As she doesn't drive and Gordon had to give up his Driving licence for obvious reasons mum was stuck looking after him She isn't able to do what Lyle does but at 92 in a few weeks she still sends emails . watches KZfaqs and generally surfs the net when she cant sleep or is just lonely I am immensely proud of her We do live in enlightened times IF we want to learn, I have been on the net since 1991 and things have changed so much since then, but one thing I have noticed very much the things I have and want to learn about have become easier to find and a lot of friendships have been made ( even a Canadian wife for a time, I live in Western Australia) Tony

When I took shop in High School From 1964 To 1968, and went back in 1969, to take 4 years of aviation in 1 year as a special student . I was lucky to go to a school, that had all the shops, I mean all. From wood to cooking and sowing classes, body shop to Aircraft, From electrical, to machines shop, and castings, and type setting. And we never had the luxury of some of the great videos, that you have made over the years. I wonder how many teachers, are going to do something in their shops, and before the kids do their project say watch MR Pete. First. ( I see in your new videos your not as long winded, as you used to be, I am smiling when I say that. ) Even I, an old guy have learned a lot. Have a small lathe and small mill, and lots off fun. Ok teach have a great day.

Good smart setups on the mill. Very nice little vise you now have. One pet peeve of mine though is the use of Dead Centers in the Tailstock. Dead Centers were designed to be used in the Headstock because they turn with the work. Live Centers are to be used in the tailstock so they will also turn with the work. If a Dead Center is used in the Tailstock, it will wear out the center as the workpiece spins on the dead center point. The one exception to this rule is if you are turning Bronze, which acts like a bearing and won’t destroy your dead center. rant over. Nice job.
@mrpete2226 жыл бұрын
That is a carbide tipped center
@BUILDNIGHT6 жыл бұрын
mrpete222 yes...its carbide tipped but will wear just as carbide inserts or carbide endmills wear. best used for brass or bronze. Given the clearance design of it, i imagine that was the intent. the clearance wouldnt benefit anything if used in the headstock.

Just to let you know. My wife and I are going to do one of your vices. Won't be cast iron though, you're right can't find castings anywhere. Thanks for all you do.
@mrpete2226 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can now buy those castings. That will be showing on tomorrow's video

Brought back a lot of good shop class memories, thank you. Unfortunately "shop class" has no place in today's curriculum and was replaced with C.A.D.,C.I.C., 3D print programing etc. which is progress but nothing matches up to hands on tooling and fabrication that not only taught what stock to use for a particular job but introduced problem solving and COMMON SENSE. The last time I mentioned a three jaw chuck to a young man at the educational facility I work for he looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out my ears and thought it was a guy named Charles with a severe birth defect. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to more instructional video's. Ozar62

Nice series again, thanks for that. The only thing I would do extra is mill a slot on both ends of the vice so i could bolt it down to a table.

Love to watch your videos. Big truck and large mining equipment mechanic here. I have some mechanical pullers and some pushing screws have a ball bearing on the end that ride in a simple cone shaped bottom of the pushing plate or tip. This increases the pressure or decrease the amount of force needed to tighten it. Why not do that to your new vise? Keep the videos coming.

Great series Mr. Pete and always enjoy the humor. Came out real nice and the blued balls give it a nice touch. Didn't seem to have too much wobble. I know you have a Ton of vices around your shops, but are you going to make jaws for it? The setups for drilling the screw holes and milling the V's would be interesting. Thanks Again!

Nice build. I have turned the steel jaw facing on my vices around. I find the vertical and horizontal v-grooves for holding round stock is more of a nuisance most of the time than a help. If I want to hold some round, I just use a parallel as i would in the milling vice.
