Sometimes the shaper is the perfect tool for the job and set up is easy and straight forward. Other times it's just a bastard to set up and machine. That's why it's nice to have a shaper, vertical mill, horizontal mill and eventually horizontal boring mill. With those machines and a bunch of tooling a guy would almost never be beat no matter what came through the door. Ken

Even though the shaper didn't pan out, it was really interesting to see the two approaches setting up these parts. Lots of great tricks. Also amazing to see such a massive milling machine table be adjusted so minutely to 'split' the sharpie blueing!

Good video Max, always good to see how people approach jobs, for me I still have my double Vee blocks I made in 1979 in the toolroom I worked in as a nipper, I would have used 45/90 as many many jobs have a 90 in them. I get the "content" part with the shaper as I used to plane the crust off a lot of forged IMPAX at 16 on the shaper "to a chalk line" drawn by the foreman lol For me I would have done the big faces "flat" then blocked the 3 big sides off the bed with the face cutter as a pair and clocked then off ground Tee Slot slips we used to tap in the t slot as a guide. Looking fwd to part 3.

Was looking forward to this 2nd part & eagerly awaiting part 3. Wouldn’t mind making some V blocks for the Bridgeport myself - but although they might look simple, this is proof that they aren’t & based on recent days results just starting out with the Bridgeport - it’s evident my skill set is a long ways away from doing this kind of work yet. Hopefully some new inserts & torx screws out of Germany might fix my face mill screw up. 🙄😂😉 Lucky it was only a test part. 👍

Ah, the trials and tribulations of a jobbing machinist/engineer(I share your pain😜)! TBH I think the issues with the hard spots on the cut edge of the material, kinda sums up the issues with shapers(they're handy but limited and slow)😕 - I know you rightly wanted to play with it after renovations(I would too - I've a 14" Ajax shaper that I haven't used in 25yrs of ownership) 😊 IMHO - using flame cut plate wasn't the best choice for precision jig tooling(so many rolled in, geometry and flame cutting(thermally) induced stresses), that the tooling will deform as it ages. - maybe normalising of the material should have been the first process🤔? Good old Elga to the rescue🤗! BTW You don't see many Elga's about(I have an Elga Jig Borer from the 1980's which I'm planning to CNC convert, as it has ball screws on the table axis, and scales already fitted - one of about two hundred other jobs/projects to do)🤪. They're a very good quality machine to have. 👍👍

Max, I've got a couple questions that came to mind while watching: 1. When you were blending the face mill cuts on the V-surfaces, you did it by trial & error (and got amazing results too!). Would it ever(?) be useful to use a depth gauge/mic to measure the difference between the two surfaces? 2. Did you show the details of the hone set-up on your South Bend? Did you build it or buy it? What "search terms" should we use to find that type of honing disc? 3. This isn't a question, but while Anchorlube is great cutting "fluid," I *think* that someone like Joe Pie recently posted a video showing what happens to steel items if the Anchorlube isn't cleaned off of them after the cutting is complete. Whoever posted that video was clearly unhappy with the, I think, damage caused to the steel parts/tooling.
@swanvalleymachineshop21 күн бұрын
You could use a depth mic but it would be way too much mucking around to get the same result . You would have to use trig as well . I intended to show the lapping set up , but forgot ! Will put it in the next video . I have had no issues with Anchorlube staining parts , but i will do some more testing on that one . Cheers 👍

Max,a question if it's okay? To keep the best accuracy on the v blocks will you turn 180 in place or will you turn them 180 and and swap ends with them? Left to right and right to left? Or would it make a difference? Hope I saying things correctly. I liked the blending procedure with the magic marker.
