Nice!

Alec Steele you are amazing and I am wondering how to get in to black smithing I just got absolutely captivate by black smith

Stop tasting the oil

Just a suggestion as a machinist squaring the chuck to the travel of the grinder is very important but it is only half the battle during the video you took off the back rail of the chuck when cleaning it when you square the front of the chuck again and put the back rail on the chuck you will also need to side wheel grind that in to make sure it as well is parallel to the axis of the tables travel. Also I'm assuming if you've watched videos on grinding you've seen people use stones on everything from the chuck to the parts they place on it, stoning takes the high spots on a grinder and brings them down to average the top of the chuck and makes sure the bearing surface of the chuck to the part is as good as It can be so I highly recommend if you plan on using the grinder for accurate parts to get one, another tip I saw you put the grinding wheel down on the chuck I recommend not doing that as the wheel is harder than the metal used to make the chuck so in placing the wheel on the chuck you may have put a slight ding in it not a huge issue but just good practice. Also when dressing the wheel a new wheel that you put on the grinder will usually need to be dressed quite a bit to make sure you are running true the wheel might be bouncing on the surface there should be a lines perpendicular to the axis of the grinder where the wheel skips that is how you can tell visually but you might also hear a slight bouncing sound that comes with experience but it is good to look for.

Hummingbird idk who he is

David Todd Vlogs the guy in the newer videos

Also "not found the lucky lady yet"

I agree, Everyone has to shut down to do maintenance or you risk major breakdowns that can really cost you. And I'm really enjoying this videos of him tearing down and working on his machinery.

What I'm looking forward to: When he does a project that will require using all the different elements he now has in his shop---blacksmithing + foundry + machining :D

+Kyle Pittman. blacksmithing and machining are in my opinion go hand-in-hand. you can literally make anything, from basically nothing. that's pretty cool to say you can do.

James Brady thanks my man, nice to be noticed!

Jamie is the man!

Jamie Popple amazing...go up always.👌🏻

Thank you :)

My grandfather told me that exact same thing when I was growing up, best advice along with work smarter not harder!

dont leave jax! out! hahaha

Which is nicely!!!

Always a pleasure!

I watched it at work. I made $22 sitting here watching this :)

That's funny, I had to do the opposite. All my videos are over 25 minutes, so i had to start cutting them down to 10-15

Yeah those factory guys do a hell of a job. You should see a Motor control center off the line. Now that is art

Yeah it certainly instills confidence that the Indians who built it cared about their work.

Yes.... Just like you said you WISHED you had done for the Bridgeport when you had first gotten it.

I have only ever seen one that tested a magnetic chuck when I did a calibration course. All that did was test the break away torque required. If your mag based chuck is flat and has had less than 3/16" ground of it it will be fine. I think he said that he was going to remove the slideway lube pump? The X and Z are probably gibed slides. I would guess that the X has linear bearings an would benefit from grease? I don't know but a cheap and easy fix would be a half decent grease gun converted for oil and fit grease fittings at the ports the unobtanium pump was feeding. At least that will get some oil around. Cheers

I usually make a a long C spanner and put the pins in the side it should always give access to the flats then.

Maggie McDonald maybe he's related to Jeremy Clarkson from top gear :D

Or Mountain Dew :-)

Then hit it

Yes Maggie, hammer needs lube from time to time. Haven't anyone showed you that by now? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

AReallyBadKZfaqr May we get that on a t shirt? :D

how about a "10:1... so... 68:1." The whole coolant bit was golden for t-shirt material.

Thrilled you enjoyed it!!!

After i used mine almost every day for the last 3years its pretty boring after a while. Also Alec, i dont know if you heard of it, but if you wanna get a more accurate grinding stone, you can buy grinding stones made out of rubber. Its also usuable for much longer

I was going to recommend that he tin the ends with solder and a soldering iron. Ferrules would still work though - either option is better than bare copper :-)

As an electronics technician this always triggers me watching people clamping wires without ferrules.

Thrilled ya enjoyed!!!

You are asking for a friend?

An "I'm a Buffoon!" and "I'm such a numpty" t-shirt would be on my back every day I went to my machine tool tech classes. Just put your maker's mark under the quote. The world needs this. : )

YES!!!!

Oh, I know.

FAIL---First Attempt In Learning?

Ya gotta get the jeezeless things to do what you wqnt somehow!

Thank you Sir!!!

You are correct. There are two ways to connect a 3-phase motor and they are called delta wye.

Eetu Jääskeläinen thanks for agreeing with me that means I somehow made my comment understandable for other people than me😂😅

aassug ok thanks

Down in Oz we call it either connecting in Star or Delta. Unless there are 6 terminals in there (which my brief glimpse didn't see), it doesn't look as if you have the option to choose. If there's no neutral terminal, there's no need to connect it. Often there's a wiring diagram on the inside of the cover... unless it was paper and disintegrated. Make sure those screws are damn tight though, and thoroughly twist the wires until they're like a solid wire (use pliers), with no loose strands hanging free. (I did not give this advice though, as here it's illegal here for those without a licence to play with electricity) Best of luck :) Edit: that's just motor connections, of course you're not going to get a choice there, and the control circuit will probably need the neutral, unless there's an internal transformer, but I see you found a screw for it and got it connected, otherwise it may not have run at all.

The Neutral is not needed because there is no unbalanced current to send back on a neutral, otherwise known as a balanced load.

That should be the phrase on the eventual surface grinder shirt.

Yep. Earth/ground is a safety feature and (electrically) not necessary for normal operation. And three phase motors don't necessarily need neutral.

Anything abrasive tends to build up static charges, you want that neutral connected for that and of course the obvious safety issue...

the neutral actually is needed in this case. Not for the motor but there are relays in it and its coil is rated most often just for 230V. Between lines you have 400 volts and between line and neutral you have 230V

What is the purpose of the countersink before reaming?

So that you don't have a bur in a reamed hole (if the countersink happens to be a bit dull). It also serves as a guide for the reamer.

@@gam3ov3r1995 a> I very very much doubt he would leave a burr on ANYTHING. He's insanely careful at testing things. b> he said the ream was pointless anyways because he was welding it. Esch the kid makes precision weapons your wet dreams didn't even dream of.... in the words of my now dead mother....shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddduuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppp!

cloudstrife1989 still need earth protection tho

Also u dont need Ground to run it. Its just not that safe if electrisity gets on the metal shielding :D

The relevant rule being BS 7671 543.7.1.202 so if you want your insurance to be valid you better have that earth.

I slowed down the video to check out the control panel, the neutral is for the control panel, not the motors, and as cobalt said, an Earth isn't optional, any fault could kill you. Never play with anything other than extra-low voltage DC without a good earth connection.

Joshua Kellogg yeah more whack whack

Not really, would be my guess. For armor you usually use an English Wheel and a whole different tool set/hammers than Alec got at this moment. Armor is mostly made out of sheet metal. Could he make armor right now? Of course, it's Alec! He would find a way :P

As I understand it, traditional armor was tapered to put more thickness in the places that were more likely to take a blow and reduce weight in the places where you weren't going to get hit as easily. Armor made of sheet metal may look the same and weigh the same as traditional armors but they wouldn't be as protective because of the uniform thickness of the pieces. And you're not going to get the taper in from working sheet metal. You need to do a full smithing from blocks to get that.

Commented too early 😂

Slingshot RT can you use a "dust mask" to stop breathing in "dust".🤔 Your question might well break the internet.

Heineken Skywalker hahaha😂 i was thinking about what is better

Dusk mask will work, but you'll be replacing it often. Might as well buy a respirator right away if you do this often

Excludos thanks;)

mainland Europe. We Brits always draw a distinction

Alex PJP but with the tunnel you are connected now 😂😂😂😂😂

If a man made tunnel counts then sure XD. But its more of a cultural thing. We don't really have much in common with Europe and as you would expect we are far similar to America, Canada, New Zealand ect. It doesn't really make to much sense why we do draw that distinction but i think it comes down to bitter pride and independence.

Alex PJP was just kidding There's only one nation thats pays in weight and messures weight with rocks Keep it up we love Brittany

You did have a good point doe XD so shhhh, don't let anyone else hear it :P

He committed assume-a-cide.
