For this project we make some very simple clamping bars to be used with standard 1-2-3 blocks, making them far more useful and convenient on the mini machines.

Nice intro to 1,2,3 blocks and how to adapt to smaller mills. I recently purchased a mini lathe and mill and find your videos helpful. thank you!

Yes please keep these tooling videos coming. Thanks. It will be great to see these clamps being used in later videos.

Wow, finally figured out the purpose of this tool. Very useful. Thanks So basically having 2 of these at hand is good idea.

That is a very ingenious idea! I'll make some for my 123 blocks. I've enjoyed your videos, and look forward to more. :)

Another quick tip for the cup set screws put a drop of easy loc-tite on the threads and screw it through the back side so the cup protrudes just a little bit now use a file to flatten the point, this works on a hardened 1-2-3 block because the surface of the block is harder then the file so it doesn't harm the block but only takes the sharp edge from the setscrew Keep these setscrews aside for tooling uses. The recommended tap drills are based on final thread engagement not material that relates to class fit in the Machinery's hand book For softer more ductile materials normally a courser pitch thread is used Courser threads also have greater pull out strength in tension but lessin shear because less of the core material is left. I have wondered why the mini-mill t slot nuts are tapped with 10-32 because of this I also wonder why they did not go to 1/4 "hardware as it is more universally available from vendors.

What was the movement about 11 1/2 minutes in when you traversed your table it looked like your table was shifting or slopping about. Great Idea though! I am always thinking of ways to expand my table space. By using this technique and putting an end plate to square my piece I can substantially increase my support abilities of the edges of the table and easily rotate my work piece with correct alignment. Thanks.

I have watched your video several times now, but I can't see how you have attached your t-blocks to your 123 blocks?
@nathanroberson6 жыл бұрын
I bet that block has been hardend, so you would not want to try to tap holes in it
@fastlanehobbies75806 жыл бұрын
Nathan Roberson I suspect he purchased pre tapped blocks but threading hardened blocks is not that difficult with the correct equipment.
@normwats35773 жыл бұрын
Bonne idée
@petermenningen3388 жыл бұрын
Most 1-2-3 blocks are hardened and polished so tapping the other holes may not be an option. Check with a file before breaking a tap in a hole

Peter Menningen hardened material can be threaded. I've done it many times.
