It is just a threaded screw with division’s of 25 notches on its belt. The only match is addition. If the barrel stops between two numbers, then “SWAG” it. (Sophisticated Wild Ass Guess). And feeler gauges fall into two classes; flat and stepped. While flat are common and obvious in description, the “Stepped” are my favorite for speed and accuracy. I bought my 3 sets from SnapOn but if setting cold valve lash to 0.010”, I have to find the one that is marked 0.090”-0.011”. This make a step that stops taking the feel out of feeler gauges, that’s how they got their name. My only recent discovery in the world of accuracy was a documentary about an engineer before the turn of the century who tool steel and compound, rubbing each together for weeks or months. Each became standards so flat that when dry, the stuck together. Sold as a set and in very high demand, they sold for thousands of dollars. Millions in todays value. It was the beginning of machine making accuracy for firearms. This would allow interchangeable parts. Smith & Wesson pulled a stunt at the worlds Fair in Paris in 1906 (Not sure as going by memory) but to show their firearm accuracy, he took 8 firearms hours was spent on by technicians & engineers who filed and fitted each part. Either Wesson or Smith was the salesman and put on a show for hundreds. He disassembled every part of all six guns, moved the parts at random, put them together and they fired accurately. It was a huge victory for sales. Even though years before “Machines” could reach that level of accuracy.
@DrRChandra2 жыл бұрын
Tin is possibly confusing "accuracy" with "precision". Accuracy is adherence to a standard. Precision is how finely divided the measurement is. You can have something that is very precise, down to a hundredth of a millimeter, but it can be several millimeters off standard.

Tim, I’ve been meaning to message you for ages. I’m a long time fan of your work. Like you I have an interest in all things engineering, I’m a tinkerer, and I’m never happier than when I’m in my garage welding, soldering or generally making/breaking something. I’ve been a fan of your work since the “secret life of” series. I watched them on video over and over and over as a child, seeing you and Rex talk about and demonstrate how things work really struck a chord with me. I’ve re-watched the shows many times since, and recently with my children who also loved them. It’s fair to say you inspired at least two generations of my family! I did actually meet Rex back in about ‘97, as we were both competitors on robot wars series 2. He was a lovely guy, they say never meet your heroes, but Rex didn’t disappoint. I’m emailing you today to say thanks for your recent KZfaq series documenting your experiences over your long career in engineering. I find the new videos fascinating and it’s fantastic that you’ve taken the time to detail the practical things you’ve learned over the years. I love the level of detail you go into, and your passion is evident. I hate to think of this sort of practical hands-on real world knowledge being lost. That’s all really, I’m a huge fan, love your work, thanks for everything you’ve contributed over the years. I for one really appreciate it. I’ve never actually made it over to Southwold pier to see your under the pier arcade, but hope to do so soon. I live in Bristol, so it’s a bit of a trek, but I will make the effort as I’m sure it’ll be worth it. Thanks again Tim, I’m 45 now, and have been watching your stuff for 30+ years and will continue to do so. We need more Tim Hunkins in the world if you ask me! :-) Just getting to see the different parts of your workshops is a treat. Thanks Dan

Tim, as a certified automotive ASE* Master tech in the states, I am tremendously pleased with the presentation, examples, history and the teaching you provide. I was told that “Archimedes” invented the screw that was using to lift water. Also famous for levers and fulcrums but still as fascinating subject. I was riveted to my chair as I watched, as if to somehow bolt down unable to move. I have gravity but what would space travelers use to hold them with no gravity. Velcro I guess as their sleeping quarters are sleeping sacks held in place with the generic two part material we now call “Hook & Loop” fasteners. Another interesting screw extractor is made by Ridid Tool, but provides a shaft with fluted sides. A hole is drill, the fluted extractor is driven into the hole, then a nut slides over it with matching internal fluted or vertical raised areas and turned by hand to extract the broken bolt. The fluted extractors can be replaced but often kept by the technician like me, as a trophy or sorts. As you call it a “Poder”, in the states we call it a “Spud” wrench. Tapered on one end but fixed size “Spanner” commonly used in construction as I repaired TV and Telephone Relay towers from 100 feet to 1,375 feet. That was the tallest for me when much younger. Thanks very much! God bless the brain that never sleeps or gets tired of learning. (*ASE= Automotive Service Excellence, 8 categories of questions on a test. Pass all 8, they award you a “Master Level” award.)

It might have been more controllable using a Bit and Brace. I don't have one so I have frequently drilled out the screw. Once the head is off the rest of the screws are usually mobile.

I now have a cutting bit which works when turning in the opposite direction to a normal drill bit - but have had no occasion to use it.

Your videos are the most comprehensive review on a specific mechanical subject I have ever encountered. I have had four or five years of technical training and worked the "dead line" reparing all of the machines that the other technicians gave up on for a fair part of my career, so I spent a lot of time trying to learn all the tips and tricks to fix things and get everything back up and running, so I feel I have a fair perspective in saying your videos cover the subject wonderfully. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication. Additional thoughts: The springs that are screwed into the tapped hole to fix the threads are called thread inserts for metals HELICOIL® and they were made by the devil to make mechanics sorry they ever encountered a Helicoil. After being loosened and re-tightened a few times like on an acces pannel they fail. Better to tap it to a larger size or to fill it with weld and re-drill and tap it again. Also the Helicoil only has about 40% of the original holding strength. Another interesting related subject is Torque Seal and anti tamper indicator paist. Both can be applied in a small dab to the edge of the head of a tightened bolt or to a nut and if the bolt head moves the hardened paist will crack and you will know that it has moved and may be loose. Thanks again for all of the amazing videos, they are a treasure for all who are dedicated to learning and designing machines.
