need to be a little bit thicker, but you could machine a .075"x.075" ledge into the parallel sides bottom edge where it contacts the table. Then, recut the spreading dovetail piece so it is identical to what you have, EXCEPT have a .065"x.072" backstop sticking up on either end (poking up out of the slot) to fit the ledge you machined into the bar. It would clamp your parallel bars from the outside and prevent them from spreading apart. The .010" difference in height prevents it from lifting the bar when tightened to the table due to each half rotating out and up, and the .003" difference in width keeps the ledge recessed behind your parallel surface for your parts so it doesn't interfere at all. Assuming that it helps keep your bars from bowing, it will also make it easier to snug them to the table! It might make more sense if I sketch it so if you'd like to see what I envision just let me know how to get it to you. Thanks for making such creative projects!

Actually, the problem can be cured by making the guide body in two pieces. A base and a cover in effect. The base is a flat plate with the slot for movement. The top is a box with just a partial slot for the head of the screw. The fun part is how to drive the screw, that is done by using a worm screw setup driven from the end with a hex shaft. In operation, the worm slides along the shaft as you move the body while it stays in engagement with the head of the screw. Then you turn the hex shaft to tighten the screw. A device that even Rube Goldberg would love.

The expanding dovetail is great. As an ME I'd make these mods. 1. 50% longer dovetail. 2. Square shoulders on the dovetail that rise, say, 3/4" above the surface of the rotary fixture plate. 3. A larger, stiffer cross block with an internal slot that rides on the shoulders of the expanding dovetail thus maintaining the 90 degree angle between the dovetail and the cross block.

I think the dove tail has to expand before the guide is clamped. The dovetail sets everything square to the slot. Once square, then the guide can be clamped square to it. In your version the guide is clamping down to the plate surface before the dovetail can pull everything square. To solve this, I think you could have a bolt within a bolt. A shorter larger diameter bolt could thread through the half round and push off the bottom of the dovetail (like a set screw but it needs a bolt head). This same bolt would be tapped for a longer bolt. The longer bolt is for tightening the guide to dovetail insert. Both bolts could be tightened independently. You would need a box wrench and Alan key, like you adjust values on an engine. For bonus points you can do a side project to make an equally fancy tool.

I do like your brass washer idea to stop the screws from damaging the inside of the slides, but they are made of A2 tool steel, and you learned well that you could also just heat treat harden the slides :) EDIT: as for preventing warping, I wonder if it would make sense also bevel the outside bottom of the slides, make the dovetail nuts slightly wider than the slides and cut 2 full V grooves, one for each side of the slide. That should still allow the movement you want when loose, but greatly limit outward flex when tightening. I’m not sure that would solve the issue of friction though, you still might be able to lock it down slightly out of square. EDIT2: Never mind that’s dumb because that would make the nut stick out farther than the edge of the slide. You would also need to make the slides wider and have a skirt of some sort. It would definitely take way more fiddling than it’s probably worth

I have a few thoughts for v2 - 1. Harden the parts to prevent deflection. 2. Since the width of the part isn't important, make it considerably wider to allow for more strength (to prevent deflection when tightened) and allow more surface area for the friction to the table. 3. Do they need to be that long? Shortening them would reduce the requirement for squareness and since they are fences for locating the part and your sweet clamps are holding them, maybe shorter parts will reduce the deflection issue.
@Malex-lt5mv
@Malex-lt5mv 10 ай бұрын
Hardening won’t prevent deflection, the modulus of elasticity is an inherent property of each material and unaffected by heat treat. It will change the force required to “set” a deflection in the part (likely to the point it breaks before deflection sets), but not flex the part in the first place.
@InheritanceMachining

Shorter is a good idea! I also don't even really need the slot adjustability so a simple co-bored hole would work as well.

This is a great idea for this type of work, without a rotary table, a CNC mill, or a rotary cross slide head(Volstro). None of these causes your brain cells to heat up. Many years ago I was given lots of slitting saw work to do. A journeyman on an adjacent mill came to my rescue with a drip feed oiler(archaic) that had a 2 pieces of copper wire twisted together and soldered into the dropper hole. Then he had carefully drilled a small hole up, into the dropper hole. This allowed oil to follow down the “helix” of the wire, and onto the cutter next to the part surface. Centrifugal force moved the oil to the cutter teeth. A good sulphurized oil will help in any manner that you add it. Drip feed oilers may be a rare bird these days. Again I do like your work. It is neat looking, and functionally accurate. This trade does tend to expand a person’s shop talk vocabulary. One rule that covered any slitting saws, and especially the 6”-10” ones, was that there were to be no keys in the arbors. They were a sure way to split the cutter in a plug up of chips.

This looks like a great concept. Thanks for sharing it. One possible idea for round two: Ditch the slot in the guide bar, maybe replacing it with a series of holes so you have a discrete set of adjustment points on that axis. Less flexibility in terms of adjustment, but that should mean the bar becomes much more resistant flexing as it tightens down.

@camothrowback1526
@camothrowback1526 10 ай бұрын
Was thinking about the wall thickness because essentially having your wall thickness thicker, the amount of deformational effect from torquing down the part should become minimized. That however will depend if you increase the size of your screw and of course you will have limitations on the level of accuracy you may want to round corners with (e.g. workspace use), but the heat treatable alloy is a good thought.

pretty cool idea there. regarding your 2 design problems: one might just be tackled by a little extra width for less deformation of the outer edges. Or a little inward step on the bottom so that your reference edge only starts "above" the alignement chamfer. for the to high friction of the part in terms of the final squaring, it might help to add relieve cuts on the bottom/contacting edge every few millimeters... possibly with a rounded profile, so it doesn't dig in that much. I guess this needs fine tuning, to enough friction for proper stability but not enough so it doesn't square... I'm not sure if those two will go together :)

Suggestions: Instead of one-sided beveled edges, it needs to be two compliant v-grooves either side on the top surface of the lower piece (two bevels each side, effectively, 4 altogether). Then the bottom bracket is forced into the upper block, re-enforcing its width dimension, not pushing the sides apart, and you can then lose the lower compliance cut. The clamp needs to be a cam lever-lock [at least, for a 1st stage compression, to get the clamping forces loaded up before a secondary nip], like on a bicycle seat post, then there is no torque being applied during the clamping action.

Just because it’s now public knowledge shouldn’t keep you from getting a patent. The biggest problem is the cost of the patent. This I know first hand as I’ve patented several motorcycle performance products . I’ve been knocked off by some big boys . One in fact was Harley Davidson. The fact that they even admitted they stole my idea still left me high and dry. I spent a bunch of money securing a utility patent. This is the only patent that really offers you protection. A design patent is virtually useless because a simple 10% change and your out of the game. Now a utility patent protects the idea itself regardless of design changes. While this all is true the BIG problem is how well the patent was applied for and written up. Big boys with deep pockets will have their attorneys pic it apart and most always find something they can use to beat you. Maybe not however but in the process you will spend a small fortune defending your patent. As in the case with HD while they agreed they stole it they replied saying you won’t live long enough to collect. Your patent is only as good as the money you have to defend it. Of course if your fortunate enough to have a perfect attorney your ok. However you will spend serious money in securing that as well. You will then have to basically prove how much money you will loose in sales as a result of this. The other sad part is you need to spend money to renew the patent ( I believe it was every3 or 5 years) bottom line is that you’d better be ready to spend serious money. Hence you really need something that will potentially produce even bigger money. In actuality it’s pretty pathetic that a patent is intended to help out the small guy with not so deep pockets and falls way short of that. Wrong…..simply WRONG.

You could use a camshaft to expand from the top instead of the bottom with just a quarter or half turn. That should help the friction problem by eliminating the bottleneck. Another way could be using a tapered nut and a bushing with a thrust bearing between it and the bolt. It would work like a vice pulling the two tapered pieces together when tightened and pushing them apart when loosened. This would, in my mind, compensate for wear over time with its ability to expand further the more the bolt is rotated. You could also dovetail the stop, using a design very similar to yours, to push down expanding the lower dovetail and pull up expanding the upper dovetail. This should lock both the top and bottom pieces independently with clearance, if needed, between the two using one bolt and probably be less likely to have any play. Hope this makes sense as I don't know the jargon because I have almost zero experience with this kind of thing. Would love to have access to a shop and a mentor though. I have a mind for it.

I​​f you made them from A2, then hardened it all, it might. You could also try a rectangular nut, instead of round, to increase contact & resistance to spread. Then go w/ a square cut & slot instead of a taper. Another thought, rather than merely going beefier w/ the top block, would be to make it 1 sided w/ a ridge back on the other a la a long, cast iron precision straight edge. Then make the other side slightly beefier.

Easyest way to mill round features is to just buy a cnc 🤣 but i really admire your patience with manual machining. I could not do what you do just because i know i could do it much faster and effortless on a cnc

@@InheritanceMachining on a cnc you dont have to turn any handwheels or swing levers so you can do something else when the machine is running and making multiple of something is really easy

And don't get me wrong i have huge respect for the machinists that made really complicated parts bevore cnc existed. I also enjoy manual machining there is something satisfying about grinding your own lathe tools. But once you get used to capeable machines and CNC you hardly ever wan't to go back

... what I like about your work is your commanding knowledge of mathematics and geometry you seem to be a trained draftsman if not a mechanical engineer, and you tackle anything that comes your way ... at 74 years, it brings some fond memories ... as I've said before, ingenuity unlimited ...

I like it. Make the guides round then they can`t be out of tram.

This is a great idea, only problem is that the point of contact will always be in line with the dovetail slot, so small parts can't be held.

Pretty cool design. Your videos are a must to watch every time the project is very interesting and well thought. I might have a solution to the splitting problem but it includes remaking the dovetail clamp and slide bars. You can reverse the two cone features on the slide bar and dovetail and make a protruding rectangular feature that's a snug sliding fit on the slot you've made for the clamping screw. So as you clamp down the screw the reversed cone tries to shrink the parallel guide but as there's the internal rectangle feature that should stop almost immediately and you'll get less deflection. I don't think I've been very clear but as I'm not a native English speaker it's difficult to explain. If you want I can make a quick drawing and send it to you.

Nope, I completely followed that 😁 I think that would work great actually. Added to the list of possible fixes! Thanks for the idea and kind words!

3:25 Actually yes that makes a lot of sense... Brilliant thinking! After watching: I think you might be able to solve your expansion issue by either thickening the walls of the top piece by about 0.200" each or by having a sort of bull bar arrangement where there's one surface (about the size of the current walls) that is separated from the rest of the part except for attaching at the ends. It would be immune to the expansion of the clamping portion because of the gap.
