Awesome, great job

I really enjoyed watching this, there is something really satisfying watching something been made from scrap, well done.

Nice work there Richard. I am sure you brother will be proud to have a tool he get to see you make. Also, he will appreciate it more when he sees how much work went into it.

I sure enjoyed , Just what I do , Making somthin from nuthin .. AWESOME !

That's a nice looking knurl!

Well done Richard, thanks. Richard

Real nice

Very nice I like when you made the knurled part as well as when you cut the threads they say that you can use a mini metal lathe that I have that you can use to make your own screws

thats why you need metal soft jaws too. to hold weird stuff. good job man

sweet. thank you nice video.

The words every guy that works with his hands.....if I ever get a bigger shop. I'll tell you what will happen. You will get said shop and a couple years later.....you start in with the if I ever get a bigger shop again. Lol that's what happened to me. Start with a small single bay. Now I have a 3 bay and attic that I rotate tools whether wood metal or what not. It's never ending. Lmao

Nice job on the knurling. Iam going to make a knurling tool like your’s. I have the push one. But like everbody else I don’t t like like the push knurling tool. Thanks for the video’s.

Admit it, Richard. Your brother is a vampire/werewolf slayer. That tip is made of silver.

“Chips are hot” lol ...not the mention a foot long! ... maybe grind a chip breaker into that tool that suits your speed&feed. Good vid cheers.

The threaded rod or bolt material could either be quenched and tempered medium carbon steel , or Q&T 4140. You can’t harden a 4130 alloy very good, only 0.3% carbon. Hope that helps.

Hey Rich. Nice "Hole Punch??" I have a couple of newbie questions. When you were knurling it looked like you were not running on the centerline of the part as you knurled. Was this the case and why? Or was I fooled by the camera angle? Second, when you hardened and quenched the tip, I am guessing that you got a pretty good amount of heat in the end of the tool too. When you quenched it did the body of the tool harden up any indicating a carbon content? You know me, always the guy with all the dumb questions. My next YT Shop student video will be a captive nut. This way I get some threading, tapping, knurling experience. I have the 12L14 for it but am waiting on some thread wires. This is academic for me so will be trying my hand at threading by the book for a class 2a fit. If I don't make it, no worries since it is a toy I am making but might as well try. I like your knurling tool. I have the bump type so will see how it goes. Hopefully well as long as it is supported. However, i think the scissor type you have would be superior. Thanks for sharing Richard. Always looking forward to seeing your videos. Hopefully I will have another up soon. Joe

Checked on the price of 1018 hot/cold rolled at the Metals Supermarket in Knoxville, TN this morning, cold rolled 1018 went up $0.85/lb this morning!!! With those prices we're all going to be MSFN!! I can see home shop machinist in back alleys making a deal for some steel!! lol

yes its hard this is a tread bar the steel f114 but its tread rolling and that have very much tension in the bar , good video and a good work

That's a nice bundle of pot scrubbers you turned up.

Could be 4340 or EN25, they are often used for gears and screws where they are under continuous stresses.

Blue color in the point lose the hardened , the best color for the revenue is gold . Tank for give you experience .

Another good one.You queried what the steel was in the "bolt". You didn't say what it was used for but by the way it machined and looked could be 4140. Tough stuff.

Im in the UK, looks like EN19T or possibly EN24T to me the way the swarf is forming and the finish.

Win, Win, TFS, G :)

good job man grand pa gordon CANADA

When you disengage the half nut and move the carriage to check knurl quality should you use the thread dial to makes sure it starts in same place or does it not matter?

Looks like a b7 stud which is heat treated 4140

Probably prehard 4140. It turns pretty nicely.

I always thought that was a 4130 or 4140 type of steel. Machines a little like it.

I have had shafts with hard spots before

Allthread is make from all kinds of weird alloys I've found, I've had very mixed results on the machinability. But it is a great, cheap (as here sometimes even free) material to use. My little hobby lathe has 550 watts of power and if I turn the RPM's down with a CCMT insert I have no problem with a pretty deep cut, granted the feed is not great but I've cut 5/32nd just fine once I've cleaned up the threads (interrupted cuts suck). It's not gonna leave a nice finish but if I turn my RPM down to like 125-200 range I have no fear about dialing in 5/64, and if it seems easily machinable I dial it up to 5/32 if I just wanna remove tons off the OD.

i have 2 36" lathes i want to trade 1 for a smaller one and get a much bigger one!

8.8 grade screws are made of 42CrMo4 or 1.7225, harder ones, i.g 10.9 and higher are made of 34CrNiMo6

you need to do one on your shop compressor when you get a new one take the old one out into the woods and blow it up with some amex or tnt or rdx now that would be very satisfying to see lol.

Lots of flex in that tool post eh? :-) Maybe a good scraping job would help to tighten it up.

Interesting and good to see / read the reasoning behind it all. Hate seeing big bits of steel going to waste too. But Heh, what about ALL THAT Threadlocking product? - U got shares in it ? Thawt one used 1 or 2 drops on a part !

Industrial centre punch?

Awesome job sir. Did the original material by chance have the nuts on it still?

hi u r a great

Are you sure your brother isn't a vampire slayer? Either way, thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this tool.

machines like 4140. most of the hard spots in threaded stock come from work hardening from torque and tension from fasteners being tightened on it . pretty cool tool .

Vampires better run!!!! or, it is Roman tools, and Jesus better run.... LOL That is cool looking...

Nicest prison shank I've ever seen! Slip it into a sub sandwich, hidden under the bologna and the guards will never see it.

Is there a reason you didn't make it in 1 piece? Maybe bed length? You almost stopped my heart when you gripped on the knurled finish. Looks really pretty now it's finished. Ask your brother to film him using it perhaps. You can pretty much guarantee that steel is 4140. Excellent job Richard. 👏👍 David.

There you go , picking on the old girl. Calling it a baby. Better talk nice to her or she will quit on you. Lol she saw you threw to the end. Better give her some oil tonight. Love your projects and good job. 2 videos in one night boy I feel lucky.

609 Loktite is bearing retainer, it says so right on the label. You should have used Loktite red, permanent thread locker.

your brother really is a vampire killer, right?

4:50 Nice Freehand on that shoulder. - Your speed/feed/depth of cut are close to perfect. If the chips were breaking it would be. - What was the original use of the large bolt? - Why does your brother need a "big stabby thing?" - Nice job overall.

What is it?

gun barrels are made from 4140,then you know that this stuff is hard and high tension

ask brudda fer a vid using it

zombie killer
