Mark, I defer to your knowledge, skills and ability in discussions with my friends. I once ran a machine tool business. So your question on production. The Martini-Henry rifle is a modification of the Peabody. And that lockup of the loading tray/bolt to the frame is epic. The British cut that frame with a device called a “side brooch”. It plowed out a rounded grove up in the frame. A rough cut in essence. A rounded cutter, think file, was then suspended on a shaft and partially rotated to further finish the cut. It was finally finished to dimension by lapping in the bolt with abrasive paste. This is why you can’t just swap bolts among old martini rifles. The tolerance on that bolt and the abutment is typically 0.001 inch or less longitudinally when in battery. And yet “parts” bolts for those guns may vary by 3-5 thousandths of an inch bolt to bolt. Because rach was fit using this laborious process. Now today we would use a 5-axis CNC with a ball end mill and simply cut that fillet and be done. They did not have that luxury. They improvised. Enjoyed your video as always. Fox out.

Would a "side broach" be similar to a shaper cutter?

@MrJento 2 жыл бұрын

@@danmenes3143 The “ thingy” I saw in a museum of industry in England was a mechanical brooch. Usually the bit is flat and cuts into the stock as it’s secured to the table. This one had an extension that stuck out the side with a button that would cut in a “blind” space. I eas informed that it had been used on the “muskets”, several martinis being on display I presumed that was the musket in question. I am not a machinist by trade. I came into CNC equipment on the computer side. But in consulting on programming I frequently asked how’d you make this thang in the bad old days. They were usually glad to explain all the gigs and fixtures to me. Then I’d write them a cad/cam file and go home. Different strokes for different folks. We learn as we go. Then I went home, took my martini all apart cleaned off the grease and started looking at tool marks up in the nooks and crannies. Fox out.

As per your question.. "How do they get that relief cove cut put in there?"..... Manually. Here is a video of the "ENDIE", not the "OUTTIE" or the "INNIE"... The the "OUTTIE" and the "INNIE" are two other processes, still manually dealt with, by means of manually assembling the cutting tool(s) once inside of or passed through an obstruction area... Although, this video I am placing a link to, may look primitive, in their processes, where as today manufacturing processes of full throttle automation has allowed for a more efficient mass production, there is still some processes, that no machining center can simply handle. At least not with out buying, or having built some high measure of specialty machining system that performs just that one odd/random step, that can be handled simply manually/by hand and cheaper tooling. I would recommend simply watching the video for the sake of how great our beloved western world has it. But, if you pay note starting at the TIME STAMP of @6:00 for about 30 seconds... You will see, the dual "ENDIE" manual hand cutting tool in action, and the cutting surfaces dimensions are simply controlled by the nut at that other end, which also serves as the ease of removing the cutter to then remove the shank from the already reamed double shear holes, for the sewing machine's lift arm axle/bell crank axle. Enjoy. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJhhpdh-rMurkWg.html

I suspect the radius was cut using a cam directed single point tool something like a shaper or planer. Today I might do such an operation with a die sinking EDM. But that is not suitable for high volume production. I look at how many of the cuts are made on lever action firearms and wonder how it was done. Manufacturers in the past built a lot of dedicated machinery.

To make that cut in the back of the receiver, I would modify a ball endmill so it would have a spherical section on the end and machine to near the outside. After the semicircle cut I would fixture the receiver in a rotary table and use a slotting head attachment on a milling machine to make square corners with another custom ground tool. This last operation would clean up the edges and square them to the ends of the semicircle cut area. I used to work for John Martz Luger maker from Lincoln, CA. On the barrel extensions there is a stud cut into the side of the extension and it has a radiused area that can only be accomplished by using a slotting head on a milling machine, a correctly made tool and as the slotting head is reciprocating the rotary table is turning the barrel extension cutting a radius inside a small area. There were three or four parts on the Luger pistol that had parts that had to be slotted while rotating on a rotary table. Nice work Mark!

@jbryant6088 2 жыл бұрын

I believe that unknown cut you're asking about was done with the same type tool used to trim down the ears on the bottom of a 1911 barrel where the slide stop holds back the barrel. Like starting an old crank style Model T Ford, you have the crank rod, and a slide on sideways reamer bit used to cut the radius as you turn the crank. The bit would have to move across the plane of the radius as it's cranked, cutting from one side to the other.

@12:57 I would assume that was cut with a roller mill or a cutting wheel with the mandrel/arbor beeing cust above the receiverbody. Most parts where probably done on horizontal miling machines as they allow for lower cutting speeds and thus accomodate for the worse materials back in the day.

I don't know what the technical term is historically, but a machine similar to a belt sander sized perfectly for the width of the action could relatively easily grind the small amount of metal necessary to form the round and seat the bolt.

@webtoedman 2 жыл бұрын

I have a horizontal mill, and I suspect that it would be difficult to produce the small radius of the cut using a conventional set-up. The diameter of the arbours on standard machines start at one inch, so the diameter of the cutters is bigger than that. I thought about it for a while, then it occurred to me that it could be done with a "Bull nose", (Spherical ended) slot drill. It would leave the ends of the cut with a radius, but it would not be difficult to make a smooth bodied cylindrical cutter with teeth on the end faces, driven by a shaft through the holes provided for the axis pin. Slow and inefficient, but labour was cheap back then.

I've often thought about how they cut the breech block shoulders in the martinis, and with it sharing the axis of the hinge pin hole it would have had to have been cut through that hole. It's possible it was roughed out with a radius milling cutter through the top then set up in a fixture with holes matching the pin hole on a separate machine. Here you could insert an arbor and cutter (similar to a line boring operation) to finish the radius to size and square up the corners. I might give it a try for fun, maybe make up a mock receiver and some tooling. If it's a success I'll post a video.

As far as the machining steps for that rear cut. I would assume they did the bulk of the cutting to open it up drilled both holes then had a small radius cutter that was placed through the screw hole to cut the initial rear slot and then kept increasing in cutter diameter. I wish I could draw it out because I can't very well write out what I'm thinking in a clear enough form to make sense.

I assume they made the cut which takes the recoil load by using a cutter you assemble within the frame, i.e. put the cutting wheel inside the frame, them put the drive shaft through the pin holes and through the cutter, secure it somehow and then do the cutting.

Not all metal was removed by rotary milling cutters. I think broaches were also used in some firearm manfacturing. Look at the breech block mortise in the receivers on the Winchester low walls and high walls for instance. If you are making a few thousand of some part, a dedicated machine and cutter specific for that problematic part would be justified.

I do love to watch Mark work. I had at one time aspirations of becoming a gun smith. But due to the regulations and such with taking that on and the almost war against the Second Amendment I took another path. But I do very much enjoy watching Mark do his thing.

Back than they did a lot of scraping, broaching and chiseling (dont know if the words are correct, technichal terms are difficult to translate), by hand or by machine. I have some workshop notes from a gunsmith school dated from the 60's/70's, they did the complete action for a break action rifle from a forging blank by hand. I can imagine for mass production they had a scraping machine with form tools or something similar.

You should just add a very small bead of tig weld or 2 after you line up the holes. This is done with a lot of manufacturers and doesn't harm anything.

A dremel on guns is a lot like an X-acto knife. An X-acto knife it practically the same system as a surgeon's scalpel. It just depends on who is holding it.

You must be one of the luckiest guys around, you get to handle and test fire weapons most of us will never be lucky enough to see in person, personally I'd be honored to work as your apprentice but I doubt your schedule would allow you to train anyone.

Bag master Mark, I thought you were going to shoot me with its cleaning rod. Glad to see another one back on the firing line.

Index a cutter on a boring bar through both inline holes. Kinda like an I,D. groove on a mill. Maybe

I live in Birminghsm UK not far from BSA where you can Go to the Gun Quarter and see all the old tools and machines used..one type of Barrel made by bending a single piece of wire around a bar n soldering in All the gaps in the spiralling barrel sets.French origin I believe,left a beautiful set of barrels..

That part could have been cut on a horizontal mill with a face mill or shell mill. Another option is a rotary broach that indexes of pin holes. Some of the old machinist handbooks might give a clue to the process.
