Unloosen, huh? Well, irregardless 😁😁, I still really enjoy your videos.

I just wanna thank Joe and everyone else like him who takes the time to teach us dummies how to keep our fingers. I really appreciate Joe, Tony, Pete and anyone I missed. You guys are a national treasure. Thanks Joe!

S W E E T. In school a 1/2 thou was a mistake, LOL. There is no stop for shop made tooling. This shows that in spades my friend. Thanks a bunch teach.

Another great tip Joe, thanks. I have used this for many years and like some of the other commenters here I run a second rod in the setup [when the sizes permit] . I set it so that when the jig is touching to set the tool position the wire is close to the tool side of the bore hole and as parting progresses the wire moves across the borehole not interfering with anything. I use stiff, flexible wire [a piece of coat hanger] and arrange it to enter the hole by 2 or 3 times the washer/shim thickness and to slope down away from the job. This way machine vibrations cause the cut pieces to shuffle away from the working area and the overall speed is increased because you now don't have to manually remove the parts at each cut. Keep up the excellent work!

My Grizzly tool post doesn’t have a drilled & tapped hole in it. BUT it will by the end of the day. Thank You Joe for another great idea. You know 40years ago I took a full year’s worth of 6 hour, Saturday machine shop classes @ LH Bates Vol.Tech. In Tacoma and can honestly say that I have learned more in your little 15 - 20 minute video clips than I ever could have imagined at Bates. That instructor was great at hanging a coffee cup on one hand while telling war stories from the past but you my friend are a wizard. 🤓 Another Joe

You are the most informative poster on KZfaq,and a true Genius, wouldn’t miss any of your videos.Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to make these videos.

I had to make a few shims earlier, wasn't very happy with the results so will be remaking them tomorrow with this method... thanks again joe

I'm impressed that you don't need to turn the machine un-on between parts!

The teacher I wish I had in school. Thanks again Joe. I've said I before the education departments in this world today need more people like you.

"Unloosen" is a word my mother would have used. Keep using it!

Joe: At 77 years young I have learned more in the three years i have been watching your vids than i ever did working in shops I hope that I have time lift to use all of them Lol........ I think you need to put your tips and tricks into a book, I know it will sell. Thank you again. Be well and be safe....Bill

Slick as snot Joe. I will use that one for sure.

I love it when you use the term unloosen, because, as you say, it's bound to piss somebody off!

I've just been using that hole on the QCTP for a handle. Thank you for showing us another use:-)

That angle parting was a cool trick. Thanks a bunch.

Just got home and saying hi to my dog before going to make spacers and find this video. Perfect timing, if I don't spend all my time setting this up for next time. Thanks.

Great Video as always...I do the same... But add another finger to catch the part up the middle. Then you don't need to use the Allen Key for the part catcher

Very nice Joe. It's amazing how much interesting information you share with us. Thanks

Great tip Joe, one of the best I've seen. Thanks

Excellent time saver Joe! 🤙

Joe, Thanks for the tip, This will work well when I'm parting off cast iron rings for my engines.

You never disappoint. As somebody starting out and trying to learn all I can, I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thank you

That tip will be just as good for only two or three parts as well. Well worth the few minutes to set up. Thank you.

Excellent unloosening!

This is the exact reason I watch the youtube world. @Joe you are a true legend and cant get enough of watching your videos. Such a shame your so far away from Australia as this is a workshop I would be in awe in. :)

Add another (sliding) rod forward of the stop rod that can be entered into the part bore while parting to catch each ring as it drops off. You can set it up to catch a multitude of rings without worrying about losing them in the chip pan. Just push it into the bore before parting off and slide it back out of the way for the next. A small "hook" on the rod end will keep the parts from sliding off the rod. No need to catch it manually and keeps both hands free.

every video is a gift that if honest .that we all get something out of . :)

I cringed when you said "unloosen everything", then laughed my *ss off when you said why you loved saying it. Great videos, thanks Joe, I've learned a ton from you & really appreciate it.

Nice! Thank you for the metric conversions. They really help.

Thanks Joe. You are one of the smartest people I know.

always good info on your channel very useful thanks Joe

Worth the price of admission and then some Joe. Nice tip

Great idea Joe!!

Thats another great video joe. Love the production method, slicker than bat shit. Really can expediate multiple parts quickly.

Thanks again Joe. This was great I will need to use this setup.

Great tip, thank you! Enjoy watching your videos Joe.

Great, now I have another thing on my to "do list" LOL. Seriously this is so simple but awesome.

Thank you! Learning something new with each video.

Great idea! The mod you made to the tool so the part breaks off clean is priceless! Thank you👍🏻

As soon as you said work stop, it was all clear. Very useful tips.

Thank you Joe, for the great tip and the tooling set up!

Another one slammed right out of the park! Thanks again for sharing :)

Brilliant in its simplicity, great tip Joe. Thanks for sharing.

Great Set up Joe Thanks for sharing a great little video

Ingenius in the true sense of the word, as always. Never forget the untightening operation!

Mate love your Tips Joe!! Keep em coming

Thanks for the short format tips and tricks Joe. Always a pleasure to view.

Joe every time I click one of your videos I always learn something new. Thanks for your time I know posting on KZfaq/video production is tough and a lot more than just machining.

Great idea Joe... love the videos.

Off to the shop to make one! Thanks for another very useful video.

As usual, pure genius! Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.

The force is strong in this one.

Thanks Joe keep up the great videos Love your work All the way from Australia thank you

Outstanding videos Joe. I've been in engineering since 1979 and I'm always learning something. Keep it manual. Old school is the best school.👍

Awesome trick Joe. Thanks. Our snowmobile race program just stepped up a notch. 😊

4 videos in a week!! Lovin this!! Thanks Joe!! Always a pleasure!!

PS: Thanks for including metric versions of your measurements.

You sure have some handy to know pointers to give out to us lesser mortals. Thanks again Joe, much appreciated. Cheers from Indonesia.

Great video as always! You have a very common sense approach to machining, its great to watch!.

Everything in this video hit a home run for me. Thank you for upping my game. Never noticed that hole on the Aloris too post.

Always amazed at how very clever, simple is. Thanks for another great insite Joe.

This one, will for sure be handy, thanks Joe!!!!

I'm liking that little trick, will have to make one. As always Joe, thanks for sharing.

Awesome! Simple, brilliant, elegant... Great tip!!! what else can we ask for???

Bravo! What a fabulously useful tip, so brilliant and so elegant, quick and practical in using your touch to set the distance. Thank you so much for sharing!

Nice setup. You could add a length of piano wire, attached parallel to the stop rod, but going slightly inside the drilled hole to collect cut pieces automatically (it will not interfere with the operations because it will flex).

Very slick tip Joe👍👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻💯

Another really useful tip Joe and I like the metric annotations at the end, thanks.

I really appreciate the videos you do; you are an excellent teacher in addition to your work. Many very practical tips.

Another one I will use. Thank you Joe.

Great info Joe!!! I cut alot of Delrin slices just like that and this will sure help. I refuse to run the Delrin in my CNC lathe as I don't want the swarf in my coolant. Neat trick!!! THANK YOU!

Joe, I would say this one was a Grand Slam. :-)

That's an excellent tip! Thanks Joe!

That's great...thanks for the ideas. I'm always looking for ways to improve. I'll be hammering out one myself.

this very impressive work joe, i am allways looking ar you videos thanks very much buddy, i have learnt a lot

Brilliant idea Joe - thank you.

I'm a tinkerer and do some hobby machining at home. I've learned alot from watching your videos. More than I did when machining in shop class. Altough probably forgot most of it since then ;) Keep these helpfull tips coming. Cheers and thank you from Belgium.

I just got home from a 350 mile drive in which I designed a normal clamp on the bed flip stop in my head. Need it for an up coming project. Get home and this video was on my page. I'm using a multifix, so no hole in the post but I do have two bolt holes on the back side of the saddle for a follow rest. You just changed my thought process, Thanks Joe!

I like that tip, very interesting stuff and as an unqualified quick-fix-or-weld-it type person I can use tips like that. Cheers!

Thats is definitely a great tip !! I cant wait to give it a shot ! Thanks !!

Great idea!! Love your videos!! Thank you!

Now that is really cool and useful. I got some scrap cold roll laying around, so I'm gonna make me one. I got to make 8. 2 in dia. X 1/4 in thick stainless washers with a 3/4 in hole for a bank vault door. This will make my task easy. THANKS JOE 👍👍👍

That's a simple but very effective way to make odd-sized washers inhouse. I remember using a very similar Lathe setup last year to ready some 40 pcs. of copper washers for an electric fitment in our factory (when couldn't find it in the stores). But here's the difference, I never cared to think that this idea may come handy to someone else too, while you go on and share it to the whole world. Salutes to your selfless efforts, Sir Joe !!

Great tip, I cut some thick washers today, I could have used this method. my phase II post does not have a hole, will have to put one in it

Thanks Joe, It makes sense, and I will use it! Thanks again!

Great idea, as usual. The beauty of this kind of ideas is tha opens the mind to solve so many other situations. Thanks.

I like the un-loosening bit. Reminds me of a guy I worked with who used to bend things straight...

Always deliver maximum value with your videos, the hss regrind is probably known to some folk, but I was scratching my head on this exact issue on the weekend, ended up using a noga debur by hand which worked, but wasn't smart

Great if no DRO, but with one no stop needed. Been machining about the same years as you. Love your Vids !!

Looks like I'll be making one of these this morning. Thanks

Genius! Will create this tomorrow!

Just made one Joe, it works great! Thanks

Great little tip Joe thanks 👍

Excellent tip! Tanks for sharing!

Brilliant, as always. I'm off to my shed now...

Excellent video as usual. Never noticed the tapped hole before, however both my Aloris and Phase II have the holes

Great video thanks for sharing

Wow Joe! More gold!... you have now set my expectations so high I will have to cease to be amazed.. gotta go... gotta check my tool post for a hole....

So simple yet so effective Joe Another one for the book Pete UK

Have to work one out for a Multifix-good idea Joe, thanks!
